Understandable, given his tremendous success in the past against the Steelers...let's see.
In 2004, and had one tackle.
Had 8 tackles, 2 of them sacks against us in 03 when we sucked
Had 7 tackles against us in 02
Had 8 tackles against us in 01
So in 8 games he's had 24 tackles, 2 of them sacks, so he averages 3 tackles and .25 sacks a game against the Steelers. And this is what he has to say about it...

Warren gives another heads-upBy Lee Rasizer, Rocky Mountain News

ENGLEWOOD - It's "Big Money" and "Big Ben" - again. Denver Broncos defensive tackle Gerard Warren and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will reacquaint themselves Sunday in the AFC Championship Game, 14 months after Warren made controversial comments while he was with the Cleveland Browns.
Warren said he would attempt to "go across the head" of Roethlisberger.
"Kill the head and the body's dead," Warren said, prompting a warning from the league against effectively following through on the sentiment.
Warren didn't back off the mind-set Monday.
"That will always be my motto," he said.
But the first-year Broncos player said that now, as in November 2004 when he made the comments, the intent of his words wasn't some kind of bounty - "That I was going to take a shot at his head," he said - but instead a broader take on the role of the defense.
"Basically, I look at the team as a body and the quarterback as the head," he said. "If you can rattle the head, then the body doesn't function as well, so if you kill the head, the body's dead. You frustrate the quarterback and keep him uneasy. It's pretty much like we did this past week with (New England Patriots quarterback) Tom Brady. I don't think the team is so successful."
