Walter is undoubtedly one of, if not the top, offensive lineman in the league. We've played next to each other for five years now, and the continuity we have and the bond we've formed, that's been key. |
We found a way to win. The last couple years, in close games, we'd find a way to lose. |
We kind of knocked the rust off a little bit. We had a light practice, meetings, got back into it a little bit and tried to get back in a normal schedule. (Monday) was a good start for us. |
We were kind of shocked. We didn't know what happened. It felt like we rear-ended someone at 10 mph, but there was no car in front of us. It was kind of weird. |
We'd been hearing that our team had the worst defense of the 12 teams that made the playoffs. They proved people wrong today. Can you play any better than that? |
We're just as proud of it as Shaun is. |
We're out here on the West Coast, as far away as you can get from the East Coast and your [ESPN] studios and most of the media. As long as we can fly under the radar and just keep playing well, that doesn't bother us. |
We're really coming into our own. But that's what happens when you've been together four or five years. The entire offense is trying to take our game to the next level. |
We've gotten to where we just flow with the play. But that's going to be tested this week. |
What else is he supposed to say, 'We're going to try and lose? Every player is supposed to think his team is going to win. |
What we did do in that game was to find out what worked and what didn't. I'm sure we will try to utilize some of that stuff. |
When he said it, everybody wanted to scream. But nobody had the energy and it took a couple of minutes to sink in. |
You really don't need it (then). This year, it's kind of smack dab in the middle, which is nice. You can really take advantage of it. You can really use the rest. |
