names steps able
You have to be able to step up when your name is called.
games play balls
Usually when we lose a game is because we turn the ball over or not play well enough and usually it is the turnover thing. We have to take care of the ball. It is starts with me and not turning it over.
winning play numbers
The biggest thing isn't necessarily how I play, but that we win. That's my number-one goal. I could be the worst quarterback out there, but if we come out with a victory that's all that matters to me.
building-up fields saws
Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more.
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.
last nature
We want to go there because they got us last time. That's just the nature of the beast.
ball completed exactly field goal inside pass passes range
We did exactly what we wanted to on that drive, ... We used the pass to get inside of the 50 and then completed two more passes to get into field goal range and ran the ball well enough to make (Baltimore) use their timeouts.
blueprint good
There is a pretty good blueprint they had,'' Orton said.
great job line
The O (offensive) line did a great job and it made my job a whole lot easier.
