beat defense field good home matt whoever
I think we did. They have good players, a good defense, and home field throughout. Whoever comes in here better be ready, because their defense was awesome, and Matt did enough with Shaun going down to beat us.
felt last season seattle
It felt good, especially after what my last season in Seattle was like.
accurate effective expect matt mobile tough
When you have a quarterback that's mobile and accurate like Matt is, it's pretty tough to defend. We didn't expect Matt to be as effective as he was today, and he was great.
build
When I got here, they were like, 'We're going to build around you,'
ran team
We were just overmatched. We ran into a team that was just better than us.
expect expected held mature ninth studied supposed
He's held up well, ... When you're the ninth pick, you're not supposed to look like a rookie; you're supposed to look sharp, and that's what I expect out of him. He's a very mature young man, he's studied a lot of film, and I don't look at him as a rookie. When you're a top-10 pick, you're expected to come in and play.
coaching except seattle
I didn't get coaching in Seattle like I did this year, ... except for my first two years.
change
He said you're going to go up there and change the program.
bust couple hit laugh people run stopped stuff time
He won't let you get a big hit on him, ... Just when you think you got him and you've stopped him a couple times, he'll slither out and bust one. I laugh at people all the time that are like, 'I don't like Shaun Alexander; he doesn't run tough,' and stuff like that. I tell them, 'You say what you want to, he'll bust one on you for about 40, 50 yards.'
everybody focusing issues plays
He had issues with everybody focusing on his drops, not really focusing on how many plays he did make,
eat
I always wanted to go into his suite and eat some cookies, ... That would have been pretty cool.
block four game kindness laughed open saw time wide
We kind of laughed when we saw that they were going to open it up like that. You can't come out with four wide receivers all the time on us, not with Gregg. No one can block Gregg all game like that.
battling bombed night playing sunday
We've been playing well so far. Let's keep it at that. I don't want to go out Sunday night and get bombed or something like that. We've been playing well, and we've just been battling through injuries.
control
You can't control that. There's nothing you can do about that,
