I would love to see him more, but that is not really my call.
Some of us Seahawks feel that we let the NFC down this past week. So we've got to step it up a little bit. We owe these guys.
Some of those people are former players here. Some are coaches that have been around or people in the building. Or maybe it's just some of the people from Seattle who have followed the team since 1976. It would mean a great deal to them.
My only eligible receivers were on that side of the field and I didn't have enough on the ball.
That was fun n a little sloppy at times, but some of the most exciting plays I've seen all year. Coach Fox promised, by the end of the week, 'We'll put a smile on your face.' All the Seattle guys were smiling.
That was fun -- a little sloppy at times, but some of the most exciting plays I've seen all year.
Like we've all seen, Shaun Alexander plays his best games in the spotlight.
I was happy to be in the NFL, living the dream. I'd get to play in the preseason when Brett would play a series or two and I got to play a quarter and a half and my whole family would come to town for the game. They never wanted tickets for the playoff games or the regular-season games, just the preseason games.

I think most of us are just really worried for him. It's one of those things where you don't expect it to happen to you or to anybody you know.
We knew that he would fit nicely in our offense,
We just weren't that good. The product on the field wasn't very good, and that is a frustrating thing.
We thought that maybe we would struggle a little bit more than we did, ... But those guys played great.
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.
