1
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: This is the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Ja Keeps and

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Stacy or special Wednesday edition with Thanksgiving tomorrow. Hope everyone's

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: excited now. I know we need to start with the game.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: But Dave, I actually have to call you out. I'm

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: glad you're here, Glad we're doing this now. Friends. Well, Dave,

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: it's what you didn't do, and that was have a

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: good opinion about Thanksgiving food because Jake said that the

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: best Thanksgiving dish was gravy. Jake, gravy is not a dish. No, Dave,

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: this is the problem, you guys. The answer, for instance,

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: could be stuffing. Maybe you like, uh stuffing casserole turkey

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: I would accept as an answer even though it's incredibly dry.

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: Your answer is gravy. Would you just eat turkey just

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: by itself without any gravy on it? Would you ever

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: be that insane? Would you have a potatoes by itself? Yes? No,

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean sure, but I'm just saying, like, you can't

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: eat gravy by itself? Debatable? Alright, alright, if you if you,

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: if you do so and then also have turkey chunks

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: in it, and you do it right? Oh god, you guys, Yes,

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: saying all right, well, we're gonna have Quandre diggs On

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: is the most important aspect of a Thanksgiving. By the way,

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: he agrees with your awful take, Shannon, if you're listening,

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: get corn, I go. I gotta have corn in my

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes and gravy. Love that gosh. All right, all right, well,

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: let's let's uh spend not too much time looking back

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: on this game, because it wasn't a pretty one, certainly

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: not offensively. But then we've got to look ahead to

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: the game against Washington Football, that one on Monday night.

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: So we'll start with this. The Seahawks now three and seven,

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: not a place we thought this team would be, nor

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: place they thought they would be. Um, has there been

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: a reoccurring issue that you think they can fix this year?

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I do? I think the question to me is, and

33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this on our show with on

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Wyman and Bob, what do you think they have enough talent?

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: Like Dwayne Brown is very talented, Damian Lewis is talented.

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: And look how many teams have like at every position

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: you have like exactly what you want? Not many, not many,

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: But you know, Gerald Everett, I've entirely changed my opinion

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: on Like he's like superstar status, that dude, and he

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: reflects what should happen on this team. Like the way

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: he plays, that's how everybody should play. He's angry. You

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: should be angry. You're three and seven. I love the

43
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: way he plays. I love the way Quandre Diggs plays.

44
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: Who you guys, We're going to talk to you later.

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, Jamal Adams is starting to come around. I mean,

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: you just look at the talent that you have. There's enough.

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: There's enough talent. It's just that, you know, we're Last year,

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: they were saying the same thing on defenses. Hey we're

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: not playing together. You know, we need to get it together.

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: We need But it eventually came together, and I just

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting. I'm still waiting for them to you know.

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: And I know that they've had a couple of good

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: games where things have repaired a little bit, but they

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: don't have the takeaways, they don't have the sacks. You

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: know that. And the reason why they're so good turnover

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: ratio because they're you know, and the positive side is

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: because the offense is taken care of the ball. Yeah,

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: so at least the one good thing that they are

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: doing right. You look at this from an offensive perspective

60
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: as well, and right now they have no identity, They

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: have no thing that they truly hang their hat on

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: in regards to you know, whether it's the running game,

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: whether it's the quarterback and Russell Wilson, whether it's the

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: style in which they play. Are they a you know,

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: are they a tempo team? Like? What are they? And

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: that to me is being in between is the worst

67
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: thing that you could possibly be offensively. And with these

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: next seven games, that's what they've got to establish. They've

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: got to find something that, hey, this is what we

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: do well, this is what we think we can do.

71
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: And Shane Waldron, this is what you were brought in

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: here to do, and establish that over these next seven

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: games and really go for it. That to me is

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: what I'm going to be looking at. And Dave, you know,

75
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: one of the things that we've been talking about is

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: the aspect of You've always talked about being physical, playing violently.

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: I see it from you know, stylistically, approach wise, you know,

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: going from being passive, being tentative, trying to survive through

79
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: a game rather than thrive in a game, and being

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: the aggressor you know whether that's offense or defense. Let

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: me ask you guys a question. Is Alex Collins good

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: enough to win with I think so? Yeah? You think so? Yeah.

83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: I think he's really talented. But I think that Pete

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: Carroll's offense is best suited to a running back like Carson. Yeah. Well,

85
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously I'd love to have Carson. I

86
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: just I think Alex Collins has talented it off Yeah,

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: I think he I think you can win with him.

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: And you know that they didn't really I mean Pete

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: talked about after the Green Bay game, I think they

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: had seventeen carries instead of eleven, so didn't really get

91
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: to that. You know, nice blend and member going into

92
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: that game Arizona, that's what they have going. They were

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: like four plays away from being perfectly balanced. And the Seahawks,

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, time of possession is way askew and then

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: and that has to do with the running game. But

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: so as you know, the run pass, it's you know,

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: it needs to get more back to even so, and

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: I do think Alex Collins is good enough to win

99
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: games and certainly to beat the Washington football team. He's

100
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: good enough. Let's talk about the Washington football team. They're

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: coming off of two wins. Seahawks going to be a

102
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: one point underdog there at FedEx Field. Washington is coming

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: off a win Week ten over Tampa Bay in Week

104
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 1: eleven over Carolina. This is a bit of a different

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: team than we saw last year. They're a bit better

106
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: on offense, not as good on defense. What are the

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks in store for here? Well, I personally, from what

108
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: I see is Taylor Heinik, their quarterback, is playing really well. Dave,

109
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: I describe him as a younger, more athletic version of

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. I just he is such a hot and

111
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: cold quarterback in this league. And when he's hot, he

112
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: can pick up first downs with his legs. He's willing to,

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, make some risky throws and and uh it

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: and is going for it and can really really be

115
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: effective in this league. But there are times where obviously

116
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: if you rattle him, you get to him, you can

117
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: do that easily and effectively. He will look like a

118
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in this league. And so that to me

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: is one thing that really is going to be the

120
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: key for the defense. And then offensively, you know, Dave,

121
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: you talked about you know, the balance in this game.

122
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a unique challenge for them because the

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: one thing that Washington, the Washington football team does well

124
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: is their run defense. They're one of the best rush

125
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: defenses in the league this year and they're one of

126
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: the worst passing defenses in the league this year. So

127
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see how that ends up coming

128
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: together for this offense. But they are going to need

129
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: to try and test that rush defense for Washington. Yeah,

130
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and you know, you look at the two defensive ends

131
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Montez Sweat and Chase Young guys both out. And you know,

132
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: but remember last year going in there, they had like

133
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: four they had actually five first rounders on their defensive line.

134
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the gay Ryan the guy who

135
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: was not starting anyway, Rigan Kerrigan, thank you, and he

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: was a first rounder as well. But a couple of

137
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: injuries there. But you know, this is a typical Ron

138
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: Rivera team. They're good at the line of scrimmage, right,

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Their rush defense is, as you mentioned, number six, and

140
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: then their their run game is is pretty decent. It's

141
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: it's number ten. So yeah, I think it's going to

142
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: be one of those punch you in the mouth type

143
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: of games. And that's where we talk about being physical.

144
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: You know, where do you and you said hang your

145
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: hat offensively? Where what about defensively? You know, I've been

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: saying this for two weeks. It's is it sacks? No?

147
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Is it takeaways? No? And so what what's it going

148
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: to be? You know it's going to be it's got

149
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: to be Look, hit people, hit people. Start there and

150
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: then you know, and be more physical and then you know,

151
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: that's where you win at the line of scrimmage, because

152
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: that's what it's going to be like in this game.

153
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: Is there a way you can incorporate that into a

154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: passing attack? Because Washington has ranked twenty eighth against the pass,

155
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: and I guess you just hope that Seattle doesn't take

156
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the same approach it did against the number one Saints

157
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: running defense, where it just felt like they were running

158
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: into a wall. All of a sudden, they're targeting DK

159
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Metcalf late in the game, and you realize that's good.

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, how do they mix it up a little

161
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: bit more than they did in that loss, because you're

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: once again facing a good run defense. It's not that

163
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: you can't run the ball, but how do they mix

164
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: it up just a bit more. I know this flies

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: in the face of normal, conventional football, but I'm just

166
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: tired of the idea at this point in the season,

167
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this group becoming a well efficient,

168
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, turned around third down offense. I don't think

169
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: they're going to be that. Could they be? It would

170
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: that be great to see in the final seven games? Yeah?

171
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: It would. And so to avoid that situation with the Saints,

172
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: what I would say is is that what do you

173
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: do well offensively? What does your quarterback do well offensively?

174
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: This year? Statistically, he does really well in play action

175
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: pass and he is the best quarterback in terms of

176
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: in terms of yard per attempt on first down. He

177
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: is also first in generating first downs on first down.

178
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? I believe that what they

179
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: need to do on first and second down is they

180
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: need to be a little bit more aggressive in terms

181
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: of passing the football and then incorporating the run game.

182
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: So does it And when I say that is the

183
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: best way, the best recipe is to avoid third downs

184
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: much as possible for this offense. And you have to

185
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: while doing that, keep the running game connected. And I

186
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: agree Dave that the amount of carries that Alex Collins

187
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: gets is going to be very important. But you can't

188
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: have the approach that you did against the Saints where

189
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna line up in heavy personnel and you're gonna

190
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: play a smash mouth football Offensively. You've got to you've

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: got to be creative in your run game. You've got

192
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: to you've got to use the passing game to set

193
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: up the run game in this circumstance, which flies in

194
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: the face of conventional football. But I think that, that, unfortunately,

195
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: is where they're at offensively to really try and get

196
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: something sparked and get something going. All Right, we're gonna

197
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: have Robert Turbin joining us for a preview of this game.

198
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Steve Rabel, voice of the Seahawks. We're gonna have an

199
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: opponent preview, Pete Carroll. You'll hear from him at the podium.

200
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: Very excited, also to talk to Quandre Diggs. He'll join

201
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: us later this hour, coming up at twelve forty five.

202
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: So let's not wait anymore. We'll get to Pete Carroll's

203
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: press conference to take you there live next. So if

204
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: you're looking at what Washington's offense brings, you got a

205
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: different quarterback this year, at least for your regular starter.

206
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: You saw Heineke last year with them, But you've got

207
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver. They're they're hot on a two

208
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: game win streak. You've got I don't know if j. D.

209
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: McKissick is healthy, but he's been solid for them. I mean,

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: what are we looking at here with this group? Yeah,

211
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: he's got he's played in ten games. I missed that guy.

212
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: He's great, he really is. And he's got one hundred

213
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: and eighty two yards rushing, but he also catches the ball. Um,

214
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: he's their second leading receiver. He's got three hundred and

215
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: seventy one yards. So yeah, and and heinik here interested

216
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: to here from you, Jake that you know he looks

217
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: like I mean, he's what sixty six percent completion and

218
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns, nine interceptions, been sacked twenty two times. But

219
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's he's gotten it done. Um, it's

220
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: been it's been fun watching that kid. He's got a

221
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of moxie and you see him getting fired up

222
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: on the and he's a he's a leader on this team,

223
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: he really is. And he's somebody that has made the

224
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: most of his opportunity and and when you look at

225
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: him play, I mean, like I said before, I really

226
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: believe that he is a younger, more athletic version of

227
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. And I say that in a compliment, not

228
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: a negative. And so you see during the year where

229
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: he's really struggled. He's made some really bad turnovers throughout

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: the year, but the last couple of games he has

231
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: been absolutely on fire. He's been throwing in rhythm, he's

232
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: been trusting his eyes, understanding his outlets, understanding where he

233
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: needs to go with the football, um and getting the

234
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: ball to his playmakers. And one of the other things

235
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: that's very underrated about Heineke is his legs. He is

236
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: a mobile guy. He is somebody that with everything covered

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: that he can take off and make you pay and

238
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: and really um convert with first down. So I think

239
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: that when you have somebody like that that is playing confidently,

240
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: that is feeling like they're in rhythm, they they their

241
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: play heightens even more and they're willing to, uh, you know,

242
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: throw into tighter coverages and really force the issue, and

243
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: that gives you opportunities as a Seahawk defense to maybe

244
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: come up with some turnovers. But if he's on rhythm

245
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: and he's feeling it. He's gonna be a problem. He's

246
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem for the Seahawks defense because there's

247
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: enough playmakers on this Washington football offense that he has

248
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: to distribute the football too, from receivers, tight ends, running backs.

249
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: So this can quickly become a unique challenge in Dave.

250
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: One of the other things you talk about physicality. Washington

251
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: football team's got a really good offensive line. Yeah, at

252
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: the at the line of scrimmageon that's really the way

253
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: um Ron Rivera has has built this team. And that's

254
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: the way he builds teams. It's kind of interesting. Um,

255
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's the sort of the become the face

256
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: of that franchise, and that's a This is a troubled franchise,

257
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: you know, with the owner and all of the things

258
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: that have gone on there. And I gotta say they

259
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: brought in the right guy. I mean, Ron Rivera. I

260
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know this. I played against

261
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: him in college. He was a Cal linebacker and UM

262
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: and actually during the Big Game one time tell this

263
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: story probably every year every time I talk about Ron Rivera.

264
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: But there was a fight on the sidelines and I

265
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: went running over there like I was gonna be a

266
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: tough guy. I was like a sophomore at Stanford and

267
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm come come running over there, and he turns and

268
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: looks at me and goes go back to your sidelines.

269
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, sir, turning, I tailed it back.

270
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: But he just has that kind of command. And I

271
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: really looked up to him because like at that time,

272
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: it was Jack del Rio was in the USC, right,

273
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: Dwayne Bickett, and then you know there was Ron Rivera

274
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: at Cal and so yeah, I always looked up to him.

275
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: And I know he was a big part of that

276
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Chicago team. I mean he didn't play a ton, he

277
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: was a linebacker there, but you know, just he has

278
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: that kind of command. And then you know he beats

279
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: cancer and you see that whole thing, and you know

280
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: he really has He's become like that's the guy you

281
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: want when you think of the Washington football team. You

282
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: don't want to think about Dan Snyder. You want to

283
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: think Ron Rivera is our guy, all right, and joining

284
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: us right now is Quandre Digs safety for the Seattle Seahawks. Obviously,

285
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: I Quandre, how are you? I'm good, I'm good. How

286
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: you guys doing We're fantastic. I'm actually really excited for

287
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: this interview because we heard from your teammate that you're

288
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: a talker, and not just a talker, but like a NonStop,

289
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: never ending trash talker. Can you confirm, I wouldn't confirm now.

290
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: It depends. It depends on the day. I don't know, Quandre.

291
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what this is what Ryan Neil

292
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: had to say on with Us. Does he talk as

293
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: much trash in person as he does on Twitter? Because

294
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: he's don't stop, you don't stop. It's twenty post seven.

295
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if Quandre were to get put in the caskie,

296
00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: you'll probably hear mumbling from the fast that's false, that's false.

297
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I talked trash to him, but only that's only him,

298
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: old me him, Okay, Quandre, I like to think that

299
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: you talk trash to the people that deserve it, right,

300
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: no question, if you you know, if you was, if

301
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: you if you're chilling like myself, and then I don't

302
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: have to say nothing to you. But you know, you

303
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: get to talking a little too much. I had to

304
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: talk trash to you, well, Quandre, I thought I was

305
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: chilling on my drive back one day one Friday, and

306
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: it's tweeting at me. He's saying that, you know, posting

307
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: videos of me throwing interceptions to him. I'm like, what

308
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: did I do? I thought we were cool? Hey man, hey,

309
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, just a little love out there. You know,

310
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: it popped up on my time hot. I just had

311
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: to make it be known, you know, hey, Quandre, you know,

312
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, getting to you know, the football side of things. Man.

313
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: I know that this has been you know, up and

314
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: down ride and everything else. But you know, where are

315
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: you guys at. What are the conversations you guys having

316
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: as you're looking at the final seven games and what

317
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: you guys are really wanting to accomplish. I mean, right now,

318
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: it's just take it one week at a time, you

319
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You can't you can't put your

320
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: head down, you know, and and talk about it because

321
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: the team we play this week they don't really care.

322
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: So for us, you know, it's just one week at

323
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: a time, one step at a time, one day at

324
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: a time, and just let whatever plays out plays out.

325
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I think we have an upbeat M

326
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: upbeat H vibe going to us and we know that

327
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: we could play better than we've been playing and hopefully

328
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: we can get this thing turned around this week on

329
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. Hey, Quandre, you're no stranger to making interceptions.

330
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: You've been leading this team, and you're leading the team

331
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: right now. You're closing in on matching a career high,

332
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: which is all very exciting to watch. But has there

333
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: ever been a pick that you made where you caught

334
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: it and thought, I can't believe I just made this pick.

335
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: Did that happen for sure? Um? I like to consider

336
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: myself a playmaker, so you know, I don't want to

337
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: be one of those guys that that's surprise when I

338
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: catch the ball, you know what I mean. I think

339
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: every opportunity to balls in my direction, I think it's

340
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: the ball is for me. So, UM, I wouldn't say

341
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I've normally been surprised. I think probably my first interception

342
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: of my career, I would I caught it and I

343
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: just kind of turned around and looked to make sure

344
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't any flags on the play because that's happened

345
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: to me before. And I got my my interception called back.

346
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: What was your favorite pick that you've made? Oh, I

347
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: would say probably my most difficult pick. I wouldn't say

348
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: my favorite. My most difficult pick was I want to

349
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: say twenty eighteen with the Lions my first year in

350
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: four year safety against the Rams. It was like a

351
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: post ball. We were in quarters and golfed through it

352
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: to Brandon Cooks and I caught the ball by like

353
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: the back of the ball, you know, I mean one

354
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: of those difficult catches, like kind of like the one

355
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon caught against Carolina a few years ago. I

356
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: caught it like that. Yeah, yeah it was. It was

357
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: a real difficult catch, but you know, I try to

358
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: make it make it look easy. Well. I hope the

359
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: one that you had against the Rams this year where

360
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: you you caught the one from Matt Stafford and toe

361
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: tapped on the sideline, you got the two feet in.

362
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: I hope you were telling the receiver's pro feed on

363
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: that one. Oh, no question. It's crazy because Calvin Johnson

364
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: texted me out of the game it was like, that's

365
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I used to always make a

366
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: joke with Calvin and be like, these hands are second

367
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: to none and that includes you, and you used to

368
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: always laugh at me, and you know, I mean, it's

369
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 1: cool when you know Hall of Famer, one of your

370
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: former teammates texts you out of the game and you know,

371
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of congratulate you on the pick. Yeah, that's awesome, man.

372
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, Quandre, this is something you talked about in

373
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: the off season, and you know, I'm gonna hype you

374
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: up here a little bit, so you don't need to

375
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: necessarily respond to this. But in my opinion, you have

376
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: been the best defensive player on this team in terms of,

377
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, being on your p's and ques uh, you know,

378
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: the leadership, everything that you've brought into the Seattle Seahawks

379
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: this year. And you talked about in the offseason how

380
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: you know you didn't get a lot of the credit

381
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: you deserve and rankings and different things. And one of

382
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: the things I loved hearing you say was, look, the

383
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: film doesn't lie. I watched the film. I know what

384
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I do. I know what I put on tape, everybody

385
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: else sees it. You know what kind of pride does

386
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: that have for you when you are putting a good

387
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: product on tape. I mean, it's it's my name, you

388
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean, That's what I played for. And

389
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I played for, my play

390
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: for my teammates, I play for you know, God, of

391
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: course I play for my family, but I play for

392
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: my name, you know what I mean. I can't go

393
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: out there and hold the last name Digs and know

394
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: that means something to my family. And you know, put

395
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: poor tape on film and you know, you have a

396
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: bad game here and there, and then you just bounce

397
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: back and you know, you make sure it doesn't happen again.

398
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: So for me, you know, I mean, it's really important

399
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: to go out there each and every week, put that

400
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: on tape and let guys know that. You know what

401
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just not a one dimensional safety. You know,

402
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: I can do everything, and that's running an alley, you know,

403
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: that's creating turnovers, you know what I mean. That's bringing

404
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: intensity and leading my team and lining guys up and

405
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: doing certain things like that. You know, I want to

406
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: be a guy that's looked up on as my teammates

407
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: know what I'm what I'm gonna doing, what I'm gonna

408
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: be each and every week. Hey, Quandre, you mentioned Calvin

409
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: Johnson texting you after one of those picks, And speaking

410
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: of Calvin Johnson, I remember this story coming out that

411
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: was making the rounds where DK Metcalf gets a little frustrated,

412
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: a little, a little bothered by a coach telling him, Hey,

413
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: maybe you can be as good as him one day.

414
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: But do you think he gets as mad if a

415
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: coach tells DK, hey maybe you can have hands as

416
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: good as Quandre one day, Because that, to me, that's

417
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: quite flatter. Oh man, I think somebody should tell him

418
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: that he should. I guarantee you he wouldn't like that. Man.

419
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: That's the last thing we need defeat the Quandre all right,

420
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: all right, well, thank you so much for joining us. Man,

421
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: have a wonderful Thanksgiving and good luck on Monday. Man,

422
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: it's been fun watching you this season, no doubt. Thank

423
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: you guys for having me. Y'all have a happy Thanksgiving.

424
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: Off you too, Quandre? All right, we still got Pete

425
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Carroll coming up later in the show. He's a blast.

426
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: I would love for someone to be like, you know,

427
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: Quander or you know DK. What you're doing is fine,

428
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: But have you ever thought about watching Quandre's tape? Just

429
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: just watch the toe taps, you know what I mean,

430
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: the catches. It's unbelievable. The chemistry between Quandre and quarterback,

431
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. All right, don't go anywhere more of the

432
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: Huddle coming your way. Next. This is the Huddle with

433
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. Pete Carroll speaking

434
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: with reporters. Will take you there live now. On this

435
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: holiday week, we'd like to send our wishes out for

Speaker 1: of each other and all of that. We'll have a

440
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: chance to get our guys opportunity tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving,

441
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: which I'm grateful for that we're playing Monday night. It

442
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: works out well. But we want to send out, you know,

443
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: a really good thought about the gratitude and about I

444
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: appreciate one another. And that's that's kind of where we

445
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: started today. Um, we get a matchup with with Washington

446
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: and that we find them at a time when they

447
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: played two really good football games against good teams and

448
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: got good, solid wins, and I'm sure they're feeling really

449
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: excited about where they're going. And you know, they looked

450
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: really solid and a really well balanced team, very much

451
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: like we've seen Ron's teams over the years. You know,

452
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: where they're good on teams. They're good on defense, and

453
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: they move it on offense, and they have a real

454
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: nice a real nice system going. And so I'm up

455
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: against a good club and uh, you know, unfortunately we

456
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: catch them when they're where they're hot and they're going

457
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: and all that. We have got to do a really

458
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: nice job this week and learning. Really still feels like

459
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: a new team to us, even though we played them

460
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: a year ago. Um, it still feels like a new

461
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: team with some new faces and stuff playing for them.

462
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: So we've got to learn them and make sure we

463
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: do a nice job of adapting this week and get

464
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: our plan ready. We got a lot of work to do,

465
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: and we have our hopes or our high to really

466
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: play good football and get a good game under on

467
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: this Monday night coming up and looking forward, always looking

468
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: forward to those you know, those fun opportunities go across

469
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: the country. It's been pretty good us in the past.

470
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna trying to make it good again. Balance that

471
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Washington the show and they're coming off for to best game.

472
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: What else is it about tom bel that their offense

473
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: is time Well, Taylor Heineke's playing good, you know, he's

474
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: playing good football for him he's been real resourceful. Um,

475
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: he's a good he's obviously in charge of their offense

476
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: and can throw all of the stuff they're asking him

477
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: to throw. But he's uh, he's running the ball forty

478
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: something times, you know, and he's got a good, good

479
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: average there. He's not just escaping on scrambles but reading

480
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, reading option opportunities and stuff like that. He

481
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: does a good job. So he's a he's truly a

482
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: double threat for us in that regard. And uh, you know,

483
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: Antonio's a really good running back. Terry's a terrific receiver.

484
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, they've uh, you know, every everywhere you look,

485
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: they've got players that can do good stuff. And they're

486
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: they're a little banged up to you know, on the

487
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, with a couple really highlighted

488
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: players out, but they've played really well and adapted well already.

489
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: So um, you know, they just they got their raft

490
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: together and they look like a good football team. Like

491
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: I said, Terry, he leaves the league and contested catches.

492
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: How old you see him? And I guess what makes

493
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: that such a skill set of his. He's really fast,

494
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: so he's always got the kind of he's got the

495
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: edge on on the opportunities always. Uh, he's a really

496
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: good athlete, really powerful, explosive athlete, gets off the ground

497
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: really well, and he's really you can see and feel

498
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: the strength of him. You know. They doesn't get knocked

499
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: around when he's going to play the ball, and so, um,

500
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: they know how to put the ball up to him

501
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: and utilize him. He's just been. He's been legitimately you

502
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: know what people thought he would be coming out of

503
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: the draft, you know, and he's a big time player.

504
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Expect DJ readback this week. Um, he will see if

505
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: he's gonn practice today, We'll see how he does, you know,

506
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: and uh, we'll let you know. This is a day

507
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: we don't have to really commit on the injuries and stuff,

508
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: so everybody won't have many updates. But we'll see how

509
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: that goes. So when we have a PRESSU conference tomorrow

510
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: we can talk about Okay, UM, we're not commenting on

511
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: injuries right now. We don't because we don't have to.

512
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: So I don't have any updates for you. Sorry, How

513
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: would you assess Shane Walter and just I know it's

514
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: been a weird year with us all for a few

515
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: games and all that kind of stuff. But just when

516
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: you look at it's been a challenge. It's just been

517
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: a challenging year for us. You know. We haven't been

518
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: as as consistent as we wanted to be. And we

519
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of things that we can do in

520
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: our offense and a lot of stuff that we that

521
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: we really like. We have to be able to reap

522
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: the benefits of those opportunities. But you know, by completing

523
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: our drives, you know, and that goes back to the

524
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: third down stuff as well as our efficiency on first

525
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: or second now, but the easy focus for us is

526
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: to look at third down and see that you know,

527
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: if we make it two or three more game, it

528
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: gives us two or three more drives, you know, and

529
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: that that's what we need. So um, I think it's

530
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: been a real challenge for him, and that you know,

531
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: it's quarterback moving out and tailback's not being available and

532
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: all that, um as we had planned it, you know,

533
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: and so um, but I think he's doing a really

534
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: good job. I love the work in the approach and

535
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: the style and what we're trying to get done, and

536
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm very hopefully that we're gonna see us really take

537
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: off in the last seven weeks, or we can look

538
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: at some of those dirt downs. I think it's Monday,

539
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: you said you got to get the balled at Gerald

540
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Tyler K. You look at those dirt downs. Why isn't

541
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: that happening. No, we haven't converted. You know, it's one

542
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: reason or another. You know, it's whether it's the it's

543
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: the opportunity, it's the throw, it's you know, that's what

544
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: we've intended to do the whole time. And so I'm

545
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: disappointed that I can't tell you that we're getting it done.

546
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: So that's we you know, we are resigned to the

547
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: thought that that's a really good thought. And so we're

548
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: gonna keep working at because what do you how do

549
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: you how do you work on that in practice? Is

550
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: it a change of philosophies that just better execution? What

551
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: do you work once? We work on it every week.

552
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: And so it's that's not the part that we can

553
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: change a whole lot, because we're already getting the reps

554
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: and all we've we've got to execute better and uh

555
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: and and hit it, you know. And so I gotta

556
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: get Rush in the groove and got to get those

557
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: guys in the groove too, So that we're really counting

558
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: on each other to come through when the time calls

559
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: for it. Simplifying of anything in terms of the game

560
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: plan and better often often simplifying is a way we go,

561
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and to you know, to make sure that

562
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: we're getting enough turns, enough reps at stuff. And so, uh,

563
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: we have we have trimmed some things a little bit

564
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: um in the last couple of weeks. So we're hoping

565
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: that we'll you know, reap the benefits of that. Quandres

566
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: leading the NFC and Poll Bowl vote right number of

567
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: free safety who season he's had. You tell me, what

568
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: is he leading in NAT in the Pole Bowl vote? Oh? Okay, yeah, Well, um,

569
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I think he shows who he is every time we

570
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: go out. He shows that he's a he's a terrific

571
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: deep defender. He's an alley player that that just shows

572
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: up with such style, you know, and there's only a

573
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: couple of guys in the league that play like he plays.

574
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: His tackling has been excellent, his playmaking has been really good,

575
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: and he continues to be you know, it's obvious that

576
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. More than that, you know

577
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: that this isn't what the vote generates but his leadership

578
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: for us and with our guys and keep it together

579
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: and running the show back there is really is really apparent,

580
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: and it's great that he's getting recognized when it comes

581
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: to this Nash across the because of line alt Robinson

582
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a more lot of time. That's something you

583
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: would like to see more of. Is it just you

584
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: would like to see him one third down? So yeah,

585
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: we want to see him in the passing situations and

586
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: that when we're in the two minute situations and in

587
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: third down situations, he's going to get more turns. All right,

588
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: everything you need to know from Pete Carroll's press conference,

589
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: plus another preview for this game coming your way. Next

590
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: on the huddle. This is the huddle with Dave Wyman J.

591
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: C Ross. We were getting you guys ready for the

592
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks upcoming game, a Monday night game again Washington Fall

593
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: got a couple of games from Team Carroll. In that

594
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: last second, let's run the start with this injury update.

595
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: Cornerback DJ Reid, who missed last week of the groin injury,

596
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: will practice. So Dave, I'll start with you with this one.

597
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: What's going to be the goal for this cornerback group

598
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: in particular, now that they're heading into a season without

599
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: Trey Brown. Yeah, it's too bad because he was playing

600
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: so well. I mean he was playing as much like

601
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: a veteran as any veteran. But um, I liked what

602
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I saw it as Sydney Jones, I mean, look, as

603
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: long as they can get DJ Reid back, And we

604
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: talked to Sydney the other day. Um, he had a

605
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: couple of really nice tackles and some good plays. And

606
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, he caught that interception the other day. I

607
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: mean it's just technically the ball hits the ground, but

608
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: he was still controlling the ball. So um, but yeah,

609
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that's something that was probably the biggest

610
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: question mark. I mean, look where they've been. I mean

611
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: they went from a Kilo Witherspoon. I just looked up

612
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: his stats. He's in Pittsburgh, and I think he has like,

613
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty five snaps or something like that. Yeah.

614
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Trey Flowers has played yet though, And

615
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: and I loved Trey, but he just couldn't figure it out.

616
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: You couldn't figure out how to get out of his

617
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: own head. But you know, I always thought dj Reid

618
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: was the best cover guy, but I never you know,

619
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even know about Trey Brown. I just was

620
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: he was a question mark. The only thing that was

621
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: that kind of clued you in is that Pete during

622
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: camp said he didn't make any mistakes. And I have

623
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: to say, would you guys remember him making a mistake.

624
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean I don't, yeah, not until he was that

625
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: play that he was injured. He got kind of beat there,

626
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: but he was injured, and it's hard to tell. I

627
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: think the injury itself, yes, is what stopped him from

628
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: making the play. So m yeah, and that was that

629
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: was it. And it's just a shame because I mean

630
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: he's done for the year. Attendant surgery. Let's look at

631
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: an upfront. Pete Carroll was asked about Carlos Dunlap, who

632
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: played I think a season low and snaps and you know,

633
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: he was asked, Hey, was he injured? He said, no,

634
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: that's just how the game plan went. Jake, I'll go

635
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: to you for this one. Are you surprised by how

636
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: Carlos's season has started? And how do you think that

637
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: pass rush as a hole can get? Right? Yeah, I'm

638
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: very surprised. I mean everybody here was excited about bringing

639
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap back. I mean, we all saw the impact

640
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: that he had for this team and the his ability

641
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: at his size to be able to bull rush and

642
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: collapse the pocket into you know, a couple of times

643
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: he literally ran over tackles to get sacks, and you're

644
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: just not seeing that from him and Carlos Dunlap. I mean,

645
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: he was on with you guys, you know, was it

646
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, and he alluded to

647
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: the to the fact that he's playing a different role.

648
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: And Dave I wanted to ask you, have you seen

649
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: him being put in a different role this year than

650
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: compared to last because I still see him get opportunities

651
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: on the edge in passing situations, and I just don't

652
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: see him winning the one on one battles like he

653
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: did a year ago. Yeah, I agree. I mean remember

654
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: the sack he had in Buffalo where he just bull

655
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: rushed the guy. Yes, you know, and I remember with

656
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: one hand he's bull rushing the tackle. On the other hand,

657
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: he's grabbing Josh Allen who's a big dude and got

658
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: him on the ground. So that has in the case.

659
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: I think. Also, he said in his interview. I didn't.

660
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to read anything into it. He seemed

661
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: Bob thought he seemed a little bit irritated, but he said, yeah,

662
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm not getting very tired because they're really limiting my reps.

663
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: And if you go and look, well the reason why

664
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: he left Cincinnati and got himself out of there was

665
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: because of a lack of reps. So you know, he

666
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: said he didn't get too tired, so I'm not sure

667
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: of that. The other question I have is, I'm just

668
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the zone blitz where

669
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: you're dropping off defensive lineman back into into coverage. Can

670
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: you explains why specifically you don't like it. Well, I

671
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: don't like it because you have defensive lineman dropping back

672
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: into pass his owns and they don't really know what

673
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: they're doing. I mean, look, I'm not saying it's so

674
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: complicated you can't pick it up, but that's not what

675
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: they do for a living. The other thing, I just,

676
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: in general, most guys will tell you most defensive lineman

677
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: that they could give a rip about an interception. You know,

678
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: we talked. I talked to Daryl Taylor, and I'm like, hey,

679
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be dropping, maybe get some interceptions, because

680
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: interceptions don't get you, Sacks get you paid. Sacks get

681
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: you paid. So you know, that's why they're some of

682
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: the highest paid guys in the league. They want to

683
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. But also just when you drop

684
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: back into a zone, especially if it's Brian Money and

685
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Al Woods. No offense to those guys. I mean, look,

686
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Buona Ford, but those aren't the most fleet of foot

687
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: guys back in his zone, you know, and you have

688
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: to kind of shuffle and turn and run. And the

689
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: other thing is just pattern recognition. As a linebacker when

690
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: you're in zone, your eyes are ninety percent of the

691
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: time on the quarterback and you sort of have to

692
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: feel what's going on behind you. Like if they run

693
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: a little check down in front of you and set

694
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: him down at five yards, you know, the greedy quarterback

695
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: does not want to throw the five yard check down.

696
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: He wants to throw the fifteen yard dig route. And

697
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: so when you jump that guilt all goes over your head. Yeah,

698
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: of course, I mean you want you want those guys

699
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: biting on those underneath routes. So and the reason why

700
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: they've gone to that more so than any of the

701
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: time that I call it a fire zone blitz. And

702
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: you know Da've talking about, you know, dropping linemen into coverage.

703
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: The reason why they're doing that and electing to when

704
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: they bring pressure to play zone is because for the

705
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: most part, they haven't been as confident in the corners

706
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: and everyone else Jamal Adams, you see why at different times,

707
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: especially that last drive of the game against the Cardinals,

708
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: playing in man demand situations, putting those guys in man

709
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: demand situations on a consistent basis, And that's not who

710
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: they've been in their history. They have been a zone

711
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: heavy team. And when they want to bring five, when

712
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: they want to bring six, they are going to play

713
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: man demand and and so it's been unique to see

714
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: them try to figure it out this way. And then

715
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: the other thing is that they don't disguise it well

716
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: at all. They tell the whole world, Hey, Jamal Adams

717
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: is gonna come, or somebody else is gonna you know, come,

718
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: and Benson Mayo or the defensive defensive end on the

719
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: other side's gonna drop. So that that part of it

720
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: just hasn't worked. And I would rather them just be

721
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: aggressive and just go for it. Yeah, you're gonna put

722
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: yourself a man demand, but you got to live and

723
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: die by trying to generate some pressure. That's a great point, Jake,

724
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: because usually you do that to surprise them. You surprise

725
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: the offense because they're counting and going, okay, I'm gonna

726
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: block this guy. You go back and all of a sudden, oh,

727
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: he's dropping back into his zone. But that has not

728
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: been the case that it's not like been a surprise

729
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: to opposing offenses. And so, yeah, that that one. I mean, look,

730
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm not the defensive coordinator. I get it. This goes

731
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: back to when I played. This goes back to when

732
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: I played. And you know, look, sometimes you substitute a

733
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: corner a safety as a pass rusher instead of the lineman.

734
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: You drop him out of there. That's that way you

735
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: It gives you a way to blitz and not have

736
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: to play man. And so but yeah, it just doesn't

737
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work because I mean, most defensive tackles

738
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: are going to drop back and they're gonna cover a

739
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: seven yard patch of grass. What would you love to

740
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: see them do a bit more of instead? I mean

741
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: the implications obvious, but what would you love to see

742
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: them do more defensively? If it means doing less of that. Yeah,

743
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I liked the scheme last year

744
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: where you know, they just had the four guys in

745
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: the leo coming off the edge. You know, they've got

746
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of a five man front going and a lot

747
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: of times they'll drop both guys out and just rush

748
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: three the three inside guys. And those aren't your I

749
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: mean your best premiere pass rushers, you know. I mean

750
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: it's Money Woods. I mean Money had a great game

751
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: in a second a half, right, It's really happy for him.

752
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: Those guys are typically the grinders in there. And with

753
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: all that said, I think like Al Woods has been

754
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: a hero on this defense. I know he jumped offsides

755
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: on the field goal, everybody got angry about that, but

756
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean he has been just yeoman's work inside. I

757
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: mean he's always how many times you see his ninety

758
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: nine jersey's like all twisted around, shout out to the

759
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: inside guy. Yeah. So I love that for Money that

760
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: he got a sack and a half, that was nice.

761
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: But you know, just I'd like to see a little

762
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: bit more of what we saw last year because I

763
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: remember at the end of the year, whatever they were doing,

764
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 1: they got thirty seven sacks in the last ten games.

765
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: Let me get to one more point here. Pee Carroll

766
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: was asked about Gerald Everett after what was a stellar

767
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: game by Everett and most especially Dabe. You mentioned this

768
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, the idea of Everett breaking tackles,

769
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: pushing through guys, dragging guys. Carol says, quote, it just

770
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: screams that we have to keep going to him, go

771
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: to both of you. But Dave, I'll start with you.

772
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: If you could just show this team like a clip

773
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: of Everett, or like if you could point to a

774
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: moment that you saw from Everett where you thought, let's

775
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: play like this, like let's see more of this. Is

776
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: there a moment that comes to mind? Yeah, the other day, Yeah,

777
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: he had he broke three tackles and the one of

778
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: them was I think is at number ninety seven. I'm

779
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: trying to remember who that was, a big defensive tackle

780
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: inside dude war daddy as Mark shall Art likes to

781
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: call him. And you know, he so he steps out

782
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: of the first one, breaks the other one. I think

783
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: it was Isaiah Simmons. That guy comes ye and he

784
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: ends up ducking and twisting out of that one, and

785
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: then he just gets tattooed by Thompson. The safety comes

786
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: up and just kills him, you know. So he because

787
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: he's trying to break these other ones and this guy's

788
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: just beating. He's got a beat on him, knocks him

789
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: on his tail. He gets up and celebrates and runs

790
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: back to the field. I mean that to the to

791
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: the huddle. That gets everybody fired up, and you know,

792
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: and that's the other thing. Like I saw a couple

793
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: of guys on the sidelines get fired up about it,

794
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, on high fives and everything. But

795
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: like I feel like the whole team should have been

796
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: over there, Like that's without we need to play. You

797
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: need to play with passion, with anger. I mean I was,

798
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: I was angry after. I mean, it would take me

799
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: like an hour to calm down after a game. You

800
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: you have to play that way, and uh yeah, I'm

801
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to see that. I'm not really seeing that. Yeah.

802
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: To me, that is the ultimate sign of buying and

803
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: that has been one of the staples of a Pete

804
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: Carroll Litt program is the enthusiasm, the energy, the juice

805
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: that is conveyed from the coaching staff that permeates to

806
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: the players and permeates through the leadership, and then that

807
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: expectation is that it manifests itself on the field in

808
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: every aspect. And so when you look at some of

809
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: those things that are a little off, that aren't normal

810
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: to what you're seeing with this program, it does remind

811
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: you that they are three and seven. It does remind

812
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: you that there are things that they are trying to

813
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: work through. But in these next seven games, I don't

814
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: know how Pete Carroll and this stacy why we talked

815
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: about his coaching style and how it manifests itself in

816
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: difficult times versus times of hey always pointing to being

817
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: optimistic and always pointing to the chance that's in front

818
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: of you. Can you get these guys to continue to

819
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: play hard, continue to believe, continue to play with great

820
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: enthusiasm and passion and energy. And you know there are

821
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: certain guys that do show it, gerald ever being one

822
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: of them, but you would love to see that collective

823
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: excitement happen on this team. And I can't help but

824
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: think that a big reason why that has not happened

825
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: has been the offense and the lack of production that

826
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: you've seen from this offense. And if they could get

827
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: that going. I do think that you see some of

828
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: that come back. You are listening to the huddle. We've

829
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: got back to back to back to back experts joining

830
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: us to continue this preview. We're starting with Robert Turbin next,

831
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: don't oh anywhere. This is the huddle with Dave Wyman,

832
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We are joined now by

833
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: NFL analysts who can hear him on the Seahawks pre

834
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: and post game show. It is Robert Turbin, Turbo, what's up? Hey,

835
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: how's everybody's going? We're good. I mean it's a it's

836
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: a Wednesday huddle, obviously, given Thanksgiving, I you know what

837
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do before we get into any football talk,

838
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: I have to ask Turbo the absolute best Thanksgiving side

839
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: because we're in a big disagreement here on the show.

840
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: Are you guys trying to disable between maccaroni and cheese?

841
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: You know I would go mac and cheese. Okay, I

842
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: would go mac and cheese. As a second, I said

843
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: stuffing first. I said stuffing first. I would go with stuff.

844
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: That's an jake and I hate stuffing. And and also

845
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: Stacy says that it's that gravy is not considered like

846
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: a it's not a sign a side or anything. Of course, Turbot,

847
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't without gravy. It is the quicktessential

848
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: aspect of a thanksgiving me. Yes, I've ever had on

849
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: the huddle. Yeah, but you're not gonna eat gravy. So

850
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: that's like maybe it's like yeah like for me, I

851
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: like I like stuffing, right, but I have to have

852
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: cranberry sauce with it. But I wouldn't say cranberry sauce

853
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: is like a side by itself. Well, I agree with

854
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: you because you don't put cranberry on everything. You put

855
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: gravy on nearly everything. Robert, you're making too much sense

856
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: for Jake right now. He can't. I know I'm making

857
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: too much thing. Oh sorry, all right, all right, Uh

858
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: I think now I think lesser of Turbo. I don't

859
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: want to never never teasing. I'm teasing, all right. Uh

860
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: So so let's go ahead and uh and look ahead

861
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: to this game against the Washington football team. It's gonna

862
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: be on the road while we have you here. I'm

863
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: actually really excited because I wanted to get your opinion

864
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: about Alex Collins just uh, you know, from from someone

865
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: who kind of knows what the game should look like.

866
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of him just as a whole?

867
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: And a question that Dave asked us earlier that I

868
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: thought was great, I'll throw it to you is can

869
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: this team really like win with Alex Collins as a starter. Well,

870
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: I think given the opportunity, yes, they can win with Alex.

871
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: They think. The thing that we've seen with Alex throughout

872
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: this season, and the more opportunities that he has throughout

873
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: a football game to kill the ball, the better he gets.

874
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 1: He actually gets better as the game goes. He tends

875
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: to start to find his rhythm once he you know,

876
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: starts to get the you know, big chunk of carries

877
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: and get some carries to play, act to play, you know,

878
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: some plays in a row. And so with that, I

879
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: think you can win well. And Turbo tell us about

880
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: that as a running back, because you know, I've said

881
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: this before about Alex Collins. I think he's a rhythm

882
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: player and you mentioned that word for a running back.

883
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: How important is that? And then how many how many

884
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: carries do you need to get into a rhythm. Yeah,

885
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be different for everybody. That's

886
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: a good question. Heavy back is different, and everybody has

887
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: a different running style and it takes a different you know,

888
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: everybody's different as a potaint of how the game comes

889
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: to them. But I think for Alex and for me,

890
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: I was like that too. The more carries you get,

891
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: the better you start to feel a good rhythm and

892
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: have a good sense of what the defense is trying

893
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: to do and how they're trying to stop you. I

894
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: think once you get to about double digit carries, and

895
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: that could be ten, sometimes that can be twelve or fifteen.

896
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: But I think even more important than that is getting

897
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 1: carries in a row, you know, first down, second down,

898
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: third down, and that's how you really get to gauge

899
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: how different defenses are game planning against you and trying

900
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: to stop you. Now, Turbot, when you look at this

901
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: team and you look at the offense and everything that

902
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: they have trolled with, it's it's really frustrating and hard

903
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: when you don't have an identity and you know the

904
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense. It's it's been very perplexing and confusing because

905
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: all right, you know, no matter if you're struggling or

906
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: if you have guys injured, as long as you have

907
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: an identity, you know what you can fall back on,

908
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: and you know, Turbo, can you just speak to you

909
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: as a player what that means for everyone when they

910
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: have a firm understanding as to what their offense is

911
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: supposed to be centered and focused around. Yeah, I mean

912
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: when you have an identity, you know, you know who

913
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: you are. When you know who you are, you know

914
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: what you want to do and how you want to attack,

915
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: and then you avoid from an offensive perspective, you avoid

916
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: defenses dictating what it is you can and can't do.

917
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: You know, a team that has an identity a lot

918
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: of times in these meetings that we're having in our

919
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: game plan is yeah, you want to adjust and make

920
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: adjustments to what your opponent is doing to you, but

921
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: you don't want it to completely dictate how you're going

922
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: to run your style of play. Offensively, we're talking to

923
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: run offense right now, and so we have an identity,

924
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We'll sit these meetings and we'll say, you know,

925
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: you know this is what we're going to do against them,

926
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: as opposed saying this is what we're going to do

927
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: because they do this, and it's just a different mindset

928
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: and it just an approach when you know who you are,

929
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: Hey Turbot. I think when a team has three wins,

930
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: a lot of pretty solid play by certain players gets overlooked,

931
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: right because the whole team is struggling. Is there anyone

932
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: it could be on offense? But I was assuming defensively

933
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: or special teams where you look at him and say,

934
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: you know what, this guy's doing some good stuff right now,

935
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: and not enough people are talking about it. Yeah, you

936
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: know what. I think DJ Dallas is returning the ball

937
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: well when he gets the opportunity, putting the offensive good

938
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: field position. Obviously, our punner is changing the field week

939
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: end and week out. He's doing a fantastic job. And

940
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: special teams. It's funny you mentioned special teams, and I

941
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: go right to special teams because it's the easiest part

942
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: of the game to overlook. It's so easy to go

943
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: offensive defense real quick. But I think our special teams,

944
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: aside from a few miss field goals, has overall been

945
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: really solid for our teams and giving us good field

946
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: position offensively. And then you know, obviously the rookie was

947
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: really impressive, Trey Brown before his injury. But you know,

948
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: to come back from an injury and not even really

949
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: playing in the beginning of the season and then get

950
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: an opportunity and perform the way that he did before

951
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: going down is it's pretty impressive, especially for a rookie.

952
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Usually rookies need a lot of practice time or more

953
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: practice time than others, and then to not start the

954
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: season on the field can sometimes be really tough to

955
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: just jump in there, you know, a quarter through the season.

956
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: And so for him to be able to do that

957
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: and play the way that he did, I thought was

958
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: really impressive. Hey, Robert was I had to hang around

959
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: and listen to your guests postgame show in person because

960
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: I love to my keys in my car, but not

961
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: because it wasn't. But you know, one of the things

962
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: that that we were just talking about, I think you

963
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: guys were talking about it in the post game, Um,

964
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: Jerald Everett just that the one where he breaks two

965
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: three tackles. He ends up getting plowed on the play,

966
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: but I mean he gets up, he's fired up. You've

967
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: seen him against Green Bay the last few weeks. Like

968
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: that guy's playing with a lot of passion. And you know,

969
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking that that's something that I feel like

970
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: you should put that tape on. And that's how I'd

971
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: like to see this team play, but um, but I

972
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: don't know. What do you think this team just in

973
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: general is missing? Because you've been on some really good

974
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: teams and you know, I was just looking at your

975
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: numbers in twenty twelve and thirteen, and you've been around

976
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: some really talented players. What do you think this team

977
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: is missing? Yeah, I just don't think they have the

978
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: continuity right now. You know you mentioned Jald how you

979
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: read so much passion is you see so many great

980
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 1: end of visual efforts, but you know, for some reason

981
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: those individual efforts how they've been able to you know,

982
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: kind of come together a collective one, and you know

983
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: that's why we're in a lot of games and then

984
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: we strug to finish because we just don't have that connectivity.

985
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: And so, you know, there's one thing where you can

986
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: play with a lot of passion, and I think from

987
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,839
Speaker 1: an effort standporter, our guyser are really playing hard, but

988
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: we just lacked execution, especially on the offensive side of

989
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: the ball, and that's why we can't finish games right now,

990
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: all right. He is Robert Turbin. You can hear him

991
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks pre and postgame show every Seahawks game.

992
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: But don't forget this one's on a Monday. Thanks so much, Turbot.

993
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: Stay hungry, guys till Thursday at least. Thank you? All right.

994
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: The Voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, joins us next

995
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: on the Huddle. Don't go anywhere. This is the Huddle

996
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross joining us. Now,

997
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: the Voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, Hey, Rabes, how's

998
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: it going good? Stasie, how are you? I like that

999
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: we played insane in the membrane for Rabel, as is

1000
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: the bumper music DJ? What are you doing? I thought

1001
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: we were gonna get crazy here, you know what I mean?

1002
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: Like have a lot of fun. Dave said he likes

1003
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: that your intro song was insane in the membrane. Yeah,

1004
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. Who who? Who did this?

1005
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: Somebody's certainly not from my air. It wasn't If it

1006
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: wasn't Rosemary Clooney or Bing Crosby, I don't know it.

1007
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: If it wasn't nineteen fifties Christmas music, I don't know who.

1008
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, okay, um Raves, I'm going to start with obviously,

1009
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: maybe a quick look back at this past game. It's

1010
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,439
Speaker 1: hard to find much of this season to really love

1011
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: or really be happy about. But if you are going

1012
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: to look at one positive they can try to build on,

1013
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: is there anything you can think of? Wow? Well I will.

1014
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: First of all, you got your quarterback back healthy. That's

1015
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: one thing to kind of continue to build back on.

1016
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: He's not he's not there yet, not completely. He's healthy

1017
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: enough to play, but and I know when he said

1018
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: after the game this week, somebody asked him about what

1019
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 1: about the rust, and he said, there is no rust. Well,

1020
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think it's it's kind of

1021
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: apparent that there is some rust out there, a little

1022
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: bit that you know, you're human, and it's okay to

1023
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: admit that miss on some throws. Maybe he didn't get

1024
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: a couple of the reads that he would have liked

1025
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: to have gotten. But all at all, considering what's happened,

1026
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: that's what you build on. You got your all world

1027
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: quarterback back. And yes, it hasn't been what anybody likes,

1028
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: and it's certainly what no one would have expected, especially

1029
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: since he's back on the field. So you start there.

1030
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll go with one of the guys that Da've always

1031
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 1: talks about Gerald Everett. I mean, this guy has proven

1032
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: that he can play. He is just not to be tackled,

1033
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: and so he sort of sets the tone I think

1034
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: for the offense and in the style of offense. I

1035
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: believe that Shane Baldwin wants to play. The tight ends

1036
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: are very important. Those crossing routes, those underneath routes, those

1037
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: release routes out into the flat, a little whee around,

1038
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 1: keep those guys involved because a guy like Gerald Everard

1039
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: can turn a small play into a big play. So

1040
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: I like both of those things on offense and on defense.

1041
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: I sort of like the pressure that the big guys

1042
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: are starting to get up front. I don't know there

1043
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: will ever be a team that can generate four man pressure.

1044
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: We just don't have any of those kind of superstar

1045
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: sort of athletes on the on the edges that can

1046
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: can do that. But we're doing better job at getting

1047
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: some pressure on the quarterback. So I looked at both

1048
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 1: of those areas. By the way, Rabes, I had a moment.

1049
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: You know there's that commercial don't become your your parents

1050
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, and yeah, I'm becoming Steve Rabel because I

1051
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: did a podcast with Turbo and he goes, yeah, you know,

1052
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: I've seen you around doing radio, but I had no

1053
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: idea you played. And I was like, yeah, that's that's

1054
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: kind of how I go. You know that old man,

1055
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: I work with Steve Rabel. He ran A four three

1056
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: seven forty at one point. So yeah, I'm becoming Steve

1057
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: Rabel and it actually feels pretty good, man, It feels

1058
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: pretty good. Good. Yeah. I was just at the grocery

1059
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 1: store a little while ago and a young man who

1060
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: was bagging my groceries said, uh, so, did you start

1061
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 1: in television news? And I said, well, no, I actually

1062
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: started in sports. Oh what interested you about sports? I said,

1063
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: because I played for like for my whole life. Oh

1064
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. You know, the kid is like

1065
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty years old. How would he know. I don't know.

1066
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: I stopped playing before his parents were born. For crying, ull,

1067
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: I know. I hate that now kids the guys were

1068
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: talking to are born after my career. Yeah, so, but hey,

1069
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: uh this week, rabes Tyler Lockett after the game. I

1070
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard this quote, but he was saying,

1071
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: how what we're saying on film is not what we're getting.

1072
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: Like basically, he was saying that they're showing they're not

1073
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: doing the they're not playing the Seahawks the same way

1074
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: they play other teams. I don't know if you heard

1075
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: that quote, and I did, Yeah, what did you think

1076
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: I mean? Did you to me? I didn't really know

1077
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: what to say. I thought that could mean lots of things.

1078
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't know if it's derogatory or

1079
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: what he meant by that. What did you make of it? Well,

1080
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, I heard it when he actually said. I

1081
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: was in the room there on Sunday after the game

1082
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: listening to the guy's chat afterwards, and it caught me

1083
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: by surprise as well. And I'm not sure that Tyler

1084
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: meant it the way he said it the way it

1085
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: came out. Um, you know, these guys are prepared. I don't.

1086
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a whole lot of doubt about that. Besides,

1087
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: there's only so many things you can do and show

1088
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: as you get ready for football games. And they've seen

1089
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: Arizona a lot. They know what the Cardinals do on defense,

1090
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: so they might have thrown a couple of, you know,

1091
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: a couple of new little wrinkles in there or something

1092
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: like that, and maybe it happened on a play or

1093
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: two that seemed to make it stand out more than

1094
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: otherwise it would. But I you know, Pete came back

1095
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: afterwards and said, well, I'm not sure what Tyler was

1096
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: referring to, but as he said, Pete said, I think

1097
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: on Monday, no, we we sort of expected, we knew

1098
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: what they were going to do, and they kind of

1099
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: did it. And then I heard Matthew talking this morning

1100
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: Hasselbeck and he said basically the same thing. He said,

1101
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that I saw a whole lot of

1102
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: new So I don't know. I just kind of chalk

1103
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: it up to maybe a little bit of frustration and

1104
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: completely understandable. But I think these guys are I mean,

1105
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: I think game plans are being drawn up, and they're

1106
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: looking at enough film and all that. I think it

1107
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: just comes down to one word, execution. They're just not

1108
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: executing the offense the way it should be. Raves, I'm

1109
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: right there with you, and I echo Pete, Russ and

1110
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: matt for that matter. I mean, studying these guys, I

1111
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: didn't see one thing on there that really was a

1112
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: big surprise in terms of what they did and what

1113
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: they tried to do from the years of a game plan.

1114
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: But from Tyler's perspective, it can be frustrating to walk

1115
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: into a situation say, here's our game plan, or for example,

1116
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, the calls that are made in the red

1117
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 1: zone versus what they actually do and what they've majored

1118
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: in for years and years and or the things that

1119
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: they've worked on in the offseason they don't actually get

1120
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: called in a game. I mean, you know, I do

1121
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: think that execution and game planning uh does come into

1122
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: a factor there, and how frustrating that might be to

1123
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: go into a practice and feel like you have the

1124
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: answers and feel like you're you've got the right plan

1125
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: as a player, and then to not see those things

1126
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: manifest itself in a game. Yeah, absolutely, and it and

1127
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 1: it affects everybody differently. You know, Tyler Lockett is about

1128
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: as much a team player as anybody I can think of.

1129
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: He is a he is a very thoughtful person, and

1130
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: we all know that he's just an incredible, fearless football player. Uh.

1131
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: And you know, if if he was, if if he

1132
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: believed that's what he saw, then if I'm the offensive coordinator,

1133
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: if I'm the wide receiver coach, I want to sit

1134
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: down and talk to him and tell me Tyler what

1135
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 1: it was that you saw. Tell me what we can do,

1136
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: How can we make sure that this doesn't crop up again? Anything?

1137
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: Because I'm you know, I'm I'm all in on Tyler Lockett.

1138
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the best, not only players,

1139
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: but people that I know. Can I throw a quick

1140
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 1: story at you, Jake real fast talking about not being

1141
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: prepared or being underprepared, And I go back to my

1142
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: rookie season nineteen seventy six. We're playing the Rams down

1143
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles Coliseum and they had a guy

1144
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: named Dave Elmendorff who was a safety free safety. Nolan

1145
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: Cromwell was their strong safety former coach here under Mike.

1146
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: And we come out and we're trying to move the

1147
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: ball down the field and they're they're, you know, a

1148
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: really good team, Jack young Blood and Fred Dryer. I mean,

1149
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: these are great players and we can't do anything. So

1150
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: we're trying to throw the football and we had a

1151
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: quarterback who was a former Detroit Lion named Bill Munson

1152
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: who was playing it towards the end of the game,

1153
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: and he called a slant route to my side. So

1154
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: I run this slant and I'd get hammered before the

1155
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: ball ever got there, and munths and screams at me about, hey,

1156
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: you should have broken that off outside the safety blitzed

1157
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: and they did a lot of that that game, and

1158
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: I said, I had no idea. First of all, I

1159
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't know to look for it because we'd never talked

1160
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: about it. And in the locker room after the game,

1161
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: Jack Petera came over to me and he said, that

1162
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: was on us. We didn't prepare you for that. We

1163
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: didn't think they'd do it. We didn't prepare you. That's

1164
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: not your fault. And it never happened to me. Again,

1165
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: I was always aware. But you know, guys are they

1166
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: really want to try to do the right thing. And

1167
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say that Tyler is doing the right thing.

1168
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: Talk it over with your coaches. Now let's come out

1169
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: and execute. He is the voice of the Seahawks. Steve

1170
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: Rabel joins us every single week for the huddle. Rabes

00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: Dave Wyman, Jakeeps, and Stacy ross Corn across enemy line

1195
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: here for an opponent review of the Washington football team

1196
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: with John Time of e SP and John, how's it going.

1197
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm going, all right, how are you guys? Well, not great, John, No,

1198
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: it's it's fine. We're all having fun. Everyone's happy heading

1199
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: into a holiday weekend, and obviously there's plenty to be

1200
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,919
Speaker 1: grateful for with this team, even if it's been a really,

1201
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 1: really tough season and we're all still trying to figure

1202
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: it out here. But honestly, I'm still trying to figure

1203
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: out parts of Washington's team, specifically the defense. What's been

1204
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: going on on that side of the ball this year.

1205
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: Well I'm kind of trying to figure it out as well,

1206
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: because there's been an abrupt change. But the reality is

1207
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: early in the year there were there were you know,

1208
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: yok at each group individually a defensive line, even though

1209
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: as talented as it was, you still had some young

1210
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: defense events at Chase Young Amankee Sweat, and while I

1211
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: thought individually several of them were playing well, collectively, I

1212
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: didn't think they're playing well as a group and doing

1213
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: little things that might be better for team football rather

1214
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: than individual stats. That has improved the secondary had a

1215
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: lot of new parts that you had landing Collins coming

1216
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: back from an achilles injury, but he'd only played like

1217
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,880
Speaker 1: four games of four or five games in the defense

1218
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: last year, so he was kind of new. But you know,

1219
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury then, yet Bio McCain safety knew,

1220
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 1: William Jackson corner knew, Benjamin Saint Jus a draft pick new,

1221
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: So there were a lot of new parts to mesh

1222
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: and I think it took him a few minutes to

1223
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: get the trust and communication down. Now what you see,

1224
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: and the other thing is they're playing Landing Collins more

1225
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: as a traditional safety, where he was back a lot

1226
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: sometimes up in the box. Now he's a little bit

1227
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: more probably for lack of better comparison, like more Jamal

1228
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Adams type. He's kind of playing a much more of

1229
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: a hybrid role. And you know, sometimes linebacker sometimes safety.

1230
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: That has made a difference, And so I think the

1231
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: safety play has been a lot better. The linebacker play

1232
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: has been inconsistent. But I think you when what you're

1233
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: seeing lately are three different position groups each getting better,

1234
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: but especially the front and the back end. Hey John

1235
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: tell us about the personality of Taylor Heineke. He looks

1236
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: like he's a scrappy guy. I mean, we're looking at

1237
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: his numbers, but as far as his personality, his leadership,

1238
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: what he means to that team, I mean he plays

1239
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: with He's got a little bit of a swagger for

1240
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: a guy who was an undrafted free agent and who

1241
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: was on the in an old Dominion university classroom a

1242
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: year ago at this time. Yeah, and so when you

1243
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: he's been an underdog his whole life and he's always overcoming.

1244
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: So I think he kind of plays with that little

1245
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: bit of a confident swagger, knowing that you may him

1246
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: to estimate me, but I always come through at the end.

1247
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: That's kind of how he plays. And I think that

1248
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: great determination, wherever you want to call it, does rub off.

1249
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Now he's had to grow into being a leader. I

1250
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't I don't know if i'd call him a great

1251
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: leader at this point, because I don't think he's plain

1252
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: enough to be bad. I think if he did, I

1253
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: think he could develop into one down the road. But

1254
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: right now, I think what you're you know, I think

1255
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: for him, he's only started. He's about eleven or twelve

1256
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 1: games in the NFL, so but I think he's becoming

1257
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: more of a leader. Whereas I think guys are starting

1258
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: to trust him a little bit more and see what

1259
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: he can do. I mean, he definitely got away. He

1260
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: definitely gets away with some things on the field where

1261
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: you're a little bit surprised, like, well, how did he

1262
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: not throw a couple more picks in that game? But

1263
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: the last few weeks he's been really good. I think

1264
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: some of that stuff is starting to build, and you

1265
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: do see the mindset. I think guys gravitate towards now.

1266
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that you look at

1267
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: as well, it comes to the Washington football team. That

1268
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 1: has really been impressive to me has been how good

1269
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: they've been in the in the rush defense. I know

1270
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: they've struggled in the passing game, but what has been

1271
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: one of the big reasons why they've been so good

1272
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: in that area specifically, Well, I think you know, the

1273
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: defensive line has been good. John Allen has been terrific.

1274
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: Um Chase Young was not getting to the pastor but

1275
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: he was playing to run well. Now obviously he's out

1276
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: for the year. Now. One of the guys who placed

1277
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: him as James Smith Williams, who is good against the run.

1278
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: So you start there, I think, I think what you're

1279
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: seeing are what you'd see a lot of, too much

1280
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 1: of and the first part of the season are two

1281
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: guys in one gap, which means that one gap is

1282
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm unfilled. That's where the back would hit. So you're

1283
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: getting you know, you're seeing less of that. Some of

1284
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: that is you have a rookie linebacker and Jamon Davis

1285
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: who is getting better, and yet a second or third

1286
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: year linebacker Cole Holcum, who also is getting better. Neither

1287
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: one of them is a true middle linebacker, and I

1288
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: think that sometimes gets them in trouble. I think they've

1289
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: done a better job at reading being in their gaps.

1290
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: And I think the last thing with that, I go

1291
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: back to the secondary. Atlantic College has done a really

1292
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: good job in the boxing area, and I think that's

1293
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: made a difference as well. Hey John, just a hypothetical

1294
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: here for fun. Let's say that you were to tell

1295
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: someone who is playing this team, like an opponent, how

1296
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: they could beat the Washington football team asking for a friend,

1297
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: what would be like maybe a weakness or maybe a

1298
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: plan to do that? Yeah, I mean I would First

1299
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: of all, you want to keep Taylor Heineke in the pocket.

1300
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: He's not a pure pocket pass so he's gonna hurt you.

1301
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: He's a little bit like you know. I mean, he's

1302
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: certainly not Russell Wilson, but you know that Russell likes

1303
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: to get out there and he can create these dangers

1304
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: outside there. Well, so is Heineke. You know, he can

1305
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: extend plays and get away from guys keeping the pocket.

1306
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: I think if you stop the run game for them,

1307
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: get them in a lot of certain lawns and you're

1308
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be okay. And they've done well running the

1309
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: ball the last couple of weeks, more committed to it.

1310
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I think then with the run game commitment, you want

1311
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 1: to get ahead. And I think I would still test

1312
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: like earlier in the year, you could test the secondary game.

1313
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: There was always a blown coverage. I think I would

1314
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: try and get target William Jackson and there with their

1315
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: in zone coverage because that's a weakness of his still,

1316
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I would probably get I don't know

1317
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: if you know, you have to have the run game,

1318
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: but get them moving a little bit and maybe some

1319
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: shifting and all that to test their gap discipline on

1320
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: the run game. Hey, John, we were talking. I was

1321
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: raving about Ron Rivera. Actually played against him when he

1322
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: was at cal and I was at Stanford and I

1323
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: was telling him how much these guys how much I

1324
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: always respected him, and you know, he just he's kind

1325
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 1: of become the I feel like he's sort of the

1326
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: savior of the franchise just because you know, you thought

1327
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: about Dan Snyder and you know, however you feel about that.

1328
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: I just feel like Ron rivera kind of overwhelms everybody

1329
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: with just his honor and just the way, you know,

1330
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: he's such a such a good man. It feels like

1331
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: he's just the ultimate leader and his kind of does

1332
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: this team kind of reflect him to a degree? I

1333
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: think it does. I think one of the things she's

1334
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: he obviously came into a very difficult situation. I mean,

1335
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a difficult situation anytime you come here

1336
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: as a coach, because they there there isn't a foundation

1337
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: of success typically. But it was obviously a lot harder

1338
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: for him because you come in, you got, first of all,

1339
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: you got the pandemic, you have the rise that, you

1340
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: have the name change, then you have the sexual harassment stuff. Yeah,

1341
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: and it was one thing after another, and to calm

1342
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: and study the ship during all that, and you don't

1343
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: really have a quarterback that's like you know you. I mean,

1344
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: there are other franchises they're probably in disarray, but they

1345
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: have a great quarterback and so maybe it doesn't matter.

1346
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, you don't see it quite as much. So

1347
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I think some of the stuff stood out. But I

1348
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: think I think his approach. I think he has a

1349
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: very consistent approach with his philosophy, with his um dealing

1350
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: with players. I think that helps. Um. I think he

1351
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, he's really good at not calling them

1352
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: out unless he gets to a point where it feels

1353
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: like I've got no choice, but it usually he takes

1354
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: a long time to get there, and he's usually working

1355
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: with a player behind the scenes before then, and um,

1356
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 1: so I think that all. So I think there is

1357
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: a reflection of that. And I think you're starting to

1358
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: see a little bit more too, because I think, guy

1359
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: who's a former linebacker, you expecting to coach a tough team, right,

1360
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I think they're becoming a more tough, physical team lately,

1361
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: and so I think that's probably a little bit more

1362
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: reflection of his personality as well. He is. John Kime

1363
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: covers the Washington football team for ESPN. John, thanks so

1364
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: much for joining us today. Thanks for having me on

1365
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, have a good weekend, all right. Joining

1366
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: us next for our final segment, Seahawks dot Com reporter

1367
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 1: John Boyle. We're gonna get some final updates from him

1368
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: and then share some final thoughts before we head into

1369
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: a holiday weekend. Don't go anywhere good looking forward to

1370
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: a lot of Thanksgiving meals, even though there are horrific

1371
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving food opinions on this show that we don't need

1372
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: to call out. I mean, it's okay, I want to hear, Okay, Well, sure, sure,

1373
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to. Well, here's the worst one, David,

1374
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: I think, David, I think that gravy is the quintessential

1375
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: aspect about it. No, no no, no, no no, you are not

1376
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: phrasing this correctly. Jake said gravy is the best Thanksgiving dish,

1377
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to which to which Dave agreed, Well, I'd say it's

1378
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the most important. Yes, thank you. I mean you can't

1379
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: eat dry turkey boil. You just can't. It's important, but

1380
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: it's basically a glorifying cogniment. You could have, things wouldn't

1381
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 1: be as good. Oh my gosh, gravy, And it is important,

1382
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: but it's not its own dish. You're not gonna just

1383
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: sit down and eat some Well maybe you would, but

1384
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit down and just eat some gravy.

1385
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: If if if turkey and let's say, like potatoes are

1386
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: like the offensive defensive lines, you got to make sure

1387
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,759
Speaker 1: you have those like right, like turkeys like in the trenches.

1388
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 1: Then the gravy is like you know your your number

1389
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: one top to your wide receiver. Do you know gravy

1390
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson, Both of you are fighting. What is

1391
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: what you will do yourself? You will take the gravy

1392
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,959
Speaker 1: and you will put it all over your Thanksgiving dish,

1393
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,679
Speaker 1: your turkey, your mashed potatoes, and maybe something else, because

1394
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: it's that good and that important to a thanksgiving me. Yeah,

1395
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: and like I guess I would. I would say this

1396
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: for me to consider something that dish, it's something you

1397
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: could eat theoretically on its own. And I'm not going

1398
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: to grab a spoon and just eat some gravey. Well, yeah,

1399
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:00,040
Speaker 1: we're not speaking for wine. It's still really important. And

1400
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: then I would say, just like Russell Wilson, it covers

1401
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 1: lots of wartz, covers some of the bad food, It

1402
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: covers every Well, let's start with Russell Wilson here here,

1403
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: John h. He hasn't had his best stretch of games,

1404
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: been been a little up, a little down, and he's

1405
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: usually a model of consistency. Are there any common themes

1406
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,640
Speaker 1: that you're finding in some of his struggles? Um, you know,

1407
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know about common themes because I think you

1408
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: know that first game there's just some more uncharacteristic throws

1409
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,640
Speaker 1: are just uncharacterististically off and we saw a little bit

1410
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: out last week, but you go back and look at

1411
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: some of the throws that they weren't connect on. He

1412
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 1: was like that deep ball to DK Metcalf. I mean,

1413
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: you questioned the decision because it was well covered, but

1414
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: that was a damn near perfect throw, just launched down.

1415
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: Feel like what we're used to seeing with him. So,

1416
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, I think physically it seems like he's getting

1417
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: better and throwing the ball well, but obviously it's you know,

1418
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: the numbers show it wasn't a good game for him

1419
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 1: or that offense as a whole. You know, there are

1420
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 1: some times of receivers could have helped him and weren't

1421
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: hanging onto balls. There are some times maybe he didn't

1422
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: see things or just didn't get rid of it in

1423
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: time leading to sacks are in completion, So I think

1424
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 1: the blame can kind of be spread around. But when

1425
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 1: you just talk about, you know, some things, that looks

1426
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 1: a little more concerning. In Green Bay, I thought his

1427
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: throws just sometimes much more off, whereas he looked better

1428
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: just throwing the ball, which I think big picture wise,

1429
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about the improvement they need to see offensively

1430
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: at that. To me, that part's more encouraging. Hey, John,

1431
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll ask you the same question I asked Rabel and

1432
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: I just I like to hear everybody's opinion on what

1433
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: you think Tyler Lockett meant when he said and Pete

1434
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: clarified it because somebody asked him about and he goes, well,

1435
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you're assuming he's right. But you know, Tyler said, we're

1436
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: not seeing the same defenses. They're not playing us the

1437
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: way they they play other teams. What did you take?

1438
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: What did you make from that? It is interesting because

1439
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: you know he said that, and then Russell Wilson kind

1440
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: of said that wasn't as much the case Pete Carroll's.

1441
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 1: I think he was just kind of more being glib

1442
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: with that. You know, he assume he's right, because then

1443
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: he follow that up immediately and said, you know, I'm

1444
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: not going to speak on that because I didn't hear

1445
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: exactly what Tyler said, so I don't think he was

1446
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:05,799
Speaker 1: saying that necessarily to give Tyler hard time or anything.

1447
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, obviously there's something Defense are doing

1448
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: that seemed to be confused in the offense because it

1449
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 1: has been a struggle on third down as everyone in

1450
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: the world, as noted, has not been good at all.

1451
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know, maybe Tyler Lockett's just

1452
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: sometimes these things at old differently than other people, and

1453
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 1: that's fine as long as they're all on the same

1454
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: page and as working. And you know, they got a

1455
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: lot to clean up. And I don't read a ton

1456
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: necessarily just in those comments what's been said by individual guys,

1457
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: but you know, the overall body of work needs to improve,

1458
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: for sure, John, this is the first time that they've

1459
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: ever been in this situation, you know, Pete Carroll, John

1460
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: or Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, a lot of these you know,

1461
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: older veterans here in Seattle, with this particular organization having

1462
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: to really talk about a three and seventy with really

1463
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, hardly any playoff hopes. Have you noticed a

1464
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: change or or a different toned the way that they're talking,

1465
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: the way that they're conversating to the media as they

1466
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: are not post game, but now once they're starting to

1467
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 1: talk about the media and the way that they're getting

1468
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: into their week, day to day you know, preparations. No,

1469
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's a good distinction because obviously postgame

1470
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: people are going to be more down and more frustrated

1471
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: right after a loss. But no, in terms of what

1472
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: we hear from players, you know, during the week, both

1473
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: this week and last week and after other losses. I mean,

1474
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: that's a big part of Pete Carroll's messaging and I

1475
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: think a big part of what has led this team

1476
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: over the years to be really good year after years.

1477
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: They're really good at putting the path behind them, good

1478
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: or bad, you know, whether it's coming off a big

1479
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: win or also just focusing on the task to hand.

1480
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, the players we heard from today, guys like

1481
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner and Ryan You'll just seemed, you know, really

1482
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: positive and everybody's still got the mentality of this team

1483
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: sales time, turnaround, we can win along of games. Care

1484
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 1: even made the comment he has asked about three and

1485
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: seven affecting the future things with him and Russell Wilson

1486
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 1: all that, and he said, yeah, I'm more interested in

1487
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: how going seven oh is going to affect things. So

1488
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: everybody here is so confident, and the question is, you know,

1489
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: have they dug too big of a hole to get

1490
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: out of even if they do get hot? Very last

1491
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: question here, Trey Brown is gonna have season enduring surgery.

1492
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Already had surgery. It looks like yea. And so I'm

1493
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: both disappointed and pleasantly surprised and disappointed for him and

1494
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 1: how his season ended, but pleasantly surprised because I'm shocked

1495
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: that I'm asking you a question of without Trey Brown,

1496
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: what's this group going to do for depth and kind

1497
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: of what's the look of the group moving forward? So

1498
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: who are some of the guys that you're looking at thinking? Okay,

1499
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:38,520
Speaker 1: it's really on him now. Yeah, it is really unfortunate,

1500
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: As you said, nobody necessarily coming to the season expecting

1501
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: the fourth round pick to come in and be a

1502
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 1: starter and do everything he's done. He's been so good,

1503
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: so it is a blow to lose him. You know.

1504
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: The assumption is Sydney Jones is the next man up.

1505
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 1: He was actually starting in that west cornerback role before

1506
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Trey Brown took over, and he played well last week,

1507
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: you know, starting that game for GJ. Reid and then

1508
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: moving over taking over for Trey Brown, so you know

1509
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: he's the guy there. The question then become, you know,

1510
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: DJ Read ab we'll get back this week. Pete Carroll

1511
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: did say he would practice today, but there's no injury report,

1512
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: so they don't really have to give a lot of

1513
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: details until the injury reports start coming out tomorrow with

1514
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: a Monday game, so you know, it's pretty obvious if

1515
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: if replays, we're looking at Read and Sidney Jones. But

1516
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: if Read can't go, then you probably have to get

1517
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: blessed Austin going again. You know. Pete Carroll said he

1518
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: was solved in that first game. It was his first

1519
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: time out, so he'll have room to grow. But you know,

1520
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: those are kind of the next guys up right now.
