board joey listen plays
That's Joey being Joey. It's fun. I want to listen too. He can give them all the 'bulletin board material' he wants. It's going to come down to who makes the plays on Sunday.
both boxing coming dance fighters fought match teams
That's kind of the interesting thing. This is going to be a boxing match between two fighters who've never fought each other. Will they dance around a while to feel each other out? Or will it be a slugfest with both teams coming out swinging?
absolutely awesome family teammates win
It was absolutely awesome to come up here and win one for Jerome. To win for the Rooney family and for our teammates and all our fans.
defense fun mistakes played playing watching
Our defense is all over the place, and it's so much fun watching them play. Offensively, we haven't played mistake-free football, but we've been playing well and we're going to have to keep doing that if we want to go to where we want to go.
football knock smart talking wood
I don't have any wood to knock on here, ... Now, you can't be talking about those things. We're going to go out and try to play smart football and, hopefully, keep the ball out of their hands.

I'd like to go out and play. You don't want to sit there and be rusty for the next week. I'd like to get out there and get some snaps for however long that coach thinks is necessary.

My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.
chance fine gave last nobody week
Nobody gave us a chance last week and that's fine with us.
bring defense few guys hard identify move people plays similar
No one plays a similar defense to what we play. I think our guys move around so much it's hard to identify who people are. I think with (the Texans), they kind of show you what they have and then they'll bring a few things off of it.
beard bit depression ended game kept lose lost mad next people shave until winning won
I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.
Oh, wow. That's tough. I'd probably have to go with Willie.
bit translate understand
I'm a lot more comfortable. I understand what's going on a little bit more and hopefully, it will translate into better football.

I make sure if I have a bad play or make a mistake to stay away from him.

I have a lot of confidence in my offensive line, ... I think (it) will do a great job of protecting me.
