few locker past room unique
I've never been in a locker room like this one. When I was with the Rams, there was nothing like this. And years I've been here in the past, it hasn't been like this. It's been a unique locker room the past few years.
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.
block everybody gets job party sure
What Stevens said is true; their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket.
earlier helps played understand
We understand it is going to be deafening and we aren't going to be able to hear. But it helps having played there earlier this season.
gives reflect seen
I've never seen anything like that (reaction) before. It gives you something to reflect on and to think about.
call pass seen shy
I've never seen shy about eating. They don't call me 'The Bus' because I pass the plate.
defining moment
It would be a defining moment for him as well.
bowl driving few losing opportunity quite side situation super
I've been on the losing side of quite a few of these. That's what's driving me more than anything, not that the Super Bowl is in Detroit. It's an opportunity for us to do something we haven't done. We've been in this situation before and we lost.
hollywood saying script took turn
The script right now, if you took it to Hollywood they'd turn it down, saying it couldn't happen.
consummate learn people
Duce is a consummate professional. People can learn a lot from him.
family focus game people possible
People say I'm not going to be able to focus because of the distractions but there really aren't any distractions. The possible distraction would be family, but my family comes to every game anyway.
dream living people
People on the freeway honking, people at the hotel, it's been great. I'm living a dream right now.
beat count opponent people respect time worthy
People count them out every time they play a worthy opponent and they find a way to beat them, and you have to respect that.
