Heath Miller Quotations

We knew we wanted to do that early on and establish at that point that we were going to throw the ball on our own terms.

I guess I'm a little guarded, ... But the more I get to know people, the more fun I can have. I'm just thankful I'm on a team like this, because every time I turn around, somebody is there to help me out and talk to me. That speaks a lot about the guys on this team.

I'd like to talk to him, but just about being the best tight end I can be, ... I know he did some great things here and was part of a lot of winning teams. I want to experience that type of success here. I'm not too worried about my statistics because that's not what's important. It's winning games.

I felt I was on all my assignments and I played well at the line of scrimmage.

He's a big part of our football team, and I know he was frustrated he wasn't able to play. I'm sure he'll be back and will be a big help to us.

I was a little bit surprised. I obviously knew of him. And I thought it was nice of him to call. It was very nice to hear from a player who has been in the league for so many years. To hear from a player that's not even on your team was really nice.

I think it's nice to carry a winning streak in. I'd like to think that we'll play better than we did (Sunday). I thought we left a lot out on the field. But we have this week to prepare and get ready to play our 'A' game next week.

It gives you a little confidence that you're able to make a play; hopefully I'll make more.

I was able to get open and Tommy got me the ball,

I was able to get my hands inside and I probably used a little nudge from J.B. (Bettis) in the back to help me out a little bit.

I still see us as underdogs. Seattle's been one of the top teams in the league, throughout the entire year. We're a No. 6 seed and barely made the playoffs. We've got a tough challenge ahead.

I think I always try to play hard and be as physical as possible after I get the ball, ... I'm probably not going to outrun too many people, so I just try to run them over.

I think he really puts out an aura of confidence for the whole team to feed off of.

We can play the way we did today any time we want. Just because we don't always show a big-play passing game doesn't mean we don't have it.

We're doing what we have to do to move the football, and teams have been stuck on taking away our running game so we've had to pass to move it.

We kind of flooded the side. I came open in the corner, and Ben got me the ball.

Sorry, ... I guess I don't have much to say.

As it will be every week, we're going to take what the defense gives us. The defense will dictate where we're going to go with the football.

It was exciting and good to get it out of the way. Getting that first one is really important.

It's almost too much to think about. So you don't think about it. That's what we've learned from the guys in this room: Not to think too much about it, just go out and concentrate on playing football.

There was a point in there when it was rough, but the playoffs really built my energy level back up and I haven't looked back. We had a few days off and my body feels great right now.

Not only did he reach out to help a rookie who didn't know many people around here, but he helped out a guy who's not even on this team anymore, ... Obviously, it's because he's a great guy. It meant a lot to me to hear from him. He could relate to me. He was able to help me. I look forward to seeing him face to face (today).

The mesh of our personalities and the way we work together makes us as tight of a group as we are.

Im not nervous yet, ... I imagine Ill get more nervous as the game gets closer.

I made a few catches, but you can't be satisfied, ... Any time you lose the game, you've got to be disappointed.

I just wanted to come in and take care to make plays when I had the opportunity and see what happens from there,

I'd say I need to pick up the pace, don't I? ... I have a long way to go to get to 26. We'll see about that.

I feel a lot more comfortable with the offense at this point than I did coming into training camp, and I'm ready to roll this Sunday.
