40 Quotes by Shawn Springs

I was talking to the Seahawks around that time, telling them I wanted to get traded. We were bad on defense -- couldn't stop the run, couldn't pressure the passer -- and it was just killing me.

I was raised in that organization. They've seen me go from a young man to who I am today.

I didn't get coaching in Seattle like I did this year, ... except for my first two years.

I always wanted to go into his suite and eat some cookies, ... That would have been pretty cool.

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.'

He had issues with everybody focusing on his drops, not really focusing on how many plays he did make,

He said you're going to go up there and change the program.

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.

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.
