1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: This is the huddle every Thursday from Mune to two.

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: The huddle.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: This is Ave Wyman, Stacy Ross and Michael Bumpus. We

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: are taken back at week two in the NFL for

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: the Seahawks win over the Patriots. We're also going to

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: bring on safety ray Sean Jenkins in just a moment

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: here is going to join us. First, let's take back

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: at week two. Obviously, an amazing win for the Seahawks

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: to a o to start the season. How about that?

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: And this one wasn't easy, went into overtime. But bump

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: I think the thing that stands out most to most fans,

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: and I would imagine to you, was the performance of

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: Gino Smith. What'd you see?

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gino, he did his thing, and he did a

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: good job with a line in front of him that

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: had its struggles. Right, you focus on the run game

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: that weren't able to really get a push, get to

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: that second level, create lanes for Zach sharpa day to rum.

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: So at one point in the game, I'm.

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: Sure he had a conversation with his office of coordinator

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: and he was like, look, man, it's your show, Like

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: this is it. We're going to rely on you to

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: do a lot of the dirty work, and he showed

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 3: have been a big way and did this thing. Had

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: his first game winning drive of the year. Had five

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: of those things last year, so he's off too a

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: good start. Already had two receivers with over one hundred yards. Offensively,

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: things look better in one way worse than another. But

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: when the defense wasn't able to stop the run consistently,

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: they got stops when they can.

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: But then Gino kind of sealed to do well.

32
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: Iman looking at this one, obviously, the defense had an

33
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: up and down day, allowed the Patriots to get into

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: the end zone fairly early, ultimately allowed one hundred and

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: eighty on the ground. Before we get to those questions,

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: what did you like defensively in this game?

37
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: Well, I thought, first of all, they had a couple

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 5: of opportunities. I was just talking to Brady Henderson on

39
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: the way and like Spoon had a chance for I'm sorry,

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 5: Reek had a chance at a sack and he kind

41
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: of ran past it.

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 6: You saw boy maffe who had a.

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: Tackle in the backfield and you know he gets away

44
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: and it's forty five yards, and so yeah, I thought,

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: mainly as far as the defense goes, they've got to

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 5: fix some things as far as not letting linemen.

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 6: Out on the linebackers.

48
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 5: We don't have huge linebackers, and I thought that they

49
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 5: kind of they kind of struggled in that regard, but

50
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 5: you know, look, they ended up getting it done, and

51
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: I thought especially Gino, like Mike was saying, he just

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 5: took over the game and just incredibly accurate.

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 6: Was he seventy five percent?

54
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: I think seventy two percent last week, so one of

55
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 5: the more accurate passers in the league and got it.

56
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 6: Done that way. But yeah, it was a gritty win.

57
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think at the end of the day

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 5: or at the end of the year, you're going to

59
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 5: see that the Patriots have one of the best run

60
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 5: defenses in the league.

61
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again one of the best rushing games. Romandro

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Stevenson with not one hundred yard day, but another solid performance.

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: Gibson obviously part of a one two punch there for them.

64
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: I guess my final question defensively is just whether there's

65
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: anything overly concerning about one hundred and eighty on the ground.

66
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: I didn't leave feeling disheartened about the defense I found.

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, they're still fast. I think they match up

68
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 5: really well. This week, just because of all the misdirection

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: and speed and everything that comes from Miami's offense. But yeah,

70
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: I thought that was going to be one that that

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: maybe they were gonna you know, they're big upfront. I

72
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: thought our d line did a pretty good job. But there,

73
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 5: like I said, there's gonna have to be something. Just

74
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 5: as an example, I just remember, you know, when I

75
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: was playing linebacker, every once in a while, you'd have

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: a noseguard or a defensive tackle that would kind of

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: slow the guard down for you a little bit, which

78
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: I mean cheating, like grabbing his jersey a little bit

79
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 5: and just occupying him. So they don't have like a

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 5: one on one shot on Dodson or Teres Knight or

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: Baker who it is, whoever it is.

82
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 6: So yeah, they did a good.

83
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: Job with their blocking scheme, and I think also their

84
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 5: running back Stevenson is a very patient and he did

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: a good job.

86
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 6: The way I would describe.

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 5: It is that like if you look at it from

88
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: the end zone, it looks like a picket fence, but

89
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: if you look at it from the sidelines, it's like

90
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 5: the d lineman is on the fifty taken on his block.

91
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: The linebackers on the forty five taken on his block

92
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: and there's some room in there for them to weave,

93
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: and he did a really good job with that, taking

94
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: advantage of those gaps.

95
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 6: So they're gonna have to clean that stuff up. But

96
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 6: in the end, I.

97
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 5: Mean, they made enough plays to hang in there and

98
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 5: win in overtime.

99
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: On the road felt like a story of two different

100
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 2: ways to win a game offensively in this one Bump.

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: Last week they just stubbornly stuck with the defense and

102
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: ken Walker rewarded them with a one hundred plus yard day.

103
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: This time it was Jackson Smith and jig but and

104
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: DK who really took off, both with over one hundred yards.

105
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: Would you like about the way the pass opened up

106
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: for Seattle? It was clear that Jake, ope, we're gonna

107
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: get you. Sorry, guys, we're remote just fixing some tech

108
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: stuff here. There we go opep it. I think, Okay,

109
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have wyman on throw you a defensive question

110
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: and Bump, feel free to interrupt us while we get

111
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: this going, or unless you want to talk about just

112
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: DK or Jackson here.

113
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought they were going to have to put

114
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: the ball in the air. Look running first of all

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 5: you go in there, your your lead back is down

116
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: right Ken Walker, So you know that's that's number one.

117
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 5: And I think SHARPA Day is a really good player.

118
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: But and he did it. He did a great job.

119
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 5: But they have three twenty three thirty three hundred up front.

120
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: They are three linebackers are throwbacks, they're backbreakers, they're like

121
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: two fifty five. And then they got two safeties and

122
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 5: peppers and dugger that are you know, playmakers. So I

123
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, I think that their corners are suspect.

124
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 5: And like I said, it's very rare that a game

125
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: plays out the way I think it will.

126
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: But that's what I thought that they would have to do.

127
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: That they were going to have to kind of desert

128
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 5: the run a little bit and put the ball up.

129
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: And Gino's incredibly accurate. He does a great job thrown

130
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 5: on the run.

131
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 6: He's fast. I mean, I can't.

132
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 5: Believe that, Like his speed looks like it's changed over

133
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: over the offseason.

134
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 6: He's faster.

135
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: You notoriously become a faster runner in your thirties.

136
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: People, Oh yeah, that's well known fact.

137
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 5: If only that had happened to me. But yeah, I

138
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 5: mean I thought that that was that was great. I

139
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 5: just am very impressed with Grub. You know, they did

140
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: the one sprint out at the end, I think it

141
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: was on the overtime drive, and then Gino and Tyler

142
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 5: Lockett at the same time both ran back across the field.

143
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: And I actually asked Grub after the game, I go,

144
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 5: was that by design?

145
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 6: And He's like, oh, no, no, no, no, And I

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 6: was like, well, look, we like to call it. We

147
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: called it, so it looked like that was a genius play.

148
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 5: But I just thought that was amazing connection between those

149
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 5: two and that was a huge catch for Tyler Lockett.

150
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 5: And then on that same drive you had Sharvining make

151
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 5: some really good plays. His feet are unbelievable. So yeah,

152
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: it was to me. And like Mark Schlarath was saying

153
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: to us yesterday, don't apologize for a win. You beat

154
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 5: a team on the road, ye in overtime.

155
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's huge, Bump.

156
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: I know you feel strongly about that. I was going

157
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: to ask you about the receivers, but I know that

158
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: you always feel like you don't discount a win no

159
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: matter the opponent.

160
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, at any level, it might not have played

161
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: out the way you wanted it to. Your team didn't execute,

162
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: and you can look at some things and say, all right, well,

163
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: if we continue to do this, then this is going

164
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: to be an issue. But yeah, man, don't ever apologize.

165
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: We'll go ahead all right, and we are going to

166
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: be joined right now by Seahawks safety ray Sean Jenkins.

167
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: Ray Shawn, We're so excited to have you here on

168
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: the huddle. And I know that we're supposed to be

169
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: looking back at week two here and kind of looking

170
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: ahead to the Dolphins, but I just have to say,

171
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: heck of a tackle week one to say, what felt

172
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: like it might have been a touchdown there? How'd it

173
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: feel to kind of get your season started there at Lumen?

174
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: I mean, it felt really good.

175
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 7: It was everything that I kind of expected from, you know,

176
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 7: the twelves and everything. Very loud environment, hostile environment if

177
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 7: you're you know, not the home team, and like you said,

178
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 7: the tackle, you know that's my job description. Something breaks

179
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 7: is not going to be pretty all the time. Just

180
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 7: you know, at the end of the day, make sure

181
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 7: the ball's on the ground.

182
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, how on is that to play in front of

183
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: that crowd? I just remember back in the Kingdom days,

184
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: you could be standing right next to somebody and you

185
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 5: can't hear, and so you got to use hand signals. Yeah,

186
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: but the adrenaline surge that you get from that crowd

187
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: is well worth it, right.

188
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's definitely well worth it.

189
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 6: You know.

190
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 7: I've never had a home crowd like that ever, you know,

191
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 7: in my all my life playing playing football, So that was.

192
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: Pretty cool to experience.

193
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 7: And just like you said, man, you know, the crowd

194
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 7: plays into the game, the toils playing to the game,

195
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 7: so you know, it gives you that burst of energy,

196
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 7: It gives you that momentum that you may need to

197
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 7: you know, accomplish a third down or critical moment into

198
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 7: the game, and they just come alive.

199
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 4: You feel it.

200
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: So remind me in week one, was it the offense

201
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: who got the entrances onto the field?

202
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

203
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's your guys' turn this time around. Have

204
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: you thought about whether you're going to be running out,

205
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: are you going to be waving? Are you going to

206
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: do it? Like I'm a thought Rashana we put into

207
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: the entrance here.

208
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: I really put too much thought into it, honestly, But

209
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure something that come to me that's kind

210
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 7: of just how I've kind of been my entire career,

211
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 7: So I'm excited to see for myself it's going to

212
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 7: have It's.

213
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Going to be so funny, it's fun to watch.

214
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 6: Maybe it's going to be a cartwheels.

215
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: Can we take credit for it if it ends up

216
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: being a carbo where you could just come out and

217
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: do the polite professional you know, I am veteran, know

218
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: what I'm doing.

219
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 6: We don't do that because you heard yourself.

220
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: But no, tell us about coach McDonald and like, how

221
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 5: much of is it is he like the decordinator? Basically

222
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: is he that involved or are you mostly talking to

223
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: coach Ad or how's the interaction on the sideline?

224
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, I mean they kind of have their own

225
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 7: role or flavor they kind of bring to the defense.

226
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: I would say Coach McDonald's definitely the X and those

227
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 7: guys guy, and then Coach Ad is definitely just the

228
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 7: mindset guy.

229
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 4: You know, how do we want to take the look?

230
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 7: We want guys flying around being physical and then you know,

231
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 7: like I just said, coach coach McDonald, he comes in,

232
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 7: he handles the X and those This is how we're being attacked,

233
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 7: you know, just how we're going.

234
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: To stop them. You guys have been such a sound

235
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: tackling team through two weeks, and I know that that's

236
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: so hard when you start a season right, normally we

237
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: see defensive errors early because you guys just don't get

238
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: as much practice doing that in training camp. What kind

239
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: of work did you guys do in preseason? Was it

240
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: like tackle drills constantly? Was it just doing stuff over

241
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: and over? Did it feel like they were drilling it

242
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: in or what.

243
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Was that like?

244
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 6: Yeah?

245
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely, so I would definitely say tackling was definitely a

246
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 7: focal point in camp, tackling turnovers, which is you know,

247
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 7: which is the case amongst all the teams that I've

248
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 7: been on. So, I mean, but what we did different

249
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 7: was we really we were intentional every day. So we

250
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 7: would come out, we would have actual stations that we

251
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 7: would just rotate through for about ten minutes early in

252
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 7: the practice. And we still do it now, you know,

253
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 7: and it's not even training company more so we still

254
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 7: go out there and we just make it a focal

255
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 7: point and we go out there with intent, not.

256
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: Just going through the motions or anything like that.

257
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 7: And then we may not be getting live reps, but

258
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 7: just I would say it's it's kind of like a

259
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 7: mental rep in a sense to where you know, it

260
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 7: just translates to the game.

261
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: It shows, it shows early.

262
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, the tackling, especially in the first game.

263
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 5: Like I just remember kind of clenching up when I

264
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 5: had an open field tackle situation and like you you're

265
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 5: so afraid you're gonna miss the tackle.

266
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 6: It seems like your guys' mentality.

267
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: It's kind of like the first guy down on punt

268
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: or kickoff, like take a shot, absolutely, and you and

269
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 5: when you do that, you know where your help is

270
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: and you don't worry about it.

271
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 6: Is that kind of free you up a little bit? Yeah?

272
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 7: Absolutely, So just like you said, first guy, mentally, take

273
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 7: a shot because you trust that your team is pursuing

274
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 7: from the backside of wherever they are to uh, you know,

275
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 7: clean up anything that that you might miss. And you know,

276
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 7: we we have that opposite mindset. Actually we're not afraid

277
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 7: when we see those because we trained a lot. So

278
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 7: it's just like just a normal it's just another just

279
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 7: normal down. So it's like hey, ball in the flat breakdown,

280
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 7: go take a shot. But it's it's it's the saying

281
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: we say a good mistackle. You know, all mistackles aren't bad,

282
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 7: you know, as long as you're missing it to your

283
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 7: leverage and clarinet clarifying it for you know, the guys

284
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 7: that's pursuing and redirected, stopping the ball carrier's feet and

285
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 7: everything like that.

286
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: That that all plays a part into it.

287
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 5: When I'm calling out the games on the radio and

288
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: I see an open field situation, I still clean up.

289
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 5: You guys are fun to watch though, man, Yeah, thank you.

290
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: What was the coolest tackle that you or your biggest

291
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: tackle where you were like, I took down that Hall

292
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: of Famer.

293
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 6: Oh, I don't remember.

294
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 5: I think Eric on a punt. Well, it was that's mentality.

295
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 5: I was running down on a punt. I was the

296
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 5: first guy there and I just took a shot and

297
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: made a tackle and it was kind of freeing.

298
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it made you.

299
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 5: It made you feel like okay, And and the other

300
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 5: thing is it's like if you just redirect the guy,

301
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 5: you're kind of doing your job.

302
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

303
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920

00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: is going to need to finish uh some of their

317
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: pressures when it comes to getting to the quarterback. In

318
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: this one, they were able to really bring the pressure

319
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: in the first half, though didn't quite ratchet up those

320
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: sacks until a bit later. What have you seen there

321
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: in terms of what they've been doing well and then

322
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: in terms of what you'd like them to just tweak

323
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: a little bit when it comes to pass rush in

324
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: week three?

325
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, we were just talking with

326
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 5: Jenkins about, you know, taking a shot and just flying

327
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: and not worrying about it. But I think that when

328
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: you get in the backfield and it's a sack situation

329
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 5: or tackle for a loss, you got to slow down

330
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 5: a little bit.

331
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 6: You know, you got to like make sure you secure.

332
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 5: You know, I think it was reek that you know,

333
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 5: had a blitz, Spoon was coming off the other side,

334
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 5: and you know, by the way with Spoon, like he

335
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 5: had those two penalties, but then you know, you see

336
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: him make some ridiculous plays and he's so fast that

337
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: you know, receivers and lineman can't block him. So it

338
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: wasn't like they were, you know, and he was making

339
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: sure tackles. But there was just a couple of times

340
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: where I thought, you know, when you come on a blitz,

341
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: you got to you got to slow it down a

342
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: little bit and make sure you get the quarterback on

343
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: the ground and kind of come under control. I was

344
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: kind of comparing it to I remember last year. Remember

345
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: Jamal Adams went flying through the guard b gap and

346
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 5: he ran right past the quarterback. You know, you just

347
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 5: have to kind of come under control a little bit.

348
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 5: But look, these are nitpicky things, I thought. I thought

349
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 5: that the main thing that needs to happen is that

350
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: our d line needs to keep the offensive line off

351
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 5: our linebackers a little.

352
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Bit more bump. The story of week one was what

353
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: can you do against a rookie passer? The story in

354
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: week two was how can you stop the run? And

355
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: raymondra Stevenson, what's the story of week three here?

356
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: Get after this quarterback.

357
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: I mean, look, most might play We'll see chen It

358
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: sounds like he should be.

359
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: Good to go.

360
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: Like they're still going to have their weapons on the

361
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: outside and presumably yeah, in the backfield. But you just

362
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: can't let the backup quarterbacks do what they seem to

363
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: do against the Seahawks. But thankfully we're on the road.

364
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: Usually the backups quarterbacks come to Seattle and do their thing.

365
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: So just get that stank offfee when it comes to

366
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: these backup quarterbacks, Man, make that QB throw a couple

367
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: of interceptions. Make them become one dimensional like the Patriots

368
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: made the Seahawks. Look, you're not gonna be able to

369
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: run the football, be one dimensional and have them beat.

370
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: You that way.

371
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say, get after Skyler Thompson.

372
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: Is this a game in which we can hope that

373
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: the Seahawks run game takes off? I mean, where are

374
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: some areas where we're hoping Seattle can attack the Dolphin defensively?

375
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.

376
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: I think the Hogs have the capabilities to do whatever

377
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: they want to if they just execute and that's every team,

378
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: right a jet fish.

379
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: We just execute, but just work.

380
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,119
Speaker 3: But you know it's uh, it all starts with the bigs.

381
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: If you're throwing the football, if you're running the football,

382
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: just the bigs if they take a step forward, I

383
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 3: think you should be able to execute whatever game plan

384
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: Greb wants.

385
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: Ideally, we'd love to see Nanibosu returned to this team

386
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: very soon, but if he can't, Bob Dave, I have

387
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: loved what I've seen from boy and offa.

388
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 6: Off, he's special.

389
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: After the first two games, and there was one play

390
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: against and I feel like every time he makes a mistake, he.

391
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 6: Learns from it and you never see it again.

392
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: So one of the plays against bow Nicks, he was

393
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: rushing him and Bo was out on the edge and

394
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 5: he jumped and put his hands up, or you're supposed

395
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: to put your hands up and not jump, because then

396
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 5: he can get corner on you right then. And since then,

397
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: I've never seen him do that. Yeah, And I feel

398
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 5: like every year he gets better and better, and his

399
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 5: speed is surprising to me, and I know that he's

400
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: laying awake at night and wishing he had made that tackle.

401
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 5: And with Osborne, I think or they're backup running back

402
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 5: because you know, gives Gibson sorry, yeah, and it ends

403
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 5: up going for forty five.

404
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 6: And I know, I know that will never happen again

405
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 6: with him.

406
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: I mean, well I can't say that, but I mean,

407
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 5: like it just it just seems like every year he

408
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: has learned something and he just gets better and better

409
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 5: and better, and he is just incredibly a special player.

410
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 5: And I've mentioned him, you know when we do the

411
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: you know, postgame recaps, like I've mentioned him both weeks

412
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 5: just because I'm loving what I see from him. I

413
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 5: think he is going to be like a superstar player.

414
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: Well, and how exciting if Seattle finally finds that guy, right,

415
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's been since what Frank Clark was here

416
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: in the twenty eighteen season that they had double digit

417
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: sacks from a defensive player. They've kind have been looking

418
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: for that impactful guy at an outside linebacker or rege

419
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: rusher spot. Maybe it is Boye. How exciting if that's

420
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: the case. Okay, coming up at one pm, the three

421
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: of us are going to talk with Ray Roberts, go

422
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: in the trenches, figure out what's going on with this

423
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: offensive line and how they can take a step forward

424
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: literally and figuratively. Before then, though, you guys are going

425
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: to hear from head coach Mike McDonald. That's coming up next.

426
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 8: This This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to

427
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 8: two on Seattle Sports.

428
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: All right, here from the Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald

429
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: speaking to reporters.

430
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 9: Now, good coach builds out a lot of success against

431
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 9: the Dolphins in the past, especially limiting Tyreek Hill about

432
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 9: half his career average in yardage. What have you learned

433
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 9: by looking at them? And it's Leslie Frasier giving you

434
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 9: any insights.

435
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 10: Into what they did.

436
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, the Bills have played them really well. So give

437
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 11: credit to their players, their their coaching staff, their plans.

438
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 11: When it comes down to like game planning and stuff,

439
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 11: it's tough to copy teams because there's there's so many

440
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 11: little details in how you're coaching stuff. So you get

441
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 11: in to have if you're starting to copy folks, that's

442
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 11: not really not where we want to be. So we're

443
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 11: always looking at it like through the lens of what

444
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 11: we do and uh, but they do a great job

445
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 11: with with They've done a great job with Tyreek. You know,

446
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 11: Leslie's been in the division he's seen these guys a

447
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 11: good bit, so we're leaning on him this week, you

448
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 11: know for sure.

449
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 12: About what changes without for for Miami.

450
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, you know right now, you don't what

451
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 11: information you are gonna go off of. You know, you're

452
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 11: gonna go off of preseason, You're gonna go off of

453
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 11: you know, the last game. Scholars started for those guys,

454
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 11: probably the end of the last game.

455
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 13: So again, you're you're early in the year.

456
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 11: It's it's a it's a it's tough to make assumptions

457
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 11: on what's gonna change, So trying to just go off

458
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 11: of trying to stick to our usual procedure as much

459
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 11: as we can. And then you know what we think

460
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 11: about Tyler and or Skylar excuse me.

461
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 13: Go from there.

462
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 14: Coach to get set a couple of times in the

463
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 14: last two years, what jumps out about the weapons they

464
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 14: have and how Mike McDaniel.

465
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 15: Schemes it up.

466
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 13: They do a phenomenal job.

467
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: The stats back it up.

468
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 6: Very well.

469
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 11: Coached talk about and we talk about like elegant simplicity,

470
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 11: and it's it's it's consistent for the quarterback, the angles

471
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 11: in the run game, the speed on the field, how

472
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 11: they're able to include everybody, all their playmakers and stuff.

473
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 11: They play incredibly fast, they do a great job, so

474
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 11: I'm broken record, But like every every week, it's kind

475
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 11: of you know, we have we have to have a

476
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 11: sound game plan that is complimentary. We've got to really

477
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 11: execute it because there's a lot of some of the

478
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 11: things the looks, you know, you are not consistent from

479
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 11: week to week, so you kind of have to apply

480
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 11: rules once the.

481
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 13: Game kind of hits and be able to adjust on

482
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 13: the fly. So got a challenge ahead of us.

483
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 6: You after you gets to.

484
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 15: Stand out about Skyline Leans.

485
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 11: Watching well, he's willing to keep the ball a little

486
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 11: bit longer than Thana toash he was playing really really

487
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 11: fast and the ball comes out pretty quickly on time,

488
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 11: on target. He's got the same ability to do those things,

489
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 11: but I'd say the ability also to if you add

490
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 11: the extended play to the to that element, that's something

491
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 11: that you have to take into account, probably more so

492
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 11: than when Tua again just not It's a tough because

493
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 11: it's not.

494
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 13: A huge sample size to see.

495
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 11: And it's been a long time and you get talking about

496
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 11: a couple of years of growth from when he started

497
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 11: last in the in a in a playoff game being

498
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 11: in the system. So that's where we're at right now.

499
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 16: Miami is known for their explosive plays just in general,

500
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 16: is a defense what needs to happen to limit some

501
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 16: of those yards that they've been affected at.

502
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, they do a great I mean, they do a

503
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 11: great job of attacking on the perimeter with their perimeter

504
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 11: blocking and the angles at they create. And then also

505
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 11: you know, I don't think they get enough credit for

506
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 11: like inside interior type runs you know, able to cut

507
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 11: defenses and yards after contact, things like that. And then

508
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 11: if you're not on your p's and q's and the

509
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 11: play action game and the catch and run game, if

510
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 11: you're not taking great angles, they'll make you pay because

511
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 11: they're just it's a lot of it's a lot of

512
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 11: type of catch and run types ideas and then run

513
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 11: past you and so.

514
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 13: Your at your your leverage, your leverage.

515
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 11: And your angles and your pursuit need to be on

516
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 11: point otherwise they'll run past you.

517
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 13: And we don't want that.

518
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 7: I'll look at your own run game outside of maybe

519
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: the second half, because Denver, what have you seen in

520
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 7: terms of the areas of concern?

521
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 11: Maybe I think we just gotta we got to find

522
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 11: our our our calling card. We got a lot of

523
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 11: good stuff going on, but we're we're trying to find

524
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 11: our our sweet spot right now. So I think that's

525
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 11: that's where we're at, you know. I think we have

526
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 11: a pretty good plan started right now during the week

527
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 11: and excited to see us go do it today in practice.

528
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 10: Is the defense look like a carbon copy of what

529
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 10: you're doing with?

530
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 11: No, it's no, it's not a carbon cop it's this

531
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 11: is This is the Miami Dolphins defense led by Anthony Weaver.

532
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 11: I think they're doing a really, really great job. A

533
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 11: lot of respect for those guys and the coaches on

534
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 11: that staff, and then obviously they got some really good

535
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 11: players too. So there's a lot of concepts that you

536
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 11: see that are similar to to what we do and

537
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 11: things that we've installed here, But it's their defense.

538
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 17: Is ken gonna practice this week, we'll see it feels

539
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 17: like the.

540
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 9: Two the run defense, the run offense for the Patriots

541
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 9: versus the run offense for the Dolphins feels different in

542
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 9: terms of where they're attacking you, and a lot more

543
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 9: in the edges for the Dolphins.

544
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 10: How do you coach differently?

545
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 9: How do you defend those types of offenses differently and what

546
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 9: positions come into more focus to defend them.

547
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 11: Well, I think you kind of answered it based off

548
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 11: your question, but I you know, it's an inside out game,

549
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 11: probably more against the pats where you know, if you're

550
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 11: not protected on the edges and in the alley. Even

551
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 11: though they do do a great job talking about Miami

552
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 11: on downhill runs, uh there, you know, there's a lot

553
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 11: of space out there, you know, so you got to

554
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 11: you gotta be on again. Who's force, who's in the alley,

555
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 11: who's inside out, how you're playing, how your leverage blocks.

556
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 11: I mean that that's a that's a huge point of emphasis.

557
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 11: I would say New England's probably like, hey, we know

558
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 11: exactly who's probably gonna block us on this snap. You know,

559
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 11: how do you play that block? You know, it's more

560
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 11: of a person on person. Miami does a good job

561
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 11: of bluffing off, like messing with your edges, bluffing off

562
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 11: the you know, bluff kickouts, bluff cracks. So they do

563
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 11: a really good job of putting your edge guys in stress.

564
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 11: So we get you know, we have to do a

565
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 11: great job throughout the week of simulating those looks for

566
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 11: our guys so they can play those blocks the right

567
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 11: way and then we're fitting it right around those guys.

568
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 6: How is you cha doing?

569
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 13: I just don't w progressing well?

570
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 9: Jeral Bicker and updates, No, no updates.

571
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 16: How was the last couple of games with the number

572
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 16: of plays and the challenges with communication? Help when you

573
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 16: face an offense like this where you're gonna have to

574
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 16: to make those adjustments and be communicating.

575
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, well you're at home, so you can't be you know,

576
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 11: speaking in paragraphs out there. You gotta be quick. You

577
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 11: have to play with anticipation off the movement. Again, they

578
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 11: do a great job, like you're not going to see

579
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 11: the same pictures from week to week that you would on.

580
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 13: A normal offense.

581
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 11: So they're going to dress it up, They're going to

582
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 11: be and it's all through in the lens of how

583
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 11: do you create the angles, how do you set up

584
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 11: the blocks? Which they do is good a job as

585
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 11: anybody in the league. And so you have to play

586
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 11: with anticipation. Your calls can't be you know, crazy complicated.

587
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 11: So we have to do as coaches. We have to

588
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 11: help our guys out so they can go play fast.

589
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 14: What if you I've seen from Charles Cross two games in.

590
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 14: I know he was the guy who talked about a

591
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 14: lot during camp how well he was doing.

592
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 11: But now that yeah, it's a continuation of what we've

593
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 11: seen in camp. I thought Charles has played two really

594
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 11: good games. I thought he played really well this past game. Guy,

595
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 11: we're going to be leaning on moving forward. He's doing

596
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 11: a tremendous job.

597
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 16: When will you start to trust the trends or the

598
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 16: numbers that you're seeing, Like, how many games into the

599
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 16: season do you start putting stock into some of those things.

600
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's it's a great question.

601
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 6: Not sure.

602
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 11: It's kind of like the preponderance of what they're giving

603
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 11: you and then how it feels like kind of matching

604
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 11: the numbers with the eye test. In some situations you

605
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 11: might be more willing to lean in on those things,

606
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 11: whereas some where you say, hey, it's probably not strong

607
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 11: enough yet. Let's you know, let's just kind of operate,

608
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 11: you know, standard procedure right now, and then we'll kind

609
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 11: of just move forward.

610
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 13: But three weeks in it is probably too early.

611
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 11: You know, you start to getting into game four and five,

612
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 11: and now I think those things have become a little

613
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 11: bit more pronounced.

614
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 17: Have you seen Connor Williams sort of keep progressing from

615
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 17: week to week because he's.

616
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 11: Gotten as Yeah, I thought he played well, you know,

617
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 11: for what we asked him to do, and how fast

618
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 11: he ramped up. I thought, you know, if you ask him,

619
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 11: he's probably frustrated a little bit. How he played the

620
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 11: first game, I thought it was pretty dang good, and

621
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 11: then I thought, you should have a big jump in

622
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 11: the second game. So if we can stay on that

623
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 11: trend will be we'll be cooking.

624
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 10: What are you seeing from your front three?

625
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 18: And Reed Hankins and Williams and also I guess for

626
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 18: Brian Murphy and I just mean the way that they're

627
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 18: working as a team getting so many quarterback hits.

628
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, what are you seeing there?

629
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 11: Well, we ask a lot of those guys on early

630
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 11: downs to you know, not a big penetrating front. So

631
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 11: like they have to play blocks, they have to stay square,

632
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 11: they have to set up a second level for first success.

633
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 11: And then when we're able to take double teams off,

634
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 11: that's when they make their hay on early down. So

635
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 11: that's an unselfish job, and those guys do it is

636
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 11: they're doing a great job. I know the run stats

637
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 11: right now don't really set it up. But if you don't,

638
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 11: you can't put it on those guys. I think they're

639
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 11: doing a great job. And in order for them to

640
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 11: do that, that's that creates passing situations. All the things

641
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 11: that you've been asking throughout the off season about how

642
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 11: it gels, understanding how you work together, who you know,

643
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 11: who kind of has the priority rush in certain situations,

644
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 11: who's kind of the two gap guy in the rush.

645
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 11: They've really attacked it mentally so they can go play fast,

646
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 11: and then what happens is you end up playing off

647
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 11: one another. And that's just again that takes tep. It

648
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 11: takes time, takes chemistry, takes reps, and they've put in

649
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 11: the work.

650
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 13: So I think you're seeing the dividends of that.

651
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 18: Are they playing as fast as I know you're going

652
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 18: to say that each week they got to get better?

653
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 13: But if I said that, yeah, go ahead.

654
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 18: Stacking plays if you will, But how could what would

655
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 18: you say about this speech.

656
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 10: Just just how how fast they're playing.

657
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 18: Is this what you'd expect them to be as you

658
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 18: progress towards the Yeah?

659
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 11: I think yes, I mean I think if I think

660
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 11: like a fair assumption on that question is like Okay,

661
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 11: what would you What would the guys say if you

662
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 11: ask them that same question, and I would say they

663
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 11: would say they're not there yet. You know, I think

664
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 11: there's there's definitely a room for improvement.

665
00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 13: But we're on the right track.

666
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 11: I mean, the guys are, They're doing a great job.

667
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 11: Each game plan is gonna be different, you know, I

668
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 11: don't know. Again, I'm not breaking down the numbers of

669
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 11: what we called and win this past game, but we're

670
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 11: gonna try to do structurally on defense whatever it takes

671
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 11: to win the game. It's not trying to see how

672
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 11: sweet you are, just trying to be as productive as

673
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 11: you possibly can.

674
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 13: The guys did a great job last game closing it out.

675
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: Here from DK Metcalf coming your win next.

676
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 8: This This is the huddle every Thursday from noon to

677
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 8: two on Seattle Sports Now.

678
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 19: Gino slows everything down again. Charbonay is lined applied to

679
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 19: the near side and in the slot is.

680
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 20: DK Metcalf motion back inside of stram.

681
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: Blitz is coming.

682
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 20: Gino's gonna let him ply, DK can five struts touchdown, Sayhawks.

683
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 15: The Seahawks got just.

684
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 6: What they wanted.

685
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 20: They got a blitzen single coverage and DK met can't

686
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 20: ran right past the secondary wide open. Gino laited on

687
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 20: him a fifty six yard touchdown strike and we're a

688
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 20: point away from being tied.

689
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: Here in Foxborough, was dk Metcalf. He's speaking to reporters

690
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: now if you're.

691
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 14: In here to hear what Mike just said about Tyler.

692
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 14: But what ty can do in the game even when

693
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 14: the ball's not coming his way.

694
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 13: A time, when you go back and.

695
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 14: Look at last week, like how was he impacting the

696
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 14: game beyond just the catches.

697
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 15: Well, he drew two pis one that helped us close

698
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 15: the game out on our final drive. So even I

699
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 15: think when he doesn't catch the ball, he still impacts

700
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 15: it because defenses have to respect him. He's a ten

701
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 15: year ven in his league. Wo's done an amazing thing,

702
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 15: So you got to prepare for him.

703
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 17: Is there an hard to drawing a pi at all?

704
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 17: I mean, it seems like he gets maybe a few

705
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 17: more of those than some guys.

706
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, it seems like I can't get none and he

707
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 15: get all of them. So yeah, I mean, I guess

708
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 15: it evens out. But now he's one of the best

709
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 15: that I've ever seen, you know, a drawing a pi.

710
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 15: Whenever the ball goes his way, he either catches it

711
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 15: or there's a PI nine times out of ten. So no,

712
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 15: I don't think there's an art to it. I think

713
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 15: you know, he has a downpack.

714
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 12: Wame is a team that you basically don't see very often.

715
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 16: Does that make a difference when you go to game

716
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 16: plan or when you're trying to figure out tendencies for

717
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 16: some of those guys you'll go against.

718
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 21: Uh?

719
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 15: No, I mean I've been going against Jalen quite a bit.

720
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 15: Kendall Fuller, he used to be with the Washington Commander,

721
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 15: so seeing him quite a bit, and they got to

722
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 15: a new safety and Justin Poyer d line is pretty

723
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 15: much the same. But I think they're the key focus

724
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 15: of this group. So no, I mean, it doesn't change

725
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 15: the game plan. You still gotta go out there and execute.

726
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 15: But I think the defensive scheme is pretty much the

727
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 15: biggest point that we got to try to decipher and

728
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 15: you know, execute better than them. We go against the

729
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 15: defense every day pretty much. Mike runs the same defense.

730
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 15: Well they run the same defense as Mike. Let mean

731
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 15: not you know, give him his but nah, I mean

732
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 15: it's just pretty much comes down to execute along those lines.

733
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 10: I mean, how similar is it?

734
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 6: Like, is it pretty much the same thing?

735
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 15: Yeah, it' pretty much the same defense they do. They

736
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 15: have a couple of nuances, just like the Tennessee Titans

737
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 15: had a couple of nuances. Still same defensive scheme with

738
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 15: its you know, little alignment issues here and there.

739
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 12: So what have you learned it going against your defense

740
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 12: and being ready for that style?

741
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 15: Very multiple, very schematic to where they will bluff, uh

742
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 15: bluffing blitz and other places. I mean, they try to

743
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 15: take advantage of the pressure sometimes when they bring more

744
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 15: guys than we can block, hoping the rush hits home

745
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 15: before you know the coverage breaks now. So I think

746
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 15: that the difference is basically the coaches tendency that he

747
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 15: likes the blitz a lot and looking forward to that

748
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 15: on Sunday and we just got to handle the blitz well.

749
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 9: K you mentioned you've gone against Jalen Ramsey a number

750
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 9: of times. Can talk about what that matchup rings.

751
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 15: I mean with any corner, Uh, whenever you got a

752
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 15: dB and a receiver going against each other, it always,

753
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 15: you know, brings out the best competition in my opinion,

754
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 15: especially going against a great corner like that. But I've

755
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 15: had a good chance to go against two good corners

756
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 15: and Gonzales and certain in the first two weeks, but uh,

757
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 15: looking forward to another battle. Nothing different. Still football at

758
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 15: the end of the day, DK, these first.

759
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 18: Two weeks, you guys, it's been close games that you

760
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 18: finally play, you have to make to win the game.

761
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 12: What does that do for a team? What does that

762
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 12: say about the team that when it's coming down to.

763
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 10: You and you guys have found a way.

764
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 15: I think it's just NFL. Mike put up a stat

765
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 15: that said ten out of the first sixteen games finished

766
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 15: in one score games in the fourth quarter, and then

767
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 15: last week it was either twelve out of sixteen or

768
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 15: thirteen out of sixteen. So it's just the nature of

769
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 15: the game. Uh, you're not gonna win every game by blowout,

770
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 15: so you gotta learn how to close out and you know,

771
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 15: win it matters.

772
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 22: D K imagine you felt it was gonna come to

773
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 22: some point for him anyway, But to see Jackson have

774
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 22: the numbers he did in the game, it.

775
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 10: Was like, is that good for you guys to see

776
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 10: him finally.

777
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 6: Have a breakout like that.

778
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 15: I don't think it was good. I think it's bad

779
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 15: for the defenses that try to cover us from here

780
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 15: on out because you got locked me Jackson. You still

781
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 15: haven't seen Noah, you saw Ken week one, Zach Starvan,

782
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 15: they still has to break out. So I think, you know,

783
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 15: it's just a taking time to time bomb for all

784
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 15: of our stars on offense just to you know, have

785
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 15: their game.

786
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 14: I don't know when you watch film how much you

787
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 14: look at the offensive line play, But what if you do,

788
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 14: how much does Charles Cross stood out to you this year?

789
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 15: I haven't seen his name on the little comments section, uh,

790
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 15: and when I'm watching films, So I think that's that's

791
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 15: a good thing in my book, Yes, sir, But I

792
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 15: mean you don't hear his name much. You don't you know,

793
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 15: see much from the offensive line. But I think they've

794
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 15: played their butts off these first two weeks as an offense.

795
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 15: As a whole, we got to execute better and you know,

796
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 15: help them out with running quicker routes. But at the

797
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 15: end of the day, offenses, the offensive line is one

798
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 15: of the toughest positions to play because you got a

799
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 15: lot of beats on the defensive line. But I think

800
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 15: hats off to our whole hole line, you know, forgiving

801
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 15: us time to score as many points as we did.

802
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 12: From his personality as it's come out in the last

803
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 12: couple of.

804
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 15: Years, Charles, you don't got one him and durry Nah,

805
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 15: you don't don't expect many words from now.

806
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 7: Yeah mentioned the the week with matchups for the quarterbacks

807
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 7: in terms of Cirtaan and Gonzales and there's never a

808
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 7: week offer you.

809
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 19: How would you describe your makeup in terms of embracing

810
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 19: the fact that every week there's gonna be their number

811
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 19: one guy?

812
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 10: And have you always been that way in terms of

813
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 10: sort of embracing that challenge?

814
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 23: Uh?

815
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 15: I really don't look too much into the matchup.

816
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 21: Uh.

817
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 15: I study every dB or every defense, Uh the same.

818
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 15: But UH, at the end of the day, the way

819
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 15: I looked at look at it is UH on Sunday,

820
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 15: they have to guard me and I don't have to

821
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 15: go against uh, you know pretty much anybody. I feel

822
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 15: like my mindset is, uh, you know, they got to

823
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 15: stop me or stop the stop our offense. Uh, you

824
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 15: know before they you know, distract us or disrupt any

825
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 15: of what we have going on.

826
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 18: A lot about Gino's kind of underrated, but can you

827
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 18: just talk about his belie stand downfield and then distribute

828
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 18: the ball to the different receivers you just talked about.

829
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 15: Now, y'all have been calling this man underrated for three years,

830
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 15: and when is it gonna stop? I know you just

831
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 15: said it, But he's not underrated by any means. He's

832
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 15: an NFL quarterback just like thirty one other NFL quarterbacks.

833
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 15: I don't think the underrated title should be used anymore.

834
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 15: I mean, he's very successful in what he does. He's

835
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 15: you know, led us to one playoff appearance and should

836
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 15: have been in the playoffs last year. But you know,

837
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 15: we just got to play better as a team, do

838
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 15: better for him on offense. But you know, his preparation,

839
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 15: his approach to the game has always been the same.

840
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 10: Clean up.

841
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 18: Is Gino Smith one of the best leaders in the

842
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 18: NFL at quarterback?

843
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 6: Yes?

844
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 15: In my opinion, Yes, he's a great leader at quarterback

845
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 15: and great at what he does at the quarterback position.

846
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 17: Is there anything you feel like he's gotten better at

847
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 17: or is it just kind of a continuation of kind

848
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 17: of what.

849
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 15: He's I think just seeing him from a peer leadership standpoint.

850
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 15: At the standpoint, you know, we've both got here at

851
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 15: the same time, been together for six years and just

852
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 15: seeing him go from a backup to a starter. I

853
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 15: think it just crazy because you know, you go from

854
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 15: Russell Wilson to Gino Smith and there's really no drop

855
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 15: off in play. They both execute at a high level.

856
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 15: Both can have the ability to extend plays and lead

857
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 15: a huddle and lead their team to victory, as you

858
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 15: know both of them. Michelle k there's.

859
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 9: A couple of catches I'm guessing you would have liked

860
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 9: to have in that game, but then you were key

861
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 9: on the drive to tie the game and key on

862
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 9: the drive to win as well as the big touchdown.

863
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 9: Can you talk about like the mental fortune it takes

864
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 9: to kind of go to the next play after a

865
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 9: drop or.

866
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 10: Something like that.

867
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 15: Oh you just said it, Just go to the next play.

868
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 15: You can't crow over spill milk is I think an

869
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 15: old saying. But yeah, you got to forget about it

870
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 15: and just move on because you know the next play

871
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 15: the ball may find you and you know you can't

872
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 15: be thinking about the last player or a previous drop.

873
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 9: You feel like you're the same in that capacity is

874
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 9: when you came into the league or have you.

875
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 15: Grown in that No, I've definitely grown in that aspect.

876
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 15: I don't think I'm the same person or football player

877
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 15: as you know from our rookie year.

878
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 12: Do you just play defenses are bluffing a lot more?

879
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 15: I think so, yes, because you have to disguise it

880
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 15: just by how good the quarterbacks are. The quarterback playing,

881
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 15: you know, recognizing pressure or recognizing defense and their ability

882
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 15: to uh see a blitz and then throw right behind

883
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 15: the blitz to where it kind of scares the defense

884
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 15: out of blitzing again and makes them sit back and coverage.

885
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 15: And that's when you try to run the ball.

886
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 10: And what challenges from a receiver perspective. Does a defense

887
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 10: that bluffs.

888
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 15: A lot and we put on you guys, we can't

889
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 15: do anything but run our routes and if the ball

890
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 15: finds us, it finds us. If it doesn't, then you

891
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 15: know we got to go back to the sideline game

892
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 15: plan better and you know, execute better than the next drive.

893
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: All right. That was DK Metcalf coming up next, going

894
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 2: in the trenches with Ray Roberts.

895
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: This is the huddle every Thursday from Mune to Chu.

896
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: The huddle.

897
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bompus,

898
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: and Stacy Ross and joining us now, Ray Roberts, as

899
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: we go in the trenches. Ray, how's it going, Sona?

900
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 21: How about you guys?

901
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: Good too? And oh a great way to start this season.

902
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: One of a handful of teams who have the opportunity

903
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: to say so. However, that is not without our notes

904
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 2: on this offensive line from week two. So that's where

905
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 2: we'll start.

906
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Ray.

907
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: I remember asking you in week one, Hey, what were

908
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: your takeaways about, you know, some of the play on

909
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: this offensive line, particularly at guard. What did you see

910
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: in week two at the same spots?

911
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 21: You know what I saw like some of the same

912
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 21: kind of inconsistencies. You know, they obviously did some things

913
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 21: well and that that comes with being inconsistent, but there

914
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 21: were some things that you just want to see them

915
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 21: do better. And I think, you know, one of the

916
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 21: things that's really surprising is that the attention of detail

917
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 21: that Huff coaches and then some of the lack of

918
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 21: the attention of detail that you've seen from the particularly

919
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 21: from the two guard spots. There's there's stunts and things

920
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 21: that are happening that like say Tomlinson that he's been

921
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 21: in the lead long enough he should be able to

922
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 21: pick those upganize them. Right away and not be defeated

923
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 21: by them. And you have Bradford on the other side,

924
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 21: who you know, one play dumps it down in his

925
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 21: back and then the next play totally wists on the player.

926
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 21: So it's really hard to be good when you're that

927
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 21: volatile and in your play, when it's so inconsistent that way,

928
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 21: And so I just didn't to me, Stacey, it looks like,

929
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 21: and I've told this story before, it looks like each

930
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 21: player is just concerned about what each player is doing,

931
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 21: like they're just they're surviving the play versus playing as

932
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 21: one unit. And when that happens, you just kind of

933
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 21: get locked in on your assignment. You're not really like,

934
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 21: you're not really locked into how everybody working together makes

935
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 21: the play work. And so part of that is these

936
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 21: dudes just haven't had a whole lot of reps together.

937
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 21: And part of it is the show's trying to figure

938
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 21: out what's the best combination and what's the best play

939
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 21: calls in the run game, like what they're good at

940
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 21: and what they're not so good at. So it's still

941
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 21: kind of in a fill out stage even though we're

942
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 21: two games into the season.

943
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 5: Ray, Uh, do you do you think that they're getting

944
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 5: close to. You know, we saw Jalen Sundel come up

945
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 5: and I'm not sure how much you've seen from him,

946
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 5: And then same thing with Christian Haynes. Could you see

947
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 5: based on what you're what you just described, guys like

948
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: Christian Haynes or maybe Jalen Sundell getting a chance to

949
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 5: to maybe start get some reps and and working.

950
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,959
Speaker 21: In well, I think you know it's at this point.

951
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 21: I don't know if you want to try to rotate

952
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 21: in like four guards, but I do think of the

953
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 21: three that Thomason, Haynes and Bradford, if two of them

954
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 21: can just play with some consistency, uh, then I think

955
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 21: those are the two you go with. And I think

956
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 21: in the pre preseason that was one game where Haynes

957
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 21: was at left guard and Bradford was at right guard

958
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 21: and it looked good and uh, and so I wouldn't

959
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 21: be surprised if they mixed it up like that. I

960
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 21: think with Sundel, I think he's there for more like

961
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 21: of an injury kind of a thing, like if something

962
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 21: happens at center or guard, he's versut to go in.

963
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 21: I think that's probably why he was active and Olu

964
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 21: wasn't because Olu's more just a guard and not much

965
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 21: of a I mean, Justice Center, not much of a guard.

966
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 21: But I think Connor Williams is you know, you can

967
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,959
Speaker 21: see he hasn't played in a while and he's coming

968
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 21: back from entry, so it's for him. I think it's

969
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 21: just a matter of just knocking the rust off and

970
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 21: getting back in the groove.

971
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 3: Ray And it's been like a lot of negative talk

972
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 3: about the old line, right, but there's a positive You've

973
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: played the way you've played and you're too and no,

974
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 3: like you got to walk into that film room and

975
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 3: feel good about the accomplishment. Also need to work on

976
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: things like what is that? What is that like when

977
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: you feel like you've kind of gotten away with some play,

978
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: you haven't played your best, but you're still too and

979
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 3: one yeah.

980
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 21: You know, I think you know Mike and this situation

981
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 21: with a new staff, a new approach, a new program,

982
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 21: a new offense, you know, new players, all this other

983
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 21: kind of stuff. At this point of the season, it's

984
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 21: kind of like NCAA tournament where you've just got to

985
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 21: survive in advance, and then as you're advancing, you're hoping

986
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 21: that you can start to fix some of those some

987
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 21: of those little things. If we're, like, you know, five

988
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 21: games into it and we still haven't figured out who

989
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 21: the offensive line is and they're still playing this way,

990
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 21: then I would be a little bit concerned because it

991
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 21: seems like some of those things aren't being corrected. And uh.

992
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 21: And then also, you know, I believe that you know,

993
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 21: you can learn just as much in victory as you

994
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 21: do defeat if you're intentional about learning and uh, and

995
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 21: you're open to to finding out things that you can

996
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 21: improve on. A lot of people think that, you know,

997
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 21: you learn the most when you lose, but that's only

998
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 21: because you're just more intentional about trying to figure out

999
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 21: what went wrong and uh. And so I think they

1000
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 21: can do that, you know, with this team, I think

1001
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 21: coach McDonald's approach to it, uh, just his attention to

1002
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 21: the detail and how intense he is about it. I

1003
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 21: think that they have players that can get the job done.

1004
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 21: It's just a matter of like trying to figure out

1005
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 21: what it is that's keeping them from getting it done.

1006
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 21: And uh, I know that coaching on the right thing.

1007
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 6: I love.

1008
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 21: I love the way huff pays attention to the details.

1009
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 21: I love how pys they're trying to play and now

1010
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 21: it's just a matter of realizing that in actual game situation.

1011
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 2: Now, I don't want to jump the gun that just

1012
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 2: because they have a two and zero start, the Seahawks

1013
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: are suddenly one of the best teams in football. I

1014
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: know that they have their stuff to iron out, but

1015
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: ray I saw a power ranking that had the Seahawks

1016
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 2: at twenty one. That is behind the Bears, behind some

1017
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 2: struggling teams, behind some zero to two teams, and I'm

1018
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: not including the Ravens there who are zero in two.

1019
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: But I think obviously a very talented team. Do you

1020
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: think that's a little low twenty one for Seattle after

1021
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: two weeks?

1022
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 21: Yeah, I do. I think it's hard, I think for

1023
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 21: people to buy into this team just because they look

1024
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 21: at you know, we have some big time players, but

1025
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 21: they look into the newness of things. They look at

1026
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 21: maybe some of the struggles that we're having, and they

1027
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 21: kind of amplify those more than what they amplify the positives.

1028
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 21: When we look at what Gino is doing, how jalls

1029
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 21: Cross is planned, the game that the receivers just had,

1030
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 21: the way the defensive backs are covering, the pressure rates

1031
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 21: that we have the sacks that we that we're starting

1032
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 21: to accumulate. It's really hard to think of our team

1033
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 21: as uh, you being that low. And that's that's why,

1034
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 21: like I don't some of those rings that have no

1035
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 21: idea how what criteria goes into ranking those teams and

1036
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 21: all that kind of stuff. So I don't really buy

1037
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 21: into it. But I think, like Mike was saying too,

1038
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 21: is like at the end of the day, you walk

1039
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 21: into the building, you're to and O, and so whether

1040
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 21: or not there's things to fix or not, you have

1041
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 21: to feel like, yeah, we're that team as a team.

1042
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 21: You have to feel that way walking in. And I

1043
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 21: feel like there's players on this team that have that

1044
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 21: type of mentality and so just a matter of them

1045
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 21: just fixing those little things and uh, and you know,

1046
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 21: making some of these wins a little less stressful for

1047
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,280
Speaker 21: our for US fans.

1048
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 6: Hey Ray uh.

1049
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 5: As far as on the defensive side, you know, there

1050
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 5: was a couple of situations where I thought, you know,

1051
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 5: maybe the D line can help out a little bit

1052
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 5: with the linebackers and keep the linebackers clean.

1053
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 6: I think you you've texted me or or I heard.

1054
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 5: You say something about that kind of expound on what

1055
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 5: you what you saw there as far as our d

1056
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 5: line and the linebackers against the run.

1057
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 21: Yeah, so like in the first game, you know, we

1058
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 21: talked about how connected the defense was that you know,

1059
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 21: like they were kind of playing on a string kind

1060
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 21: of a thing. People were being married to their assignment.

1061
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 21: If you're supposed to be in the sea gap, they're

1062
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 21: in the sea gap, they're supposed to be in the

1063
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 21: B gap or in the B gap. But I think

1064
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 21: in this game, people wanted to make plays, and I

1065
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 21: think the defensive line was hungry to make plays, was

1066
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 21: hungry to kind of prove themselves. So then they kind

1067
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 21: of lost some of that gap integrity, so to speak.

1068
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 21: And so when I watched the film, on most of

1069
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 21: the runs that were you know, four yards of more

1070
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 21: positive runs met those guards were getting free release up

1071
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 21: to those linebackers. And these linebackers are not big thumpers

1072
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 21: where they're six four and two hundred and fifty pounds

1073
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 21: and can just you know, then you butt up a

1074
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:56,959
Speaker 21: guard and shed them.

1075
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 6: And make the tack to Patriot linebackers.

1076
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 21: So that so that's that's gonna be really hard to do.

1077
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 21: So they can't you know, they have to find a

1078
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 21: way to stay married to what the philosophy of this

1079
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 21: defense where you you own and dominate your job so

1080
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 21: that the guy besides you can own and dominate his job.

1081
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 21: And then I think you'll start to see that that

1082
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 21: that defense we saw in the first team, I mean

1083
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 21: the first game again, it was just there were just

1084
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 21: too many There were sometimes where there was just a

1085
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 21: free run for a three hundred pound lineman to these

1086
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 21: smaller and statue linebackers. They're probably gonna lose those most

1087
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 21: of the time. And uh, you know, even one of

1088
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 21: the linebackers try to do a three sixty spin to

1089
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 21: get off of one of them, Like that ain't gonna work,

1090
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 21: you know. So so I do think they have to

1091
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 21: get back to just being real stingy with how they

1092
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 21: go about doing their jobs and and not that they're

1093
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 21: you know, being uh. I don't want to say they

1094
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 21: have been reckless or anything like that. I just think

1095
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 21: it was just the enthusiasm of having a good first

1096
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 21: outing and then trying to like add on that in

1097
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 21: the second outing. Like there's a lot of defense alimn

1098
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 21: that had good metrics after that first game, but they

1099
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 21: didn't have the actual numbers and tackles, sacks and that

1100
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 21: kind of thing. So I think they were trying to

1101
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 21: get to those finishes so they can get those you know,

1102
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 21: have that type of impact, and it kind of impacted

1103
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 21: the philosophy of the defense.

1104
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: He's one of our favorite voices and yours. It's Big

1119
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 19: Everybody always asked me what do they look like? And

1120
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 19: I said, well, okay, let me describe them to you.

1121
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 19: And so there you go.

1122
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 2: What do you say?

1123
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 19: I said that all I say, they're all lovely people

1124
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 19: and Dave is kind of the old guy in the bunch.

1125
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 6: That's what I said.

1126
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 2: Wonderful.

1127
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 6: That's right.

1128
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 2: We are going to take a look ahead to the Dolphins,

1129
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 2: but I wanted to start by a look back at

1130
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 2: week two. I found that bump and I and I'm

1131
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: sure Dave on his show afterwards. We're talking a lot

1132
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: about Gino, about this passing game, but particularly about Geno

1133
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 2: Smith on Monday. It was a stellar game from.

1134
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 6: Him, exactly what you guys saw.

1135
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 19: His ability to kind of dissect and to stay there

1136
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 19: where he needs to be till he can make that

1137
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 19: throw any if not then he just he has that

1138
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 19: sense about him. Now we just today is obviously press

1139
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 19: conference day, and while we don't talk to Gino, we

1140
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 19: talked to the other guys and so you ask DK,

1141
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 19: you ask coach, and they all kind of say the

1142
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 19: same thing. I mean, first of all, they're all talking

1143
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 19: about his leadership. And that doesn't just mean that he

1144
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 19: rallies the guys and says, okay, follow me to the fight.

1145
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 19: You know, he's not carrying a flag or something like that.

1146
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 19: What it means is he's getting everybody into and out

1147
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 19: of the huddle up to the line.

1148
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 6: We got to do this.

1149
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 19: We've got a certain amount of time to get it done.

1150
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 19: Here's the play called blah blah blah. He's just doing

1151
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 19: all that really well. And then you know he's just

1152
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 19: been so accurate in throwing the football.

1153
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 6: What do he had five drops last week?

1154
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 19: I mean his number would have been probably one forty

1155
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 19: five or something like that. As it was, it was

1156
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 19: still over one hundred his quarterback rating. So I just

1157
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 19: think he's doing just about everything right. He's not taking

1158
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 19: the sacks, getting.

1159
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 6: The ball out of his hands.

1160
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 19: The one play where he started to roll. I still

1161
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 19: haven't figured this one out where he started.

1162
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: To roll to the right, stops pivots.

1163
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 19: Comes back to the left and yes and throws back

1164
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 19: to Tyler on the near sidelines. It was almost so

1165
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 19: good that it had to be drawn up that way,

1166
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 19: but I don't think it was.

1167
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 6: Well. That was what we talked to Grub about out

1168
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 6: by the buses. Yeah, I asked him. I'm like, was

1169
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 6: that I designed by any chance?

1170
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 5: And he's like, oh god no, But I mean the

1171
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 5: way those two guys both at the same time. Other

1172
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 5: thanks Steve with him. First of all, he's if you're

1173
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 5: over seventy percent completion percentage. I mean that's just unheard of. Yeah,

1174
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 5: especially for the season, and I know it's only two games,

1175
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 5: but also he just looks faster to me, and his

1176
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 5: leadership is incredible, and yeah, I just I mean, there

1177
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 5: was that all that talk last year about how, well,

1178
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 5: maybe he's taken a step back or whatever. I didn't

1179
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 5: think it was that bad, and then now all of

1180
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 5: a sudden, it seems like he's really answering the belt.

1181
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 19: Well, all you gotta do is look at what is

1182
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 19: a quarterback supposed to do. Yeah, you want him to

1183
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 19: complete passes, you want all that kind of stuff, but

1184
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 19: you want him to help you win football games. That's

1185
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 19: the key. And so when you look, and especially in

1186
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 19: close situations, I think there's if there may be one

1187
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 19: or nobody who's better in the last in total over

1188
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 19: the last three years at fourth quarter or overtime wins

1189
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 19: than Gino Smith. That means he's finding a way, after

1190
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 19: all of the difficulties throughout the course of a game,

1191
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 19: he's finding a way at the end to win a

1192
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 19: football game.

1193
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 6: That's really what you want out of.

1194
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,479
Speaker 19: Your quarterback, and he's doing that better than just about

1195
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 19: anybody in the league.

1196
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 6: So no matter. Now.

1197
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 19: Obviously, if you fall too far behind, it's going to

1198
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 19: be impossible. But I really like our chances. Every time

1199
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 19: he goes under.

1200
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: Center, raves UH teams will lose football games.

1201
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 4: And I don't think we'll see another undefeated team. I

1202
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 4: just I just don't think.

1203
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 6: I don't think so either.

1204
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: But these guys have a chance to start off three

1205
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: and oh, and I'll ask Stacey to start the show.

1206
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 4: I go three and oh, Like, do you believe it?

1207
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 3: Like when you see this three and oh, you play

1208
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: bow Knicks at first week, you get by New England,

1209
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 3: the second week, you're playing Skyler Thompson and the Dolphins

1210
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 3: this week. As a player, you gotta you gotta drink

1211
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 3: the kool aid. But like, what do you think of

1212
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 3: the same if they are to start three and oh, well.

1213
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 19: I think that that means they surprised everybody outside this

1214
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 19: building and surprise nobody inside the building. That's that's kind

1215
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 19: of my take on it. These guys, they you know,

1216
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 19: as you know, all you guys know, uh and Stace

1217
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 19: even with you know, your your swim team or.

1218
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 6: You yeah, there you go.

1219
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 19: You have to believe you're going to go out there

1220
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 19: and win every week and uh and and at the

1221
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 19: start of the season. So I think that that going

1222
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 19: three and oh did I see a stat that said

1223
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 19: if they go three and oh, it's only happened like

1224
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 19: eight times in the franchise? Was that a stat I saw?

1225
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, So I think it's actually.

1226
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 19: In the in this week's media BA Guide, which is

1227
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 19: where I which I probably saw it.

1228
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 4: Uh.

1229
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 19: And then I tend to, you know, lose focus and

1230
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,479
Speaker 19: things kind of go.

1231
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 6: Off into this.

1232
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 19: I might have, I might have, as you know, whatever

1233
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 19: works at that moment, I'm going to say it. And

1234
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 19: whether it's true or not, that's a lot of like

1235
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 19: what some political leaders do. But anyway, I I yes,

1236
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 19: I think three and o is is would be just

1237
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 19: would be just great. But again just remember too, yes

1238
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 19: we're not playing against Tua, but they still got an

1239
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 19: Olympic track team surrounding him. I don't know that I've

1240
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 19: ever seen as much speed anywhere across the board receivers

1241
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 19: running backs as we.

1242
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 6: See on the Dolphins.

1243
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 19: So Skyler Thompson, that's his name, right, Skyler Thompson. Yeah,

1244
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 19: all you got to do is is throw the ball

1245
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 19: up there, throw it as far as you can, because

1246
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 19: you got to cheat at here on one side who

1247
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 19: can run under anything, So it's not going to be

1248
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 19: an easy easy dude.

1249
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: You are going to have a third conversation with Mike

1250
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 2: McDonald for the Mike McDonald Preview. It'll air on Friday.

1251
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 2: Obviously you've had many conversations with McDonald prior to starting

1252
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 2: this series for the season, But are you learning more

1253
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 2: about him as you have these conversations and even kind

1254
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 2: of we're three weeks in now, what stands out about him?

1255
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 19: Yeah, every time I get a chance to just sit

1256
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 19: down kind of one on one and talk to him, yes,

1257
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 19: I feel like I learned something, and I feel like

1258
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 19: he also gets more comfortable with me. I mean, let's

1259
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 19: face it, you know, I'm this knucklehead that came out

1260
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 19: of you know, from the nineteen seventies that suddenly appears

1261
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 19: before him and is asking him a bunch of questions.

1262
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 19: And like we've talked about, what I try to do

1263
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 19: on that interview for Friday morning is is to Yeah,

1264
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,439
Speaker 19: I don't want to get so much so deep into

1265
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 19: the weeds on x'es and o's, and I want to

1266
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 19: kind of broaden the question out and I can you

1267
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 19: know a couple of them I can think of already,

1268
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 19: but talk about the leadership qualities of Geno and how

1269
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 19: important that is to a football team. I mean, it's

1270
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 19: one thing to have your coach is the guy who's

1271
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 19: standing up there at the podium, But that coach isn't

1272
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 19: on the field with you. You know, that coach isn't

1273
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 19: in the huddle. It's the guys on the field who

1274
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 19: do it. And so who were those leaders? And I

1275
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 19: think Dotson now has kind of proven that Julian certainly

1276
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 19: on defense and obviously Geno, but the importance of that,

1277
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 19: and especially to a young coach, how much does that

1278
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 19: mean to have that guy in there. So I really

1279
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 19: appreciate him, and he's he's very thoughtful, you know, he talks.

1280
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 19: He makes fun of himself sometimes about not being very

1281
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 19: a very interesting interview, but I think he wants to be.

1282
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 19: He wants to be a person. A few words, but

1283
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 19: those words he wants to count. That's how he talks

1284
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 19: to his team, and that's how he talks to us.

1285
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 2: Very authentic. The interviews are fantastic and you feel like

1286
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: he's answering sincerely, authentically.

1287
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 19: Oh you know, and we have a chance before we

1288
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 19: actually kind of roll on it to kind of loosen

1289
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 19: up and you know, how did things go and what's

1290
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 19: going on? And I'm gonna here's one thing I need

1291
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 19: to know today and that kind of thing. So he's

1292
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 19: he's really even if he does, even if he doesn't

1293
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 19: much want to do it. And because let's face it,

1294
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 19: you know, the Seahawk pr department run here, They ask

1295
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 19: him to do a lot of stuff, and I don't

1296
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 19: think he maybe even realized that as a head coach,

1297
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 19: there's so much of that that you have to do

1298
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 19: and you know, answer questions from you know.

1299

00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 9: off season.

1357
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,760

Speaker 10: of this year.

00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,440

1360
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 23: you know, just working on my flexibility and being able

1361
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 23: to move in in awkward positions.

1362
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 12: When you look at what the run givings in the

1363
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 12: last couple of weeks.

1364
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 16: Look, you knew that New England wanted to sell out

1365
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 16: to stop the run, But how would you evaluate it

1366
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 16: just kind of overall with either lanes that are there

1367
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 16: or the types.

1368
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 12: Of runs that have been caused.

1369
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 23: I would just have to be better as a as

1370
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 23: a group and get the runs going. Just continue to

1371
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 23: see everything through one leans and communicate to you know,

1372
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 23: get the job there.

1373
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 14: At the end of the day, where do you feel

1374
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 14: like you've grown the most as a player?

1375
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 23: From I say, I I've grown my overall games just

1376
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 23: you know, improvement to get better in the run game

1377
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 23: and past game, and you know, just so I'm trying

01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 23: Or teams that he's been on y'all have He's you know,

1389
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 23: he's been on a couple of different teams. So just

1390
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 23: tryna learn from him, see what he knows and and

1391
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 23: see how I can use there to help to help me.

1392
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 12: Does he ever smile?

1393
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1394
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 4: Of course?

1395
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 10: From on the film this week?

1396
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 14: How much does what Miami does defensively look like what

1397
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 14: you're seeing in practice?

1398
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 6: They have a lot of SI.

1399
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 23: It's a lot of similarities between the defense just from

1400
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 23: the DC, you know, being with Mike and and Baltimore,

1401
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 23: and I feel like it's gonna be a a good,

1402
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 23: good chinness for us, a good game for us this week.

1403
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 10: What are the politics classes or what were the polates classes?

1404
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 6: Like?

1405
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 23: Well, it was mostly just stretching in core, just trying

1406
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 23: to get my core right and being flexible.

1407
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 5: So were you just like showing up to a studio

1408
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:04,840

1409
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 5: least like private?

1410
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 4: It was more private?

1411
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 9: Okay, Charles, you came into the league with Abe Lucas

1412
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 9: and he's obviously, uh.

1413
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 10: Working back from injury.

1414
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 9: Uh you how much do you talk to him and

1415
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 9: keep him his head kind of in the game.

1416
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,040

1420
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 23: excited for him when he does get back.

1421
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:28,640

01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:29,720

01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 23: in the work to be able to come back and play.

1425
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 12: Which offensive line? Then have you taken under your wing?

1426
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 23: I wouldn't say just one specific, just just being being

1427
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 23: together as a whole group. You know, as a offensive line,

1428
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 23: everyone has to be together.

1429
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 12: She had a lot of young guys in there. You

1430
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 12: got a lot of rookies.

1431
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 16: What's the what's the piece of advice or what were

1432
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 16: you told as a rookie that you know makes the

1433
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 16: biggest difference?

1434
01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 6: Oh?

1435
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 23: Just I say just pripple, just being a pro, being ready,

1436
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 23: knowing your job and being able to execute.

1437
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 14: Which does Gina's leadership show up in those late game

1438
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 14: situations when you're driving the tide of game and over time.

1439
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 6: You know he's a great leader man.

1440
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 23: Just the belief he has, the way he prepares, he

1441
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 23: does everything in the right way, and he bring guys

1442
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 23: along with him.

1443
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 22: Charles, what have you made of your first two games?

1444
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 22: Just in general and the way you you've played? A

1445
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 22: lot of people have graded you pretty highly. Do the

1446
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 22: first two weeks. But how do you feel it?

1447
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 23: I feel like I can alwa get better, Like I'm

1448
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 23: not conplacing where I'm at, Like I just wanna continue

1449
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 23: to grow and get better from week to week.

1450
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 2: What do you think is contributed to that? Is that

1451
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: a mindset or was that things that you specifically worked on,

1452
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 2: like during the off season.

1453
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 23: I'd say accommodation of both. Just just just going from

1454
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 23: like the offseason, like just trusting my training from there

1455
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 23: and putting it to now. Just come in each week

1456
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 23: being prepared, being ready to pl being ready to play,

1457
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 23: and just trying to do that consistently. Y, you.

1458
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 17: Had that total injury last year too early in the year.

1459
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 17: I mean it is I mean obviously is it better

1460
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 17: not having that? I mean last year that had to

1461
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 17: have impacted you, right.

1462
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's definitely better not not having any injuries. Knock

1463
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 23: on wood.

1464
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 10: That lack of complacency inside the locker room? How much

1465
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 10: do you notice that right now?

1466
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 18: Because you guys are chewing out A lot of teams

1467
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 18: could maybe become complacent after winning the first two game

1468
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 18: going in to.

1469
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 10: A third game.

1470
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 23: Oh, my flight, I feel like we're not a complacent team.

1471
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 23: We just wanna get continue to get better and better

1472
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 23: each week. Obviously one of our first two games, but

1473
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 23: we're gonna continue to stack in, grow and get better

1474
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 23: from week to week.

1475
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 14: What has been the coaching playing from Grubb and maybe

1476
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 14: Scott help about getting the run game going this week?

1477
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 23: Just being on the same page, being physical at the

1478
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 23: point of attach and and everyone's just doing their job.

1479
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 9: Charlge, you came into the league with a reputation is

1480
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 9: a great pass blockers and questions as a run blocker.

1481
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 9: Talk about the mentality it's taken to improve as a

1482
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 9: run blocker.

1483
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 23: It's definitely had had had had to be man a

1484
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 23: mindset for me, just wanted wanted to get better, wanted

1485
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 23: to run the ball, and just working working on giving

1486
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 23: my technique and my footwork right.

1487
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 16: What from the technique standpoint, how much differently are those

1488
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 16: teaching points this year with the new coaching staff and

1489
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 16: maybe some new things that have been introduced the previous

1490
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 16: it compared to.

1491
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 12: The previous couple of years.

1492
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 23: Oh, I feel like it was just I feel like

1493
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 23: personally for me, like it was just more technical, just

1494
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 23: getting that muscle memory down, seeing the looks and and

1495
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 23: knowing which footwork to take and being fishing at.

1496
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 10: It his games, do you admire uh left tackle that

1497
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 10: that you might have a model after?

1498
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 23: It's a few guys. I like Ton Soul, I like

1499
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 23: Toron Smith, Trent. I'm probably missing a few guys, but

1500
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 23: it was probably like just the top three off the

1501
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:50,439
Speaker 23: top of my head.

1502
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 10: What do you like about their games?

1503
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 23: Their their physical they have great footwork and they're efficient.

1504
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 10: Have you ever talked much to Walter Jones at all?

1505
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 6: Or is you come around? Yeah? I do, I do.

1506
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 23: I actually watched watsingon zones tape when I first got here,

1507
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 23: and like some of the stuff he he did, it

1508
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 23: was like it was like one of one, like only

1509
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 23: he can do this stuff, So I can't. I feel

1510
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 23: like I can't really take too much from his game.

1511
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 2: I really appreciate Charles Cross answering honestly, there Bump saying, yeah,

1512
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 2: it's really helpful to talk to Walter, but I can

1513
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 2: only take so much. It's like if Beyonce was trying

1514
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 2: to tell me how to sing. I'm like, girl, thank you.

1515
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool, that's cool. You gotta know who you

1516
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 3: are and what you bring.

1517
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 2: You know what I am. Yeah, that being said, Charles

1518
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 2: Cross still a first round pick, and Dave you pointed

1519
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: it out. You know, we were kind of talking in

1520
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 2: the break with Ravees has had a pretty solid start

1521
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 2: to the season, and I know we've been collectively at

1522
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,479
Speaker 2: times critical about the offensive line, and look, this team

1523
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 2: is not hitting its ceiling. All these offensive weapons are

1524
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 2: not hitting their ceiling unless this offensive learn line gets right.

1525
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 2: But you've liked what you've seen from him, Yeah.

1526
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 6: Charles Cross.

1527
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 5: And then the other thing what we heard from Ryan

1528
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 5: Grubb during the preseason we're in Tennessee.

1529
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 6: He was talking about.

1530
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 5: What a great leader he is and what a good

1531
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 5: dude he is and a good player, and that he's

1532
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 5: definitely taken that step. Like I felt like he kind

1533
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 5: of needed to grab that job by the throat and

1534
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 5: like make it his and be kind of the leader,

1535
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 5: you know, kind of like uh, kind of like Walter Jones.

1536
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 5: And I think it's funny like guys like Walter Jones

1537
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 5: and like John Elway they can't coach because.

1538
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 4: They can't tell you they're too good.

1539
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 6: I just did it.

1540
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 5: I think Tyler Lockett's that way, you know, Yeah, ask

1541
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 5: him like he's like, I don't know, I just got

1542
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 5: open yeah, you know so, But yeah, it's good hearing

1543
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 5: from him. I think he's a great leader. True, would

1544
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 5: be nice to have his you know, his running mate

1545
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 5: Lucas back, because you know, I thought I thought he

1546
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 5: was the best lineman you know, that year when he

1547
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 5: was a rookie. But I think offensive line is very

1548
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 5: very misunderstood position, you know, and a lot of times,

1549
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 5: like you'll one of the reasons we have ray On,

1550
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 5: you know, he'll talk about, well, where was the tight

1551
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 5: end on that he should have been blocking? Or you know,

1552
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 5: what about a chip from the running back, and you know,

1553
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 5: there's all kinds of different things that contribute to that.

1554
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it's a very misunderstood group just

1555
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 5: in general.

1556
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 6: But I think everybody sees how well he's playing.

1557
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, last one here, Bump. Have you been able

1558
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 2: to do much digging as part of your game prep

1559
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 2: into the defensive line for Miami or what the defense

1560
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: could present this offense in terms of challenges? What are

1561
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 2: we looking at?

1562
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 3: They are a active group, I would say, and I

1563
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 3: think that a group like ay have, they're going to

1564
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 3: look at the film and say we can get after

1565
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 3: this offensive line. So yeah, everyone, everyone's a threat everyone's

1566
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 3: a threat.

1567
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: Let's find out if this team's going to get Ken

1568
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 2: Walker back, maybe some good injury news. John Boyle is

1569
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 2: going to join us next.

1570
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 8: This This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to

1571
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 8: two on Seattle Sports.

1572
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 2: It is the Huddle with Dave Woyman, Michael bumpas Stacy

1573
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: Ross and joining us right now, John Boyle, reporter for

1574
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 2: Eahawks dot Com. John, we are going to take a

1575
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 2: look ahead to Miami, but as we've done with each

1576
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 2: of our guests, we got to take just a couple

1577
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 2: of minutes to look back at a win over the Patriots, right.

1578
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if it was a horrible loss, I'd be like,

1579
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 2: let's move forward, move on. You got to move on,

1580
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 2: but always fun to look back when you've actually won.

1581
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 2: We've talked quite a bit about Gino. I wanted to

1582
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 2: kind of shift focus to what the defense has done

1583
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 2: through two weeks. The secondary especially has looked really stellar.

1584
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 2: I know early on they got beat a little bit

1585
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 2: by just a new England offense that was being really

1586
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: stubborn with what they were doing. But then you saw

1587
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: those names pop back up. Julian with a block punt

1588
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 2: and a couple of these guys making big plays. What

1589
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 2: have you seen from the defense through two weeks?

1590
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean past defense wise, they've they've been outstanding.

1591
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 14: Even when it was getting frustrated in the first half

1592
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:47,639
Speaker 14: or set was extending plays. He had a really good

1593
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 14: job avoiding the pass rush. Yeah, and he just kept

1594
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 14: hitting Hunter Henry. But even they you know, that's all

1595
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 14: they were giving up I think is what three catches

1596
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 14: by New England receivers in the whole game, and then

1597
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 14: they made some adjustments on the Henry stuff and he

1598
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 14: only had one catch in the second half. So to

1599
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 14: go through two games giving up was it. It's like

1600
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 14: two hundred and fifty some passing yards through two games.

1601
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 14: That's outstanding. Two hundred and fifty seven. That's great. Now,

1602
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 14: the flip side of that is you got run on

1603
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 14: last week one hundred and eighty five rushing yards, as

1604
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 14: Mike McDonald was quick to say, like, you can't have that,

1605
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 14: so that they got to clean up. But so encouraged

1606
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 14: by what we've been seeing both in terms of they're

1607
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 14: getting pressure. The sack numbers aren't crazy, but their pressure

1608
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 14: numbers are really good. Yeah, and then the guys on

1609
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 14: the back end have just been awesome.

1610
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 5: You know, we re kept the game on Monday and

1611
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 5: didn't even mention Julian Love's block field because there were

1612
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:35,879
Speaker 5: so many other things.

1613
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 15: But pretty important play.

1614
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1615
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 5: I mean the other thing you heard from him is

1616
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 5: that he said, I decided to rush on that side.

1617
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, he switched with I think as Rayshawn Jenkins kind

1618
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:46,960
Speaker 14: of last minute on a hunt.

1619
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 13: He's like, yeah, switch sides with me.

1620
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 6: That's amazing.

1621
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 5: The other thing is Drake Jones did a great job

1622
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 5: of sort of like occupying the end guy so he

1623
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 5: could jump over.

1624
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 6: He was holding it, but he.

1625
01:09:58,840 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 4: Comato to Mato.

1626
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't take it back exactly correct.

1627
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 5: So but yeah, I love that about Julian Love because

1628
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 5: I mean he has great numbers. You look at everything defensively.

1629
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 5: But he told us, you know, during the summer that

1630
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 5: when he was in New York and he couldn't get

1631
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 5: on the field, that he took a lot of pride

1632
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 5: in special.

1633
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 6: Team Yeah, special teams there.

1634
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was a captain there and everything, and

1635
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 5: it just I mean, it was just cool.

1636
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 6: I feel like that's kind of a throwaway play for

1637
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 6: a lot of players.

1638
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, all right, we're gonna rush it the

1639
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 5: timing is such that nothing it doesn't usually get blocked,

1640
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 5: and for him to I felt like that was a

1641
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 5: good example.

1642
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 6: Of chasing edges. Yeah, you know what great, Yeah, Mike

1643
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 6: McDonald's Yeah, for sure.

1644
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 14: I mean we've seen, you know, Riek Wallan's been really

1645
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 14: good off the edge. You had the block tiers ago

1646
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 14: in San Francisco and he he gets close a lot,

1647
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 14: and I remember, I think it was Pete Carroll made

1648
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 14: this point like when you get the guys coming off

1649
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 14: the edge that fast, it can rush the timing and

1650
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 14: it can affect a lot of other stuff. And Julian

1651
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 14: Love mentioned that too, like teams have to worry about

1652
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 14: how quick re he gets off the edge there, and

1653
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 14: that kind of gave him that little gap to slip

1654
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 14: through and make a heck of a play. I mean,

1655
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 14: game changing play of a sudden I just need to

1656
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:02,520
Speaker 14: go get a field goal instead.

1657
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:02,839
Speaker 6: Of a touchdown.

1658
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 3: We've seen the run game big going Week one two,

1659
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 3: receivers go for one hundred week two. It's a tight

1660
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 3: ends term. Now, man, I'm looking at the tight ends

1661
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 3: and in hoping they have a big game. That room

1662
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 3: had had a difficult week last week. What are the

1663
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:19,799
Speaker 3: vibes around those guys.

1664
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I.

1665
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 14: Think everybody's just sort of trying to do their part.

1666
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 14: And obviously, you know, if you're no fan, I'm sure

1667
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 14: you want the ball more than he's getting it and

1668
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 14: you want to get more involved.

1669
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:31,799
Speaker 15: But I feel like it goes back to the point.

1670
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,759
Speaker 14: That a lot of these guys have made throughout the offseason,

1671
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 14: training camp and all that, like they like the number

1672
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 14: of different weapons and the diversity of this offense. Of

1673
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 14: you can have the second half of that Denver game

1674
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 14: where ken Walker goes off, then last week you can't

1675
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 14: run the ball very well, so just throw it around

1676
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 14: and Gino throws for what was at three twenty seven

1677
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 14: and has the two hundred yard receivers. So I think

1678
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 14: it you know, you want to get to the point

1679
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 14: that you're kind of doing both better in one game,

1680
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 14: but it bides well for the offense.

1681
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 15: When you kind of lean on one or the other one.

1682
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's natural to look at an

1683
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 2: opponent that's going to be without it's starting quarterback and

1684
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: think that there's like a bite taken out right, that

1685
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 2: like there's an edge that they're just not going to have.

1686
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 2: And while that's fundamentally true. When you don't have your starter,

1687
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 2: you're dealing with your own obstacles. Miami is still going

1688
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: to pack a punch in what ways to you.

1689
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 14: Well, you just look at like, yeah, obviously it hurts

1690
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 14: to losers. Starting Receio first of all, Seahawks fans I

1691
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 14: think have been important hard enough by backup quarterbacks over

1692
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 14: the years.

1693
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 15: Coming into loom and Field year.

1694
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean there, I could name a lot of.

1695
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 6: Them, but we won't do that.

1696
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,719
Speaker 14: But when when you got Mike McDaniel running that scheme

1697
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 14: and you've got the weapons that they have, I mean

1698
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 14: led by Tiger Hill, but he's by far not close

1699
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 14: to being the only one. I mean, they've got so

1700
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 14: much speed, so many different spots. So I just don't

1701
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 14: think if you're a defense that you can look at, oh,

1702
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 14: no quarterback, we got this one like yeah, obviously it's

1703
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 14: you know, probably going to be a drop off. That's

1704
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 14: why one guys are starter and one guy's at whatever

1705
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:55,799
Speaker 14: seventh round pick.

1706
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 15: You just got a couple of years ago.

1707
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 14: So you would hope that that helps the defense and

1708
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 14: maybe you know, crowd gets into it and you get

1709
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 14: a turnover, some mistakes or something, But no one's taken

1710
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 14: a Mike McDaniel offense that features that kind of speed.

1711
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 15: No one's taking that.

1712
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 5: For granted, I saw like a couple of I guess

1713
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 5: you would say rookie mistakes from Tyree s Knighte.

1714
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 6: But he doesn't seem like a rookie to me.

1715
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, he makes lots of tackles and he

1716
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 5: didn't look like he was ever panicked or anything. And

1717
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 5: just I've talked to him one time, but what's his

1718
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:26,839
Speaker 5: personality like is it?

1719
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,719
Speaker 14: Is he just like, yeah, pretty calm, even keel demeanor.

1720
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 14: I haven't spent a ton of time with him, but

1721
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 14: I think, you know, he's a good fit with Mike

1722
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 14: McDaniel or I'm sorry, Mike McDonald. Too many mics, I know,

1723
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 14: the mac Mike Max. Yeah, but I think he's a

1724
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 14: good fit with Mic MacDonald that way, like they're both

1725
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 14: just kind of that like business, you know, even Keel guy.

1726
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 14: And to your point of him not being a rookie,

1727
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 14: I think it was really valuable. Not that they wanted

1728
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 14: their linebackers to be hurt in training camp and offseason

1729
01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 14: all that, but he got so many reps with the

1730
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 14: ones and you know, played a ton of the preseasons,

1731
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 14: so when he's called upon that, they feel like he's

1732
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 14: pretty ready to go.

1733
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 4: Gino finally get some love.

1734
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 3: Man, it's been a while, a well overdue. It's not

1735
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 3: a concern, but how has Gino like kind of embraced this.

1736
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 3: I think I think I would assume a guy like

1737
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 3: Gino it's deserved and you gotta like it a bit.

1738
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 3: It makes you feel good about yourself, but you also

1739
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 3: got to stay focused and say, all right, we got

1740
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 3: fifty more games to go.

1741
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I don't think he's something that's gonna

1742
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,719
Speaker 14: let it go to his head, but he's always carried

1743
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 14: that chip on his shoulder like he he believes that

1744
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 14: that's you know, what he is is one of those

1745
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 14: truly elite top quarterbacks, and that's exactly what he played

1746
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 14: like this past week. So yeah, I mean, I'm sure

1747
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 14: he doesn't mind getting a little validation for that, but

1748
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 14: it's not gonna change who he is and take that

1749
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 14: chip off his shoulder. I mean, he's for ever gonna

1750
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 14: be that guy that feels like he got slept on

1751
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 14: for a long time and didn't get the shots he

1752
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 14: probably deserved.

1753
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: When the inactives come out ninety minutes before game time.

1754
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 2: What are the names we're watching for to see whether

1755
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 2: they're playing or not this week.

1756
01:14:59,240 --> 01:14:59,439
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1757
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 14: I like how you phrase it that way, because the

1758
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 14: way Mike mc mike don't see almost again, the way

1759
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 14: Mike mcdonal's not so forthcoming with injury information. I think

1760
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 14: it might be until ninety minutes beforehand when we find

1761
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 14: out about you know, obviously the big one for a

1762
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,880
Speaker 14: lot of people is going to be Kenneth Walker. You know,

1763
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 14: he didn't play last week without oblique.

1764
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 6: We'll see it.

1765
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 14: You know, it didn't sound too serious when it happened,

1766
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 14: but I think you know, obliques can be tricky and

1767
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 14: you want to be careful with those. It's you know,

1768
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 14: Jerome Baker and uh who was a boy and Mafy

1769
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 14: both came out of the game with injuries, so we'll

1770
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,719
Speaker 14: have to see where they come. And then George Fant

1771
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 14: would be the other one to kind of see how

1772
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 14: he's come back from that. And yet we don't know

1773
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 14: anything yet about Nuo Sue. You know, they didn't put

1774
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 14: him on IR so that in theory means he's eligible

1775
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 14: hopefully close because he you know, if he was going

1776
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 14: to miss four games they would have put him on

1777
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 14: IR So, you know, we'll see maybe he gets on

1778
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 14: the practice fel a little bit this week.

1779
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 6: We don't know that yet, but yeah.

1780
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 14: There's there's gonna be a few names to watch throughout

1781
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 14: the week on the injury part.

1782
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 5: I feel like a lot of kickers try to act

1783
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 5: cool and like their pulse never gets over seventy and

1784
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 5: they do the same thing every time. But our guy

1785
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:04,040
Speaker 5: really does. He is that guy. Yeah, Jason Myers. It's amazing. Yeah,

1786
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 5: Like we talked to him the other day on our

1787
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 5: show and he's just the most even keeled character ever.

1788
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 14: I think that's a really important trait for that position.

1789
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 4: You can't you can't get caught up.

1790
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 14: In emotional swings when so much your job is high leverage,

1791
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:19,480
Speaker 14: high pressure.

1792
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 15: Stuff and the routine of it.

1793
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 14: Like if you're not in your routine for kickers, I

1794
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 14: can't really mess yet. But yeah, you know, he missed

1795
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 14: I think what two extra points in the preseason. A

1796
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 14: lot of fans were kind of freaking out about that.

1797
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 14: But he's been awesome this season. He's what, five for

1798
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,759
Speaker 14: five on field goals, four for four extra points, fifty

1799
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 14: yarder Week one game tying and game winning this week.

1800
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 14: So yeah, I mean that's that's why he's been a

1801
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 14: pro bowler before and why the Seahawks are really glad

1802
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 14: he's our kicker.

1803
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 3: Man, A good field goal kicker is like that that

1804
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 3: guy to scrambled when everyone else misses the fairway.

1805
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 4: He's the last guy up and Bowen comes through.

1806
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 10: That's not you.

1807
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 4: I can be that guy.

1808
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 3: Depends on how many bloodies and cigars are and then well,

1809
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 3: I'll determine that.

1810
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 4: Biggest challenge this week for this scene. What do you

1811
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 4: think it is?

1812
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 14: I mean, to me, it's just taking care of the

1813
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 14: stuff that they can do on the perimeter, run game,

1814
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 14: man passing, like just they're going to test the Seahawks

1815
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 14: in a way that we just haven't seen yet so far,

1816
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 14: the first two offenses that they've seen.

1817
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:15,639
Speaker 13: So it's great.

1818
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 14: It'll be a fun kind of early test for this

1819
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 14: defense and see where they're at. But yeah, it's just

1820
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,440
Speaker 14: not giving up the big stuff.

1821
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 4: All right.

1822
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, those inactives come out in ninety minutes

1823
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 2: before game time. Make sure you're following Boil on x

1824

Speaker 2: We are back next week at a normal day. It's Thursday.

1828
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: This has been the huddle
