Knowing that they think that much of me makes it extra special. It's kind of a consolation prize for me.

I ain't never seen a game won or lost off the field. We know what we can do and they know what we can do. Maybe they're just trying to talk themselves into it.

He likes to pick a fight. But in so doing he gets us fired up, too. He says things a lot of guys are thinking, but just don't say.

That might be a good strategy for a video game. But you don't question him. He's a great coach. From the standpoint of me being me, I'd feel we would stop them and block the field goal.

I play nose tackle, so I don't get the stats and things like that. I felt like I played at a level that I should have went, but it doesn't surprise me that I didn't get voted in.

I followed in his footsteps, ... To be a nose tackle and play in this defense, you couldn't want anything else. I'm built for this type of defense and it's fun for me to play.

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).
bad chance gives good looking noticed throw trying
I noticed that when he's going down, he's still looking for receivers. He's always trying to throw the ball; that can be a good and bad thing. When he's trying to make plays, that gives us a chance to make a play too.

cry crying pittsburgh remember sit stuff super thinking won worried
I'm not even worried about that, man. That's kind of crazy, to sit there and cry about the officiating and stuff like that. It is what it is. We got the championship, and two years from now, no one will even be thinking about what they're crying about. They'll just remember that Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl.

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?
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.
