consider fact guys reflective special teammates themselves
In my 14 years, I don't think we've ever had so many guys get votes. As I told the team, it was very reflective of what they thought of their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team. That is pretty special to get that many guys with two or more votes.
biggest caught emotion fact finality games guys kept understand
The biggest thing is not to overreact and to keep responding. Our guys just kept responding. You can't get caught up in the emotion and the finality that these games can bring. The fact this team's been there before, I think, they really understand that mindset.
due guys kept respect send thrived
It was 'Just tell us where we're going next, just send us off to another team. I think the guys thrived on that. With all due respect to Heinz Field, we just kept going off (on the road).
deal demands guys
Not just Jerome , but all of these guys will have to deal with demands on their time. I tell them, 'Getting here is one thing, but don't get out of your routine.
ability athletic growing guys ike learning match played premier putting taken wide
Ike has played well. We started putting him on some of the premier guys (at wide receiver) because of his ability to match up size-wise and athletic ability-wise, and he's taken on the challenge. He's learning and growing tremendously.
accessible glad guys
I'm just glad that Joey's not accessible to you guys anymore.
brought concerned guys high level loss step sustain
I'm very much concerned with the loss of leadership. Not just what they brought on the field, but off it in their own ways. We have other guys who know they have to step up and sustain that high level of play.
good guys hand offense starting
I like to think we are getting better ? and we need to. We are starting to get back. Our quarterback is starting to look like he is in rhythm. In practice, he overthrew some guys and I thought this was good because ... his hand is starting to feel pretty good. We got the offense going.
basics everybody guys
We had to get back to basics and make everybody accountable. We had to look within, and these guys were able to do that.
ben following guys leader leaders question role seven six team
Ben is a leader out there for us, no question about that. We are kind of following his lead. Being leaders on this team isn't just about guys who have six or seven years; it is the role that they have and what they have to do.
bit game guys longer obviously period
We have a 15-minute cooling-off period after the game and we obviously have some guys who could use a little bit longer than that.
certainly choosing couple decision easier guys job last position recognized team tough unselfish
They are all very unselfish guys and that certainly will make my job easier (in choosing who plays). While it's a tough decision to make, they have recognized it, and, that position has epitomized the unselfishness on this team the last couple of years.
anybody guys move officials stopped three touch
The officials said we didn't move on offense. But they didn't touch anybody on defense. But they had three guys in the backfield and they stopped the play with no call. That was bizarre.
