    6-foot-5, 241-pound quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who already has won two Super Bowls at 27. "There?s more pressure on the line ... We lost a Hall of Fame-type player in Brian Urlacher, but there?s pressure on our defensive line just by the opponent we?re playing. We can?t allow the quarterback to pump the ball, to hold the ball. We have to make him get it out when he?s supposed to. It?s hard guarding guys forever. That in itself is a big enough challenge for us." Backup defensive end Mark Anderson amped up the pass rush last week by moving inside to tackle in passing situations, and he knows the best chance for the defense to overcome Urlacher?s loss is by getting more production from the line.

  1. If he pumps a couple times, you can?t put that on the secondary to cover for six to seven seconds ... That?s when the guys come open and he hits them.

  2. The D-line just has to make sure that things don?t go haywire ... We?ve got to play our game, make life easy for (Urlacher?s replacement) Hunter (Hillenmeyer), and the rest of the linebackers and the DBs. This week it?s definitely going to be on the D-line.

  3. When you lose a guy like Brian, it?s kind of unbelievable because you use him as a crutch ... He?s the kind of guy that you know is always going to be there for you, and be there for the team. He has a calming effect. When things go wrong, he?s the guy that brings everybody together.

  4. We definitely have to get pressure ... In order for a quarterback to hold the ball and go to his second and third receivers, you don?t have pressure. (Roethlisberger) does like to make plays right up until (the last second). He does it as well as anybody. It will be a big challenge for our guys.

  5. We have to apply the pressure. We have to be the ones to take control of the game and help out the secondary and free the linebackers up so they can go make plays. From here on out it?s going to be really important that we get pressure on the quarterback and stop the run, too.
