When I first got here, it was like, 'Man, I'm playing with Jerome, The Bus. Just getting the chance to hang out with him, kind of molding me into the person I am, how to deal with everything, how to deal with the notoriety, he brings out the best in everybody. |
When I signed the deal, I wasn't a Pro Bowl player, ... To go to four straight Pro Bowls, you deserve some type of raise. They said, 'Come into camp and we'll continue negotiations,' and that's why I'm here. |
When I was there, it wasn't cool to be a mixed kid. There probably was some hatred there. Some of the kids are treated badly and, sadly, it happens, but it's not the kids' fault. |
When teams play the Cover 2, you're supposed to be able to run against them, ... We couldn't. |
When you get large, lucrative contracts, the expectations are a little greater. The statistics aren't what I'm accustomed to, but what I brought each Sunday was going out and giving it all I've got. |
When you're that No. 1 seed, teams are gunning for you, everybody wants to be that team to knock you off. For us, we get a chance to face the No. 1 team for a second time this year, so let's see what happens. |
With all the road that we traveled to get here, it means nothing if we go out here and lay an egg in this game. If we don't go out and take care of business, then all that had work that we have done, nobody's ever going to remember it. |
Wow, this is amazing. You guys make us go out and play with passion in our hearts each and every Sunday. |
Yeah, I wish he'd have gotten it to me sooner. But I was able to get it and score the touchdown. |
Yeah. But if he catches you he will end your career, trust me. |
Yeah. We really wanted to win our division. Cincinnati came in and did what they had to do. Now, everything's on the line so loser go home. That's how we're approaching it. |
You always know when he's really angry. He says, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore. |
You are based on what you do in the Super Bowl. Those guys had the opportunity to win four Super Bowls, and getting this opportunity is a dream come true for me. |
You don't really realize you're playing with a Hall of Fame running back until it comes to the end. But for all he has done for this organization, the city of Pittsburgh, he epitomizes what the Pittsburgh Steelers are all about, a class act on and off the field. I don't even think he realizes how much of a role model he is. Guys just feed off him as far as how he handles situations, how he approaches each and every Sunday, how he approaches practice each and every day. |
You guys are going to catch him eventually, so he can't run from you. For him, it can be overwhelming, but it's overwhelming for me to look at all you guys. This is what it's all about. |
