field game lost maybe seen talk themselves trying won
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.
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.
asking defensive everybody good great keeps line offensive played questions
We just played a pretty good offensive line in Denver. Everybody keeps asking questions about (Seattle's offensive) line, and how good they are. They are a great offensive line. But I like our defensive line.
blitz defense fast good somebody start stay team tough
We try to start fast because we feel that if we get up on somebody we're in good shape, and then we go after them on defense. We try to smother them on defense and stay up on them. A lot of times when you blitz like we do and the team is down, they get to panicking and it's tough for them to come back.
matter winning
The whole thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how we did it.
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.
attention concentration door easier everybody worried
Everybody worried about him and I just snuck in through the back door and got mine. There wasn't a lot of attention on it. That made it easier to get because all the concentration was on him.
anybody played
We haven't really played anybody that played like that.
fight fired gets hear pick says
You know, I can't really say it, what (Porter) says before games. You'll hear anything out of Joey, he'll say anything. He's got to pick a fight to get going, that's just him. He gets fired up. . . . I think that spreads to everybody.
came fun guys inch joke next older pants wears
You can joke with him and tell stories. He's an older guy, so he wears his pants up real high. We were making fun of him one day. He came back the next day and said, 'Hey, what do you guys think?' He had the pants about an inch lower.
last month playing playoffs since
We've been playing like we're in the playoffs since the last month of the season. We had to win.
enjoy few fun kick past relax time
We've been celebrating and having fun the past few days. Now it's time to rest. Kind of kick back and relax and enjoy myself a bit.
house uniforms watch wearing white
We're all going over to Mrs. Bettis' house for dinner. But we're wearing our white uniforms on Sunday, so I'm going to have to watch myself.
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.
