front good job line mixed offensive phenomenal silent
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.
confidence great job offensive protecting
I have a lot of confidence in my offensive line, ... I think (it) will do a great job of protecting me.
backs battle job knew lead pulled
My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.
great job line
The O (offensive) line did a great job and it made my job a whole lot easier.
confidence football game good guys job knew plan ready regular season today
I had confidence in the guys and I had confidence in myself. I knew that when the regular season got here, and we were ready to go out and game plan and really play football when it mattered, we'd be OK. I think today we showed that we did a pretty good job - especially on offense.
job people
Once again, people said we couldn't win. But we just went in there, did our job and won.
bowl forty good great might shirt size small super
I think an XL shirt might be a little too small for Jerome, but Super Bowl Forty is a good size for him. It's just a great opportunity.
close decide grabbed leg luckily saw turned
I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and couldn't decide which way to go. I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.
compare compared everybody honor obviously people phenomenal player tough trying
People are always trying to compare quarterbacks and that's tough to do because everybody is his own quarterback and own person. Tom's obviously a phenomenal quarterback, player and person, so that's an honor to be compared to him.
crowd people picking
We don't have a crowd with us. We don't have the people picking us, but we have each other. And that's all we need.
goal points score time touched week
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.
knock picked rust sluggish
I think Indianapolis misunderstood me. I wanted to knock the rust off, I didn't want them to. I was sluggish at first, but then we picked it up a little better -- just not as well as we should have.
catch guy red valuable
I think he's going to be a very valuable person, especially when we get in the red zone. You got a guy who's big and strong, he can go up and make a catch when it matters. That's the thing you have to have.
definitely felt game guys last motivates win
It definitely motivates you to play better and not let your guys down, especially guys like Jerome Bettis, who are in this game to win it. You don't want to let him down like I felt I did last year.
