Welcome to the Seahawkers podcast.

I'm your host, Brandon Shultz, and today I am joined by a few of my good buddies.

We've got Clinton Bonner.

We've got Adam Emmert and we've got Phil Leidick.

And we are just Joan Vinson for some offseason content

boys as one of the things that we're looking forward to ahead of the schedule,

or at least that's happening later this week, is we're looking forward to our Seahawks being

even better than they were last season and we're going to talk about exactly why that is, Clinton, why this team is going to be even better than last year's championship Seahawks team, buddy. Yeah, double, double Lombardy's boys. You know, you got to go back to back, of course, and stick around for the second half or the first half. We'll figure it out. But we're also going to talk about the ways in which we could miss the mark a little bit. Hey, Adam, it's a pretty darn high mark because after last year, you know, there's only one way and that's through and that's to another Lombardi. But we're going to talk about how it could be better and maybe how we can actually be, maybe a little slippage might be happening. What do you think, but? Hey, I love it. Phil came up with the idea. And look, there is a possibility. Things aren't quite as good as they were last year. There's a possibility. It could be even better. So we want to talk about them both. And Phil, I think we're going to start with some of the things that maybe might cause a little slippage, as Clinton put it. That way we can finish up on a good one. Because I don't know about you guys. Like, when I'm at the driving range, I can't finish out a duff. Like, I got, I got an actually yoke one and then, you know, put the club back in the bag and call it a day. So that's what I'm thinking. I agree. And as we were talking

about this, I'm like, oh, I thought this was a great idea. And then I realized we can't do better than

be champions. Like the actual result is hard to be better. But I believe we can have a more even,

even more dominant team, like a more certainty going into say the NFC championship than we did, which was just barely

above 50-50, I think last season. So there could be some things about our team that are

shining more to where we're crushing it even better. So by that mark, we can be better. And we do

need to talk about the fact that when you hit the top,

things could get worse, which we don't want to hear. Of course, I don't want to hear. Can we just

skip past that part? Or just tell our listeners, which we're to fast forward to.

Yeah, we definitely can't be balanced and talk about both, you know, for people's delicate

feelings. Do you not understand

how YouTube works? You can only hype your team. Otherwise, people will comment about how much

of a moron you are for not being hyped enough about your team. I'm totally used to it. It doesn't

hurt my feelings anymore. Like, I took the waterproof pillowcases off my pillows. I don't cry myself to sleep over the comments anymore. It's great. It's fantastic. Well, that's good. At least, at least one of us got there. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'm not there, Brandon. Just with the record, I still get real emotional about it gets me in the emotions those those comments but all right let's start off

on the downside how are we going to be worse fine yeah even if it's unlikely because it's probably
