  Speaker 3: Can you just talk about how you're versatility and then too,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: when you go from one side of the line to
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the other side, what adjustments you have.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: To So I think I have a start at every
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: position but center. So I played left guard, left tackle,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: right guard, right tackle, And I just say, like, that's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just me being athletic to be able to go to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: both sides and be able to play. But honestly, it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to Like you wouldn't know unless you
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: did it. It's like right in with your left hand
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: if you're right handed. So it's about honestly, it's about
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: reps and being able to have time to learn each position.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: But you know, I was able to, you know, perform
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: well at every position.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like, did y'all shual they talk to you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: about what kind of role that they are visioning for
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you here? Uh? Not yet. Uh.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I haven't talked much about it, but I'm just excited
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to get in get started whis far?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Do you think you're messed out? You like them? Uh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: honestly anywhere on the field, you know, for Seahawks fans

  Speaker 2: who might not have watched you played elsewhere.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And what kind of player do you gave do uh, aggressive
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: player and the smart player, player that wants to win?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Do you just just being in the league for number
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: of years, what has your perception been of the Seahawks
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: when you hear a Seahawks.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: When you or go across from them, what do you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: expect and what w what's kind of in your opinion
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So I I played here a few times cause I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: played with the Cardinals for three years and I knew
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: every time we was coming up here to Loomingfield it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was gonna be a tough game. So I know that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: stadium it's hard to play in for other people, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: then now to play in it for myself and I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have them have it be hard on them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I'm excited for it, thoughts.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm blocking for uh San Darnold and get that h
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: position here. Oh, super excited. We was talking on the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: way in. Sounds like a great guy, smart, smart, smart cat.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: We talked a little football, So I'm excited have you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Any experience with any of their coaches almost to have
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like John Benton or Dennison are in the offensive line
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: guys or the.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Scheme will be around.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Uh the scheme, Yeah, so I think up, we ran
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: along the same lines in Houston. Uh cause it's all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: from like that Shanahan tree. So yeah, I think I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a little familiar with it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: What is it about the scheme that that fits your
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: skill set?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I think it's it works well against defenses as
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: far as mixing it up, being able to have the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: handoffs like the same as play actions, and just to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: be able to keep in guessing.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: As far as I this has been for Seahawks fans
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a week of transition, a lot of players coming in,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of people going, yeah, what does it mean
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to be a part of this kind of next chapter
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: for Seahawks football? All of the guys coming in here
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I'm super excited about it. I'm super excited about the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: guys that they're bringing in. I'm super excited about the organization,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: super excited to go out there and get it started.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: We talk about it the rest year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: What is it put an offense to have an identity
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and the physical.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Or honestly, y'all know, that's what the game starts. The
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: center snops the ball right there in the middle, so
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you have to be aggressive at the point of attack.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You have to get downhill.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And be able to move those guys off the ball
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to be able to make everything easy. Now when they're
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: thinking about that, now you can drop back and throw
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the ball all across the field. So that's where it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: starts at where you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We've used country stuff.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Somebody put off.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: The ball on the south side. Yep, you have to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: go what are changes to outside?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Honestly, uh, on the front side, you have to remove
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: those guys to be able to let the running back stretch,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you know, be able to stretch and be able.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: To cut back. You have to uh seal off the backside.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So when you're running off the ball, you have to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: move those guys few yards so they'll be able to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: see in front of 'em and be able to get downhill.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What has this week been like for you?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Where you go into it not knowing where your life
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: is gonna be, and then you're making a decision, you're
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: getting on.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: A flight at all those things?
