  Speaker 1: Place on Monday?

  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just consistency.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think people get tired of me saying consistency,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but I mean that's what it is. You play consistent
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: game all game, and you know you locked in at
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: all moments of the game and you don't give up though.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: How those mental lapses you know, it's it's it's uh,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you do your job every playing you know that things
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: tend to work out that way?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Did H did?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How things how people carry themselves here, particularly Pete during
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that losing street feel different than when you've been to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: other places.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Where you got your money.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, you know, it's been a long I've
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: been here a long time, so try not to go
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: back to those scars of losing.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: What what's different just about Pete? Uh in general? Uh,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: maybe with his consistency weekend and week out, whether you
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: guys are winning.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Number I mean, you guys see him, He's been the same,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, no matter Upstown's hods Low's, it's just who
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: he is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He has a positive mindset that you know I I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I strive to have as a man and I it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty remarkable that he could always be positive,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know, no matter what's going on in the world,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: or or do you.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Play a lot and it plays really long again. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: being able to have a guy like him, he's got
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the experience he does and stuff like that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Being able to that, I guess call on him in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the situation like that hel help kind of volts are you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny because I I I I kind
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of remember a certain person, you know, making it a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a joke when we brought Already back in the off
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: season and look at look at how it's paid off
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of us. So it's awesome to have, you know, people
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that you can rely on, people that's vets in this league,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: that's played a lot of football, that you know, no
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: matter when their numbers called, they're ready to go. So
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty pretty remarkable by him, and just
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: another opportunity for him to.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Show who he is and why he's been drafting and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: why he's played so long.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: So I just think sometimes people forget you know, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: people are human and people have.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: People have better days than others. And you know, Already
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: has been through some stuff.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He's been through some adversity, and he's stood tall, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, he had a lot of inactives last year
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: when he was hearing. He's been active pretty much every game.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So it's it's a remarkable story to see that. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how it always, it doesn't matter how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it plays out, just be ready to win to show time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And you know he was ready and he played a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: great game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What is Mike Jackson's fi physicality bring when he's out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: there throwing guys around on screen and stuff. I mean,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know what you gonna get out of Jack, you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: know what i mean. Never been a surprise since he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: stepped in here twenty twenty one. I've always been a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: fan of his game, and.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just for me.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It's it's crazy because I think a lot of y'all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: don't even know when I got traded here. Detroit signed
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Jack jack Ward twenty eight and Detroit and then he
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: ended up here. So like it's just the parallels in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: life and you know, uh, the things that how small
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the world is and you know the people that you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: be around. But he's always been a hard worker. He's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: always been somebody that you know, knows what he's doing.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be in the right spot. If he gets beat,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go make the next play. And just been
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: able to see him just be physical on that edge.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can do it, you know what i mean.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He's he can tackle, he can cover, he can go
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: get the ball. So I'm always excited to see him
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: out there. And you know, I always have the ultimate
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: trust in him, He's got a reputation.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know, be one of the first guys
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: in the building. Is it really a test worker? What
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: does that look like?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: From some of the insights, I mean, it's true, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. He's the only guy that I've
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: seen ever walking hill with a suitcase every day and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just after a while, I'm just like, what do
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you have in that suitcase? And it was just stuff
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for his body, you know what I mean. He wants
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to take care of his body. He wants to be great,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he wants to put in that extra work. So you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: always see him watching film and you know, you never
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have to question what he says he sees on tape.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: If he sees it, I'm I'm sure it's it's It's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: definitely happened. So it's just a type of guy here,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a stand up guy. You know, he's a country boy,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So just that small town vibes where you know, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you rock with each other and you understand each other.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So it's been, like I said, it's been dope to
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: see you mentioned earlier. People who think you don't do anything.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like your play this year has been
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: unfairly trewe Nze been more than other years. I mean,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. When you want, of the highest paid guys,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you been consistent in what you've done. People expect a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: lot of things, but I mean, you look at it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I got the second most tackles that I've had in
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: my career. So I just I see it, Mike, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I keep it pushing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You feel me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed. I got a beautiful wife and kids at home.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I get to play this game. Seahawks believe in me.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: My teammates believe in me. So who really cares what
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: everybody those thinks? You know, I just know when coaches
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: talk to me after the game, it's been a consistent
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: message all year of what type of player I am.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So I just keep it pushing, Bro, You feel me.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I enjoy these moments. I enjoy the criticism sometimes you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: feel me because I think that kind of keeps you humble,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and I mean, I appreciate it. But I mean I've
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: been making tackles, and I've been running alley and I've
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: been you know, been around the ball.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I just haven't had the same ops that I've had
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: another year.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So I mean, while would guys continue to throw the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: ball at a guy who's top five interceptions since he
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: moved a safety like you ain't gonna get those same mops.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So just one of those things. Bruh. You you feel me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: You you you live long enough, you become a villain,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And you know it's just
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: like that with Wags.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You know when Wags hear that last year twenty twenty one,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: everybody was talking about he was old, blah blah. Twenty
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: twenty two, everybody's crying for him to come back. So
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you appreciate what you got until it's gone. So I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just enjoying my moments and have fun with him and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: continue to be menon else.
