We're going to have a tough test, definitely. It's our next game -- it's just as important as (the) game against the Texans. But it's going to be our toughest test to date, for sure.
I know where I'm supposed to be at the time of the snap. Now, wherever the play dictates where I'm going to go is a different story. Sometimes I'll compromise my responsibility because I overcompensated, and sometimes I'll get cut short and just fall in the middle of the play, as well.
It was a really slow-paced game. You have to be really on your keys. All it takes is one play to separate and score.
They moved the ball, you know what I mean,
It's a shame that Coach LeBeau is not in the (Pro Football) Hall of Fame, the way he revolutionized football with the zone blitz.
A demon, in a way, is a test of your faith. Because if you're doing God's work, there's no reason for any demon to do anything to you.
I always try to sacrifice my body for the team.
I've never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There's so many things that goes into making plays. It's about teammates trusting one another and working together.
There's so much that I like about Pittsburgh, actually. The cultural district and museums are wonderful, and I encourage everyone to check them out. And the food is excellent, too!
The barefoot component of my training is about strengthening the toes.
We're a road team. We're the Pittsburgh Steelers. We have fans everywhere.
When I cook, it's something nobody else would enjoy.
Probably the label 'Jesus freak' is fine with me. Because I know who I am.
America needs football. It's a real blue-collar sport; it's played with a blue-collar mentality, a mentality that's the backbone of this country.
