1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,680
Speaker 1: But afternoon.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: You know how I feel about talking to you guys

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: on Thursday in regards to the previous game, so far removed,

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: but I will say that I was extremely proud of

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: the coaches and players and how we perform. I thought

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: the coaches did our standing job and our preparation and

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: getting these guys ready to play, and I thought the

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: players did our standing job for us going out and executing.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: Everything we do starts up front. Our D line is

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: really the focal point of this defense. You can't say

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: enough about you know, fifty four and fifty seven and

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: what they do, the best two.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: In the league.

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: But I think there's a position group that gets overlooked

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: quite a bit in the secondary. They're playing phenomenal football,

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: and I want to make sure that I recognize those

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: guys with the performers that they have played with the

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: last several weeks. You know, I think Mooney is doing

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: our standing job, uh, you know, trying to mirror and

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: follow the top receiver. Demo is being able to kick

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: inside and play nickel because of the UH play that

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: we're getting out of Ambry and UH stepping in and

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: performing at a high level. So UH, kudos of those

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: guys that on the back end you talk about give

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: the leader back there along with Jaire who had stepped

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: up since Huff has been out. Uh, those guys are

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: playing well and it's gonna be a difficult task uh

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: this week. Uh A lot of respect for Pete Carroll

29
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: and uh that coaching staff. Thanksgiving Day game has nothing

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: to do with our our performance and how we're gonna

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 2: play on Sunday. Norder last week, we gotta we gotta

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: go earn this one. Gotta go earn this one. And

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: with that, I'll take your questions.

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: And was saying after the game that what the d

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: line did was show counter to its DNA, you know,

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: being so patient and kind of uh deliberate.

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: W was that typicult in the week of practice to

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: kind of get them to be other than what they're

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: there used to be. Uh.

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: It it's always hard to try to to really deter

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: from your identity, you know, but it's all about you know,

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: the element that particular week, Uh, the situation and what's

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: best for for the defense. And UH kudos to those guys,

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: uh Casseric and uh Tap up front for you know,

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: uh number one implementing the game plan and those guys

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: going out executing. It wasn't about uh trying to get

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: stats this particular game. It was about making sure that

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: we maintain our rush lanes and did rush past the quarterback,

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: not giving them an opportunity to be a to step

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: up inside in the A and B gaps.

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: It's just like how you go about coaching that or

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: implementing that type of a game plan that is so

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: kind of drastically different.

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: During the course of play.

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Uh it's just you know, discipline, you know, and constant

56
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: uh repetition of what you want. And uh I again,

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: I just thought the guys did a great job trying

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: to execute and you know not you know, being very

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: unselfish and in doing their job this past weekend.

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: So uh I was excited to see that.

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: And once again, you know, I know a lot of

62
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: times everything is is predicated off production and sacks and

63
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: those kind of things.

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: But they executed the game plan. It was great.

65
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: Where, however, is it to find a group that is

66
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: so insultish like that?

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: Uh I, this this whole group, this whole defense is

68
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: that way.

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, you can see even at the end of

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: the game when.

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Killa got his uh sack, KD Uh, everybody on the

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: sideline was so excited. You even saw Deebo, you saw Trent,

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: you saw uh Juice. Everybody was so excited for him.

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: And uh that's just how this team is, you know, uh,

75
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: very unselfish players. When is there's something you've been doing

76
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: differently that's really just taking his.

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: Game to another level.

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: I don't wanna say so much different, you know. Besides yeah,

79
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: definitely going with the uh number one receiver. I think

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: his level of confidence is there. I think you know, uh,

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: he's playing with great technique uh odds in the right spot,

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: bless you. And I think he's just you know, really

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: locked in and focused.

84
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, You'm a shame that since the by Jon kin

85
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: Law has gotten a little bit better and better, you're

86
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: there watching them early in practice. What what exactly is

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: is kin Law doing uh over his last month that

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: is is noticeable?

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: Well, I can I can really go back even beyond that.

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: And and and I know you guys heard me talk

91
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: about kin loll back in the spring when we're talking

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: about guys who I think are gonna have a great year.

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: Uh.

94
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: I think the number one thing with him is he's healthy,

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, like he's been in the past.

96
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: And then there's one word uh that you're alluding to,

98
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: which is he's playing consistent. You know, he's really been

99
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: consistent in these last couple of weeks. I love the

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: way he's playing with low pad level.

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

102
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 2: Really, as we talk about all the time, trying to

103
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: create a new line of scrimmage, playing on their side

104
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: of the ball. Everything we do is about penetration, and

105
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: you can see that with him sack uh hurts help.

106
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: The ball for a long time, and you guys had

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: held up on the back end tremendous coverage. How did

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: you get from Cincinnati where it seemed like everybody was

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: open to where your guys are at now and coverage

110
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: kinds of things that you work on to get from

111
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 3: there to hear.

112
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: I think everything is is different, you know. Uh maybe

113
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: based off the call U. We always have a certain

114
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: term and terminology as we call plaster when the quarterback

115
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: starts to scramble and get outside the pocket. And that's

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: been a point of the emphasis last couple of weeks,

117
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: particularly with Jalen uh Hurts Uh with his ability to

118
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: you know, extend plays the same thing with you know,

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: so uh, we got to do a great job in

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: coverage and then when he's ready to try to, you know,

121
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: start winning with his legs, we gotta do a great

122
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: job on the back end for his plastering and staying

123
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: with receivers. And that's what you saw this past week. Logan,

124
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: Ryan had your defense a lot of experience, you know, uh,

125
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: two super Bowls and you know, a wealth of knowledge

126
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: where he can communicate and talk to these young guys,

127
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: particularly on the back end. And then also just understanding

128
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: he's coming into a culture that he's probably used to.

129
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: You know, these guys know how to work.

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: They go about their business is a different way, uh,

131
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: each and every day. So uh, I think with him

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: coming in, it's gonna be a smooth and easy transition.

133
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: For him as a full time starter.

134
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: I like the word confidence. Uh, He's very confident. I

135
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: love heights communicating and and talking. He's really taking the

136
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: initiative to you know, to be that vocal guy back there. Uh.

137
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: We always say all the time the formation is talking

138
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: to you, you gotta listen with your eyes.

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: It's it's telling you certain things.

140
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: He's communicating and verbalizing that with guys out there, which

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: has allowing him to be able to Uh, play fast

142
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: and be in position to make plays.

143
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: Khalid Davis.

144
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: We haven't seen a lot of him, but he's obviously

145
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: a very talented player. What do you like about his game?

146
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: Oh, man, Clid Clill has really you know, the whole

147
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: time when he wasn't in there, he he kept that

148
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: mindset of just waiting for his opportunity and for him

149
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: to seize it the way he did.

150
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: This past week.

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: Uh, it was glorifying for for not only him but

152
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: for everybody.

153
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Good pad level. Uh, he's very strong. Uh.

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: I love the way he comes off the ball, uses

155
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: his hands well and good. A lot of room movement

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: where he can shed and uh get down the line

157
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: of scrimmers and chase things down. So uh, he's gonna

158
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: be getting a lot of a lot of reps here

159
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: coming up soon.

160
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: One game since you saw him last, but it was

161
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: who was the Seahawks? Yeah, but it was a really

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: good game obviously. Did was there anything that popped out

163
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: or jumped off the screen to you just from explosive plays?

164
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: You know? DK?

165
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: Of course we know at any time he can make

166
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: those kind of plays. Uh that's what popped off. I

167
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: know they're running the ball well trying to run it more.

168
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: That was really Coach Carroll's mindset, uh, and trying to

169
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: get these guys going, which is gonna open up the

170
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: play action for him. So I assume Walker's gonna be back.

171
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: That's my mindset, that's our mindset. So, uh, it's gonna

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: be a difficult task. And like I said before Thanksgiving

173
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: Day last week, doesn't have anything to do with how

174
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: we're gonna perform in and win this football game. And

175
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: that's our mentality. So we're gonna have to go out

176
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: and earn it. And I know it's gonna be a

177
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: tough hard about him. Thank you,
