Hines Ward Guy Quotations

For us, we don't get caught up in statistics as much. As players, the team MVP is the guy who exemplifies hard work at practices, gives it his all on Sundays and is the guy to get the guys up.

When his hair comes down, he changes. He's a very emotional player on the field. He's kind of a guy with a split personality.

Last year, everything was new to him, so he was just winging it. Now he's prepared himself, he's having fun, he's becoming a leader out there. He's a very situational guy. Third-and-short, he's looking for the guy to pick up the first down. I don't know what he was, completion-wise, but he was pretty good.

I thought it was over when we had the ball at the 2-yard line. Didn't you? Of course, I thought it was over. Everyone did. Then a guy who very rarely fumbles fumbled, and Ben did a heck of a job to tackle the guy. He saved our year. It was a great play. When you're in your goal-line offense, you have all big guys out there and the only guy with any speed is the quarterback.

Ken has done a phenomenal job of distributing the ball. Every week, it's a different guy stepping up.

We have a lot of faith in him. He's earned it with his play. He's proven again and again that he's a guy who can make plays.

We have a guy that when it's time to play around, he's joking with the players. But when it's time for business, to get on that field and get better, he's all about business. We respect that. It makes you want to go out and fight even harder for the guy.

I've never had a game where you had an all-time high to an all-time low and then have a guy who rarely misses a field goal miss one and go back to an all-time high again. We don't want to have to go through this many feelings again.

The guy is just special. He's touched lives of everybody in the city of Pittsburgh in some way, somehow, some form.

Guys ask me, 'Why are you always smiling?' Are you kidding? I'm in the NFL, that's why!

I want to be the guy who catches the game-winning touchdown.
