We love the guy to death. He's a great coach and a great mind. He's done so much for this defense and helped us out tremendously with his wisdom and knowledge. When he puts together a game plan we feel like, if we execute it, we have a great chance to win the game.

I almost started to cry. The first thing I thought was he was dead. When (teammate Casey Hampton) told me he got shot in the butt, I kind of started laughing. It was a big relief to me.

There's no question we're going to have to do a good job against Alexander. He's the guy that makes that offense go. He's the guy we've got to stop.

He had a lot of drops today. I don't know what it was. Maybe Joey got in his head. His game plan all week was to try to get in Stevens' head and I think he might have done that.

He's a great guy. He's one of my best friends on the team. I love the guy to death. I don't care what he says, he can't do any wrong in my eyes. He's got a great personality. He's one of those guys, if you're in a crowded room with a lot of people, that's the guy you want to be around.

That's Joey. If you think that was the best of him ... that was nothing. Half the time we laugh at it and think it's pretty funny. It's no big deal. We've still got to go out and play this game. It's the Super Bowl, so we don't need any extra motivation.

I called him a few names. I really can't repeat what I said. I just let him know we were out there and we were going to be talking to him all day.

You know he's going to throw something out there they've never seen before. You can't describe how good he is. He's seen everything and done everything.

If he would have stayed in the game, it might have been a long day for us. We just didn't play up to our level.
