Shaun Alexander Playing Quotations

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

We look at it that we're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the winner is the best team in the world.

I think that we have a lot of guys that really need to rest up. They are playing hurt and playing beat up, which is football. But I think the timing is going to be good for us.

Where you're playing against someone when you have to be on point it's not wise to do like I did. It went from bad to worse. I was getting hits from folks I normally don't take hits from, and I fumbled the ball.

We don't care if we're overlooked or not overlooked, if we're picked to win or not picked to win. When you get to the playoffs, it's just about playing the game, looking at it for what it is, and trying to be ahead when the clock runs out.

There's never really any more pressure that a game would put on me. It's easy to stay focused for this game. One play could change the whole game and you're not playing anymore.

I told some of the guys before the game that playing aggressive and playing with passion is a choice. I said that everybody should make the choice today.
