Bobby Engram Quotations

We started backed up, and you call plays a little different. You run plays a little different. But that's no excuse. We have to find ways to move the football and come out with the same aggressiveness that we had in the first half. I think we did that. I just think Atlanta came out and they changed up a few things, they did some different things that broke our flow, and they made some plays. Now we have to find a way to respond.

We've spoken about it. He's in a good place right now. The last Super Bowl was under pretty extreme circumstances, but I just hope he's enjoying this.

Making plays. Keeping his poise. All the little intangibles that you talk about. He's really controlling the team offensively right now. They (Washington) tried to do some things to mix us up, but I thought we did a good job of keeping our poise.

I feel like we can match up against anybody. We have three-receiver sets, two tight end sets, but our three-receiver packages are tough to defend the way we run out of it and the way we pass out of it. I haven't seen them on the field. Obviously, I watched them on TV.

He had his ups and downs, but he always handled it extremely well and with class. You could see how much of a competitor that he was. It's good to see him finally getting his due. He's one of the best quarterbacks in this league, if you ask me.

He's just matured; there's no substitute for experience. He's dealt with it extremely well and has bounced back from adverse circumstances. He's the leader of this team.

He's just earned his stripes. It's been a natural maturation process. I came here five years ago and he had just taken over the job, and like any other young starting quarterback, he took his lumps. He had his ups and downs, but he always handled it extremely well and with class. You could see how much of a competitor he was.

(Jackson) is always going to be the primary guy, and he deserves that because he makes a lot of plays. I'm just trying to do my part and help us win some games.

I think it's going to be good for the team, ... I put in my time, and I'm always on call. But I think he's a guy who likes to do that, who kind of specializes in doing that, and I think he's going to do well for us.

Steelers fans are really fanatical, man, they really cheer for their team. You've got to respect that. I think Seattle is getting to that, but they just need a little more time.

It felt good for us for a lot of the time, there was good rhythm. But we just couldn't score any points. We had a lot of momentum killers.

We just didn't execute the way we were used to executing all year long. Give Pittsburgh credit. They played hard. They played well enough to win this football game. I just felt like we made some uncharacteristic mistakes.

We've got to get back to work now. Take our lumps like men.

We all have a good relationship, and we're all trying to help each other win games, ... It's going to come around. Some guys get touchdowns in bunches, some guys get catches in bunches. That's just the way it goes. I could care less, as long as we're winning.

We just try and make plays. The coaches do a good job of mixing it up. A lot of times the coverage dictates it. I think 'Jack' is always going to be the primary guy, he deserves that.

I've been saying all along, it's not Joe. They were playing a lot of young guys during those years they were losing. They didn't have guys who were making plays. Now, they've got great playmakers on offense ... In the Big Ten, that's the key. You have to score points.

It would be special for me to win for a number of reasons. For everybody in this organization, for all of the hard work that we put in through the hurting, the blood and the tears. Multiply that by 10, and that's how much it would mean to me.

It was a little weird (Wednesday) because we're usually the ones that get the crowd noise. But we welcome the change. That means we're playing at home.

This game will be different from our first playoff game; it would be ridiculous to say anything different. But at the same time, you have to find a way to come out and try to make plays in the game.

They say you want to be peaking come playoff team. And outside of the Green Bay game, which was a little different situation, we've been performing at a very high level the last half of the season.

A lot of good kids who I know are rooting for the Steelers. When I get back, I'll have to take them in the back room and have a talk.

It's exciting to be here. I have waited a long time for this, but everybody knows that nobody remembers the loser of this game. This is the pinnacle. It doesn't get any better than this. I'm trying to enjoy this experience.

It was the first time I really got to see him interact with his wife and his daughter. If he picked her up 10 times, he picked her up 100. He kept kissing her, and they had all these code sayings and words. It was good, man. He's a good father and a good man.

It just feels good to get that monkey off of our backs. As a competitor you don't want to hear about how long it's been. You just want to win the game so you really don't have to hear about it anymore.

It's great to get some of that Penn State pride back. I need to call Coach Paterno and congratulate him.

It's tough whenever you get this close and you see so many opportunities just slip through your fingers for a number of reasons. It's a difficult loss, but I'm proud of these guys. Proud of this organization.

Everyone knows what Jackson can do when he's healthy. He's done it his whole career. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He had a huge game today. The Redskins try to do so many things defensively, and he took advantage of it.

Every one of them has an 84 jersey. They've been confronted a few times around Pittsburgh. My father-in-law almost gets into fights. You know their love for the Steelers runs deep. I do love the fans' spirit.

Everybody knows what Jack can do when he's healthy. He's done it his whole career. He just doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He made big plays today. Huge plays.

They've won four Super Bowls, so they tend to have a little bit more of a following. But Seattle fans have been tremendous. They've been great. Funny things start to happen when a team starts to win.

I'm not doing it just to do it. I'm trying to make a difference in those kids' lives.

I haven't had a chance to talk to him, but that's good news. Sometimes change is good. I think he'll make the most of the opportunity.

In the big games, he wants to show up. D-Jack is so consistent in his playmaking ability. ... They thought they could play him one-on-one and you can't do that to this team.

I'd rather not get popped. I like to get tackled. But it comes with the territory. The thing that's gratifying is when you get popped and you get a good first down, or you get a touchdown and make the big play to keep the drive moving and keep the team energized. As a receiver, you know you're going to get hit in the NFL. There's no way around it.

He's not a rah-rah guy; but if he needs to get his point across, he'll get in your face and he'll say what he needs to say. He's just poised and has leadership; that's all we need. We just need him to be himself.
