John, I don't think

seahawks fans are quite ready to move on from the super bowl so i might take a couple steps back

and go to super bowl sunday what was the environment like in the locker room after the win

oh i mean it was a great time the guys rightly we're celebrating a great performance and uh yeah i mean everything you'd expect the the cigars the beer flowing

of course some of the shadow boxing the guys like to do and yeah I mean it was just uh you know it wasn't

like I one thing in those issues the sense of like I think they all were pretty much. Like, they were so confident all week, and I think they just knew that if they were themselves and played their game, that they were going to win and probably win convincingly, and that's what they did. So they really enjoyed it, but I also think there was some kind of almost sense of expectation that that's where it's headed. Did it plan out or play out the way that you thought was going to play? I think we were all pretty confident, right? Well, like we felt like this team was the better team, but was it the type of game that you thought it was going to be?

fans everywhere.

It just seems like great defense is appreciated maybe more as a fine art than a football

viewing pleasure.

That being said, it feels like Seattle really tapped into a formula that can get them to another championship, no?

Yeah, for sure.

I mean, with what Mike McDonald's created all that defense and the personnel that they brought in, like, that's very repeatable.

I'm not saying guaranteeing you're going to go 14-3 every year and win the Super Bowl,

but you look at really what that defense has been for a year and a half now of two seasons of Mike McDonald,

and you look at who's under contract going forward.

There is no reason to expect this to be anything other than a really darn good team next year

that's going to be right in the
