What'd you tell him? |
Whatever we may have lost in talent, we gained in accountability and professionalism and leadership. |
When he went down, their guys were excited and our crowd answered back in a great way with kind of an MVP chant. It was good for our offense and we felt we actually had the momentum after that. |
When I first got here, people talked about the 12th Man at Husky Stadium, and I didn't believe it. When we moved into Qwest Field, it's been different, especially the last three years. I've played in a lot of stadiums, and this is the loudest. Dome or no dome, our fans, for whatever reason, know how to get loud. |
When I said that, whenever it was, two years ago, that's how it was, having fun with some good friends. It's just a sign of the friendship. There's a core group of guys when I played here. There was something special about that team. |

You feel like you're getting worse as a player. You can't throw a spiral, and you can't throw a 5-yard pass that you could throw as a 9-year-old, because you're thinking about too many things. |
You have heard the same talks and speeches that he's given for the past five year, but now, since we're moving deeper into the playoffs, his wisdom and his experience are really coming out. It's really fresh for us because we've never been in that situation. There's a lot of wisdom and experience there. |
You have to find him on every play. On every play. |
You have to know where he is on every play. Every play. |
