Whenever we run the ball that gives us an aggressiveness. It gets those safeties really interested in what's going on up front. If we can (draw) those guys up, our receivers are going to have a field day out there.

What we need is a win. Our team wants to get better each week and a lot of times when you get young guys in there, you can lose focus. That's one thing coach Dungy preaches, staying focused.

He is a big reason why my foundation in the Lord is where it is and why my maturity is where it is.

I think we're a lot better balanced this year: offense, defense, special teams. And knowing that gives us the confidence to go out there and win.

Really, no thoughts. I'm here to enjoy this game. Thank God I was able to play in the Pro Bowl and let some of that anger out.

Marshall was very energetic and explosive. When you blocked for him, he always made you look good and you enjoyed playing for a guy like that.

We've got the energy and the fire back now. Everybody's healthy now. We've got a lot of fresh legs because of our time off. We're excited about getting back out there and playing Colts football.

The reason why we're doing this (resting starters, etc.) is to make the overall team better. But you still want that swagger back. You want that feeling back. I think we can accomplish that with the guys who are going to play, but it's still fun to have the guys you always play with, and get that groove back.

Thank you for all the hard work that you have done, ... I have seen the salary sheets so I know that you guys are not doing it for the money. I truly do appreciate that.

The older guys are trying to get the younger guys to understand you're going to have bad games. But there's always something you can learn from it.

The most important thing for our success is to keep the quarterback clean, because we know what our bread and butter is.

Baltimore is going to be just as hostile and just as sweet. It's always fun to play in different stadiums to get a different feel.

You never can place the loss on one person. In this game, we definitely didn't lose it because of (Manning). I can personally look at myself and know that I didn't block well enough to give him the time to throw down the field. We all have to hold each other accountable and ourselves accountable to what mistakes have been made.

This has been a humbling experience, to lose a game the way we lost it. It just gives us a sense of urgency and a wake-up call.

They did the whole Derrick Thomas tribute and had the airplanes flying over the stadium,

It really hurts when you don't play well and you go out on a bad note.

It puts things in perspective. Football is really just a little piece of life, especially when you're talking about a child. It's rough to practice and stay focused, but Jim Caldwell talked to him (Dungy), and he wants us to do well.

It marked the year for us to really come out and play well as a team. I think it changed . . . how we went out and played games when we went to a hostile environment.

After watching the film, I felt we took a couple of steps backward.

I'm sure there's always going to be gripes about calls, especially when the championship is on the line. I don't fault him at all for being competitive and passionate about winning.

I overcame adversity throughout the year. Even though we didn't meet a lot of our team goals, my peers recognized me as one of the best. It was so rewarding.

Home field doesn't guarantee a win, but it sure makes things a lot more comfortable.

He's like really the engine that runs this team. This team is just prepared for him to come back whenever he feels comfortable and after him and his wife and his family get over the grieving process.

I don't think too many quick, fast, agile guys are making that move. Jerome's one of the special ones, he truly is.
