1 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: We've done something tonight. Now welcome to Seek Saturday Night, 2 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: joined by head coach Pete Carroll. Coach a perfect way 3 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: to quinch playoffs spot last week, a thrilling win, total 4 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: team effort. What stood out to you about that win? Oh, 5 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: I think everything everything about at the stadium was just 6 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: alive and pumping. Uh, players were ready to play a 7 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: great team. And Uh we went out and play like 8 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: we've been playing. And that's that's a great mark for us. 9 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't let the event of Sunday night, 10 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: or the crowd or the team that we were playing, 11 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: the matchups that you know, fit into how we were 12 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: going to play. And so I'm always most proud of 13 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: that when that happens, that final touchdown drive. What can 14 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: you say about the effort of those three different receivers 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: on different plays, David More to get the first down, 16 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett on a long touch, long grab, and also 17 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: Doug Baldin with the one handed grab of those were 18 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: those were all amazing plays. What I liked probably most 19 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: about it is Shoddy was aggressive and one after it 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: and let's go win the game, you know, and as 21 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: opposed to me holding on trying to run the clock down, 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: we went after him and Russ sensed it. He knew 23 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: it on the sidelines that we're going forward, and the 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: fellows just came through him. And every one of those 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: plays were great, you know, and we needed all of it, 26 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: but I think it was the overall approach of it. 27 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: And then the guys just coming through now and there's 28 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: nothing I love more than that. Chris Carson becomes this 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: team's first thousand yard rusher since twenty fourteen. What can 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: you say about his story going from a seventh round 31 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: draft pick to a three thousand yard rusher in just 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: the second season. Well, it's you know, it's one of 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: my favorite stories, you know, because I feel like we 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: found him, you know, and he has just been a 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: stellar performer. And last year he was playing good too, 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, until he got banged up. His style, his toughness, 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: the mentality, it's just it's just great. It's great for 38 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: the old line too. They love it. Then when I 39 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: told him that he a game a thousand ards in 40 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: the locker room, those guys roared the loudest, you know, 41 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: because they take great pride in that. So he's he's 42 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: been a great fit for us, and you know when 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: when it's you feel the whole group playing. We're pretty 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: tough from with running game. This is a chance to 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: take up double digit wins in the regular season and 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: six of your last seven years. Is that sta meaningful 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: to you? Yeah? Yeah, I like ten. Yeah, if it's 48 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: got to be, if it's got to be that low 49 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: level'll take ten. You know. So, well, see if we 50 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: can get this one knocked out. Well, speaking of meaningful stats, 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: your team only has five turnovers from Week three to fifteen. 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: That's the fewest of any team since nineteen forty. Is 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: that the most impressive stat of the year for you? 54 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: I like that stat? Yeah. I like anything that has 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: to do with turnovers that separates you from everybody else. 56 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: You know, I don't even know who was playing back 57 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: in the day. I don't even know who's going you know, 58 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: it might have been Red Grange or something that's playing 59 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: back there. But so yeah, it's a it's an impressive stat. 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a great statement about our overall 61 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: club and how they're committed to take care of the ball. 62 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: That doesn't just happen. You know, you don't luck into 63 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: that that happens because guys have taken the lessons, they've 64 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: taken it to the practice field, they've taken into the 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: game field, and they've performed with great conscience. And that's 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: it's a great tool to win. And then so I'm 67 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: really proud of that in general. I know you talked 68 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: about Chris Carson before. So many feel good stories about 69 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: individual players on this team. What are some of the 70 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: other ones that might stand out to you? Well, you can't, 71 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: you can't look past the griffs. Now, those guys who 72 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: have been amazing, they've they've they've been such good Seahawks. 73 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean just from start all the way throughout, you know, 74 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: to get the first year with Shaquiel and then Shakim 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: coming in this year and to see the mix of 76 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: the two, it's it's it's been a great story. But 77 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: it's been a great story not because it's such a 78 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: good one on the outside, because of who they are 79 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: and how they've attacked it. And they've been just tremendous 80 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: workers and great team guys and willing to do any 81 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: always good spirit, always good effort, always toughness. You know, 82 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: they've done everything. So that story it kind of steals 83 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the show. I think, one more player because he was 84 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: miked up, and we're going to hear him later on 85 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: in the show. George fan miked up last week. I 86 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: need to hear that. We're looking forward to it. We're 87 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: looking forward to hearing that, and I mean his journey 88 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: from everywhere he's been, but then to battle back from 89 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: the knee injury in the preseason last year, to play 90 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of tight end this year, and then 91 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: to write tackle last week. What can you say about him? 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: He's had a great role in this season. George has 93 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: given us the physicality in a step up you know, 94 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: you point tied into three hundred and twenty pounds. That's 95 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: hard to do with. He's really liked the role and 96 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: done well with it. He was really excited by getting 97 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: back to playing the whole game at tackle, and he 98 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: did a nice job last week. Got banged up, had 99 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: to come back and fight through it and all that. 100 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: George has been a great spirit. And I don't know 101 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: if it's going to show up in his micd up stuff, 102 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: but he's a blast. He loves playing this game and 103 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,799 Speaker 1: he's a great part of our team. Our Twitter question 104 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: and it comes from the idea that you like to 105 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: accentuate the player's creativity allowing them to be who they are. 106 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: It comes from at wabl Hawk. I've heard players like 107 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner or other veterans have some agency to freestyle 108 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: and let their instincts and experience dictate their positions and 109 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: reactions at times. If so, how do you scheme for 110 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the players around that method. That's an 111 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: interesting question. First off. The reason that players get to 112 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: the stage where they can, you know, create and and 113 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: really see if they can innovate stuff that happens on 114 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: the fields through the discipline and the hard work of it. 115 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen unless you've you've earned your way to 116 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: understand the game and how things can fit together so 117 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: that they can freely express whatever. You know, the creativity 118 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: that they have. So guys, that happens in different stages. 119 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: You know, some guys are more natural players than others, 120 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: and guys can learn and you can draw it out. 121 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: But when you're playing with guys like that, every now 122 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: and then the coaches have to say, well, yeah, he 123 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: went that way because he saw something, but you got 124 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: to do it this way, you know, so that you 125 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: do it right. So guys kind of earned their way 126 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: in that regard and they have the chance to play 127 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: uninhibited and they can you know, free flow and all 128 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: of that. That's when you're at your best. That's what happened. 129 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: So we're always trying to encourage that. But there's stages 130 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: of it, and guys got to prove it to us. 131 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: And when they do, then we kind of move lots tomorrow, alright, 132 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: Happy New Year. Injuries beforehand during the game, shuffle the 133 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: offensive line, but the big guys up front answered the call. 134 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: George Fanton is wearing the mic when Seahawks Saturday Night 135 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: continued Let's go Clay Night Football from Tim Gang. We're 136 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: don't gonna pull it out because it up. You can 137 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: hear me right now. I'm gonna have the Wilds up now.
