We're not Seattle East. We're our own Atlanta, and there are definitely things I learned from Coach Carroll. He had probably the single biggest influence on my coaching career.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
During my draft process, I had Seattle come and work me out. This is one of the places where I thought I might be drafted. I'm glad it worked out I'm here.
That whole rivalry with the fans is not something that I can pay attention to right now. This is my new home, and whatever I can do to help out Seattle is what I need to do.
I loved growing up in Washington, but I have been a diehard, 100 percent 49ers fan since I was 11.
I can't say anything I don't love about Seattle.
Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.
This is Seattle. We're supposed to have superior taste.
Traditionally, Seattle has been a great sports town and great football town. What the Huskies have achieved over the years has been pretty amazing. That's how I got my first taste of football - when I went with my father to Husky Stadium.
The situation at Buffalo was a rough situation, and I appreciate the opportunity, but going back to Seattle was a better situation, even though I'm not the starter. I've got a chance to get back with some familiar faces, back at a place I'm familiar with.
I am a diehard Seahawks fan because I'm born and raised in Seattle.
