I think they can count on me. And I want them to be able to count on me.

You never know when (something like this) may happen again.

I read it right, I just didn't throw it good.

Coming into this year, I felt a little more comfortable. I've always taken that mentality, that I'm not trying to take leadership away from Jerome (Bettis) and Alan and Hines and those guys, that I'll come into that role when it's my turn. I think slowly it kind of has been passed on to me. Not that I'm the leader over those guys, but equal to them, or close to equal. And I think that's the role of a quarterback.

I think the guys have kind of accepted that with me and I think I try to go on the field and play that way. I'm not a guy who's going to be yelling or ranting and raving and trying to talk to be a leader. I'd rather lead by example. It's made me feel more comfortable out there on the field.

They are an opportunistic team. They make a lot of plays, they always seem to be around the ball. The ball bounces their way a lot, and that is a credit to them.
