Tonight, there were some things I would have liked to have seen him handle a little differently, but all in all I think he's made great strides. There were a couple of formation things and a couple of audible checks. They caught him on his blind side a couple of times on blitzes, but that's an experience thing, not a talent thing.

I think the game against the Cowboys helped us. I think their styles of play and what they ask their players to do is quite different. Dallas has a very fine defense, but their 3-4 is different than the Steelers' 3-4. They don't zone-blitz quite as much. They crowd you a lot on the edge with their corners. Pittsburgh doesn't do that quite so much. There are some differences. As far as your count system and how you are going to protect against a 3-4, that preparation has helped.

In Green Bay it was quite different than the situation in Seattle because they had a wonderful tradition.
