Tennessee Titans safety Bernard Pollard has admitted that his club should be targeting the Super Bowl in the 2013 season.
Pollard said that the Titans must start imposing themselves on the league in order to earn the respect required to be successful.
"Our goal is the Super Bowl, and our mission is to kill," Pollard told The Tennessean. "If someone doesn't like it, then who cares? I really couldn't care less. It is not our responsibility to make anyone else happy, to please you, to care about you.
"Our responsibility is to protect LP Field, and our responsibility is to steal wins on the road. And our responsibility is to [beat you up] as a defense, and that's what we're going to do on every single play.
"You have to have that mentality because nobody cares about the Tennessee Titans. Nobody. So you have to take the respect. That's what we have to do. Yeah, this team can get to the Super Bowl."
Pollard made 98 combined tackles last season for Super Bowl champions Baltimore Ravens.
