While as many as 12,000 true volunteers will be involved during Super Bowl week in New York and New Jersey this winter, the NFL also is hiring about 1,500 people for its support staff at various venues.
That's good news for Tannehill, because Griese led two Super Bowl championship teams and went on to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Johnson and Hester raced a cheetah separately during the summer at SeaWorld's Busch Gardens for the episode pitting the fastest mammal on land against two of the NFL's speediest players. Johnson was timed running the 40-yard dash in 4.24 seconds at the 2008 NFL combine. Still,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, Johnson says his Titans' teammates don't believe he raced a cheetah.
Getting three turnovers inside the red zone over the past two games has been a big help. The last one was Brandon Boykin's interception on Robert Griffin III to seal last Sunday's win over Washington.
"You got to watch," Johnson said with a laugh.
The response? Some fans made it known on Twitter that they saw it otherwise.
"You play offense like we did in the first three series, you're going to get booed," said left tackle Andrew Whitworth, in his eighth season in Cincinnati. "I've been here when we were 0-8, so that ain't (nothing). That ain't booing."
"We're not a bunch of Pro Bowl names, pretty faces," defensive coordinator Billy Davis said. "We're scrapping and keeping people out of the end zone. It's hard work and high effort that's getting it done."
"But that is expected anytime you have something to say," he said.
Frank Supovitz, the NFL's vice president in charge of preparations for the game, cites several reasons for the paid workers supplementing the volunteers.
"They going to watch. I know they going to watch," Johnson said.
BOOING THE BENGALS: Defensive end Michael Johnson didn't like the way the way Paul Brown Stadium filled with boos after the Bengals got off to a rough start last Sunday, so he said what was on his mind, knowing it might not be popular.
The Bengals have spent the last few years trying to win back fans. They regularly had games blacked out on local television because they didn't sell out, and they'd often have nearly as many Steelers fans in the stands as Bengals fans when Pittsburgh came to town.
"I compare him to what I was my second year," Griese said. "He is way ahead of where I was, there's no doubt."
The Bengals moved into Paul Brown Stadium for the 2000 season. Their best record there was 6-2 during the 2009 season. They've assured themselves of only their sixth winning home record during their 14 seasons at Paul Brown.
Second-year pro Ryan Tannehill has been sacked an NFL-high 41 times this season. He's 12-13 as a starter and ranks in the lower half in most statistical categories this season, but Griese is a fan.
"There's the complexity of the market and the difficulty in moving back and forth between major venues on two sides of the Hudson (River). People in New Jersey are more familiar with that state and its venues and it's the same for New York."
"Obviously, the No. 1 thing is you want to stop," coach Chip Kelly said. "Not only are we getting stops, but we're getting turnovers created down there. That's kind of like the icing on the cake. But as the field obviously gets shorter, there is not as much room for them to operate, and our guys have a pretty good understanding of the plan that's going in. I also think our guys, now that we have a body of work to study film,China Soccer Jerseys, we have an idea what people are trying to do down there. Our coaches put together a plan and our players are executing them."
More true volunteers are required for this Super Bowl than most because New York has more airports, train and bus stations and hotels involved than other cities.
"They think it's false" Johnson said. "They'll see Nov. 29th,Steelers Jerseys On Sale."
While the local volunteers handle such duties as greeting travelers at airports and train stations, and providing information on all aspects of Super Bowl week,Cheap Nike Sb China, the league is contracting with a series of staffing organizations for other helpers. The paid "volunteers" will work Super Bowl Boulevard in Manhattan, a 14-block outdoor celebration of all things football-related, centered around Times Square. They also will work other events during the buildup to the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold weather site, and will have game-day duties, too.
