James Farrior Quotes (56 Quotes)


    It was frustrating, the first couple of years. It was hard for me. It was an adjustment, coming from college, being in the big city. It took me awhile to get comfortable.

    We all wanted to do something special for him. We thought it would be a great tribute for him. We'd do anything for him.

    We know them, but they have the same comfort level as they know us. We both know what each other can do it's going to be a hard-fought game.

    Joey got us the jerseys. He's always got some inspiration for us.

    I think we did at times. But at times, we didn't get enough, and he picked us apart. We'll go back and look at the tape and see what we did wrong and try to correct it.


    We're not going to be able to get behind by so many points and then try to fight back and play well after that. We need to start off fast and keep it going. When you fall behind this team, it's going to be tough to come back.

    It's a big difference. A lot of times teams don't know whether he's in the box or out of the box. A lot of times quarterbacks make their checks off of whether the safety's in the box or not. If you don't know where he's at, or how to count him, it's going to confuse the offense.

    Our goal is to try and get our offense a few extra possessions we did that today. It's a dream come true, but it's not over yet we've still got one more game.

    If we do have an opportunity to go into the playoffs, we're going to move that way.

    I'm just a guy from a small town in Virginia who has been playing football since I was 8 years old. I've been dreaming about this for a long time.

    We don't want to show everything right when we get up (to the line). We want to disguise a little bit and not let Peyton have an easy read. That's going to be the key to the whole game, how well we disguise.

    He's one of the guys who is the heart and soul of this team.


    You know that feeling that we had last year was a very bad feeling. And nobody wanted to feel like that this time.

    They throw a lot to open up the run. They do it opposite sometimes. We know Corey Dillon's a great running back, and can hurt you running the ball, but I think Brady's the key. He's the key to that whole offense and you've got to stop him first.

    I guess we had them covered in the back end, because he was running around with the ball, holding it a lot, and it allowed our guys more time to get him. We did a good job in the back end covering. ... We mixed it up a lot. We didn't want to just stay doing one thing. We wanted to try to blitz a little bit, cover a little bit and just keep them off their pace.

    I almost started to cry. The first thing I thought was he was dead. When (teammate Casey Hampton) told me he got shot in the butt, I kind of started laughing. It was a big relief to me.

    Clark had a hell of a day, ... He really played his heart out.

    You knew Coach LeBeau would come up with a masterful plan. We have all the faith in the world in him.

    We wanted to rattle him. He's looked good, but he's a rookie. So we threw a lot of different looks at him and brought a lot of pressure.

    We didn't create enough ball opportunities for our defense. We took that attitude. We knew our offense was having a hard time moving the ball. But we didn't do that.

    Our plan doesn't change at all. They have two great running backs and a good quarterback. So the challenge is even tougher this game.

    They are our ambassadors this week. They are two guys from Detroit. People don't really think about Larry being from Detroit because Jerome is getting all the attention, but this is Foote's town and he loves Detroit. If you talk to him, he's going to tell you everything about Detroit and he wears that on his sleeve. He has a lot of pride and he loves this city.

    You have to play a full 60 minutes to beat a team like that. They're the world champions, and they didn't get that way for nothing.

    I saw him scoop it up and I saw the cavalry with him. I thought that he could get it, because I knew I couldn't.

    He tries to make the defense declare itself before we want to. We just have to do a good job of disguising, to try to confuse him a little bit, but it's going to be hard.

    He had a lot of drops today. I don't know what it was. Maybe Joey got in his head. His game plan all week was to try to get in Stevens' head and I think he might have done that.

    I got to play better than I did there. I got to make those plays. He got yards and I didn't stop them.

    It's due to coach LeBeau. We knew he was going to put in that type of game plan and that we were going to do some things, and all we had to do was execute and believe in what we had going in. We did and we held them to 10 points.

    That's Joey. If you think that was the best of him ... that was nothing. Half the time we laugh at it and think it's pretty funny. It's no big deal. We've still got to go out and play this game. It's the Super Bowl, so we don't need any extra motivation.

    He talked a lot of trash and you never thought he had a brain behind it,

    And we plan to keep getting better, keep making things happen, keep setting the tone for this team, ... But that means we can't look at the success we had last year. We have to focus on doing even more now.

    We love the guy to death. He's a great coach and a great mind. He's done so much for this defense and helped us out tremendously with his wisdom and knowledge. When he puts together a game plan we feel like, if we execute it, we have a great chance to win the game.

    This is the AFC championship -- you don't need a chip on your shoulder for this game. Nobody is going to need any extra motivation or anything like that to get up for this one.

    We got a lot of people in his (Patriots QB Tom Brady's) face and tried to make him make some bad decisions, and he made a couple of bad decisions and we capitalized on them,

    If you got one second left on the clock, you got enough time.

    He never stops. He jams the other team's offensive line on every play, and he clears the way for the rest of us to make plays. Casey is a great player.

    Troy has to be accounted for on every play. He's such a dynamic player and can do so many things that teams really have to know where he is at all times and know what he's doing.

    We've really come together and done some amazing things. We knew there couldn't be any more mistakes. We had to get focused and take each challenge one at a time. Each week it gets better, and this game will be even harder and we'll have to play much better. This is the big show now.

    It's not all real. You have to understand when he's doing dummy calls. We can tell from the film study when he's doing his fake calls. We know how to read that pretty much. But when he's on his calls, we definitely need to disguise what we're doing and sh

    Plummer knows how to keep a play alive. Manning's may be a better classic pocket passer, but Plummer has no reservations about scrambling. He can turn a potential 10-yard loss into a 10-yard gain. We must be aware of that on every down...

    You'd never guess he was that guy on the field, hair flying.

    That's something we've got to improve on. It seemed like we got them in third-and-8s all day, but they kept converting them.

    He always had us in the right places. If he tells us to be in a certain spot, we know it's going to work. His word is God.

    Oh, we know who he is. We definitely pay attention to the highlights. We all watch it on TV.
