Whenever you go into a situation where it could be your last play, there's a sense of desperation. I definitely feel it, and I try to encourage my teammates and lead by example. It doesn't matter how we do it, all that matters is we get it done. |
Willie's a tough, strong guy. He fits the Steelers style. |
With Mr. Rooney, you feel as if you're part of his family. He's just a regular guy who makes you feel really comfortable around him. |
Wow. Incredible. This is a crowd, I tell you what. |
Yeah, who knows? It would have been hard to walk away from a last carry like that. |
You ask us to tell you something, and when we kind of skate around the truth, that's accepted. But when we tell you what we believe to be the truth, I think we've been criticized. So it's a shame that he spoke out on what he believes and he's being criticized. What Stevens said is what he believes. Their job is to make sure it's not a big block party after the game. Our job is to make sure everybody gets a ticket. |
You ask why have the Pittsburgh Steelers been a physical, smash-mouth type of a team for so long. I think it's because the team takes the identity of its head coach. He looks for tough players. He looks for physical players. And he doesn't settle for anything less. |
You assume we're going overtime. I wasn't down. I was getting ready to go. When I saw (the kick) go wide right, it was incredible. |
You can't have any indecision and say I'm on the closer. If you're going to be here, you've got to be ready to do anything. You can't go on thinking, 'I'm only going to have to carry eight times a game. |
You have to look at where he came from, undrafted, unlooked at, nobody really knew who he was. That's a very humbling experience, but I think he appreciates the opportunities he has because he didn't have them in college. |
You play your whole career for this opportunity. It's an ending. It's been an incredible ride. It's better than I ever thought it would be. |
You'd have to assume that he'll stay in the lineup. He gives this offense a big-play dimension in the running game that it has never had. |
You're truly a star after you've been able to do whatever it is that you do for at least three years, |
