0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Injuries for today.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Huff Risk won't practice, flant again, fouls calf won't practice,

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Jake Moody right ankle won't practice, Jordan Elliott knee won't practice,

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Tarvarius Ward knee will be limited, Conley oblique limited, Kittle

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>ribs limited, Fred Warner ankle limited, Gyre ankle limited.

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Diagnosis.

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Um tore some ligaments in his wrist. Yeah, it would

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 2>be at least a month, probably longer. We haven't could be.

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>We haven't decided whether do it or not. Though get

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 2>hurt during the game, had a bruise on his knee.

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you guys have to say whether they're questionable today

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 4>because it's Friday, or.

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. That's someone messed up with just

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Ron bergendi this thing.

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of people make a lot about McDonald's

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 5>defense and what happened last year on Christmas. What can

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 5>you tell us about McDonald's scheme and and what makes

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 5>it special?

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, does a real good job mixing all the

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 2>schemes up fronts coverages as players play real hard, their

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>coach well, their techniques are good, good tacklers, and they

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>mix up the looks.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Different between that Seahawks squad and a Pete Carroll Seahawks squad.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean the schemes have changed. They run different schemes.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 6>Like you know, Smith is throwing the ball probably, I

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 6>think maybe more than some people.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 3>He's throwing it more than any quarterback in the UNFUS.

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 2>So how is he doing and how much.

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 5>Of their offense maybe calls it more around him than

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 5>their running game.

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's so early, so you never know, but they

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>definitely started out that way. I think Gino's doing a

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>hell of a job. He's got three big weapons in

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 2>the past game, including his tight ends. Also, his running

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>back is as good as it gets also, so uh,

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>they got some talent over there, and they can stretch

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the field and Gino can get hot.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a reaction to Robert Solid's dismiss a

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>lot of you guys changed texts?

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Then I have a yet, just because of how backed

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>up we've been. I might send him a text, but

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got to talk to him. And yeah, I

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>was pretty shocked. You know, that stuff throws you off.

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Especially I think they're competing for first in the division

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>this week, and I think they're up there on defense

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>and got a pretty good team and a chance to

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>have a hell of a year. So that was pretty surprising.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 3>What has Malleton's job done well so far and how

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 3>has he been in the sort of communication aspect of

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>his job.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I think communication is one of the hardest things, especially

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>for a young guy coming in. I think he's been

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 2>getting better at that the more he's been out there.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, just as lack of not has.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I saw that a little in preseason, just

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>with some of the hits he had, especially he saw

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a couple in that Tennessee game from what I remember,

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and when he's coming he's done the same stuff. I

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>think he gets faster each week, just recognizing things and

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>not breaking down and trying to run through his tackles.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 3>You have the same volume of plays and the same

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 3>size of a playbook on a Thursday game as you

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 3>do for a Sunday game.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd say the same size.

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>You don't try to put it in as much new

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff for things that take a while to get down.

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes we overwhelm.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Guys on Wednesday, but you can repeat it on a

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Thursday and Friday and come back to it and eventually

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>it sticks. So you try not to do that with

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>new stuff, but volume wise is much different.

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 6>Kay, I do no harm approach to special teams, which

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 6>can be read as like, well, why would you want

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 6>to make it as great as possible and make a difference?

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 6>Is that an accurate reading and kind of what is

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 6>your philosophy? As far as I guess we want referring

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 6>to it, sometimes you said, you know, we don't want

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 6>them to screw it out.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I always had the right words

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>for that, But what I'm trying to say is you'd

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>like to build a team to where you don't feel

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you have to return a kick a punt or have

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>a fake kick or a fake punt, or you don't

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>have to rely on something like that to get a win.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I like to feel that you feel like you can

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 2>do it between the offensive defense of just beating someone.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>And I think in this league one of the best

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 2>ways to win games is to not lose a game.

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>To not find a way to lose it.

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of games are given away, and

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to special teams with amount of touchbacks

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 2>there are and stuff just extra points, getting a punt off,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 2>those are opportunities to lose it with any of those

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>are blocked. There's only so many special teams plays that

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>go into a game, and so you don't want to

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>be overly risky on trying to win it there when

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you're only going to have ten to fifteen plays. You

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>take out all the touchbacks and stuff. It's even less

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 2>than that, So you don't want to go out of

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>your way to to be risky to try to get

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>your stuff there. You'd rather do it with people who

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>are out there for seventy straight plays.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>This would be a galvanizing moment for your team.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 3>I understand it's really early, but you have a short

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 3>week at Seattle and then kind of that mini buy

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 3>to just get yourselves right before the two home games

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 3>before the buyers.

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Like where you're at the schedule, Yeah, and I mean

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 2>so many situations. I mean, losing our last two divisional games,

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't won this week's huge. Playing against Seattle is always huge.

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Going up, there's always huge, and then always in the NFL.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>It's it's tough to get ready for a Thursday night game,

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 2>but I think everyone enjoys them because.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>There's very rare.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>It's very rare that you get to sit back and

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of enjoy that for three days and watch the

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 2>rest of the league, and there are a lot more

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>fun when you win, and when you get to sit

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>back and be pissed off for three days, it's not

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>nearly as much fun.

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 4>It's like we've asked these questions with you know, Robert

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 4>and with Tamiko early in their ten years as defensive coordinator.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 4>But with did is it kind of a similar thing,

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 4>just kind of figuring things out? And you know, how

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 4>would you evaluate just the early part of his tenure

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 4>as deep asive coordinator.

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Nick's doing a real good job.

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Then pressed with him since the beginning each week, U

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>like how he handles the defensive staff, like how they

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>set up the practices, and I've liked his game plans

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and I liked how he's called it. So I've been

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 2>real happy with Nick so far.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 5>Got the red zone? Is it, you know, creating space

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 5>in the red zone? Is it more about your personnel

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 5>or is it play design?

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it quickness?

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>What?

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 5>What's the key to get in that space in that

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 5>tight area?

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Everything?

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could give you guys a theme for

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 2>the red zone. But you know, you get three tries

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 2>when you're inside the ten and depending on what you

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>do when we run the ball there. I think we

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>need to be much more effective running it. You know,

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>when you run run the ball twice, you'd like to

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 2>get in and not just put one pressure third down

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 2>on the the past game. And when you do throw

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>it more then you got to make sure you come

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>through with those, especially not having a negative play with those.

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>So running the ball better takes a lot of pressure off.

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Also give some better passing looks. We've tried both and

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 2>haven't been good enough with both though, So it's all

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>aspects of offense.

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>A couple of really productive games against Seattle last year.

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>How would you, I guess assess how he's performing specifically

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>as a receiver. I think Deepo is doing a good job.

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think you know, he had his best game,

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, at least statistically, right before he got hurt.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, missed a week and a half and thought

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>it was tough for him to come back for the

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 2>New England game, but we were he was able to

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>get out there and play, and I think it involved

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 2>a ton last week. But it's usually a matter of

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>time with that stuff. That stuff comes full circle and

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Depo's too good to not eventually have a big one.

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Do you have a timeline on Moody is I are

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 4>a possibility?

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>It's high ankle sprain.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 2>So usually with those, I usually say about a month.

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes they can surprise you and go quicker, sometimes they

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>can go longer. So we're not exactly sure yet.

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So ir is an option.

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, just with the how quick this happened, having

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Hugh in that situation where we got to decide Moony

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>could be a possible decision. We have a number of

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>guys already on it, so we're just trying to weigh

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 2>in all that stuff. Talked a lot.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 3>About Rock's ability to create with his feet and scramble

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and by time, the fact that he's doing it so

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 3>much mean that you need to be doing a better

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 3>job on offense to get the ball out of his hand.

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I mean it goes

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 2>both ways. It's you know, most of the ones that

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>we're doing that are deeper plays.

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>In the deeper plays and they.

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Get deep people and it's a three man rush that

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 2>usually cover your checkdowns. Plays we've been pretty effective with

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 2>and when they don't do it, and I think that's

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 2>where you see us hit some big crossers, so but

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 2>they have There's times that you want to get rid

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>of it quick, but people got to be open quick too,

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 2>which usually has to do with blitzers. If people blitz

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>and you get rid of it quick, you will get

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 2>rid of it quick you have to. But when they don't.

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 2>There's sometimes your checkdowns are covered, and when your checkdowns

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 2>are covered, I'm glad we have another option.

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, guess thanks, they
