build great pill seattle tough
We established something great here in Seattle and we can build on it. But it's a tough, tough pill to swallow.
beat football great huge indy win year
The only thing I can think of (for the Steelers being favored) is that they beat Indianapolis, which was a huge win for them. Indy was having a great, great year and is a great football team. And that popped Pittsburgh, as it should.
blind caught couple experience great handle liked seen side talent
Tonight, there were some things I would have liked to have seen him handle a little differently, but all in all I think he's made great strides. There were a couple of formation things and a couple of audible checks. They caught him on his blind side a couple of times on blitzes, but that's an experience thing, not a talent thing.
fairly greater individual parts sum team truest unknown
It really is a team in the truest sense of the word. The sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts. This team is fairly unknown to most of the country.
battle certainly expect given good great hard ken marvelous miss works year
It's a great story. He has come in this year and done a marvelous job. He is one of 18 children. He has had to battle for his place his whole life. He appreciates everything. He works hard for everything. He doesn't expect anything to be given to him, and I can't say enough about the young guy. Do we miss Ken Hamlin? Certainly we do. But Marquand Manuel has been better than good this season.

Wow, great story. That's an area we have to look at, but he certainly has done everything we have asked him to do.

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.
build feeling game great pill remember tough
This is a tough pill to swallow. We accomplished a lot this year. While you don't have a great feeling after a game like this, I want them to remember this feeling, so they can build on it.
anytime bar fair falls football good great guy happen high physical short talk wants wonderful
I think the world of him and I think he is a really good football player. I set the bar very high for him. Anytime he falls short of that, fair or not fair, I will talk to him about it. He is a wonderful guy ... and he wants to do well. To go with his physical ability, all the things you have to do to be a great player, it should happen for him.

He's a wonderful young man and a great football player -- let me say those things first,

He's been like a breath of fresh air. He's really been great for our team.
allen allow believe build chance coaches gave great patience patient paul rather shown stand volatile
Patience. I thanked Paul for being patient with me in a rather volatile business, to allow your coaches to build something and to believe in them. You don't always see it as much as you should in this business, and he has been great for me. With the patience Mr. Allen has shown me, he gave me a chance to stand on the podium.
great knew needed speed
He has great hands. We knew that. He's a big target. I think his speed is a little underestimated. And we really needed him to play the way he played.
