-
Chris Quotes
I get tired of hearing about the Bengals' draft picks, ... They talk about picks in the early '90s. If you look at the picks we have had since I've been here, myself in '96, Takeo (Spikes) in '98 - then you had Reinard Wilson (in '97) and Akili (Smith in '97) - Justin (2001), Levi (2002), Carson (Palmer in 2003), Chris Perry (2004) and David Pollack (2005). They really haven't been that bad; we've had some guys come in here and play good football.

Bacon Quotes
With me, coming form the Bengals and offensive lineman, I was automatically compared to Anthony Munoz, ... Any pass rusher, I don't care what team, has the expectation of being the next Bruce Smith, or Coy Bacon here in Cincinnati. People expect high sack totals, but Justin's game is much more than that.

Bones Quotes
Guys have to realize that it took us 15 years to get here. It's not going to be easy for us. They don't start throwing you bones for another five, six, seven years. We've got to come to work, take the shovel, and break up the rocks with the sledgehammer. It's not going to be easy. It's just the hand that we've been dealt.

Biggest Quotes
I think it got too big for all of us. Everyone was saying that was the biggest game the city had seen in 15 years, and the whole momentum, the whole thing, got too big for us. So right now, we're trying to keep a level head, an even keel, not get too low or too high. Not get too excited too soon.

Couple Quotes
Bratkowski has been preaching to us the last couple of years that our will to prepare to win has to be greater than our will to win. That's what the good football teams do. They out-prepare people. We have to get our young guys' football knowledge up. You don't need to run a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash to do it. We've got to play smart football.
-
Across Quotes
The thing I focus on just before the snap is the inside half of the guy across from me. Coaches call it having 'big eyes.' You keep those big eyes focused on his inside number, the number that's right across from you, because that's the part of him that tells you where he's going to go. Whether he's going to make a move outside or try to bull-rush you.
-
Allow Quotes
It means I'm surrounded by a good group of guys that allows me to play at a high level and get showcased and get wins. Anytime you get an individual honor, to me, it always comes back to the guys around you. The guys I'm playing with on the offensive line - Bobbie Williams, Richie Braham, Levi (Jones) and (Eric) Steinbach - those guys allow me to go out and get my talent showcased because they're playing so well as a unit. Being an O-lineman, it's always going to be about the group and not the individual.

Again Quotes
It's still football players putting pads on the same way, guys lining up and putting their hands in the dirt and the big guys - who I call the real men - have got to step up again and play a physical football game. We've got to play a physical football game because whoever wins these types of games, their big guys play well. Point blank.
