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.
bowl game good people super trying win
It's pretty wild, all the people around. It's a good thing, though. We're here at the Super Bowl trying to win a big game and people want to know about us.
coach denver good kept teaches technique
Denver kind of kept the same thing going. He's a good coach who teaches the right techniques, so you've got to kind of have good technique to do it.
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.
bad chance gives good looking noticed throw trying
I noticed that when he's going down, he's still looking for receivers. He's always trying to throw the ball; that can be a good and bad thing. When he's trying to make plays, that gives us a chance to make a play too.
good james jets knew run smart understand
I really can't understand how the Jets let him go like that. We knew how good James was. He's a smart guy, can run fast. I mean, what else do you want?
matter winning
The whole thing is winning the game. It doesn't matter how we did it.
focus guys helping impact time
I've been able to just focus on helping our guys make plays. I want to make an impact every time I'm out there.
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.
anybody played
We haven't really played anybody that played like that.
fight fired gets hear pick says
You know, I can't really say it, what (Porter) says before games. You'll hear anything out of Joey, he'll say anything. He's got to pick a fight to get going, that's just him. He gets fired up. . . . I think that spreads to everybody.
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.
last month playing playoffs since
We've been playing like we're in the playoffs since the last month of the season. We had to win.
