Trevor Pryce Quotes (23 Quotes)


    Yesterday on my physical, the doctor gave me an X-ray and she said she couldn't find anywhere where I got hurt on my back, so that pretty much answers your question.

    We got to where we wanted to get, we got the first-round bye, we beat up New England pretty good. We can take solace in that, but honestly to do what we did the first week in the playoffs and to play like we did today, it's not pretty.

    I think that's what the difference is. We're going into games knowing that there's not many weak chinks in the armor. And when you believe in the other people out there on the field, it's easier for you to do your job feeling you don't have to make up for anyone else.

    The smart thing was, 'You four guys take the beating and we'll cover the two guys in the route,' ... You don't blitz max protect. . . . It would make no sense. If you keep everybody in to block, you're not going to get there.

    He's Peyton Manning , for God's sake. You're not going to make him look like a high school quarterback in one game.


    Our middle linebacker's an All-Pro and he had (90) tackles. That shows you what kind of team we have. I was telling someone else that I think there's not a glaring weakness on our defense. Before, if a corner had 150 tackles, obviously he was picked on. We don't have that. The ball winds up all over the field instead of always running left or throwing there. That has made everyone even as far as statistics go.

    You get tired of being bullied like I feel we get bullied at times, ... Indianapolis bullies us. Baltimore bullies us. And I don't like bullies. That's where the drive is. . . . I just don't know how else we get past that except for saying, 'Look, we're going to go out there and forget about doing the best we can, we have to win.'

    In the playoffs, there's such a thin needle between the teams, but that thin needle can become a machete very quickly when you're playing a lopsided crowd, lopsided game, lopsided place when everything's so out of favor, ... In the regular season, there's things in your favor - you're playing for a playoff spot, they might not be - there's things you can work with, something to grab onto. The playoffs you have nothing.

    I just knew, and everyone knows what I am and what I can do, ... It was more like, am I going to ever get healthy again Healthy doesn't just mean not having pain. It's, are my legs going to be able to function the way they did before Can I play without putting tape all over my body Slowly but surely, I've gotten back to that.

    I do think over the last four or five years, this is the best group I've been with. The thing is the team speed.

    You know you're not going to beat a team like the Philadelphia Eagles, 35-0. It's just not in the cards. But we ended up with the win, so who really cares

    Just so fast. And Gus is a good quarterback, I don't care what anybody says. He had that thing down.

    And, like I said, at one point, this organization had made me its highest-paid defender. I know what they think about me.

    The thing that's always impressive about Mike is he's always been someone who says, 'We're in this together. He makes it pretty clear that if he's part of the problem, he's going to be part of the solution, too.

    That's a hard play, a two-point conversion, you have to have God on your side. We had Gold in Gold we trust. That was a great play because that kid was open.

    It was a big relief, because, again, Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL. I think he's better than Peyton Manning. He finds a way to do some things -- he stands there and takes hits unlike any quarterback I've ever seen. He was standing there and I'm running dead at him and he sees me out of the corner of his eye, and he does not care he would take that shot.

    I think we proved we can play with the best of them. That was the best offense in the NFL, make no doubt about it.

    Their offensive line got really tired, ... They started grabbing folks and weren't moving their feet. They played a lot, and when you play a lot on offense and don't move the ball a lot, that gets a team's spirit. There wasn't too much to it really. Run straight and hope something good happens.


    Champ Bailey won the game. Let's call it like it is. It shows how one play can make such a big difference.


    They are more alike than you think. I think Jake would like to be on the cover of 'GQ' himself with that hair. Actually Jake was in GQ. Nobody knows that. I was reading GQ, and it was something about his beard. It was like him, Tom Brady and David Carr, and they were saying something like the caveman look works for them. So I think they are more alike than they think they are.

    The next time I see him at the Pro Bowl, I'd hit him at breakfast,
