Joey Porter started the smack talking yesterday by saying that the Colts are not as physical as the Steelers, and they do not want to get into a "smash mouth" game with us.
"They don't want to play smashmouth football," Porter said. "They want to trick you. They want to do the hurry-up offense. They want to try to catch you substituting. They don't want to just call a play, get up there (and) run a play. They want to make you think."
"I don't think they out-hit us," he said. "If they would have out-hit us, they would have just lined up and not done all those audibles every play. If you want to out-hit us, line up and play football. Line up, you got your people, we got our eight men in the box, run the ball.
"Don't try to run the ball when we're in the 3-2 Sub ("Dime") package. That's not out-hitting us; that's trying to out-think us. Now you're trying to play the guessing game."
Edgerrin James ran for 124 yards Nov. 28, ending the Steelers' streak of 22 games not allowing a 100-yard rusher. He carried 29 times and did not have a carry longer than 10 yards. But Porter even scoffed at that accomplishment.
"I still think it was a cheap 100."
