Rob had a really good camp for us a year ago. He came in and challenged Jeff (Reed, the Steelers' kicker). We really liked him. Sometimes it just takes being at the right place at the right time.

We came a long way. This is a special organization and I'm happy for the players, coaches and the city of Pittsburgh.

He gutted it out (Monday) night. He was hurting. He came in and we looked at it at halftime and taped it up. He said before we went out there that I'm going to give it a shot, but if I feel like I am hurting this team I am going to take myself out and I want you to know that. I told him I expect you to do that. Only you know where you are at with it.

He felt good about what took place when he came out. We're hopeful to have him by the opening of the season.

Mike Logan is a good football player, ... He had some injuries in the past but came in here in excellent shape. You could see that in the spring. He was moving a lot better. He did that in the off-season program. Then you say, 'In training camp we'll see how he'll be able to do.'

They wanted Jerome to lead the team out. They wanted him to come out first, so they gave him his time, and then we all came out as a team. Joey Porter thought that was important and he told the team that's what we were going to do.

Everything came back negative -- or positive from our standpoint. There's nothing really there. He'll feel better. We'll see how he feels today and monitor how much he does. He'll be fine by Sunday.

We had an MRI (Thursday) night and everything came back negative. He'll be fine by Sunday. He was feeling pretty good.

If you look at us two years ago, we were 6-10 and probably a lot like Tennessee, where the year before we were in the playoffs. Tennessee is coming off a tough year last year. As I told the team, two years ago they were 12-4 and came up here and whipped our tails pretty good in this stadium.
