1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to two.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Punk Services.

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: It is the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus, and

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 3: Stacy Rostin. Guys, I wish we had a better Week

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: one to talk about, but that's okay. We're gonna figure

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 3: out what went wrong, what needs to be adjusted for

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: Week two, and then obviously, towards the second half of

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 3: the show, we're gonna have a preview of Week two

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: against the Lions in Detroit.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 4: So let's start with this Rams game.

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: Rams beat Seattle thirty to thirteen, and it was an

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 3: ugly one. LA converts on eleven of seventeen third down attempts. Meanwhile,

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: the offense struggles to pit together just twelve yards in

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: the second half, nine of those coming on the final play,

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: Zach Charbonay with a nine yard pickup. Wyman, I'll start

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: with you, and we will start with the defense. What

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 3: the heck went wrong? This was so much worse than

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: I thought it would be. I knew we'd have questions.

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: I knew we'd have questions, but I didn't know i'd

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: be leaving with more.

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, it's POPA and I were kind of

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: talking about the different personnel that they used, and lots

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: of times they had just two defensive linemen out there,

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 5: and I'm not sure if that's what's we're talking about.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 5: Is that going to be what it looks like all year?

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 5: But you know, look, they were good against the run.

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: I thought they attacked the line of scrimmage that Bobby

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 5: was great. The whole problem was the pass defense, and

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 5: that's something that was really good last year. It improved greatly.

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 5: But the two biggest things to me obviously the lack

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 5: of pressure on Stafford. But the other thing was that

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 5: their pass rush lanes opened up. So for to me,

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 5: it looked like for Matthew Stafford it was like seven

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 5: on seven.

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 6: There's no defensive linement in your face.

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 5: You've got huge gaps and huge like a hallway of

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: you know, vision downfield. And so so that that's the

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 5: big problem. The other thing was on the coverage. You know,

39
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 5: when you play zone, you can't just go cover a

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 5: piece of dirt. You have to look guys up and

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: and I'll throw another one in there. And this is

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: where say somebody needs to blow up a crosser and

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: get a penalty. I mean, that's what's going to happen anyway.

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 5: And the thing is, there's no repercussions for throwing the

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: ball over the middle. The quarterbacks. Now, remember Tom Brady

46
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: talked about that a couple of years ago, and that's

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 5: where I just I love Brady because he was like,

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 5: this is on the quarterbacks. The quarterback should not be

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 5: throwing hospital balls across the miad.

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 6: You know that bump.

51
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 5: I mean, you come back, you you give your quarterback

52
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: the stink guy if he leads you into a big hit, right,

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: And so I feel like that that needs to get done.

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: They need to be you know, we did see like

55
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: a big hit in that game. Really I thought boy

56
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 5: played really well. We're going to talk to but but yeah,

57
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 5: there were there just wasn't any big collisions and there

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 5: was you know, they had a couple of I did

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: a football one on one thing on the little you know,

60
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 5: when they were in a bunch with three wide receivers

61
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 5: and they end up bumping each other off, Trey Brown

62
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 5: and Artie Burns and you know, so there's a lot

63
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: to work on there.

64
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 6: And that wasn't something I.

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: Would have would have expected, just because the past defense

66
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 5: went from number thirty one for two years in a

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 5: row to number thirteen last year. I thought that that

68
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 5: wouldn't be as much of a problem. So the one

69
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: thing is, though, I think they'll clean it up. You know,

70
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 5: they're gonna look at that and say, Okay, you know,

71
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: we've got I felt like the preseason really did not

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 5: do a lot of teams any good. Yeah, you know,

73
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: and I think the Seahawks really were one of them,

74
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: you know. And I was talking to marksial Earth about

75
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 5: this the other day. Sorry to keep going on, but

76
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 5: the preseason has now become who's going to make the team.

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 5: It's so much about that that you don't get your

78
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: starters out there together. You don't get I mean we

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: used to. I think it was the third preseason game.

80
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: I would play as a starter the whole first half

81
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 5: and then come out and play the first series.

82
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: Can still remember that happening not that long ago.

83
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was like supposedly like well that way,

84
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: you know, for the regular season, what it's like to

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: come out of the which.

86
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 6: We all know how to come out of the locker

87
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 6: round half.

88
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: But you know, they just they wanted to see that,

89
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: and we just didn't see that. We didn't see any

90
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: And I get the last preseason game where you're playing

91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 5: all the guys that are on the fringe.

92
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 6: But you know, one or two of those preseason.

93
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: Games have to be because they don't hit it practice,

94
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: and you know, and I thought a lot of teams

95
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: were sort of victimized by that.

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 6: We saw some pretty weird results.

97
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, of the four hundred and twenty six net yards

98
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: allowed from Seattle's defense, three hundred and thirty four of

99
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: those were from Matthew Stafford, who might have had the

100
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: best performance of any quarterback in Week one.

101
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: He was on it.

102
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: So I also want to give Matthew Stafford his due credit.

103
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: But Bump Wyman mentioned, hey, with that secondary, they improved

104
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: from the two previous seasons where they were thirty first,

105
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 3: thirty first, and then they were fifteenth or seventeenth. And

106
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: then Wyman also said, well, now you got to make adjustments.

107
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: What do you do if you're specifically, you know, Clint Hurt,

108
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: and you're looking at this passing defense, you're looking at

109
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: your secondary. What's something you'd love to see them do

110
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: more of in week two?

111
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 7: I wouldn't even say something specifically on the field.

112
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 8: I think it stars during the week.

113
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 7: I think that the secondary guys to get with his

114
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 7: guys and say, look, these are your rules.

115
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 8: This is how you react to this situation.

116
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 7: This is how you pass this guy off to the

117
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 7: next one when they come out in this formation.

118
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 8: This is your alignment. This is how you banjo.

119
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 7: That's one of the guy didn't see banjo's where you

120
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 7: line up to say they're like in a bunch position

121
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 7: and say they have the DV Corn on the outside

122
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 7: and say safety or nick on the inside, and then

123
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 7: these guys switch. Right, Okay, that's a banjo. Now you

124
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 7: take the first guy out, you take the first guy in,

125
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 7: and just work on that type of communication, because there

126
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 7: are times where they just seem confused a bit on

127
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 7: the back end. Is that a result of them not

128
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 7: understanding the game plan or is it the result of

129
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 7: having new guys in there, like Trey Brown and even

130
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 7: Julian Love and not having those preseason games to be

131
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 7: in those situations and kind of sort those things out.

132
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you mentioned that those lanes that it

133
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: was almost like Stafford was playing seven on seven, like

134
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: there was just these wide open lanes.

135
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 4: How does that happen? What's that the result of?

136
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 6: Well, I guess it just it means.

137
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 5: I mean, look, as a pass rusher, you're trying to

138
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: get to the quarterback anyway that you can fits on

139
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: the outside, and then the other guy on the on

140
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 5: uh you know, on the other side of the line

141
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 5: of or defense is doing the same thing. You've got

142
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: this huge gap, so you just have to be mindful

143
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 5: of it.

144
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 6: You know.

145
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 5: There are some quarterbacks where they'll they'll what do they

146
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: call it a mushrush, where it's like, I'm not gonna

147
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 5: turn my hips and get up field.

148
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna slowly close the pocket on this guy.

149
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 5: And I thought, that's kind of what, you know, what

150
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 5: we didn't see, you know, And so Stafford was was

151
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 5: back there with lots of time and then lots of

152
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: vision downfield. So yeah, there was a there was a

153
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: blitz by a linebacker that.

154
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 6: Was really good.

155
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 5: I mean, he was Bobby and he he makes a

156
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 5: great swim move on the running back and gets around him.

157
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 6: But it was kind of too late, and I thought.

158
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: Man, if you just go right through that running back,

159
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: you're right in his lap, right in Stafford's lap. And

160
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: and also it sends a message, you know, it's like

161
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 5: we're gonna we're gonna hit you, we're gonna blow you up.

162
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 5: And I think that's what you're gonna see from from

163
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: this Detroit team. They kind of emulate what to what

164
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: Dan Campbell is all about.

165
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I was personally most surprised by what I

166
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: saw from the offense. And I've tried to tell myself

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: because it was a fine first half, right, Like it

168
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: wasn't the best first half they've ever strung together, but

169
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: they were leading. It was pretty much a dead even

170
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: split in terms of time of possession and total net

171
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: yards for either team.

172
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: Normal game, normal week one game.

173
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: Right, there's still some sloppiness, some missues on either side.

174
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: The second half of the offense, I am telling myself

175
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: was just the result of possessing the ball for about

176
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: two and a half minutes in the third quarter and

177
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.

178
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: What did you see that? A bump? Because to me,

179
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: that's the only thing that makes sense. It's like, look,

180
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: they didn't really get the ball much.

181
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 7: No, they didn't get the ball much, and then when

182
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 7: they did have the full ball, they didn't have too

183
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 7: many explosive plays or positive plays on first down. It's

184
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 7: all about first down. People talk about third downs. All

185
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 7: the rams converted, so many third downs. Yeah, they're in

186
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 7: third and short most of the time. They did complete

187
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 7: some third and longs, but it's like, because they were

188
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 7: able to have success on first and second down and

189
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 7: put themselves in a position to where the whole playbook

190
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 7: is open, your chance to have a success or a

191
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 7: lot higher.

192
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 8: You look at the Seahawks.

193
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 7: There were sacks, there were false stars, there were penalties,

194
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 7: there were so many things going on that in a

195
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 7: short amount of time zonly got what fourteen plays in

196
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 7: and a short amount of time is that they were

197
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 7: just weren't able to set anything up. And when you're

198
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 7: behind and you're not getting pluses on first and second down,

199
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 7: you're not setting anything up. You're sitting there saying, all right,

200
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 7: I hope this works because we have nothing.

201
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 8: We've shown the defense nothing to make them respect something else.

202
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 7: Whien we get in this formation of situation, If that

203
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 7: makes sense Wyman.

204
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: The Next Gen Stats from ESPN had a passing chart

205
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: for Matthew Stafford. You already know what it's going to

206
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: look like over the middle, kind of underneath, you know,

207
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: between ten and twenty yards, just over and over and

208
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: over and over.

209
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: For fans, it's really frustrating.

210
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: Watching for you obviously as someone who's played, What are

211
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 3: you seeing happen over and over?

212
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: Well, I guess, you know, like I said earlier, as

213
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 5: far as the zone defense goes, because that's where they

214
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 5: got beat a lot, I thought, yeah, you know, it's

215
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: funny people will say that, like that's always been a

216
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll thing. Like the completion's over the medal. I

217
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 5: think every team gets gives up passes over the middle

218
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: and yeah, and and you know that's just you know,

219
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 5: it's it's kind of frustrating because you're like, we got

220
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 5: all these guys in there and nobody can cover them.

221
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 5: But I think, yeah, more than anything, it's about anticipating routes.

222
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: I also thought, you know, you have to give I'm

223
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 5: to the point now where I don't like Sean McVay.

224
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: Really intense.

225
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is also that display with DK Metcalf where

226
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 5: his assistant coaches were out there.

227
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 6: Chirping at him.

228
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: I was working through my binocular complaining about it on

229
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 5: the on the play by player Rabel, I'm like, who

230
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 5: are these little Sean McVay clones over there that are

231
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 5: you know, trying to go dkay into a penalty. But

232
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 5: but I do think he he is. He's really good

233
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 5: at getting your number. You know, he knows what you

234
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: can and can't do. And once that started to work,

235
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: they just kept going back to it. But again it

236
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 5: comes down to anticipate the routes because a lot of

237
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: times as a linebacker, you drop back there, you got.

238
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 6: To take a peek, you know, you got to.

239
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: You gotta look back and try to see based on

240
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 5: what you're seeing in front of you. Like if they

241
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 5: run a running back up the middle and he goes out,

242
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: they're going to run a dig behind you, okay, and

243
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: you have to anticipate that because they're trying.

244
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 6: To get you to jump that right. And so it's

245
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 6: a lot of it is anticipation.

246
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 5: And then you know, just not going out there and

247
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: turn around looking at the quarterback because he's gonna look

248
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 5: you off, you know. And a lot of the way

249
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: HiT's a big thing the no look passed now And

250
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: it's not like a huge you know, look all the

251
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: way to your left and throaty right, but it's very subtle.

252
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 5: When you're like fifteen yards away and he's looking right

253
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: at you, he could throw it anywhere in like a

254
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: ten yard area, so that anticipation. I think is is

255
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: kind of what they were missing. And I hate saying it,

256
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 5: but I thought Sean McVay did a really good job

257
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: of sort of picking apart our defense.

258
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, he really did. Bump.

259
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: Where are you on the spectrum of I'm panicking and

260
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: it's week one?

261
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 8: I am. I'm not panicking.

262
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 7: I realized that it's week one, But there's some there's

263
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 7: some urgency though there's no panic. It's like, you know,

264
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 7: you're leaving the house and you know the kids were

265
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 7: supposed to leave in two minutes and my kid doesn't

266
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 7: have his shoes on yet.

267
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 8: I go.

268
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 7: If you don't hurry up, we're gonna be late. You

269
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 7: better tie your shoes and get ready to go.

270
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 8: It's like, I.

271
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 7: See what could happen if this before. I've seen it before,

272
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 7: so it's there. But I know they can do it

273
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 7: because I've seen you tell your shoe fast, all right,

274
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 7: So tell your shoe and let's get out the house.

275
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 6: That's good. I like that.

276
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 5: Anybody that has kids understands that. But also the way

277
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: I look at it is like I sure hope that

278
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 5: one doesn't come back to bite them, right, you know,

279
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: because that really is a game at home that you

280
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: should win.

281
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: Well, and it did come back to bite the Lions

282
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: right like, you never know when those matchups and tiebreaker

283
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: situations can can come back to haunt you, because that's

284
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: exactly what happened for Detroit last season. We are going

285
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: to talk more about Detroit and take a look forward

286
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: to the Lions. In fact, let's go ahead and get

287
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 3: to that.

288
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: Next. This is the huddle.

289
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 9: This this is the Huddle, brought to you by Hunt Services.

290
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Every Thursday from noon to two on Seattle Sports.

291
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 3: You are listening to the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael

292
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: bump As, Stacy Ross and right now, boy, mafe, boy,

293
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: you got one week in the book, sixteen more to go.

294
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: What's the messaging to the team this week heading into Detroit?

295
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 10: Uh, definitely after last week understanding where we were lacking

296
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 10: and what we needed to improve on. So, you know,

297
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 10: as a team, we kind of came together realized that

298
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 10: we had to fix some things and you know, we

299
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 10: had to add things to our sol and just understand

300
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 10: how we play our best ball, getting back to what

301
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 10: we knew, you know, so just focusing on that and

302
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 10: getting back into rhythm and you know that cohesion that

303
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 10: trying to hit that mid season stride early.

304
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 11: So working on that right.

305
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 7: Now, second year in the league, second time going to Detroit,

306
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 7: you got like a routine.

307
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 8: You got.

308
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 7: Now you're comfortable because I remember when my first year

309
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 7: it was like a scramble, like what do I wear?

310
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 7: How do I organize my stuff?

311
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 12: Like?

312
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 8: How was it your second year and traveling again?

313
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 11: Oh, it's definitely interesting.

314
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 10: You know you kind of know what to expect, you know,

315
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 10: last year, like you said, you're kind of figuring it

316
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 10: out on the fly. Now I'm realizing what I do

317
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 10: need or what I don't need, or how I like

318
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 10: what I need to get ready for the game, especially

319
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 10: two day travel all that. So you know, going through

320
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 10: that process and understanding what I like to do on

321
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 10: traveling and how I like to prepare for games. That's

322
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 10: definitely something I've took a big note on well.

323
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 5: And just for everything in your life, right, I mean

324
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 5: coming into your second year, how freeing is that to you?

325
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: Like it kind of frees you up to just think

326
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 5: about football, right, I mean, you don't.

327
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 6: Have to worry about your first year. You're like, I

328
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 6: don't know where I'm going to live. You know, I

329
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 6: got to pay bills I gotta do. You're all you're

330
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 6: used to.

331
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 11: That stuff now, right, Yeah, one hundred percent.

332
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 10: And that's the one thing I you know, I used

333
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 10: last year to understand that, learn that about myself and

334
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 10: what type of schedule and what was going on. And

335
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 10: now that I had that comfortability of that, I know

336
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 10: where I'm living, I know where everything is, and you know,

337
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 10: I know how to prepare for a week. You know

338
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 10: what our weekly schedule is gonna look like and how

339
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 10: we're going to prepare. So now I'm understanding where I

340
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 10: got my time and where to use my time.

341
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: You guys are still going to have a couple of

342
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 3: days of prep so I know that for you guys,

343
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 3: you're just kind of jumping into this. But from playing

344
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: Detroit last year to looking at them this year, do

345
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: they look like a different team?

346
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: Do they look improved? Tell us a bit about what

347
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 4: you're seeing.

348
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, we definitely, you know, especially after week one they

349
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 10: had a strong performance again, Casey, So you know you

350
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 10: take that into account. You look at those things, you

351
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 10: see how you know their office is transformed from last

352
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 10: year to this year. You know, you obviously you go

353
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 10: back and watch it when we played them, right, study

354
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 10: that film, and on top of that, you see what

355
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 10: they're doing this year and see the wrinkles and see

356
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 10: what new things are adding. So he's definitely understanding that

357
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 10: part of like what they're bringing to the table and

358
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 10: prepare for all occasions.

359
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 7: The public it just overreacts, right, and us to us

360
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 7: our job to react to what we see. And I

361
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 7: would imagine that you guys are watching film and saying, man,

362
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 7: if we just do this, that and the third man,

363
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 7: we'll be good to go. So how confident is this

364
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 7: team going into Detroit knowing that you've watched a film

365
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 7: and you feel like all your your wrongs could be corrected.

366
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 10: It's definitely one of those things that where you just

367
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 10: understand is like, all right, we have to get back

368
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 10: on our Like I said, we're getting back on that

369
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 10: groove and getting into that cohesion. Understanding how to play

370
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 10: off of each other. You know, that was like, you know,

371
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 10: our first game, so you got to understand each other.

372
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 10: Some people, you know, they play different. So you're understanding that,

373
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 10: we're understanding how to communicate, how to what's what works

374
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 10: best for everybody.

375
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 5: Hey boy, tell me tell us a little bit about

376
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 5: BT Jordan you're you're past rush specialist. I mean it

377
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: sounds like he you know, he had like his own

378
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 5: business and it's kind of like Cliff Avril, you know,

379
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: does those camps and stuff, like did camps like that?

380
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 6: But how how big of a difference has he made?

381
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 10: Tremendous you know, definitely understanding you know, myself as a

382
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 10: pass rusher. He helped me see things that I probably

383
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 10: you know, looked over and understanding the importance of you know,

384
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 10: the little things. So you know, it's definitely we talk

385
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 10: about pass rush such a detail that I'm understanding, like

386
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 10: how much more important is for you know, the little

387
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 10: things and you know, creating a plan that actually benefits

388
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 10: me as a player and my play style.

389
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 11: So he's been definitely tremendous help.

390
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 5: What are some of the little details and things that

391
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: can you verbialize it or tell us or you don't

392
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: want to give away secrets, but.

393
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 10: Just more so just understanding you know, my tools, you

394
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying, Understand my toolbox. You know, you

395
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 10: go to college, high school, you know, just kind of

396
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 10: just kind of out there just understanding, Oh let me

397
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 10: just do this, it works, okay, let me just keep

398
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 10: doing that. Where now it's understanding like well, actually you

399
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 10: have the body type or you have the skill set

400
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 10: to do this that and the third so understanding that

401
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 10: this may benefit me more for my play style and

402
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 10: my you know, type of play.

403
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll mentioned that this is kind of the time,

404
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: you know, after a tough loss or maybe just one

405
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: a season, starting when the young guys are looking at

406
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: the older guys to you know, see what they're doing

407
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: and what they're saying. When you look around the locker room,

408
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: when you listen to guys, whether it's in your position

409
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: group or outside of it, maybe just on the defense

410
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: as a whole, who's talking, What are they saying?

411
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 4: Who are the leaders? What's the tone?

412
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 10: I mean you could say to assume where a lot

413
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 10: of people know who the leaders are on our defense

414
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 10: and for us it's just the same message. It's just

415
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 10: understanding that it's along. You know, a lot of things

416
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 10: are gonna happen. Things are gonna be up and down.

417
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 10: It's not about how you starts, about how you finish.

418
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 10: So you know, as a group, we're understanding that you know,

419
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 10: right now we can only go up. So now we

420
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 10: were just having that mindset of okay, let's make this climb.

421
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 8: Boy, you remind me of this guy used to play with.

422
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 7: His name's Eric Frampton, right, coolest dude off the field,

423
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 7: and then he got on the field and and something

424
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 7: happened to him.

425
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 8: And I see that to you.

426
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 12: Man.

427
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 7: You get on the field and something happens to you

428
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 7: and you get into the zone to where you're just

429
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 7: ready to go. And for some athletes, it's tough for

430
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 7: them to get into that, right, you guys are elite,

431
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 7: so obviously you found a way to do it. Was

432
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: there someone that helped you kind of tap into that

433
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 7: has that always been in you? In like what kind

434
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 7: of tools do you use to get you going to

435
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 7: get there?

436
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 10: It definitely was something I had to learn about myself

437
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 10: and get it to that point. You know, it's definitely

438
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 10: one of those things where it's you got to separate it,

439
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 10: you know, Like you said, when I'm out here, I'm

440
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 10: in the conversation with you guys, I'm just talking. But

441
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 10: when she get in between those lines, it's it's different.

442
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying. Your mindset has to switch.

443
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 10: You have to understand that there's a job to get done.

444
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying. And it wouldn't be me

445
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 10: if I would be the person just let you know,

446
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 10: let the situation I heard. If I went out there

447
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 10: easy cool, then I'm not going to have the best game.

448
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 10: But if I go and lock in and get my

449
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 10: mindset right, then I'm gonna get you know, the results,

450
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 10: and I play how I want to play. And you know,

451
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 10: it's never perfect, it's never what you always what you want,

452
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 10: but you try to tap into it as much as

453
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 10: you can, and you know, you do small things. Some

454
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 10: people pregame is for them, it's lock in the stadium.

455
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 10: Sometimes for people it's you know that some people will

456
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 10: put a towel over their head, get in the locker room,

457
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 10: you look down, talk to themselves for a second, and

458
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 10: they tap into that person.

459
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 3: I would imagine what it would be like if exactly

460
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: this version of you was on the field.

461
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 4: Matthew High, nice to meet you, help you up.

462
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: I don't think that's that's boy. Yeah, So how long

463
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 5: does it take you to I remember for me it

464
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 5: would be like thirty minutes maybe afterwards, But how long

465
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 5: does it take you to.

466
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 6: Kind of come down?

467
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 5: Because you got to get yourself in a pretty rough

468
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: mood to play this game.

469
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 10: One hundred percent. You know, I have a little decompression.

470
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 10: I give them. It's like you said, thirty I give myself.

471
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 10: But you know, from once I leave the locker room

472
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 10: till I gets in my house, and then once I

473
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 10: say about twenty minutes in the house, then it's like,

474
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 10: all right.

475
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 11: Yeah it's over. Let's you know, work on the next thing.

476
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 6: Right.

477
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Uh, It's always really really tough. Last question here from us.

478
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: It's always really tough when you have a solid game,

479
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 3: like we were talking about how we thought you and

480
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: China like we're pretty solid. Uh, and then you can't

481
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: go to the locker room and be like, hey, you

482
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: know what, I'm not taking this one.

483
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: Like this is good for me? Like, no, what's gonna

484
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 4: be that guy?

485
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: So what I'm going to ask instead is, you know,

486
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: how do you build on your week one? Like what

487
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: are some of your goals heading into you know, even

488
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: just this first quarter of the season.

489
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 10: You know, for me, it's a big thing. Is you know,

490
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 10: if I've ever been like an individual accolade person. Uh,

491
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 10: you know, at the end of the day, I don't

492
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 10: care if I had a great game we lost, or

493
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 10: if I had a tavor game we won. I want

494
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 10: to win at the end of the day, and you know,

495
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 10: at the end of the day that's the focus. So

496
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 10: you know, at the end of the day, you got

497
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 10: a fuck. It's a collective. If you work in the

498
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 10: individuals and trying to get individual goals and never get

499
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 10: what you want. But if you work as a collective,

500
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 10: you work as a team works group, that is when

501
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 10: you start seeing success because that's where individual success will

502
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 10: show up. Brian, for me, I mean going into that

503
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,240

00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: something tells me you've already kind of go back into

525
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,840

527
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 3: was on the template for today? I mean, what was

528
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: the plan? What are you guys looking at?

529
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 11: I think our biggest goal is just to be ourselves.

530
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 11: What we did last week really wasn't us So just

531
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 11: taking advantage of the opportunities that we have to go

532
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 11: out and play. Was a team to you know, go

533
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 11: out when NFC West, you know what I mean, and

534
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 11: then eventually to we do you know what I mean?

535
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 11: That's our goal to be ourselves.

536
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 8: Man.

537
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 7: I think I always show the big some love. People

538
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 7: don't realize how difficult your job is.

539
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 12: Right.

540
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 7: I'm a receiver, so on the outside it's like a

541
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: cover three is cover three four four to one is one.

542
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 7: You guys are going to see a different box this week.

543
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 7: How does the preparation change when you got you go

544
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 7: from one type of box to a different type of box.

545
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 11: It's tough. I'm not gonna lie. It's just trying to

546
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 11: get that easier, but on the same page because it's

547
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 11: a small margin of error down in there, So just

548
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 11: making sure, like like I don't know, de Troy's a

549
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 11: little bit different style similar to our defense, so it's

550
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 11: kind of it's easier that aspect for this week.

551
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then every week you go like from Aaron

552
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: Donald to McNeil and I mean it's, uh but what

553
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 5: do you see uh different? And do you do you

554
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: see like the same sort of quality in in a

555
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 5: guy that's really good or they're different styles and things

556
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: like that that you have to adjust.

557
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 6: To every week.

558
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think there's there's some similarities. I mean, there's

559
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 11: the elite guys are obviously there's some similars how they

560
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 11: beat blocks, but they're also different guys, big guys like

561
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 11: McNeil who just strong and they're stout, you know what

562
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 11: I mean. So this just I mean, everybody's a little different,

563
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 11: just kind of figure out where you fit in.

564
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: What are the ol meetings?

565
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:38,240

591
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 5: Do you think that's a defensive thing. It's definitely thing

592
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: more than more than offense for sure. Who's smarter offensive

593
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,920

00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 8: The smartest guys on the old line there there.

597
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: Who's the quietest guy on the team offense or defense?

598
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: And who's the loudest quietest guy on the team?

599
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,040

600
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 3: might talk when he needs to, but he's so low

601
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: key that like.

602
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 11: You, I mean, I'm up there, but I think Damian

00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 11: Lewis is the quiet.

604
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,520

607
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's got quite a dynamic personality. Like I

608

611
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, Sometimes you want to dress up, but most of

612
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 11: the time it's comfort, you know.

613
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,240

Speaker 8: How has Andy grown over the years.

619
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 11: You just see the maturity of the old line coach

620
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 11: the you're one. He was trying to figure some stuff out.

621
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 11: We're all trying to figure out together. But now you

622
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 11: can tell you has that confidence, that swagger, you know

623
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 11: what I mean. He always talks about that and he's

624
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 11: trying to convey that to us that we, you know,

625
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 11: be more like him, you know what I mean. So

626
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 11: just having that confidence, I can tell he's grown a

627
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 11: lot in the position.

628
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 5: I was always jealous of the offensive line a little bit,

629
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 5: just because there's such a tight group, you know. I

630
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: mean I always say they're bonded by misery because you

631
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 5: guys don't ever get any credit unless the only time

632
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: anybody notices is if you give up a sack and

633
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 5: you get a penalty or something like that.

634
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 6: But but no, it was always a good group. And

635
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 6: tell us about this group.

636
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 5: You talk a little bit about Damien but you know

637
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 5: some of some of the other personalities and how the

638
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: young guys are fitting in and things like that.

639
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 11: I mean, I think it's different than most of the

640
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 11: lines I've been around because we've been told old, but

641
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 11: this year I almost say old part. Yeah, but we're

642
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 11: just so young and you know, like we don't have family,

643
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 11: so we all hang out together and we all just

644
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 11: want to do something outside the boating with each other.

645
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 11: So it makes us well like close knit.

646
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: There's no way you guys go out in public people

647
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 7: don't stop and know this shot. Wait do you guys

648
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 7: go out in public and do people like just stare

649
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 7: and ye are these dudes?

650
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, they're like, oh, like you don't have to play football,

651
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 11: And I'm like, actually for competitive tennis, Yeah, I think

652
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 11: that'd be great.

653
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: I see now, if this is the thing is when

654
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: you go out to restaurants, I know that the waiters

655
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: are like, that's my table.

656
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna eat and.

657
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah good, that's exactly what it is.

658
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 3: Uh Phil obviously, Uh, the offense didn't really get much

659
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 3: of a shot to do much of anything in the

660
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: second half, and we've been talking all week about it

661
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: being really uncharacteristic because we feel like you do right,

662
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: Like our expectations were so different.

663
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 4: We were really surprised.

664
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure you guys also left going like, well, that's

665
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: not us, Like you said, that's not who we are.

666
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: What do you think?

667
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 12: You know?

668
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: Kind of went on to some of the second half.

669
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: Is it things just weren't functioning. How did it feel

670
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: out there?

671
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 11: I just felt like we were on the same page

672
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 11: as offense, and we just weren't being ourselves. We're beating

673
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 11: ourselves too, and not we were making play. We weren't

674
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 11: making the places that we should have making. And guys,

675
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 11: and I mean, I'll be the first guy to say it,

676
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 11: but like I wouldn't my best self and everybody, I

677
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 11: mean a lot of people can say that.

678
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: So, yeah, you were that was pretty exciting this offseason.

679
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: You signed a big contract and everything, and you know

680
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: John Schneider, we I think we recorded an interview with

681
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 5: him right after he signed you and he was fired up,

682
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 5: he was excited.

683
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 6: But how cool was that for you that that off season?

684
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 11: Man, It's it's been awesome. Just it's been different too,

685
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 11: because i mean, before we turn JP, I'm one of

686
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 11: the older guys in the room, just trying to step

687
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 11: into more leadership role and trying to motivate guys and

688
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 11: keep guys playing hard. That's the thing, just playing hard

689
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 11: to play into the ability getting better every day. So

690
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 11: that just this had been a crazy world win for me.

691
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 6: Well, congratulations, man, it's awesome.

692
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, I would assume that coming in on Monday,

693
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 7: there was a feeling of, oh man, you know, we

694
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 7: let one get away, but you guys got to flip

695
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 7: that switch pretty quickly. How How what's Pete Carroll's approach

696
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 7: when it comes to making sure you guys away acknowledge

697
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 7: that we didn't have our best game, but now it's

698
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 7: time to move on and get to work.

699
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 6: Man.

700
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 11: I think Pete does the best job at any coach

701
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 11: I think I've been around. Tell the truth Monday, like

702
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 11: y'all said, and come in this competition Wednesday. You don't

703
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 11: worry about what you did last week. It's about us

704
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 11: and just go out there and compete against the first

705
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 11: team defense.

706
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 6: You know, I mean, yeah, I noticed that Pete has

707
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 6: like a guy.

708
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 5: I think it's Ivan, the strength coach, who's like a

709
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 5: big dude, ye and he's.

710
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 8: Holding get that guy.

711
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 5: He's yeah, like because I remember Robert Solo. That was

712
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 5: the thing about him. I don't know if you remember that,

713
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: but he had a guy that was designated to keep

714
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 5: him from running on the.

715
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 6: Field, and so Pete has that guy. I mean, could

716
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 6: you believe that guy is seventy two years old? I think,

717
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 6: And it's amazing the but did you notice that?

718
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I mean we noticed it. I mean, Ivan

719
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 11: definitely has the hardest job on the field that day,

720
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 11: so I mean, kudos to him. It's a hard job.

721
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: Just walking behind Pete just to take a breath. Man,

722
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: you have more gums.

723
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 6: He was like grabbing him around, and I forget.

724
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 4: What the moment was that Pete was so fired up about,

725
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: but he was heated. He was ready to jump out.

726
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: There might have been a really exciting moment.

727
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 8: But now Pete can get after official.

728
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 5: Sorry with the side judge and everything and every you know,

729
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 5: he's very he's cool about it and everything.

730
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 6: But I love seeing him get after those guys.

731
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 5: And everybody thinks, oh he's a nice guy, new age

732
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 5: coach this and that, but he's still pretty old school

733
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: and here you get after people.

734
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 11: Now we love him, I mean, we love playing for

735
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 11: when we see it just on the sidelines. We're like, man,

736
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 11: we want to play for this guy.

737
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome to hear.

738
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: He is Phil Haynes and you the rest of the offense,

739
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: the rest of this team have a very busy week

740
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: before you hit the road for a busy road trip

741

Speaker 3: to Detroit. So we appreciate your time. We really do

742
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: appreciate you taking time out from a busy week.

743
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 4: Thanks so much.

00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 11: Phil.

745
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 3: All Right, you guys are listening to the huddle. Someone

746
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: Phil is going to be working closely with Gino Smith

747
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: speaking at the podium next.

748
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 4: Don't go anywhere.

749
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 9: This is the huddle, brought to you by Hunt Services

750
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 9: Thursday from noon to two Seattle Sports.

751
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus,

752
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: and stacey're Austin. You're about to take a listen to

753
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: Gino Smith at the podium.

754
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 13: What do you take away from the second half when

755
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 13: you look at it, the things that happened?

756
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 5: Twelve twelve yards of total offense in the half, I mean,

757
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: no first downs except for the gonna be a penalty.

758
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 12: What do you what do you take from? Uh, you know,

759
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 12: three possessions.

760
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 14: I believe it was three and went three and out

761
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 14: maybe one twice I think, and then obviously, like you said,

762
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 14: got the penalty on one. So uh, just came down

763
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 14: to execution, which again we didn't do a great job of,

764
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 14: but really looking forward to, you know, getting this next opportunity,

765
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 14: and so I think we'll be better moving forward.

766
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 12: Obviously we've got to execute and do better.

767
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 14: So you know, it just comes down to us being

768
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 14: connected and making the plays when they come.

769
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: What do you feel like the psyche of the team

770
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: is right now?

771
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 8: It's good.

772
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 14: We're obviously on ones, not the way we wanted to start,

773
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 14: but no one's hanging their head. You know, everyone's looking

774
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 14: at ways to improve, and we're looking forward to going

775
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 14: on the road in a tough environment and you know,

776
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 14: going out there and trying to get a win.

777
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 12: You know, I think.

778
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 14: Everyone's really fo focused, h huge sense of urgency and uh,

779
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 14: you know, we've been practicing like it.

780
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 15: When it comes to the amount of times the Lion's blitz,

781
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 15: is it the frequency that they do it or is

782
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 15: it the scheme and the way they doant?

783
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 12: You know, I think it's both. I think it's both.

784
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 14: You gotta be prepared for the blitz at any time,

785
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 14: and they can dial it up whenever they want. So, uh,

786
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 14: we gotta be on top of that, and we gotta

787
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 14: communicate starts up front. Starts with me with with the

788
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 14: protection calls and everyone being on the same page, and

789
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 14: then obviously, uh, you know, getting it protected and getting

790
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 14: the ball out.

791
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 5: What do you remember about, uh, the crowd noise last

792
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 5: year at Fortfield, playing in that, Yeah, I remember it.

793
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 12: Being extremely loud.

794
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 14: They have you know, obviously in a dome, it is

795
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 14: packed in and they get loud in there. And so uh,

796
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 14: we we know it's gonna be their home opener and

797
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 14: and they're gonna be excited, and so we're expecting and

798
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 14: planning for things like that, and uh we'll be ready,

799
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 14: you know, we'll be ready for it.

800
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 16: With the avout and potentially Charles spending out this week

801
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 16: goes just how much you have in those tackles that

802
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 16: are feeling extremely confident.

803
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 12: Those guys have played a lot for us.

804
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 14: We know those guys, they know our system. Obviously, like

805
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 14: I said, it's tough being thrusted into a game like

806
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 14: last week, but you know, those guys they can get

807
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 14: the job done, and I believe they will. And it's

808
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 14: all of our jobs to help them as well. You know,

809
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 14: they're not out there alone. It's all eleven on the field,

810
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 14: and so I have the utmost confidence in those guys

811
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 14: and I look forward to them going out there and playing.

812
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 12: Well, what does that look like for you?

813
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 17: And you say helping them?

814
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 18: It's up to you also, like, what do you need

815
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 18: to do to help them?

816
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 6: Yeah?

817
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 14: Just strong with communication, like I said, just you know,

818
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 14: getting the calls in, making sure we're loud and clear

819
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 14: and concise, getting the calls in, and then getting the

820
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 14: ball out, you know, if I have to use my legs,

821
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 14: you know, using my legs, just you know, doing whatever

822
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 14: it takes to get the first.

823
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 12: Down on third downs.

824
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 14: And then with those guys in the game, like I said,

825
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 14: they understand our system, They've been a part of it.

826
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 14: They know what to do, and we just got to

827
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 14: continue to go out there and play together.

828
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 12: Have you crossed fast with Jason Peters in any way

829
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 12: for this?

830
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 7: H No?

831
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 15: I have.

832
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 12: What are your first depressions of him too?

833
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 14: I mean he looks amazing, you know, just to be

834
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 14: you know forty one. Don't like to bring up guy's age,

835
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 14: but he looks like he's he's you know, ready to play.

836
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 12: You know, honestly, I think he has has been preparing.

837
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

838
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 12: His body looks physically fit. Uh, he's a he's a

839
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 12: wily vet. You know, he knows the game and uh,

840
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 12: you know, it'd be cool to see him out there.

841
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 17: What what did you think?

842
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 16: I guess where the issues with trying to get the

843
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 16: ball that wild field more a little bit more last week?

844
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 14: Uh, you know, I don't think we had any issues really.

845
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 14: I think it's just the case that we didn't connect.

846
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 14: You know, for us, we're a team, like I said,

847
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 14: who want to have a lot of explosives. But when

848
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 14: we did take our shots, we didn't connect. And we

849
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 14: didn't have a bunch of shots downfield, but we had

850
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 14: a couple, and so I would like to think that's

851
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 14: an outlier. You know, I think we have proven that

852
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 14: we can we can connect on those and so we

853
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 14: just got to make make it happen.

854
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 16: How much different to the Lions look defensively than when

855
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 16: he played them last year?

856
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, they have some new guys out there.

857
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 14: They have, uh, you know, some some different guys in

858
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 14: the secondary, some some free agent signings they also have,

859
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 14: you know, obviously the guys front a bunch of those

860
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 14: guys returning, a couple of new linebackers out there, a

861
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 14: couple of guys they drafted, and then overall, you know,

862
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 14: a little bit different scheme, but not too much, you know,

863
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 14: And so we're expecting them to be exactly who they've

864
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 14: shown us on tape and to have some some different

865
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 14: things as well. And uh, you know, I know that

866
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 14: Aaron Glenn is a great defensive coordinator and I know

867
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 14: he's gonna, you know, have some things dialed up for us,

868
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 14: and uh, you know, we just got to be on

869
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 14: top of it and and communicate, like I said, and

870
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 14: then once we get out there on the field, you know,

871
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 14: make the plays.

872
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 6: CJ.

873
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 16: Gardner Johnson once all the fans that wear blue skiing

874
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 16: as to the game because they feel like they're pains

875
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 16: and taking on that role.

876
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 12: But every thoughts that's.

877
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 14: On that, I really don't have any thoughts on that.

878
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 14: You know, we expect hostile crowds everywhere we go, and

879
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 14: so when we get to the arena, we know it's

880
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 14: just us and uh, you know, we're looking forward to

881
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 14: banding together and going out there and making it happen.

882
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 14: What do you remember about the Lions game last year

883
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 14: just to shoot out, you know, just old fashioned shootout man,

884
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 14: just going back and forth, and you know, really needed

885
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 14: to score a bunch of points to win. But it

886
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 14: was a fun I feel like everyone executed, did a

887
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 14: great job on the road, you know, a loued environment,

888
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 14: tough environment. They sent a bunch of blisters at us

889
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 14: and we were able to handle those. So, uh, we'll

890
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 14: see what the game plan they have for us this year.

891
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 14: But uh, whatever it is, we gotta be ready to

892
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 14: uh you know, adjust and make plays. And you know

893
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 14: it is what it is with last year. Uh, it's

894
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 14: a new season, new game and you know it's it's

895
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 14: gonna be fun.

896
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 12: So what was going on in the screen passes the

897
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 12: first year?

898
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 5: Uh?

899
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 14: I mean we you know, like again, it comes down

900
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 14: to execution, man. Uh it could be one block here

901
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 14: and there. It could be you know, the way I

902
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 14: passed the ball, could be the runner, it.

903
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 12: Could be anything.

904
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 14: It just comes down to all eleven guys executing the plan.

905
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 14: And you know, like I said, we didn't have a

906
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 14: bunch of them, but we had a couple and just

907
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 14: didn't work out for whatever reason. But you know, I

908
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 14: look forward to like getting another opportunity, cause I think

909
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 14: our guys are gonna do a lot better with that.

910
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 16: You mentioned playing on there, he said, it's just, Uh,

911
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 16: is that kind of a mentality you guys like for

912
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 16: road games? I mean, obviously, I know you like playing

913
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 16: at home, but is there something special about being on

914
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 16: the road when everyone's against.

915
00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 8: It like that?

916
00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

917
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 14: It is, you know, you know it is. It's just

918
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 14: us and our and our fans travel well. You know,

919
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 14: they're always in attendance and making us kind of feel

920
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 14: at home sometimes.

921
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 12: But when you go on the road, you know, obviously

922
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 12: it's going to be hostile.

923
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 14: We know that the Lions are you know, they've been

924
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 14: talking up this season for for the entire offseason, and

925
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 14: their fans are going to be excited. You know, they

926
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 14: wanted a big game last week and home opener. You know,

927
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 14: we were expecting those guys to you know, really come

928
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 14: out and show up for the team. And so we

929
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 14: can handle that. You know, we've been in those situations

930
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 14: and us. It's gonna be a huge test for us,

931
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 14: but you know we're we're ready for it.

932
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 12: You know, I believe we're ready for it.

933
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 5: What was Bobby's message when he spoke to you guys

934
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 5: before the practice yesterday.

935
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think Bobby did a great job of just

936
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 14: reminding guys of who we are as a team.

937
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 12: You know, whenever you have a tough loss like that.

938
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 14: You can kind of start looking around and say, hey what,

939
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 14: you know, what's going on? But you know, we got

940
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 14: to know who we are as a team, and and

941
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 14: that's something that you know, we're a confident bunch, and

942
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 14: we got to continue to remain confident and continue to

943
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 14: play with that swagger and that energy. And so that

944
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 14: that was his huge message is just be confident and

945
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 14: have the energy.

946
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 12: What was it like have a.

947
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 5: Jamal back on the practice field yesterday?

948
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 11: Uh?

949
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 14: Man, you can feel him right away, man, just his uh,

950
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 14: his energy, his playmaking skills, the way he flies around

951
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 14: the field.

952
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 12: So happy for him to get back into the lineup. Man.

953
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 14: I know he's been battling back from a couple of injuries,

954
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 14: and I know you know how hard it's been for him,

955
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 14: but he stuck with it mentally and physically. And so

956
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 14: to have you know, thirty three back out there flying around, man,

957
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 14: it was it was great. Really happy for him and

958
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 14: excited to have him.

959
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 19: In all your years playing football, have you ever lost

960
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 19: go with your starting tackles in the.

961
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 14: Same end, not not that I can remember, but you know,

962
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 14: as you all know, man, the game can throw anything

963
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 14: at you and you gotta be ready for it.

964
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 12: And so, uh, we're we're hoping for a.

965
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 14: Speedy recovery for those two guys. You know, they're a

966
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 14: big part of our team. But again, we got guys

967
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 14: that are gonna step up and gonna do an excellent job.

968
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 14: And so I look forward to having those guys out there.

969
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 12: Do you have a preference and we I'm playing on

970
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 12: grass return, Yeah, I mean I would say grass.

971
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 14: You know, grass is a lot better than turf, I think,

972
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 14: but you know, turf isn't terrible, you know, it is

973
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 14: what it is. You gotta play on the surface that

974
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 14: you go to. But you know, everyone likes grass. I

975
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 14: think as long as it's good grass. You know, it's

976
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 14: the nice grass.

977
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 7: Turn.

978
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 12: It's just softer, you know, a little more given than turf.

979
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 14: And I guess the numbers have said that, you know,

980
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 14: more injuries occur on turf than on grass.

981
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 12: But I think everyone likes it. It's kind of better

982
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 12: for your knees. Do you feel it after an artificial

983
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 12: turf game for the days after nature being on the.

984
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 14: Turf, I wouldn't say I feel a big difference, you know,

985
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 14: I think it's kind of hard to say what the

986
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 14: exact difference is. You're gonna be sore after any game,

987
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 14: whether it's on grass or turf. But I'm not out

988
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 14: there running full speed and making cuts, so I can't

989
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 14: really give a proper assessment of that. But I know

990
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 14: guys most of the time.

991
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 12: Prefer grass over turf.

992
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: From a star on offense to hearing from a star

993
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: on defense. That's coming up next on the huddle.

00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 17: lot of fun.

1003
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 15: You were able to do something the very Hue people

1004
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,840

00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 15: an interception?

1007
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 12: What is it about his stuff?

1008
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

1009
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 17: Shoot, honestly, he just uh a pr a really good quarterback,

1010
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 17: you know, a smart guy with the ball, makes the

1011
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 17: right decisions and has a a great old line. And

1012
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 17: when you mix that down with great receivers, you know,

1013
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 17: it's hard to throw intercessions when you got u uh

1014
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 17: uh a real good three of those combos, and I

1015
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 17: felt like he uses it real well, and you know

1016
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 17: it's it's hard to throw intercessions when you got that.

1017
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 17: Who had the his voice.

1018
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 12: In the locker room this week? Is everybody's really.

1019
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 17: Re fa h shoot?

1020
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 6: Really?

1021
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 8: Uh Bobby?

1022
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 17: You know Bobby played a big role because you know,

1023
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 17: Bobby being here this is like Bobby's really first hand

1024
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 17: second home. He been here longer than everybody on the team.

1025
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 17: So really, Bobby got like a strong voice. People like

1026
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 17: to listen to him, and just the guy that he is,

1027
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 17: he carry a lot of weight with him because you

1028
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 17: know he knows what to do in different situations cause

1029
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 17: he doesnet seen almost every single one of them. So

1030
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 17: what a guy like Bobby speaking up? A lot of

1031
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 17: guys trust him because one here leader and two you

1032
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 17: know he a guy you can trust and he been here.

1033
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 16: What does that bet like getting you were here obviously

1034
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 16: when Bobby play here before.

1035
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 12: So kind of getting to know Bobby now, what's that

1036
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 12: kind of been like?

1037
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 17: Honest is pretty cool. Uh as a kid, I used

1038
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 17: to just play the video game and see Bobby on

1039
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 17: there and then now it's y I'm older now being

1040
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 17: able to be on the same team with him is

1041
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 17: pretty cool. And uh, just playing with him and having

1042
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 17: him out there, you can you can tell us the

1043
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 17: difference just because you know, in the run game, as

1044
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 17: you see last game, we did a pretty good job

1045
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 17: in the first half and we could have did more

1046
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 17: better than the second. But as you've seen, you know

1047
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 17: the run game, man, it seemed like it was non

1048
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 17: existent really, So being able to play with Bobby, having

1049
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 17: a playmaker like him, it makes it a lot easier

1050
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 17: on the defense.

1051
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 12: What was the talk that you gave you guys, like

1052
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 12: before practice yesterday.

1053
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 17: Just telling us that basically this is what it was,

1054
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 17: Just telling us that yesterday's yesterday. You can't really change it.

1055
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 17: Just have your mind ready for today because tomorrow you

1056
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 17: don't know what you're gonna get. So today, just have

1057
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 17: your mind ready for today and take care of your

1058
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 17: task at hand and pretty much just be where your

1059
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 17: feet at because he kind of sensed that there was

1060
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 17: a vibe on the team that guys were still feel

1061
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 17: the type of way towards the loss, even though we

1062
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 17: got another big game coming up and it was just

1063
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 17: we won. What was practiced like that after that, Yes,

1064
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 17: we had a great practice. I thought, this type of

1065
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 17: stuff you need sometimes on the team because, like I said,

1066
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 17: Bobby is our leader, so whenever he says something wrong

1067
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 17: with the team, it feels good to know that we

1068
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 17: gotta Goalan see that can uh help us self reflect

1069
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 17: but also help us come together as a team too,

1070
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 17: because that's what makes a team closer. You expect Vin

1071
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 17: to have on this defense, but oh yeah, uh man

1072
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 17: having him back, that'd be pretty fun too. A real

1073
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 17: confident guy knows what he doing out there, plays a

1074
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 17: nickel in outside corner, So that speaks a lot too

1075
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 17: because as a rookie, not a lot of guys can

1076
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 17: play both. So for a guy like him to come

1077
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 17: in and know what to do and know the different

1078
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 17: tools of using coverages and different things like that, it's

1079
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 17: gonna help us out a lot. Because ye whenever you

1080
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 17: have a great player out there on the field, on

1081
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 17: your defense. It raises your defense of greatness too.

1082
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 15: Jared Golf has been pretty good at getting those explosive plays.

1083
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 15: Is that a function of the receivers and the playmakers

1084
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 15: he has or the scheme that they run?

1085
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 17: I can say both. You know, Uh, they they they

1086
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 17: got a good receiver fourteen a mine. He a real

1087
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 17: cool dude. You know, I was at the probo with him.

1088
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 17: Nice dude, but uh man, he have a real good

1089
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 17: receiver too, So uh does a guy like him having

1090
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 17: them on your team, that makes it easier for toward

1091
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 17: somebody to go to. And uh, whenever you're a great

1092
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 17: quarterback like Golf and able to use four team and

1093
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 17: the different receivers they have and know you can have

1094
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 17: a team success.

1095
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 6: They run more crossers than a lot of teams.

1096
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 12: You study a year and after.

1097
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 17: Shoot a little bit. I mean honestly, the NFL, you know,

1098
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 17: team's gonna scheme up whatever they see versus another team.

1099
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 17: So you know, one week may get a lot of

1100
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 17: crosses the neighbor who you may not. It just depends

1101
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 17: on what Covera's just we bringing to the table this week,

1102
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 17: and we may expect the scene across it just because

1103
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 17: of what our game plan is like when.

1104
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 19: You would at the film of the Rams game, what

1105
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 19: would the issues cover the middle of the hield?

1106
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 17: HM. Honestly, we just gotta just lock in more, focus

1107
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 17: in on the little stuff, cause those are the type

1108
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 17: of places see had practically practiced a lot of times. So, uh,

1109
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 17: we just gotta locked in more and just trust the

1110
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 17: stuff that we've been taught and been coached and sure

1111
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 17: enough those type of players was down or make sure

1112
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 17: they don't happen?

1113
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 6: Was last?

1114
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 12: Was the last week thik for you at all?

1115
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 16: Just kind of giving the knee injury and stuff like that,

1116
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 16: that you have the offseason to kind of play the

1117
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 16: whole game and everything.

1118
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, I mean during the game, I didn't think

1119
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 17: it was eighty four snaps, but I mean at the

1120
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 17: same time, your body feeling at the end of the game. Well,

1121
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 17: it was pretty cool just going out there and just

1122
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 17: getting my feet underneath me, you know, not playing no

1123
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 17: preseason and then just having limited practice leading up to

1124
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 17: the game and then just being out there with my guys.

1125
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 8: Was a lot of fun.

1126
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 17: Just knowing in my head that I can come back

1127
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 17: from a you know, a slight knee injury. It's knee procedure.

1128
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 17: It feels good in my head because it gives me confidence.

1129
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 17: So as we start early in the season, last week

1130
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 17: was Week one, and as we go along throughout the season,

1131
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 17: I just learning to trust myself, trust my abilities and

1132
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 17: everything I know I can do.

1133
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 12: What was it like having Jamal back in practice yesterday?

1134
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 6: Oh?

1135
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 17: Yeah, no, that's pretty cool man, Just having thirty three

1136
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 17: out there. I've been waiting for him to be back

1137
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 17: because whenever everything connects together and jails together, you know,

1138
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 17: that's like a complete team. That's the guy we need

1139
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 17: out there. So having him out there, his energy is

1140
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 17: like contagious and he don't even have to practice, he

1141
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 17: just be on the sideline is contagious. So having him

1142
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 17: being able to be out there and go out there

1143
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 17: and make plays with us, and he go out there

1144
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 17: and dominate is just a real privilege and the honor

1145
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 17: to play with him. We've heard that before that he's

1146
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 17: known as like an energreanser.

1147
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 12: What does that look like and sound like?

1148
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 17: I mean, it's hard to like do his energy and

1149
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 17: stuff like that. But shoot, honestly, you just got to

1150
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 17: see for yourself. You know, you just gotta see if

1151
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 17: you're out there doing practice and stuff. Just have an

1152
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 17: eye on him and you will see with all the

1153
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 17: other players and the people throughout this building seeing a

1154
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 17: guy like him, and you know he's he just like Bobby.

1155
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 17: He's a leader, and he's he hold people with accountability

1156
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 17: and credibility. And having him on our team and having

1157
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 17: him back is gonna be a lot of fun.

1158
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 19: All the last summer rookie preseason, you were told, here's

1159
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 19: how we're gonna play defense with Jamal Adams in it.

1160
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 19: Here's what's gonna look like with Jamal Adams, and it

1161
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 19: nearly plays two bus and two quarters.

1162
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 12: How curious are you of what your defense like you said,

1163
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 12: becoming full? What your defense is gonna look like what

1164
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 12: Adams is in it?

1165
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 17: Uh So we already look scary, but with him on

1166
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 17: there's even more scary ones. We just go out there

1167
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 17: in jail and play a full game with great ball

1168
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 17: instead of just one half of great ball. I feel

1169
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 17: like we'll be a team that puts the nation on notice.

1170
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 17: And whenever we have all our people together and be

1171
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 17: a healthy team, you know we a team that can

1172
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 17: be a contender.

1173
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 3: Well that was one Seahawks corner. Let's talk about another,

1174
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: though Devin Witherspoon return to practice fully expected to play

1175
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: this weekend. It's always hard what to tell what to

1176
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 3: expect when a rookie makes his debut. He didn't play

1177
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 3: a ton in the preseason at all in the preseason, Dave,

1178
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: what are you expecting from Witherspoon?

1179
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: What will you be looking for in week two?

1180
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 5: I have no idea, right, I mean we last time

1181
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 5: we saw him really was in was in college, so

1182
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 5: I expect to see that.

1183
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 6: I mean, look, he's a top five pick.

1184
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 5: I feel like he's gonna go out there, probably have

1185
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 5: some rookie mistakes, but you know, the one thing about

1186
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 5: him I think that he can bring.

1187
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 6: Is they need to be physical. They need to like

1188
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 6: the Legion of Boom.

1189
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 5: That's the greatest nickname forever, right, Like you get the

1190
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 5: Steel Kurt and the Purple People Eaters, which is a

1191
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 5: fun one to say.

1192
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 6: Orange Crush was Denver.

1193
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so but yeah, they need to get back to that.

1194
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 5: I wonder what will be the nickname, but I think

1195
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 5: I would love for it to be that. It's about

1196
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 5: something about being physical, about hitting people.

1197
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 6: And that's the thing about Devin Witherspoon. The thing I

1198
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 6: loved about.

1199
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 5: Him bumping in college and States was that he was

1200
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 5: a hitter, but he didn't always just focus in on

1201
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 5: hitting people.

1202
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 6: He's a he's a ballhawk.

1203
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 5: I mean he he really made a lot of really

1204
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 5: good decisions where it was like you.

1205
00:47:58,640 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 6: Could have, you know a lot of times.

1206
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 5: When you you're like do I blow this guy up

1207
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 5: or do I try to go for the pick?

1208
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 6: And he always made the right decision. But I would

1209
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 6: love to see some of that physicality.

1210
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 5: So I feel like he's probably gonna I feel like

1211
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 5: this year it's going to be this rookie class like they.

1212
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 6: Started off, they hit the ground running last year. I

1213
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 6: mean two tackles started running back started, you know, PreK

1214
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 6: wool and yeah, Kobe Bryant was playing a lot.

1215
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 5: I feel like these guys like oh Lua, Timmy and

1216
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 5: you know some of the other guys are gonna maybe

1217
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 5: like mid season, they'll start to, you know, contribute.

1218
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 4: A little more time to adjust here.

1219
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 3: All right, when we come back, we are going to

1220
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 3: talk to the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel. Then

1221
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 3: we got a nice little opponent preview. Help you guys

1222
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: and us I'll understand the Lions a little bit more

1223
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 3: before we circle back to John Boyle, don't go anywhere.

1224
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 4: This is the huddle.

1225
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 9: This, this is the huddle, brought to you by Hunt Services.

1226
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: Every Thursday from noon to two on Seattle Sports.

1227
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 3: You are listening to the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus,

1228
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 3: Stacy Ross and joining us right now the voice of

1229
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, Steve Rabel Rabes. I sure wish you have

1230
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 3: more touchdowns to call in this one for Seattle. It

1231
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 3: was not the weak one that a lot of us

1232
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 3: were anticipating. What surprised you.

1233
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 13: Most, oh, I think the fact that we just couldn't

1234
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 13: get anything going in the second. The fact that last

1235
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 13: year we talked about it that, you know, converting third downs,

1236
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 13: but more importantly stopping the other guys on thirdy. That

1237
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 13: was last season we thought that was fastest and it

1238
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 13: kind of reared it tuggly ahead again on Sunday against

1239
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 13: the Rams. So, you know, have a short memory. Get

1240
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 13: it all out of your system now. Somebody once told me,

1241
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 13: if you're going to take the bath, take a long,

1242
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 13: hot one and get it all over with early. So

1243
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 13: let's get stuff done and let's go on and play

1244
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 13: good football from here on out.

1245
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I tell my kids out all the time, take

1246
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 7: a long high bath, get it over early, and go

1247
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 7: to sleep.

1248
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 8: Stay there, say don't get.

1249
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 5: It sounds like Rabels evening except for a glass of

1250
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 5: warm miepe.

1251
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 13: That's right.

1252
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 7: Something better, Hey, Raves, you've seen a lot of rookies

1253
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 7: make their day views. I don't know if maybe you have,

1254
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 7: but I haven't seen a rookie with this much. I

1255
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 7: would say, pressure on him to just look like a

1256
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 7: number five pick. I'm trying to tell people to taper

1257
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 7: their expectations because he hasn't played a lot of football.

1258
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 8: But what would be a good day for Devin Witherspoon

1259
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 8: for you, well, I.

1260
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 13: Would think, first of all, just getting out there and

1261
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 13: kind of getting into the flow of the game. You

1262
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 13: know you. I don't think anybody's going to expect him

1263
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 13: to step up there and make huge plays right away,

1264
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 13: but you also kind of have to expect as coach.

1265
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 13: Can you minimize those those mental mistakes that are bound

1266
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 13: to happen for a young guy? I mean you're seeing

1267
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 13: you know, you're you're playing in a different system. You're

1268
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 13: seeing things in the pros that you never had to

1269
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 13: see in college. Uh, there are the expectations on you

1270
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 13: as a player and to to be, you know, doing

1271
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 13: the right thing. They're pretty big at this level, so

1272
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 13: I would hope that when we see him that it's

1273
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 13: that he plays fast, he plays small art Obviously, if

1274
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 13: he doesn't make any great, big plays, he doesn't come

1275
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 13: up with a half a dozen interceptions, that's okay. But

1276
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 13: be where you're supposed to be, be a good teammate,

1277
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 13: and and and do your do your job first and

1278
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 13: and then after that all the rest of it will come.

1279
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 13: The game will start to slow down for him. At

1280
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 13: this level. He wouldn't be the number five pick, bubb

1281
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 13: if he wasn't talented. So we know he's got that ability.

1282
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 13: Now it's just a matter of marrying that up with

1283
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 13: good health and with really being into this system. And

1284
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 13: I think I think we're in for a treat. He's

1285
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 13: going to be a good one.

1286
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 5: Steve, all the years that you've done preseason and and uh,

1287
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 5: you know, just the transition to regular season, this seemed

1288
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 5: like a weird one to me. I felt like we

1289
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 5: really didn't feel we didn't really learn that much from

1290
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 5: the preseason, and and it seemed like around the league

1291
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 5: it was kind of that way. I mean, Cleveland just

1292
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 5: totally spank Cincinnati. I mean that that was a big surprise.

1293
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 5: I think this game was a surprise and it seemed

1294
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 5: like there was a lot of that going around.

1295
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 6: But I don't know, does that do you feel that way?

1296
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 5: Do you feel like we didn't really we didn't get

1297
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 5: to see much in the preseason, so, I you know,

1298
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 5: as far as expectations go, it was it was tough

1299
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 5: to kind of judge how that game was going to go.

1300
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, I agree, Dave, And it is what preseason has become.

1301
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 13: And I know Pete has said, you know what, we

1302
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,479
Speaker 13: didn't play preseason. We all know this. You don't play

1303
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 13: preseason games in college. But at least I remember when

1304
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 13: we were in college, and in fact, in the pros,

1305
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 13: you also hit, you scrimmaged, you had game like situations,

1306
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 13: and I know they tried to They try to do

1307
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 13: that at practice without doing all of the tackling and

1308
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 13: all those things, and because you know, you can't afford

1309
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 13: to get guys hurt. But then again, there's no guarantee

1310
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 13: that a guy's going to make it through the first

1311
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 13: game of the season. Ask Aaron Rodgers, you know, ask

1312
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 13: Gabe Lucas and Charles Crost. So it's that's just the

1313
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 13: nature of the beast. But you really, as as a coach,

1314
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 13: I think you have expectations. I think even Pete said this.

1315
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 13: You know, we certainly expected something different on Sunday, considering

1316
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 13: how we practiced, how well this team practiced, how fast

1317
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 13: they were, how they picked up kind of some of

1318
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 13: the new ideas on defense Gino a year further along

1319
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 13: as a starter, and quite frankly, in the second half,

1320
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 13: all that just went down the tubes and we could

1321
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 13: not do anything. Most of all, we couldn't get off

1322
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 13: the field on defense, which didn't allow the offense to

1323
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 13: get out there, and once they were out there, they

1324
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 13: couldn't convert a third down. So it was, as I

1325
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 13: guess that surprising is really not a good word. Shocking

1326
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 13: is probably the best word on how that turned out.

1327
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 3: On Sunday, Rapes, we've been talking about everything that surprised

1328
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 3: us from this game, and rightfully, everything that worried us

1329
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 3: or is worrying us, like whether it's the health of

1330
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 3: the tackles or the play of the secondary or whatever.

1331
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 4: What's something that doesn't or isn't worrying you? For this

1332
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 4: coming game coming out of Week one.

1333
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, ken Walker the Third, he was as good as

1334
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 13: I remembered him last season. He was so quick his feet,

1335
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 13: his ability to make guys miss, his being able to

1336
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 13: deliver a shot, not just take a shot, and he's

1337
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 13: not that big a guy, as we all know, but

1338
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 13: to deliver a shot. He put one of the Rams

1339
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 13: literally back on his wallet when he ran into him.

1340
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 13: That was not a surprise, and it was a very

1341
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 13: I don't know, it was just really encouraging when the

1342
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 13: rest of kind of the offense kind of sputtered to

1343
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 13: a stop, and even in the second half. I mean,

1344
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 13: he did most of his damage in the first half.

1345
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 13: We didn't see him much in the second half because

1346
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 13: now you're behind. Now you've got to start throwing. Now

1347
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 13: you lose your tackles. Now they pin their ears back.

1348
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 13: But the way that ken Walker the Third played, I'm

1349
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 13: encouraged that this offense can con still do what it

1350
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 13: wants to do because you have that guy that's kind

1351
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 13: of your you know, your bell cout rays.

1352
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 7: We didn't see a lot of plays by this offense,

1353
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 7: what forty six or something like that, but we did

1354
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 7: see a lot of different formations, right I saw wishbone.

1355
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 7: I saw two tight ends to the right of Gino,

1356
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 7: a running back behind them. We saw double tight they

1357
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 7: pulled the tight ends. Do you like what Shane Walden

1358
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 7: is trying to set up for this game and the

1359
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 7: rest of the season.

1360
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 13: Well, I think it's I think it's good in that

1361
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 13: you're a you're trying to confuse a little bit the offense.

1362
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 13: You're just doing some of the same things just out

1363
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 13: of different formations. And instead of having two tight ends

1364
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 13: up on the line of scrimmage, one on the line

1365
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 13: and one in a wings position, you bring them into

1366
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 13: the backfield and you have this kind of weird looking

1367
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 13: offset I and it just gives you on defense more

1368
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 13: to think about. Maybe more to the point, it gives

1369
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 13: all the other teams that we're going to play down

1370
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 13: the line more to think about, because now as they

1371
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 13: go through the film, they have to add more and

1372
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 13: more pages to the game plan say okay, if they

1373
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,720
Speaker 13: get into this formation. So I don't know, I defer

1374
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 13: to Dave on that when it comes to playing defense,

1375
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 13: but at some point you just can't say, Okay, forget

1376
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 13: about the formation. We'll just go out there and hit somebody. No,

1377
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 13: you have to study these things, so I think in

1378
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 13: that respect it gives the opposing defense more to look at.

1379
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 13: And it seemingly worked to some extent in the first half,

1380
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 13: but again in the second half, it was just all

1381
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 13: bets are off because we couldn't really protect Geno when

1382
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 13: we needed to, and we needed to connect on a

1383
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 13: couple of clutch receptions and couldn't do that to keep

1384
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 13: the sticks moving. And that doesn't matter if you have

1385
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 13: five tight ends in the backfield. That just is, you know,

1386
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 13: an offense that just wasn't clicking the way it should

1387
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 13: have in the second half.

1388
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Raves, to your point, it tests the defense.

1389
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 5: I mean, when you have all those different formations and

1390
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 5: different personnel groupings and stuff, it's like, okay, you got

1391
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 5: to follow the rules here, and it kind of tests

1392
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 5: whether it makes sense. Last year, Raves, the only I

1393
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 5: remember about that game is well, we won. We scored

1394
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 5: forty eight points. Our spotter that they gave us at

1395
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 5: halftime brought back a plate that had pretzels and a

1396
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 5: hot dog bawn on it.

1397
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 6: I've never seen that before. Pretzels and a hunt Doug. Yeah,

1398
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 6: that was his his meal at halftime.

1399
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 13: But he was he also the one who he didn't

1400
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 13: add very well.

1401
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 4: Or that, No, I.

1402
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 13: Think I a fat guy. And he turned to me

1403
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 13: right before the game he says, you know, I don't

1404
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 13: really add very well.

1405
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 6: Well, my god, not only that he doesn't see very well. Yeah,

1406
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 6: think I.

1407
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 13: Couldn't see very well either as well. That's you know, great, Okay,

1408
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 13: here we go, Dave, get ready to go.

1409
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 6: We're gonna.

1410
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 5: I can add real good. But you know, I think

1411
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 5: we're going to see like this. That place is going

1412
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 5: to be pack man. I mean, I think everybody, uh

1413
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 5: they're in Detroit, they're fired up for this team. And

1414
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 5: it's been a long time coming for Lions fans, right,

1415
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:02,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I think I think it's going to be loud.

1416
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's gonna be nuts, you know, it's it

1417
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 13: gets loud in there anyway. Obviously a dome stadium, we're

1418
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 13: in closed stadium. But they haven't had as much to

1419
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 13: cheer about as as they would like over the last

1420
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 13: two three decades. Last year, you know, being green Bay

1421
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 13: in Green Bay to knock them out of the playoffs.

1422
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 13: I mean, they they second half of the season, the

1423
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 13: Lions played really good football, and they started pretty darn

1424
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 13: well this season by going into Kansas City and knocking

1425
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 13: off the Super Bowl champs. So yeah, the fans are

1426
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 13: going to be nuts. I saw where their new safety CJ.

1427
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 13: Gardner Johnson has asked the fans to wear these this

1428
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 13: this kind of a mask. It's almost like a you know,

1429
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 13: one of those little hats of toboggan that you can

1430
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 13: pull down over your face in the colors of the Oh,

1431
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 13: look like.

1432
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 6: A bank robber.

1433
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 13: Well that's sing so it'll look like there are seventy

1434
00:58:54,240 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 13: thousand convenience store robbers in the to do that or not.

1435
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 13: But you know, it's gonna be really it's gonna be

1436
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 13: really interesting. And and I heard Geno say today, you know,

1437
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 13: we're looking forward to this. We want to go into

1438
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 13: a place that's tough to play and uh and make

1439
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 13: it difficult on us because we need to do this

1440
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 13: to get better as an offense and I'm sure as

1441
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 13: an entire team. Myself, I'd rather go into a half empty,

1442
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 13: you know, Dome in Detroit and play a team that's

1443
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 13: like oh and thirteen, But that's not going to happen.

1444
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 3: He is the voice of the Seahawks. Steve Rabel Rapes.

1445
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the time. We appreciate it.

1446
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 13: Bring your math, Dave.

1447
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 3: Well, all right, tomorrow, let's learn more about the Lions

1448
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 3: with Danny Rogers.

1449
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 9: Next, this is the Huddle lot, brought to you by

1450
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 9: Hunt Services.

1451
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: Every Thursday from noon to two Seattle Sports.

1452
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 3: You are listening to the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus,

1453
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 3: and Stacy Ross. We go now across enemy lines for

1454
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 3: an opponent preview with Detroit Liones.

1455
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 4: Reporter Danny Rogers. Danny, how it going.

1456
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 15: It's going well, I'm ready to see these Seahawks for

1457
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 15: the third year in a row. Somehow.

1458
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird how that happens.

1459
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm becoming very familiar with Detroit.

1460
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 3: But as a byproduct of that, it's also been really

1461
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 3: cool to from AFAR be able to watch the development

1462
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: over the last three years and see how Dave Campbell

1463
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: and Holmes have been able to kind of build this thing.

1464
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 3: What's the environment like in Detroit right now? I have

1465
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 3: to imagine it is pure chaos and excitement.

1466
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 15: It's pure chaos with a dose of blue ski masks.

1467
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 15: I don't know if you saw day Gardner's out, I

1468
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 15: thought it was a joke when someone had told me

1469
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 15: Amazon had cooled out of the blue ski mask. Apparently

1470
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 15: that's real. CJ has made a call to all Detroit

1471
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 15: lines and to our ski masks on game day, and

1472
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 15: I have to check with our security still and see

1473
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 15: if I can add fuel to the fire, because I

1474
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 15: don't know if that's actually like a big issue for

1475
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 15: security in the stadium. So I'm checking on that before

1476
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 15: I ask the fuel to the fire. But that kind

1477
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 15: of just encompasses the mindset right now. This will probably it.

1478
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 15: I mean, it hurts me to like, I love the Seahawks,

1479
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 15: a great organization, big can of Pete Carroll. It hurts

1480
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 15: It hurts me a little bit now that Seahawks will

1481
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 15: probably walk into the most hostile environment at Ford Field

1482
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 15: this entire season because of the build up of hype.

1483
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 7: Right Yeah, I feel like our fans are going to

1484
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 7: be concerned for a minute, like what is going on here?

1485
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 8: But when you look at.

1486
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 7: These Detroit Lions, man, I see a shift in the culture.

1487
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 7: How fun and cool has it been to kind of

1488
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 7: see where the Lions are going when you look at

1489
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 7: where they've been.

1490
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, So honestly, I wasn't here when Chris Dan Campbell

1491
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 15: and Brad Holmes weren't here their first year was my

1492
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 15: first year, So really the culture has been the same

1493
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 15: the last three years. I can speak to that, I

1494
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 15: know for sure from people who have been around. They

1495
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 15: will tell you within the building, they'll tell you that

1496
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 15: there's been significant culture change. So what I'm used to

1497
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 15: is Dan Campbell coming into the studio every week doing

1498
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 15: our interview and you can never tell if they want

1499
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 15: or lost. He is so level headed. You know, he

1500
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 15: can amp these players up, but he's level headed for

1501
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 15: the most part. He's got these players to buy in.

1502
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 15: And finally in year three, I know it's not the

1503
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 15: longest time, but three years later, there is finally a

1504
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 15: Detroit Lions team where the talent finally matches what these

1505
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 15: coaches want to do out on the field, with versatility

1506
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 15: of players, with gritty players, the guys who are just

1507
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 15: pure football players. They finally have all of those pieces

1508
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 15: in the building. So it's been fun and it's been

1509
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 15: interesting watching them build that over the last three years.

1510
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 3: Danny, We're waiting to see the Seattle's offense take a

1511
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 3: step forward after a really really bad second half, and

1512
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 3: on paper in the off season, I was like, well,

1513
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 3: maybe Detroit gives them a chance, right, because these two

1514
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 3: teams were really similar in terms of the offense was

1515
01:02:59,400 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 3: a strength.

1516
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 4: The defense had some work to do.

1517
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Detroit twenty eighth in points allowed last year, thirty second

1518
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 3: in yards. However, you guys also won seven of your

1519
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 3: last nine, So was that really lopsided? Was their late

1520
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 3: season improvement? Tell us what kind of defense we should

1521
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 3: expect here?

1522
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 15: Yes, don't expect this with the staff that you read

1523
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 15: all from last season. Is not this Detroit Lions defense,

1524
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 15: just like you mentioned one, seven of the last nine

1525
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 15: that became this Detroit Lions defensive identity. But stats are

1526
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 15: skewed because of you know, it was treachers in the

1527
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 15: first staff and they will tell you that it wasn't good.

1528
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 15: So you're coming into a defense with a completely new secondary.

1529
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 15: I'll tell you that they got of editions of Camp Sutton,

1530
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 15: a Manuel Moseley. He may be making his return back

1531
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 15: to football after his ACL tair. You got CJ. Gardner,

1532
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 15: Johnson and Brian Branch the rookie out of Alabama. So

1533
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 15: there's a completely new secondary. However, up front, it's carryover

1534
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 15: from two years ago and Hutch drafted, so you've got

1535
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 15: some younger guys, but you have a really good mix

1536
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 15: of the Charles Harrises of the world, the John Kimminskis.

1537
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 15: They're playing really well up front. I'll tell you they

1538
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 15: only allowed two point six yards for Kerry against Casey

1539
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 15: last week. So this is not the same defense with

1540
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 15: those stats that you just read off worse twenty eighth

1541
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 15: worse in the league. This is a new defense. And

1542
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 15: they played physical and they play very violent, and those

1543
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 15: are the words that defensive coordinator Aaron Gludd loves to use.

1544
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 7: Danny's been really great to see Jared Goffman. He's back

1545
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 7: to the Pro Bowl since twenty eighteen. Last year was

1546
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 7: only sacked twenty three times. I know the way we

1547
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 7: see Jared goff we see him as a guy that's

1548
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 7: capable of running an office and getting a team to

1549
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 7: the playoffs. How was he received by his teammates? And

1550
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 7: I would assume that he's earned the respect of that organization.

1551
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 7: The fans love him, the coaches love him. Who is

1552
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 7: Jared goff to the Detroit Lions.

1553
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 15: So it's always been interesting. I mean it it was

1554
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 15: an odd situation. You know, you trade quarterbacks. Matthew Stafford

1555
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 15: goes to La wins the Super Bowl and then it

1556
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,919
Speaker 15: just it made it seem like Detroit got the short

1557
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 15: end of a stick, But they didn't. When Jared Goff

1558
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 15: came into this building, the players didn't forget that he

1559
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 15: had played in a Super Bowl game. Like the players

1560
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:23,919
Speaker 15: don't forget that. They don't care what the trades are.

1561
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 15: They don't they don't care what the outside noise and

1562
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 15: with the outside media rights. They're like, this dude just

1563
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 15: played in a Super Bowl and now she's going to

1564
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 15: come play here in Detroit and try to grow this offense.

1565
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 15: Like hell yeah. So that's been the mindset over the

1566
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 15: last three years. Jared I spoke with Josh Reynolds, our

1567
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 15: wide receiver a couple of days ago. Those two, Reynolds

1568
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 15: and Golf have played Seattle every year of their careers.

1569
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 15: Golf has played them eight years in a row. Reynolds

1570
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 15: just played them seven, so they're very similiar with the

1571
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 15: Seahawks team. And Reynolds was just talking about how Golf

1572
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 15: looked so comfortable and how he's able to shrink a

1573
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 15: lot of the mistakes that he used to make and

1574
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 15: he was making them when he was leading a team

1575
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 15: to the Super Bowl. Those are just the staffs and

1576
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 15: the facts of it. This team loves Terreed Goff. He

1577
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 15: commands the room. They know how legitimate he is and

1578
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 15: how much credibility he's built up in this league. And

1579
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 15: it has been so stink and fun to watch the

1580
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 15: offense grow with him because the staff Ben Johnson knew

1581
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 15: what Golf was capable of. It's just maybe the pieces

1582
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 15: weren't all there to start to start his tenure in Detroit.

1583
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 15: Now they're all there and you are seeing You're seeing

1584
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 15: the best of Jared Goff, and he'll tell you that too.

1585
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 3: We know Aman Ross Saint Brown is a hell of

1586
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 3: a weapon. But I want to talk about the run

1587
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 3: game because Gimps was kind of a controversial pick. I

1588
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: mean not in a bad way, but in a way

1589
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 3: where people are always, unfortunately sometimes surprised to see, you know,

1590
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 3: running back selected earlier high unless her name is Jon

1591
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 3: Robinson or safe Won Barkley. So tell us a bit

1592
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 3: about the rookie and a bit about Detroit's run game,

1593
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 3: because it's something we have our eye on with Seattle.

1594
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 4: Defensively, Yeah, I.

1595
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 15: Don't know why the Gibbs pick shocks so many people.

1596
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 15: Brad Holmes's GM. He was within the scouting department in

1597
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 15: LA when they drafted Todd Gurley. You know, I don't

1598
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 15: know why everyone was okay, right, Yeah, it's and the

1599
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 15: reason that that Jamier Gibbs is going to do so

1600
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 15: well in the league. And first off against Casey, he

1601
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,959
Speaker 15: didn't get his many touches as the fans.

1602
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 13: Would have liked.

1603
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 15: I think that was the biggest controversy after the game,

1604
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 15: was you need to get this rookie more touches because

1605
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 15: when he touches the ball, he makes several defenders every

1606
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 15: time miss. Just the way he's able to cut while

1607
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 15: he rushes and he does the spin move, he makes

1608
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 15: guy miss. So I will say, we just heard Ben

1609
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 15: Johnson talk. He was really happy that everything they knew

1610
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 15: about Jamior Gibbs, how versatile he was, how well he

1611
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 15: does in the past game translated to the NFL, and

1612
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 15: he did it at a very high level. So right

1613
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 15: now he's a part of the one two punch with

1614
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 15: David Montgomery. Montgomery coming to Detroit this past off season

1615
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 15: from Chicago, so running back Detroit is very familiar with,

1616
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 15: and so the entire running back room has been redone

1617
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 15: and it wasn't bad last year. You had Jamal Williams

1618
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 15: score seventeen touchdowns, but Detroit felt that they need to

1619
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 15: elevate and that's who they brought in, so Jaw. They

1620
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 15: call him Jaw Gibbs. You're going to see more touches

1621
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 15: from him coming up this week, but you're also going

1622
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 15: to see David Montgomery. David Montgomery impressed me the most.

1623
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 15: He was very consistent. Every time he got the ball,

1624
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 15: he made a play, didn't make very many mistakes. So yeah,

1625
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 15: it is. I don't know how teams are gonna be

1626
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 15: able to anticipate it. They haven't seen this running back

1627
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 15: to you, o Jess yet and they have not unleashed

1628
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 15: the full Demire gives to the world. So it's going

1629
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 15: to be interesting to see what he does against the

1630
01:08:58,680 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 15: Seattle team.

1631
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 7: Lots of weapons over there in Detroit, Danny, what does

1632
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 7: that do for expectations? You know, going into last year,

1633
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 7: Detroit was kind of a team that snuck up on

1634
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 7: some people. I'm here in Seattle, we kind of had

1635
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 7: the same scenario. So what is the team talking about

1636
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 7: is when the division get into the playoffs, the super Bowl,

1637
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:16,440
Speaker 7: we'll survive.

1638
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 15: Over there, win a division I just it's just don't

1639
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 15: works in the Lion's favor. The NFC North is pretty

1640
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 15: dang open this season. You're used to talking about the

1641
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 15: Packers winning it. Vikings did well last year, but it's

1642
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 15: it's pretty wide open when you look at it. So

1643
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 15: that is one hundred percent of goal. And the guys

1644
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:42,480
Speaker 15: will not They won't shut away from from admitting that expectations.

1645
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 15: If you ask any fan walking on the street, but

1646
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 15: it looks like you super Bowl. It's just Dan Campbell

1647
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,919
Speaker 15: and Jets so much into this, this culture in Detroit

1648
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 15: and into this team, into these fans. I don't think

1649
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 15: if they don't win a Super Bowl, the fans won't

1650
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,600
Speaker 15: be happy because that is that's literally the expectations. And

1651
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 15: they don't care about any players missing from Casey. Look,

1652
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 15: you go with who you got with who's available. Detroit

1653
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 15: had more players available and they got to win. So

1654
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 15: it's the blue kool aid has been drunk. Everybody's drunk

1655
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 15: off the blue kool Aid. Expectations are extremely high and

1656
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 15: they should be. They really should be. Year two in

1657
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,600
Speaker 15: this offensive system that was really explosive last year, one

1658
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 15: of the top ones in the league. And we'll see

1659
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 15: if they can carry over to this year.

1660
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 3: She is Lions reporter Danny Rodgers. Danny, we are looking

1661
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 3: forward to this one. A little bit nervous about this one,

1662
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 3: but always fun to watch these two teams, and we

1663
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 3: appreciate you taking the time.

1664

1677

Speaker 4: Uh, well, We're good.

1678
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 3: We've been kind of trying to dissect a week one,

1679
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 3: none of us we're really expecting as we head into

1680
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 3: a really tough Week two. What do you really really

1681
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 3: hope to see from this team in week two other

1682
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 3: than a win?

1683
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean you can point to a lot of

1684
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 16: things that went wrong last week, but just I point

1685
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 16: a third down defense because that covers a lot of things.

1686
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 18: I mean, you need more pass rush to go out

1687
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 18: the field. You need the coverage to be better.

1688
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 16: So just all the different things that went into them

1689
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 16: not being able to get off the field on third down.

1690
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 18: If you can clean that up.

1691
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 16: You don't need to be perfect, but just get those

1692
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 16: numbers down a little bit, get off the field.

1693
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 18: I think that'll help.

1694
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 7: Does this version of Jared Goff scare you more? Does

1695
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 7: the version of twenty eighteen Pro Bowl Jared Goff scare

1696
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 7: you more?

1697
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 16: I think he's better now than he's ever been, right,

1698
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 16: I mean it's the lack of mistakes.

1699
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 18: I go back to the.

1700
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 16: You know, early in his career, even when he would

1701
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 16: have some good games, he'd make up player two where

1702
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 16: it's like what is he doing and throw it right

1703
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 16: to a defensive player or whatever.

1704
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 18: And you can't count on any mistakes out of him

1705
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 18: right now.

1706
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 16: And he's got what the third longest all time streak

1707
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 16: without it passes with that interception. So yeah, I mean,

1708
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 16: the combination of the talent around him and the scheme

1709
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 16: and just the way he's playing, it's it's going really

1710
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 16: well for him.

1711
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 5: Did you get a sense that like they were surprised

1712
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 5: by that by their performance?

1713
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just so I did.

1714
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I just think they felt like that's such a

1715
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 16: good camp, and they really.

1716
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 18: Still do like a lot about this team.

1717
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 16: It just fell flat for whatever reason, guys didn't play

1718
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 16: as well as they thought they would.

1719
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 18: I mean we've heard some guys say that maybe they

1720
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 18: were just.

1721
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 16: I don't know whether it's over confident or overlooking him

1722
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 16: or whatever it is. They just didn't feel like they

1723
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 16: went out and played their best. So a lot can

1724
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 16: go into that, and I think you know, we've heard

1725
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 16: the term wake up call thrown around a few times

1726
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 16: this week. They need it to be because they got

1727
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 16: a tough one coming up.

1728
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:53,720
Speaker 4: It sounds like in this one we are going to

1729
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 4: see a new face finally, Devin Witherspoon.

1730
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 18: That sounds like it.

1731
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean Pete Carroll said, obviously he needs to

1732
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 16: get through the week five, but you know he's out

1733
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 16: there practicing fully and that that is fully the intent.

1734
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,160
Speaker 18: Now question is where they play him.

1735
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 16: I mean, Pete's mentioned him being an option in that

1736
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 16: left cornerback competition, but he's he ready to be in

1737
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 16: there right away.

1738
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1739
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 16: Is he a nickel guy, which is what we're seeing

1740
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 16: a lot of in camp before the injury. I'm not sure,

1741
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 16: but I think in some way or another, even if

1742
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 16: it's not in every down role, we're gonna see him

1743
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 16: out there.

1744
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 8: So Devin with a spoon. Again, I've said this plenty

1745
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 8: of times.

1746
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 7: He's not gonna save the day, right, So if you're gonna,

1747
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 7: if you're gonna insert him, who do you think gets

1748
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 7: less time?

1749
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 18: I mean, that's a again depends on the role.

1750
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 16: If they think he's the left cornerback, then it's coming

1751
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 16: at the expense of Trade Brown and Mike Jackson. If

1752
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,560
Speaker 16: they think he's a nickel, then probably the expense of

1753
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 16: Kobe and or already Burns.

1754
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 18: We saw him there for some of the dime stuff.

1755
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 16: They did play a lot of dimes, So I mean,

1756
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 16: depending on what the lines throw at them, you could

1757
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 16: see a lot of six defensive backs anyway. But again,

1758
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 16: I just you know, until we see them go out

1759
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 16: there for warmups on Sunday and see what they're doing

1760
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 16: with him, it's hard to say who those STAPs come

1761
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 16: at the expense of it. You know, maybe they he's

1762
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 16: him back in and he gets a few series.

1763
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 18: I just I don't know.

1764
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 6: It's interesting.

1765
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 5: Clint Hurt was up in the booth during the preseason,

1766
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,679
Speaker 5: and then he was up there for Game one.

1767
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 6: I wonder if.

1768
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 16: He'll last up there, because you think it's gonna drive

1769
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 16: nuts be in that detached from it.

1770
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 5: I wonder, you know, I mean, I think you can

1771
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:16,880
Speaker 5: see the field a lot better.

1772
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 18: Yeah, for sure.

1773
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 5: It's yeah, everything's kind of confusing down on the field,

1774
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 5: But yeah, there was a There was a couple of

1775
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 5: times I thought maybe he'd like to be down there

1776
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 5: talking to his guys.

1777
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 6: But is it the plan?

1778
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 18: It sounds like it.

1779
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, there is some give and take because

1780
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 16: there isn't advantage to be able to get a feel

1781
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 16: for your players and communicate face to face with them.

1782
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 16: But overall, if you're the guy making those calls, you

1783
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:38,680
Speaker 16: need to be able to see it, and you can

1784
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 16: see so much better up there. I do think I

1785
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 16: haven't gotten the specifics on this, but I do wonder

1786
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 16: how much having Sean to say here last year was

1787
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 16: a factor of you had you know, two, he wasn't

1788
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 16: a co coordinator, but in a pretty elevated role where

1789
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 16: maybe he was the eyes up above and hurts the

1790
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 16: guy down below. I'm again I'm speculating, I know for sure,

1791
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 16: but the fact that he's gone, I'm guessing play the

1792
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 16: factor and they want Hurt up there.

1793
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and real quick, who is his sort of counterpart,

1794
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 5: who's his guy down on the field.

1795
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 16: I mean, he's kind of he was asked that and

1796
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 16: he kind of deflected and just said he trusts a

1797
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 16: lot of the guys down there. And I don't know

1798
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 16: if he just didn't want to single anybody out or

1799
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 16: didn't want to give it away, but I do think,

1800
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 16: you know, he feels good about the communication with a

1801
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 16: lot of those guys down there.

1802
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 3: I wanted to have some kind of silver lining as

1803
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 3: we like start to wrap up the huddle in the

1804
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 3: next like you know, minute and a half here, I

1805
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 3: feel like we're talking about the Detroit Lions, like they're

1806
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 3: this unstoppable for us. We're Seattle not playing Detroit. I'd

1807
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 3: be rooting for them ten out of ten times this week.

1808
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 3: It's such a fun story.

1809
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 4: They haven't won that division in thirty years, which he's

1810
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:32,679
Speaker 4: absolutely insane.

1811
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 3: And I think that they are a team that's Dan

1812
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 3: Campbell's really likable, their GM, you know, Holmes is really likable.

1813
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 3: But I also don't think that they are you know,

1814
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl lesque unbeatable Kansas City team. So when

1815
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 3: you look at Seattle, where's an opportunity that you see

1816
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 3: for the Seahawks where you think this guy might have

1817
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 3: a good day or here's something they can improve on.

1818
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 11: You know it.

1819
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 16: Obviously we saw last year they stuggled defensively and they

1820
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 16: made a lot of changes. They got better in their

1821
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 16: secondary So I do think they're better defensively. But you know,

1822
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 16: I think if you look at where based off the

1823
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 16: past two games for the Seahawks have really had a

1824
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 16: lot of success offensively, you would hope, you know, if

1825
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 16: the tackles can hold up. It sounds like we're probably

1826
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 16: gonna have neither starting tackle going for the Seahawks, and

1827
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 16: that's a big factor.

1828
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 18: But had good things John, let me finish Stacy.

1829
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 16: If they can hold up, and you know the stacks

1830
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 16: are confident they can, then I do think there'll be

1831
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 16: opportunities to make some plays in the passing game.

1832
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 5: Oh my god, the last time I can't good Lord,

1833
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 5: I was playing thirty ridiculous.

1834
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm saying, yeah, so this.

1835
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 4: Is what it so they are.

1836
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 3: It would be their first division title in thirty years,

1837
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 3: and they also have not won a playoff game since

1838
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,160
