  Speaker 2: Uh, I'm a old school so, uh, it's nice to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: get a win, but you know, we didn't make the
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: playoffs and we didn't do what we need to do
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: early on, and so it's a lot of mixed emotions.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: But you understand, you got a young team, and you know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: as they progress in their career, they realized how hard
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: wins are to come by, and so.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's a balance.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I'm yeah for sure. Okay, no, not at all.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I mean I think we tried not to We tried not.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: To let that play a factor.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Or even think about it during the game, but human nature,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you know, you glance up from time to time. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you know, I felt like we did a really good
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: job of just controlling what we can control, staying locked
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in on what we needed to do. And you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know the decision to go for two or whatever,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: if that played the part just because we had, you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: already seen the Packers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Win or not.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But I mean I was for it, and you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: no reason to go into overtime, and the way Gino
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was going, you know, better to put the ball in
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: his hands and you know him a lock made an
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: amazing catch before and another amazing catch.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: He's just an all time great for sure.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: There any any emotions, I mean, there's a lot of emotions,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of emotions, you know, but again
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I'll try to just be present. You never know what's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. I don't know what the future holds, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But that was out of my control. My control was
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: just to come back and be the best leader I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: can be, be the best teammate I can be, you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: perform at as high as level as I can. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that's that's all I can control. It was a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of emotions, you know, the first first couple of weeks,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know, the first game is you know, you come
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: back and you hear that crazy emotions and I think,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: like two weeks later you're still playing, but they bring
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: back the Super Bowl team, and so there's emotions that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: we you know, seeing all the guys that you know
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: have transitioned into their their next career and you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: kind of reliving that moment for a second, but also
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: trying to be present and what's going on. And then
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: obviously we had our ups and downs, but you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I love playing for this team.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I love playing for Seattle.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And and you know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: It's been a blessings they you know, I think you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you gotta learn how to win. You know, you gotta
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: win the games that you should win, and you gotta
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: attack this offseason, you know what I mean. I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, you gonna watch the playoffs, you gonna watch teams.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you might even watch teams that you feel
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: like you could've beat or should have beat, or things.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Of that nature.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And and you know, the sooner you start working on
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the things that you need to approve, because everybody has
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: stuff in that game and they need to improve, of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: including myself, And so you know, the quickly you get
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: back to you know, taking care of that, that's how
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you have longevity in his career. Sometimes I feel like
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: UH players either have a really good season or a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: really bad season and they let that sway or change
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: their off season.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And so.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: The faster you can figure out a routine in the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: off season and be consistent with it, the longer you'll
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: stay in this league. There's a lot of distractions and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of distractions, and so it's the ones that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: know how to fight those distractions and come back focus
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and ready to play those ones that last longest. As
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: far as I can see. Oh did I Oh, that's dope.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it's cool, you know, I think it's it's cool.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've like fully processed that. You know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to come back and you know, prove
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I can perform at a high level, and all the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: numbers and all the other stuff will take care of stuff.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I still feel like I got things I can work on,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm excited to go into the off season and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: work on those things, and you know, we'll see where
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: where that takes me. See, I think it was, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: we didn't execute as well as we needed to execute.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I think starting early on, we were putting
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: so much of an emphasis into you know, making sure
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that wasn't a thing, and you know, you saw teams
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: start to throw the ball and then you try to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you know, balance that, and then you know, stuff happened.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So I think it's more so just you know, finding
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: way to get out of the field, making sure you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: do your job, and and you know, I'm pretty sure
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I watched the whole season. So if you see me around,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: ask me again, I'll have an answer for you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: In by a couple.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Weeks, it was it was big.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a very very smart individual, a guy
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that sets the edge really really well.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: You know, he's able to rush too.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that you know, I respect
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a lot about his game, is he's able to handle
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the run game really really well. And then when his
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: past opportunities, he's just as good as as past rushing. So,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know, we definitely missed him. We look forward to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: getting him back if I'm here, and you know, I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna be a huge asset.
