Jerome Bettis Understand Quotations

I?m a realist in a sense that I do understand there is a good chance it is my last game.

That's a tough thing when you've got a team that's looking at you as a leader and you're a rookie. You've got to develop that. First of all, you have to understand that's expected of you. How do you understand that if you don't know?

We understand it is going to be deafening and we aren't going to be able to hear. But it helps having played there earlier this season.

Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.

It won't be hard for the sheer fact that I'm 0-3 in these title games. So I understand that it can be as close as 60 minutes or it can be a lifetime away.

Hopefully, I'll get in early and see what happens but, as a role player, you have to understand that the opportunities may be there and may not be there, ... It depends on how it works out.

The first year, you're a fish out of water; you have no idea of the offense. Year two, you know the offense, you're comfortable. Now you can see the confidence come out, so now you see an athlete look like a totally different football player because they've got confidence, they're playing with authority and they understand where they need to be. So it's not so much that they get better in terms of talent, but you can see the talent.
