bowl super win
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.
effect extra football game involved playing speed weather
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.
appreciate came dealing games help knowing prepare standpoint types
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.

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.
becoming certainly coaches dream flattering head help problem stand
I've never had a problem with that. It's flattering to be wanted, and certainly I would never stand in the way of any of our coaches if they have a dream of becoming a head coach. If I can help them in any way I would certainly do so and will do so.

There's a lot of people telling you that you can't do it but, you know what, that doesn't mean you don't go try. Don't let your journey be defined by history, let your journey make history.
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.
throw
You can take away the run, if you want to, but then if you do that, Peyton will throw for 300 or 400 yards.
anymore effort good great heck hopefully individual super trying
He's a heck of an athlete. He really is a very good athlete. He was just trying to make a play, and he made a play. It was a great individual effort on his part. It was a great tackle. It was a super play on his part. Hopefully he won't have to do anymore of that.
feed plan
I don't know how they plan to feed us -- in shifts, maybe.
