Russ Grimm Quotations

Next thing I know, I look up and see the back of jersey heading to the end zone. I remember getting up and chasing the play, getting ready to celebrate.

He has a great feel for the players, when to back off, when to push it down and get on the pedal. He always kind of catches you off-guard.

To come back and have the season he has had this year after all that happened to him tells you something about Kendall Simmons. He's been outstanding.

We went the distance. It was longer than I expected, but that's all right. I mean, whatever it takes.

Everyone wants to reach the head coaching level. I thought Detroit was an interesting organization. I think they have enough talent to be able to turn it around in a hurry.

Sometimes the defense dictates what you do. You like to be able to say we're going to run it when we want to run it, but then you stand there and go, this may not be a good time right here. There are certain plays you can call a run, there are certain plays you need to get out of.

They don't take advice from me; I'm too old. They take coaching, that's it.

It's cool to be part of one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history. You don't think about it going into the game or that much in the game. Then, you keep seeing it on the highlights through the years, and your kids and family see it. Then, you point and say, 'See, that's me right there. I was part of that.' That's why you play the game, to be part of plays and games like that.

I know what he likes, how he played the game, how he would like the game coached. But friends are friends, and business is business. Don't hire me just because I'm a friend, hire me because you think I can do the job.

I'll just wait and see what their decision's going to be.

I don't know if it hurts it. I'm not going to complain about it. It's not like I don't have a job. I think things happen for a reason, so we'll just wait and see.

He struggled, but he kept on playing. He's a tough guy; they don't come any tougher than Kendall Simmons.

I'd run over my mother to win the Super Bowl.

These guys have been playing for 25 weeks now. I think they have a good perspective on it.

I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl.

And no matter how good you are you have to work at it. It's non-stop every day, every day. The best the offensive line feels is when the season starts.

The success I had as a player, or the career I had as a player, is often based on the guys you play beside, the guys you play with. Playing on the offensive line, you're only as good as your weakest guy up front. I was blessed to play with a lot of guys for a long time.

There's no greater feeling than moving a man from Point A to Point B, against his will.
