Shaun Alexander Time Quotations

Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them.

When you're on the road, there's no time for second chances and messing yourself up.

Do I think I can take 20 carries now? Well, I think finally last week and this is week was probably the first time I could probably say, yeah, I could take 20 carries and go do some damage.

My mom told me a long time ago that running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. It just comes with the position.

My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad.

I think whenever you play football, at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport. Every week and every play, you have to play like it's your last. I'll just go out there and play hard, and that's the best I can do.

I think that whenever you play football at any time it could be your last play. I think that's the great thing about this sport.

Fair is fair. I believe that Seattle is really, really close to being a dominant team. And I want to be a part of that, but at the same time fair is fair.

They said it was time to come home and I knew what that meant.

I want to score every time I touch the ball, whether it is one yard or 99 yards. I just want to go out and make a play.

It's really funny because it was already in my mind to come in anyway. I prayed about it. It was just time. I knew this team could be special. I just felt like it was my time to come in. Tim made that offer as a gesture of goodwill when he didn't know me. It's all going to work out. I believe in that.

At the same time you still have that gut-wrenching feeling that one more catch, one more run, one more tackle, and we'd be known as world champions.

He's telling us everything before it happens. When it happens, you're like, 'OK, he's right.' Hopefully, during the game there's going to be some time he says, 'OK, this is going to be the next thing that happens,' and we're all going to trust and believe whatever he says.

They've seen that tape, too. They're going to do some things better this time around than they did last time.

It's not a denial thing. It's not like it's not happening. But, to me, you have got to play football first. We're not trying to be financial guys, accountants or businessmen. We're football players. So, for me, when it's time to play football, that's what we do, just play football. Business and money and contracts all take care of themselves.

We missed some opportunities, but at the same time you have to give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.

It's going to be a fun time in the playoffs.
