excitement felt link missing since soon walked
I haven't felt this much excitement since I've been here. I feel he is the missing link to our defense. As soon as he walked in there was excitement around here.
facing jane
And it's not like I've been facing Tom, Dick or Jane out there.
justin stray
If Stray can't play we'll just put Justin in and keep on going,
whatever
It's all on us. We have to win. Whatever it takes.
coming fact good twice
Justin's been coming along. In fact he's twice as good as I was when I was a rookie,
cause confidence havoc lacking
I don't think we're ever lacking in confidence because of what we've done all season. Now we need to just get back there and cause some havoc again.
everybody matter recognizes sooner whoever
Absolutely. I don't see why not. Whoever we play, they know they'll be in for a battle. It doesn't matter who they are. The sooner everybody recognizes that, the better off everyone will be.
guess stick
So I guess we got the better end of the stick right there.

It was supposedly their home game, but we just played like it was our home game.

football good match might pittsburgh win
Pittsburgh's going to win and I think it's going to be pretty bad. I think Pittsburgh might win by 10 or 14 points. Seattle's a good football team, but I just don't think they'll be able to match up.
carries doubt gap job mind miss presence stay thinking
It's not like we're out there thinking about it, but there's not a doubt in my mind that we miss Antonio. We miss his presence on the field, everything about him, the way he carries himself. But I don't think anybody's out there thinking, 'Oh, Antonio's not here, we can't get it done.' We have one job to do most times, one gap to cover. You've just got to stay in your gap and do your job and not think about anything else.
follow footsteps life seen stuff teach tells tries
He pretty much tells you how to follow in his footsteps and tries to teach you a lot of things about life that he's seen and you haven't seen. He's seen a lot of stuff in the N.F.L.
