exceeded field gained gives guy guys stands yard
For every yard that he's gained on the field, this guy, in my mind, has exceeded that off the field ? the kind of guy he is, the way he gives back and what he stands for. I've never been around too many guys like that.
accessible glad guys
I'm just glad that Joey's not accessible to you guys anymore.
consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
disrupt great guys line offense rhythm upbeat
These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. They do a great job. It's an offense that is a rhythm offense, it's an upbeat offense, and we've got to find a way to disrupt it or else we could be in for a long day.

carved group guys niche proud team
These guys were so resilient. We're proud to be the team of the '70s, but we've carved our own little niche with this group right here.
due guys kept respect send thrived
It was 'Just tell us where we're going next, just send us off to another team. I think the guys thrived on that. With all due respect to Heinz Field, we just kept going off (on the road).
dependable good guys talk tough
You talk about guys who are unselfish, who are tough, and he exemplifies that. He's a tough player, a dependable player, and he's a really good player. I like tough players.
focus guys maybe underdogs
Maybe we focus better. Maybe there's a sense of urgency. We've been the underdogs and our guys relished that.
great guys nature reverse smart studies
He's a very smart guy. He understands the game, studies the game. He has a great feel for the game. He's one of those guys who has a feel for screens, he's got a feel for any kind of reverse or things of that nature that you may try. He's always had that. Some guys have it, some guys don't.
against drive guys letting opening plays
Letting them take the opening drive right down against us wasn't very encouraging. We responded. We had some guys make plays ... (but) we just didn't play very well.
football guys player seems stands together tremendous void
I think he's going to be one of those guys where the day comes and he's not there, there's going to be a void there because it seems like he's always been there every week. We've been through a lot together and I have a tremendous appreciation, more than I can express, for what he stands for as a football player but, more so, for what he stands for as a person.
anybody guys move stopped three touch
(The officials) said that we didn't move on offense, but they didn't touch anybody on defense, but we had three guys in our backfield and they stopped the play with no call. That was bizarre.
camp coming guys knee major miss practice says surgery took training year
He never took a day off, either. Those are two guys that are coming off major knee surgery a year ago and to get through a training camp and not miss practice says a lot.
