Speaker 1: he's got it.

Speaker 2: Touchdown, say Hawks, getting you ready for Seahawks football every Sunday.

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: Hurts drops back, hastime, loads up, throws aj Brown the

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: defense does he keep it?

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Speed him? He does? Stay off ball presented by Delta,

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,600

Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Jen Mueller.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: After what feels like an extended break, I guess you

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 3: would really call it a mini buy, the Seahawks are

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: back on the road. They are back to work. They

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 3: are ready to turn things around. John Boyle, do you

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 3: feel rested? Do you feel like recuperated after that long

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: weekends with three children?

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I was as rested as one can who was with

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: three kids all weekend? Sure? Okay, but it was nice.

18

Speaker 3: fun family event.

23
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: That's awesome. I sat and looked the water.

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: I was sofully just watching the waves roll in roll out.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: There was some wine, there was some coffee, There was

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: a deep dive on jellyfish after watching one get washed

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: up on the beach. I can tell you all sorts

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: of things, which then led me on a deep dive

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: of SpongeBob SquarePants.

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: And it was.

31
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: With something on a Saturday.

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: Man.

33
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't have any football to dive into. I

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 4: mean I could have.

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: I did watch some college football, but I wasn't like

36
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: preparing for a Sunday game, so I had a lot

37
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: of time to learn about a lot of things.

38
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: That were not football related.

39
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, that's fun.

40
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: Jellyfish actually can't swim very far, job.

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: Float around, and they can stay on the beach for

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: apparently a long time based on.

43
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: What I served before they get back in the water. Okay, look,

44
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: here's the thing.

45
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: We had a chance to recuperate and maybe rest up

46
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: a little bit.

47
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: So did the team.

48
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: And I can tell after being around these guys for

49
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: even just a day or two, it did.

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: A lot of good.

51
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, just physically.

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: Sure, I think mentally it was just as important.

53
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, talking to guys Monday and then especially yesterday and

54
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 5: kind of full locker room, just you could tell guys,

55
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 5: just even though I mean, obviously the team's lost three

56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: in a row, and that's not great, but you could

57
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 5: tell the mood with such like guys were refreshed, as

58
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 5: you said, getting no chance to get away from it.

59
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 5: You know, we heard a couple of players talk about

60
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 5: that a really good meeting on Monday to kind of

61
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 5: get to the truth of what's been going on and

62
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 5: how they're going to fix it. So I feel like

63
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: despite the recent losses, the team's in a really good

64
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 5: headspace right now.

65
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I.

66
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: Do think that those losses in that three and three

67
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: record would feel different if you hadn't lost three in

68
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: a row, Oh for sure. Right, that makes a big

69
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: difference too. I am glad that you mentioned that team

70
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: meeting on Monday. It was big for a couple of reasons.

71
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: Number one, you did need to reset. Number two, it

72
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: was a chance for Mike McDonald to show how he

73
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: was going to respond after this. And number three, according

74
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,559
Speaker 3: to DK Metcalf, what got said really needed.

75
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 6: To be said Monday was a very much needed team

76
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 6: meeting to where you know, Mike just told us the

77
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 6: truth of you know, it's not anything the other teams

78
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 6: are doing. We're just hurting our sales penalties, you know,

79
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 6: giving the ball away not getting the ball on a defense.

80
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 6: So he just basically told us the truth, you know,

81
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 6: of what we need to clean up, you know, moving forward,

82
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 6: and you know we all took it, you know, the

83
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 6: right way, and we're ready to finish the season.

84
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: And we heard similar a few of us talk to

85
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 5: Julian Love after and he said that the phrase he

86
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 5: used was it's us against us right now. It's not,

87
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: you know, he said if we were seeing on film

88
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 5: that like, oh, this guy, I think the example, he's like,

89
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 5: this guy can't cover in man coverage, Like that's the

90
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 5: personnel problem.

91
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: You're in trouble. That's not what they're seeing.

92
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: They're seeing, you know, a lot of self inflicted stuff

93
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 5: they're you know, they're learning new scheme and mistakes are

94
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: getting made that they feel like they can fix.

95
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: I was talking to a few of the offensive players

96
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: on Wednesday about some of those penalties and procedure because

97
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: one of the things Mike McDonald had said last week

98
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: when we talked to him following the forty nine ers

99
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: last was just the that they take the line of scrimmage,

100
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: which I generally don't think about that as a thing.

101
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: We did hear about that in the preseason. But in

102
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: talking to guys like Noah and Charles Cross, they said, look,

103
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: if we are more intentional and if you take that

104
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage with just a little bit more command,

105
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: now you position yourself so that you were not making

106
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: those mental mistakes or not lacking that attention to detail

107
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: which has caused way too many penalties and called back

108
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: way too many big plays.

109
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: A few in your touchdown last week, Yeah, Kenneth Walker's

110
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: feet weren't quite set right.

111
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: And you know, the other thing that they also mentioned was, look,

112
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: it's not an excuse. It is hard to be mentally

113
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 3: on for three games in eleven days.

114
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: Like, it's just hard to do that.

115
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: So by function of having a couple extra days, I

116
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: do think some of that gets cleaned up.

117
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and just having a normal week of practice. You know,

118
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: it's a couple guys point like they haven't had a

119
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: full pad of practice since before the Lions game because

120
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: you're short week coming off that game, short week for

121
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: Thursday night, so that you know, eyes and needed a

122
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 5: chance to just sort of get back into a normal routine.

123
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: And they'll have that this week.

124
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: Yeah. In fact, I have not been able to figure

125
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: out what day is all week because it's a normal

126
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: week and we haven't had one of those in a while.

127
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, Jen, There we solved your problem.

128
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: Thanks. Hey, you know what, everything I have a question, everything.

129
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I have a quess.

130
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: That does not mean that they have not had their

131
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: challenges and challenges that need to be fixed. Look, once again,

132
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: they need to run the ball more on offense, they

133
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: need to stop the run on defense, and you'd like

134
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: for it to be an easy fix.

135
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: I don't know that that is what Mike McDonald has seen.

136
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 7: The good news is is there's a lot of good stuff.

137
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 7: The bad news is is there's a chunk of plays

138
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 7: that are really bad and the ball is getting out

139
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 7: and there's just way too many explosives. You can't play though.

140
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 7: If you take those plays out games, it's just not

141
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 7: that's not reality.

142
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: But it does.

143
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 7: It does kind of sober you up because it is less.

144
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 7: It's not every play, So it's hey, this is what's

145
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 7: happening on these selects group of plays, and let's go

146
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 7: to work at it. You know, let's get it, let's

147
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 7: let's make it right.

148
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, as Mike said, you can't just throw those out

149
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 5: because I mean, when you look across the league at

150
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 5: anyone's running numbers like those are partly the result of

151
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: big plays factory in the average. But to his point, like,

152
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: if you see twenty good run plays a game and

153
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: five bad ones, those five bad ones really hurt you.

154
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: But it's a little easier to address the problem versus like, hey,

155
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: we're just getting gashed every play.

156
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 4: How much do.

157
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: You think it is just time on task with these

158
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: guys together.

159
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I think that's.

160
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: Got to be a big part of it for two reasons. One,

161
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: and we talked about this a little earlier. But it's like,

162
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 5: this is all new, and as much as we would

163
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 5: have loved for the team to hit the ground running,

164
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: start three and zero and just play clean all year,

165
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 5: that's probably not realistic when you have a new scheme,

166
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: a new coaching staff, and a lot of new personnel,

167
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: and then add to that how banged up they've been

168
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 5: on defense. You haven't had the same group of guys

169
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 5: together for pretty much the whole first half of the

170
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 5: season now, so it's you know, it's a little tougher

171
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: to everybody be on the same page. You know a

172
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: phrase make McDonald loves uses it. It takes all eleven guys

173
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 5: to play good run defense, and you haven't had the

174
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 5: same eleven guys.

175
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and while there is depth, and that is what

176
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: we talk about every year in training camp, right, you

177
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 3: can't have too many of those guys across the front,

178
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: can't have too many of those guys in the secondary

179
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: because what you thought was just a what plethora of riches?

180
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: Is that the phrase I'm looking for sure?

181
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: That works? Okay? I like plethora?

182
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: Okay, we're going with that.

183
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: You are now dealing with injuries at safety and corner.

184
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so.

185
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: You've got to have somebody step up.

186
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: But to your point, right, like you are where you

187
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: are on the depth chart for a reason. It does

188
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: not mean that you cannot step up and level up

189
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: your game. But it's hard if you're not playing with

190
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: your group of people, and if you're asking somebody who's

191
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: further down on the depth chart to step into a

192
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: larger role.

193
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

194
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: I mean, look, you want everybody to be ready to go,

195
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: and you have fifty three guys that seem that you

196
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: hope are ready to help you. But and even if

197
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: they are, even if that guy is gonna come out

198
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: and be great, at some point, there's gonna be the

199
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: adjustment of not just him getting used to being out

200
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 5: there with those stars reps, but the guys around him

201
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 5: getting used to that play or so well.

202
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: And so much of it is communication in his defense, right,

203
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: And it's not always the verbal communication.

204
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: It's understanding what this.

205
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: Look means, right, or when I give you kind of

206
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: this little nuts or not like that year that we're.

207
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: Doing all the timing back when you know, if it

208
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 5: was camin Earl or kJ and Bobby, you hear that

209
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: if a guy goes down, like I played with this

210
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: guy so long, I'm used to like, if we see

211
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 5: this look, I know what he's doing. He knows what

212
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: I'm doing, And there's no you don't even need to

213
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: communicate it, whereas if a new guy's out there, you

214
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 5: need to make sure, like, hey, this is what we're

215
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: doing because of this look.

216
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And this week they really have to have that

217
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: short up because Atlanta's run game got going last week

218
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: granted against the Carolina Panthers, but they're two running backs

219
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: rush for two hundred yards, and they've got the advantage

220
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: of familiarity with their scheme.

221
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 7: Well, they're two really good backs. Both have been running

222
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 7: this scheme for multiple years, going back to when uh,

223
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 7: you know, when they're running a similar scheme their last year,

224
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 7: the same all line coach. Both see it really well.

225
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 7: Both run it a little bit differently, one little bit

226
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 7: more power, you know. I think I think Robinson is

227
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 7: more and more of a one cut guy. But both

228
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 7: both both like the compliment and the scheme go well

229
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 7: hand in hand, and it's it's a tough play to

230
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 7: stop so and it's not one of those things where

231
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 7: it's just one guy. It's all eleven guys on it.

232
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 7: We always say in the run defense, but all eleven

233
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 7: guys in order to uh, to stop wide zone.

234
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: I sat him up for that, I said, Mike McDonald

235
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: loves to say it's all eleven guys.

236
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 4: And then he just said, and then he backs you up.

237
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 4: You were lying.

238
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 5: I didn't just make that up. Some of what I

239
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 5: say on here, if you fact check, could be made up. No,

240
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: I mean, look to your point earlier. Like Carolina has

241
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: obviously had their struggles, you're also playing for Head a

242
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 5: lot of that game, so those run numbers.

243
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Might be a little skewed.

244
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: But Elana is also going to look at you know,

245
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: the Seahawks have struggled to stop their run.

246
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: They you know, they've give up what is it, one.

247
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 5: Hundred and seventy five or more yards hitting three games

248
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 5: this year, including two hundred and twenty eight last week.

249
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 5: So even though Atlanta feels like they have the firepower

250
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 5: to throw the ball if they need to, they threw

251
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: for over five hundred yards a couple of weeks ago

252
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 5: in that win over Tampa Bay. I'm sure we're going

253
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 5: to see them come test the Seahawks run defense and

254
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 5: see if I can hold up.

255
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, they will again.

256
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: I do think that last week's numbers skewed what we're

257
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: looking at in the run game, and give Seattle a

258
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: few extra days and sometime to fix communication.

259
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: I think that looks better.

260
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: And I think on the other side of it is

261
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: being able to get the run game going, because when

262
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: you look at the comparisons between these teams, Atlanta's given

263
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: up almost as many yards per game on the ground

264
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: as Seattle Lists. So there's a chance to get that going,

265
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: which John would help because in the last three games,

266
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: Seattle Lists played from behind in all but two quarters.

267
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, they that's it.

268
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, they tried, you know, obviously they barely ran the

269
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 5: ball the previous game, but they tried to run it

270
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: last week and they did. I think it was the

271
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 5: first three or four possessions were run, run, pass, run,

272
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: run pass. But eventually you get that far behind and

273
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: kind of the script goes out the window. So I

274
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 5: do think we'll see them try to get back to

275
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: getting ken Walker involve, getting the run game involved for sure.

276
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: And when you have to pass, you are not facing

277
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: the same type of line that you have faced the

278
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: last three weeks. There have been some elite pass rushers

279
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: and disruptors. And I know that they traded for Matthew

280
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: Judon in August and he has not been that spark

281
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: that they were hoping for in Atlanta.

282
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: In fact, I was trying to copy down some numbers.

283
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, his numbers look really good, and

284
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 3: then I realized what I was looking at was his

285
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: teammate right below him on the stat sheet. Because he's

286
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: not really flashed much at all.

287
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 5: I hope he doesn't now, because we're going to blame

288
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: you for Jen If this is his breakout game with

289
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: the Falcons, it's not going to be.

290
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: His breakout game. I think they're frustrated.

291
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: Look, here is the thing with the Falcons though they

292
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: have a true bend but don't break defense. And this

293
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 3: is a Raheem Morris coach team, right, and this is

294
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: part of what he is known for.

295
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 8: Right.

296
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: We've seen many people.

297
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: Come out of this tree and have this philosophy. They

298
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: give you yards, it's just a matter of what you

299
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: do with them.

300
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 5: And they're good on the back end, so they're not

301
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 5: gonna be easy to throw against. Even though the pass

302
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 5: rush has not been there five sacks least in the league,

303
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: but that doesn't you look at that, and you look

304
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 5: at the run numbers, you might think there's a terrible defense,

305
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 5: but like points and total yards, they're not. They're kind

306
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 5: of middle of the pack because they're doing some things well.

307
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 3: That's right, But they do have a couple of injuries

308
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: that they're dealing with on the back end.

309
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: Both of their safeties are heard.

310
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: Justin Simmons has a hamstring Micah Abernathy has a knee injury.

311
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: So I'm not really sure where they're what they're looking

312
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 3: at for Sunday, but you know, they've got some injuries there.

313
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: You mentioned pass rush isn't there. You know what it's

314
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: going to be challenging for Seattle to dial up it's

315
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: pass rush this week because we flip this around just

316
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: a little bit. You know, Kirk Cousins, we talk about

317
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: the reinvent that's happening in Minnesota. How about Kirk Cousins

318
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: in some ways reinventing himself with Atlanta and what he's

319
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: been able to do well.

320
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 7: They do a great job of staying on schedule. There's

321
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 7: not many third downs in the breakdown. I think, you know,

322
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 7: there's their averaging. It feels like six or seven third

323
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 7: downs a game. So you need to win first down.

324
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 7: And it's not like they're just running every first down

325
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 7: as runs actions. They got a good tempo package. They

326
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 7: do a great job, so you got to be able

327
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 7: to knock out the runs they're presenting you on early

328
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 7: downs and then forcing them into passing situations. And again

329
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 7: we said, hey, the passing stats on offense is complimentary

330
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 7: how we're playing on defense. It's the same way. If

331
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 7: if we can get off to a fast start and

332
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 7: take the lead, you know, and if you have the

333
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 7: lead in the second half, then you know they're forcing

334
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 7: into passing situations as well. So it's kind of a

335
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 7: team approach.

336
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 5: I also like it it just seems like it's been

337
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: he's really been embraced there, and he's embraced the whole

338
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 5: city and the team like it's it's kind of an

339
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: interesting fit. You bring this guy in late in his

340
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 5: career free agency, but you know it's early still, but

341
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: seems to be going well as he gets healthy. He's

342
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 5: coming off that Achilles injury. But yeah, I mean there's

343
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: a lot to like about his game and about again

344
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: going back to their own game, they've they've got the

345
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 5: ability to be pretty balanced and attack you different ways.

346
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald mentioned the third downs. In fact, sixty four

347
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: third downs for Atlanta this year that is tied with

348
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: the sixth fewest. Now you can look at that one

349
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: of two ways. You can say, well, you know, they're

350
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: not staying on the field very much. You know, like

351
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: there's a whole bunch of things. They're one of the

352
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: best offensive teams in terms of total yards, so they

353
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: are getting those yards, as Michael Thumb said without even

354
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: getting to third down on that one. Yeah, so I

355
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: think that that certainly plays a factor.

356
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, this offense will test you for sure.

357
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: And that offensive line that's been pretty good because Kirk

358
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: Cousins has only been sacked ten times this season. That's

359
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 3: among the league lowest, and he's still converting or completing

360
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: excuse me, sixty six percent of his passes. So yeah,

361
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: kind of funny. He was a little bit vilified I

362
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: think in Minneso. Now he's a hero.

363
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 5: And you've see swagsurfing out there. He's what swagsurfing?

364
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: What is that?

365
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: I'm not going to try to describe it, but it's

366
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: a little It's an Atlanta thing, some dancing after the

367
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 5: game that they do. Oh, it's not just in a

368
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: lant thing. It's an old song help me out NASA

369
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 5: early two thousands, mid two thousands.

370
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say mid to late two thousands, okay,

371
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: blu Wayne. Oh yeah, the fans do it after the game.

372
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, apparently I need to study up on this

373
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: because now I feel like I am far too old

374
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: or not hip, or I don't know what's happening right here.

375
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: I'd like to change the subjects. Can I please change

376
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: the subject? Can I please bring in our fantasy insider

377
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,440

Speaker 8: The exciting game between the Lions and the Vikings. Sam

Speaker 8: Darnold is a good streamer from Minnesota. Should be good

395

403
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Scott. I think that was a

404
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: nice little break in the action.

405
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: Sure, how it's a nice break.

406
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: I don't like to look at the schedule and make predictions,

407
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: but given how things are playing out in the NFL,

408
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: now that we are more than a quarter over the

409
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: way through the season, do you consider this week's game

410
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: a must win?

411
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: I hate doing the must win thing because then.

412
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 5: It's like and I love putting you on the spot

413
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 5: for that, because look, they're all important.

414
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: It's cloch to say. But like, if if the Shares

415
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: do go.

416
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: To Atlanta and lose and you say it's a must win,

417
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 5: are we giving up on the season after seven games? Like, no,

418
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: they're gonna be three and four if that happens. Obviously

419
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 5: you don't want to happen. But yeah, the schedule gets tough.

420
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: Buffalo is good. Rams are always a headache for I mean,

421
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 5: there's a lot of tough games in there, but trying

422
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: to look ahead at the NFL and predict things. I mean,

423
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 5: teams change, injuries happen. I think you just got to

424
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 5: go out and get ready for this one. But to

425
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 5: call it must win, I think you put yourself in

426
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 5: a bad situation if things don't go well of like,

427
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: oh no, we lost the must win game, season's over.

428
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I would say I totally agree with that, because, right,

429
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: you don't just decide that you're not playing the rest

430
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: of the games and go home. Losing four in a

431
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: row again feels different. For sure, that becomes difficult. I

432
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: do think it is a critical juncture, and maybe more

433
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: than wins and losses, because if you take this down

434
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 3: to the basics and you go back to something that

435
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: you said before, this is a new system, they are

436
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: all learning, right, this is still part of an install.

437
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: As long as you show progress and feel confident moving forward.

438
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: I think that there's ways to get wins in the game,

439
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: regardless of what the final score is. But I do

440
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: think you need to start seeing some of those steps

441
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 3: and seeing a turnaround from what we've seen the last

442
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: three game.

443
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 5: Oh for sure, Yeah, I mean you need to see

444
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: the progress in the run defense especially, you need to

445
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 5: see the offense stop turning the ball over. It's the

446
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: actually negative six in the turnover differential. Now that's not

447
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 5: how you win games. So there are things that, for sure,

448
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: I mean, win or lose, you want to see improvement in.

449
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 5: Those are two areas that are big.

450
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: We did not even mention the fact that, yeah, it's

451
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: going to be tough to get the ball out, that

452
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: was one of those points of emphasis. But yeah, tough

453
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 3: to get the ball out given how they're playing them offense. Yeah,

454
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: maybe that will factor into the two things that you

455
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: need to tell me related to a Seahawks win. I'm

456

00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: giving me this look like I didn't need it.

472
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, give me all the time to refine my thoughts.

473
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate.

474
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: Fine, refine your thoughts.

475
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, offensively, just get out of your own way.

476
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: I think this offense can be really good if I'm

477
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: going to say, don't turn the ball over, and you know,

478
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: let's minimize, if not get rid of the procedure penalties,

479
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 5: like you're going to have an occasional hold. If you

480
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: get beat, you're gonna you know, penalties happen. But stop

481
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: with the false starts, the illegal motion, the pre snap stuff. Defensively,

482
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 5: I want to seem to be really good on first

483
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 5: and second down.

484
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: We talked about the Falcons don't have a lot of

485
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: third downs.

486
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: We've also talked about the lack of takeaways, and two

487
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 5: ways to change both those things. Be good first and

488
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 5: second down, whether it's run or pass it, and put

489
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 5: them in the those third and medium, third and longs

490
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 5: where you can dial up the pass rush, you can

491
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 5: get some blitzes going, you can do some more exotic

492
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 5: things to a just help your defense off the field,

493
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 5: but be create some of those opportunities for turnovers, because

494
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 5: it's a lot harder to turn the ball over if

495
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 5: you're not affecting the quarterback exactly.

496
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, just minimize penalties altogether. Yes, we've

497
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: seen a lot of the procedure ones, but they are

498
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: among the most penalized teams in the league. You cannot

499
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: do that on the road, so I would piggyback on

500
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 3: that one. I would also say I want to see

501
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: two scores in the first half, and if I'm being

502
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: real greedy, I want to see two scores in the

503
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: first quarter because playing from ahead, especially when you have

504
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: more than a one score lead, that changes things a lot.

505
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: Because it's way too easy to say I want Ken

506
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: Walker to rush for one hundred yards. Yeah, I'd like to,

507
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: but you're gonna have to play with a lead in

508
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: order to do that. So getting points on your first

509
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: two drives I think will be critically important this week.

510
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: And I want to see somebody step up on defense

511
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 3: and have the game that we know they can have

512
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: Hm just hasn't been highlighted on film yet. And maybe

513
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: that's whoever's filling in for Rayshawn Jenkins. Maybe it's, you know,

514
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: one of those guys across the d line that flashes differently.

515
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: But I just there.

516
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: Needs to be a big game, the one where you're like,

517
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: he's the walk off interview, here's the podium, he's.

518
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: The guy defensive player of the week. Maybe yes, yes,

519
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: that's player of the week.

520
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 4: Is there a belt for that? Do they get one

521
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 4: of those?

522
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: We have a belt, belts and necklaces.

523
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: We'll work on that.

524
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: We'll work on that until until or while we do that,

525
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: we'll just say goodbye and we'll look forward to talking

526
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: to you next week on another edition of Seahawks Insiders

527
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:45,480
