PFW: What do you guys need to do to get back to the Super Bowl?
McGinest: That’s up to the organization and the coaching staff to figure out. I just know as a player, I have to stay on top of my game, work hard, come in shape and doing the things I need to do. And if everybody takes that approach, we’ll be all right.
This part of Willie's interview was the most interesting to me, just the human nature kind of thing. Not used to saying goodbye without having won it all.
PFW: Was that the feeling you had after the Denver game in the divisional playoffs? Was it an empty feeling?
McGinest: Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty empty, pretty sad. Especially just coming into the locker room and during the exit physicals and all that stuff. It was something that I didn’t like at all, a lot of guys didn’t like. It was funny because a lot of guys didn’t know how to say bye to each other or see you later next year. It was kind of awkward, you know?
