It doesn't hurt to have good players. If you run a 3-4 with (lousy) players, it's not going to work. Most teams that run it have good players.
It wasn't the talent out there. They protected Peyton all year. It was just Pittsburgh had a good scheme.
It just shows what type of guy he is. He didn't go into the tank. Every running back naturally wants to get the ball all the time. But those guys are real good about the way the carries are distributed. And I think they understand it's team first.
