believe believes himself
I think he handles himself the way he should on and off the field. We believe in him, just as he believes in us.
football knows larry might needs true
Larry knows how to find the football. He might not make a lot of big plays, but that's not what he's called upon to do. He just doesn't make mistakes. He's always where he needs to be. He's a true linebacker.
converted stuff
I think I've converted a lot of Washingtonians to Pittsburghers. (But) there will be some Seahawks stuff (on the walls). It's not just Steelers.
against anyone attitude bottom course double far feet football goes good hands harder last marvel mechanics nobody playing practice reason room rope second stays steps stretch team three touch wants watch weight works
Marvel is the reason why I'm still playing football. Bottom line. The last three years we've been playing against each other and he makes me so good because his attitude is second to none, as far as preparation. There's nobody on the team that works harder than Marvel Smith. There isn't. You go in the weight room every day after practice and he's in there. He's getting better. His mechanics are superb, man. He stays square; his hands are great; his feet are good. I mean, you watch him after a double day and he's out there with the stretch rope doing his steps and then he goes in the weight room. He won't let anyone outwork him or outplay him. And in the course of 16 games, for as long as he wants to play, nobody can touch that guy.
contending five four point super
We've contended four out of five years for the Super Bowl. You get to a point where contending just isn't enough.
early ticked worried
We were not worried but more ticked off. We are better than what we did early in the game. But we responded, I thought pretty good.
change lost people remember super three win
You know what will change that? Win the Super Bowl. That would change everything. All that people remember is, we've lost three AFC Championship Games.
everybody football games good life played thinks
When I first got to Cincinnati, I was not a good football player. I played 12 games in my whole life before I got to Cincinnati. I started 36 games in Cincinnati. Everybody thinks I was there just as a scrub.
game job outcome
We're been doing it for 20 weeks. It doesn't change. Sometimes the outcome of a game is different, but our job doesn't change.
control create hit job nobody running tackle
I don't think you can control that. Your job is to tackle the quarterback, hit the quarterback, hit the running back. Big hits. You have to create momentum, create an edge, and that is part of the game, it will always be part of the game. But you never want to see nobody get injured. Ever.
hitting kept simple
We just kept hitting the quarterback. It was as simple as that.
ball cannot compare everybody great left run team
You cannot compare this team with any other. They will run the ball left or right, you don't know where it's coming, and then they've got great players. They do something different than everybody else, and they do it very well.
bear both football gets sides smart
We had our opportunities. We didn't play smart football on both sides of the ball. (These are) things we can fix, though. We can get a lot better. I know we're fine. Sometimes you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you.
defend heads
What they do is legal. As long as they get their heads out in front, it's up to us to defend it. It's part of the game. It has been for a long time.
