I found it amazing that a Ravens coach was quoting Chuck Noll, and the team seemed mesmerized by how simple and profound Noll's messages were.
Harbaugh stated that Noll talked about fundamentals and if you don't do the basic things well, the rest doesn't matter. You can't play well if you can't do the simple football things well.
I thought it was awesome, and I wondered if Tomlin ever embraces Noll's coaching style and addresses the team like that to share the thoughts of another great Steelers coach?
