good james jets knew run smart understand
I really can't understand how the Jets let him go like that. We knew how good James was. He's a smart guy, can run fast. I mean, what else do you want?
gave highly joking matter messing people players prize shows teammates
It's kind of funny. I was joking with Hines about that. I told him it's the consolation prize for us. We didn't think it was rigged, that they just gave it to us. I was just messing with him. It just shows you what kind of players we have on this team. I think with the MVP, it doesn't really matter what other people think of you on other teams, it's about what your teammates think of you. Obviously, our teammates think very highly of us.
matter winning
The whole thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how we did it.
This is the place I want to be.
confident everybody job
It's not going to take some super-human effort. Obviously, everybody has to do their job. I'm confident in our defense, and, if we play the way we can, we can get the job done. We don't have to have one person do something extraordinary.
talk
They can talk about that all they want, but they still haven't really done anything.
blitz causes coming kindness main problems
They have problems because we come at you from so many different kind of ways, they don't know where the blitz is coming from. I think that's the main thing that causes problems (for the offense).
guys injury rehab technology total tough
It's not that simple. It's tough. It's total reconstruction of the knee. It's a tough injury. But, with today's technology and the way they have rehab set up, it's the kind of injury guys can come back from and be just as strong.
bowl game good people super trying win
It's pretty wild, all the people around. It's a good thing, though. We're here at the Super Bowl trying to win a big game and people want to know about us.
body hit leg playing until
A lot of times you can end up playing on one leg and hopping around out there until you get confident. You can always tell yourself it's good, but your body doesn't let you go full-tilt at first. You've got to get hit on it or you've got to get used to being out there again.
focus guys helping impact time
I've been able to just focus on helping our guys make plays. I want to make an impact every time I'm out there.
came taking
It just wasn't us out there. We came out flat. Everything we did in this game, we did to ourselves. I'm not taking anything away from Detroit, but we made a lot of mistakes.
hard helping main seeing team
It's hard seeing your team out there, especially when your team is doing good. You want to be out there helping them. That's the main thing. You want to play so bad, you feel you let them down.
bowl forget matter ready stuff super
All that is overrated. You play, and it doesn't matter if you've been here. You forget all about the Super Bowl stuff when you get out there on the field. You've got to be ready to go no matter if you've been here or not. Then, you've got to go.
