Antwaan Randle Quotations

When we called it, my eyes lit up and I had to try to not give it away.

We ran that play before. We ran that play against Cleveland and scored a touchdown then. It was called at the right time, and everything was perfect.

We're happy about being in the playoffs. That was the most important thing. The biggest thing today was just getting in and looking forward to next week.

Last year, they took away the run and we ran anyway. We ran it and ran it. It had a lot to do with Ben growing. Well, he's grown up now.

No comparison. We're not going to compare, ... It's not needed. I'm not big on the comparisons.

No, they aren't. My mom and dad are the same way I am because they taught me. They told me that it is something that you have to pray about because you don't know what place is for you. Any other questions that come out about free-agent stuff, we are going to have to leave alone because this is more so about the team right now, and that is the focus.

I don't know why he would say anything. He hasn't experienced Joey Porter yet, that's for sure. Fifty-five is the real deal.

I feel good about our team. We have a team that can go out and win it all. It's just a matter of us going out there and executing. We have a great chance.

He had a chance to experience some success as a very young quarterback in this league, and then he had to experience what it was like to get so close to the Super Bowl, and then lose. But he showed a lot of maturity and smarts by not letting that eat at him. I think he came back this year with his confidence through the roof, and we've seen the results.

He's doing something right. What's this now, his 10th playoffs in 14 years? And two Super Bowls. That's Joe Gibbs-type stuff.

I take the blame for that. It was a poor decision by me. I should have taken the gain and been done with it. I think the pitch was too hard for Hines to handle. I should have just held on to the ball.

It is amazing, especially to have done it all on the road. It means a lot to our fans and to us too, obviously. I know the fans here are going crazy. It must be really crazy at home. Right now, we are going to enjoy it for a couple of days and jump back in it on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Some guys can do it, and some guys can't do it. You certainly can't force it on them, and you can't teach it. If they've got it, they can do it. If not, then they can't.

My voice mails are crazy. I'm not even going to check that out right now.

I was hoping they'd call the play and they called it. It was satisfying.

I was hoping the coaches would call the play, and they called it. It's been wonderful. It's been a great day, a great game and a great finish.

I was hoping the coaches would call that play and they called it. It was magical the way it happened.

We had it all set up. It was a matter of getting the call. My eyes lit up when they sent the play in. I didn't want to give it away.

Yeah, they're hard-hitting. The biggest thing is they get their shots on quarterbacks. They bring everybody, and whoever's out there covers. That's the way they do it and they've been successful.

We needed to get our guy back. The younger guys need him because he helps them a lot, critiques their play, and the young guys have been missing out on that. It's good to have him back.

We made eye contract, ... If I could do it again, I think I would have kept it and tried to go in and score.

We are dealing with a veteran group. They are aggressive, and they do get turnovers all the time. They study film pretty well and are on top of their game each time out.

When they called it tonight, my eyes lit up, and I had to try not to give it away. Ben made a great block on the backside, and I had Hines running free. I knew it was going to be a score.

We come from a family that is very competitive. I could go right now and wrestle with my mom and dad.

Those two guys epitomize Steelers football. They're great on the field, but even greater off of it. They make you want to elevate your game because of the way they approach things.

You have to get away from the numbers and take advantage of the opportunities you have.

We hit that one earlier in the season for a touchdown and we had it set up for this game. I knew it was going to be a score.

Ben made a great block to free me. I was anxious, but I calmed myself and made a great throw.

There was a guy who asked me how I thought the weather would affect the game. We're going to be in a dome.

It was a bonehead play. The team rule is: If you're going to try that play, you'd better make it.

It was a bonehead play, ... The team rule is, if you're going to try that play, you'd better make it.

So that's what I did. I cut everything. From that point on, I had it set in my heart that that's what I was going to do. This was the best avenue, the best platform for me.

It's as good as last year's top three, no doubt, especially when it comes down to the speed and shiftiness, ... Our thing is, get the ball in our hands.

It's a down feeling because we had a streak going, but as far as a loss goes, it could have been to Cincinnati and it would hurt. A loss is a loss. We played our hearts out and made some mistakes. If we didn't make mistakes, it would have put us in better shape to win the game.

I tried to convince him I was going deep, ... Then I put my foot in the ground and came back to get the ball.

It's not necessarily out of nowhere. We practice it sometimes. I just didn't get the right connection on that. I blame myself because I probably should have held on to it and I probably would have scored. It was a mistake and mistakes will kill you against the Patriots.

That's something we've been doing for a long time. We hit that one earlier in the season for a touchdown, and we had it set up for this game. When we called it, my eyes lit up and I had to try to not give it away.

It?s amazing, especially to have done it all on the road.

It's amazing to have done it on the road. Amazing.

It's real satisfying, especially with the way it happened. It was right over his shoulder and the defender tried to reach and he just couldn't get there. It got us six.

I knew I had the 5 yards, but I was thinking touchdown and I took my eyes off the ball.

It helps you get your mind on football.

He's one of the toughest wide receivers in the league. He gets it done catching, route running, throwing the blocks and everything. He's an all-around player. He goes out and works at it every year and has the ability to be even better than he's been. It goes back to being steady, being focused and every year having to prove a point.

I don't know. I don't think so. We'll see.

Certainly this is a team that uses guys like me. That's what we do, use all the versatility we have on this team to get it done.

Gene Upshaw (NFLPA executive director) is doing all he can to get the best deal for the players. And the NFL owners are trying to feel like they're not slighted in any way. There has to be an agreement sooner or later. We hope we get it done.
