There are a lot of times during games where Seymour had that type of emotion. That’s what made him so successful. I remember talking to him in the huddle at times trying to calm him down. Not in a confrontational way, because that would have been dangerous, but looking him in the eye and asking him if we were going to be OK. You tried to bring that emotional level down, but make no mistake, that emotion is what makes Richard one of the most dominant defensive tackles in the game.
