amount bad best bit compliment great guy leader learn pay remained respect south start strong team tremendous turn until
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Greg g. I think you learn a lot more about a guy when things start going bad than you do when things are going good. The best compliment I can pay Gregg is that when things started to turn south a little bit for us in Buffalo, he was steadfast and strong and remained a great leader for that team right up until they let him go.
ball case envisioned game gone mind past prepare scenario start super
Then to start out 0-2, and to get injured, and then not be able to get back on the field, all of those things. ... But I have to say that I had gone through in my mind and had envisioned this scenario being the case for the past week, because that's what you have to prepare for. But to have that happen, and to be kneeling on the ball at the end of the game and to be going to the Super Bowl, it's just a little overwhelming.
hurting starting
It just kind of starting hurting yesterday, ... One of those things.

He goes, you're starting to act like me. I told him, I'm going to retire if I ever start to act like him.

He's starting to look like the guy we saw at the beginning of the season. I think he's getting back in the mix. As we go forward, you'll see him more involved.

career field games guy numbers played team thrown win yards
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
either far high terry thrown wide
I should've thrown it high enough and far enough wide that either Terry was going to get it or no one was going to get it. I didn't put enough on it, and that was the game.
both easy impressed mentally physically playing rookie setbacks
I've been very impressed with Marion. He went through setbacks both physically and kind of mentally and emotionally. All of the things that go on being a rookie, particularly being a rookie playing for Bill. It's not an easy task.
attack bill continue defense metal odds playing ready smart trying understand
I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go.
receiver
I've never had a big receiver like that,
afraid anyone ball bill chance felt history obviously people pigeonhole plays points run threw trick turned wants
People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.
ball biggest bill brought edge focused life living negative throw
Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.
