all right first off I just want to start off by saying I think our equipment staff and our athletic training staff should definitely get a raise I think that they did a tremendous job I think if you see the things that they do day in and day out our equipment staff literally has to stay overnight just to be able to put our stuff back where it’s supposed to be to get us ready to be able to practice and stuff again literally they barely even sleep we come back on Monday we got seven eight hours in still pulling the all nighter just to help us the athletic training staff and I couldn’t tell you one time one of the trainer athletic trainers went back with me right after the game so we can get some treatment going to get ready for the next game so I mean it just speaks volumes um the people that we have in this building and been blessed to be able to know them um some of them for 10 years some of them for six some of them for one but definitely got to get them a shout out oh my bad I messed somebody’s stuff up oh I still recording what was today like like was it different than any other day maybe maybe this is it for you in Seattle or whatever oh I mean I think it was a I think it was a good game um I mean I felt like this last year so um obviously you never know when it’s going to be the end um you know because I kind of plan on playing again I know it’s not the very very end it’d be different if I was retiring but um yeah I mean I think it’s you know always going to be somewhat sensitive just because um this that could have been the last time you put on a jersey so I’m glad I ended with a catch you know just in case um glad we ended up with a win and you know one of the cool things was like in in the beginning of my career it started off first the Rams and maybe the last game of my Sea’s career possibly it ended versus the Rams and we was able to win that game but I mean just truly incredible um just glad we was able to win glad we was able to fight back um regardless if they had their players playing or not and yeah I mean I went out there and you know I just played and yeah you might have some emotions and different thoughts that go through your head but um you got to get all that stuff out or learn how to play through it when you’re out there in the game I saw you after warmups you stood at the 20 yard line and thre some passes and post always do that yeah I always did that and then um when we got Mike as our head coach I didn’t know what I could and couldn’t do you know I used to do it a lot um when P was a coach and so I kind of had to figure out his schedule and how we did certain things and so I kind of picked back to doing it um I think after by week and then I hit it twice today but it was cuz one of the games I think when I got the Steve largon award I didn’t hit it and so you know I’m like I gotta make sure I hit it twice and so yeah pretty good pretty good at throwing the ball they if they said they want you back you come back regardless Ah that’s an agent that’s an agent question you you know um I think it’s going to be a lot of conversations and I don’t really know what’s going to be said or what’s going to you know like it’s easy to say that we want you back but I mean you still got to be able to have those conversations and figure out like what’s going to work what’s not going to work like what’s the role going to be like all that different type of stuff um all I could really do is enjoy the fact that I’m about to have a girl and you know learn how to take care of her and two dogs and from there I just let my agent kind of talk to him and kind of see what it is that they want to do and how they want to go about using me and how they want how they see me fitting with the team but you know regardless man 10 years with the same team I think the only people that’s done it since I’ve been able to play on this team was KJ Bobby and Russ and so I mean I think it just well it makes it like it’s easy to play for 10 years for the same team when I played with three of them but it’s very difficult to do um just being able to play in the NFL and so for me um I don’t take it lightly I I think I’ve had so many great relationships with not just the players but everybody that’s been inside of the building from people on the second floor the people on the third floor to our nutritionist to the strength and conditioning coaches they need to get a raise too by the way both of them um but yeah I just think overall man like that’s what makes coming into the building fund when you have relationships with people outside of football it makes you excited to get up to be able to go and try to achieve this journey that we’re all on to try to get to the playoffs to win the Super bowl or just create a team that wants to be able to play for their coaches that wants to be able to play for the community in the city and so I appreciate the city too man I I think the city is amazing I always view Seattle as a college town and yeah maybe this isn’t the end maybe it is the end but you know I always will be a Seahawk through and through is that something you would watch down we can call John and Joey up here right now think that would be easy for everybody right like I mean I don’t know I mean I’m sure they kind of have their time frame um people that they want to extend people that they want to talk to and and I’m sure it’s a lot of stuff they got to figure out so um you know I’m going be patient kind of like talk to my agent see what he thinks and stuff like that and we’ll just kind of go from there but you know um I’ll probably have a lot more to say tomorrow when we exit meetings but I mean I just appreciate everybody I really do I don’t really cry like that how would you evaluate Mike 10 wins only coach in Seahawks history to do it I mean you know I think that says a lot um it’s hard to get 10 wins just in the NFL in general the fact that we was able to get it on his first year I think that’s incredible yes we missed the playoffs the projections were what five wins in the season I definitely would have made a lot of money had I put in on a parlay had I not played football this year because I believe that we would have win won way more than five games but I mean it just says the type of culture that he’s trying to bring um it says a lot about the people who believe in him the coaches that he selected to be able to make this thing work and you know we just got to make sure man that we don’t lose to these NFC teams because those are the things that hurt you when it gets to all right does the strength of schedule fit what does the division look like what does the conference wins look like like when it comes to the records because that’s the thing that hurts us cuz I think we tied with what maybe somebody else I don’t know we tied with the Rams but they beat us when you go all the way to like the fifth or the sixth thing and so we can’t just shoot ourselves in the foot we got to be able to go out there and win games and um we won this game and it was close but we got to be able to make sure we’re winning more games um when it’s close ear that you wants to go out there and break your record you guys tied and your guys Nam will be in the record yeah I think I I mean shout out to ja for wanting me to still be right there beside him so um yeah I think I just found out that we tied when I was walking out to do another interview but I mean I think that’s dope man like um at least I’ll be able to share it with somebody sometimes it’s lonely up there at the top and so being able to have somebody that you know was able to come be a part of the team and took off in year two it’ll always be cool um at this moment just to be able to talk about how great of a player jsn is how I think is going to continue to thrive and continue to do a lot of great things as long as he continues to get the same opportunities that he’s getting and and it’s kind of cool to share um that in the record book with him for sure think hey man I think Gino left it all out there on the field I mean obviously you know people saw him limping and stuff out there but I mean I think he was just incredible with just being able to lead us back to Victory and just being able to seal the win um hopefully he was able to reach his incentives and stuff like that we were definitely shouting out Li because Li hit his incentive but um yeah man even besides all of that man it’s just the fact that everybody on this team wanted to play for each other they wanted to go out there and they wanted to win and it makes football so much easier when you know the next man cares just as much as you care it’s hard to be able to get that because in the league you get paid so much money and so many people could have tapped out and said you know what I’m ready for free agency or I’m ready for the off season so I could get away from all of this stuff and the biggest thing that you always hope is to have a team that could be able to buy in not just when Camp starts because everybody’s ready to prove themselves right but when you get to this part of the season when it’s um November December beginning of January you’ll be surprised with how many people usually like are no longer bought in and this team was bought in from the very jump even when we were on that losing game streak and fans were going crazy people were going crazy it didn’t matter people still bought in and I think it showed like who we were as a team and who we’re we’re continue to be all right appreciate y’all man I give God all the glory happy New Year thank you needs a raise too digital media come on and video crew and media everybody else that I didn’t name
