execute game picture plan together work
We're going to put together our first game plan and, hopefully, come out and execute it, ... The big thing is, we want to work on the little things. If we can put the little things together, the big picture will come together and, hopefully, it will be pretty nice.
stay
We're going to stay loose. We're going to have our fun.
fire people fuel
When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.
football winning mvp
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
yelling guy leader
Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.
sports football smart
I feel that Im not losing the game for our team. Im trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didnt play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.
honor half very-happy
It's an honor to be compared with Terry Bradshaw. If I could do half of what he did, I'd be very happy.
winning play numbers
The biggest thing isn't necessarily how I play, but that we win. That's my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that's all that matters to me.
building-up fields saws
Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.
support family-and-friends teammate
My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.
names steps able
You have to be able to step up when your name is called.
dad father winning
I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.
leader great-leader
Hines Ward, Plaxico Burress, Jerome Bettis-they are great leaders. I listen to everything they say.
strong people athletic
People don't realize that I'm mobile, athletic and strong-armed.
