1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: In terms of practice today, for y'all, Malik is still 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: in protocol, so he won't practice. Other than that, that's 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: the update I have for him. Motor won't practice, he's 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: groin and then Phillips in a dory. They won't practice. 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: They'll be out here doing work on the side, as 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: will Motor. Neighbors won't. No, he's still in the protocol, 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: so you know those tucked it up at that before 8 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: with Darius, take that, however, comes he's as he progressed 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: to the point where he's been able to do some 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: running or any of that. Is he at that point 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: of the protocol? Yeah, he's He's in the early stages 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: of it right now. So again we'll just take it 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: day by day with him, really join. Other than that, 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: I have no update other than he's into protocol and 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: just hope he continues to get better. 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: Do you prepare for this game as if he's not 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: going to be available, Well, you do. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: That when anytime you have guys that aren't practicing, you 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: make sure that you have contingency plans. But hopeful and 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: if not, well we'll have a plan. He's such a 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: big part of your team and if you're offense, what 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: where would you go or what would you look like? 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: You think with that? Yeah, again, let's wait to see 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: where he's at. The guys that are out here with practicing, well, 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: we'll go ahead and take the reps. You know. That'll 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: give Jalen more reps today than he's had in practice. 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: So everybody's gotta be ready to go, right. It's singletary. 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: Is that a long term issue? 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: Would you not? 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Pat, He's gonna do some stuff 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: on the side. We'll see where he's at. He ran 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: on Monday. I'm hopeful for him, but again, a couple 33 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: more days see where he's at. He came out of 34 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: the game with that he did. Yeah, you got two 35 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: guys you can return for my r Adams and Johnson. 36 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: Are you planning to start there? Fox, Matt, Matt Adams? 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: We will today? Nope not. Adams will start his twenty 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: one day window. Sorry at the corners the Dori and Drew? 39 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Where do you? What's your early all look on? I 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: think today will be Today will be a good day 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 1: for him. They've made progress. Dan. Hopefully the next couple 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: of days we can we can see more progress out 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: of them, so they'll be ready to go, but I 44 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: can't say they will. Be got to make sure you 45 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: see it when the other guy like McLeod who when 46 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: you're in the spot you can claims that you play, 47 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: they can move around. Yeah, it's important position flexibility, particularly 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: for the guys that maybe aren't starting right away. And 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: you know McLoud has done a lot of different things 50 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: for us, I would say, not just on defense, but 51 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: in the kicking game. So there's flexibility there. He's played, 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: like you said, he's played outside, he's played inside. You know, 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: it's like a fourth receiver if you will, that can 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: play multiple positions because they're going to have to if 55 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: they're not not the starters. So that's that's important. 56 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: What have you thought of a Gino as a quarterback 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 3: in this league. 58 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: He's playing at a high level. 59 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: I mean he. 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: You know, he's a veteran now, but he's you know, 61 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: he's done a really good job when he's to take 62 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: last year this year here to start out obviously through 63 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: for a bunch of yards. You know, he's kind of 64 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: back and forth game there for a while. He's got command. 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: I know it's a new offense with Ryan there. He 66 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: looks like he has command of what he's doing. He 67 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: has I would say, very very good skilled players around, 68 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: and he gives those guys chances. You know, when Metcalfs 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: one on one. You saw it the other night. It's 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: an inside fade and he's a hard hard man to cover, 71 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: how big and strong and fast he is. And Smith 72 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: and Jigbo has really come along, and I'm doing a 73 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: great job in the slot. And Locket is Lockett. He's 74 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: been a consistent pro throughout his career. And then you 75 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: add you know, this Walker, who I think is one 76 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: of the better backs in the league. Was obviously excellent 77 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: at Michigan State, but he is a I mean, he 78 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: is tough, he's elusive, he breaks tackles. And charbon A 79 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: is a good player too, So I think, you know, 80 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: Gino is the guy that leads it all, does a 81 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: good job of getting the ball to those playmakers you 82 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: know at tight end as well, but they all have 83 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: good roles, good players, and Gino is you know, I 84 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: think for the last couple years, been playing at a 85 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: high level. 86 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: When you deal with quarterbacks so often, when a guy 87 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: does not make it with his first team, that you know, 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 3: drafts and bounces around a little bit and now settles 89 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 3: in and looks like a really good player. Do you 90 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: look at a guy like that a little different, Like 91 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: there's a little bit of a toughness quotient to a 92 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: factor or something to the guy like that. 93 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you have to. I mean, you go 94 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 1: through sometimes, you go through some tough times. 95 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: You know. 96 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: It seems like the past few years a lot of 97 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks have been going through a fair 98 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: amount of that. And you know, he's played football in 99 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: a lot of different places and he's he's a veteran 100 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: that's really settled in and is making really good decisions 101 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball well. You know, you can see how 102 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: he bounches back in games too. You know their first 103 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: game against Denver, sacking on the first play, interception and 104 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: the next play they just keeps on trugging a long. 105 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Got a lot of respect for him, and you know 106 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: his career and journey in this league and how he's 107 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: playing and looks like leading their team right now. 108 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: The fact that this will be a third year in 109 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: a row you've seen them that's kind of a weird scenario. 110 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: But because of all the changes that they've had with 111 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: new coach and all schemes are there anything, Is there 112 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: anything you can take from the last. 113 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: Two years other than well you look at some matchups, 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: but it's more, you know, it's a new new year. 115 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: This year, they've you know, they've played four games and 116 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 1: and overtime against New England and was back and forth. 117 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: The Denver game they kind of nip and tuck and 118 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: then they took off, and then they really played a 119 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: good solid game against Miami. Then even you know, Monday 120 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: night game against in the Lions, it was back and forth. 121 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: It was a lot of yards, a lot of points 122 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: in that game. And I know Mike Donald got a 123 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of respect for him. You know, they've started 124 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: out fast and got three good wins under the belt. 125 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: And it's a tough place to play at Seattle. Yeah, 126 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: obviously has the Baltimore where it's Is it anything similar 127 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: to what you were used to you guys were going 128 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: up against here with with waynet Alaska. Yeah, well, I'd 129 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: say Mike runs his own style. Obviously, there's roots, that's 130 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: where he came up. He's you know, was at Michigan, 131 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: did his own thing at Michigan. You know, he was 132 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: at Baltimore when we played him. You can go back 133 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: and watch that game, but you know that was years 134 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: within the system. So there's you know, the system starts 135 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: out and I think, you know, Mike has evolved the 136 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: system the way that you know he likes to call it. 137 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a good coach. Got a chance 138 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: to meet him at the owners meetings really for the 139 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: first time and have good conversation with him. Smart smart guy. 140 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: What did you think Charles Cross in the draft process 141 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: and how have you seen him develop? We liked him, Yeah, athletic, 142 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: good feet. I think he's improved, you know since he's 143 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: he started. You watch him, but he's I think he's 144 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: a good tackle in this league. But he was very, 145 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: very athletic at Mississippi State, and you can see that 146 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: athletics show up in the league where he can transition, 147 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, keep his balance. He does a good job 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: and pass pro. 149 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: Your dilution is your pass rush. At this point, what 150 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: have you guys been trying to shore up there in 151 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: this many by week? 152 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say, you know, there's some good things. We 153 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: have quite a bit more sacks at this time of 154 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: the year than we did last year, but there's still 155 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: a lot of room for improvement. You know, those four 156 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: guys are you're starting to gel in terms of pass 157 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: rush games and communication and that, and that's the work 158 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: in progress. But you know there's been some good and 159 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: there's been some you know, obviously things we can keep 160 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: on working. 161 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: Such a so physically unique. 162 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he seems how do you how do you prepare 163 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: for that? 164 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: Obviously you've got a guess a. 165 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: Couple of times. 166 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard. I mean it's you know, you can't 167 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: simulate the strength, the size and the speed, but you 168 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: do the best job you can out here. And but 169 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: he's he's talented and talented guy who is has all 170 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: those qualities that big, fast, strong, explosive of competitive plays 171 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: the right style. It's a good player year underlayer. Has 172 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: he taken this game to another level out there? Yeah? 173 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Again another guy that he's he's a very smart player. 174 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: We knew that obviously here instinctive has made a couple 175 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: of really good plays for him to start this year. 176 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: I know he's he's out has a quad to see 177 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: where he's at. But you know that type of guy 178 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: is with the right mindset that works the right way, 179 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: you really won't expect anything else. What are your experiences 180 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: takeaways of playing in Seattle. Yeah, no, it's it's it's electric. 181 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: It's it's a hard place to play. We're gonna have to, 182 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: you know, try to simulate it the best we can. 183 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: But it's it's loud. Communication is you know, can be 184 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: an issue we have to do a good job of. Again, 185 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: the way you practice it is you blare it as 186 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,599 Speaker 1: loud as you can blare at Jordan and make it 187 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: hard for those guys to communicate during practice because it's 188 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: usually it's usually pre allowed there. So it's a cool 189 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: place to play, just with the atmosphere and the and 190 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: their fan base. It's it makes it challenging on an 191 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: offense communication wise at times.
