1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Another year of football. It's another day, it's another game. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Nothing better than this game. Man. Last year, this team 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: exceeded expectations based off of the expert consensus. You guys 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: believe in yourselves in here, obviously. What is this year 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: about though? I think this year is just about growth. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing, regardless of what everybody had in 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: their expectations. We don't really worry about expectations because we 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: already believe that we could be able to win the 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It's just being able to go out there 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: and do it. The best team that can master their 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: craft is a team that's gonna be able to go 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: to farthest. There's gonna be some games where you're not 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna play your best, some games where everybody's gonna be 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: on a roll and we're gonna just be doing a thing. 15 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna be scoring touchdowns and everything. But it's all 16 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: about being able to kind of like figure out how 17 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: the game is going, and once you figure out the 18 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: floor of the game, responding in that type of proper way. 19 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: I think for us we did a great job with that. 20 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I think defense is way better this year. I think offensively, 21 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: we understand our offensive coordinator and what he's trying to 22 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: accomplish it get us to do. So this year is 23 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: just gonna be a year of growth. Even Brian Shottenham 24 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: a year on a regular basis, Hey, I'll be texting 25 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: them or not texting them. But I talked to him maritime, 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: I have a play. Whether we got a break or not, 27 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: I come back and tell them, hey, let's do this. 28 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: And I told him last week and it was a 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: bad play. So I was like, cut that out, don't 30 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: don't put that into the book. I come and get 31 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: you some most have you thought about what you'd be 32 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: doing if you weren't playing football? Real estate? Real estate? Yep? 33 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: Right now? Yeah, I mean I'm taking the test, so 34 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean I'm studying right now and stuff like that 35 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: while we're in the offseason, but just being able to 36 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: work on little things like that before we actually are 37 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: buckled down into like football and stuff like that. But 38 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: I really love it. Watch HGTV every day, even when 39 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything, fall asleep watching it. So we're 40 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: looking forward to getting into it. Is that something new 41 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: that you started watching HGTV or even watching it for 42 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: a while. I've probably been watching it for about two years. Yeah, 43 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: I used to hate watching it because my dad and 44 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: them used to watch it. But now it's like I 45 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: watch it now stop and I just like walking in 46 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: the houses, going to look at houses and just seeing 47 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: different things, like develop up in different things Like I 48 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: like doing that a lot. You've played with a lot 49 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: of incredible players here in Seattle. You can only choose 50 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: one who should be the first to go in the 51 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: Ring of honor. If I had to pick, I had 52 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: to say Earl. Why. Basically his game spoke for itself. 53 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't say anything, but you knew when 54 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: he would say stuff you had to listen. There was 55 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: times when I was in the game he was like, 56 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: come on, Lock, and I knew I couldn't let him down. 57 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: Like it wasn't about letting anybody else down and letting 58 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: myself down. There was like when he said something, you 59 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: knew you had to pick it up, and you knew 60 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: you had to bring it this next play, regardless of 61 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: where the ball was going, just because when you've seen 62 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: the way that he played, if he ever got onto 63 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: you or talked to you, you wanted to be able 64 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: to match that same type of energy and that same 65 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: type of play. No matter what injuries he had, he 66 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: came back stronger than ever. When people said that he 67 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be the same, came back and was even better. 68 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: And I mean, obviously he had great four years before 69 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: I even got here, or five years before I got here, 70 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: and was consistent. And you don't really see a lot 71 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: of consistent players. Why I have since I've been here 72 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: with the seayoalls, seeing a lot of them, but you 73 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: don't really see consistent players at the top of their 74 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: game and at the top of their position, like at 75 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: least five, six, seven, eight years in a row. Lastly, 76 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: as we go into the season, what's your message for 77 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: the twelves? Just keep on supporting. At the end of 78 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: the day, they're called twelves for a reason, and that's 79 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: what it's all about. Is we want them to feel 80 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: as if they have a huge part of the game, 81 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: just as we do a lot of games, like we 82 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be anything without them cheering us on being able 83 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: to be the loudest in the stadium or out there 84 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: in the stands. And I think for us, we feed 85 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: off of their energy. So even when a game isn't 86 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: going away, it's supposed to go the fact that they're 87 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: still in it, it makes it even bigger. I want 88 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: them to be able to bring it every single play, 89 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: no matter what happens.
