I went out here and tried as hard as I could. It wasn't for lack of effort. I didn't make those plays. I'll hold onto this because I don't want to forget how it feels to lose in this manner, especially feeling so responsible. |
I worked a little bit harder in the weight room. I tried to hang around Matt (Hasselbeck) and Seneca (Wallace), the quarterbacks, a little bit more, just so they can get a feel for how I run my routes. I think it's paying off. |
If we had a short field, some of those drives would have been scoring drives. We just played on the wrong side of the field today. |
If you start out poorly like that, the tension only mounts every game. |
It definitely was overblown. We don't need to talk about it other than it's in the past and guys are making plays on the ball. |
It doesn't matter what anybody thinks. The bottom line was I had a chance to make some plays, and I didn't make them. I hurt our team's chances. |
It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. The bottom line is that I didn't get it done. |
It was huge. We've lost that battle the past few games. It was the fruits of our labor, man -- we got on their side of the field and we were able to score. It's proof positive that if we win the field-position battle, we have a much better chance of winning the game. |
It's a heartwarming story and all that, but it will be a sad day when he leaves without that trophy. |
It's kind of the in-vogue position right now. There are a lot of great athletes coming out of college and trying to get recognized. |
It's part of the deal. When you come to the Super Bowl, people look for stories. |
Joey's a great player. I look forward to the challenge. |
Matt does a good job of not letting a guy get in his head. I don't know what Peppers was talking about. He didn't have that great of a game. |
My attitude is to play the best game I can and not let it affect my performance. It won't. I won't allow it to. I don't respond to that. I don't feel the need. I'll be out there Sunday. I hope he will be too. |
My teammates said they support me 100 percent. They don't feel that I was intentionally disrespectful. |
