celebrate couple players ready
I know a couple of times our players were ready to celebrate prematurely.
defensive harder line offensive played time
I think their defensive line played a lot harder than our offensive line did. I don't think (Ben) had a whole lot of time in that game, and at times when he did, he wasn't able to connect.
pleased
They have been pretty solid. I have been very pleased with that ... they are getting nothing but better.
edges great inspirational job leader setting
I thought Joey's (forced) fumble was huge. Joey's just an inspirational leader for us back there. He did a great job of setting the edges (Sunday).
supreme took
For us to come in here and do what we did, it took a supreme effort.
joey proud
That's just Joey being Joey. I'm proud he made it this long.
hammered mentioned sure
I went over it and over it and over it, really hammered on it. When I thought I'd mentioned it enough, I made sure I mentioned it again.
hopefully improve last week
Hopefully we'll improve from last week to this game. It's a big challenge, but I'd like to think we can play better.
finally maybe poetic
Maybe it was poetic justice. We were finally able to get over the hurdle.
added brown cincinnati cusp mike question realize respect team time
I've added way too much to (the rivalry), I know that. But you know what, I have so much respect for what Marvin (Lewis) and Mike Brown have done in Cincinnati and the team they have put together. Without question they are there. They are on the cusp of a championship year. We realize that every time we play them it's a battle, it always has been.
discussion focus gone inspiring opportunity process questions week
I will tell the players, as I've told the coaches, there will be no more questions about it, there will be no more discussion about it, our focus this week will be on the Indianapolis Colts. I don't think it will be a distraction at all and, having gone through the process myself, if anything it's inspiring to know there's an opportunity potentially for you.
earned
I don't look at him as a young quarterback, to be honest. He's been doing this for two seasons. To me, he has earned that trust.
appears ben feels
He appears to be very good, and Ben feels a lot better than he did (Wednesday).
aware course nobody
Nobody was made aware of anything during the course of the game.
