i will just post the link since the ravens spent more time at the podium puffing their feathers, than the steelers did after winning the sb (no kidding. 15 ravens players and coaches gave interviews). but here are some notables:
http://news.steelers.com/article/72002/
ben
(On the nine sacks)
"They got after it. I can't get mad at the linemen, they did a good job. They throw so many different things that they had to try and pick up, and it was a tough week for all of us because of the things they do. Not just for me, but for the linemen and everyone else. So a lot of those sacks were probably my fault. You know, not throwing it hot or something."
(On being 4-7)
"I tell you what, you're not going to get any quit out of any of us. Every single player is going to give it their all every time we step on that field, and I don't see that changing now. I know I'm speaking for myself, I'm going to go out and give it my all every play I'm in there, and I know everyone else will too."
S TROY POLAMALU
(On when he was injured)
"A pile fell on me."
(On if they gave him a preliminary prognosis)
"No, not really."
(On if the Steelers' season might be over)
"No, I'm definitely optimistic about it."
:chuckle: i dont know if he was being sarcastic or not.
willie:
"They kept blitzing, they kept blitzing, they kept blitzing. They were blitzing out of formations they weren't supposed to be blitzing out of. They would leave guys free but we were having a hard time with the blitz."
hines:
"We knew we had to play a perfect game today and we did just the opposite. This was maybe our worst game ever. We laid an egg. It almost seemed like they wanted it more than us."
mcfadden:
(On moving forward after the loss)
"You have to stay motivated, every time you go out there in both practice and in the games, it is a chance for you to get better. We can still finish this (season) on a good note and that's the most motivating part about it. If you cannot get yourself motivated to play football, then you are in the wrong sport. We are just going to stay motivated and keep our heads up high."
billick:
it was a good day:blah: ...it's an amazing group of guys:blah: ...these guys are up to it:blah:... This is a hell of a group of guys that are making a name for themselves
:blah:...It was a little greedy on my part to want the shutout:blah: ...They did it beautifully:blah: ... :jerkit:
will someone please never stick a mike in front of trevor prices mellon again?:(On defense pressure)
"They don't do a lot of things a lot of other teams do because they have good lineman and that tells you what they think of their lineman. Jeff Hartings is the best guard in the NFL. He's the only guy I didn't beat today. They have this thing where they say our five are better than your four. Ninety percent of the time its true, but today was the other ten percent.":confused:
(On why he thinks teams who go to the Super Bowl don't perform as well in the following season)
"Everybody who wins the Super Bowl; the next year more than likely seventy-five percent of them have problems. :confused:
(On if QB Ben Roethlisberger looked frustrated)
"No, he didn't. The thing is, when he got hurt all of us were saying, 'Ben get up, get up.' The thing is I have been through that thing before. I have been through a Super Bowl season and the next season we went 6-10. It was a similar situation, we lost our quarterback. Their quarterback (Ben) had all of those problems in the off-season. :confused: WTF???
and finally ray ray:
(On feeling sorry for the defending Super Bowl Champions)
"When you play this game, I don't think it is about feeling sorry about anybody. Like I said, the respect goes to them because of who they are. I will always respect the Pittsburgh Steelers because of Bill Cowher, first and foremost, and their organization. But we try to keep our mentality the way it is over here, and our mentality is bottom line, we are 9-2 right now. For me to think about another locker room, I would be cheating my teammates."
