believe coaching coming credit knew last special staff team year
I knew that we had a pretty special team coming into this year and I just had to play my part and get better and do better than I did last year. The development has been a big thing. I've come a long way. We've come a long way as a team and I think that is a credit to the coaching staff and the players. We believe in what we do.
against card disrespect everybody good media teams underdog wants
Everybody wants you to play the underdog card or the disrespect card. That's for the media. We don't disrespect them, and they are not favoring us. This is two good teams going against each other.
ball care chance deal problem supposed team turn
I have no problem with that because I want to come out and take care of the things I have to deal with. If you don't turn the ball over and you do the things you're supposed to do, you give your team a better chance of winning.
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?
against team
We know that everybody's against you, and all we have is us. That's what makes this team so strong.
coach early protect purpose smart team
Coach said if you go out there too early and get hurt, it negates the whole purpose of having the surgery. We're going to be smart about it. I'm not going to go out there if I can't protect myself, and put the team in jeopardy.
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 fall fell fit game great helps line lucky offensive running situation team
It really helps to have a (good) team around you. Having a great running game like we have, and the offensive line does a great job, and a great defense -- it just really fit me well. I was lucky to be able to fall into the situation that I fell into.
amazing defense faced team toughest
They're a team that has persevered and done amazing things. It could be the toughest defense we've faced all year.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.
support family-and-friends teammate
My family and friends and teammates, just having their support has been unbelievable.
definitely last motivation played teammates
I was disappointed with how I played last year. That's definitely motivation for me this time. I don't want to let my teammates down.
