They Said It: week of Feb. 21

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expects his team to be competing for a Super Bowl ring again next season, as quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "We'll be there. We'll be there. … Our intentions have not and will not change. We have a desire to compete for a world championship each and every year. We're going to be unwavering in that pursuit." Tomlin went on to discuss filling former secondary coach Ray Horton's vacant position: "Really, I'm just still in the information-gathering process. I'm in no hurry to be honest with you."
Texans LB DeMeco Ryans, quoted in the Houston Chronicle on the transition to a 3-4 scheme next season: "I don't think it'll be a big issue. There will be a change in terminology. It's a little different, alignment-wise, but football is football." Added Ryans on working with new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips: "I'm excited about working with Wade and the track record he has. He's proved he can take over a defense and get it going on the right track. I'm excited to learn from a coach who's been doing it for over 30 years."
Vikings LB Chad Greenway, explaining that he was not disappointed to learn the Vikings slapped the franchise tag on him Monday, as quoted on TwinCities.com: "I'm happy to know that the Vikings value me enough to make this move. I look forward to this season and playing for coach Frazier, coach Pagac and coach Singletary. It's been a goal of mine since getting drafted to play with the Vikings my whole career. I think we're one step closer to that now. My family and I love living in the Twin Cities and I want to be a part of the Vikings for years to come. I feel like the team has a bright future and I want to be a part of that."
49ers new head coach Jim Harbaugh, quoted on NFL.com regarding the advantage he has in being familiar with many of the college prospects who will attend the NFL Combine this week: "It's helpful in knowing guys, especially their backgrounds, how they're wired. I don't know to what degree it helps, but it's helpful." Added Harbaugh on what he hopes to continue finding out about the young men this week: "I'm looking for how they're wired, competitively, as people. I'm looking to see what they can grasp in terms of your schemes, intellectually. Physically, I want to see how much gas is in their tank and what their energy is like in drills. There's quite a number of things."

Justice may need major knee surgery
Eagles ORT Winston Justice is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday in Alabama to treat a bone chip in his left knee. If the procedure doesn't correct the problem, however, Justice may need a second operation, one that could hold him out of the 2011 season.
Justice hurt his knee in December and will receive treatment from specialist Dr. James Andrews, according to The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal. It is unknown if the surgery will fully repair the damage to the knee and, microfracture surgery may be required. The newspaper reports that the best-case scenario is that Justice will only need arthroscopic surgery for the bone chip, a surgery that has a recovery time of 3-4 weeks.
The injury limited Justice's productivity down the stretch of the season for the Eagles, and the tackle was removed from the team's playoff game vs. the Packers in the fourth quarter after committing three penalties earlier in the game.
The way we see it
Andrews has a history of working wonders on athletes, but even the doctor said he isn't sure how serious Justice's injury is until he's actually looking inside his knee. The major concern for Eagles management is that no matter how long Justice's rehab is, all of it will be done away from the team. If there is a lockout, players will not be allowed to recover at team facilities, and trainers won't be able to oversee the rehab of injured players.
