We're going to take you back 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: to one of the biggest shutouts. 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 3: I think so, I believe so. I would have to 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: fact check. You know, the records. It's been a long 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 3: time since O five. 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: You just said that if you say anything with the 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: right attitude, like you can say it. 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: Was a Monday night massacre, ladies and gentlemen, it was 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 3: a bomby forty degrees and U. 16 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 4: But yeah, it was a fun night. 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: So the final score is forty two to nothing against 18 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: the Eagles. 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Now, look, that was a great team in five. 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: But also you expected something a little bit different from 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: the Eagles. I think Mike Holgrin was expecting a lot 22 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: from the defense that game. Before we get to the outcome, 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: what happened the week before that game? 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 3: The week before what did Mike say, oh, well, we 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 3: needed one more win to clinch, right, Is that where 26 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: you're going, Yes, I'm glad I got it right, So 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 3: we needed one more win. He's like, we haven't done 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: anything yet, this, this and that, and then. 29 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 4: He actually. 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: He kind of vamped up the defense, saying, Hey, they 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: got a guy over there in Brian Westbrook, and I 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: don't think we have anybody that could check him. I 33 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 3: got history with Brian through college, and so I was like, 34 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: that's all. 35 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 4: I needed to hear. 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: And it took a whole group effort, right, that's how 37 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 3: phenomenal this guy was. But you know, when you hear 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: something like that, you're challenge and if you respond favorably, 39 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: which we did. So we had five takeaways, four or 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: five takeaways, and then three touchdowns on defense. Andre Dyson 41 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: had a seventy one yard reception return a thirty yard 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: final force by Levery Hill, and. 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: I had the other touchdown thirty eight yards. 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: How many times did you make it into the end 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: zone in your career? 46 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: Two? 47 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: So this was an especially memorable one. 48 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 4: It was half of them, half. 49 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: Of them in the but leading up to it, though, 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: John Marshall, all right, p that's my dog Johnny Marshall's 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: not with us anymore, but I. 52 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: Love you John. 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: He came up to me and he said, hey, I 54 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: remember when we met, you know, or when we drafted. 55 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 3: You said you were going to score. He's like, you 56 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: still haven't scored yet. This is right before the game, 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 3: and I go, you know what, John, I'm scoring you. 58 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: Then I go and then get your binoculars out because 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 3: I know he's up there.

I scored, 63 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: and I showed the crowd and then I did the 64 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: Ken Norton junior, who was my coach in college and 65 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: who John Marshall coached in the league, and so everybody 66 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: thought it was Rocky Balboa and uh, respectfully when Philly, 67 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: when the media interviewed me after, I was like, you 68 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: guys know, Rocky's not real, right, I just had to 69 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 3: give Philly their brotherly love. 70 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: Hold up, you have a statue of guy's not real. 71 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 4: Let's just keep it real. 72 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: So, yeah, what did he say about your celebration? 73 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: After he goes he goes. I it took him back 74 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 3: in time, is what he said. He goes, I remember 75 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: Ken doing that every time he scored, paying tribute to 76 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: his dad, uh kendoin senor and and so for me 77 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: to do that was just like it's a passing of 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: the torch, but just like paying respect to those that helped. 79 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: He helped me so much get to the NFL. And 80 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: I only spent one year with him. I wish I 81 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: spent more time than I got to, you know, play 82 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: under him at Seattle my last year, and it was 83 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: just so meaningful. 84 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: What do you remember about the Eagles crowd that because 85 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: they hung around until halftime and then they left. 86 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: Yeah wow, yeah you gotta go in and take it over, 87 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: make it your home, right. I love playing on the road, 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: But what I loved about their crowd was that was 89 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: the time we were getting introduced, or the offense is get introduced, 90 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: but like and O Sam, we went back and the 91 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: defense got introduced. So we're all like, hey, we only 92 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: we come out as a unit offensive defense. We come 93 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: out as a unit on the road. And they're like, 94 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: not here, you're in our houses. 95 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: Are our rules? 96 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: So they announce you one on one one by one 97 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: and in Unison when they're like loaf the Tupu USC 98 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 3: middle linebacker sucks the whole crowd. It's but I used 99 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: to harness that energy and then use it on the field, 100 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 3: and so it was one of the most fun places 101 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: to play in my opinion, because they were so passionate. 102 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 4: They'd reminded me of the Twelves. Just the twelves are 103 00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: a little nicer. 104 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: I'll say, well, I've told the story a few times. 105 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: I have walked through the parking lot in Philly. You 106 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: do not want to do that. They were lighting fireworks 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: and pointing them my direction, and I said, at that point, 108 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: I'm out of here. I'm not we were not. I 109 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: was not going to mess around with that. But did 110 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: you realize that at halftime of that game, Reggie White's 111 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: number was being retired? 112 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 4: I did. 113 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: I actually ran out early to watch some of the 114 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: highlights and like that was one of the greatest players 115 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: that ever. But three times him? What's so him? J? J. Watten, 116 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 3: Aaron Donald, Lawrence Taylor, Lawrence Taylor. I'm wrong there, but 117 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 3: Reggie should have had three defensive MVPs and Mike Holmgren 118 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: I asked him, I was like, Hey, who's the greatest 119 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: player you ever coached? I thought it was going to 120 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: be Brett Farb, right, or I thought it was going 121 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: to be some of these other guys that offensively, He said, 122 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: hands down, not even a question, Reggie White was the 123 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 3: greatest player I ever coached. And I was like, awesome, 124 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: that's amazing, because that's how I felt when I watched 125 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 3: him play. It's just the biggest, strongest, fastest guy and 126 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: there's nothing you could do. It's just a matter of 127 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: time and you're in his world and good luck. 128 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Well, the fans stayed to watch that and then they 129 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: decided to take off. 130 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: I think they only stayed for the red white ceremony, right, 131 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: His family was there, right, Yeah. 132 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 2: So then the second half you're playing for what an 133 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: empty stadium, and your offense is probably mad because they 134 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: weren't on the field. The starters weren't on the field 135 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: anymore because you guys scored so many points on defense. 136 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: Do you know what I was so happy about was 137 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: that the offense was why we went to the Super Bowl, Right, 138 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: number two or three overall offense number one and rushing everything. 139 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 3: They it was down. But that was our night where 140 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: when we got to the locker room, I was like, hey, man, 141 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: we scored as many points as you guys, like, let 142 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: that sink in. And then they were like, yeah, that's 143 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: one out of ten. I was like, yeah, you're right. 144 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: They couldn't just let you have the one night. Oh 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: that's that's not too much to ask. It's just one night. 146 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 4: Right. 147 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: You were talking about the weather before we launched into 148 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: this conversation. 149 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: You said, what forty degrees? 150 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: It was way colder than that, and it was like snowing. 151 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: But that's why I said it felt I liked the 152 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: cold weather. I overheat naturally, and so like when I 153 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: went to college in La I was just like, Wow, 154 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: it was hot out here. I had to like get 155 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: an ivy before the game at halftime because yeah, I'd 156 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: rather play. 157 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 4: In the cold. 158 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Do you think that all of those factors, the cold, 159 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: the the fans, the location, do you think that helped 160 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: people across the nation take the Seahawks more seriously? That 161 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: game in particular? 162 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: I think so. 163 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: Because it was a primetime game, right, and we didn't 164 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: have a ton of them, and you know, for whatever reason, 165 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: but we enjoyed flying under the radar and not listening 166 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: to the noise we knew. 167 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: So we started off too and two. 168 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: And then we went on that eleven game like run 169 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: and then we lost to Green Bay at the end, 170 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: which we thought was Brett's last game. 171 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 4: It wasn't. 172 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: He played five more years, you know, So we that's 173 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: another story. 174 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: That's a different circle back around for that one. 175 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: But so we okay, we thought he was gonna ride 176 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: off in the sunset. But either way, Sean broke the 177 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: rushing touchdown record. It was just such like to watch 178 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: that offense work, like that offensive line, uh that we 179 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 3: had to face every day. So me and Lee were 180 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 3: rookies and we're like, man, maybe we're not ready for this. 181 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: And then we went to a preseason game and we 182 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: did what we do and balled out, and we were like, 183 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: now we're ready. 184 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 4: They're just good. They're just really really good. 185 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: Talking about two Hall of Famers Pro Bowl Robbie Tilbay, 186 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: Chris Gray one of the most underrated, Sean Lockley one 187 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: of the most underrated. 188 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: They should have both had Pro Bowls. 189 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: But you can't send the whole line to the Pro Bowl, right, 190 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 3: but they should have that. It was an all out 191 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: battle every day and practice, and that's why the games 192 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: were easy. 193 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: They were fun. 194 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 4: That practice wasn't that. 195 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: I bet that plane ride home after the game was fun. 196 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you about that in just a minute. 197 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: But this NFL season, feel every play, every hit, every moment. 198 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 2: With Sony one thousand X and five noise canceling headphones, 199 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: the official headphones of the Seattle Seahawks.

Plane ride 203 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: home after a win is always better, especially flying cross country. 204 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: I think they're a little more subdued now, but that 205 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: one I got. 206 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: To imagine the plane was rocket. 207 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're different beasts back then, different great animal but 208 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: you know it's guys that just loved what they do, 209 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 3: the game of football. 210 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 4: And then it was a family.
