It seems like I've been chasing Joey all of my career. We have a little competition with it. I'm not done yet.

It's OK, it just bothered me the entire time,
bend break plays
It was bend but don't break tonight. We made the plays when we had to and that's why we won.
ball came edge emotional everybody front game home job passed ran resolve settled
Everybody came up with the resolve -- no more of this. We come out here in front of our home crowd, it's the first game of the season, and they just ran the ball and passed the ball down our throats. They executed way better than us. Once we got that emotional edge off, just being over-amped for the game, we settled down. We did our job and did what he had to do.
crowd hard played plays seem silence stepped whenever
Whenever they would seem to be getting any momentum, we stepped up and would silence the crowd and silence them. We just played hard and made plays when we had to.
basically doctor expected faster healed last latter people practice released spoke surgery trying
I healed up well. They say some people heal faster than expected sometimes. I spoke with the doctor in Philadelphia who did the surgery and he said, 'Do what you can.' He basically released me to go and practice and do what I can out on the field, as long as I'm pain-free. And it's been pain-free this whole week, and the latter part of last week. So, I'm just trying to heal up and get better every day, day in and day out.

I don't know if this is my time,

I didn't even know (about it). That's not our focus. Our focus is just to get better and be around in the playoffs.

We came here to play football. We came here for the Super Bowl. We're happy to get out of the league media stuff, put it aside and get back out on the field and play some football.
adds continue elevates everybody expect expects fires fuel guy joey level means porter presence
Joey Porter means a lot to our defense. He's a guy that fires everybody up. His presence out there adds fuel to our flames. Just him being out there elevates the whole level of our defense. That's something that's going to continue on. We expect it from him, and he expects it from himself.

He's got three rings. There's nothing else you can say.

He just made some passes and they got some yardage, ... They executed better. But it's the third week of the season. We'll correct our mistakes.

We've knocked down seven of the eight. We just have one more to go.
