[After receiving the first installment of his $10 million signing bonus, Springs changed allegiances.] 'Hail to the Redskins.' Yeah, ... I became a Redskins fan. |
[Of course, the defense won the game, overcoming sub-par passing, a special teams turnover that led to the Bears' only points, and the opponent. Williams runs from credit, but he's getting it whether he likes it or not.] Just when you think you've got us figured out, ... he's got another package, he's come up with something else. We knew we had to come after [Orton] today, mentally and physically. Muhsin Muhammad even told me before the game, 'We know what you're going to try to do to him.' |
[The blunt and cantankerous Rhodes, who resigned after two years in Denver as Mike Shanahan's defensive coordinator -- the Broncos had the league's sixth-ranked unit last season but were shaky in the red zone and on third down -- is being hailed as a savior by the Seahawks' veteran defenders. Springs, whose contract expires after this season, isn't sure whether this will be his last year in Seattle, but he's certainly excited about the season ahead.] If I look bad in Ray Bob's defense, ... then I can't play. |
[The Redskins rattled him, as they should have. No rookie quarterback should go on the road and in his first start beat a team with a defense as good as the one the Redskins have. You hit him, you throw stuff at him he's never seen. You act as if you're in one defense when you're really in another. You put people on the field he's not expecting. You play to your strengths. You expect to pitch a shutout.] That's what we talked about, ... giving up nothing. |
After checking Galloway and Glenn, everybody else in the Big Ten was like a cupcake. |
As a player, if you're about the team, you do what you can to help them. |
As a player, you're about the team. You do the best you can do to help out the team. |
Both are fun, they're just different. It's like having an angel and a devil - I ain't saying which one is which. |
He had issues with everybody focusing on his drops, not really focusing on how many plays he did make, |
He said he didn't do it, so I don't think he did it. |
He said you're going to go up there and change the program. |
He won't let you get a big hit on him, ... Just when you think you got him and you've stopped him a couple times, he'll slither out and bust one. I laugh at people all the time that are like, 'I don't like Shaun Alexander; he doesn't run tough,' and stuff like that. I tell them, 'You say what you want to, he'll bust one on you for about 40, 50 yards.' |
He's held up well, ... When you're the ninth pick, you're not supposed to look like a rookie; you're supposed to look sharp, and that's what I expect out of him. He's a very mature young man, he's studied a lot of film, and I don't look at him as a rookie. When you're a top-10 pick, you're expected to come in and play. |
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. |
I always looked up to those guys, |
