1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Fly sweep coming from right to left this time there 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: to make the players j right. What's the team for 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: this year? I mean last year? This team for the team, 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: The team is seated expectations. Nobody expected you guys to 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: win as many games from the people inside this building. 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: So what do you hang on your hang your hat 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: on this year? Same thing. We gotta just we gotta read. 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: We gotta build off of what we did last year. 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: We haven't won our division in a while, and so 10 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: it's still a tough division, and so we got to 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: win this division because go from there. Granted what we 12 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: did last year was it was pretty impressive, and we 13 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta do it again and do better. 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: After going with you went through last season injury wise, 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: describe the opportunity that lies ahead this season. Oh, it's 16 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: just a comeback season. It's just a way to redeem myself. 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm used to playing all sixteen games and anything less 18 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: than that for me is unacceptable. I get the injuries happened, 19 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: but there's would be a chance for me to really 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: go out there, play every game and just get back 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: to the kJ that I know I can be because 22 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: I've gotta played five games last year. It was miserable, 23 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: very and it happens, but you know, God will and 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: I have to stay healthy all year, you know, play 25 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: it all out. What'd you learn about yourself last year? 26 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: A lot, A whole lot. I learned that stress is 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: very real. I need to depend on those around me 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: more because I'm used to just doing stuff on my own. 29 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: So I was able to leaning on my wife more, 30 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: leaning on my friends, and just be able to express 31 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: myself because I usually just keep things in. But when 32 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: you go through stuff like that, you gotta get it 33 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: out of your system. And so I had to learn 34 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: to really express myself, become vulnerable and letting people know 35 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: how I'm feeling. Express yourself. You now have you You're 36 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: on YouTube channel on podcast? How does you feel? Actually 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: made it? Now? It's fun, man, it's fun. Yeah, got 38 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: my own podcast topic of discussion and with Mike Mo 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: and Ali, let's talk about everything from all topics, controversial 40 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: stuff and it's just fun to get out there and 41 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: just share share our message with the world on the 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: topic of the podcast. Now, I'm not pushing you off 43 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: the field, but have you thought about what you would 44 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: like to do when your career is over? Yep, what 45 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: is that. I'm kind of all over the place. I 46 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: love media. I love talking about the game, explaining the 47 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: game two people because you know, I'm a fool about junkie, 48 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: So I love sports media. Agency. Maybe start my own 49 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: sports agency with some former teammates of mine because I've 50 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: had agents, and I believe agents can do a lot 51 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: more from a mentor standpoint. If I guy like myself 52 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: takes a kid from Mississippi just grooms him to teach 53 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: them the ins and outs of the game, not just 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: give them a contract done, but give them the ins 55 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: and outs, a mentorship of what's what you're about to 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: go through, I believe that would be life changing. So 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: those two things are kind of at the top right now. Finally, 58 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: what does the city of Seattle mean to you? I 59 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: love the city. It's just home for a long time, 60 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: just been a blessing to me. My kid's going to 61 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: grow up here, and I'm gonna stay here once I retire, 62 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: and just just a special place. It was cool coming 63 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: from Mississippi to Seattle because it's night and day totally 64 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: different places, and so it just really shifted my perspective 65 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: of what's out there. It got me out of my 66 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: box and jests got I just expanded to a whole 67 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: new mindset. So I love this place.
