Dick LeBeau Quotations

Nobody remembers who loses the Super Bowl. Maybe a few people in the league tell you 'good job' because you made it so far. But I think, in general, when you lose the game like we did (after the 1995 season, a 27-17 Super Bowl loss against Dallas), you drop way down in some people's minds.

Make no mistake, they've got a great quarterback. It's not easy to hold him under 20. Our guys did that and it gives you a great chance to win. It was the execution of our players. They did a great job with their timing.

It's a nice even number, isn't it? When I reached 30 years, I didn't think about 50. But we're a little closer to 50 now. So we'll see. I'll take it one snap at a time.

He's similar to those guys in that he has good size and speed and can really run, yet he can blitz, too. I think he enjoys playing in our system, just like they did.

Our coaches were good to us. They treated it more as a bonus for us. We didn't work too hard and we got some time off.

The statistics will tell you that: They scored more points. That's usually a pretty good barometer for the effect that the rule changes had on the game for that year. The numbers, in this case, don't lie.

He had a couple (of) injuries early in his career that kept him from growing at a normal pace. But soon as he stayed healthy, which he has, he just really became a fine defensive lineman.

He looked like he was 100 percent to me. They said he's 90 percent. If he's got more than that, he's pretty good.

Our guys did a great job with their disguising and their timing.

He's very quick, and he can make plays with his feet and his arm. He is also very accurate, and his ability to escape adds to his overall package.
