It was a nice second half. The team played very, very well, especially in the second half.
Our depth in the secondary was not good last year.
On the second (run) we did not block very well. I tried to get more (yards). But I tried to get it with the run.
There are times when I become frustrated when we get second (down) and nine, ... (But) I was bound and determined today to stay with it.
Now our second season starts. Fortunately we have a first-round bye, so we can heal up a little bit and get ready to play in the playoffs.
Darrell had to go for a second opinion, so he's in Florida. And Bobby, he was getting treatment today and he can't move very well.
It was good that they had to pass the ball a lot in the second half. He didn't have to get up in there too much.
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.
It would be an understatement to say I'm not happy about this.
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.
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.
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.
I've been fortunate to have an owner who has been patient with me. That's not always the case.
The whole thing with Ray is that we want to make sure that when he does come back, he comes back and we do the right thing, ... I will have to have the reins on him a little bit because he'll want to dive back in there and its probably not the prudent thing to do right away.
