Kendall Simmons Quotations

People in his family have diabetes, so he knew what I was going through, and he talked to me about it. On other teams, when they find out you have it, it's like you have a handicap and you become a liability. They don't even give you a chance.

Look at Denver. They do it every year with a new guy.

I won't say we're peaking at the right time, but we're on the rise. I know we're going to do well this time.

You knew it was going to be a 12-round fight and whoever was going to land the last punch at the end was going to win, and they got the last hook in there.

You kind of have to take advantage and use leverage on guys that big because you can't just sit there and fight with them. You have to stay lower than them. That's the only way that's going to work.

We can play a big role in shutting that offense down. We need to go on 8-, 10-, 12-play drives. We're all in good enough shape to do that. We just have to make it happen.

You know how those lights from the cameras start flashing when the ball gets kicked off? That's officially when I knew I was in the Super Bowl.

Walter Jones is the best offensive lineman I've ever seen.

Every time he sees me, he asks me how I'm doing. He tells me to take care of myself because he knows what I'm going through. That makes you feel a lot better right there.

Denver and some other lines do the same thing. It doesn't matter who they got back there, they are producing. That's what we have to do and I don't think that is going to change. We aren't going to change the way we block.

You can't let them get rolling. Once they get that two or three yards, you need to shoot them with a bazooka to stop them.

It's not one, two or three guys, it's bunches and bunches and bunches of them.

It's not like we have a rookie or a second-year guy back there, then you have cause for concern. But Tommy or Charlie, it doesn't matter who's back there. We're not going to change anything or try to cut down on anything.

It's one of those things where I want to spread the word, let them know that you can be in the same position I'm in. You're going to have hurdles, but if you work hard, you can overcome them.

That's something I'm not worried about. You just have to try to outwork them; that's it. They want you to come at them, but you just have to be more physical than them and I know we'll be able to do that.

Every now and then, he gets riled up, but you can't really tell. It's a little chirp here and there just to try to get us going. Normally, he lets (offensive line coach) Russ (Grimm) do all the hollering.

The best feeling in the world was bringing my little girl and my wife down on the field. That solidified to me that we won the game.

It was pretty cool because he's an Auburn guy, just like me, and I got him.

I never really liked it much, but we started winning. My wife is worse than I am. She has told me not to change anything I'm doing.

I just knew he was going to make it. I knew he was. But I was praying. Somebody, please get a hand up. Get a hand up, something. He pushed it, and I couldn't believe it.

But I think I'm doing well enough to help the line do pretty well.

I don't think anything is going to change. We are going to block for them the same way we block for Jerome and Duce. You don't have to give him too much because you know he is going to hit it 100 mph.

He's not one of those guys that whines: 'I'm hurt. I can't do this. I want a steak. Don't nobody touch me. Leave me alone. Put me in a bubble,' ... There are guys who want to be in a bubble. They're like glass. You can't touch them. They don't have no dog in them. And he does. He's definitely got plenty of dog in him, and that's what I like about him.

You want to win the game and you want to play better. You want to beat them. But that's part of it. Hopefully we can see them again down the road.
