We kind of flooded the side. I came open in the corner, and Ben got me the ball.
game move pass running stuck taking teams
We're doing what we have to do to move the football, and teams have been stuck on taking away our running game so we've had to pass to move it.
bit hear knew league nice obviously player team
I was a little bit surprised. I obviously knew of him. And I thought it was nice of him to call. It was very nice to hear from a player who has been in the league for so many years. To hear from a player that's not even on your team was really nice.
carry game left next nice prepare ready streak week winning
I think it's nice to carry a winning streak in. I'd like to think that we'll play better than we did (Sunday). I thought we left a lot out on the field. But we have this week to prepare and get ready to play our 'A' game next week.

It gives you a little confidence that you're able to make a play; hopefully I'll make more.

hands help inside
I was able to get my hands inside and I probably used a little nudge from J.B. (Bettis) in the back to help me out a little bit.

I still see us as underdogs. Seattle's been one of the top teams in the league, throughout the entire year. We're a No. 6 seed and barely made the playoffs. We've got a tough challenge ahead.
hard physical possible run
I think I always try to play hard and be as physical as possible after I get the ball, ... I'm probably not going to outrun too many people, so I just try to run them over.
aura confidence feed puts team
I think he really puts out an aura of confidence for the whole team to feed off of.
football frustrated help sure
He's a big part of our football team, and I know he was frustrated he wasn't able to play. I'm sure he'll be back and will be a big help to us.
game mean passing time today
We can play the way we did today any time we want. Just because we don't always show a big-play passing game doesn't mean we don't have it.
coming offense point ready roll training
I feel a lot more comfortable with the offense at this point than I did coming into training camp, and I'm ready to roll this Sunday.
pick
I'd say I need to pick up the pace, don't I? ... I have a long way to go to get to 26. We'll see about that.
