(On how confident he is in a big play happening when corners are pressing) “Well, I’m confident in it because we have practiced that since I’ve been here. Our defense is always prided itself on being able to come up and play press against any receiver in the league. Going up against Sherm (Richard Sherman) for a number of years has really allowed all of us to get that experience. The younger guys, David Moore for example, has done a great job of watching film and watching what I do, what Tyler (Lockett) has done (and) what other guys have done and utilized that and put it into his repertoire. He’s done an excellent job of that, so when we have those opportunities, when we see those matchups, we’re extremely confident because we know how hard we’ve worked in those situations.”
(On David Moore showing late on his touchdown catch) “It’s extremely difficult. I think the person who probably showed him the most of how to do that was Paul Richardson when he was here. Paul was extremely talented at late hands catches. David has kind of seen how that could help him, and he has the ability to do it. Not everybody has the ability to do it, and David has really worked hard at it and he’s obviously extremely successful. I’m not surprised at his success when he’s in those situations and doing it because he’s worked so hard at it.”
(On Tyler Lockett having the sense to break free on the final long play) “Tyler’s been doing that for a very long time. He’s getting a lot more opportunities in those situations now and he’s doing the same thing he’s always done, so it’s not surprising that he made that play and the fact that we have a scrambling quarterback, we’ve practiced this several times throughout the course of the year so it’s nothing new to us and Tyler (had) excellent decision-making in that situation.”
