We were definitely shocked. We want to keep them to no points, and I don’t care if it’s the best offense in the league. We can’t give up 17 points in the first quarter. We...

It’s his first start. We knew it was going to be a little rough on him. We knew he would give us opportunities and he did.

It’s about going out there, no matter who you’re playing. People try to put hype on it like they did last week, like it was the biggest game ever. No it wasn’t. It was the...

(Colts linebackers) David Thornton and Gary Brackett helped me out a tremendous amount, basically teaching me how to play the position.

Reading the quarterback is a simple thing. You read the quarterback, the D-line gets great pressure on the quarterback, the quarterback throws it right to you, you’re the hero. That’s always fun.

We have a lot of fighters on this team. There’s no quit in us. We’ve been down before. We’ll buckle down, get out there and handle business.

They took a long road to get there, and they made it happen. Troy and Joey, they’re great playmakers. It’s going to be fun to play with them instead of playing against them.

It’s not about (the Seahawks), really. It’s about us. It’s about us being prepared for the weeks to come. We have to get our momentum back.

We were able to come back today. We showed a lot of character and stayed poised and didn’t get down, … But we have to come in next week and try to do better.

They didn’t want (Smith) to hold it very long because Mathis and Freeney and those guys, they’re coming. That gives our back seven an opportunity to key in on receivers.

Playing linebacker is completely different than playing safety. You’re in the mix every play and those big linemen get on you real fast.

When the opportunity came to make big plays, we made them.

I saw him helping us out a lot on special teams and on the defense. He’s a playmaker. Unfortunately, whatever happened, we’re there for him.

I take my hat off to our D-line. They force a lot of quarterbacks to throw under pressure. They’ll make any quarterback nervous.

We expect to make the playoffs. That’s nothing. We have a bigger goal. We’re taking it week-by-week. Next week, we have a goal — to clinch our division.

That sounds pretty good for the time being. But you can’t really think about that because we’ve got a job to do. They’re throwing the football to us, and, fortunately, I’m catching them.

Switching positions was probably the easiest thing for me to do. All I have to do is sit there in zone coverage, and that’s helped me a lot. It’s really just a matter of playing...

We were 17 down. We had to go out and get the ball back, … Seventeen points in the first quarter, that can’t happen.
