We're very different football players. We play different positions. The defense calls us to do different things as well.
Everything's been such a whirlwind since the AFC (Championship Game). Everything's great -- just coming straight from the Super Bowl to the Pro Bowl and getting the congratulations from all of these other great players who have had great careers and great seasons, obviously. It's a blessing, that's for sure.
Yeah. It's all about what we do, ... I really believe it's all about what we do, and we've got to force them into situations they don't like to be into.
Well, we know what to expect, but it is a very different situation than earlier in the season. We both have playoff experience and they are very tough at home. It will be very tough for us.
It doesn't matter because they came here and beat us. I think it evens the tables.
It doesn't matter what I think. I know I caught it, fell, rolled over and obviously knocked it out with my knee.
It doesn't matter how I feel. It's not my job to make those calls. I really felt I had the ball, but I'm grateful for how the game turned out.
I think he may have been (confused) a little, ... He could never get comfortable in there because we gave him so many looks.
I thought it was a challenge, and I appreciated it. I enjoy studying how to play our defense.
I was supposed to blitz, but I slowed down a little bit. I think, if I would have kept on coming, I would have forced a bad throw.
Moss makes everybody look bad. (Harrison) runs around out there like a third or fourth-year player. By all means he doesn't look old, that's for sure.
Maybe they're being nice to us after all the penalties we've had called against us.
To me, he is the MVP of that team. He's a very accurate thrower. He feels very confident with their offense. His scrambling ability gives their offense another avenue as well. He's been playing great, and I think that's why they've been successful. They can't click without him.
It's not just me. It's everybody. That's the great thing about our team. We all played our parts and our role. No big stars.
