anyone bowl everybody mad nobody people respect super talking wants
If anyone wants to play the respect card, be mad at the people that make the odds, don't be mad at us. I don't know how they can feel disrespected when everybody had them going to the Super Bowl anyway. We feel like we're the underdog. Nobody was talking about us.
calling couple hear looking offensive people plays remember talking
I remember he got in the huddle and a couple offensive linemen couldn't hear the play because he was talking real softly. He was looking down, calling plays off his wristband, and a lot of people couldn't read his lips. So it was a long day.
couple grow hoping nobody opportunity picks talking watch
I'm hoping nobody picks him up because I really think he has an opportunity to really be special. I want to watch him grow and grow. In a couple years, you're going to be talking about him.
brother goes talk touched
In some form, Jerome has touched every person on our team. He's kind of like the big brother that everyone goes to talk to. We pleaded with him to come back for another year.
bandwagon everybody jump nobody people super talking
I don't know how (the Seahawks) can feel disrespected when everybody had them going to the Super Bowl, anyway. We feel like we're the underdog. Nobody was talking about us. For us to do what we have done, people want to jump on the bandwagon now.
career count game looked man
We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit.
fell focus game guys short
We fell one game short (last year). A lot of guys are focused, real hungry. Things didnt go particularly the way we wanted in the preseason, but you dont game-plan in the preseason. Our whole focus now is Tennessee.
felt minutes played regroup win
We felt we were in control. But they played 60 minutes and we didn't. So now we've got to regroup and let's try to win 13 straight.
felt played
We felt we were in control. But they played 60 minutes, and we didn't.
beat book cincinnati fairy needs somebody tale truly
It would truly be a fairy tale story, to go on road, beat Cincinnati and come in and beat Indianapolis, then to get Jerome back to where it all started for him in Detroit. Somebody needs to write a book about that. It would make a lot of money.
ben practice run third threw
It was third and long and we were scrambling around. We practice on the scrambling drill. Ben threw it kind of short; I had to run back.
bowl ended fairy fight happy super tale win
It was all for Jerome. We were going to fight for him. I'm just so happy for him. The way he ended his career, to win a Super Bowl in his own town, is a fairy tale come true.
caught explosive further page percent slant stuff throw timing
I still don't feel 100 percent right on the same page with Ben. On that slant play early, I should have caught it and he should throw it a little further inside. That's timing stuff we're working out during practice. When we get on the same page, we're going to be an explosive offense.
feelings field game goal guy high low misses rarely
I've never had a game where you had an all-time high to an all-time low and then have a guy who rarely misses a field goal miss one and go back to an all-time high again. We don't want to have to go through this many feelings again.
