CRENNEL: ¡°Not yet. He¡¯s still improving, we¡¯re still working at him
and he¡¯s one play away, and I think he¡¯s excited about that
possibility and he¡¯s preparing every week like he¡¯s going to play.
We¡¯ll see how the games go, and
Atlanta Falcons Jersey
if he has to go in, he¡¯ll be ready to go and do it.¡±
BOB GRETZ (BOBGRETZ.COM): You¡¯ve seen the Steelers¡¯ offense
quite a bit through the years. How are they different this year with
Todd Haley?
CRENNEL: ¡°Yes. Every day he catches balls. He doesn¡¯t let them
hit the ground, so I was surprised that one did hit the ground.¡±
BOB GRETZ (BOBGRETZ.COM): You¡¯ve coached against the Steelers
many times. What do you think is the key to the Steelers¡¯ continued
success?
The former first-round draft pick was brought to Kansas City to
back up Cassel, who is playing on a six-year, $63 million contract.
Cassel was the starter early in the season before sustaining a
concussion of his own against Oakland, and then lost the job during the
Chiefs' bye week.
Defensively, the Ravens are giving up an average of 386.3 yards
to rank 26th in the NFL - uncharacteristic for a historically successful
unit - and they've lost Ray Lewis (torn triceps) and Lardarius Webb
(torn ACL) for the season.
And this weekend, all three will take
Asante Samuel Jersey
their places on the turf at CenturyLink Field in
Brent Grimes Jersey
a span of less than 24 hours. On Saturday night, Desmond will play the
final home game of his college career when the Huskies host Utah. About
14 hours after the youngest Trufant walks off the field, Isaiah's Jets
will face Marcus' Seahawks.
Marcus has spent his entire NFL career with Seattle. Isaiah
started his pro career playing indoor football in Spokane before being
the UFL defensive player of the year in 2010 with Las Vegas that helped
earn his chance in the NFL, making up for being the shortest of the trio
at just 5-foot-8.
Bud Adams, who founded the Titans as the Houston Oilers in 1960
before moving the franchise to Tennessee prior to the 1997 season,
wasn't shy about criticizing his coaches and players following last
week's 51-20 loss to Chicago.
None of them were successful against a defense that has
rediscovered its bite even without Polamalu and his flowing locks
freelancing all over the field. The only place where the Steelers have
really missed Polamalu is in splash plays.
'I just wanted to let `em know that they can't catch us off guard,' Lewis said.
Oh, and what happened to Kyle Rudolph?
Subtracting for sacks, the Vikings netted a mere 44 yards passing in the loss
Corey Peters Jersey
last week at Seattle, and that wasn't even their lowest total of the
season. Their passing net against Arizona, a game they won on Oct. 21,
was 43 yards. In another victory, at Detroit on Sept. 30, the net was
100 yards.
'Fifteen million dollars is a great deal and it's a wonderful
opportunity,' he said. 'But at the end of the day, my scope has never
been small. I take that from days I grew up in Liberty City. I want to
continue to strive for more and greater things.'
Against Utah State
Dominique Franks Jersey
(8-2), he chased down athletic quarterback Chuckie Keeton on
third-and-3 and stopped him short of the first down in a hard-fought 6-3
victory against a bowl-bound Aggies team whose only other loss was by
two points in Wisconsin.
