Bill Cowher Front Quotations

We've been in the playoffs for three weeks now. Nothing will change. We have something to build off now. We'll come back on Wednesday and understand what we have in front of us.

We don't ask people to run differently, ... Runners are runners. I never try to curtail a runner. Our offense has got enough plays that within the running play a ball carrier has a chance to express his ability. I think Willie has gotten more comfortable with the plays we've run. He's had a chance to watch some pretty good backs in front of him be patient on certain plays, hit it on certain plays. I think he's earned this opportunity if indeed Jerome can't go. I'm not concerned; I'm rather excited.

You're going to have go through a little bit of that down cycle. I think when you have some stability with the coaching staff, you have some stability with the front office, I think you're able to bounce back quicker.

You can sit there and project. But the problem thing you can't project is people jumping up when they see a player they want and they jump right in front of you. That's why sometimes you do trade, because of wanting to get a player before somebody else can.

They pretty much dominated us, ... Our offense to their defense, they were pretty smothering out there, and we really couldn't get anything going. Their offense and their defensive front pretty much dominated tonight, and you can't deny that.

They're just as hungry as we are. It's a golden opportunity for us, but don't underestimate the challenge that's in front of us. ... You realize how hard it is to get there, but don't lose sight that the goal is to win a championship. Nobody remembers that you lost a Super Bowl. They remember who won a Super Bowl.
