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.

continue defense integral overseeing palmer pieces puzzle question rivalry trust
Carson Palmer will be back, I don't think there is any question to that, but there are a lot more pieces to that puzzle and not just Carson. He's an integral part of it, trust me, but they've got a lot of pieces around him and with Marvin overseeing that defense they're going to continue to get better. It's going to a big-time rivalry for years to come.
answered doubt early hitting north parker pile questions run season willie
I think, if you look at him early in the season to where you see him now, there is no question. The one thing you see, when he makes a decision, he is going north and south; you see him hitting the pile and going forward. I know there were questions as to can Willie Parker run inside.

comfort control design intended level offense plays question understanding year
I think you'll find in any second-year player, his comfort level is much greater. There's no question he's more comfortable with our offense and understanding the plays and the design of the plays and where they're intended to go. Consequently, he's much more in control of the huddle than he was a year ago.
answered hitting north pile questions run willie
One thing you see now is when Willie makes a decision, he's going north and south. You see him hitting the pile and going forward. I know one of the questions was, 'Can Willie run inside?' and I think he's answered a lot of that.

adjustment approach bit both face game goes planning second sides sure time
The first time you face someone, you are not sure how they are going to approach you on both sides of the ball. I think the second time through, you have a better sense of what they are about. So there is a little bit of adjustment that goes into the game planning on both sides of the ball.

I'm prepared to latch on to his coattails and ride him for a long time.
defined journey mean people telling
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.
