along block far game goes great guy guys knock player trying walt watching weird
We get to see it Mondays. It is weird watching a guy block another player -- a great player -- and knock him backwards. You see as the game goes along that the guys are trying to get as far away from Walt as they can.
game glamorous guys love nuts
You have to be nuts to do what I do. It's not necessarily a glamorous position. You have to really love the game because most guys don't want to play it.
anxious guys movies nicely point sleeping sort taking travel watching
It's the way it's always been when we travel. It's sort of light. Guys are watching movies. We travel nicely on Mr. Allen's plane. Guys are sleeping and guys are taking it easy. Nobody's really anxious at this point about what we're about to be a part of. It's sort of the same old, same old.
forward fun good guys holes open
It's fun. I know those guys are good at what they do, so I look forward to Sunday. Hopefully, I'll be able to open up some holes for them.
guys matter needed plays time understanding
It's just a matter of guys just understanding it's time to make plays. Those opportunities in the past, when we had them, we didn't make the plays when we needed to, and this time we did. That's the difference.
guys hopefully standard
Those guys will be Seahawks forever. I know that they've been an inspiration to us, just the standard that they set years ago, and hopefully they can feel a part of this.
guys rely
What we've got is a lot of weapons. We don't have to rely on one guy. We've got 11 guys we rely on.
bobby continue guys hopefully offense philosophy playing proven until wait
Our philosophy on offense is to wait for opportunity. Those guys have proven they can play when they get that opportunity. Eventually, we'll get Darrell and Bobby back. Until then, hopefully those guys can continue playing well.
balanced defend football gets great guys hard news nine offense passing stop tries washington win
They're going to try to stop Shaun? Wow, news flash. I feel like we have a balanced enough offense that if Shaun gets 50 yards, if that's all he's got, we can still win the football game. If Washington comes out and tries to put eight, nine guys in the box, then we're going to have a great day passing the football. It's going to be incredible. I think it's going to be hard for them to defend us.
benefits guys maturity starting staying
I think where the maturity comes from is just guys being able to do it day in and day out for years. I think we're starting to see some benefits of just staying together.
guys happen past seen somebody staged whenever
It is kind of comical. It's kind of like a sitcom. I know in years past whenever I've seen things like this happen I feel like someone staged this, somebody put these guys up to do this.
football great guys locker love
This is a great football team. I love the guys in this locker room.
detroit feeling learned lessons ready seen turning worth
I've seen a lot of years that were very challenging. A lot of turning points, a lot of lessons learned over those years. But I can tell you with all honesty, with all my heart, it's been worth every second. The feeling I have right now, getting ready to go to Detroit to play for a world championship ... it's just tremendous.
call came coach home later time weird
It was very surreal. I came home one day and she said, 'You're moving.' I said, 'No, we're not moving.' Then about a day later I call a call from a coach and he said, 'Pack your bags.' That was a weird time in our history.
