"It was crazy," Alexander said. "We all got tossed around a bit inside. But we're all okay."
Alexander said the players were in the second of two vans transporting the Seahawks. He said the first van was full of public relations personnel and cleared the gate safely -- "of course," he joked.
Cowher Faces Up
Steelers Coach Bill Cowher's chiseled profile and massive chin are camera magnets -- particularly when he's in mid-scowl. Claiming that "I smile a lot, too," he admitted, "sometimes I let my emotions get the best of me, but you've got to be yourself." . . .
Seattle's Pro Bowl-bound rookie middle linebacker, Lofa Tatupu, said he is no longer feeling the effects of the slight concussion he suffered in a collision with Carolina Panthers tailback Nick Goings during the NFC title game. Tatupu finished the game. Goings exited with a concussion. "I'm all right," Tatupu said. "I'm back to normal. All the cobwebs are gone. I feel good." . . .
Holmgren said he is "somewhat optimistic" that Seahawks safety Ken Hamlin will be able to resume his career. Hamlin has been unable to play since suffering a fractured skull, a blood clot and bruised brain tissue during a mid-October incident with two men outside a Seattle nightclub.
"It was a sad thing that happened to Kenny," Holmgren said. "The good thing is, he has his health up. I can't tell you what his football future is, but he will be there Sunday. He had an emotional impact on this team before his injury and after."
