Practice this week, 15 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 2: the game the other day, just really all season as 16 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 2: a guy who's kind of been thrust into the situation. 17 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: He's he's had a couple of stars already and he's 18 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: done a really nice job and just stepping in. He's 19 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: always dialed into his his opportunities and uh, you know 20 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: the game plan, so I expect nothing different. You have 21 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: to step up. 22 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 2: When you were scouting him, did you see him or 23 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: like pre draft did you see there was always talk 24 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: like is he a tackle? Is he a guard? Did 25 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: you see him as both? Like what did you see 26 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: his future as? 27 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think the vision informal was always to be 28 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: a tackle, but he has the athletic ability to kind 29 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: of do both, and he's done both for us, just 30 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, throughout training camp and OTAs and stuff and 31 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: working it. So, you know, I think the vision was 32 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: always for tackle. 33 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 3: Though, real Nacho, how's he doing? Look like he had 34 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: some sort of sea He went inside a little early 35 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: the other day in practice yesterday. Where's he at. 36 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna give it a go again today, get 37 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: some work again. Just just working through the comfortability of it. 38 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: You know, those are some things that you don't want 39 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: to want to mess around with. So if he felt it, 40 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: we just kind of toned it back. But he had 41 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: a couple of days to kind of get back and 42 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: get the swelling and you know, get something that sorn 43 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: us out. So he'll give it a go again today. 44 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: In regards to the design runs, people who look at 45 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: it from the outside this year numbers is you're not 46 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: using his manive design runs postconcussion with Jackson. What do 47 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: you say to that or what do you make of that? 48 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say we we We've been carrying the same 49 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: amount of design runs Run Game QB run game that 50 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: we have really all season with Jackson, So it's just 51 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: it's just a really depends on how the game declares itself. 52 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: We want to use it certain situations that we want 53 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: to use them, you know, So I would say, like 54 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: the game, how the game is going to roll will 55 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: kind of determine when and where we want to use 56 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: those things. But they're always kind of a part of 57 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: the game plan. 58 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Record is the world record guy? 59 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 3: What do you what do you see with Ashton genty 60 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 3: and what kind of challenge do you see him presenting? 61 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, he's he's he's he's one of those backs 62 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: that you really got to understand where he's at and 63 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't take many plays off, but where they have 64 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: him located is heat the backfield is where's he at 65 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: in the backfield and dot offset. He has ability to 66 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: kind of break it from anywhere on the field as 67 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: a running back or as a receiver out in in flat. 68 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: So we got to make sure we, you know, rally 69 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: to him, get him down. He's's not gonna take one. 70 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be a gang tackle type mentality 71 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: where we can get this guy down because he can 72 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: bounce off. He's got great run through contact, great strength, 73 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: great speed, He's he's a special. 74 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: Player relationship with Pete Carroll. Have you ever crossed path? 75 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: I have not, have not, but I've always respected him 76 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: from AFAR watching.

You expect like them to 89 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: come out desperate, you guys to come out to anything 90 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: like that. 91 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: I does expect our guys to play our game, play 92 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: our game plan, go and execute our game plan. I 93 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: think they're on the right friend of mind, and you know, 94 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: having the meetings today, being the bounce around those meetings, 95 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: I think they're in the right firm of mind. So 96 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: it's about today, just putting together a good day of 97 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: work so we can go out to Vegas and have a. 98 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: Good day such the building. People you know want whatever 99 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: you know, and they look at the game as different 100 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: maybe perspective obviously that the players do. What do you 101 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: look at where you guys are at as what the 102 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: player's motivation as at this point? 103 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all We're all in this thing together. So 104 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: I think we all have the same vision and all 105 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: the same mindset in terms of putting together a great 106 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: game plan, going executing that game plan, mastering it all, 107 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: and then going out to Vegas with the right friend 108 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: of mine to go find a way to win. Whatever 109 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: that takes, you know, whatever that takes offensively, defensively or 110 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: special teams, you know, having to find a way to 111 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: get a win at the end of the game. 112 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: What is it though, that motivates players at this point 113 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: of a season. What do you use as a coach? 114 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: Is a personal pride? Is it individual? Do you look 115 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: at it? I think you try to use all of it. 116 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I know as a former player and being in those 117 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: locker rooms like we are a bunch of competitors. The 118 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: coaching staff that we have here is a bunch of 119 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: competitors and so we want to win and I think 120 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: our mentality is not going to change from that. Our 121 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: mentality is to go in there and find a way 122 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: to win.
