    View quote in context »
    Bettis played for the Steelers from 1996-2005 and is the second-leading rusher in franchise history. "I don’t think they’ve reached a panic situation yet because the Titans don’t allow anyone to run the football on them ... But there are serious problems. Willie Parker: I haven’t seen much from him.

I believe, particularly in September football, people make a commitment to stopping the run and it’s easier to make the commitment when everybody feels good and you’ve got all the horses in the stable ... I think over the course of a long haul, you see who’s good at it week in and week out. It’s usually...

  3. I’m not going to allow it to be an excuse. We have to execute and play winning football, and we’re capable of that. We understand what we face schematically this week and how they play, but at the same time understanding and being able to function against it are two different things.
