Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play. |
Mike says when you get to Detroit everything goes by so fast that you really don't even feel like it's real preparation. |
My first day here, just like my first day at Alabama, I went and got the record books and looked it all up. It was like, 'OK, how hard is it going to be for me to get this thing?' I started setting goals to get them fast. |
My mom told me a long time ago that running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. It just comes with the position. |
My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad. |
No big deal. We figured the Rams were going to score some points anyway. When you think the score's going to be 30-30 at some point, 7-0 is nothing. |
No, I'm one of those people who says if you don't think big and don't dream big, you can't get there. |
Oh yeah. I took all the tests and realized the guy knocked some sense into me. I am actually smarter than I was before. |
Our defense did good enough for us to win, and we didn't help them out at all. Jacksonville did what they wanted to do against us, which is throw us around. They totally controlled the whole game. |
Referees have a hard job. I'm not going to just go out there and bash them. But at the same time, whenever there's a tough situation, you always want your call. If we had got all the calls, then Pittsburgh would be flipped around. That's football. Referees try their best, and that's all you can say. |
Some of it seems like it is going to go fast, then some of it is going to go slow by next Thursday before the game. We are going to enjoy where we are, but we know that our only goal is for (Super Bowl) Sunday. |
That first season is over with. Now we get to start and we get to try to win two games at home to get to go to Detroit and play the best game of our life and that's really all we're focused on now. |
That is what the playoffs are really about. Your defenses really show up. That's why defenses win championships. |
That might help us. The Steelers have played great on the road in the playoffs, but this might be the closest they've had to a home game with all of the support here in Detroit. |
That's really all we're focused on now. |
