choose everybody great hole pick run thinking vision
Everybody is just thinking that he's the big guy, he's The Bus, and he's going to run you down. He's got a great vision from the field, too. He can pick and choose where the hole is.
analyzing game hype people talk
I think in a game of that magnitude, there's going to be hype after it, and many people analyzing things. It's something to talk about. That's it. I don't think it's overshadowed what we've done.
finding leader offense opened rookie
You can't really become a leader if you're still finding things out, which every rookie is. We've opened the offense up and I think that's a big part of him getting more comfortable.
blocking bunch coming quit stop
They don't take a play off, they're high-motor guys. You can't stop blocking them, because they don't quit coming at you. It's just a talented, hard-working bunch of guys. You see the numbers, 50 sacks, that's pretty telling.
ben force league longer playing pressure run time
He's playing like he has been in the league a lot longer than two years. The Broncos were going to force it, the way they blitz, the way they come, and we weren't always going to be able to run it all the time like we do. The pressure was on Ben to make some big passes, and he did.

Teams are aware of his speed. They might have to hold the corner longer than if Jerome was in there.
dealing definitely feels game helped hype last looks season
Last year, dealing with the championship game and the 15-1 season and all the hype and everything that went with it has definitely helped him deal with what's going on now. He feels and looks like a six- or seven-year guy.
great means miss send
I'm going to miss him. The Steelers are going to miss him. To send him off like this means the world to me. He's a great person.

The job isn't done. It's 60 minutes of football left to play.
catch coin detroit happened toss
They don't catch everything but it is a surprise. They reset the clock, it slipped and it happened to be for a lot of time. What are you going to do? It's like the coin toss in Detroit on Thanksgiving, what are you going to do?
expect maybe open people run thinking trying
People don't really expect that from us. They know we're trying to get the run going. Maybe they're thinking that a little too much. We're able to open up a little bit.
anybody bombarded deal endless fortunate goes prepared seems super teams ton
This can get to anybody if you let it, because it seems to be endless and you get bombarded from all sides. But it goes with the territory, and if you are one of the two teams fortunate enough to make it to the Super Bowl, you had better be prepared to deal with a ton of distractions.
definitely good light shed
Any light shed on it is definitely going to be good light.
