On Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger…

“You can’t prepare for what he naturally does. How do you prepare to tackle a guy who’s as big as a polar bear? How do you prepare for a guy that can flick the ball 50 yards at the drop of a dime? How do you prepare for a guy that can run like he does? How do you prepare for that? How do you prepare for someone who wants to win like he wants to win and that kind of franchise? You don’t prepare for it; you do your best with the X’s and O’s, but he’s really unique.”

On whether defensive linemen respect Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger’s ability to shrug off contact…

“Absolutely. When I was in Baltimore, my first year, (LB) Bart (Scott) kind of decapitated him and he came back in the game. And you know what he did? He said, ‘Great hit, Bart.’ He’s not that guy; he’s not going to run his mouth to you, he’s not going to do any of those type of things and he gives respect where respect is due, so you’ve got to respect him for what he is and what he’s accomplished.”
