- 2:37Speaker 2: the momentum back.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Jed, Yes, last pick was your one hundredth games.
- 2:41Speaker 4: To see all the guys get that many games in
- 2:44Speaker 4: their career, let alone for one franch oisure.
- 2:46Speaker 3: What does that mean?
- 2:46Speaker 5: Either means a lot. I'm doing something right.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Oh I could keep doing something right, you know, but
- 2:53Speaker 2: I really didn't even notice it until I think my
- 2:56Speaker 2: mom had said something.
- 2:57Speaker 5: We were just talking on the phone.
- 2:59Speaker 2: I was like, dang, yeah, sh well, that is a lot,
- 3:02Speaker 2: especially for one organization.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Man, I'm blessed.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I'm just thankful to be here that could keep doing.
- 3:07Speaker 2: I'm doing something right to keep me around. So I
- 3:09Speaker 2: was I was to keep it that way.
- 3:11Speaker 3: When you left, could you thought that that you'd be
- 3:13Speaker 3: back here?
- 3:13Speaker 5: I knew I was coming back.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I I in my opinion, I always say I felt
- 3:17Speaker 2: like I shouldn't have lived. But you know, life those
- 3:20Speaker 2: a bunch of learning curves, man, you live to learn.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And it was good to go play for two other organizations.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I played for two other great coaches. Now I'm playing
- 3:28Speaker 2: for my fourth grade coach.
- 3:30Speaker 3: You had a hundred games with the franchise.
- 3:33Speaker 7: What are the the things you've learned about this team,
- 3:35Speaker 7: this franchise, the people in this building that you wouldn't
- 3:38Speaker 7: have known a.
- 3:38Speaker 5: Hundred games ago.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I think, honestly, man, just from top to bottom, I think,
- 3:43Speaker 2: for one, I love Seattle, I love the fans. Just
- 3:46Speaker 2: organization is first class, A high class organization, man.
- 3:49Speaker 5: I have no respect. But you know, for.
- 3:52Speaker 2: John and Jody and everybody who makes it possible for
- 3:55Speaker 2: us to Seahawks, to go out there and you know,
- 3:57Speaker 2: perform and do what we do. It's been a long time,
- 4:01Speaker 2: Like from the time I got drafted here. I think
- 4:03Speaker 2: I said this in an interview before I knew I was
- 4:04Speaker 2: getting drafted. I felt it. So, you know, being here,
- 4:07Speaker 2: it's it's it's another home for me. You know, I
- 4:09Speaker 2: have no respect for the people around the building, you know,
- 4:12Speaker 2: Stull Spider to my guy in the cafeteria man, then
- 4:15Speaker 2: my guys Uh, e K and and UH in the
- 4:18Speaker 2: equipment room man, you know, Strict and c J, all
- 4:21Speaker 2: the guys and train the room.
- 4:23Speaker 5: You know, I got nothing but respect for everybody around. Man.
- 4:25Speaker 2: I try to treat everybody with respect and show them
- 4:28Speaker 2: respect that they deserve cause they do a lot for
- 4:30Speaker 2: us to be able to go out.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Here and perform and do what we do as well.
- 4:33Speaker 6: He talked a little bit, you know, and you can
- 4:36Speaker 6: check in about the UH the hit on Trevor Lawrence.
- 4:39Speaker 3: I don't know if we saw that. That just I'm just
- 4:42Speaker 3: wondering what it's like as a defensive player to walk.
- 4:45Speaker 6: Outline UH playing hard but not trying to get a
- 4:48Speaker 6: targeting family cause I imagine if you could be frightened
- 4:51Speaker 6: sometimes that.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Yeah, I it's not my business to really speak on it,
- 4:55Speaker 2: but from what I can say is just a quarterback
- 4:57Speaker 2: slide and just lay out for him.
- 4:58Speaker 5: I mean, you know he's gonna slide.
- 4:59Speaker 2: But I you know, to a question, cause I really
- 5:03Speaker 2: wanna say, like, you know, how you gonna termine? Like,
- 5:06Speaker 2: can quarterback to slide? Cause they run, they have to
- 5:08Speaker 2: slide cause some of 'em don't. And it's like, how
- 5:10Speaker 2: I usual the defender, It's like, is he gonna slider
- 5:13Speaker 2: or is he not?
- 5:14Speaker 5: So I think it's just I think in that.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Occasion though he was clearly slidering in the I think
- 5:18Speaker 2: the guy shoulda went over top.
- 5:20Speaker 5: But you know that's for them to figure out as well.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Was he guys have been playing on defense these last
- 5:25Speaker 3: few weeks. How nice is to now we had in channel.
- 5:27Speaker 2: After the next Oh man, that's the guy right there.
- 5:31Speaker 2: You know it's a guy that's hungry. He's a true leader.
- 5:34Speaker 2: He can help the guys on the edge as well.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Captain Back's gonna be huge, and I think we're only
- 5:38Speaker 2: gonna get better. You know, the room is deep, we
- 5:41Speaker 2: get deeper in. Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of
- 5:44Speaker 2: guys coming pass take him. Kill me about that, but
- 5:47Speaker 2: you know I'll have too. But uh yeah, so you know, yeah,
- 5:52Speaker 2: where we're gonna be coming from all over the place.
- 6:01Speaker 5: Talked about cause he's the.
- 6:02Speaker 6: Think he got the freedom of the coaches to actually
- 6:04Speaker 6: call games at the line.
- 6:06Speaker 5: Have to see something free staff.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Is that something you have availability to do well? Is
- 6:09Speaker 3: that something that's new to this staff.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Nuh No, it's not new. You know.
- 6:14Speaker 2: They give the older guys as I'm playing some uh
- 6:16Speaker 2: freedom to do that.
- 6:17Speaker 5: But he a younger guy. You know, you you just
- 6:19Speaker 5: had to listen to what the call is being called.
- 6:22Speaker 6: You mentioned you m uh, Mike, it is the fourth
- 6:24Speaker 6: grade k fourth grade coach's played for e Have you
- 6:27Speaker 6: seen him grow from s a start to finish.
- 6:29Speaker 5: I've definitely seen him grow from start to finish.
- 6:32Speaker 2: And when you could have a coach come up here
- 6:34Speaker 2: in his first year and then just get a whole
- 6:36Speaker 2: group of grown men to believe in and to believe
- 6:38Speaker 2: in the process, to believe in the preparation everything you
- 6:41Speaker 2: do to that that you need to do to be
- 6:44Speaker 2: a good team. And I I I love what what
- 6:46Speaker 2: I'm seeing. I think I had a conversation with him
- 6:48Speaker 2: before I was you know, of course your football junk,
- 6:51Speaker 2: you're watching football. So I was watching the game and
- 6:54Speaker 2: you know, I seen on the sideline went as he
- 6:56Speaker 2: was a defensive coordinator with the Ravens, and he was
- 6:58Speaker 2: just pump when the guy's making plays. When you're a
- 7:00Speaker 2: player and you see a coaches acting like that, man,
- 7:02Speaker 2: that's a extra amount of juice that you have, a
- 7:05Speaker 2: extra boost up energy that can bring your whole team
- 7:08Speaker 2: together when all the coaches are juiced s uck. And
- 7:10Speaker 2: you know his youngest fier, he's ready. He has playing
- 7:13Speaker 2: great football right now and he's a mastermind.
- 7:16Speaker 4: A lot of you have said how smart intelligent he is,
- 7:19Speaker 4: but how good is he relating to the players?
- 7:21Speaker 5: If how does he explain the concepts he wants? That
- 7:25Speaker 5: effective is he of that? I think he does a
- 7:27Speaker 5: uh a good job of its plaining.
- 7:28Speaker 2: You know, everybody different, everybody's different, everybody has their own
- 7:32Speaker 2: way of expressions in communicating with people. But I think
- 7:35Speaker 2: he does a good job. You know, I think he's
- 7:36Speaker 2: pretty corny, but it's cool. It's like a cool corny
- 7:39Speaker 2: you know, it's a cool guy. So it was a
- 7:42Speaker 2: couple of handshakes turning into thumb wars. You know that
- 7:44Speaker 2: type of stuff.
- 7:46Speaker 5: What's the cornist guy?
- 7:49Speaker 2: Probably thumb wore, or he'll like or he'll like damn
- 7:52Speaker 2: here for like puts men be like, how's your hand?
- 7:55Speaker 5: Like my hand? No hurt, he's bigger than yours.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Does he win those wars?
- 8:00Speaker 5: Oh, he snatched it out of it before it get there.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Or if he owes you down the course, he lost, right,
- 8:06Speaker 2: it's unexpecting.
- 8:07Speaker 7: Can you talk about his clarity, how he's able to
- 8:12Speaker 7: articulate what the message is and what the goal is?
- 8:15Speaker 5: O Oh, what's straightforward?
- 8:17Speaker 2: It's no cooking through it, just how you like straight
- 8:20Speaker 2: to it. It's I was about to hear another pause,
- 8:23Speaker 2: but you s you know there's only one way.
- 8:25Speaker 5: To put it. Just put it out there.
- 8:28Speaker 7: What does that do to players? With the clarity is clear?
- 8:31Speaker 7: And it's clarity. It makes it clear. It's a clear message.
- 8:34Speaker 7: It's the other way around it. There's no you know nothing,
- 8:37Speaker 7: it's just clear. Playing his day, it's the only way
- 8:39Speaker 7: you can get it.
- 8:41Speaker 5: You try that.
- 8:41Speaker 3: It's been through a lotless season. Does it mean to
- 8:43Speaker 3: give him back?
- 8:44Speaker 2: It means a lot of mess I can see him
- 8:45Speaker 2: go out there, you know, Uh, the person like that
- 8:48Speaker 2: and to to be able to stay mentally in it,
- 8:52Speaker 2: you know, just mentally focused.
- 8:53Speaker 5: I think he deserves it.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I mean, he deserves to go out here to play
- 8:56Speaker 2: his game that he's worked hard to get back to.
- 8:58Speaker 2: He deserves to go out there and make the players
- 8:59Speaker 2: down that we all know he could make that, we
- 9:01Speaker 2: all know, you know he's capable of doing.
- 9:03Speaker 5: So I'm excited to see him get out there, you know,
- 9:05Speaker 5: get going.
- 9:06Speaker 3: He told us.
- 9:06Speaker 6: Before you UH for un the podium what he felt
- 9:09Speaker 6: up to play the uh injured his knee in the preseason.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Did you guys have any conversations about that.
- 9:13Speaker 5: No. I try not to bring that up, you know.
- 9:15Speaker 2: I just wanna make sure he's mental is good, he's
- 9:17Speaker 2: doing good, and let him know that we're here for him.
- 9:19Speaker 6: You talked about how it's important for him to go
- 9:20Speaker 6: to the YOURR to be away games this year and
- 9:22Speaker 6: kind of stay with the team.
- 9:23Speaker 3: How did how did you see him kind of handle that?
- 9:24Speaker 2: And I think it was good, you know, just to
- 9:26Speaker 2: be a part of that family, you know, cause uh,
- 9:28Speaker 2: when you like that and you know you're hurt and
- 9:30Speaker 2: you're out and sometimes you don't travel and you know,
- 9:33Speaker 2: you kind of could feel like left out, you know,
- 9:35Speaker 2: and uh, it's just good to be around the guys man,
- 9:38Speaker 2: just to feel that love and feel the injury from
- 9:40Speaker 2: your brothers around you.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Kind of doubt advice do you got for your head
- 9:43Speaker 3: coach feeling in you?
- 9:46Speaker 5: Uh? Man?
- 9:48Speaker 2: So I would just say, you know, sometimes you got
- 9:52Speaker 2: to let her wake up late in the morning so
- 9:54Speaker 2: you can make you to work on time and and
- 9:56Speaker 2: not be tired so the babies cry late.
- 9:59Speaker 5: Just you know.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I would say, you know, it's definite, you know, gonna
- 10:03Speaker 2: handle that. That's my opinion. That's how I can go
- 10:06Speaker 2: to sleep.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Uh.
- 10:08Speaker 5: We spend some long hours in here. Man. You just
- 10:10Speaker 5: wanna make sure you alert and not missing anything your you're.
- 10:13Speaker 4: In regards to Leo, like what an interior defensive linements.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Able to cause?
- 10:18Speaker 6: Halby like he has a lot of move to Chris
- 10:20Speaker 6: Jersey play with the kansasity yourself sometimes too, like, h
- 10:23Speaker 6: how how much of a problem.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Does that make as a defense for an offense to
- 10:28Speaker 4: be able to have somebody.
- 10:29Speaker 5: You gotta chigure out how to block the guy.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And then let's say you're a coach and you're old
- 10:33Speaker 2: there you like, Okay, this is how we gonna block him,
- 10:35Speaker 2: and then he destroys that too.
- 10:36Speaker 5: What are you gonna do?
- 10:37Speaker 2: I mean, it's just like I think that's the ultimate
- 10:40Speaker 2: feeling man, especially as the d Linemen, to wreck like
- 10:42Speaker 2: that and then to do it, cause they could be
- 10:44Speaker 2: like two weeks in a row.
- 10:45Speaker 5: I think that's amazing.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Man.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Just for him to go out there and do what
- 10:48Speaker 2: he's doing. He just gonna stop him right now. I
- 10:50Speaker 2: mean the gouds on Fire's base, that's the big cat.
- 10:53Speaker 3: You got ninety three yards and you to get a peck.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Ay, I said the same thing. I look, I don't know.
- 10:58Speaker 2: They better bring the whole house, cause we gonna slow
- 11:01Speaker 2: down around about forty yards. I'm'a try my hards. To me,
- 11:06Speaker 2: I probably be able to play there. It's serious, but
- 11:08Speaker 2: we can get there when we get sick.
- 11:10Speaker 3: What's the fastest you've had on the g.
- 11:12Speaker 2: I have no clue. Honestly, I think it's like sixteen eight.
- 11:16Speaker 3: You're not the first person to call the cafeteria.
- 11:18Speaker 6: How the people up there, you know, if you talk
- 11:20Speaker 6: about being in to different organizations, what what are their
- 11:22Speaker 6: roles and just kind of setting the culture here.
- 11:24Speaker 2: If you can man ouh, I s I think you know,
- 11:25Speaker 2: especially when you go upstairs, it it just feels like home.
- 11:28Speaker 2: It just feels like another place for where you can
- 11:30Speaker 2: be yourself. It's just not guys just cooking and not
- 11:33Speaker 2: saying the saying anything. Everybody's interacting with each other, everybody's
- 11:37Speaker 2: making jokes, everybody's getting some good food. You know, they're
- 11:40Speaker 2: making sure we have what we need. And you know
- 11:42Speaker 2: they care. You know, you can say they have good hearts.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Man. Some it's some great people around this building.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Uh, and you have to respect that cause, you know,
- 11:49Speaker 2: just some other places, it's another day at the office.
