Super Bowl winning QB channels Mariano Rivera for winning--1/7/07
Former Washington Redskins QB Doug Williams advises back-up QB's coming in late in HIGH STAKES GAMES to emulate Mariano:
- '''I didn't sit on the sideline thinking 'backup,''' Williams said. ''I had a starter's mentality. When I went out there, I didn't think of myself as the relief pitcher; I thought of myself as the pitcher.''
- Don't try to do too much. Play within yourself. That's Morrall's advice. Always prepare as though you're going to play. As difficult as that might be, that is the lesson Hostetler learned.
- You know the look on New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera's face when he enters a game, that look of supreme confidence? That's the look a backup quarterback should have, Williams said.'
