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.
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.
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).
gave highly joking matter messing people players prize shows teammates
It's kind of funny. I was joking with Hines about that. I told him it's the consolation prize for us. We didn't think it was rigged, that they just gave it to us. I was just messing with him. It just shows you what kind of players we have on this team. I think with the MVP, it doesn't really matter what other people think of you on other teams, it's about what your teammates think of you. Obviously, our teammates think very highly of us.
block coach field good great might question standpoint stop strategy video
That might be a good strategy for a video game. But you don't question him. He's a great coach. From the standpoint of me being me, I'd feel we would stop them and block the field goal.
talk
They can talk about that all they want, but they still haven't really done anything.
feeling
(The injury) is still in the back of my mind, but I'm feeling really comfortable out there, ... get into their heads.
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.
against ball game nickel played ran
We played a lot of nickel in that game and they ran the ball very well against our nickel defense. That's what they do ? they get you out of what you're used to doing.
came taking
It just wasn't us out there. We came out flat. Everything we did in this game, we did to ourselves. I'm not taking anything away from Detroit, but we made a lot of mistakes.
hard helping main seeing team
It's hard seeing your team out there, especially when your team is doing good. You want to be out there helping them. That's the main thing. You want to play so bad, you feel you let them down.
cry crying pittsburgh remember sit stuff super thinking won worried
I'm not even worried about that, man. That's kind of crazy, to sit there and cry about the officiating and stuff like that. It is what it is. We got the championship, and two years from now, no one will even be thinking about what they're crying about. They'll just remember that Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl.
confident everybody job
It's not going to take some super-human effort. Obviously, everybody has to do their job. I'm confident in our defense, and, if we play the way we can, we can get the job done. We don't have to have one person do something extraordinary.
came fun guys inch joke next older pants wears
You can joke with him and tell stories. He's an older guy, so he wears his pants up real high. We were making fun of him one day. He came back the next day and said, 'Hey, what do you guys think?' He had the pants about an inch lower.
