We knew he was going to make some plays. You could tell some stuff was bothering him, but he was playing just like he was 100 percent.

My guy beat me to the inside. It was at a time when we had no room for error, and I can’t do that.

Garbage. Bad call. I don’t know if it was two weeks off or whatever. This week we were clicking, too. It just didn’t go our way.

Everybody says he should buy us something, but I don’t care about that. If he gets the record and (rushing title), that would be a big accomplishment for him. And any accomplishment for him is...

At all times you have to be ready. You can’t skip a beat. At anytime during the game I have to be ready to back up (Walter Jones) or (Womack).

He talks about it all the time. That’s his job. He’s supposed to talk about it. But we, as grown men, should know what we are supposed to do, the rights and wrongs.

They were loading the box and they were determined to stop him from getting his yards. It’s huge. We secured it.

That’s what we talk about. When guys get in, nothing should change. We went right down the field, just like Matt and Shaun and everybody else was in there.

He brings a lot to the table. He’s big, strong; he can move. It’s the NFC Championship. Not unless it’s something severe where he couldn’t walk or something, I’m sure he can play.

It would be easy to say I didn’t think about it, but I did. But once you start playing football, you just forget about everything and concentrate on what’s at hand.

You don’t expect to have your name called. Usually when your name is called, it’s not really any good — allowing a sack or missing an assignment, or something like that,

These are experiences that we all go through. You have to deal with them and put it behind you.

You watch film, you try and see what they do,

It’s a bad situation, bad timing, bad everything. I couldn’t believe it. Still can’t. But things happen.

The biggest thing is knowing the plays. I know all the plays. It’s not like we’re going to change up anything just because we’ve got a different player in there.

It’s very frustrating. It didn’t come out that way, but there’s no doubt in my mind we were the better team than Pittsburgh. The defense played great. They gave us good field position and we...

It’s different, but you have to think back to what you’re practicing.

I think they had a better game plan and they executed it better. It was just a bad day.

It was weird. You really have to think about each thing you’re doing.

He’s got a quick first step that allows him to get to the passer, … On every play you’ve got to see where your guy is and stay on him.
