On why is the Steelers' run defense so good: "They're so good for a lot of reasons. I think one they don't really…they don't do a whole lot from a run standpoint--in other words, what they do they do it really well. They're big strong physical guys. I think the thing you know…Casey Hampton in the middle I think is a handful. He's as good as any of the big noses in this league. And then I really think that the four linebackers drive the thing. So, I mean they got four really solid linebackers, all of them different strengths and…but all good run players nonetheless. And then you know the safety is a guy that is very much involved. You know (Troy) Polamalu gets down in there and they don't keep him too far from the ball usually and he's a guy that can…that's fits in there pretty good. So, they do a good job with their gap defense (with) their integrity of the gaps those types of things and they play really good 2-gap football."

Mike Tomlin says the same things about the Dolphins.
