I'm just glad I could fulfill the promise I made to him.
accepted field guys lead rather talk trying yelling
I think the guys have kind of accepted that with me and I think I try to go on the field and play that way. I'm not a guy who's going to be yelling or ranting and raving and trying to talk to be a leader. I'd rather lead by example. It's made me feel more comfortable out there on the field.

Because it's cold in Pittsburgh. I learned from my rookie year.

A lot of people said that if we had to throw the ball, we can't win. Myself, the line, the receivers, we kind of took offense to that. We've kind of proven that's not the case.

awesome coach good grow help talk whip
Coach Whip has been awesome with me. He's not a big yeller, a ranting and raving guy, which is good for me. I like to just be able to talk to my coach, and he's been able to help me grow as a quarterback.
glad promise
I'm glad I could keep it. I don't like to make a promise I can't keep.

People need to realize, and I know they won't, that there was 45 mph winds out there, and it was tough, ... A lot of those plays were not (Tommy's) fault. The wind was knocking the balls down. There was no way he should have got the criticism he did.

I think we did a good job; give our offensive line a lot of credit. We did all silent count. We went on two, on three, mixed it up. They did a phenomenal job up front of being disciplined.

I'm getting to live a dream. Not a lot of people get to live this dream. I always wanted to be here, dreamed about it as a kid, but I never thought I would really be here.

Our goal every week is to keep Gardocki off the field. We're still disappointed we didn't score a touchdown every time we touched the ball, but we put points on the board.
