No, I'm one of those people who says if you don't think big and don't dream big, you can't get there.
I don't live my life trying to prove anything. I set high goals for myself. I set high goals for my team, and as a group, we just try to achieve them. Contracts are contracts. They're just part of the business that's after football, but it has nothing to do with what we do on the field.
I think that would be wise. I think that's what they'll do, but I think our offense is built on taking whatever they give us. It would be wise for them to do that, but at the same time, we're not worried about what anybody does.
The scoring title and touchdowns, I do like that; that's pretty cool. But the rushing title, I've never really felt one way or the other.
Mike says when you get to Detroit everything goes by so fast that you really don't even feel like it's real preparation.
I made a couple of phone calls and spread the word -- the first 15 family members that call me for tickets get to go. The tickets weren't around too long.
I'm not used to losing. It's always hard to lose. It's disappointing. You have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss the plays that often without somebody making you.
They said it was time to come home and I knew what that meant.
They said they had never seen anyone out for 20 minutes on the sidelines and then all of a sudden I just knew everything that was going on.
I've been blessed to have Walt and Hutch. They go out there and they love beating up on people. It's a great situation.
It's just a fact of life that once you get one, there is a chance you will get another.
At the same time you still have that gut-wrenching feeling that one more catch, one more run, one more tackle, and we'd be known as world champions.
Do we think we should get a little more credit? Yeah. But we understand with one more win, we'll get a lot of credit.
They've always been up front about when this year's over, we'll take care of it.
