(Jackson) is always going to be the primary guy, and he deserves that because he makes a lot of plays. I'm just trying to do my part and help us win some games. |
A lot of good kids who I know are rooting for the Steelers. When I get back, I'll have to take them in the back room and have a talk. |
Every one of them has an 84 jersey. They've been confronted a few times around Pittsburgh. My father-in-law almost gets into fights. You know their love for the Steelers runs deep. I do love the fans' spirit. |
Everybody knows what Jack can do when he's healthy. He's done it his whole career. He just doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He made big plays today. Huge plays. |
Everyone knows what Jackson can do when he's healthy. He's done it his whole career. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He had a huge game today. The Redskins try to do so many things defensively, and he took advantage of it. |
He had his ups and downs, but he always handled it extremely well and with class. You could see how much of a competitor that he was. It's good to see him finally getting his due. He's one of the best quarterbacks in this league, if you ask me. |
He's been through the good and bad. |
He's just earned his stripes. It's been a natural maturation process. I came here five years ago and he had just taken over the job, and like any other young starting quarterback, he took his lumps. He had his ups and downs, but he always handled it extremely well and with class. You could see how much of a competitor he was. |
He's just matured; there's no substitute for experience. He's dealt with it extremely well and has bounced back from adverse circumstances. He's the leader of this team. |
He's not a rah-rah guy; but if he needs to get his point across, he'll get in your face and he'll say what he needs to say. He's just poised and has leadership; that's all we need. We just need him to be himself. |
I feel like we can match up against anybody. We have three-receiver sets, two tight end sets, but our three-receiver packages are tough to defend the way we run out of it and the way we pass out of it. I haven't seen them on the field. Obviously, I watched them on TV. |
I haven't had a chance to talk to him, but that's good news. Sometimes change is good. I think he'll make the most of the opportunity. |
I think it's going to be good for the team, ... I put in my time, and I'm always on call. But I think he's a guy who likes to do that, who kind of specializes in doing that, and I think he's going to do well for us. |
I'd rather not get popped. I like to get tackled. But it comes with the territory. The thing that's gratifying is when you get popped and you get a good first down, or you get a touchdown and make the big play to keep the drive moving and keep the team energized. As a receiver, you know you're going to get hit in the NFL. There's no way around it. |
I'm not doing it just to do it. I'm trying to make a difference in those kids' lives. |
