agent came free hungry pick rookie steve succeed trying
Steve came in as a hungry rookie and even as a first-round pick he came in as hungry to succeed as I did when I came in as a rookie free agent who was just trying to make the team.
coaches either impressed motivate negative team trying
A lot of coaches motivate by being negative all the time. A lot of coaches motivate by trying to be a players' coach, and everything. I don't think he does either of those. I've always been impressed for his feel for the team and what to say in situations.
behind broke busted catch college happens huge nice running trying unheard yards
In the NFL, 300 yards rushing, that is unheard of. You look in college and you see those games. I don't know how often that happens in the NFL, but I know it's rare. That's a huge, huge thing. It's funny, we were in the huddle before Mo (Morris) broke off that long 49-yard run, and I said, 'Hey, let's get Mo a hundred, let's get Mo a hundred.' And he said, 'Hey, I'm running behind you guys.' He busted out through there and it was nice to see. I was trying to catch him, but I was tired.
magic talked work
I think we have a lot of pride, and I think we work well together. There's no magic here. It's never really talked about, and if it is talked about, it's only in passing.
gotten identity impressed matt obviously protection
I'm impressed with the group, as a unit. The protection Matt has gotten and obviously the yardage Shaun is piling up, you've got to put it right on them. It's the identity of our team.
bet chop close good group guys joke joking knowing played pork practicing sean wednesday
I was joking with Pork Chop (Womack) after the game: 'Man, I bet you're going to be practicing on Wednesday because Sean played pretty good,' ... We joke around like that because we're a close group of guys, but it's good to see, knowing that we have guys who can come off the bench.
against beat football good laid line played team
We had opportunities. And against a good football team, you have to make every one of them count. We just couldn't finish. We could have played better, but we laid it on the line and got beat by a team that played better than we did today.
assume history last sit teams
Those were two different teams last year. It's a new season, a new team. Yeah, we have a history with these guys, (but) they can't sit here and say, 'Well, we did it last year, so we'll be able to do it this year.' And we can't sit here and assume that we'll be able to get it done.
genuinely grateful knowing loves thankful town
We're genuinely grateful for our fans. That's why we went out to say thanks, too. I'm really thankful being part of this team, especially knowing how this town loves the Seahawks.
field football four great remember running sit spread wide
With three-receiver sets, you spread the field. Sometimes, we'll do some run-and-shoot. We'll sit back with one back and four wide receivers and do that. I remember the run-and-shoot in Atlanta. We always had a 1,000-yard rusher every year. We had a 1,000-yard rusher because we spread the field. There are running lanes open, and Shaun is a great open-field runner.
ball plays ran three threw
When it comes down to it, they threw the ball and ran the ball on three plays better than we did.
far noticed speaking speech vocal
He's been more vocal as far as speaking out with a rah-rah speech before games. I've noticed it, and it's been good.
amazes block field gets good great hole open setting
He's a great open field runner. If we can just get him a hole to get through and he gets through that hole, he's just so good at setting things up. It amazes me sometimes how well he does set up a block in the open field.
hard separates smart studies
He's a smart, smart guy. He studies hard and that's what separates him from the other guys.
