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.
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?

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.
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.

We've been playing like we're in the playoffs since the last month of the season. We had to win.

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.

We're all going over to Mrs. Bettis' house for dinner. But we're wearing our white uniforms on Sunday, so I'm going to have to watch myself.
playing super
We're playing in the Super Bowl, so how can we have a letdown? I can't see how that can happen.
bread defense run stop
Our run defense is our bread and butter, ... That's what we do: Stop the run. I think we're getting right where we need to be, at the right time.
