Interesting nugget in the press conference

Good reminder of the Tampa-2 (located here).
Key quote:

What happened to the Colts was that teams in the division decided that they weren't going to get into a shoot out with them. They were just going to get big up front and run the ball down their throats. It's the same strategy that has been used against them in the playoffs. The easiest way to beat the Colts is to have Manning sitting on the bench for 12 minutes while you wear down that undersized defense running the ball.

I hate getting run on.

The Bears didn’t. Ballard’s version would have bigger, stronger athletes. Just look at Sheard, Hankins, etc.

Foster. That’s right. I actually liked Foster. He was put in a bad situation but he could penetrate,had some moves. He was fun to watch except when he was getting blown off the line. He was 265 if I remember right so yeah Freeney at his heaviest weighed the most on that DL. So dumb.

I like him also, but he was not large enough to be a part of such a small line. Dude did bring a lot for what he was. Polian just fucking fell in love with smaller faster guys, and that is fine to a degree, but not across the line.
