felt last season seattle
It felt good, especially after what my last season in Seattle was like.
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 wasn't a magical run or anything like that. We have a pretty good football team and we played well over the last six weeks. We beat some good teams. We were just overmatched today.

The first thing Ray said was, 'Man, come on, now -- don't do me like that,' ... We sat there at The Cheesecake Factory and talked about everything. I told him how I'd felt about the last four years, that I was tired of taking the blame. And I came away thinking, This is the guy who's going to make me a player.
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.

We kind of laughed when we saw that they were going to open it up like that. You can't come out with four wide receivers all the time on us, not with Gregg. No one can block Gregg all game like that.

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.

You can't control that. There's nothing you can do about that,

Both are fun, they're just different. It's like having an angel and a devil - I ain't saying which one is which.

I didn't get coaching in Seattle like I did this year, ... except for my first two years.

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.

I think he did really good, ... That was a tough group of receivers to start off with, and it was good to see that he wasn't nervous. He did a good job. I was so happy he got the pick.
