Adam Vinatieri Quotations

He's a good guy and he's been a good kicker for a long time. I expect him to make all of his kicks, so hopefully it doesn't come down to him having an opportunity because he's pretty good.

Hopefully many of those kicks are still with me. Mike is a great kicker. I've got some pretty big shoes to fill.

He does it over and over again. As long as we have a minute left in the game, he and the boys just find a way to get it done. It's pretty impressive just watching the guys work and do their jobs so well.

That'll be in the back of my head - very far back. The team success is way more important than any personal goals, but it just means I've been fortunate to play on a good team for a long time.

Having been in the situation before, you kind of know what to expect. But the game-winner in the Super Bowl at the end of the game is never an easy kick, no matter how many times you've gone through it. None of us are perfect. Every one of the people I mentioned, there's times where they aren't able to come through.

The offense did a good job in the two-minute drill to get down there and use up all the clock. We find a way to get it done. We've sure had our ups and downs this year, but this team has a lot of heart.

The margin of error is small in a playoff game. Everybody has to play well. And every once in a while, one game comes down to one play. You never know when it is, or what play has to be made, but you have to try to do your job when it comes to that.

I thought it was awesome. It just adds one more thing to his legacy ... as if he needs another thing to add to his legacy in Boston.

We shocked the world, but we didn't shock ourselves. That's kind of one of those things we all dream about as we grow up, having a chance to win the Super Bowl in the last minute.

We were going to kick it no matter what the distance, ... We bled the clock. There was always overtime.
