00:00Coach, we've asked the question about Mike Zimmer and if what he's trying to do is a
00:08little outdated.
00:09Do you think that's part of the case?
00:11No, I don't.
00:14People can look at it that way, but it's not the case at all.
00:18We actually went through this our Super Bowl year in Indianapolis in 2006.
00:23We had a dynamic offense with Peyton Manning.
00:26We're putting up a lot of points.
00:27We built our defense to stop the pass and to protect leads in the fourth quarter.
00:32In the first part of the year, we were ahead most of the time.
00:35We're winning games.
00:36It's not a problem.
00:37We started out 9-0.
00:38But in the second half of the year, the weather got a little colder.
00:42Our offense wasn't as efficient.
00:45We're in tight games.
00:46People are running the ball.
00:47We lost four out of, I think, seven games coming down the stretch.
00:51Our run defense was not very good.
00:53We had some injuries, just like the Cowboys are facing.
00:56We lost Bob Sanders for a time, and we weren't the same, and people were running the ball
01:00on us.
01:01But we got to the playoffs, and we knew what we had to do, and we didn't change the scheme
01:07at all.
01:08So I don't think with Coach Zimmer, it's the scheme.
01:11Sometimes it's just emphasis.
01:14They're going to have to emphasize run defense this week, in my opinion, because I'm the
01:19Pittsburgh Steelers.
01:20With what I have, and I've got a young quarterback, I want to run the ball and see if Dallas can
01:25stop it.
