AT THE HOLM
Mike Holmgren Q&A with the P-I's Clare Farnsworth
Q: What are you most pleased with about the team this season?
A: I'm very pleased with the involvement and the participation in our offseason program, which has generated a honest-to-goodness good feeling in that locker room. There's a feeling of optimism in there.
Q: Finally, just how close is this team to fulfilling your expectations?
A: I think we're close. I thought last year, the way we were playing down the stretch and we didn't play some of our best football on the road, but we had a chance without stretching it too much to be 12-4. Baltimore, that game got stolen from us. So we're 11-5. Then Cincinnati and Washington, we were the (pits). Without stretching it too much, we're 12-4. Then we get a home-field game here in the playoffs. Now, does that guarantee anything this year? No, it doesn't. But, like I said, we are right there. If, Matt has a good year; Koren Robinson comes back and has a good year; Walter Jones and Steve Hutchinson stay healthy. We have the people here to do this.
If you're not excited for Seahawks football right now, you might as well be dead. It's finally "now time" for the Seahawks. Can September 12 come already?
