Second down in two, 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: the hand off to Penny at the fifteen at five touchdown. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Seahawks getting you ready for Seahawks football every Sunday, First 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: and ten at the Seattle forty play Faked Stafford's gonna stop, 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna look, gets hit, comes down tack in midfield. Getting 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: to him in the backfield is Darryl Taylor. Presented by Delta, 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: the official airline of the Seahawks. Now here's your host, 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: Jen Mueller. Well, we wish that we were getting you 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: ready for another Seahawks game this season, but instead John 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: Boyle and I are going to wrap up a few 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: thoughts from the twenty twenty two season, which overall, John, 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: I hate the way it feels when a season ends. 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: I actually have a little pep in my step today 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, look, I know this team always 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: believes itself and had high expectations, but we all looked 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 1: at it going in of You know, some guys are 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: gone and we don't know what the season's gonna be. 18 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of us thought the future 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: is bright, but we're not sure about twenty twenty two. 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 1: So to come out of this year with nine wins, 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: a playoff, berth, a rookie class looking phenomenal, Like, there's 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: so much to be excited about. Yeah, it's no fun 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: being done, but I think everyone's kind of already ready 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: to look ahead well, and I think once you get 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: past that initial emotion, it's a little bit easier. Yeah, 26 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, locker room Saturday, after that loss, it caught 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: me off guard that Cody Barton could not finish an 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: answer to my question because he was tearing up too much. Yeah, 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: which then, of course makes me tear up, and then 30 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: that just turns into a disaster interviews shot. But part 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: of why Cody was that emotional is the camaraderie and 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: the bonds that have been formed on this team. I 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: think we have underestimated that just a little bit over 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: the course of the year, partly because you're looking at numbers, 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: but this is a close group. Yeah, for sure. Cody 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: actually talked about that the next day. I talked to 37 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: him and he said, you know, when I got here 38 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: four years ago, guys told me this different from college 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: as a business. You guys come and go. There's a 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: bigger age difference. Just all these different factors that you're 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: not as close as your college team. And he said, 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: you know, this year felt reminded me of college, where 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: you just you have those special bonds. And I don't 44 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: know if it's because there was a younger team, if 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: it's because of some of the guys who were gone, 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: you had new younger like more. Those guys are such 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: strong leaders. How about Russell Wison, Bobby Wagers, such strong voices. 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: I think they commanded so much that locker room, and 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: they earned it. When they're gone, it kind of opens 50 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: door for a lot of more people to have their 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: voices heard, to step up into leadership roles, and I 52 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: think that just created a different vibe on this team. Well, 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: and it's really interesting because I never would have thought 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: about it that way as far as age difference of 55 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: these players, right, which affects closeness, But they are they're 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: at about the same point in their lives, sprinkling in 57 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: some Bruce Irvin al Woods, you know, like yeah, Jefferson, 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Yeah you got some of the older Vets, but yeah, 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys still kind of find in 60 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: their way. Yeah, it was a good group and I 61 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: would never expect Pete to be anything but optimistic. But 62 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: he's pretty fired up at this point. Coming out of 63 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: this building yesterday with all these guys and the meetings 64 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: that we had, and I mean all of the opportunities 65 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to connect with guys, this is this is a new 66 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: place for us. Really, this is a different feeling. And 67 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, after losing the last game, which is always 68 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: the curse in the league, you know, it has its 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: way of kind of manifesting, and we've been through all 70 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: of that, and our guests just feel like we're getting started. 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: This is what it feels like, and they're excited about it, 72 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: they're encouraged about it. The coaches feel like that. Personnel 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: feels like that. Fueled by the big transition we made 74 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: last year and all of the elements that come along 75 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: with that, it's factored in. You know when we can 76 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: feel it, and coming into the going into the draft, 77 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: we can feel it. There's a momentum about it and 78 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be able to cash in. You know, you 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: mentioned Cody Barton getting emotional, and there's definitely some of that. 80 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: But I did actually get a sense when I was 81 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: in the locker room that it was maybe less kind 82 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: of and down then you might think. After playoff loss, 83 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: and I do think, again, everyone's going to process it differently, 84 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: but I do think it's some of what Pete's talking about. 85 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: There is like a lot of these guys know, like, yeah, 86 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: we would love to still be playing, but man, that 87 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: there's so much to be happy about and look forward to. 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: And you know, hear Ryan Neal the next day talking 89 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: about Gino's already in the locker room getting getting a 90 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: weight lift in a day after and just guys recognize that, Okay, 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: we weren't quite there yet, We're not quite the complete 92 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: team we need to be yet, but the foundations are 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: for something really good. I love that Gino was in 94 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: the weight room. Yeah. Also, I took that day off. 95 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: The only thing I lifted was a mimosa that afternoon. Yeah. 96 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: I'm usually a stickler for my morning workouts, not that day. 97 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: I made up for it in the day's following for 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: is optimistic as that locker room was. I do want 99 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,119 Speaker 1: to point out because I think a lot of people 100 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: go back to twenty twelve and they say that was 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: the last time that it felt like you ended on 102 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: a positive note even though you lost, and it was 103 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: a tough loss. There is a difference, Yeah, you and 104 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I both evered that team in twenty twelve. There was 105 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: a difference in personnel. Like, yes, this year's team accomplished 106 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot. You can see that the upward trajectory is 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: there and that they haven't even come close to reaching 108 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: their peak. But if we are being honest, there is 109 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that needs to happen and change 110 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: in the off season. Pete Carroll pointing to one of 111 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: those areas of need this week. It's killing me and 112 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: it really We're going to have to become more dynamic upfront. 113 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: We have to, you know, we've kind of been in 114 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: the same mode. We've got to get more production out 115 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: of the gather. They've got to be more factors, and so, 116 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: you know, we need to make that position really competitive 117 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: if we can, you know, and we'll see what we 118 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: can do. You're right that the twenty twelve comparison is 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: not a perfect one for starters that team. I mean, 120 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: that team was blowing people out at the end of 121 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: the year like it was, and it was a loaded 122 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: team on both sides of the ball. But one thing 123 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: that does kind of translate to me, how they go 124 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: about doing it might be different. But you go back 125 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: to that first press conference, Pet Carroll the one thing 126 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: he really needed was to get that defensive front and 127 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: more dynamic, and they went out and signed Michael Bennett 128 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: Cliff Avril, and they were two of the pieces that 129 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: really made a difference. Maybe it's not free agents, because 130 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have a lot more draft capital right now 131 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: than they did in that twenty thirteen draft, where you know, 132 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: like a lot of the years they've drafted later in 133 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: the draft, all that you're you're going to be able 134 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: to add potentially for really good, instant impact type guys 135 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: with those first and second round picks. So even though 136 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: there are some deficiencies on this roster, which you know, 137 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: he was asked a question, you know, comparing specifically to 138 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, how do you catch up to 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: the team that just won your division and beat you 140 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: three times? And the first thing he points to is 141 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: their front seven. Well, you know, yes, they need to 142 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: get better there, but you've got a lot of ways 143 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: between the salary cap shres you have in those draft 144 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: picks to potentially bolster that area in a hurry. Yeah, 145 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm curious, I'm gonna get your gut 146 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: reaction on how you think they're going to use those 147 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: draft picks, no idea, but I also think I also 148 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: think it's it's what they have. And it's kind of 149 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: like that I test of who are you going to 150 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: send off the bus first? Right? If I send this 151 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: player off the bus first, is not going to be 152 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: intimidating enough to the opponent. You've had these conversations, right, 153 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: and when you start looking at which one of the 154 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: Seahawks players can cause problems for the opponents, you know, 155 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: I absolutely in the back end there there's some talent there. 156 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: And we saw the takeaways and the force fumbles and 157 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: all of that. And here's what Pete Carroll said about 158 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the guys that he sees being problematic. The young guys 159 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: will improve and cause problems. China had a great season 160 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: for us, you know, and was a factor in every 161 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: game of causing problems. That's those are the kinds of players. 162 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: Jordan was like that as well. You could see Tarik 163 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: had the factor when Dazy really got back to going, 164 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: really got flying around out there, he had his effect 165 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: on the back end. Well, Jamal would be a part 166 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: of that, you know, and one of the guys that 167 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: had a really great year for us that maybe it 168 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: hasn't shown up yet. It was Ryan Neil. You know, 169 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Neill had a really effective year when he was playing. 170 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: He was out there, I made a lot of stuff happen. 171 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: His numbers were really good. As a productive player, we 172 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: need guys to be issues for the opponent and so 173 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: schematically we help them, but physically they got to do 174 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: their thing too, so we're competing to get better. The 175 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: six do definitely have guys, as Pete Carroll said that 176 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: our issues for the opponent. But you go back and 177 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: listen everybody he listened, it is pretty much all linebacker 178 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: and secondary other than New China, who, by the way, 179 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: had a great year twenty six quarterback hits nine a 180 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: half sacks. He's going to be a big party future. 181 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: But that again gets back to Okay, first of all, 182 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: let's hope you get two of those guys he mentioned 183 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: Fisher year on injured reserve with pre significant injuries, so 184 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: let's hope you get Jamal and Jordan Brooks with that 185 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: late of knee injury. We don't know how soon Jordan 186 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: Brooks will be at but if you have that talent 187 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: on the back, two levels. Okay, Now, let's find that 188 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: stutter to game wrecker defensive linement, which you know, to 189 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: be fair, this is a lot easier said than done. 190 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: That's one of the hardest things to get in this league, 191 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: and that's why those guys always get drafted so high 192 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: when they do come out of the draft. But you know, 193 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: I do like a lot of the kind of foundational 194 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: pieces of this defense. But they just they got to 195 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: find way is to get a little more dangerous up front. Well, 196 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: and the numbers have to change, right, five hundred and 197 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: five total yards of offense to San Francisco and give 198 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: credit to the Niners. We talked about it before that game. 199 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: You cannot give up explosive plays. Seattle allowed explosive plays. Now, 200 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: there's any number of reasons for them. Right. Your linebackers 201 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: get caught up in the wash, if your front four 202 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: can't get the pressure or hold up the way they 203 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: want to. You know, there's a penaltier too, likes. There's 204 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: a lot of things. Yeah, but the numbers overall, and 205 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: that's what Pete was talking about just a few minutes ago. 206 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: It's frustrating. It's not what you expected. Yeah, well, it's 207 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: said it's killing them because it's how inconsistent. It was. 208 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: It was it was pretty bad early in the air, 209 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: then they get on that winning streak and they played 210 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: four or five games a pretty solid defense. Then it 211 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: went back the other way. Then they finished here before 212 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: this four nine ers game, they're playing pretty good defense 213 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: to end the regular season. So it's finding that consistency. 214 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: I do think obviously upgrading the personnel will be a 215 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: big thing this offseason. But I do think even if 216 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: you didn't change the personnel, given another year in the 217 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: same defensive scheme, with these coaches, because they try to 218 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: do a lot different things, they're kind of adjusting on 219 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: the fly this year. I think just having that year 220 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: to look at, Okay, what worked, what didn't, what do 221 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: you mean to fix, and then going into an offseason 222 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: where it's not all new to everybody, I think you 223 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: should see some growth that way, just scheme wise too. Yes, 224 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: And for as much as we talk about encouraging points 225 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: during the season, the first half of that forty nine 226 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: ers game the wild card game was about as encouraging 227 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: as it could get for that defense. And I talked 228 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: to a number of these guys and we didn't really 229 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: talk about it in the interviews as much. They said, 230 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: we know we have seen what it looks like to 231 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: have a team on their heels. We can see the 232 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: look in their eyes. We know that we surprise them 233 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: because they thought they were going to come out and 234 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: just run all over us. That just seeing it put 235 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: together enough in the first half to have that lead, 236 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: I think that's as encouraging as anything that we've seen, 237 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: even though those final numbers, the ones that I mentioned 238 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: aren't what they want it. Yeah, and that's you know 239 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: again goes back to they gotta figure out ways to 240 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: clean up those mistakes because both the last two forty 241 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: nine Ers games, it's you play, you know, you play 242 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: a series where you have three or four really good play. 243 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: China kept getting in the backfield having a tackle for loss. 244 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: Is like every of the run was a tackle for 245 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: loss or an explosive play. So it's you gotta find 246 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: the middle ground of Okay, they get five yards out 247 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: of this instead of fifteen. Did you find it interesting 248 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: what Pete had said about Tarik wool in this week 249 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: and just kind of how many different ways and we're 250 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: going to talk about the offense in just a second, 251 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: but how many different ways Trek is going to improve 252 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: oh for sure. And I just thought it was interesting 253 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: because he was one of those that I think they 254 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: had schemed him differently in the wildcard game to kind 255 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: of take him out a little bit and to frustrate him. 256 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: But for as good as he was, I mean, the 257 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: laundry list that Pete gave about, well, here's where he's 258 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: going to get better and this is going to slow down. 259 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that. Yeah, And that's I mean, 260 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: you can kind of translate this to the whole rookie 261 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: class of all these guys did all these things and 262 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: contributed so much, you know, the tackles, do you think 263 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: all the experience they got against so many elite pass rushers. 264 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: Now they get an offseason to learn from that and 265 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: see what they you know, what didn't go well and 266 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: the things they can improve on, and they're just all 267 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: going to come back so much better. I think Trick Wallen, 268 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's such a physical marvel, and the interceptions 269 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: were great that you know, even when things weren't going right, 270 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: he could kind of make up for it. Sometimes we 271 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: saw some plays where a guy gets behind him and 272 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: he chases it down and breaks it up because he's 273 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: so fast. And the long limbs and all that. But yeah, 274 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: he's He's gonna be so much cleaner next year. It's 275 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. I also think when you bring up 276 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: the tackles, this rookie class more than any other that 277 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: I can remember in I mean, in the last decade, 278 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: they were quiet, They kept to themselves, they were not 279 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: the loudest people. I have heard that Charles Cross did 280 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: not say a word in game. I believe it. I 281 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: believe it too, But how hard is that? First of all, 282 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: I talked for a living, but like you never once, 283 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: You never once said something to your opponent. You never, 284 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: like never. I mean, it's he's a chill dude. He 285 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: is as is Abe Lucas, as is that entire class. 286 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Ken Walker to Reek would chat a little bit, but 287 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a trash talker. And I'm not 288 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: saying this in the Are you going to talk trash? 289 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: Here's one of the things I think this class is 290 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: going to do. As they come into their own they 291 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: will be more vocal. Their personalities are going to come out. 292 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: And if I'm talking about offensive lineman, I actually want 293 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: those guys to do that. I want those guys to 294 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: have just a little bit of that edge, right, and 295 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: I think that that elevates their game technique wise. Obviously, 296 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: I just think that elevates their games a little bit 297 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: out of though. He liked to kind of pancake guys 298 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: of the ground, and I still don't think he said 299 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: anything no, but you know he's got the metal the 300 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: metal guy in them. So yes, they did a heck 301 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: of a job project protecting Gino Smith who nobody saw 302 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: this coming. Anybody who said they saw this coming is 303 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: lying to your face or his name or his name, 304 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: that's true. I believe that he saw it coming. I 305 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: believe Gino saw it coming. Yes, nobody else expected this, 306 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: and he deserves a lot of praise for the year. 307 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: I think Gino's play in particular shows you that the 308 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: system is in order and need to get better. You know, 309 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: we need to improve, and Gino will be the first 310 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: to tell you. You You know, he's got to do more 311 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: things right. And that's the life of a quarterback. You know, 312 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: it's such an intricate position. There's so much that goes 313 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: to it. Every step he takes, every you know, turn, 314 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: every all of his footwork, all of those things can 315 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: be improved on. But we know exactly what we're trying 316 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: to get done, and it's really the communication level, it's 317 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: really at height, and so that's it's all of that. Yeah, 318 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: and now the million dollar question, more than one million 319 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: dollar question, what's it looked like? If you know is 320 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's both sides are talking like he's back. 321 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Pete Carroll said he's you know, he sees 322 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: him as the guy here, and Gino made it very 323 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: clear he wants to finish his career here. But there's 324 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot of tough business decisions to make. He's deservedly 325 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money, really for the first 326 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: time his career, that big payday, and he deserves it. 327 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: But it, you know, it creates a big question over 328 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: this whole offseason, over the draft, everything else, is you know, 329 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: what's that look like? And how's that get done? Yeah? 330 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: And I wonder if they do that earlier rather than later. Yeah, 331 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, and I'm not even going 332 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: to try to guess what the dollar amount is or 333 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: what the year is or anything like that. But if 334 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: you know that sooner rather than later, it clears up 335 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: a lot, absolutely, and I think that it gives confidence 336 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: to some of these other guys, because we just talked 337 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: about it. It's year two in a system or a 338 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: scheme or with a quarterback, right, could you execute the 339 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: offense with another quarterback? Sure, it happens all the time. Yeah, 340 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: it happened last year. But he was so effective, and 341 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: I think he did a great job of spreading the 342 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: ball out, keeping people involved, and just like bringing out 343 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: the best in his teammates throughout the entire year. Yeah. 344 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it would be best for a 345 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: lot of people involved if they can get this done, 346 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: and like you said, maybe get it done early so 347 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: it's not hanging over, you know, the whole off season 348 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: of free agency and draft and all that. But we'll see, 349 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: it's a lot easier for us to talk about than 350 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: for those guys to actually get done. Yeah. Also, I'm 351 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: not a numbers person, so that it starts to get 352 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: over my head real quick. I did recognize the numbers 353 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: of DK Metcalf though, Yeah, and that Wildcard game. He 354 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: had a couple of big games. I think it went 355 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: a little bit under the radar this year because of 356 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: the things we were talking about earlier, just inconsistencies at 357 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: various stretches and the course of the year. That wasn't 358 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: just for the defense, that was for the entire team. 359 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: It is kind of scary to think that Pete thinks 360 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: DC is just getting started. Look look at the game 361 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: DC had, man a great football game. DC's just he's 362 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: just finding it. He's just getting started. We saw him, 363 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: and I know everybody watched him. You know he's he's 364 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: so feisty and competitive and tough, and you know he's 365 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: finding he's finding his place as as the player that 366 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: he is, as many guys are. You you got to 367 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: figure it out and know who you are as the 368 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: player and as he really lies his impact that he 369 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: can have in the consistency that he brings, in the toughness, 370 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: in the style. He's just getting going. And I mean 371 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: he's been around four years and done so much. I 372 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: think we kind of forget until Pete Carroll says that 373 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: that he just turned twenty five, Like he's a young 374 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: twenty five. And that's a position that a lot of 375 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: guys develop at different rates, and you see guys play 376 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: great at that position into their thirties. So yeah, I 377 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: mean he's done a lot already in his career. You 378 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: look at his first four year numbers, and he's in 379 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: very rare territory and a lot of things yards, touchdowns, 380 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: all that, but there's plenty of room for him to 381 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: just continue to go up. Maybe that you know, again, 382 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: it's not just on DK. If he has a quiet game, 383 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: there's things defenses do. It can be the way the 384 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: offense is functioning. But I do think as he matures, 385 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: they're going to find ways to kind of get rid 386 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: of some of those quieter games where only has two 387 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: three catches. But man, as we saw on Sunday, when 388 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: they can get him going, he is almost impossible to stop. Well, 389 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: and some of that is also weapons around him. Yeah, 390 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: you could see a difference when Tyler Lockett wasn't out 391 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: there and when DK was the target that they were 392 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: taking away. And even I think maybe a little underrated 393 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: thing over the last few weeks is not having Marquis 394 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: good one out there. Yeah, look, Marquie's a good one. 395 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: Didn't put up I poppy numbers this year, but a 396 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: he is productive when they need him, and be teams 397 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: have to respect when you have Olympic caliber speed out 398 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: there and he's running deep, rout big, crossing your outs 399 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: to dragging guys across the field, and he does help 400 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: those other guys, and not that they don't have other 401 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: capable playmakers, but you lost an element of that third 402 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: elite speed guy out there. So I think, you know, 403 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: however they go about it, whether it's bringing somebody back, 404 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: whether it's Derek Young developing, if you have a really 405 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: good third third guy out there that's going to help 406 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: Tyler in DKA as well. Yeah, Derek Young, next Deebo Samuel. 407 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think very intrigued by him, Yes, 408 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: very intrigued, And I from day one of rookie Minicamp 409 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: this year just looks so smooth. He's big, he's physical, 410 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: he's fast, and he has granted it's a small school, 411 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: but he has background of doing a lot of different things. 412 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: Ran the wing tea and we saw a little glimpses 413 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: that late in the season. They lined him up at 414 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: fullback a few times. We saw him, you know, get 415 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: him the ball in a fly sweep kind of action. 416 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: So I do think, you know, if you're looking at 417 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: guys who you know, who is a guy that we 418 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: weren't talking about a lot this year that could be 419 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: a big factor next year. He's come back. Yeah, so 420 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: he talked about him. He's they got to get him 421 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: out there and healthy and keep him on the field. 422 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's still plenty of upside for him. I 423 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: am not going to ask you who the Seahawks are taking. 424 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm only going to ask this, do they keep the 425 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: picks as is? Or do they trade them? All of them? 426 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: Are the first two two? Well, I was giving you 427 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, do they keep the picks? Said yes? 428 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: And then seven rounds? No, they're gonna make trades because 429 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: there's no way John Shot can get through whole draft 430 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: top two. I mean, man, it's it just depends so 431 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: much on especially when picking out high, how the first 432 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: four picks fault and who else is interested. I mean, 433 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to be in that draft room 434 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: for the first round last year when they were making 435 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: those picks and it's guys are calling and then you're weighing. Okay, Well, 436 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: I mean they had a chance. Somebody wanted to come 437 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: up and take the pick where they got cross and 438 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: they just they had a good offer and they were 439 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: going to move back that far, but it was this 440 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: is our guy. We know we need a left tackle. 441 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: We love Charles cross, it's not worth messing around with 442 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: and potentially losing them. So if there's somebody they love 443 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: there at five, they're gonna take them. And you know, 444 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: but we know, John Scheider, if there's a chance if 445 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: your draft ward falls where you got enough and to 446 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: move back to eight and you got four guys sitting 447 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: there with the exact same grade, then maybe, yeah, you 448 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: move back a little bit and load up on more picks, 449 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: because even moving back a little when you're that high 450 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: up gets you a lottery turn. Yeah. Yeah, I don't 451 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: know how they're gonna play it. There's so much at stake, 452 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean there's there's a great opportunity no 453 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: matter what when you're picking five, whether it's getting a 454 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: great player or getting back a little bit of draft 455 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: and getting law draft capital and still getting a great player. 456 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot at stake. I also trust 457 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: these guys. They have done oh heck of a job. Yeah, 458 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: you look at the offseason John Schneider had from the 459 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: draft to some of the guys they added, obviously what 460 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: they got in that trade, he had a heck of 461 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: a year. And I hope that's recognized when people year 462 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: he deserves it. Yes, and right now we are going 463 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: to pause for a moment and get a word from 464 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: our presenting sponsor.

Delta the official airline of the Seahawks.

Look, green 499 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: Bay is awesome. Lambeau Fields is a bucket list experience 500 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: for a football fan. But we've been a lot, and 501 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: it's not that easy to get to, and it's not 502 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: easy to get to, and it's not easy to win. Yeah, 503 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: so hey, Detroit Direct flight. It's a dome if the 504 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: weather is bad. Now, I don't really want to mess 505 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: around with that team. But that's gonna be good. That's 506 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: a story friend today. That's a story for next year. Yeah, 507 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: that's a next year problem. Today me is not going 508 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: to worry about.

We're gonna put a bowl on 514 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two season, and I don't think we're 515 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: actually gonna go anywhere, though.
