  Speaker 2: He's been a fan favor in the locker room for sure.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: More Bobo is the thing that we like to say
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: in the locker room, Get Bobo the ball does everything right.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Man, he works really, really hard.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I know when you throw a rookie out there and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you get zero Emmy's and practices and you know, I'm
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: not saying he's gonna do zero the whole time.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But he does the right thing. He's in the right spots.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: He knows his job and knows his assignment, and that's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: really all you can ask for him because you know
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: his physical ability to take care of everything else.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Have you been impressed with where we'll lose at Yes?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, taking a lot of reps with them in camp
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and mock game here and even tonight. Great presence about
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: him up there calling everything out, controlling the old line,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: getting everybody set, and you know, I've been extremely impressed
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: with him. I think we have a really cool relationship
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: with how many reps we've ended up being able to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: get with each other. And this guy's the limit For
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that guy, I think he can be a really good player.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Pick a Holden touchdown, big alors. He's he's so much
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: fun to be around. I was very, very excited for him.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Those are the moments that, like it's weird to say,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: being fifth year in this now, preseason games are really
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: fun because you get to see guys go out there
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and make plays that you know, I mean, Holten was
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: an undrafted guy. You got to go out there and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he threw an NFL touchdown and just seeing the smile
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: on his face in the locker room, being able to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: give him a hug and stuff. It's just it's really
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: cool to see those moments, and preseason is.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Great for that. Its just how we threw it up,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just how he drew it up.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: We definitely want him to be getting hitch chucking up
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a nine ball and making him play.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: That's what we designed for sure. Why'd you sign back man?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: A plethora of reasons. One Coach Carroll has been fantastic
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to me since I've been here. The way he runs
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: this program, in this organization, and it's it's fun. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: want to come to work, you want to get better,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you want to be there with your brothers in.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: The locker room.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And I think an environment like that, you know, I don't.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I just don't think every place has it. And this
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: place was special to me. Shane Waldron has done a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: fantastic job in my eyes through watching it last season,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: with the way he called plays for g and the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: system that we run. I feel comfortable in it, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just a really great place. It's a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: really great place. I believe in the guys on this team.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I believe in our defense, I believe in our offense.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I believe when we put both sides of the ball
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and special teams in there, this can be a really
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: really good team. And I want to be a part
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of something special. And this place is.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Hope. We've got to Jackson and camping and tonight.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He's going to be a great player. He's gonna be
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a great player. I am extremely impressed with just it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: gonna sound weird, but just the way he's able to move,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the way he runs his routes, they're chriss, they're defined.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He knows how to get open. When you give them
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the ball to he's gonna catch it. He is sure handed,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and I've been really really impressed with them. There's guys
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that you know, walk out on the practice field day
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: one and you your eyes kind of open when they
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: go do their first route or run their first play.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And he was one of those guys for me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And like I said about Olu, I think this guy's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the limit frame as well.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What have you learned about yourself this last year?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: As you said, yeah, one, I think the biggest thing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: for me is just the mental prep that it takes
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: throughout the week. It's different once you get to week six,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Week seven, and you're still having step on the field,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: taking scout reps, finding ways throughout the week to just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: be able to be ready, whether that's stand back with
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Carrie and doing extra work, whatever it may be. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: feel like one thing I've really learned over the last
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: year is just truthfully how to be ready, because I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: felt like I was ready to go into.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Every single one of those games.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And I think the really cool part of it too,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: was you know, you're never disappointed when the Seahawks are
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: winning games, Gino is staying healthy, but man, just the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: want and the desire to get out there on that field.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's just it was very apparent to me standing on
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the sideline last year. But that's not my job.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I'm the second string here, and my job is to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: help you get to where he wants to be and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this team get to where he wants to be. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that's my goal and that's what I'm going to do
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: this year for this team. We thank thank you, Andrew
