(On the perception that the defense this year has regressed from previous seasons)
"It's always the same. It's always the same. We limit people, we don't give up a lot of yards. Whether the outside world realizes it or not is indifferent to us. Obviously, we're always going to be in top two, top three, No. 1 most of the time in yards, scoring. I'm sure we're top three in all of those – passing yards, rushing yards. People just lose (sight of) that sometimes in a season. We just stay the course and continue to do what we've always done."
(On what players think about Marshawn Lynch rehabbing away from the team)
"They're good with it. Whatever works. Different strokes for different folks. We know when that guy comes in the building and he gets on the field, there's nobody like him. There's nobody who's giving more effort, who's going to sacrifice more for their team. There's no question about his loyalty to the team or his work ethic or anything like that. That guy is exactly who we think he is. If he needs to rehab at home, we're all for it. We know he keeps the team first in his heart, so we have no questions about his intentions or anything."
(His assessment of the way he's played this season given how he's moved around more than ever before)
"Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. I think I played good football. I think I've given up, what, 29 completions on the year. That'd be a great year for anybody but me, but it's an off year for me. It's just one of those things, you try to do your best to do your job. Try to be there when they need you to, be prepared when it comes because some games it doesn't come. Some games you don't have to travel, some games you don't have to move at all. I just try to stay mentally prepared when it does, and I think I've done a good job."
(On whether he's seen the film "Concussion" yet)
"I have not. I see a concussion movie every Sunday. For free. Don't need to go to the theater."
