1
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Back here on Seahawks Saturday Night, Shall Ledka alongside Seahawks

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: head coach Pete Carroll. Thanks so much for joining us.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: As always, obviously disappointing end to the season, but an

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: amazing fight in Green Bay and your team just battled

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: through so much injuries, adversity, so many things. Have you

6
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: ever been around a group of players that have fought

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: like they fought on Sunday. That's a pretty unique group,

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: not just because of this game, it's been the whole season,

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: you know. And then you can see their commitment to

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: one another and there you know, they just will not

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: let each other down in any way, and they keep

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: hanging and they follow the leader ship of Russell and

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: Bobby and those guys that it just won't let up,

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: you know. And it's become a real character of this

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: team and here proud of it. It's going to take

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: his places in the future. After the game, you referenced

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: how this group really reminds you of what you saw

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: from your team back in twenty twelve, What specifically stands

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: out out and do you think this group will be

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: able to take that same big leap like that team

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: did back then. Well, we'll see you know, I think

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: the it's just unfinished business, you know, just it's just

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: we weren't done, and we know that, you know, we

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: were doing it with other guys, you know some of

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the time, and those guys are stepping in and all that,

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: and we were still able to maintain a really high

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: level of you know, finishing in almost the you know,

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: the advantage of the opportunities you know, in San Francisco

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: and this last thing. Um, So I think it's that knowing.

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: And there's a real nuclei you know, guys, it's been

31
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: came alone. What's it like to go from go, go

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: go for weeks and months on end and then all

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's done. It's a real shock. It's

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: a real shock to the system. Um, you know, to

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: be cranked. It's such a high level for so long

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and you never stepped back from it, you know. Um,

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: there's only those couple hours you steal in the hotel

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: when you played afternoon games or the evening games, you know,

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: in every every few weeks, you know. Other than that,

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: it's just go, go go, and so um, yeah, a

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: lot of us don't know what to do with ourselves

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: for a bit here. So we'll take a little time

43
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and kind of get it sorted out and get back

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: to business. And for your coaching staff, back to business

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: right away almost with the Pro Bowl. What do you

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: hope that your coaching staff will be able to take

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: away from that experience. Well, we're gonna have a good time,

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: you know, we have fun, and we get to take

49
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: the kids with us too, which is great, and the

50
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: grandkids and all of that. But we'll get to compare,

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, the level of athletes and have them all

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: in the same field at the same time to compare

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: with what we have, and we'll do a little recruiting

54
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: down there too, you know, and all that. So mostly

55
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: it's about having a good time and letting these guys

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: go out and play and show the world, you know,

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: what they're all about. With the twenty nineteen season officially

58
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: done behind you, now, what's going to be your biggest

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: takeaway when you look back on this year. Well, I

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 1: think the biggest takeaway would be that the team can

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: connect at this kind of depth, you know, and they

62
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: can be just dedicate to one another, and so it

63
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: probably elevates my standards of expectations what we can accomplish

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and can acquire during the first of the year if

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: you you know, if you have the right kind of voices,

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: even the right leadership and all that. So we're going

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: to hold ourselves to this. Now. This is kind of

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: what we expect, and hopefully it'll take us a step

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: further one week in this step further another week, and

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: we're finishing this thing up with the where we want to.

71
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: It's got to be hard to just pinpoint one specific

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: thing in a season where there were so many incredible

73
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: moments and moments to be proud of. But can you

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: can you pick one that maybe stands out as your

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: proudest moment this year? Well, I think the uh, the

76
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco finished down there, you know in overtime was

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: really you know, beating an undefeated team when they were

78
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: biggest crowd in history and their plays and going crazy

79
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: and I'll fold themselves and all that and knock them

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: off and really have the game in hand. We gave

81
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: it back to them a little bit and then finishing

82
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: it all that was a that was a tremendous work

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: and kind accompliment then, and you know, San Francisco, whole

84
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: towns you so I kind of like it for that too.

85
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Now you're getting finally a few moments here with the

86
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: off season. You're a big reader. Do you have a

87
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: book though on the horizon of your like as soon

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: as I get a moment, this is what I'm gonna

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: be tackling. I'm going back to I think David Brooks's

Speaker 1: hopefully it's an enjoyable off season for you, a good reread.

94
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, in the process, we might have to check

00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: it out ourselves. But as always, Coach, we appreciate your
