athletic freak guy looks man matter playing pro size superior walt
No matter who Walt is playing, it really looks like he is a man playing with little kids. It doesn't matter if a guy is a Pro Bowler. Walt just has superior strength, size and athletic ability. He is a freak of nature.
five freak front game jobs nature nobody players playing quality rest
There is nobody else in the game who does the things Walter does. He's just a freak of nature. But for the rest of us humans, we still get our jobs done. I mean, the quality of the players that we have playing on that front five is just amazing.
bit consider easy factors line looking season sure
I'm sure that will have to be one of many factors he'll have to consider once this season is over with. For me, there's no other line I'd want to play behind. That's a no-brainer. But that's easy for me to say after 13 years in the league. I'm not looking for the big payday like he is. He's in a little bit different boat.
sure
I'm sure Shaun was probably all over that.

I'm just trying to soak up every moment that I can and just really savor it. Just writing in a little journal that I have -- for myself, for the future and for my kids. Just so that I will remember this incredible experience.

We were down there for a couple of weeks working out and everything, which was very weird, very, very weird. I'd just signed a new contract, I felt at home in Seattle, and the last place I wanted to be was Los Angeles. Fortunately, Mr. Allen came in and saved the team, and it all worked out.
complete needed shows sob time whether
We didn't have time to sob or sulk or anything else. It shows we're a complete team. It's not just about one guy. Whether you play one play or 70 plays, we needed it all today.
difference fans great home man stadium undefeated
Being undefeated at home made all the difference in the world for our team. The 12th man - the great fans in this stadium - made a difference all season, but never more than in this game.
coming good honest lying plugging
To be honest with you, I didn't see it coming back then. I'd be lying if I said I did. But you just keep plugging away. You just keep working hard, and good things happen.
obstacles tough
There have been a lot of tough years, a lot of challenging times and obstacles to overcome. But we're here.
goals higher playoff since throwing win won
There's no question, we've got to win the game. We'll be throwing everything we have, all of our weapons, all of our energy, all of our focus, all of our concentration. It's not just because it's been so long since we've won a playoff game. But it's more that if we lose, we're done, and we have higher goals than that.
fun lean winning
The winning makes it a lot more fun. I've been through some lean seasons. Winning makes it a lot easier. You can see it in practice.

I've seen a lot of years that were very challenging. A lot of turning points, a lot of lessons learned over those years.

The feeling I have right now, getting ready to go to Detroit to play for a world championship ... it's just tremendous.
