It was a great start. |
It's rough, I got some people upset at me. |
It's true. They do have a lot of new guys. But they still have Steve McNair. With Steve McNair, they're always going to have a chance. I mean, he's the kind of quarterback who can dominate a game. |
Jerome Bettis demanded we bring him home. And we did. |
Joey looked good. He's definitely going to play. |
Man, he could he play some ball. I never got to play against him in football, but I watched him play my high school in basketball. He dominated. He led his team to the state championship. You knew back then he had all the talent to be a great one. |
No. No, no, no. Trash-talking is a big part of the game. You need it. At this level, I don't think it gets into people's heads, but it gets you going. |
Oh, yeah, he's been doing it all year. I prefer we win by 100 points, but I'm quite sure this game is not going to be that way. |
On the sports shows this week, people weren't even breaking down our game. They were just going right to the other games, saying Indianapolis was going to beat Pittsburgh. But that doesn't matter. When the whistle blows, all that stuff is out the window. |
One thing with that running back, the way he runs, we definitely have to be disciplined. |
Since I've been here, Joey's always been (trash) talking and he's always been backing up what he says. He talks. He backs it up. That's why we don't mind if he keeps on talking because we know he backs it up on Sundays. |
That might be the biggest play ever in his career. My heart was going to my feet and back up. |
That would have been rough. That was my hero growing up. I grew up in his camps; I always looked up to him. Thank God that Ben and Tuman got him down, and the defense came out and stopped them. |
That's just something we like doing. We're all competitors in here. We do the same in video games, basketball, whatever -- trash talking, it's just part of our environment growing up. It's a new day in sports. |
That's OK. Jerome's a legend. He deserves any attention he gets. I'm just happy to be along for the ride. |
