We're going to the Super Bowl to win it, not to just be there.
definitive players
We're going to have a lot of flexibility with some of the things we're doing, and the players have been very receptive. It's more definitive than things we've done in the past. The onus is being put back on the players to execute, and I think they like that.

The extra day won't have any effect on it. We're going to have to weather the flurry that will be involved with the emotions, the speed of the game and playing a high-quality football team.
brings deal football great happier hard inspiring knows last national work
Jerome is a great guy. The way he played, the way he was off the field, he brings so much professionalism to our team. I can't be happier for him. He's what's right about the National Football League. He's a very inspiring individual. He knows how to deal with people. He makes you want to work as hard as you can to succeed. If it was his last game, what a great way to go out.
benefit case dealt fatigue great knows rectify year
I don't think it's a case where he has to rectify any one area. It's just recognition and being patient. I think that's the thing. He probably dealt with fatigue as the year went on, but I think now he knows what to expect. He went through it once and I think that will be great benefit to him.

It has been a help from the standpoint of knowing how to prepare for these types of games, being in important games and dealing with adversity. I think it is important to appreciate where you are and know where you came from.
ability course deal good happen job plays respond teams trying weather within
In any big game, a lot of it comes down to an ability to weather storms, to be able to respond to situations. We did a good job down there but we didn't do a very good job up here. It comes down to making plays and trying to be opportunistic and deal with circumstances that happen within the course of a game. With these two teams it's going to come down to execution.
affects asked believe circumstance close deal good players quality step teams truly win
Good teams win close games. Good teams have quality depth, and when players are asked to step in, there's not a drop-off, ... It's not the circumstance that affects you. It's how you deal with it. I truly believe that.

That last win at Indy probably helped us more than anything else because it allowed us to prepare for the noise we had to deal with on the road in the playoffs.
aware believed certainly deal effect focus hope prepare san talk whatsoever worst
The focus is on winning. There will be no talk whatsoever about any other scenario. We're well aware of what the deal is with San Diego. But that certainly will have no effect with us, because I've always believed you prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Not just Jerome , but all of these guys will have to deal with demands on their time. I tell them, 'Getting here is one thing, but don't get out of your routine.
dealing good last plan time
I don't know if we had a better plan (in dealing with the noise), I just don't think we had a very good plan the last time we were here.
