Simeon Rice Team Quotations

There are opportunity and circumstances that fall our way and we have to take advantage of them. Any good team is able to do that. You've got to step up.

From week to week, game to game, it doesn't matter if a team is 3-12 or 12-3 or undefeated. They're going to always play you hard. When our games come around, it's a playoff atmosphere.

Hopefully, they bring the noise. Hopefully, they're a little on edge, a little crazed. We're begging for a crazed crowd. Hopefully, you can't even hear yourself think. When the other team feels that, they feel like they're going to lose right out of the gate.

That (Super Bowl) team was a really tight-knit team. We had characters. We had Hollywood. We had bravado, we had it all. That was our time then. This is our time now. Our time now is what it is. Winning brings about a better situation. It's just as tight. But it's still all about winning.

For me, it's not about sacking the quarterback. It's about changing the course of the game. It's causing a crucial fumble at a crucial time. It's making a tackle for a loss when the opposing team needs to gain one or two yards for the first down. I look at myself as a sudden-impact player.
