But you looked faster in the Rams uniform than you did the Steelers uniform, Bussie.

I was going to say, you looked more powerful, but you looked a little slower.

The offense was designed to be a pounding offense.

It wasn't designed for me to run 40, 50 yards.

I did some of that.

You just didn't see it.

You missed those games.

Were you allowed to ask for the ball in the huddle?

Oh, okay.

Okay, I didn't know if there'd be like a goal line thing.

No, no, no.

What you had to understand was Bill Cowher, he wanted to run the football and play great defense.

And he wasn't about throwing the football all over the place.

So I didn't have to really worry about getting the football.

I knew I was going to get it.

20 30 times uh if i was upright and i was still breathing i was getting the ball so i didn't have i didn't have to worry about hey man i need the ball more now later in my career when they started throwing a little bit more i started kind of looking around like hey guys what are we doing 31 and there was i i'll never forget it i was pissed one time there was a third and one

and we were playing, I think, Jacksonville or somebody.
