guys injury rehab technology total tough
It's not that simple. It's tough. It's total reconstruction of the knee. It's a tough injury. But, with today's technology and the way they have rehab set up, it's the kind of injury guys can come back from and be just as strong.
matter winning
The whole thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how we did it.
blitz causes coming kindness main problems
They have problems because we come at you from so many different kind of ways, they don't know where the blitz is coming from. I think that's the main thing that causes problems (for the offense).
bad chance gives good looking noticed throw trying
I noticed that when he's going down, he's still looking for receivers. He's always trying to throw the ball; that can be a good and bad thing. When he's trying to make plays, that gives us a chance to make a play too.
bowl game good people super trying win
It's pretty wild, all the people around. It's a good thing, though. We're here at the Super Bowl trying to win a big game and people want to know about us.
bowl forget matter ready stuff super
All that is overrated. You play, and it doesn't matter if you've been here. You forget all about the Super Bowl stuff when you get out there on the field. You've got to be ready to go no matter if you've been here or not. Then, you've got to go.
field game lost maybe seen talk themselves trying won
I ain't never seen a game won or lost off the field. We know what we can do and they know what we can do. Maybe they're just trying to talk themselves into it.
attention concentration door easier everybody worried
Everybody worried about him and I just snuck in through the back door and got mine. There wasn't a lot of attention on it. That made it easier to get because all the concentration was on him.
blitz defense fast good somebody start stay team tough
We try to start fast because we feel that if we get up on somebody we're in good shape, and then we go after them on defense. We try to smother them on defense and stay up on them. A lot of times when you blitz like we do and the team is down, they get to panicking and it's tough for them to come back.
fight fired gets hear pick says
You know, I can't really say it, what (Porter) says before games. You'll hear anything out of Joey, he'll say anything. He's got to pick a fight to get going, that's just him. He gets fired up. . . . I think that spreads to everybody.
enjoy few fun kick past relax time
We've been celebrating and having fun the past few days. Now it's time to rest. Kind of kick back and relax and enjoy myself a bit.
last month playing playoffs since
We've been playing like we're in the playoffs since the last month of the season. We had to win.
house uniforms watch wearing white
We're all going over to Mrs. Bettis' house for dinner. But we're wearing our white uniforms on Sunday, so I'm going to have to watch myself.
playing super
We're playing in the Super Bowl, so how can we have a letdown? I can't see how that can happen.
