1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm with my god, Paul Morier. I am Michael Bumpus,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: and we are going to start this show by recapping

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: what happened last week against the forty nine Ers. Now,

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: history says that the Hawks were supposed to win this game,

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: but Paul, it's a year by year, week by week

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: type of deal. So you got emotional win on Monday

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Night football, and then you got to travel to the

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Bay and take on a forty nine Ers team that

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: looked a bit different. Going into the game, We're like, okay,

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Trey Lance, right, this not a rookie,

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: but his second year after him at quarterback. We're gonna

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: see what he can do. But quickly into that game,

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: he gets injured and then Jimmy Garoppolo gets under center,

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: and I'm more nervous about Jimmy Garoppolo than I was

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: about Trey Lance because he knows this offense, his teammates

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: love him, and you watch this game unfold, and I

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: always talk to you on the side, right, I'm always

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: talking to my god, Paul Mooreer like what happened during

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: this game? And you say, look, it comes down to

20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: a few plays. You know you can point out certain

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: instances in this game to where you felt like they

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: could have won or lost his game. Enlighten me, enlighten

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: the people what you thought. Well, first of all, we

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a tough game. I mean,

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: their defense is legit and mean Buffalo and forty nine

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: ers defense to the best in the league. And they

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: they're they're tough for us because of their front four

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: and their linebackers, the way they play, and they they're

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: one of the few teams that can really get pressure

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: with just four or three four guys and play really

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: tight pass defense behind it. So they're going to contest

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: every throw, which which they did. You know, forget the

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: six quarters of offense. I mean, again, we knew this

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: was going to be a really tough game defensively. But

35
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: what I was saying and they go, look, it doesn't

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: matter unless you get give up seven hundred yards to

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and get beat forty five to nothing. Most

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: games still come down to four or five plays a

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: game and that's it. And if you go and look

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: at that the first half of that game, the Seahawks

41
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: missed three tackles that really jumped out in it. So

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: one was about a twenty yard play. One was a

43
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: fifteen yard play. The other one was the big long

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: one to Samuel It was fifty one yards, but it

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: was probably closer to fifty five yards from where we

46
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: could have made the tackle. So you're talking well over

47
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: eighty yards just on three plays there, um, So that's

48
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: that's Number one. Two is look we we have I

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a good call or a

50
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: bad call, but the one DK metcalf cut downfield and

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: they called bad call. Well, they called an offensive lineman downfield,

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: but he was engaged. And I know it's bad call

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: because it was Lucas from Washington. But their new rule

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: this year is anything after two yards you've got to

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: you've got to back off on that, right, So that

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: was big um the half backpack. We're down thirteen to nothing,

57
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: um and by the way, before that, we're down six

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: to nothing because of those miss tackles. Gave up two

59
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: field goals on that. Jimmy Garoppolo comes in. We're a

60
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: little bit worried because now they have the ability to

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: throw the football. We didn't think Trey Lamps was going

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: to be his throwing the ball, running the ball maybe,

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: but he's now so we're down six to nothing and

64
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: we have a blown coverage and we now we're down

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: thirteen to nothing. I'm like, all right, we we got

66
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: our work cut out for us. But we have a

67
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: nice drive. We're driving down there. We're in their red zone,

68
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 1: and we decided to call a half back pass. Well

69
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: that's a good call back all. It does not matter.

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: It was not executed properly. You like it as you

71
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: like it. I like it if we had a scored

72
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: on it. But every coach will tell you if it's

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: not there, throw it away or just running. We can

74
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: live to play another day. But whatever you do, don't

75
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: throw an interception. And I remember one time they ran

76
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: when I was playing, they ran a fake punt and

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: I was the guy that had disguise and I dragged

78
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: out into the kind of intermediate part of the field,

79
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: and you're going to just don't mess it up, right,

80
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the coaches don't mess it up whatever you do. And

81
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: sure enough I tipped the ball. I think I got intercepted.

82
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's another story, but that reminds me of that

83
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: play was on that one, thirteen to nothing, A little

84
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: flexum thirteen to nothing. We come away with no points.

85
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: That's that's huge. So then the next one, we've got, um,

86
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: we're down what thirteen to nothing at going into close

87
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: to halftime, but we got a chance to go down

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe kick a field goal, and we muff the punt return. Yeah,

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh, man, I mean these are big,

90
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: huge plays. And then we have a horrible third down

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: PI against US. I'm kolbe Bryant, and you can't have

92
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: bad call. You can't have the ref influence certain that

93
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have called it or yes, okay, no, man,

94
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: we should have been off the field in that situation.

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at that. I'm gonna group the tackles

96
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 1: is one that was eighty some yards. We'll get better

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: because of that, but you know, we've got to become

98
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: a better tackling team. The DK went down field, the

99
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: half back pass, the MUF hunt, the third down, and

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: the blown coverage. I go, man, it's five six plays

101
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: and the game's completely different. Now we didn't play well

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Is good. You cannot get behind on

103
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: them early. They're really difficult to come back on, both defensively,

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna run the football, so they're just

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna chew up the clock along the way, we'll have

106
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: better days. I mean, we're a team right now. It's

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: probably gonna have some good days from bad days, and

108
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about this a bunch until we

109
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: get the consistency from the young guys. And the coaches

110
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: talked about this. So we got a lot of young guys,

111
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: from Darryl Taylor, the still young guy, we're counting on him,

112
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: from Jordan Brooks to Chyreek Wool and Kobe Bryant. I mean,

113
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: we got a lot of young guys defensively that just

114
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: we need them be a little more consistent. So it's

115
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Sorry, my thoughts. Hey, you know I'm gonna

116
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: playoff for you. Man, My Guy'm all right, hey man,

117
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Paul Moore. I look at that game and I think

118
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: that the forty nine is out physical the Seahawks. Now,

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that the Seahawks can't be physical, just

120
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: means that in that moment, they were the more physical team.

121
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: And then I look at Geno Smith and I'm like,

122
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: all right, he was efficient. He's the only quarterback in

123
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: the league right now completing eighty percent of his passes.

124
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: But the reason why he's completing eighty percent of his

125
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: passes is because he's stowing the hitch, he's stowing the out,

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: he's down the slam. High percent is passes. You know,

127
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: I was on our my show earlier today, bumpa Stacey

128
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: every day unless you every day? To thank you, mom,

129
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: man I do. I turned the radio one right about ten,

130
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: right about ten o'clock. I appreciate you, and I say, look,

131
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: I need Gino to be seventy percent passing, and why

132
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: do we need to be seventy percent passing? That means

133
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: that he is taking chances down the field. Now people

134
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: look at Gino and say, why isn't he throwing the

135
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: football down the field. It's not all up to him,

136
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer. There's there's an OC who calls a place

137
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: that kind of dictates where the ball goes. So I

138
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna look at this film and they're gonna say. Defensively,

139
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: we need to be stronger, we need to be tougher,

140
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: we need to get bodies on bodies. These linebackers need

141
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: to meet these linemen about two yards down the field

142
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: instead of four to five yards down the field. And

143
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: then offensively, we need to let Gina open it up,

144
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: and we heard Pete Carroll say that we need to

145
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: open up the game. So before I get your thoughts

146
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: on now, don't remind people there's a raffle going on.

147
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: You guys, find Richard and Julia. All right, you get

148
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: entered into a raffle. We got a lot going on.

149
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Make sure you see those two over there. But the physicality,

150
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? Is that's how the

151
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: we need to do. I think again a trepitter perception.

152
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: You go and watch it wasn't like we weren't playing

153
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: hard and trying to hit. We have a wrap up

154
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: problem defensively, and they went through into preseason. We've seen

155
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: it the first two games. If we were just being

156
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: getting juked all over the place, I'd be more concerned.

157
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: They're just gonna have to make the emphasis. Hey, look,

158
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: we're not shoulder tacklers in this league can't do it.

159
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather have a wrap up around the guy's waist

160
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: around the line of scrimmage. Then you try to blow

161
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: them up and then miss. Every once in a while.

162
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: In this league, you just cannot let these skill guys

163
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: get into the second level. It's too difficult. So I

164
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: don't know if we and I agree because when I

165
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: when I was done with that game, I got Man,

166
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: it's one of the few times we went into San

167
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Francisco and they got us physically. I mean, they dominated

168
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. Then I go back

169
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: and I watch it and I go I mean, you know,

170
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: we got some push with our offensive line. I mean

171
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: I saw some of our times where our guards and

172
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: tackles were two three yards down field. It was kind

173
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: of a nice fan look, you know with our offensive line.

174
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Man, their linebackers are good. Though you know

175
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: they're they're blocked for a nanosecond. They get off blocks,

176
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great tape for our linebackers

177
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: to look. It's okay to have somebody block you, but

178
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: it's not okay to stay blocked. And boy, forty nine

179
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: ers are really good at that, using their hands and scrape.

180
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: And so we got to get better. And there's no

181
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: question about it. San Francisco knew it was gonna be

182
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: a tough test. They're a legit Super Bowl contending team.

183
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: They lost a game that was really difficult for them

184
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: that first week against Chicago. We came off an emotional

185
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: lot and I'm not making excusely. We gotta play better,

186
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: but there are reasons why we didn't play as well.

187
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: A lot has to do with the forty nine ers.

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you it's never as good or as

189
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: bad as you think it is. It was not as

190
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: bad as everybody thinks. No, it wasn't. We look at

191
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: the scorer. The score can be deceiving. But I think offensively,

192
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: there's some things that I want to see. I want

193
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: to see with shot Penny touched a battle bit more.

194
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: I want to see them be creative. With Ken Walker,

195
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: he had an eight yard run. Moyer was the best

196
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: run of the day for me. As far as as

197
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Seahawk running backs. Man, he's juke and right, he's juke

198
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and left, he's getting up field. You see the potential there,

199
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: and then you gotta get number fourteen involved in a

200
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: game plan. It's nice to see Tyler Lock could do

201
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: his thing, but nine catches one hundred and seven yards.

202
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: But you need big plays, and I think it starts

203
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: with DK mccaff You're paying this man twenty five million

204
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: dollars a year for a reason. I just hope he

205
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: stays patient. I hope that Shane figures out a way

206
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: to get him the ball, and I hope that Gino

207
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: is not afraid to do that. We're just getting started

208
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: here on hot slive here at Center Courton Bellevue Score.

209
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: When we return, we're gonna talk to Josh Kendall from

210
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: the Athletic. That's next right here on hot slot. We

211
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: got a nice crowd in front of us. If you're

212
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: not here, get here and get in on this raffle.

213
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: But right now we're gonna talk to Josh Kendall from

214
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: the Athletic. Josh, how are you doing good? Tell us

215
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: how y'all we are doing well? Getting ready for a matchup.

216
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a game. I think. I don't

217
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: know what the perception was in the atl but out

218
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: here in Seattle. You look at the matchup begins Atlanta,

219
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: You're going, Okay, that's a winnable game. But when you

220
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: look at the situation that both teams are in, you

221
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: watch the film, you say, this is going to be

222
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: a good one. What are your thoughts? Yeah? I think

223
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I think these are both relatively

224
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: flawed teams. They've got some things that you know, I

225
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: think think they're both optimistic about some things, but they've

226
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: yet to put it all together. Atlanta is you know,

227
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: has found two ways to lose in two different games.

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: But they're better than they were last year. They feel

229
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: like they're better than they were last year. They feel

230
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: like they're close. But if you go through every sort

231
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: of OH and two team in the league or one

232
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: and one team in the league, they all feel like

233
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: they're close. So until Atlanta breaks through, you know, they're

234
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: just talking about it. Well, they look like a pretty

235
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: good OH and two team. I mean they're up to

236
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: a twenty six to ten against New Orleans and lose

237
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: that one and then make a pretty great comeback last week.

238
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: What do you think they're closer to? I mean, they

239
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: definitely have some skilled people on there. Are they closer

240
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: to that we should have won the New Orleans game?

241
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Or closer to and O and two team? They should

242
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: have won a New Orleans game. Man, if Marcus Mario

243
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: to gets a snap on third and one, they probably

244
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: convert there and that game's over and they win that game.

245
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: So the Rams game was more of a fluke. They

246
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: were thumping pretty good for a while and I think

247
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: the Rams, you know, took a deep breath Atlanta gets

248
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: a pump block and a lot of things happen and

249
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: they get back in that game. So I think, you know,

250
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: they should have won that first game. So you know,

251
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: if they are they one in one team, I don't

252
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: know what you know. The reality is that they lost

253
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: them both. They are owing to Drake. London has looked great.

254
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts has not yet gotten on track, but we

255
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: know he's a really good player. That run game is

256
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: a little better than it was last year. Their defense

257
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: is getting more pressure, although it's not very good against

258
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: the runs. So I mean, you can they're believable when

259
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: they tell you we're better at this, this, and this,

260
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: because they are they're still owing two. Yeah, Josh, I

261
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: look at the weapons you guys have over there. You

262
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: mentioned Drake and London, who tore up the Pac twelve

263
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: last year over a thousand yards in like eight games

264
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. Got Kyle Pits the kid out

265
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: of Florida. Then you got the og in the backfield, Patterson.

266
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Ten years in the game, he's been he's been a returner,

267
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: he has been a receiver, but now he is a

268
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: running back. When you look at the weapons, how do

269
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: you feel the future looks for the Atlanta Falcons, Well,

270
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: it depends on if Marcus Mariotte is the anserate quarterback

271
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: or if in the future Desmond Ritter is the answer quarterback.

272
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: You've got to get that position short up. The run

273
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: defense has got to be better. You know, this is

274
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: a team that's carrying sixty three sixty four million dollars

275
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: a dead money this year. You know, so they have

276
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: some holes that they just can't feel they need more

277
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: the defensive line depths. They probably need another guy on

278
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line or two to feel really good about

279
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: where they are there. If Kyler Algier is a good

280
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: is the answer a running back, then they're probably okay

281
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: there for a little while. But you know, it's the

282
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage where I would expect them to spend

283
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: some money. One it becomes free in twenty twenty three,

284
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: and this could be a team. You know, this could

285
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: certainly be a playoff team in twenty twenty three. You

286
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Marcus Murriotta. Just what are your thoughts on that.

287
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been a starter for a while,

288
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: but he's looked good. I mean mostly it's been in

289
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: the run game where he's looked good. But I've all say, look,

290
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: his release looks different, it looks quicker than it was

291
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: a few years ago. It just gets to your assessment

292
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: so far in Marcus, he's been better than they deserve,

293
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: given that they put themselves in a bad position by

294
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: pursuing Deshaun Watts, failing in that pursuit and then having

295
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: to trade Matt Ryan. You know, they signed Marcus the

296
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: day that they traded Matt Ryan. They got pretty lucky

297
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: that a guy like him, who's famiere with Arthur Smith's system,

298
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: who is a great locker room present, who is a

299
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know fine NFL starter, was

300
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: available that you know, the ball that he threw up

301
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: in the end zone that Ramsey picked was probably not

302
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: a good decision. He had a guy open there that

303
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: we've talked about, the third one where he phone was

304
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: the snappy. If he just cleans up, cleans up a

305
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: couple of things, he'll be really good for this team.

306
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: But again, it just comes down to you've got to

307
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: make those plays to win. I mean, it's it's a

308
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: sort of a brass tax league. You look at Marcus Mariotta,

309
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table, what you guys have

310
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter, the guy who took Cincinnati to the College

311
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: football Playoffs, hasn't lost a lot of games at that level.

312
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Is there anything that Marcus Marietta can do to open

313
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: up the door for this young man or do you

314
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: feel like Marcus is going to be the guy throughout

315
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: this season? No. I think that they've got to take

316
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: a look at Desmond Ritter at some point. And I

317
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: think because before twenty twenty three gets here, you gotta

318
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: know what you've got for the future in Desmond Ritter.

319
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: You gotta know whether you're in the QB market in

320
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three or night. So how well Marcus plays,

321
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: I think determines that timeline. If they're sitting there at

322
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: two and five, after week seven LINEA gets into a

323
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: week eight, nine, ten stretch where they played Caroline twice,

324
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: I could see that being Desmond Ritter's time. If Marcus

325
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: gets some things cleaned up, If this team is four

326
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: and three, even maybe three and four, you know, and

327
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Marcus is playing pretty well, I think that pushes Desmond

328
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: Ridders timeline back further in the season. But I do

329
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: believe that they've got to take a look at Desmond

330
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Ridder in regular season games this year. They won't admit that,

331
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's a fact. You got a local

332
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: kid from you dubbed there Caleb McCrary starting at right tackle.

333
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: How's he looked so far? Well, he was a first

334
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: round pick in nineteen. They drafted two offensive linemen in

335
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: the first round in twenty nineteens, Caleb McGarry and Chris Leinstrom.

336
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: They picked up Lenstrom's fifth year option over in the

337
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: off season. They did not pick up McGary's. He's just

338
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: been okay at right tackle for them. But if you

339
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: look around the league, there are a lot of okay

340
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: right tackles in the league, So you know, he's he's

341
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: kind of average. But I don't know that the Falcons

342
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: are going to do much better. Um he's played, probably is,

343
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: but he thinks he's played his best season so far,

344
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: while acknowledging that it's two weeks into the season. So

345
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: if he keeps playing like he's playing right now, I

346
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: think it's potentially he could be back in Atlanta next year.

347
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: If if he you know, by the time the season

348
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: we get to week seventeen and he's played like he

349
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: has the previous four seasons, then some of that free

350
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: agent money that we're talking about, then spending on the

351
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: offensive line could be on fighting a right tackle in

352
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the offseason. Josh, tell me about Arthur Smith. This is

353
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: his second year running the Atlanta Falcons. Do you feel

354
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: like the foundation is set? Is the future bright over?

355
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: There was to feel for the Falcons. Yes, I think

356
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: if I think that there are reasons to believe too,

357
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: if you're an Atlanta fan, to be optimistic about the

358
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: future of this, of this franchise. Arthur Smith, Terry Fontina

359
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: at this point look like they know what they're doing.

360
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: But it's you know, on the on the flip side,

361
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got to be really bad at this,

362
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: if you there's no optimism in early in year two

363
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: in your tenure, we've seen some of that around the NFL,

364
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: that's a really bad sign. So given what they inherited,

365
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: given um the salary cap situation, given that they there

366
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: are a few bright spots that you could with young

367
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: people that you could potentially, you know, track out into

368
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: being really successful. Yeah, I think that there's a reason

369
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: for optimism for Atlanta fans, But again, they've got to

370
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: see it. To fruition, you got to see it to

371
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: believe it. Josh. We appreciate you staying up late. Yeah,

372
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: we know what you're doing, me having what you doing, Josh.

373
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm actually in Seattle, so it's seven thirty, but it

374
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: feels like ten thirty. All right, did you did you

375
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: travel with the team because they all came up here.

376

Speaker 1: after the quarterback. What was it like to get that

Speaker 1: tap on the shoulder and getting that game and calls

409
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,760

410
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: coach Pete, He's actually giving me the opportunity. He threw

411
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: me in a game last week, and you know, I

412
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: was just trying to make the best of it to

413
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: help help the guys, you know, help our defense do

414
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: their thing. Did you know going into the week that

415
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: you were going to be on the fifty three and plan? Oh? Yeah.

416
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: When they claimed me, they kind of told me that

417
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: I was gonna come up and and and you know,

418
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: help out on special teams. Uh. So I was just excited,

419
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: uh for the opportunity. I love being the first guy

420
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: to come out on the field and setting the tone

421
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: for the for the team. So it's definitely great. Well

422
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: that that you did. Look I'm looking at you. I

423
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: mean you're six foot six, two hund I don't know,

424
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: two sixty two fifty five. Um, they got you a

425
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: defensive end, but you know, with the system they're playing now,

426
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: it's almost like an outside linebacker. What what do you

427
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: consider yourself? Are you a defensive end or an outside linebacker?

428
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean they got me kind of doing a little

429
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: bit of everything, So I can't really tell you what

430
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: I consider myself. I guess I'm just a football player. Um,

431
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: but they got me playing like a lot of inside

432
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: to rushing on the inside and you know, uh also

433
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: the outside linebacker self. No, I'm just excited about it. Dar,

434
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: I love it. You say you're a football player, I

435
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: love it. In high school, did you just play football?

436
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: Did you play something else? I played a little basketball,

437
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: but I always had the love for football. So yeah,

438
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: tell me about your college, man, you grew up in

439
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: it looks like Kingsland, Georgia, but you ended up going

440
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: to North Carolina A and T, which by the way

441
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: is Agriculture and Technical State University. But how how did

442
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: you end up at North Carolina at uh, shoot, I

443
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: did have no offers, so it just happened. They kind

444
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: of called me up. Um well, I actually I was

445
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: calling around. I had people calling around my coaches and

446
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: things like that, and then we just, you know, God

447
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: bless me with one of the coaches from ANTI U

448
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: rest out and they offered me a partial scholarship. And

449
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I just took it, and you know, took the manage

450
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: of every opportunity and work my butt off, and you know,

451
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: just God and nothing but God, That's all I gotta say.

452
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Nothing but God, Amen does that. And you know North

453
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Carolina ANTI you know, part of the HBCUs and you know,

454
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: I think with Dion Sanders, you know, really starting with

455
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: Jackson State, really making a name for some of those schools.

456
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: Do you see that growing as well? Is that a

457
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: big part of this growth for those schools? Oh? Yes,

458
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: of course. If you look around the league, there's a

459
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: lot of guys UM that went to HBC used that

460
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: or on active roster. So and being at Dion just

461
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: made that move. It was big for HBCUs UM And

462
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I tell guys all the time from my

463

Speaker 1: And Buffalo obviously the hot team and you know, a

496
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: really good organization. But we hear this all the time

497
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: when people come from other organizations to Seattle. There's something

498
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: different about Seattle. Can you share a little bit about

Speaker 1: I've been here for about two weeks now, and I

502
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: just it's something about Seattle and the way coach Pete

503
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: run run things. Uh, it's like a brotherhood. You know.

504
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: I immediately came into the locker room and everybody just

505
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, showed me. You showed me around

506
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: and just showed me a good time. And you know,

507
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: it's more you know, when you come to work, it's

508
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: it's fun coming to work in Seattle. Then um, other places.

509
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of other places more business and

510
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, great football. But coach Pete, the way he

511
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: had to set up is just amazing. It's amazing how

512
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: he has the guys, the team. He got a lot

513
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: of great guys in the locker room. Everybody's all in

514
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: so it's just great, man, it's great. It is a

515
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: cool organization. Do you play well. It doesn't matter who's

516
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: in front of it. You're gonna you're gonna play. You're

517
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: gonna get some time. And that's why you're on the field.

518
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I want to ask you one thing you. I was

519
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: looking at some of your numbers. I think you were

520
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: ninety two at Buffalo and I'm not sure what you

521
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: were in college. You're number forty. Now, why did you

522
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Why did you grab number forty? Is there some history

523
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: behind that? Uh? I had forty in college, so that

524
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: was the one. And then forty was my first number

525
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 1: ever actually ever playing football. So it was always it

526
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: was just something about that number I had to get,

527
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: and uh, you know I was it was something. It

528
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: was like it was a reason why forty was open.

529
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: So I just grabbed it. I said, show, this has

530
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: been my college number. This has been my number when

531
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: I was younger. So and also my dad had forty

532
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: back in his day. So I just grabbed that number.

533
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: I love it. Tell me tell me about your your

534
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: meeting room. So with receivers they call us Primadonna's right

535
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: where you are. With the dbs, they talked the most trash.

536
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: The offensive line. They're the closest group. Can't nobody say

537
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: nothing to the quarterbacks. What's it like in that d

538
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: n outside linebacker room? You know it's it's great. Uh,

539
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, we got some good guys in there. Uh,

540
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: I just said we were brotherhood. We were brotherhood, and

541
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: we were hungry. Um, we're we got a young outside

542
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: linebacker group, and I think the guys are just hungry

543
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: and ready to go, ready to learn, ready to take

544
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: everything again. Now I look at your position, Darrel, I

545
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: think you guys are probably the most athletic group out there.

546
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: And what is it about your position that that makes

547
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: guys like me look at that position and say, Okay,

548
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: these guys can do just about anything on the football field.

549
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: I would have to say, you know, being an edge

550
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: rusher and also a guy that could drop back and coverage,

551
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: UM coverage some of those you know, the flats and scenes,

552
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: so get underneath those type of routes. I think you

553
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: know that shows a lot of athletic ability. Forty nine

554
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: ers gave you guys. They're tough, tough running game, They're

555
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: they're a good football team. I mean, there's no question.

556
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Looks like Atlanta wants to do a little bit of

557
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: that same stuff that Trey lanswers doing, you know with Mariota. Um,

558
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: just real quick, just some what do you or some

559
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: difficulties Atlanta could put put out there and some players

560
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: that you guys are looking at. Uh know, we we

561
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: got a good to the game plan for Atlanta. Uh,

562
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: I just say, we just gotta stick with the game planing. Uh.

563
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: You know last week, you know we we I felt

564
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: like we needed that game to bounce back and learn

565
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: from coming from that first game win. Um we had.

566
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: So I just feel like, you know, um, we needed

567
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: that game to learn from him. The game plan we

568
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: have this week, I think it's good. We just got

569
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: to do our job, that's all. That's the only thing

570
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: we have to do. Just do our job. Don't do

571
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,639

00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback away, right, and that's why they put so

610
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: much money into Sean Watch and the way they structured that. Um.

611
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: I look, Cleveland's just a franchise that to me just

612
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: finds a way to lose. Yeah, I mean they can

613
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: have all the talent in the world. I mean there's

614
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: some there's just some franchises. There's a you know, there's

615
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: why a president of a company is so important and

616
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: CEOs Meanwhile, he's a president of a company's gonna be

617
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: very successful. By the way, First Hill Trust Company. If

618
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: you guys need healtum. But no, it is true though,

619
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: I mean you need the right leadership and they just

620
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: to me have never had it for whatever reason. So, um,

621
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not that pressure. I'm Pittsburgh. I

622
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: think's got a pretty good defense. But I think until

623
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: look Travisky, they're always gonna be looking to replace him. Yeah,

624
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: and you know they did drafted one kid, Pikett that

625
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: we'll see. More's the game that I'm looking forward to

626
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: seeing the most. Other than the Seahawks versus the Falcons,

627
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: of course, Buffalo versus Miami. Miami comes back against the Ravens,

628
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: puts up something like four or five touchdowns in the

629
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Get that then, Tool. It's almost like it's

630
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: coming out party. He's throwing touchdowns everywhere. He's got Tyreek Hill,

631
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: He's got Widdle, He's got Ja Siky. I look at

632
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and I see the best defense in

633
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: the league, and I see arguably right now, the best

634
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. Offense, one, you got Zach Moss,

635
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: you got options over there, you got knocks at the

636
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: tight end spot. When you look at this game, you

637
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: think Miami has a chance or do you think the

638
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo is gonna run on? I mean Miami's played pretend enders.

639
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of good teams out there.

640
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo is great, and I believe the game is in

641
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: Miami and thing is supposed to be warm, so you

642
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: never know on that. But yeah, I mean, Buffalo has

643
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: scored seventy two points in two games versus two good

644
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: football teams, and they've given up seventeen. Miami has scored

645
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: sixty two. Not bad, they've given up forty five. I mean, Kenya,

646
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: anybody can beat anybody in this league. But Buffalo right now,

647
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: unless they get some injuries, they're just playing at another

648
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: level right now. To me. The biggest surprise, who's that Cincinnati? Yeah? Yeah?

649
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh and two, now, look they got some offensive line issues.

650
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: They had offensive line issues last year. They got hot

651
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: at the right time towards the end of the year.

652
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: It's a good story. But I've seen look that you

653
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: lose that Super Bowl. There's something about that Super Bowl hangover.

654
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: It's real. There's something about the emotion and the expectations.

655
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: I've just never seen too many teams that are young

656
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: like them that went to a Super Bowl. Up and

657
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: comer start off. Oh and two, you usually it's in

658
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the year, they have some injuries, some adversity.

659
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: They're not really sure how to deal with it. To me,

660
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is I think that's the biggest surprise and probably

661
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: old on. Let me stay in Cincinnati, ahead, let me

662
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: stay in Cincinnati, because I was one of the few

663
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: who thought they weren't going to do anything this year.

664
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: You didn't, I didn't. I thought that they snuck up

665
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: on people last year. They were a ten to sixteen surprised. No,

666
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. I'm surprised that they're playing this poorly.

667
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: I you know, you can be owing two and still

668
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: be a good Owen two football team, right. I look

669
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: at this team at Owen two, and I'm like, they're

670
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: not playing good football and it's all about protecting the

671
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: quarterback something they cannot do what Joe burrows. So No,

672
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: I looked at this team and I said, all right,

673
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: how do you play with a target on your back?

674
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: You go through the whole season last year under the radar,

675
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: beating a few teams. Yeah, they got Joe Cool over

676
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 1: there in Jamar Chase and Joe Mixon. How do you

677
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: respond when people see you on their schedule and say,

678
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta go get up for this one.

679
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: What else are you looking at in this league? Uh,

680
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: we have part of me what to be Uh until

681
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: Arizona made a massive comeback last week. Uh, that they

682
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: were going to be my other surprise of Wow, I

683
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: can't believe they're O and two, but they came back. Um.

684
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think everything else is. I was telling

685
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: you earlier, I go, I think there's five teams in

686
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: the NFL WAT one two. Looking at number of undefeated

687
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: team two three, four, there's six undefeated teams in the

688
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: NFL were in Week two. Yeah, that's crazy to me.

689
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: You know, just there's a lot of one on one

690
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: teams right now. Um O and two Cincinnati. That's statistically

691
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: that's not good. I mean, the odds of making the

692
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: playoffs are tough. There's seventeen games schedule this year, so

693
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I went two is not what it

694
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: used to mean, you know, back when there was fourteen

695
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: and sixteen game schedules. But that's that's a tough hole

696
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: to climb out. I think Tampa Bay, you know, to

697
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: be two and oh, I mean Tom Brady not being

698
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: in camp going through all the visits too. You know,

699
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: he's he is og o O. I remember the first

700
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: time you called me og because when whenever they throw acronyms,

701
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what they are, like, oh gee,

702
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: he just called me old guy. He called me old

703
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: guy and he said jeering. But it's original gangster but

704
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: it's love. I don't know. I don't think you're a

705
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: president from from the OC man oh my gangster friends

706
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: Buddy surfboards at all? Right, right, you know what I

707
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: look at. I also look at the Tennessee Titans and

708
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: how disappointed all day. Right, you're the number one seed

709
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: last year, you get to the conference and they get

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: to the conference championship game. Oh, anyway, they made a

711
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: nice run last year, and you figure, okay, they're gonna

712
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: be okay this year. You get rid of a J. Brown,

713
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: Would you bring over Robert Woods? You drive Trailing Burke's

714
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: good receiver out of Arkansas. You still have Derek Henry

715
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: and then you have Tannehill. And I watched that game

716
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: was a Monday night game where they just got smacked

717
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: by the Bills, and I'm thinking, okay, maybe it's time

718
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: we see that Ricky willis the quarterback from Liberty. And

719
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: see what he does. He comes in, he fumbles the football.

720
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: So you look at the Tennessee Titans in they're a

721
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: perfect example of that nothing's guaranteed in this league. You

722
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: gotta come back and improve it unless you have of

723
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: Pat mahomes, of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, and even

724
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: Aaron lost his first game. Yeah, I think the Raiders

725
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: being O and two is a bit of surprise. Philadelphia

726
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: two and now I'm curiously what they do. I mean,

727
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: they've looked pretty good too. Um, you know, we'll see,

728
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: you know, how they developed there. I think maybe the

729
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: biggest two and oh surprise that they've only want they

730
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: want their two and o's the Giants. But you know

731
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: they've got a plus four differential, so they've won two

732
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: really close games. But it's wide open. I mean the

733
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: amount of one and one teams, it's you know, you

734
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: got to like said six two and oh teams. I

735
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: don't even know we got one. Sorry, I'm looking at

736
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: the number. We have two teams that are O and two.

737
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: Everybody else is one and one, right, you know, so

738
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: you know, injuries are a huge factor. So it's it's

739
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: early in the season. We're gonna be talking about the

740
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks again. I think they're gonna be a bit up

741
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: and down till these young guys start getting a lot

742
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: of consistency. But I do believe we have the talent.

743
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna rebound this week and we're gonna

744
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: play a good game. Another team in the NFC who's

745
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: making some noise, Philadelphia Eagles two and oh, first in

746
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: the NFC West. They beat the Detroit Lions thirty eight

747
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: to thirty five, who I grew fond of the lines

748
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: because of the hard knocks. I love their coach. I

749
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: love their coach over there. And then they beat the

750
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings twenty four to seven. I look at that team,

751
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: and they're a balanced attack. You got Jalen Hursts who

752
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: through for three hundred yards in one touchdown last week.

753
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: But you'll also have a defense I can hold it down,

754
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: a run game that's pretty good. I'm mentioned to see

755
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: how he evolves. He's the perfect example of that. You

756
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: just got to take your time with some quarterbacks. A

757
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: lot of people won instant satisfaction when it comes to

758
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. Jalen Hurst is an example. All right, give

759
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: me some time, give me a few years to develop.

760
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: Now two weeks into the season, right, but so far,

761
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: so good for Philly. Yeah, I mean I liked what

762
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: I saw from him last year as well. So look,

763
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: there's very few young quarterbacks in this league that can

764
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: do it on their own. You know, you've got to

765
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,959
Speaker 1: be able to run it, you've got to play really

766
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: good defense. And there's a lot of young quarterbacks trying

767
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: to get their shot. Sometime it's just being in the

768
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: in the right opportunity that, you know, not throwing them away.

769
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think you know our guy Drew Lock,

770
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's we're so easy or the

771
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: league or the media so easy to throw these twenty

772
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: four twenty five year old kids like your career's over. Well,

773
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: I hadn't even begun. And so it is important, like

774
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia to have a good defense and running game,

775
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: not let these young quarterbacks have to do it all himself.

776
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: So look, it's this season is going to be to me,

777
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: there's only one great team right now, one great one.

778
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo, Buffalo. It's Buffalo. Everybody else is good. I

779
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: think San Francisco's legit. I think the Rams are gonna

780
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: have a hard time repeating. I think San Francisco the

781
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: way they played defense and with their running game and

782
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: unfortunately Jimmy Garoppolo gives them a better chance to win

783
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: it than when they had Trey Lances. All right, one

784
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: great team, he says. Hey, make sure you guys come

785
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: join us at Bellevue Square Center Court. A guy, Brandon

789
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: person right here on Hawk Slot Tip. But at one

790
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: time for my guy, yes, sir, he appreciated it. So

791
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the first thing I know is about you obviously is

792
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: your speed. And you know, growing up, I'm sure it

793
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: was the same way where you grew up. We was

794
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: always racing on the block. Was you always the fastest

795
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: dude on the block. Did you ask somebody grow up

796
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: what he used to get you? Oh? Yeah, I was

797
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: pretty fast run, but it was always guys around, you know,

798
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: was pretty fast. And then when we got to like

799
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: middle school and then in high school, that's when the

800
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: separation really started to show a little bit. I saw

801
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: I saw your stride. After you block that that field

802
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: goal against the Niners, you got up and I kid you, now,

803
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: within like twenty yards, you ate up that cushion on

804
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Mike Jack real quick. I was looking at that stride.

805
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, that's the beautiful thing. What was it

806
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: like in that moment making that block and then escorting

807
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: your boy into the end zone? So it feel good?

808
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: It was like one of those games where it was

809
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: one of those you know, nothing wasn't really going. It

810
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: was rainy two kind of cold, and you know a

811
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: player had to be made and when the when the

812
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: when the chance presented. So she blocked the field goal

813
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: and Mike Jack took off and I was just happy

814
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: for him, and I just tried to chase him. And

815
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: I've seen the kicker almost catch them too, so I

816
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: tried to get the kicker for once the kicker miss

817
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna get that talk down. Are

818
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: you talking during that moment? Because I remember me my

819
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: boys were talking were going to the zone. Baby. We

820
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: talked about are you just hand up just signing that score?

821
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, I was screaming from dude.

822
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm always happy with my teammates do something good. So

823
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: when whenever we was running down there, I was screaming

824
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: for him, and then we just turned up in the

825
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: end zone. What's up? You know what's crazy about that play? So,

826
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we can go back forty years. Guys coming

827
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: off the edge try to block extra points and fuel goals,

828
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of quick guys coming around the edge.

829
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: But you gotta get so low around that edge that

830
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: you can be there. But the ball gets up so fast.

831
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: You're the arm Lenk's not. You just don't have enough

832
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: to it. You come around the edge and you you're

833
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: six foot four plus. By the way, I played safety.

834
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: I never had a corner taller than me, and he's

835
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: six foot four play. I feel like a midget to him.

836
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, your wingspan is awfully long. Have you

837
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: blocked field goals before in the past? That's my second one?

838
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: Is it? In college? We used to had a thing

839
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 1: called the Jumpers fact is where he's a bill against

840
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 1: the kicker days the kickfield goals low. And we played

841
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: against Marshall and I was like a sophomore. I was

842
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: a receiver at the time still, and I just jumped

843
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: up and I have blocked it. Let's I know you've

844
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: told the story, but let's bring the audience into this.

845
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: When you you came to Texas San Antonio and you

846
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: were a wide receiver. I'm assuming that was in high

847
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: school as well, so you make that transition. But you're

848
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: about two years into it, your sophomore year, and one

849
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: of the coach said, nope, I want you to try

850
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: out for a corner. Can you just tell us or

851
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: tell the honest here just what that was like and

852
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: how much you may have resisted, or we're open to it.

853
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: So I really didn't want to do it at all.

854
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: He asked me to do it, and I was like, nah, coach,

855
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm a receiver. I came to college as a receiver.

856
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: He was like, well, I know you haven't been playing

857
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: as much as you want and we can really use

858
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: you on the team. You're pretty athletic. So I tritted

859
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: out at practice, and even though I was doing good

860
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: at it, I was like, nah. I didn't want to

861
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: say nothing. I just always played offense, and whenever I

862
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: got the chance of like the last game between nineteen

863
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: and I have played that one game at cornerback. And

864
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: then COVID had happened. We had got new coaches and

865
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: asked me, don't play receiver of corner and I just

866
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: told him I want to play corner. So what do

867
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: you like better? Now? Old corner making money playing corner now? Baby, Look, really,

868
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: it's it's almost historic. I mean, you just don't get

869
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Richard Sherman did a little bit when he

870
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: was at Stanford, and obviously he developed and started as

871
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 1: well the middle of his rookie year. I believe to

872
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: be a start of your rookie year after transition from

873
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver corner really haven't happened one year with it.

874
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's almost historic. And it's not just

875
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: sad you guys watch him. I mean, he's gonna be

876
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: a great player. He's already a very good player. But

877
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a great player, thank you. So any

878
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: other sports you play in high school? Always love asking

879
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: us because as a football player, we all think we

880
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: can hoop, and then all hoopers think they can play football.

881
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go out and say, you probably play

882
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: a little hoop, especially with your size. Oh yeah, I

883
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: have played basketball, and I ran track whenever a basketball

884
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: season came around. I did it for fun. I thought

885
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: I was a hooper before football, and whenever a coach

886
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: from the college came up and he was like, Hey,

887
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: you can't play basketball in college and your six three

888
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: to six four and still carry six three, you're gonna

889
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: be a goal And I was like, oh, you're right,

890
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: because I can't shoot the ball. Even though you were

891
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: all district in high school basketball, weren't you. Oh? Yes,

892
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: because we've had Charles Cross who said I think he

893
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: was a two times shape, but we had Abe Lucas

894
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: who said he can flat out play too. We got

895
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: you all district. This might be the best rookie back

896
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: though I've not had a guy we ever on our

897
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: show didn't say they couldn't pour? So who's who's the

898
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: best basketball player? Because they they have a basketball hoop

899
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: and uh with the team right yeah, in the team

900
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: room where I haven't had a chance. They haven't made

901
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: you shoot yet. Oh not yet, not yet, but god,

902
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: I got a good jump shot, as Mike Jackson Kylie

903
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: Locke thinks she's who pretending talk like he got a note?

904
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: You can shoot? So what's it like on the field, man?

905
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen your personality come out a

906
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: bit more, you know what I'm saying. I feel obviously

907
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: we can't hear what's going on I'm just looking at

908
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: body language, and you know, I see like flex a

909
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: little bit after after a playout there, you getting comfortable

910
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: out there a little bit. I'll just call it having fun. Really,

911
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just any guys, so on our flegs.

912
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: It ain't much showing, but I'll just do it because

913
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm just having fun out there. And whenever you make

914
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: plays and your teammates just keep getting confidence in you,

915
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: and then helped build confidence in me too. So you

916
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: switch from you were thirty nine at first and you

917
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: switched it to seven. Is there something behind it or

918
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: at number was available? You said, I'm going to grab

919
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 1: that a little bit. You know, when I first got

920
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: drafted and I've seen thirty nine, I was like, I

921
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: take I'm an rick y'all, and I don't really just

922
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: ask so much. I feel like sometimes you gotta earn

923
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: some stuff. And just like in college, whenever I first

924
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: moved a corner, I was number twenty, and then my

925
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: senior year, I got voted into number three, so I

926
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: just kind of was like, you know, I just gotta

927
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: earn another number. And after the fall account and preseason games,

928
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: so I felt like I played pretty good and I

929
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: had asked to get twenty seven. There we go. Grab it. Yeah.

930
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: In the NFL, man, they uh, you're not just paid

931
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: to cover, you gotta you gotta play in the run

932
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: game too. And I'm taking back to the Denver game

933
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: where he came and made made that big hit and

934
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: he looked like, did you get a stinger? Was shot

935
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: down your neck and shoulder? It was down my shoulder.

936
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: That was my first one. Oh man. Yeah, I hope

937
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: hopefully you don't get used to those. Those are no,

938
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: they aren't fun. But what has been the most difficult

939
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: transition going from college to the NFL is being a

940
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: part of the run game or it's just still covering

941
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: those guys out wide. A little bit of both, because

942
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: now in this run game, you're gonna get some dudes,

943
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: some big guys. Rather me in college, I was going

944
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: against commas juice say the competition. I mean, it's not

945
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: a bad conference, but it ain't you know, NFL guys

946
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: to come from secs and all the different schools, but

947
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: the same as you know, receivers and running roules and

948
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that, guys running rules a lot more sharper. Now,

949
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: what's the what's the transition been like because in college,

950
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, you wake up, you got way training, you

951
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: got class, you got practice, like you're on a on

952
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: a strict schedule. And I know when I made it

953
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: to Lack now I loved it. I'm like, I can

954
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: just play football, you know, I can just focus on

955
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: being football. Uh. What has that transition been like for you? Um,

956
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: It's been smooth because you do have a lot more

957
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: time now. I remember in college I used to wake

958
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: up and go to practice, and that practice I'll be

959
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: thinking about some homework I didn't finished the like before.

960
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: So it's been pretty smooth. Man. I like it because

961
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: I noticed me changing as a you know, as a

962
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: cornerback and just learning the plays a lot more easy,

963
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: and just because I have more time to focus on football.

964
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: Who you kick it with? I kick it with a

965
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: lot of guys, and I'm pretty chill. I kicked it

966
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: with Shoe, a guy that's a free agent that came

967
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: into the team, Quandre Mosley Hill, Rooky Shoe, Jamal. You

968
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: know most of the dbs really, but you know or

969
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: shop opinion. I'm cool into so I try to chat

970
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: with all the different guys and stuff, just so they

971
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: can be comfortable around me. Ye who have the weather's

972
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: ten fronton Texas, that's for sure. You don't have to

973
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: worry about bugs here. You can keep your windows open.

974
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: It's all nice. But the big bugs too there. And

975
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: they have the weather so you know, a little humid

976
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: at times. But if you found anything you like to

977
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: do here in the Northwest, it you wouldn't have done

978
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: in Texas. They do have a lot of beautiful sights

979
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: out here. Texas isn't as green as you know Seattle

980
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: or the state of Washington in general. And another thing

981
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: is the summer here is real nice. Because I went

982
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: back home to visit and I was sweating so hard

983
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: I can't and while I'm here and I came here,

984
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: I really sweat it at all. So I just love

985
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: the nature and I just love how the trees are

986
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: super big too. Food's a little different too. Bars are

987
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: definitely differently. Got all kinds of outside bars there in Texas.

988
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: But there any food, I mean, obviously, seafood's big up here?

989
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: Are you no no no good on the people at all?

990
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: Says I don't even like it. Canna be Friday, it

991
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: canna be wrong, And I don't know I see food

992
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: at all. I don't touch it. I feel you. Man.

993
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: I go down to visit my family and Biloxi and

994
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: we'll go to the buffet and I'm the dude grabbing pizza.

995
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: They're like, man, we had a seafood buffet and you're

996
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: grabbing pizza. I just that That's just how I operate. Man.

997
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: So what's it. You're entering your your third week in

998
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. Has the game slowed down for you? And

999
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: do you feel like your technique is kind of it's

1000
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: like catching up to what's happening in front of you.

1001
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's been a pretty cool transition because it's

1002
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: just these three games. Was about to be the third game.

1003
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: It's been going about pretty fast. So just being more

1004
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: comfortable in the game, it's something I have been feeling

1005
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: because I feel like to the coaches trust me even

1006
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: more out there just because I made plays and I

1007
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: just gotta keep doing it and just keep gaining the

1008
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: trusting my teammates and this third game should be a

1009
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of fun. So I just just keep trusting himself. Well,

1010
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: you can see the confidence in you everywhere that night.

1011
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: I was really impressed. After Denver. You know, a couple

1012
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: of things may have not gone right, but that you

1013
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't wave around that man, You were right back in there.

1014
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: And look, they're gonna try you every week. Something new.

1015
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: Last week more deep outs, right, they said, Hey, he's

1016
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: a hard guy to beat over the top and crossing around.

1017
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: So every week's the new weeks. To stay confident, man,

1018
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: because you are a really good player. It'll be fun

1019
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: to watch. Keep collecting that data. Baby. All right, it's

1020
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: Tarik Willing clapp at one time for the starting corner

1021
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. All right, when we returned, we'll go

1022
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: inside the field. Word, we're gonna break down Deevil Samuel's run,

1023
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: dwells touchdown, and then Trek Willing's block plunt that's right

1024
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: here on Hawkslide. Right now, we're gonna put our coach's

1025
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: hat on and try to diagnose what we saw. The

1026
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: first player we're gonna look at de Bill Samuel runs

1027
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: for fifty one yards on second and eight in the

1028
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: first quarter. Samuel stays in the backfield, lance out of

1029
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: the shotgun. On second down and eight from his own

1030
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: twenty six. He takes the snap, hands it to Samuel,

1031
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 1: who has a man to beat. He does, cuts back inside,

1032
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: got a big run going. He's across midfield being chased.

1033
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: Come the Seahawks catch him. They finally left, excuse me,

1034
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: their right guard and right tackle like they're going to

1035
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 1: run a trap to our right. And so Trey Lance,

1036
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 1: I think, actually messes us up. I think he should

1037
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: have kept the ball because he would have been out

1038
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: the gate or at least you know, he would have

1039
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: probably picked up five to eight yards. Look, this one

1040
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: to me is just on sam It is such a

1041
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: great run. He sticks his right foot down and you know,

1042
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: Darryl Tayl would love for him to make this tackle

1043
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: because if he did, it would be about a three

1044
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: to five yard actually it would have been a six

1045
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: yard loss. And said it was a fifty one yard game,

1046
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: So it's fifty seven yard Dener on this. And then

1047
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's just you know, poor pursuit by us.

1048
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: We overrun it. I will say this. You know Tarik One,

1049
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: who we just had on, Oh my god, he can run.

1050
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean he came from the far side line and

1051
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: ran down Samuel who can run, and he was out

1052
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: wide open. I mean it was kind of like DK

1053
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, catching Buddha Baker a few years ago from Arizona.

1054
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: So I look, it's a to me. This is just

1055
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: a great individual performance by Samuel and we just didn't

1056
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: play it very well. Yeah. I look at that guard

1057
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: in that tackle pool and how it affects Jordan Brooks

1058
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: and Cody Barney gets them to bite up and really

1059
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: allow those guards in that backside tackle to get bodies

1060
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: on bodies, and that's what you want in the box, right,

1061
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: And then you look at a tin in the backfield

1062
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: just in great position, doesn't make the tackle. Deebo Samuel

1063
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: is one of the best in the game. I'm mekan.

1064
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: Guys miss and yards after contact. That's why it's so

1065
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: important that you get bodies over there, right. You know,

1066
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: you need more hats to get to the party. And

1067
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll talked to about them all this week. I look,

1068
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: we gotta get off the blots and we got to

1069
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: get more guys to the ball carrier. This is a

1070
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: prime example of that. We just talked to Tree Willin.

1071
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: You mentioned him man, he ran him down. He made

1072
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: Debo look like he was just a large player on

1073
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: a Friday. DK met Fetcalf catching Bruda Baker a few

1074
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: years ago from behind like that. And look this second

1075
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: cut by Samuel. The guys aren't seeing it, but go

1076
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: watch this. It's the second cut that's so brilliant, and

1077
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: he just splits our defense and then he has the

1078
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: vision to bring it back up the middle. It's look.

1079
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: I think it's just a great performance by one guy.

1080
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: And I would love for our guy to have made

1081
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: the tack on the backfield, but sometimes it happens. All Right,

1082
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: this next player, we're gonna break down. Jimmy g finds

1083
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: Dwelly the tight end for the nine is four a

1084
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard touchdown. Davis pricing a tailback play fake

1085
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: to him. Garoppolo looks got a man wide open, turning

1086
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: up feel down in the ten to the five fights

1087
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: his way Dwelly the tight end. He is in for

1088
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Somebody completely lost coverage on the tight end

1089
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: crossing the field. It's a thirty eight yard touchdown to

1090
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: the tight end Ross Dwelling. As we talked about, Garoppolo

1091
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: isn't gonna run the beach it, but boy, he knows

1092
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: this offense and he control the ball all the money,

1093
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: and he did that time and the forty nine ers

1094
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: increased their lead now twelve nothing over the Seahawks. Looking

1095
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 1: to make it thirteen. Boy, I tell you what man

1096
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: coaching's hard. This play is such a good scheme play Offensively,

1097
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:32,479
Speaker 1: First of all, it looks like we're blitzing five guys.

1098
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: It looks like we've got our safety on the right

1099
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: side who's coming off the corner. So five guys are coming,

1100
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: so I can't tell if we're playing a combo man

1101
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: zone behind it, so I can't call anybody out. But

1102
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: what they did on this is they cleared our corner

1103
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: out with kind of a skinny post, so they occupied

1104
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: both our free safety and our right corner. And then

1105
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: they brought the tight end down the seam and he

1106
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: faked like he was either going to run an inner

1107
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: a post, and also and he broke it to what

1108
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: I call a short corner or an out or a

1109
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: deep out route from that position. I look, I don't

1110
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 1: know how you stop it. The one thing I would

1111
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: have loved have seen as our linebacker on that one,

1112
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: maybe get a little depth and try to hold off

1113
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: the guy who was running the swing route to our right.

1114
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: But if they knew this play was coming and that

1115
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: play is designed, I would probably teach on this one. Normally,

1116
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: what we teach is if you get a skinny post,

1117
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: the free safety in the corner, one of you has

1118
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: to come off of that and look for that route,

1119
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: usually a deep crosser or in this case, that tight

1120
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: end running kind of a corner route. It takes a

1121
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: lot of practice, and they ran it so good. I

1122
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: don't know if we would have stopped it. I think

1123
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: we could have stopped it from it not being a touchdown,

1124
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: but there's no way we would have stopped it with

1125
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: the defense we ran for that catch. Yeah, I think

1126
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: the corners should have broke off of the post and

1127
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: got on that deep uble. When that corner sees that

1128
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: inside release by the side end, mentally he's like, all right,

1129
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: that's no longer mine. But yeah, I'm going to pass

1130
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: them all. And this is a young corner over there. Right.

1131
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: You got to keep your eyes in the back. But

1132
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: that's the advantage of playing the zone is that you're

1133
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: allowed to use your eyes. Right, you have to feel

1134
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: and see what's going on here, but your peripherals got

1135
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: to take you there. Easier said than done. Well, again,

1136
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: there we're rushing five guys, so what I don't know. Again,

1137
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: that's why I can't call anybody out. I don't know

1138
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: if we're playing a man's own combo. Are we spot

1139
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: dropping three guys underneath and we're playing three deep behind it?

1140
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: That's what I think. Yeah, so, and you're right. If

1141
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: that's the case, then you'd want to teach, you know,

1142
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: Tarik in that situation. Hey, skinny post, you gotta communicate

1143
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: on it. It's a hard play. I mean, that is

1144
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 1: a fantastic design play. Yep, yep, tough play. Okay, this

1145
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: last play, Tarik Wooup blocks a field goal and Mike

1146
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: jack picks it up and runs it back for a touchdown.

1147
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: He has one of twenty and one of thirty three already.

1148
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: There's a snap and it's blocked. I think it's Trek

1149
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: one coming the other way, sprinting down the nearest sideline.

1150
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. They're not gonna get him. Forty thirty hand

1151
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: goes up ten five touchdowns, Seahawks. What a play. Woolen

1152
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: blocks it, Jackson picks it up and goes about eighty

1153
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: yards with it for a touchdown, and the Seahawks are

1154
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: finally on the board with an incredible play by the

1155
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: special teams. That's just we had Trek wolling on earlier

1156
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: and when you're that fast coming off the corner with

1157
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: his wingspan he has, you're gonna get some of these blocks.

1158
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 1: I've seen guys come off the edge where they're they're there,

1159
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're lined up with the kick, but because

1160
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: they have to take it so sharp inside and they're

1161
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: so low, you know, the ball gets up in the

1162
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: air really quick, right, So they're there, but they just

1163
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 1: can't get to the ball. They're just not tall enough.

1164
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: Tarreek man, he not only is he there, he's probably

1165
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: almost a yard past it at that point, but his

1166
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: wingspans so long. I mean, they can't get that ball

1167
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 1: up over him. So he's going to be a force

1168
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: as a field goal blocker. And if he doesn't get it,

1169
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: it's going to create opportunities for the guy to go

1170
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: between that wing and tight end because if they worry

1171
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: about him coming off the age. Yeah, the best part

1172
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: is he put it on film. He showed the rest

1173
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: of the league by look and if you don't give

1174
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: me the proper attention, I will bend that corner and

1175
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: block that kick. So typically you have tight ends on

1176
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: the edges right there too, because they're the best at

1177
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: blocking and said an edge, so it should be interesting

1178
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: how the Atlanta Falcons address this. That they're going to

1179
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: spend a bit more time during practice making sure that

1180
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: those wings are ready to go. There's in the past

1181
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: you really didn't have to block the guy at the

1182
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,959
Speaker 1: end because they're out wide. Just with your alignment, the way,

1183
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: the route that they have to take, we know that

1184
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: the ball is going to be snapped within one point

1185
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: two seconds or three seconds. Most guys cannot get there.

1186
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: We have a guy who can we have that's pretty good.

1187
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Okay, Come join us here on Thursday

1204
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: served us. I guess I don't know how to say

1205
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: at Courtney Courtney, she was so nice, I mean, and

Speaker 1: go wrong with that. Paul. I can't wait for you

1210
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: to get all the names in here at the end

1211
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: and thank everybody. Why are you? Why are you put

1212
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: that on me? Lets you put that on me? All right?

1213
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: Our keys to success? How are these guys gonna win

1214
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: this goal? Man? I'll tell you one thing, Paul. They

1215
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: got they gotta play better defense, and they're gonna get

1216
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the looks that they saw against the

1217
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. The Falcons are not going to execute

1218
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: it the way that the forty nine ers executed. But

1219
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: it's nice to go out there and be able to

1220
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: correct some of the things that you saw in film.

1221
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 1: You're never as good as bad as you think you are.

1222
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: And you go back and look at this game. It

1223
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: really was about six plays, particularly in the first half,

1224
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: a couple of mis tackles. Had that one play. I

1225
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: don't even know it's a blown assignment. I thought it

1226
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: was just a really good design play by the forty

1227
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: nine ers. There one touchdown there, you had a couple

1228
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: of plays called back. We had the muff punting. You know, again,

1229
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: those things we can correct and fix. I thought our

1230
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: offensive line got some push, So I think we need

1231
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: to stick with the running game. I think we need

1232
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: do way more play action and bootlegs way more. I mean,

1233
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: it's just the empty backfield. I get it. But I

1234
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: some people said, well, there's more options. They're five guys

1235
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: out in the pass route. I go, know, there's less options.

1236
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to run the ball, you're not going

1237
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: to run a screen, you can't play action, you can't

1238
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 1: have a checkdown that there's nothing. There are less options.

1239
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to me, I'm telling you, if

1240
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: you go empty backfield, I know the ball has to

1241
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: come out quick and I'm probably gonna send five least

1242
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: at you. So I just don't like it. I want

1243
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: us to get back to will at all. Why Why

1244
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: and here's why, partly why the way we run or

1245
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: use our running backs. If it was if we had

1246
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: five wide receivers or four wide receivers and some titans,

1247
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: there's truly some threats, okay, But when I get a

1248
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: running back and a motion out wide, I go why.

1249
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: I just for me, that's just me. It's a personal thing.

1250
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It's preference. It's not a big deal. I'm probably wrong,

1251
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: but when I watched our empty backfields last week, we

1252
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of success and so and to me,

1253
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of history to that, and I

1254
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: want to be I just think having a running back

1255
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: in the backfield, when you're under center, that play action

1256
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: and that run threat, it's meaningful, meaningful to the linebackers

1257
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: you're playing against. They have to respect that and you

1258
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: can work behind them. And so I'd just like to

1259
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: see a little bit more in that. We just need

1260
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: to tackle better. I mean, everything else we're fine. We

1261
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: just need to tackle better, eliminate some of the mistakes,

1262
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 1: and let's get back to what I think we are offensively.

1263
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: Let's play a power running football game. What I need

1264
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to see are four to five shots down the field.

1265
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: I need Gino to get back there and say, I

1266
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: don't care if this dB is on number fourteen's hip.

1267
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: He is better than him. He is bigger, faster, stronger,

1268
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: and he gets paid more. So go ahead and let

1269
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: this young man make his money. Throw that thing up

1270
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: to number fourteen every now and then. You got to

1271
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: test him out. You gotta test him out and see

1272
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: if they can defend against this guy, and just allow

1273
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: him to make a play right thee that fleet flicker,

1274
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I guess you want to call a fleet flicker. He

1275
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: was covered, but you know what he did, He got

1276
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 1: a play. Now, unfortunately a blugs was down field. You

1277
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: can't have lineman on the field. We're gonna correct that

1278
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I know. Look, Washington State. Sometimes you say, hey,

1279
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: remember three yards nine feet? Okay, now you can't go there.

1280
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Name me one person in the league Arizona State right now, exactly,

1281
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Wazoo baby, I'll be talking about my boys like that,

1282
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: all right. Don't be talking about while Here's what I know.

1283
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: I got more in the league than you have right now.

1284
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: So that's all. But you can't name because I got

1285
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm mad at Arizona State right now. Okay, don't fighting

1286
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: fighting a little bit. I understand, I understand, just don't

1287
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: talk about my boy like. But I think we'll play well.

1288
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we need the crowd back into it, and um,

1289
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 1: the only thing that makes me nervous about this game

1290
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: is we don't get off to a good start and

1291
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: we start doubting ourselves. We're young, and there's that confidence thing.

1292
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Pete's very good at getting teams ready. I think we'll

1293
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: be ready for this when it's a one twenty five kickoff.

1294
