Highlights from the interview...

-Things have changed in 4 years with team. Pisa said he wanted to continue being a Ram because he knew they had chemistry but just needed some more pieces.

-Linehan/Haslett wanted him around a lot and told management, or so he thinks. Says he doesn't know much about how it happens, he leaves it to his agent.

-Thinks he fits the mold of the kind of player Linehan wants on this team, a guy who will go out there and play hurt and not quit.

-Bottom line - we're winning. Everyone wants to be part of a good thing, and he knew this was a good thing, but it's amazing to see it come to fruition.

-Could be a statement game for the Rams this weekend, but for the Rams, their attitude is the next game is the most important. Great character team who are all focused on winning.

-Holmgren is a great coach w/ great system. Hurting in the running game but make up for it with receivers.

-Chicago is a great defense and everyone is trying to be as good as they are. Thinks Holmgren offense vs. Haslett defense will be a great battle.

-Seattle O-line hasn't changed that much, still a good quality O-line. Couple new guys, but emphasized the system. Had some bad breaks protecting the QB but they've done well.

-Has great respect for Bulger, has ice flowing through his veins. Has self-control to control emotions. Has a great talent.

-Expect to see a good bit of Deion Branch. Said Seattle is banged up a bit at the receiver spot, they'll be prepared to see Branch.

-Stevens brings a comfort level with Hasselbeck, but if he's in, oh well. It's all about reacting and playing off each other.

-Thing that has changed the most for the Rams from 2005 to 2006 is an improved focus.

The 2 keys in mind are chemistry and improved focus. Funny thing is that Mike Martz obviuosly had it and lost it. How long will Linehan be able to hang on to it ?
