best fair league paid
I have to get paid what the best safeties in the league get paid; that's only fair to myself.
attention best challenge crowd guys love
We love the challenge of it. It's when we play our best football. Guys are more focused. We can go in there and take the crowd out of it. We like that pressure. It allows us more attention to detail.
cream games last nobody playoff road sixth special three win won year
To win after nobody thought we could - sixth seed, three playoff games on the road - was more special than if we had won last year when we were the cream of the crop.
ability either great limited middle pittsburgh
Pittsburgh was a great place. I was limited to just play in the middle of the field, but I have the ability to play either safety.
conference determine far king trying
Our rivalries are the conference games. But as far as trying to determine who's king of the hill, the Patriots are the king.
ball middle moving offense
I can't say enough about how our offense has been playing. In the middle of the season, we were moving the ball but we weren't scoring. That's all changed, now.
cost couple missed played stop
I don't think we played real well as a defense. We missed a lot of tackles and played over-aggressive. We missed a couple of assignments here and there. We didn't do it consistently enough where it cost us, but we also didn't consistently stop them, either.
best game offense played treat win
We treat every game like we got to win it one way or another. There have been times when the offense bailed us out. There have been times when we didn't play our best and the offense played their best.

We treat every game like we got to win it one way or another, ... There have been times when the offense bailed us out. There have been times when we didn't play our best and the offense played their best.
acts class easily entire field guys hammer makeup maniacs smiles sunday
He's a different guy, but if you look at our team, we have a lot of guys who are class acts off the field but who are maniacs on the field. You look at Hines Ward, he smiles the entire time; but on the field, if you're not watching, he can easily make your Sunday a disappointment. Jerome Bettis is a yes-sir, no-sir guy, but on the field he can hammer you, too. That's just the makeup of our team.
built
He's built like Terrell Owens, but probably a whole lot faster.
felt game games lose opportunity schedule win
He felt like we had our opportunities to win the game and that's the frustrating part about it. You look at the schedule and it doesn't get any easier. You lose the games you had every opportunity to win on the field, you can't get that back.
last
When we went up to Indianapolis the last time, the whole thing was, the Steelers are going to out-physical the Colts.
brown catch chris henry running screens sure throws
We'll see some screens and throws to the running backs. I'm sure Travis Henry and Chris Brown can catch very well.
