game running strength
The running game is the strength of our offense,
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
felt game halftime knows took watched
Everyone that watched the game and knows how I play could tell there was something on my knee, ... I didn't feel as mobile. We took it off at halftime and taped it and it felt a lot better. If I can go without a brace, I'm going to do it.
game last lose role time underdogs
We know that if we lose another game it's our last game of the year. We don't want that to end any time soon. We know that we're the underdogs and we probably like that role a little more.
against game week
We don't think about that. We take it one game at a time. Every week we have a one-game season. This week we are 0-0 going against New England.
football game nervous
I was probably more nervous before this game than any professional football game I've ever played.
brought entire exciting game line offensive running willie
Willie has done so much for this team. The new and exciting running game that he has brought has really been awesome. Otherwise, I'd give it to our entire offensive line if I could.
definitely felt game guys last motivates win
It definitely motivates you to play better and not let your guys down, especially guys like Jerome Bettis, who are in this game to win it. You don't want to let him down like I felt I did last year.
again game help offense offensive passing run strength
Obviously, the strength of our offense again is going to be our offensive line, ... I think that will help in our run game and in the passing game.
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.
chance except firing game guys knew locker win
No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.
advice best cbs dan drive ends football game good jets kick lose losing opportunity smart trying win
I feel that I'm not losing the game for our team. I'm 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 didn't 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.
beat football game gets good team
This team is an unbelievable football team. They're as good as it gets in the NFL. It's going to take our A-plus game to go out and beat their B-minus game.
definitely field game knock question quick team
You can never simulate the game, the game speed, in practice, especially a team like Indianapolis on their Field Turf. So I think it will be a challenge, I definitely think there will be some rust. The question is, how quick can I knock it off?
