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.

That doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just focused on trying to win the game.
buy coming cut great move saw time trying
I was trying to buy as much time as I could on third-and-long. I saw Hines make a move and cut it to the right side. He made a great play coming back for it.
group harley highway miles people ride riding sports trying
I don't ride a sport bike. If I'm riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that's probably pretty stupid. But when you're riding a Harley or a chopper, and you're riding with a group of people and you're not on the highway and you're cruising, you're relaxing.
advice best cbs dan drive ends football game good jets kick lose losing opportunity smart trying win
I feel that I'm not losing the game for our team. I'm 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 didn't 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.

Dan told me he made it to the Super Bowl in his second year in the league, and then never got back. He said to enjoy it and make the most of it, and that's what I am trying to do.
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.
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.
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.
