honor half very-happy
It's an honor to be compared with Terry Bradshaw. If I could do half of what he did, I'd be very happy.
sports football smart
I feel that Im not losing the game for our team. Im trying to give us the best opportunity to win the football game. I did everything I could to lose the Jets game but we won. And the Patriots game, I didnt play well. I think that this year, I just come out and play smart football. I got some good advice the other day (from CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf): Every drive that ends in a kick is a good drive.
heart talking fields
In my heart, I know I haven't been the best person, the best quarterback for the Steelers. I'm not talking just on the field, I'm talking off the field.
football winning mvp
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
yelling guy leader
Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.
fire people fuel
When there are doubters, it always fuels the fire a little bit. When people say you can't do something, if you are a competitor, that drives you.
stay
We're going to stay loose. We're going to have our fun.
execute game picture plan together work
We're going to put together our first game plan and, hopefully, come out and execute it, ... The big thing is, we want to work on the little things. If we can put the little things together, the big picture will come together and, hopefully, it will be pretty nice.
coach pound whatever
We're going to go out and pound the ball. Whatever coach has in store.
When we game-plan, I think we'll be lot more dangerous.
role underdogs
We know we're going to be the underdogs and we probably like that role a little more.
ourselves people pick
We still see ourselves as the underdogs. We always have. If people want to pick us, they can.
best coming imagine playing super
When you think about the Super Bowl, you imagine yourself coming and playing your best football, and it wasn't that way.
fun joke
We always joke around. It's business, but it's still fun at the same time.
