I'm glad the world got to see that. |
I'm not taking anything away from the Steelers' defense, but hopefully now people will be talking about both of our defenses. Nobody talks about us, so we have to go out and prove it every week. |
I've just been waiting for all this to get settled. I didn't understand what was going on in depth until I looked at it closely. It's all business, you know? |
In years past, that's what has hurt us: our defense. We pretty much had all new faces on defense (in 2005), so you never knew how things would turn out. But we've done pretty well. |
It's amazing. I'm still in shock. It's just unbelievable. |
It's like night and day when you compare this team to last year's team, and Chuck's a big part of that. He's changed this whole defense around, just that one guy. |
It's still a little hard to believe we're going. I just want to enjoy this for a bit. I'm sure it will sink in soon enough. |
Man, it's really unbelievable. I can't even believe it now that it's here. It feels good. |
Sometimes, when rookies come in, the vets don't want to take you under their wings because you could be the guy who takes their job. But one thing about Johnny, he's a big Texas guy, and I'm from Texas. So he liked me, and he wanted to help me and he just showed me the way. |
That's just one way to show how much we've come together. It wasn't always like that in past seasons. It was obvious the offense always jelled really well. But defensively, we were never really on the same page. |
That's probably a side of him you wouldn't see. |
They are a different offensive without (Vick) in the game, ... You can get after the quarterback. We said, 'Let's turn the heat up on this guy.' |
Usually, guards are either really good run blocking or pass blocking. He does both so well. It's kind of hard to get after him because he's such a tremendous athlete. |
We do have a great offense, but we also have a great defense. Nobody talks about us. But respect is earned, not given, so today we just had to go out and prove it. |
We led the league in sacks but you don't hear too much about it. If we win the big game the whole world will know about it. |
