coming comment continue great handling job kid might possible pressure scenario tough
He's a big kid at heart. When the pressure is there, when times are tough and you need to make a big play, he might make a comment where he loosens everyone up and get things going. He's done a great job of handling everything. This year, he's been in every scenario possible - coming from behind, doing the two-minute drill, he was in a shootout. He's experienced all that and he's going to continue to grow.

coming exciting houston improvement job playing sit tremendous win
To sit there and do that, and for us to say there's still improvement that we need to make, that's the exciting part of it. Coming on the road, playing here in Houston with the heat, we went out there and did a tremendous job to do what we had to do to win the game.
ben coming easier guys last lee matter played veteran year
It was easier for Ben last year (as a rookie) because we had veterans, guys like myself, 'Plex' (Plaxico Burress) and Antwaan, ... This year, myself and Antwaan are really the only veteran guys. Cedrick is coming in from a new system, and Lee hasn't played much. But I'm not too concerned. It's just a matter of us getting on the same page.
coming game mark miss passing point question reason sit super
We're here without him. We never made it to this point with him. So, I don't think that we miss him. That was a big question mark coming into this year: What could we do in the passing game? Well, consequently, our passing game is the reason why we're here in the Super Bowl. So, I can't sit there and say that we miss him.
coming field page playing quarter rhythm
We're in a rhythm now. I'm playing full-time now - we're not coming off the field after one quarter or one half. ... Ben's getting on the same page as everybody, and now everybody's playing full-time.
coming course everybody itself kept passing presented today
Of course you want to get more opportunities. Today it presented itself to get more opportunities in the passing game. Everybody capitalized on it. Antwaan made some big plays, Cedrick made some big plays. We kept converting and coming up with touchdowns.
coming kept
I just kept coming back to the ball.
career count game looked man
We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit.
fell focus game guys short
We fell one game short (last year). A lot of guys are focused, real hungry. Things didnt go particularly the way we wanted in the preseason, but you dont game-plan in the preseason. Our whole focus now is Tennessee.

beat book cincinnati fairy needs somebody tale truly
It would truly be a fairy tale story, to go on road, beat Cincinnati and come in and beat Indianapolis, then to get Jerome back to where it all started for him in Detroit. Somebody needs to write a book about that. It would make a lot of money.
ben practice run third threw
It was third and long and we were scrambling around. We practice on the scrambling drill. Ben threw it kind of short; I had to run back.
