american-coach attention changed everybody football gets knows last packages paying seen year
We just changed some of our packages so it gets to be seen more. Plus, everybody knows that this could be my last year here so everybody is kind of paying attention to everything.
disruptive seen situation teams tired wants
No one wants a disruptive situation on his roster. There is too much at stake. Without naming names, we've seen too much of it recently. Teams are getting tired of it.
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.
anyone asking calling easy few handle last middle people plate rookie seen
What we're asking him to do is difficult, ... A rookie middle linebacker calling the signals, there's nothing easy about that. His plate is full. But if anyone can handle it, of the young people I've seen in the last few years, he can.
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.
fortunate owner patient
I've been fortunate to have an owner who has been patient with me. That's not always the case.
bit dive prudent ray reins sure
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.
game good guys level nice snaps talent
They all get about 25 snaps a game and they've been doing a nice job. For big guys inside, I think it's a good way to do it as long as the talent level there is close.
appear good kept relaxed
There's something to be said for the routine. I kept it like at home. They appear relaxed and under control. I have done a good job. We will see.
