People are just now starting to notice Troy as a game-changer. From a standpoint of making plays, he's carried Pittsburgh to where they are today. He's got a unique style all his own, and I'm a fan of his hair. I like that flair he plays with. |
People will always want to have homes. |
Simeon was very emotional stepping in that huddle. |
That could have been [the turning point]. Offensively, we definitely got on a roll that day. |
The big-play element is still there. Daunte made a lot of big plays not throwing to Randy. |
The ironic thing is that was the talk before we won the Super Bowl ... that this defense is not what it used to be. We stepped up and showed people they were wrong. The same little mumblings are starting to rumble now, and we're going to step up and show the world again. |
The style in which we won says a lot. The previous two games were blowouts, so the question was, 'Could we win a tough one?' Yeah, we can get in a fight, walk away with a few bruises and come away with a win. |
Their running game has obviously picked up the last couple weeks. They're running strong right now and playing well on defense too. If you can run the ball and get turnovers you're tough and that's what they've been doing the fourth quarter of the season. |
They get beat up so much. I think these guys stepped up and played well with basically two rookies starting. These guys kept pounding and pounding. |
They realize that we have a game-breaker back there not only in Cadillac but in (Michael) Pittman and they only need one crease and they could turn it into a touchdown, |
This is probably one of the toughest years for me in terms of making it, because I can name five or six guys who I know should have made it, [who] had deserving years to be in the Pro Bowl. All I can do is just thankfully continue playing at the level they're playing at. |
This was about helping the team and putting us in the position to keep a lot of our players here that we currently have and, at the same time, give us something to go get a player that we felt could help us win a Super Bowl. That's the way it's always been when I've done this, a two-way street. |
To me, that's Hall of Fame, ... To know you had an impact on one person in this world. For them to give you so much credit when you hear young people tell you what you mean to their lives. That changed me as a person. Being around those kids at that young age helped me mature as a man. It kept me from all other distractions that could've knocked me off the path. They were saving me as much as I was saving them. |
Twice we've played him and he's hurt us for big runs. |
Usually, we have something bet on it. We usually have got to wear the other university's colors for about a week if your team loses. |
