confident everybody job
It's not going to take some super-human effort. Obviously, everybody has to do their job. I'm confident in our defense, and, if we play the way we can, we can get the job done. We don't have to have one person do something extraordinary.
cry crying pittsburgh remember sit stuff super thinking won worried
I'm not even worried about that, man. That's kind of crazy, to sit there and cry about the officiating and stuff like that. It is what it is. We got the championship, and two years from now, no one will even be thinking about what they're crying about. They'll just remember that Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl.
built defense followed fun nose tackle type
I followed in his footsteps, ... To be a nose tackle and play in this defense, you couldn't want anything else. I'm built for this type of defense and it's fun for me to play.
came taking
It just wasn't us out there. We came out flat. Everything we did in this game, we did to ourselves. I'm not taking anything away from Detroit, but we made a lot of mistakes.
hard helping main seeing team
It's hard seeing your team out there, especially when your team is doing good. You want to be out there helping them. That's the main thing. You want to play so bad, you feel you let them down.
block coach field good great might question standpoint stop strategy video
That might be a good strategy for a video game. But you don't question him. He's a great coach. From the standpoint of me being me, I'd feel we would stop them and block the field goal.
talk
They can talk about that all they want, but they still haven't really done anything.
blitz causes coming kindness main problems
They have problems because we come at you from so many different kind of ways, they don't know where the blitz is coming from. I think that's the main thing that causes problems (for the offense).
asking defensive everybody good great keeps line offensive played questions
We just played a pretty good offensive line in Denver. Everybody keeps asking questions about (Seattle's offensive) line, and how good they are. They are a great offensive line. But I like our defensive line.
blitz defense fast good somebody start stay team tough
We try to start fast because we feel that if we get up on somebody we're in good shape, and then we go after them on defense. We try to smother them on defense and stay up on them. A lot of times when you blitz like we do and the team is down, they get to panicking and it's tough for them to come back.
enjoy few fun kick past relax time
We've been celebrating and having fun the past few days. Now it's time to rest. Kind of kick back and relax and enjoy myself a bit.
came fun guys inch joke next older pants wears
You can joke with him and tell stories. He's an older guy, so he wears his pants up real high. We were making fun of him one day. He came back the next day and said, 'Hey, what do you guys think?' He had the pants about an inch lower.
attention concentration door easier everybody worried
Everybody worried about him and I just snuck in through the back door and got mine. There wasn't a lot of attention on it. That made it easier to get because all the concentration was on him.
matter winning
The whole thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how we did it.
