Shaun Alexander Great Quotations

I believe that Seattle is really, really close to being a dominant football team. We can have a great tradition for a long time. I want to be a part of that. But fair is fair. My gut tells me Seattle will be fair.

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.

We know it is there. It is one of those things - our goal is to not just win a game, but it is to get to the Super Bowl. That is just another streak that has to come to an end. We are going to have to prepare and get ready to play a great game for that to happen.

I've been blessed to have Walt and Hutch. They go out there and they love beating up on people. It's a great situation.

We're just a team, and that's the greatest compliment that you can give.

We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.

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.

I think that is a team goal. The way I always looked at MVPs was it was a player that did really, really good on a really, really good team. That is why I am even more excited about this year, because I have put together some great numbers, but we have a great team.

That might help us. The Steelers have played great on the road in the playoffs, but this might be the closest they've had to a home game with all of the support here in Detroit.

March is so close. It's kind of surreal right now that we're in the Super Bowl and we lost, but I definitely feel like I'm about to have some of the greatest years of my life. To not have a real home yet, it's a weird feeling.

The more film I watch, the more I understand that we have to do some great things to run the ball. They stop a lot of plays. And not only that, they push running backs out of holes that they are supposed to be running into, and a lot of times they don't get credit for that. They are amazing players.

I've seen this team go from a team you would laugh at to one that you have to respect. Now we're here to play the greatest game of our lives, which we will have to do to win, and try to build a dynasty.

We're here playing the greatest game of our lives, which we're going to have to do to win.

It would always be great to have a big game in the postseason, but I don't care as long as our team wins. If I had to have nine yards again for another victory, so be it. I'll take those nine yards and I'll see you all in Detroit.

The way I always looked at MVPs was it was a player that did really, really good on a really, really good team. That is why I am even more excited about this year because I have put together some great numbers but we have a great team.

It's great to know I'm going to be in the second round of the playoffs. This is a new door for us, but it's something we've been preparing for a long time, so we're really excited.

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.

We missed some great opportunities that would have made us world champions. But at the same time, you have to give credit to Pittsburgh.

We missed some great opportunities that could have made us world champions. But give Pittsburgh credit. You don't miss for no reason.

I think the crowd did a great job at the end.

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.

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.

I don't know how people can say they played great when they lose. So I played OK. It would have been a little bit better if we would have won.
