It was more my son that I had to calm down. He was devastated. But it was just one of those things. Like I told my son, I’m just glad I’ve played so long that...

That would set him head and shoulders above anyone who has ever coached. Heck, even now, he has to be considered one of the greats. He always seems to know the pulse of this team.

I think that, more than anything, character is the key to winning in this league. [Now] you don’t have guys doing oddball things, and [you have] guys with a work ethic. I think we’re a...

I think we have a lot of pride, and I think we work well together. There’s no magic here. It’s never really talked about, and if it is talked about, it’s only in passing.

Hopefully that’s the case. I know this team’s played in the championship game before and there’s been a lot of great Seahawks teams and players. Not to take anything away from them.

It was just a reaction. We ended up getting, I don’t know 8 to 10 yards on the play.

It hurts. It really, really hurts.

He’s a handful, when you can get your hands on him.

Hey, we’ve got pads on, … Where are yours? It’s not a day off.

A lot of pent up stuff got released. Big sweaty guys were hugging each other. A lot of tears. A lot of screaming. A lot of guys jumping around. A lot of high fives. This...

It’s good to have a win, but this is a team we should have beaten. That’s the thing that’s encouraging not the fact we won this game, but that we didn’t slip and make it...

Steve came in as a hungry rookie and even as a first-round pick he came in as hungry to succeed as I did when I came in as a rookie free agent who was just...

He’s been more vocal as far as speaking out with a rah-rah speech before games. I’ve noticed it, and it’s been good.

I was joking with Pork Chop (Womack) after the game: ‘Man, I bet you’re going to be practicing on Wednesday because Sean played pretty good,’ … We joke around like that because we’re a close...

I never take shots at his head, or his looks, or the way he dressed, or anything. And those are things that I could easily do.

I’m not going to hit the panic button.

Now, it’s like last week. Guys were like, ‘We won. We expected to win. Now, who’s next?’

The last few years, we’ve been in these games and we haven’t been on the right side of them. I’m glad we got over that hump today.

When it comes down to it, they threw the ball and ran the ball on three plays better than we did.

Those were two different teams last year. It’s a new season, a new team. Yeah, we have a history with these guys, (but) they can’t sit here and say, ‘Well, we did it last year,...
