Matt Hasselbeck Great Quotations

Obviously, he brings a lot to our offense. He's one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He's had a great year when he's been out there and he's a playmaker. So having his athleticism and his speed and quickness on the field, I think is going to be a breath of fresh air for our offense.

Knowing Chike -- he's a guy with a great pass rush and he's got a motor -- I don't think any quarterback gets excited about going up against him. I think our guys, hopefully, will be up to the task.

I can think of a lot of great quarterbacks that never won the Super Bowl. It's not something that I'm hung up on.

When he went down, their guys were excited and our crowd answered back in a great way with kind of an MVP chant. It was good for our offense and we felt we actually had the momentum after that.

He was a great tight end. I bet him 100 bucks that he'd play tight end for us some day, and I lost the bet. I paid him 100 bucks. I wrote him a check. When I did it, it was more of 'You're a heck of an athlete. Whatever you put your mind to, you can get it done.' That's really what I was trying to say.

He has been great and very supportive and patient. To have him as an owner, the way he treats us and the way he gets excited for the game is great.

He had another incredible play against Detroit on a screen. I've watched all their games and he's great every game.

He doesn't get the respect that he probably deserves. He's a great player for us and always has been since I've been here.

Some of those people are former players here. Some are coaches that have been around or people in the building. Or maybe it's just some of the people from Seattle who have followed the team since 1976. It would mean a great deal to them.

Part of me really wants to enjoy it, and part of me realizes that we have another game coming up. I hope people are taking a lot of pictures so we can look back on it. I'm a little bit in shock right now. It's a great feeling, but I'm kind of at a loss for words.

I'm in a little bit of shock right now. It's a great feeling.

Robbie's here, he's earned it, it's a great honor. We joke about it at home, but he's got to be the leader of the offensive line out here.

We could have lost this game. They've got some great leadership on this team. To come in here like that and play like this, the defense was just awesome.

Yeah, he was a little quiet, didn't necessarily hang with everybody, but he was a professional, worked really hard, great teammate and a veteran guy who'd been around awhile,

We climbed to just about the top of the mountain. We were like 10 feet away and had to turn around and go back. It was a great journey and a lot of good came from it, but at the same time, we didn't finish what we set out to do.

We understand that this is Jerome Bettis' hometown and that he's going to get a lot of the attention. He's a classy guy who's had a great career. You can see why it's kind of hard for us to compete against that for attention.

Detroit's been great. I've actually had a great time. The weather has been great. I've said many times, we've had police escorts everywhere we go in every city, and these are definitely the best police escorts. I don't know if they practice at home on the weekends or what, but these guys know what they're doing.

I'm happy for him, ... It's a feather in their cap when things like that happen. Unselfish play by everybody and Shaun having a great year, it's a winning combination for our offense.

I'm happy for him. It's a feather in their cap when things like that happen. Unselfish play by everybody and Shaun having a great year, it's a winning combination for our offense.

Everyone can take a great deal of pride in having helped Shaun accomplish what he did.

The biggest thing was how great our defense was playing. Shortening the field, creating turnovers, all that kind of stuff makes an offense?s job much easier.

It was like an away game for us, there's no question about that. But if there were 90 percent Steelers fans and 10 percent Seahawks fans, I thought at least the Seahawks fans were just as loud, if not louder at times. I give those Seahawks fans a lot of credit. They did a great job.

It's a great feeling in our locker room right now, because we did come together. There is something a little bit more special about fighting through adversity and hanging in there in a tough game against a really good defense. Guys get hurt. Pork Chop Womack filled in at left tackle for Walter Jones for a couple of plays. He said something like, 'Did I make you nervous in there when Walt was out?' I told him no.

It was really a team win today. It's just really a great feeling right now to win this game.

I don't overlook them; I think they're great. Our field position has been great all year, and our defense has created turnovers.

He's meant a lot to us, in our careers and as a friend. It looked like he was having a lot of fun. If he does choose to go out that way, it's a great way to go out.
