1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: A touchdown when you sign your contract extension, we went

2
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: through your mind. Wow, I was super excited just to

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: be here, um for many years to come. You know,

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: I love Seattle. Then when a lot of football games here,

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: the culture here is amazing, the fans or the best

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: music as it gets. Just knowing that my kids get

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: to go to school and where they're going and everything else,

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: it's really exciting. And so I've grown up here and

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm continue to grow here and I'm looking forward to,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, how much further we can go. More importantly,

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: evaluate Tyler Lockett and DJ Fluker's acting skills. Yeah, that

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: was that was pretty unbelievable. But I think seeing DJ

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: come underneath the covers, hide behind on the covers was

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: a nightmare for me. Um. But just uh, it was funny,

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: just how they did it. And you know that's the

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: that's the um. The camaraderie that we had. We make

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: fun of each other, We have fun together. Um, So

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: we really enjoyed that part of it. Do you think

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: there are unrealistic expectations that come with being the highest

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: paid quarterback in the NFL? Unrealized expectations? I think that

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: you you you know, there should be expectations. There should

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: be high standards, you know, and there's nobody's standards are

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: higher than mine in terms of how how you got

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: to play and and everything else. And so I look

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: forward to it. I don't I don't shy away from

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: it. I I don't think you get this far doubting or

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: worried or anything like that. You go forward and you

28
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: you're grateful for every moment that you get to have.

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: And I haven't been on to do this on my own,

30
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, It's it's been everybody else. You know, as

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: we say, all hands on deck, it's everybody you know

32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: you're pitching in doing everything they can to be great.

33
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: Attrition is part of the game. But does this offense

34
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: change without Doug Baldwin here, Well, yeah, I mean anytime

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: you don't have a star guy like that, you know,

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: it changes a little bit. It's dark bald one who

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: reaches up and makes the catch. The thing with Doug

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: is his leadership, his ability to make key plays in

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: crucial times as fires passion um. You know, there's nobody

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: like them, you know, so you're gonna lose, you know,

41
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: you lose a guy like that, you're gonna lose something

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: for sure. Who's gonna throw your touchdown passes? Now? I know, right,

43
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. If I don't know, we

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: gotta find out if I can. So let me see.

45
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: You coach Gary Jennings and youth basketball. What was your

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: reaction when they day? Yeah? The funny thing I was coaching,

47
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: uh you know, I football camp r WPA And next

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: thing I know, I get a phone call from my sister.

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: She calls me like three times and my sister anna, Man,

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is calling? So I finally finally answer.

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: She's like Gary just got trapped us and what like?

52
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: Who Gary? Who? He's like the Gary Jennings from les Ford.

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: We coached him. I'm like, oh Gary. Yeah. So it

54
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: was funny just to think about that and to be

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: able to you know, to be able to coach a

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: guy like Gary. You know, I remember how young they were,

57
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: my sister and Gary playing together on the same team,

58
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: my stishop was playing the guys team, and just just

59
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: how talented they were and just how much fun they had.

60
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: And then Gary ended up moving. But uh, you know

61
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: there there's such a special thing there and so I'm

62
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: looking forward to him, uh, you know, hopefully showing out

63
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: and make a lot of place for us. Was he

64
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: a good listener back then? Yeah, he was pretty good.

65
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: He was good. Tough for seven year old, he was.

66
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: How do you maintain the atmosphere and the camaraderie that

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: was built in the locker room a season ago? Well,

68
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: I think we just can continue. We move forward, We

69
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: continue to communicate. The communication is key and any relationship anything,

70
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: and I think also too as well as have fun

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: doing it. You know, we're we're way ahead of just

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: you know where where people would think we would be

73
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: a year ago. People oh, well, you know what's gonna

74
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: what's gonna be for the Seahawks, And we jumped those,

75
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, miles and miles ahead, and now look how
