You can't play this game if you're not having fun. This game is played on so much emotion that when you're out there, you have to get after it a little bit.

You can't put just anybody back there and simulate what Mike can do. With Seneca here, he's really going to give us a good look.

He's an amazing athlete. It's always exciting to get a sack on him. It's really rewarding, and it takes a load off your shoulders.

I don't really want to get caught in the middle of it. It's something that meant a lot to me when I was down there at A&M. The 12th Man is huge. The fans are just unbelievable. Same thing in Seattle.

Chuck and Grant really worry about stuff like that because they're team guys, and it's working out really well for everybody now. I'm not trying to be selfish, but the difference this year is everybody's really working together.

In years past, that's what has hurt us: our defense. We pretty much had all new faces on defense (in 2005), so you never knew how things would turn out. But we've done pretty well.

I'm not taking anything away from the Steelers' defense, but hopefully now people will be talking about both of our defenses. Nobody talks about us, so we have to go out and prove it every week.

I just want to stay clear of that. I play here and I went to school there. I have strong feelings for both places.

I mean, if a team just goes out and overpowers you, then you're like, 'Hey, we got beat.' But I think we beat ourselves.

I'm glad the world got to see that.
