Shaun Alexander Mike Quotations

Mike is just so key for us as a team, as a group of young men trying to grow up.

Mike likes all things to be done on the field.

Mike said from the very beginning, that we are always going to be the 'other' team.

Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play.

Mike says when you get to Detroit everything goes by so fast that you really don't even feel like it's real preparation.

Everything that happens, he always tells us before it happens. So it's kind of like, 'Oh, Mike said this.' That gives you great confidence in everything, that it's going to happen exactly how he said, so you can be relaxed and comfortable.

You are making Mike look like a genius. Hopefully, we can prove you right Sunday.

When we played the Redskins the first time, that's the thing that Mike finally let Matt take control of, change things for the better for our team. And our whole practice and schemes and what we called just changed after that day. ... It has made us a better football team just letting Matt have enough control.

This is all new to us. Mike tells us all just to enjoy the ride.
