With the coaches, you don't want to hear everybody saying, 'Move over! Back up! Do this!' Let's find out what the players know.

I think it's important that we go through everything together as a team.

I've been around some really good guys from different teams.

I think different teams have different challenges as you go through.

When you are hoping for a call or want something different, I think you lose your edge.

I don't second-guess our playcalling or wanting to throw it. Honestly, we've got terrific guys. We know how to matchup. We know how to get open. That part of our game is so intact.

Oftentimes, you have to be able to throw it in order to run it.

Their practice habits are terrific. I've been around some really good guys from different teams in terms of bringing it to practice. When I was in San Francisco, Bryant Young was that way. Every practice on it.

I think some people have a rare ability to focus. As a player, Earl Thomas has it. When he was at practice or in a game, he was always on; he was right there.

I think that's the ultimate sign of a teammate and respect is that they compete against one another so hard at practice that here's a chance to share some knowledge inside. It takes some humility to do that.

Communication isn't just directing a guy on what to do: it's passing the information along to the guy that's next to you, and that's where we make the calls come to life.

We're not Seattle East. We're our own Atlanta, and there are definitely things I learned from Coach Carroll. He had probably the single biggest influence on my coaching career.
