against guys played randy
Randy was, in my opinion, the best. He really was the best. We played against him so many times; there aren't many guys like him around.
against athletes bit handled league material matter physical playing position rookie seeing time tough volumes
The tough thing in this league about playing the linebacker position is that as a rookie you are seeing many things for the first time and you are going against athletes that you didn't always play against when you were in college. The physical part of it is tough, but they have handled that beautifully. Then it was just a matter if they could handle the volumes of material that are expanded a little bit when you get into our league.
against losing reasons streak
There's a lot of reasons this is an important game. You don't want to have a losing streak against anybody.
against ball drop good great guys overcome played
There were some guys who made some great plays, but we did drop the ball uncharacteristically. ...We played against a good team, and you can't overcome those things.
against careless football good happy locker pittsburgh room team
As happy as the other locker room is, that's how disappointed we are. I think we were careless with the football and had too many penalties. And that combination against a good team like Pittsburgh is not a good combination.

As good as we were (in the 34-15 win over) New Orleans, ... we were that sloppy against Dallas (on Monday). While we did some good things with our first group in the first quarter, we were careless.
against clean dallas sloppy
As clean as we were against New Orleans, we were that sloppy against Dallas tonight. We were just careless. That was kind of how it went.
against deal favorite feeling quite team underdog
The feeling I get is that we are very much the underdog in this game. We were very much the favorite against Denver, so how you deal with your team is quite different.
good job proud stronger tough
I've very, very proud of the job he has done. He is stronger and better because of some of the tough things he had to go through. He and I kind of banged around a little bit, but we're in a good place now.
happiness happy
It would be an understatement to say I'm not happy about this.
hard pass return team
It was uncharacteristic of my team to have that many penalties. We had a touchdown called back, a pass to the 1 called back and a punt return called back. That's tough. That's hard to overcome.
nice played second team
It was a nice second half. The team played very, very well, especially in the second half.
excited fans football gone proud seattle stuff talk team
The Seattle football fans have probably gone through some stuff in their history, ... and now we want to give our fans a team they can be proud of, where they can be excited about it, talk about it and have hope.
basketball passionate paycheck profiling rookie talking
is that he's just not passionate enough about football. But when we started talking basketball he got excited. I think he's going to get his rookie paycheck and cruise. He also didn't do well in the psychological profiling we did on him.
