Um, I was just trying 54 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: to figure everything out my rookie year, right, But then 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: what you got to remember is is, you know, the 56 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: almost the entire time I was in Seattle, Walt three 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: fifths of the year. At the time I was there, 58 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: he was he was franchised, so he miss training camp. Right, 59 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: So the second year I didn't see Walt. So after 60 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, we ended the first my rookie year were 61 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, I didn't see wals a week one, okay, 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: and we come, you know, we come out like gangbusters, 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: like we never you know this first until I until 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: I got hurt and hurt my ankle, broke my leg. 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: But we came out first four games like Gangbusters and 66 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm going, man, I hadn't seen this guy in eight months, 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: nine months, and here we go, like, you know, I'm like, wow, man, 68 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: imagine if we actually practiced that, you know, so then 69 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: so then I think that was the first time we 70 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: were like we could be pretty good and in the 71 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: line too, you know. And I think I was starting 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: to realize that with free agency and injuries at this level, 73 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: line just don't stay together. So so you had Walt 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: and me and Tobec and Chris Gray and you know, 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: our right tackle that that was a little bit of 76 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a revolving door the first couple of years because you 77 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: had Chris McIntosh who had hurt in his neck, and 78 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: then Jerry Unch came in and then uh, you know, 79 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: we had a couple of guys get in there before 80 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: before Sean came in, and um, you know, and and 81 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: and pork Chop was in there a little bit.

We 329 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: were you know in the AFC West last year before 330 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: the realignment, and then in two thousand and two, Um, 331 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, we we we we kind of we slipped there, 332 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: but we finished strong. At the end of the year 333 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, we made the playoffs and we 334 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: went went to Green Bay and you know, made the playoffs. 335 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: So we're turning it around, and in two thousand and 336 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: four we hosted play you know, so so somewhere in that, 337 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: I think it was towards the end of two thousand 338 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: and two two thousand and three we started seeing all right, listen, 339 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: we got something here and then and then we signed guys. 340 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: A big part of it was we signed guys like 341 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: like Grant Wistrom and Grant. Grant was one of those 342 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: guys that just brought the locker room closer together. And 343 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: I think when Grant got here, you know, it was 344 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: like it's just the whole team. You felt it like, 345 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't it wasn't um, it wasn't just 346 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: there were no clicks. There weren't just okay, the offensive 347 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: line and then you know, the defensive back. I mean, 348 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to dinner with the D line 349 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: and the D beats, you know, and it's just that, 350 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, when we had a night off and Cheney, 351 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of us we went to a movie, 352 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, in Spokane or something, and it wasn't defense offense, 353 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: black White. It was just, hey, who's going We're going, 354 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: you know, And that's when you knew. Hey, that's what 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: that's the hard thing you you you know, and this 356 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: with free agency and the guys leaving, So that's the 357 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: hard thing it is to keep and maintain. Is that chemistry? Right? Well, 358 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: I got two more questions, but go ahead and let 359 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: you go again. All right, see if I can turn 360 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: it around? All right? All right, So you're so you're 361 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: in the huddle. It's fourth down. Yep, you're on the 362 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: one yard line. Matt Hasselbeck's in the huddle. Shot Alexander 363 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: rest of the table. Tell us what is the name 364 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: of the play, because we all know where it's going, right, 365 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: what's the name of the play? What is Matt Hasselback 366 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: called at net Houdel? Well, we had a play that year. 367 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: I think in two thousand and five, you're you're in 368 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We had thirty three third and shot of 369 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: fourth and short opportunities and to the left side, and 370 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: we we were thirty three for thirty three. I think 371 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: we're one hundred percent converting all of them. And the 372 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: funny thing is is everybody in stands knew what was 373 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: going and the defense then was gone because they overloaded 374 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: and they still couldn't stop it. And uh, it was. 375 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: It was ninety three blast. That was our play. So 376 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: we had Walt told back myself, Um blocking on the 377 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: front side and went between Walt and I and we 378 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: had Max Strong and then Sean running it. And so 379 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: you we we we had that one figured out. So 380 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: even the defense knew it was coming in. Yeah, they 381 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: all knew because they overloaded the left side. And uh, 382 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: but you know the crazy thing is is um, everybody 383 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: as soon as well it's just you and Walt, Well 384 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: we you know, we everybody did a good job. But 385 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: you know a lot of those runs, those guys that 386 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot of times the ones that make the tackle 387 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: aren't the guy standing in the hole. Um, it's the 388 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: guys pursuing a knife into the back side. So every 389 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: time we ran it, there was a lane cut off 390 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: backside from you know, Chris Gray and Locklear and and 391 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: you know all those guys and so so again it 392 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: was even though we ran left, it was it's more 393 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: than just that, you know, favorite game as a seahawk 394 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: in your I think it had to be the Super Bowl, 395 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's bittersweet, it was, it was 396 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: it was it was the favorite game, biggest game to play, 397 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: and Obviously we lost the game, which and the way 398 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: we lost it, and you know, everything's shrounded. That loss 399 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: was was hard. But I would say another one, and 400 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: it was a close one, was the game before that, 401 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: the championship game, the NFC championship game against Carolina at home, 402 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: when that place was going crazy, and that was just 403 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: a special night because I remember was a bunch of 404 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: us went to Daniels Broiler and Bellevue to eat a 405 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: and celebrate and have have dinner, and the whole place 406 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: stood up, you know, clout, and it's just it's like 407 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: you felt like, man, this is what a city feels 408 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: like they when they're into it, you know, and if 409 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: we felt like man, and we were just we were 410 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: in cloud nine, you know.
