“One Play at a Time” (with Pat Harris)

[dramatic music] We owe it to them just by having a great day, you know? Just being us.

Loving each other, man.

Just, um, great perspective, you know.

Just how blessed are we that we get to go, go do what we do with you guys?

[dramatic music] And that is how we begin another episode here of the official Hard Knocks podcast.

Welcome.

I'm Andrew Siciliano.

You just heard Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald, in the middle of episode four, being vulnerable in front of his team.

This episode is about vulnerability, it's about the human element, it's about the agony of injuries, and it is about the toll that this game takes, and the resolve it takes to make a team and to go out there every single day and put your body on the line.

Thank you for being here, friends.

We're thrilled to have Pat Harris coming up shortly.

He is the director for NFL Films, for these Hard Knocks episodes.

Pat is a Buffalo native.

He was on last year.

He got to shoot his hometown team.

He's gonna join us from Nashville, where the Seahawks were doing the joint practice thing.

We'll talk about that shortly as well, what that means and how significant those are.

In Nashville, after the joint practice, and after the Jake Bobo injury, and before the big barbecue and the rookies getting on stage and showing their musical talents as they took their talents, uh, to Nashville.
