If a guy becomes available the caliber of a Peter Warrick, we're probably going to bring him in. I think then you're doing your due diligence. I'm looking for a guy to catch every pass we throw to him.
I don't expect that and he knows it. He might not throw another one like that. But that was bad.
There were a couple of times we could have gotten the ball to Peter, and they probably would have been pretty good plays, and we just didn't throw it to him. He's going to get nothing but better. He's a good addition for us.
I was afraid I was going to break furniture and throw the monitor out the window. It's just hard because we had our chances and we didn't capitalize.
I think we made a little mistake last year not throwing him in there sooner. He would have struggled a little bit, but when he did play, he was very good.
Our trainers thought it would be good to give him a rest throwing the ball today.
They have you outnumbered just a little bit. Now it is safer, I suppose, than throwing a pass, but you can't worry too much about that.
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.
It was a nice second half. The team played very, very well, especially in the second half.
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.
