I'd be a liar to say that what happened in the past doesn't mean anything. It does. But it's a new season. Everybody's playing at ground zero now. |
I'd like to take my hat off to the offense, they kept us in the game. We can do a lot better, and we're going to do a lot better. |
I'm not bitter at all. I'm not upset with the Patriots. I've been to Pro Bowls. I've won Super Bowls. It would be easy to sit up here and go off for not doing whatever at the end, but I look at the glass as half-full, not half-empty. I got to build my name in a great community and play with a lot of great players and coaches. |
It?s not going to get any easier. Pittsburgh?s going to be sitting there waiting for us ready to play and they?re a very good team in a hostile environment. Unless we go out there and prove otherwise, we?re just what we were against Carolina. |
It's a great accomplishment. We're not downplaying it, but they are not passing out any trophies tonight. We've got a long way to go. |
It's not ever just one guy, but Richard definitely makes a big difference. He's unstoppable if you try to block him one-on-one. |
Let's win this game first before we start doing all the comparisons. That's all that matters to us at this point. |
No matter what's happening, what type of receivers come in that could be more talented than him, his work ethic and high level of playing -- big plays, making plays, and being clutch -- keeps him grounded here. It keeps him stable. Makes it hard not to like a guy like that. |
Nobody cares about what happened during the season. It's all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what we do now. If we don't do what we're supposed to, we go home. And I don't think that's the goal of anyone in this locker room. |
One of our soldiers went down. Our hearts skipped a beat, but we had to keep playing. The thing he wanted us to do was to keep playing. You can't fold the tent. And that's what we did. It was tough, with (Matt Light) too. But you just keep playing. We've been through the injury thing before with a lot of key guys out. Other guys just come in and have to do the job. |
Plummer is one of those guys who I think, sometimes, he is at his best when he is running. When he is on the move, he can throw the ball really well running to his left or his right. He is one of those guys who is not good running to just one side. He can do it both ways. He is one of the most accurate quarterbacks at throwing on the move in the league. |
Sometimes you go against guys who are bigger than you or over-mass your size, but it really doesn't matter. It is just how you play the game. We are not preparing for size. We are preparing for what they do. |
That's Donovan. We're not talking about Donovan, we're talking about Tom. I didn't know how severe it was, but I knew it was bothering him. But you have guys who play with all type of injuries across the league and on our team. |
The advantage Troy has is he can read a lot of those routes because he is a receiver. He understands what receivers are trying to do and he knows all the little tricks, so he has a little advantage over the corners as far as that goes. |
The type of character we have around here, guys don't quit. Guys play hard and they look forward to challenges like that. |
