believe football good kick prepare seattle
Don't believe that. Seattle has got a good football team. If we don't prepare and we don't get ready, they are going to kick our butts.
difficult fourth guys late painful possible start tackle time trust
Even when it's warm, they don't want to see me, trust me. I try to make it as difficult as possible for those guys and as painful as possible every time they tackle me. So late in the game, in the fourth quarter, that's when you start getting those big runs, because they don't want to come up and tackle you.
gotta
That's something you gotta live with. It is what it is.
bring earned feeling gave greatest happy hold trophy waiting won
That's the greatest feeling in the world, to hold that Lombardi Trophy, not because someone gave it to you, but because you earned it you won it. It's a feeling I've been waiting for for 13 years and I'm just happy I got to hoist that trophy and bring it back to Pittsburgh.
amazing earned feeling gave glad greatest hold opportunity somebody trophy waiting won
That's the greatest feeling in the world, to actually have an opportunity to hold that Lombardi Trophy, and not hold it because somebody gave it to you. You hold that trophy because you earned it and you won it. That's the most amazing feeling in the world. It's a feeling I've been waiting for 13 years and I'm just glad I was able to come back and hoist that trophy and take it back to Pittsburgh.
bit care drag gone last process year
It's disappointing in a sense that the organization said last year they're going to take care of him, and it wasn't resolved. I think they could have gone through this process a little bit earlier. They didn't have to drag it this far.
everybody team
It's disappointing for us. We know we're a better team than that. But everybody is 0-0 now. We did everything we had to do to get in. Now we're in, and let's see what happens.
It's better than I ever thought it would be.
great hand situation
It was a great play by the linebacker. He put his hand on the football, and that is one thing that you can never let happen, especially in a situation like this.
ball fun good healthy people plus pound sideline stay toward
It's working that way, and, hopefully, if I can stay healthy toward the end of the year, it's a big plus for us, ... That's the fun part, to be able to go out there and still contribute. To be on the sideline all those weeks, it was frustrating, so it was good to go back out there and pound the ball and show people it was still there.
Everyone in this organization wanted to get this one for you all.
everybody locker role special
Everybody is unselfish. Everyone understands they have a role. If their role is expanded, that's great. If it's reduced, that's understood. I think that what is so special about this locker room. There are no 'Me and I' guys. It's all about the team.
beat believe everybody felt guys locker room supposed
Everybody is supposed to beat us. We really jelled and felt that we could get it done. Only the guys in the locker room believe that, and that was enough.
career course personally team worth
It makes it all worthwhile. It makes everything we had to go through as a team and everything I had to go through personally during the course of my career all worth it.
