football guys player seems stands together tremendous void
I think he's going to be one of those guys where the day comes and he's not there, there's going to be a void there because it seems like he's always been there every week. We've been through a lot together and I have a tremendous appreciation, more than I can express, for what he stands for as a football player but, more so, for what he stands for as a person.
certainly encouraged integral
I think he'll be fine. Certainly he's an integral part of what we want to do. I'm very encouraged by his situation.
answer earned guess handle indeed opportunity rather time
I think he's earned this opportunity if indeed Jerome can't go, ... I'm not concerned, I'm rather excited. Can he handle the load? Has he done it before? I can't answer those questions. I guess time will tell.
game last point time wins
I think he has more wins than I do. He had the last one. The last game was kind of a big game. He was a junior, and I was a senior. We lost, 6-0, on a kickoff return. I was not on the kickoff-coverage team, I do point that out, the only time I was not on the field.
last worn
I think he was worn out by the end of last year.
bottom crossed irrelevant
It crossed my mind, but it's irrelevant at this point. I didn't do it and that's the bottom line.
edges great inspirational job leader setting
I thought Joey's (forced) fumble was huge. Joey's just an inspirational leader for us back there. He did a great job of setting the edges (Sunday).
field game playing road wear white
We'll wear white because we're on the road. We're not playing at Heinz Field and, to me, that makes it a road game and we wear white jerseys for road games.
focused group guys stayed
We have a group of guys who were very focused and stayed together.
couple fill history key lost opportunity players realize
We have a lot of players back; we lost a couple of key players and we'll have to fill those voids. But when you realize what you accomplished and you're part of history and you have an opportunity to do it back to back, it would be an unbelievable feat.
knew loosen
We wanted to loosen it up, ... We knew there would be a lot of eight-in-the-box situations.
ahead best free guys left lose pick work
We've got some work ahead of us, there's no question. You just don't pick up where you left off. It doesn't work that way. We're going to lose some guys in free agency, probably. We'll try our best to keep as many of them around as we can.
coaches guys
We've got some guys who have not been there before, but we have a lot of coaches who have been there before.
aware care mistakes sure taken veterans
We've made sure everyone is aware that to get here is one thing, but don't make any mistakes about what we're here to do. I think the veterans have come in and taken care of that.
