For years, the battle cry of the Seahawks and the Seahawks alone pre-game was;

"WE ALL WE GOT!!! WE ALL WE NEED!!!"

It was chanted as shouts in concert between huddled up Seahawks players to get them revved up before a game. We've all seen the video. So this past season I noticed other teams shouting "We all we got!" I was a bit alarmed but not too much since this is a copycat league, and we all know how many teams have taken fruit from the Seahawks table over the past four or five years.

But then I heard a team (I can't remember who at the moment but it was in the playoffs) shouting "We all we got!! We all we need!" and I was like, "Really?!?"

Now pardon me, it's the offseason and all, I get it, but that just bugged me for some reason. Anyone else notice that?

I think a lot of teams have been doing that. I think the Saints were saying it way back when, before the Who Dat? chants.

I don't think it was all that original with us.

Say wha?! Is that true?? You mean to tell me the Seahawks were not the originators of that battle call?

No sweat guys. I'm willing to be proven wrong. It has happened from time to time.

That's probably so old I think the Vikings used it when they were bombing Pearl Harbor back in the 16th century.

I heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir used it before a big gig to hype themselves up.

It was the Patriots. Red Bryant took it there, probably, because he originated it in Seattle (I think).

And yeah, it pissed me off, too.

I thought I heard the Rams reciting it before they played the Falcons in the Wild-Card game in LA. Saw a few folks tweet about it.

After the superbowl the hawks changed ours to " It's all about me and I need more cash"...

The players carry it with them too. Any backup player switching teams every offseason is going to bring fun routines and chants with him to every team he goes to so after a few years they all are shared and used.

Teams have been doing this chant for years. Definitely not a Hawks original.

That is the reason they haven't so far won another Superbowl. They simply do not play as one any longer.

Show me proof. Show me ONE piece of official footage of an NFL team chanting that EXACT STATEMENT before 2010 and I will send you $50 dollars in the mail. Easy money? I bet not.
