Hines Ward Looked Quotations

He didn't say, 'Hines, I'm about to pitch it,' ... He saw me and I looked at him. I thought he was going to get out of (the tackler's grip) and I was going to try to block. The ball hit me in the hands, so I needed to catch it, I guess. I take responsibility for that.

We're not going to hit the panic button. We had a great training camp and we looked good in practice. We were hitting on all four cylinders. We just haven't been able to transfer that into games.

We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit.

At times, he looked kind of rattled, just frustrated with himself because he wanted to play better than he did.

Charlie's been here a long time. He's looked good at practice. I know he's licking his chops for this opportunity. That's all he asks for, an opportunity to go out there and play.
