Yeah, there’s nothing we can do about anything except what we do, so I don’t really care about anybody else.

Q: It seems like they use a lot of double ‘A’ gap coverage. How does that put pressure on your offensive line?
BB: Well, that’s what they do. [Kevin] Coyle came from kind of the Cincinnati program, which is what they do. That’s definitely a big part of their defense, particularly in third down or two-minute passing situations. It puts six guys really on five. Your tackles, guards, and center and are against their four defensive linemen and two guys in the ‘A’ gap. You have to determine how you’re going to handle those six players. Sometimes they come, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they line up in there and bring people off the edge, so there’s actually a seventh guy that’s not part of that six. But again, when you line up there it, I don’t want to say it limits, but it makes it harder to get to other spaces on the field than if you weren’t lined up on the line of scrimmage. It puts pressure on one thing, but it also takes them away from something else. It’s like anything else, there’s a give-and-take with it. You definitely have to have a plan to decide how you’re going to treat it and what you’re going to do with it, because they do it quite a bit of it.

Q: Aqib Talib seems like the kind of guy that really thrives on competition and frequently draws the top wideout. Are there things that you see that we don’t that would reinforce that?
BB: I think you hit it on the head. He’s very competitive. Even from preseason practices, whether it was jumping in line to cover DeSean Jackson or Vincent Jackson or whoever it is, he always wants to compete against the best and feels like it brings out the best in him. He’s a great competitor, he’s a good teammate, he works hard. I think he’s ready to meet any challenge that we’ve given him, whether it be in the kicking game, defensively, run responsibilities, coverage responsibilities, whatever it happens to be. If it’s something that will help the team, he wants to do it.
Q: Does he bring a unique energy or personality? It seems like he’s always ‘on’.
BB: He has a very good energy and he’s a good teammate. I think he’s very respected in the locker room but liked in the locker room, which is not always the case. But I think he has a good rapport with everybody: the offensive players, the defensive players, the DBs and the skills players but also the other guys, the linemen. He just has a good way about him. He’s not the class clown, but at the same time, he has a good personality and he’s serious and he’s competitive. He’s got a nice mixture of all those things. I don’t even know what I’m saying, but it kind of goes well in a lot of different settings.
Our team has shown consistently that they’ll keep fighting, no matter what the situation is, that they’ll just keep playing hard. Once we understand what it is that we need to do, whether that’s score, stop them, block a kick, make a kick, whatever that happens to be, we’ll try to do it. That’s all you can ask for.

No question about it,” he said. “Very tough minded and determined group that even though as you said at times the deck has been stacked against us or it’s been things that we’ve had to overcome, they haven’t ever made any excuses or tried to back down from the challenge. They just try to meet it head-on with the best effort they can. Sometimes it’s been good enough, sometimes it hasn’t,” he continued. “The attitude, the ability to go out there and fight and persevere and deal with whatever the circumstances are and not really get too fazed by it, but just try to deal with it, has been very impressive by the entire team this year, especially with some young guys and newer faces on the team.

Norv has run his offense pretty much since he was in Dallas, it doesn’t make it easy to stop. Honestly, I’d rather not see Norv, just because he’s been an experienced guy in the league and he definitely knows what he’s doing. He’s dealt with everything, so whatever opportunities he sees, whatever weaknesses you have, he’s going to recognize them, and he’s got his plays to go in there and expose them, and he’s certainly got the personnel to do it with. Yeah, we know what his basic stuff is, so does everybody else, but that doesn’t keep him from doing it, and it doesn’t make it easy to stop at all. So no, I’m not looking forward to seeing Norv, just like I wasn’t looking forward to seeing Dick LeBeau with the Steelers a few weeks ago.
