I always wanted to go into his suite and eat some cookies, ... That would have been pretty cool.
bad defense pressure stop talking telling
I was talking to the Seahawks around that time, telling them I wanted to get traded. We were bad on defense -- couldn't stop the run, couldn't pressure the passer -- and it was just killing me.

I was raised in that organization. They've seen me go from a young man to who I am today.
capable depth game great guys hurt last players quality short walt week
It's a short week. I strained it last week and that was the first game I wasn't able to finish. We have enough depth and enough quality players that I don't want to do anything that would hurt the team. We have guys like Walt (Harris) and Carlos (Rogers) who are very capable and are doing a great job.

It might have been a different game if there was an interception returned for a touchdown.

In the locker room, they would tell me, 'Go get me a jock strap in the back room' or something, ... So I would go over to the Cowboys complex. Bill Bates would say, 'Shawn, go get me a Gatorade.'
capitalize good matt seen
Hey, Matt's a good player, man; I've seen him do it before. If Shaun's not the MVP, it's not like Matt couldn't be. He can move. We didn't capitalize like we should.
He said he didn't do it, so I don't think he did it.
battling bombed night playing sunday
We've been playing well so far. Let's keep it at that. I don't want to go out Sunday night and get bombed or something like that. We've been playing well, and we've just been battling through injuries.
accurate effective expect matt mobile tough
When you have a quarterback that's mobile and accurate like Matt is, it's pretty tough to defend. We didn't expect Matt to be as effective as he was today, and he was great.
