Mike Vrabel Quotations

Our worst game last year was opening night against the Colts. We need to take this and build on it and move forward. We think we're a better defense than what we showed . . . but we need to go out and prove it.

I think you get this certain stigma that ?This guy can do a lot of things,? but you just want to be able to help the team, ... It?s fun because it?s something different. It breaks up the year a little bit when you go over there in offensive meetings or another meeting to learn a different position. It makes everything go by a little faster.

I think you could take that and turn it around to a number of positions,

And I don't think we're necessarily done. This team is set up for championships. I don't think we're necessarily finished. It's just that we've done all we can do this year.

So at 250 pounds, I was trying to play that position my first year in Pittsburgh, and soon after that we changed to linebacker, but it took some time, ... It wasn't like they didn't have good players. Obviously, you've seen the type of players that leave Pittsburgh and go on to play other places.

We'll find out ... as this season progresses. We've always had the ability to change things simply to give us the best chance to win. It's not done just to get a guy into the game.

He's obviously made his fair share of plays here. He's made game-changing and game-winning plays. I think that when you look at it like that, you're getting another guy out there that has the ability to make those types of plays and help us.

We lost last week. We had to bounce back. It so happened it was the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He has made his fair share of big plays here. Game-winning and game-changing plays. So when you look at it that way, we are getting a guy who can come in and make those kind of plays and help us.

But we kept it close. It's important for us that you keep it close, because we have a lot of confidence that if we keep it close, we can win it in the end.
