It's a legitimate question, ... As the second half unfolded, unfortunately we did not have Jerome in the game. I wish I would have gotten him in. He was not in the game in the last series of overtime because he had not been in the game in the second half. That's a decision that I am responsible for. |
It's a loose group of guys. They know when to turn it on and off. That's the way it's been all year. |
It's a luxury most teams don't have. |
It's all speed; that's the one thing you see in Willie Parker. Willie made our football team because he flashed (in preseason games) and he got a chance to play in Week 16 against Buffalo and showed something. We had rested some linemen and he ran against a defense that that was near the top of the National Football League. He got over 100 yards and broke a run. |

It's almost surreal right now. This is a special group of coaches and a special group of players. All year long they were resilient. |
It's almost surreal right now. We've got a special organization, and it starts at the top. I couldn't be more happy for Mr. Rooney, for the coaches, for the players and for the city of Pittsburgh. |

It's an opportunity that you want to share with a lot of people and the logistics of doing that can be overwhelming at times with all of the requests. At the same time, you can't overlook what we're going there to do. Obviously, it can be very overwhelming to do in just one week's time. People have done it, I don't envy that. |
It's become more of a production. It's a big production. It was big back then. I don't know, it's a big to-do. But they still have to play a football game when it's kicked off. At that point, we've got to be ready to play football. |
It's been a good system for us. We've been able to build some depth. It's nice to have a third or fourth guy who can go through a year, watch and then be able to step in when a guy goes down or leaves. |
It's been a long time. Mr. Rooney, this is yours, man. |
It's been an inspiration to our team, no question. We talked about it. The fact that we're able to play this last game in Detroit, we're getting him back there. Now what we have to do is make sure this is a positive. That's the message now and the driving force for that team, really. |
It's big. We all know the days back when there were 12 rounds. We know there are a lot of good football players out there, and they're not all here. |
It's case by case, |
