They [the NFL] implemented the injunction ... and the rest is history. It was a very weird time. I've fortunately been around for a lot of awkward moments in the history of this team for the last 13 years. |
They do a great job of bringing them. They corner blitz, they bring the safety, they bring linebackers. So you have to be ready on almost every play that they're going to bring somebody. |
They're going to try to stop Shaun? Wow, news flash. I feel like we have a balanced enough offense that if Shaun gets 50 yards, if that's all he's got, we can still win the football game. If Washington comes out and tries to put eight, nine guys in the box, then we're going to have a great day passing the football. It's going to be incredible. I think it's going to be hard for them to defend us. |
This is a dream come true. |
This is a great football team. I love the guys in this locker room. |
This will probably be one of the most physical football games that has ever been. Pittsburgh's reputation speaks for itself, and people seemingly don't know a whole lot about us, but we're a pretty physical team as well. |
Those guys will be Seahawks forever. I know that they've been an inspiration to us, just the standard that they set years ago, and hopefully they can feel a part of this. |
To be honest with you, I didn't see it coming back then. I'd be lying if I said I did. But you just keep plugging away. You just keep working hard, and good things happen. |
We are going to play for the NFC Championship; that is not something you hear everyday. |
We are not there yet. We still have a lot of work to do. |
We basically came from the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10, just coming off a 2-14 season. We were a struggling bunch, and I didn't know if my whole career was going to be marked by disappointment. |
We came from basically the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10 and had just come off a 2-14 season and . . . had the third-worst offense in the history of the NFL. We were a struggling bunch. I didn't know if my whole career would be marked by disappointment. |
We didn't have time to sob or sulk or anything else. It shows we're a complete team. It's not just about one guy. Whether you play one play or 70 plays, we needed it all today. |
We get to see it Mondays. It is weird watching a guy block another player -- a great player -- and knock him backwards. You see as the game goes along that the guys are trying to get as far away from Walt as they can. |
We have no real clue of the magnitude of this win. Maybe years down the road when the Seahawks are perennial contenders for the Super Bowl, it might not be such a big deal, but right now, this is the biggest game ever in this organization's history. |
