1 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: This is the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keats, and 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Stacy Ross. Get you guys ready with a two hour 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: preview of the seahawks upcoming game. This one a week 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: fifteen matchup against the La Rams on the road. It's 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: the second of two games on the road before you 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: come back home to Seattle for games against Chicago in 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: the Lions. But let me not get too far ahead 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: of myself. We're just taking it one game out of time. 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: So before we even get to the Rams, you guys, 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: I want to take a look back to Houston in 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: that win over the Texans. Now, Dave, I'll start with 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: you on this one. It was a phenomenal, a phenomenal 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: day for Rashad Penny. And we're going to have Rashad 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Penny on the huddle later today to talk to him 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: about that. But how can they repeat some of this 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: offensive success heading into a game against a better opponent? Frankly, well, 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, once you do something like that, you kind 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: of it's like getting a recipe and put it in 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: your back pocket. I get and we've been talking all 20 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: week on our show about how Houston was not great 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: on defense, especially against the run. But once you can 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: do something like that and you kind of prove it 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: to yourself. Look, I think the running game is is 24 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: good enough, but if you get a running back who's 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: special and can kind of make his own way through 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: you know part of it. I mean, some guys need 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: just a huge hole blown open in the defensive line 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: in order to run through it. I don't think I 29 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: think Penny could be one of those guys. And this 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: will be kind of an ongoing theme and I know 31 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it on our show today. 32 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: But the only person that needs to believe in Rashad 33 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: Penny is Rashad Penny, and that, to me, he proved 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: something to himself. So I'm hoping that he cracked some 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: sort of a barrier that, you know, going forward, he 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: can be that guy that you know, and there's all 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: kinds of benefits that come along with being able to 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: have a good run game, and that's slowing down the 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: pass rush and that's going to be are important this 40 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: week against the Rams. You know, Dave, one of the 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: things that I've been pointing to with that aspect of 42 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: Rashad Penny of yeah, you're absolutely right, maybe this is 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: an opportunity where he is starting to, you know, feel healthy, 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: feel more like himself, and build some genuine confidence, and 45 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: that's going to play into it and be a big 46 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: factor in this in this next game against the Rams. 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: The one thing that I'm really curious about is how 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: is Rashad Penny gonna do with generating yards after contact, 49 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: getting those really truly tough yards that are probably going 50 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to be asked of him to do against the Rams. 51 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: What's your confidence level that he'll be able to, you know, 52 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: play that style of game. I you know, it's just 53 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: fifty fifty Jake with me, because you know, he's one 54 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: of those guys. I love Rashad Penny just because I 55 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: think he's a thoughtful guy. I think he's very interesting. 56 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: I think he's introspective. I think he will tell you 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: what he's thinking. But sometimes you can think too much, 58 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, and so if he is able to get 59 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: that done again, I think he's one of the more 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: explode You can't say that he's not gifted, right as 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: far as you know, like he is a solid dude. 62 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's listed at two twenty five, 63 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: two thirty. He looks two forty to me. I mean, 64 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: he's just solid as can be. He can run you over, 65 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: he can do everything. He can catch it, he can 66 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: run it, he can you know, run around you. He 67 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: can run over you. So I feel like it's really 68 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: up to him. And like I said, I think it's 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: a fifty fifty venture here. You know, maybe he just, 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: like I said, crack some kind of a barrier and 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, because I don't know if you 72 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: remember that as an athlete, you know, Stacy, I think, 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: would you dislocate your elbow playing volleyball like that? You 74 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: know it was? It was the floors lava, dave floors law. 75 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: Now I was a swimmer, but um, I dislocated my 76 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: elbow playing the floors lava. Yeah, it was. I was 77 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: very young, very very young, a child if you will, 78 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I think, um, nineteen or twenty. Well, I mean look 79 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: for any athlete, any person that has ever you know, 80 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: ventured to do something like that. You know, like you 81 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: want to get better. There's there's these moments that you 82 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: have as an athlete at no matter at what level, 83 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: and you know, all when when you crack, you know, 84 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: like I said, you crack that barrier all of a sudden, 85 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, I know how to do this, man, 86 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: this is this is it, and I'm just hoping that 87 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: that's this last weekend was that moment with Rashad Penny 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: because he the other thing that he was doing, guys, 89 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: was he was stopping his feet. He was stopping his 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: feet on contact. And you saw the exact opposite of 91 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: that last weekend against Houston. So I'm really he's going 92 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: to be by far the most interesting player to watch 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: in this game. Guys, Let's talk a defense and we 94 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: can get back to offense, Jake, if you want to 95 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: wrap up with that. We still got some time here, 96 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: but let's talk about what the Seattle defense has been 97 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: able to do, not just against the Texans where they 98 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: obviously limited them, but against the past several opponents. I mean, 99 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: this is it's great news that the offense has scored 100 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: over thirty points against the forty nine ers and then 101 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: against the Texans. We'll see what they can do against 102 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: the Rams. The defense has been able to turn the 103 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: season around. Now, Quandre Diggs was asked, Hey, where do 104 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: you guys want to improve and he said, we're letting 105 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: away some leaky yards, you know, at bubble screens and 106 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: things like that. We could always be better with but 107 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: but we've eliminated some of those explosive plays. Well, they're 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: gonna face maybe their biggest challenge and Dave, I'll start 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: with you again here against the Rams. So how can 110 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: they make sure to kind of keep this up? Uh, 111 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's going to just be a continued 112 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: process of you know, and I like that Quadri Diggs, 113 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: by the way, mentioned the yardage. We're going to get 114 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: into that on our show. The yards matter. Man. I'm 115 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: sorry you can say, oh, points this and that, that's 116 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: and and yeah, ultimately, but the leaky yardage is that 117 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: that indicates a problem. Yeah, it indicates you're not playing together. 118 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: Indicates that you are not getting your offense to the ball. 119 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's the other thing. So if they can 120 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: continue to you know, shut the part nown now, it's 121 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: gonna be a tall task this weekend because you know, 122 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: it's one thing with Davis Mills or rookie quarterback. You know, 123 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: he went to Stanford. I don't know what that's supposed 124 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: to mean, but but you know, now all of a 125 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: sudden you got Matthew Stafford and Cooper cup I mean 126 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: those two guys right there. I mean, look, if there 127 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: was two guys that you know, I know there's a 128 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: long list of guys that aren't going to be able 129 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: to play man. They would be number one and two 130 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: on the list as far as you know. And I 131 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: know we'll get into it with you, Jake, but I 132 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: know Mark Schlareth has said that Cooper Cup is like 133 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback playing receiver. He understands that position really well. 134 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: So whenever I think about, you know, giving up yards, 135 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: those two come to mind. Yeah, And I fully anticipate 136 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: that as well when it comes to these two and 137 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: Mark Chalareth would be dead on and the way that 138 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup runs his routes, the way that he sees it, 139 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: the way that he has a feel. And honestly, that's 140 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: what Tyler Lockett has been so exceptionally good at as 141 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: well as having field. But I think that Sean McVay 142 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: has done an unbelievable job in continuing to move Cooper 143 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: Cup make him a factor, whether it's on the outside, 144 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: in the slot, at lighting up, at running back. They've 145 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: just done a They've put him in a variety of 146 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: different positions to continue to keep being targeted, continue to 147 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: keep being open, and give him opportunities to create mismatch 148 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: opportunities and underneath coverage and deep down the field. So 149 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: he is masterful. Then, Dave, you mentioned the leaky yardage 150 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: and how that affects you. Well, I imagine when you 151 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: talk about that aspect of watching them in this last 152 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: game in the first half, I mean a drive, a 153 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: sixteen play drive that shows up nearly nine minutes of clocks. 154 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: That's a big deal. That's a big deal. You do 155 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: you never want to see that? Yeah, exactly. You know, 156 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I was going through the last time that we played 157 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: the Rams, and there was two long drives in the 158 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: first half. I think it was like sixty four and 159 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: sixty three. Well, the sixty four yarder ended in an 160 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: interception with quandary digs in the end zone, and so 161 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, that was a painful drive to watch because 162 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: there was all kinds of problems that were that were 163 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: cropping up there. But in the end you got an interception. 164 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: The second drive was for a field goal. So the 165 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: Seahawks went in at halftime seven to three up on 166 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: the ramps and you're thinking great, but then guess what 167 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: comes in the second half. A ninety six yard drive 168 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: and eighty five yard drive. There was four drives or 169 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: three drives over sixty yards that all resulted in touchdowns, 170 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: and then they had the game ceiling field goal after 171 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, after Geno threw the the interception when when 172 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett fell down. But I mean, it just it 173 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: just wore them down. It was finally and that's you 174 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Giving up that the yards 175 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: and the play that stands out still from that first game. 176 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: That just drives me crazy. Jqu and I talked about it. 177 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Second seventeen linebackers jump the five yard route. It's just 178 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: you just can't do that. And so that's given up yards, 179 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, okay, well let's say you 180 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: hold him to a field goal or whatever. Now, I 181 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: mean that should have never happened in the first place. 182 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna look to see, you know what Quandre 183 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: is talking about. You know, hopefully they'll start to because 184 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: it indicates that you're playing together as a team when 185 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, and it also, like I said, it gets 186 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: you off the field. It gets your offense the ball back. 187 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: That's what you need to do on defense. That's that's 188 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: what it's about, all right. I want to bookmark this 189 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: conversation and get back to it. First though, We've got 190 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff coming up, so we're shod 191 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: Penny and Penny harp back to back player interviews that 192 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: starts at twelve thirty. Very excited to talk about Penny, 193 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: you guys, perfect timing, coming off a really exciting game 194 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: for him. We're gonna have tons of Seahawks experts and 195 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: a RAMS expert an hour two, so you're not gonna 196 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: want to go anywhere. First though, Let's catch up with 197 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: the latest from the Seahawks with Seahawks reporter John Boyle. 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: He joins us next on the huddle. Don't go anywhere. 199 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Huddle with Dave wim and 200 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: Jake Keeps and Stacy Ross. We're joined now by Seahawks 201 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: reporter John Boyle. John, how's it going. It's going all right? 202 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: How you guys doing good? Good? I'm going to start 203 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: with the news that broke earlier this afternoon, Wide receiver 204 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett and running back Alice Collins placed on the 205 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: reserve COVID list. Now in terms of just protocol, John, 206 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: and how it's going to work for potential availability on Sunday, 207 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: tell us what we need to know, yeah, you know, 208 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: assuming those guys are vaccimated, then I mean they almost 209 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: the entire roster, and so we'll operate off that assumption. 210 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: Then they do have a chance to get back, but 211 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: they would need to be asystematic and unless you know, 212 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: they've been talk about the league maybe changing some protocols 213 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: because so many guys are are currently on the cover list, 214 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: But under the existing roles, they would have to test 215 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: negative consecutive days twenty four hours apart, and it can't 216 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: be on game day, so earlier you're looking at, it 217 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: would have to be tomorrow and Saturday. So yeah, we'll 218 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: see what happens, but obviously not an ideal situation for 219 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks late in the week. Hey, John, they have 220 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: done such a great job the Seahawks have with uh yeah, um, 221 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm forgetting his last name for some reason, Sam Sam Ramsden, 222 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: who has done a really good job. Pete Carroll. I 223 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: mean that they take a lot of pride in that. 224 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: It sure pays off, you know when you when you 225 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: look at what's going on around the rest of the league, right, 226 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: is there any teams that are even I know it's 227 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: not a competition, well it kind of is. I think 228 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: everything is a competition with Pete. But I mean, as 229 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: far as other teams around the league, is anybody even 230 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: close to what the Seahawks have done. Yeah, you know, 231 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't have the executens, but I know they've you know, 232 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: last ye they were the only team that they didn't 233 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: have any positive tests during the season with their entire 234 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: roster this year, you know, up until today, it was 235 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: only Jerald Everett. Now, well, you know, we'll see hopefully 236 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: this is it. If it's just the two guys, that's 237 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: not ideal, but considering what's going on around the league, 238 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: that's better than a lot of teams have right now, 239 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: including this week's opponent. Obviously. I think that's six team 240 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: players on the list as of yesterday. So um, yeah, 241 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: I mean they've they've taken this very seriously. They've you know, 242 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll talked to say, they've been testing twice a 243 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: week all along when the legal and mandates testing once 244 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: a week, and you know, they're they've had pretty strict 245 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: protocols in place throughout this year, even you know, with 246 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: everybody vaccinated. So um, you know, unfortunately, a few cases 247 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: still sneak through, as we saw today, but they have 248 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: done a really good job, John. If Tyler is not 249 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: able to play in this game, is it solely your 250 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: all eyes turned to DK Mattcalf to come up with 251 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: the missing production or are you gonna be looking at 252 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: others to step up? I mean, I think you got it. 253 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: You can't make it all just Dk, because then you 254 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: know that that makes a little two easy on the 255 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: RAMS defense if they just know they got to focus 256 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: on one guy. I think part of what makes us 257 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: thet's passing him so good is that that element of 258 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: two really good receivers you out to account for, so 259 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, he becomes the guy and not It's not 260 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: a one and one a situation like Julia. But I 261 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: think you're gonna need to spread it around a little bit. 262 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: And whether it's a d Ask Grador, Freddy Swayne or 263 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: get involved your tight ends more. You're you're gonna need 264 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: other guys to step up, for sure, because Tyler Luckett 265 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: has been your, you know, your top receiver for a 266 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: while now. In terms of production. You're listening to the 267 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: huddle we're talking with Seahawks dot Com reporter John Boyle, 268 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: John speaking of those wide receivers. I understand the context 269 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: of d Eskridge missing a significant amount of time here, 270 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: so I do know that got to add that disclaimer. 271 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: But why do you think we haven't seen more of 272 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: him lately? I mean, I think you just gave the 273 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: disclaimer is to why. I think it just took a 274 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: while to feel like they gotten him up to speed 275 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: that that particular position. I think it's harder on a 276 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: apiece has been just throughout any other maybe other than quarterback, 277 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: to come right in the league and thrive right away. 278 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: So that's probably been the biggest thing. And then you know, 279 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: so many different issues talked about. This offense has been 280 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, the third down and not enough total plays 281 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 1: to get in everything they want, and it's hard to 282 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: get everybody involved in offense the way you want to 283 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: win a lot of these games. Their time of possession 284 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: is so low, and they're running you know, forty some 285 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: offensive plays and the opponents again seventy something. So they've 286 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: been a lot better the last couple of weeks, and 287 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: I think, you know worse. I mean, for a second 288 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: of tilog, it doesn't make it back. I would think 289 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: that does mean more for the sk week, But yeah, 290 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean bad Angryan pictures haven't been able to have 291 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: quite the impactly what I hoped of the Hey, John, 292 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you know this, but probably John, 293 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know everything, Boyle, come on, okay, 294 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: who's playing Cooper Cup in practice? You know? And also 295 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald, I mean, I'm sure do they very 296 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: carefully select the guys that are going to be because 297 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: I would think if you bestow that on, you know, 298 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: one of the backup guys or scout team guys, and 299 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: you know that they might take a lot of pride 300 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: in that. You know, I don't have the answer for 301 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: you your your initial thing. If you may not know 302 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: this was accurate, I don't know who it is, but 303 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I mean, both of those guys, whoever it is, hopefully 304 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: they're giving the shots a good look because those two 305 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: guys have been two of the most dominant players in 306 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: the NFL this season at their respective positions. It's what 307 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: Cups doing this year is just insane when you look 308 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: at the numbers and you know it's a tat thank 309 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: you got to bring it on even more since what's 310 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: been out with his But yeah, that's he's going to 311 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: be a handful of question saying they both are going 312 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: to be big handfuls for the Sehawks and probably the 313 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: two guys you get to talk about having to stop 314 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: the most, you know, John, going on that aspect of it, 315 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: it is, you know, unique that you see the defense 316 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: improving and improving and doing fairly well in some major 317 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: defensive categories, points given up in terms of red zone defense, 318 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: in terms of third down defense. Do you view this 319 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: game as you know, the legitimate test of whether or 320 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: not this defense has really really improved or how do 321 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: you view this matchup for them defensively? Yeah, I mean, 322 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: for sure you go back and look at kind of 323 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: the turning point started after that first Rams game. You know, 324 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk this week about the 325 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: explosive plays and gave up thirteen explosives in that game, 326 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: which was a season high for them, and they are 327 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: number one in the NFL and that stats fence. So 328 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: they played some some good team they have. Green Bay 329 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: is obviously talented, and you have Aaron Rogers and Davon 330 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: t Adams all that out there, and then forty nine 331 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: Ers can do some really good things on offense. So 332 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: it's not like they haven't played a good defense against 333 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: good teams. But yeah, in terms of both just overall 334 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: quality of opponent and also, you know, you look at 335 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: a history, they've had trouble at this Ram's offense in 336 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: the past. So it's a really good test for sure, 337 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: and I think we'll get a good sense for just 338 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: how good this defense is depending on what they can 339 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: do this week. Hey, it sounds out of left field, 340 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: but I'm looking at some of the conversation around Pro 341 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: Bowl votes. I mean, what's been your kind of takeaway 342 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: about special teams play this year? John, I mean, they've 343 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: been really good, and I think you know, there's questions 344 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: come up a few times this week about that bodity 345 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: if they ranked thirty second in total defense in terms 346 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: of yardage and fifth and scoring defense and special teams 347 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: are a big part of that. You look at you know, 348 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: they're two of the best things I've done this year 349 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: is Michael Bison's punting in their kickoff coverage and those 350 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: two things when you do go as well, you give 351 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: teams long field, So yeah, team might get a bunch 352 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: of yards on a drive, but they still might not 353 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: get in the field goal rained or you know, you 354 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: make them work that much harder to move the ball 355 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: down the field, and that's it's been really really good. 356 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: You know, Jason Myers has missed some kicks. Obviously they 357 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: need him to start making down the stretch because you 358 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: know eventually a game is going to come down to that. 359 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: But really, other than some missed kicks, they've done just 360 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: not everything well on special teams. Do you get to 361 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: the sense Nick Blair has played for a pretty good 362 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: amount of time, Like you know, he's what is he 363 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: in his like tenth eleventh year right now? Even think yeah, 364 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: I mean he's still playing at a really high level 365 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: and it's amazing when you watch him play linebacker in 366 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: the preseason. I mean, I think he's a good linebacker, um, 367 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, and he's just kind of coming back into 368 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: the fold in that way. Does he strike you as 369 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: a guy that maybe has another couple three more years? 370 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean I would think though, as if he wants 371 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: to do and his body holds up, I mean, he's 372 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: he's still out there, you know among the NFL leaders 373 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: and in special team is tackled. You know. I think 374 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: it's easy to overlook because people don't pay ten and 375 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: special things, but there's a big leadership element involved too, 376 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: because you know, as you know Dave a lot of 377 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: times those guys on special teams is they're young guys, 378 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: they're the new guys of the team. So when you 379 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: have a guy who's done it that long, who can 380 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: show these young guys, look, you can make a eleven 381 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: year career out of this if you take it seriously 382 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: and do it well, that rubs off on guys. So yeah, 383 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been outstanding. And then just the versatility 384 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: that it almost buys you an extra roster spot when 385 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: you've got a guy who's, you know, the fullback when 386 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: you need a fullback, but he's also when your backup linebackers. 387 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: He's just been a great player. And then he's just 388 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: obviously as we're seeing on the social media and everything, 389 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: he's just so entertaining and well. And if he were 390 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: here right now, I'd say Nick, ignore the bald spot, 391 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: to ignore that. Keep going, man. It doesn't mean that 392 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: you're an old man, because he really is. He's rejuvenated. 393 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's amazing watching him play. I 394 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: go to him for the latest Seahawks news, Seahawks analysis. Uh, 395 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: he is awesome.

Great talking to 400 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: you guys as well. See. Yeah, all right, we've got 401 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: some really exciting player guests. Now we're gonna start with 402 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: the star of this past win over the Houston Texans. 403 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: He was running back Rashad Penny. Career high and carries 404 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: career high and yards two touchdown. Game of fantastic performance. 405 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: We can't wait to ask him about that. Next on 406 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: the huddle, don't go anywhere. Second down and seven run 407 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: by Penny left side, breaks one tackle, first down, he 408 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: is gone thirty twenty ten, five touchdown Seahawks. Rashad Penny 409 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: breaks in at the line of scrimmage and takes off 410 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: for forty seven yards. There's a hundred plus day for 411 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. One hundred thirty seven yards for just Rashad Penny. 412 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: What a game. And if you keep doing that, if 413 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: you keep pounding that line of scrimmage and the defense, 414 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: one of these is gonna break. And Rashad has had 415 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: two of them break today. That was Seahawks running back 416 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: Rashad Penny. He's coming off the practice field, gonna join 417 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: us in about thirty seconds, coming off a career high 418 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: for him sixteen carries, one hundred and thirty seven yards, 419 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and guys, I feel it's only fair to 420 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: mention he also did have one target, one catch, one yard, 421 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: one receiving yard. I feel like it's very important that 422 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: I know thought so one hundred and thirty eight yards 423 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: from scrimmage, don't get it wrong. And in Rashad Penny 424 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: is joining us right now. Rashad, how's it going coming 425 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: off a great week? How do you feel? I feel 426 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: I feel great. I mean, you know, just no, just 427 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: just just excited, you know, happy about being back out 428 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: there and just putting together an injury free game and 429 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: just playing with confidence. It was probably one of the 430 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: best failings in the world for me. Well, that's great. 431 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: That's what I want to ask you, Rashad, because and 432 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you process, if process the game 433 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: the way that that I used to, But was there 434 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: a moment in that game that was your best game? 435 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: Was there a moment like a stiff arm or a 436 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: move or something that you did that just kind of 437 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: clicked that that kind of made you think, Okay, I'm 438 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna have a good day. Did you have Did you 439 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: notice any moments like that as the game went on. 440 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, I'll take every approach like that to 441 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: every everything I do in life. No, no, besides football 442 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: life in general, you know, being a man, mature, just 443 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: being just growing up. So I mean, I know what 444 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: I can do in a football field, like I believe 445 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: to myself. That's no secret. Um I wasn't really satisfied 446 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: because I know what I can do. Like I've just 447 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: been I've just been off the field. I mean I've 448 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: like havn't been healthy. So I always had confidence in 449 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: my ability. I always knew what I can do how 450 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: to do it. It just about me just being available 451 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: and showing on the field and doing that existent rape. 452 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: But um man, it was just it was just I 453 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: was just blessed and thankful just to be back on 454 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: the field and playing as many steps as I did. 455 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, unfortunately my career just been I've 456 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: just been hurt.

Really, you know, Rashand it's one of 459 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: those things that is so unique because this is something 460 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: that has been completely different and new for you. You 461 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: haven't dealt with that, and so you know, this has 462 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: been you know, somewhat of an ongoing thing, and you know, 463 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: you can hear the frustration about, you know, having to 464 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: deal with all that and finally feeling like you're healthy 465 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: and ready to go and showing what you really really 466 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: can do and what you're really all about. How big, 467 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 1: how big of a transition was that for you, you know, 468 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: dealing with all that to now being in this position 469 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: and having this opportunity with four games remaining here in 470 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: this season. I mean, well, you know, every game is 471 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: important to us, no matter you know, what I do 472 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: or anybody else does. I mean, as long as we win, 473 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: I think that's the main goal. And we still believe, 474 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, despite whatever's going on, you know, in this 475 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: world or whatever's happening, you know, we still got beliefs 476 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: and you know, we still to go out and you know, 477 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: just compete at a high level every week. But um, 478 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's part of the that's part of 479 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: the game we play. You know. Uh, nobody said to 480 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: me before i've gotten drafted or you know, before I 481 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: became became here, like, oh, you're gonna have like I 482 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: hope and pray you have an injury, you know, free career. 483 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's part of the game we play. You know, 484 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: we know the consequences that come with it, but it's 485 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: just all about how we get up and how we 486 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: react to it. And you know, um, I thought it 487 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: was kind of hard for me the first time because 488 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: like I've never um torn anything and my body or 489 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: had anything to be done, you know, repaired on. So 490 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know that process or I didn't know, 491 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: so it was tough for me at first. But then again, 492 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: you know, we got support, you got motivation from teammates, family, 493 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: you know, et cetera. It all works out. No, I 494 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: blinked together, and um again, I'm thankful and I'm just 495 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: happy to keep just be able to contribute and play. 496 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Huddle with Dave Woyman, Jay Keeps, 497 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross. We're talking with running back Rashad Penny, 498 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: coming off a career high day sixteen carries, one hundred 499 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: and thirty seven yards. Rashad, you had two touchdowns. I know, 500 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: you're on the road, so I don't know if it 501 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: works quite the same. Were you able to keep both 502 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: touchdown balls and take them home? Yeah? Okay, good? I 503 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: was worried for okay good. Oh okay, my turn. All right. 504 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: Here here's an odd ball question, Rashad. You're probably tired 505 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: of answering questions about football. We got Christmas coming up 506 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: as a as a kid. What was your favorite Christmas 507 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: present that you received that was the most memorable? My favorite? 508 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: I used to have hot wheel cars. I used to 509 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: have a hot wheel collection, and you know, I used 510 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: to have probably over like in the fifteen uh like 511 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: little wheels collection things that come with it, and I 512 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: used to have like about ten of those full of cars. 513 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: So I think that was one of my biggest things, 514 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: was hot wheels and always getting the tracks and you know, 515 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: trying to race against somebody. I was just so competitive 516 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: as a kid, So I used to like that even 517 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: with hot wheels, you were out there, I'm gonna kick 518 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: your butt exactly, just rolling them on the ground and 519 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, seeing who goes far the furthest So how 520 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: it used to be fun to me. That's awesome. My 521 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: five year old is into that. Right now. So that's 522 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: that's awesome, Rushot. One of the things that you talked 523 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: about is your relationship that you have with Chris Carson. 524 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: And you know, during some of the struggles in the 525 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: adversity that you were going through, you know, Chris was 526 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: there for you and he was there, you know, super 527 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: supportive and and all that. What has this been what 528 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: has this process been like? As you see now Chris 529 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,479 Speaker 1: you know, on the flip side dealing with his own 530 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: injury in his own battle. Uh, you know, have you 531 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to you know, flip rolls here and 532 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: be there for him? Um, you know he my first 533 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: day here, I think Chris accepted me right away. I 534 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: think literally after I got drafted, the first message I 535 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: have was from Chris. And from there it's like we bonded. 536 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: Um definitely with men and him, football is like life 537 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: is bigger than football, and um, you know that's like 538 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: literally someone you know, we can we just have a 539 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: relationship that like I think it's like pretty cool and 540 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: pretty tight. And um, you know, I I tried. I 541 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: encourage him as much as I can, as much as 542 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: he did with me. I mean every day we're texting, 543 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: I'm checking in, you know, seeing how he's doing, you know, 544 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: wishing him well with surgery. I know, I know just 545 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: who he is and how hard he worked. I'm I'm 546 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: not even phazed. He's going to be back, and um, 547 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think all the running backs just being 548 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: there for him, you know, just sitting in a group 549 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: message and you know, just sending each other message, encouraging 550 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: each other, uplifting. You know, he's an amazing guy. You know, 551 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: he's done the same thing for all of us is Um, 552 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: it could be a little toe injury, pretty sure, Chris 553 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: will be the first one to you know, just always 554 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: just give you the right words and you know, just 555 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: tell you the right things.

So he's good. I think, Yeah, 560 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: that's awesome. The special bond that you guys have or 561 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: shot you know onto you know, this week it's a 562 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: huge matchup. Man, It's a big game for a lot 563 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: of different reasons. Obviously, you guys are trying to take 564 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: this one and oh and go every single week and 565 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: win every single week. But obviously this one there's there's 566 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 1: a lot at stake here. How excited are you for 567 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: this matchup?

I mean that That's been my 570 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: whole approach since playing football. I mean, I never try 571 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: to hype up anything, you know, just go out there 572 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: and just stick to the game, playing to execute. I mean, 573 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: I think that's the number one thing. And then you 574 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: know it's always trying. She's always going out there just 575 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: trying to win. I mean, I believe, you know, and 576 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: everybody else in this building believe we can do what 577 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: we can we can do what what's the what we 578 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: can do? And that's something that I'm going out there 579 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: to la and just playing a game and you know, 580 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: just coming back and just doing the right things.

Rashad 582 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: and Jacob asked some great questions, but I think purposely 583 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: tried to extend those so I wouldn't be able to 584 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: ask you whether or not Rudolph was a Top three 585 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: Christmas song.

We'll have to get back to it. 602 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna be joined by wide receiver penny Hartnecks don't 603 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: go anywhere, all right, Colin an audible here on the 604 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: huddle with Dave Wyman, Ja Keeps and Stacy Ross, penny 605 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: Hart had to cancel, and what we're gonna do is 606 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: instead take you live to Russell Wilson, he is speaking 607 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: with reporters. Take a listen. How worrisome. I guess this 608 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: whole whole week then, And I said, I feel like 609 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: you're just trying to avoid the landline every day you get. 610 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 1: I feel like for the past two years, we've been 611 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: trying to avoid everything happening. You know, it's it's it's 612 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: really it's been. It's um, you know, all jokes aside, 613 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty serious matter. Just in generalize what we've been 614 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: saying for a long time, everybody's been saying. Um, you know, 615 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: I think the reality of of covid is is, you know, 616 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: it can affect anybody you know, and it can impact 617 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: anybody and everything else. And so you know, I'm praying 618 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: for Guy Tyler obviously that he feels better every day 619 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: and if you know, if anything's going on with him 620 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: and everything else. So I just think that you know, 621 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: anybody who's gone through it, who has faced it, who's 622 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: going to face to anybody who's battling with it right 623 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: now currently, Um, you know, I really believe that. Um. 624 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully at some point we'll come come out 625 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: of this and the other end of it, and just 626 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: praying that they can stay healthy. You change through ramp 627 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: up any of your own precautions. I've always been taking 628 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: precautions along the along the way. UM. You know, obviously 629 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: we we uh we test here and then UM we 630 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: test at the house and everything else all the time, 631 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: and and everything else constantly, you know, every day pretty 632 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: much at our house. You know, people anybody who comes 633 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: near or gone anywhere anything else. So it's one of 634 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: those things that UM, you know, it's been part of 635 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: our lifestyles, has changed all of our lives in so 636 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: many different ways. UM. And uh you know, I pray 637 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: that UM every day that we can get better and 638 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: trust trying to find better ways to keep each other safe. 639 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: I think what's super important as we all wear a 640 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: mask as much as possible, UM, stay away from you know, 641 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: people as much as possible. UM. But at the same time, 642 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, just knowing that everybody has family members and 643 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: everybody has loved ones and UM, some elderly, some young, 644 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: Some people have asthma, some people have you know, may 645 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: have had cancer, you know, different circumstances. You know, so 646 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: everything is um, you know a lot of people's lives 647 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: are over the line, you know, and so we have 648 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: to protect everybody as much as possible. You look at 649 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: the game from Sunday, how did Rasha look different in 650 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: the style of running versus pous. I thought RuSHA Opinnion 651 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: did an amazing job running the football. I think the 652 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: first play the game really set the tone how he 653 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: ran the ball. He put his shoulder down, um. And 654 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: then shortly after that the same thing again. I think 655 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: it's the second and third play after that. I mean, 656 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: just he set the tone physically, Um, he used the 657 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: speed in his hour, which he has. You know, both 658 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: of those things at a high level. I thought that 659 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: was very evident, um, And so I thought he ran 660 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: the ball extremely well. You WoT for a downhill for you, 661 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: I would say that he's always looked downhill, but I 662 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: think he looked super decisive. I think that this moment 663 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: he's been waiting forward to really get back out there 664 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: and show what he's been doing at practice and really 665 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: be able to have that opportunity to shine. And he 666 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: did a tremendous job shining. The other day. We got 667 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: to do it again, you know. That's the thing. You know, 668 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: every day we step out in the field get to 669 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: do it again, and I know he's ready for that 670 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: challenge and he's looking forward to it. Rus. What's it 671 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: been like for you watching Tyler Lockey get into a 672 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: thousand year OD season under his belt and then knowing 673 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: today that he might not be available for you this 674 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: weekend him? Well, I think for Tyler um watching just 675 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: Tyler be so explosive over the years and a little 676 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: place he's made. He works at his game every day. 677 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: I think he's one of the best receivers in the 678 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: National Football League. I think DK Metcalf is an dust 679 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: receiver in the league. And so I'm fortunate to be 680 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: able to have two extremely extremely talented players. But they 681 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: love the game. You know, they love the game. They 682 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: spend so much time on it every day and they're 683 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: wildly obsessed with the process in the game. And so 684 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: they're throwing those two guys, you know something great's going 685 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: to happen. And so with Tyler, he's just been making 686 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: amazing plays for his whole career. I think he's the 687 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: best toe tapper in the in the league. You know, 688 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: he's got an amazing ability to do it. And so 689 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: I just try to give him a chance and let 690 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: him do his thing. The conversations with Aaron Donald not 691 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: necessarily fall in the field during the game, and he's 692 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: had conversations with him outside of the game day, not 693 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: too much. I mean, he's so focused. I'm so focused. 694 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: We're always busy. But when we see each other, you know, 695 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: if we ever see each other and everything else, we'll 696 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: definitely you know, say hello to each other and everything else. 697 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: He's such a tremendous player. I mean, I think, uh, 698 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, Aaron's been able to make Aaron Donald's been 699 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: on to make so many plays over the years, just 700 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: throughout his career, um, and I think that he's such 701 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: a factor. He watched the game the other night. He's 702 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: just such a factor in that game. And so for 703 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: us to be able to neutralize him as much as possible, 704 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: slow him down, He's gonna make his plays, you know, 705 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: and he just you know, he just does. You knows 706 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: out he's a superstar. You know. I can make his 707 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: plays it here and there, but to be able to 708 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: make sure it's not a major factor is always the key. Out. 709 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: How's he feeling, Yeah, I spoken Tyler. Tyler and I 710 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, called each other earlier that I've been obviously 711 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: here busy, you know, with meetings and everything else. But 712 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: he's feeling pretty good. Do you do you hold out? 713 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: I hope he's gonna play. Are you preferring your mind? 714 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that this potential who knows we'll see this 715 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: week felt and looked with all the seems like there's 716 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: an added tighten sense of what where it iss with everything? 717 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: How is that looking to? Um? I think here, you know, 718 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: we've done a tremendous job throughout the two years of 719 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: COVID just being extremely careful. Um. You know, we've been 720 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: fortunate not to have, you know, really anything along the way. 721 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of things here or there, but um, 722 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: we've been really you know, conscientious of each other, teller's 723 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: families and just our city and trying to be as 724 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: as careful as possible. And and even when you are 725 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: as you know, older careful a guy like Tyler, you know, 726 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, something could happening. We never know, 727 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: you know, So, um, this thing's in the air, and um, 728 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: it's all around us, and so we have to be 729 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: very conscientious of washing our hands, you know, making sure 730 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: we're wearing our masks and pretty much at all times, UM, 731 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: and just caring for each other and doing everything that 732 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: we can possible, you know, um, you know, and that's 733 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: that's where the vaccine is so important, and booster shots 734 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: and all that and you know, and UM, if you know, 735 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it's gonna stop it. It just means, 736 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, something happens. Hopefully it can help us, you know, 737 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: heal better and feel better and everything else. But you guys, yeah, 738 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: I've been vaccinated, um both times or whatever vaccinated, and 739 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: then I've also been taken the booster shot as well. 740 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: If Tyloin doesn't play. How big of a loss is 741 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: that anytime you don't have Tyler in there. It's it's 742 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: always tough, you know, you always want your guy in there. 743 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: But we have tremendous receivers. Obviously, DK Um such a star, um, 744 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: you know, and then we have so many other guys 745 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: that can step in. These guys practice your butts off 746 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: every day. Guys like Penny Hart, Guys like Aaron Fool 747 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: or Cody Thompson, these guys, you know, Dscrow, These guys 748 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: practice at the highest level every day. Freddie Swains of 749 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: the world, you know, and so I have all the 750 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: confidence and the guys that we have the last game, 751 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: but we'll have a Gerald this time against the Rooms 752 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: for years. Yeah, I mean, obviously Gerald Everett is as 753 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: a freaking nature how he's been on a score and 754 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: catch the football and make plays for us. You know, 755 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: we want to be able to get eighty one in football. Obviously, 756 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: he's really really talented. I love his approach. Every day 757 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: he comes with the right approach. He's relaxed, he's calm, 758 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: he understands the game, he understands what we want to do, 759 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: how we want to do it. I thought he had 760 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: a great game you know the other day. Obviously calling 761 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: that touchdown was huge for us. And he's just you 762 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: knows how to find the end zone already yesterday You've 763 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: got quarterbacks on either side of the smash up the 764 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: legend throw a DP ball, but they do it very 765 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: different way. So you've got the boot ball. Matthew Stafford 766 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: is a little bit more on the road. Who taught 767 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: me to throw the Why is that your style of 768 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: throwing the DP? Just? I think, you know, obviously Matthew's 769 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: got such a tremendous ability to throw the ball. Um, 770 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, put it where he needs to put it. 771 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: He's having a great year, I think, for you know, 772 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: and I've always loved watching him. Um, I think we 773 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for each other, and uh, 774 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: you know, I I have a lot of respect for 775 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: Matthew Matthew Stafford outside of the game, you know, him 776 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: and his wife and just all the things they've gone through. Um, 777 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's uh my Goach Children's Hospital. 778 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: I think about the families and people, and I think 779 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: about even Matthew's family and and his wife and just 780 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: what she's been through. He's resilient. You know. You can 781 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: tell he's a resilient guy. And so that's what I 782 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: respect about him in his game. In terms of the 783 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: deep ball, you know, Um, you know, I think that 784 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: uh he throws it with the best stup mobviously, and 785 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: we both obviously can put it where we need to 786 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: when it comes to that. And uh, um, he's he's 787 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: extremely talented. I love watching him play. All Right, The 788 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: offense and the offensive line is going to have a 789 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: big test against the Rams this Sunday, So let's go 790 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 1: to an expert to ask him about it. We're going 791 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: in the trenches with Ray Roberts. Next, this is the 792 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,919 Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We are 793 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: an hour two now of a two hour preview show 794 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: for the seahawks upcoming game against the La Rams. This 795 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: one is going to be on the road. Seahawks are 796 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: going to head back home after this, but first you 797 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: gotta get this win against an NFC West opponents. So 798 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: we are going to go in the trenches with Ray Roberts, 799 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: just as we do every single Thursday on the huddle. 800 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: So we're going to start, obviously with an offensive focus. 801 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: It'll be a big challenge against the Rams. Ray, tell 802 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: me what we need to know. Let's start with this 803 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: Rams defensive line and the challenge the Seahawks will have. Well, 804 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: in the past, even when the Seahawks for had a 805 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: good offensive line and they're rocking and rolling, the Rams 806 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: defensive line has always given them problems. And I think 807 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it. Obviously you have Aaron Donald in 808 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,240 Speaker 1: the middle, who's just a beast, but also they've always 809 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: had like a very athletic deep and so they move around, 810 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: they don't stand in one spot, they slant, they run games, 811 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: all those different kinds of thing. So I think that 812 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: has great a challenges for the Seahawks offensive line over 813 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 1: the years, and now they have um from Denver von 814 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: Miller and then Floyd I think last year he had 815 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: well sacks against talks to something like that. Yeah, that's 816 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: going to be something to deal with. So I like 817 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: the energy that they had coming off the Texas game, 818 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: but obviously this defensive line is a different beast to 819 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: deal with. Well, they also got that Greg Gaines guy. 820 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: And I was talking to DeMarco Farr down there Ray 821 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: who does their sidelines, and he said that guy's playing 822 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: really well too. So I mean, I don't know, is 823 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: there a is there a defensive line that has more 824 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: talent because they have it both inside that Sebastian Day 825 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: is a pretty good player. I don't think he's going 826 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: to be gained because of the COVID, but they've got 827 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: inside and outside the edge rush rushers if you as 828 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: you've mentioned, and then von Miller he hasn't even gotten 829 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: a sack yet as a ram. So yeah, it just 830 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: it just seems like they just keep coming. Well, first 831 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 1: of all, great to hear you back, big Dave, and 832 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: uh and better and uh hear you're back on the 833 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: on the air and everything. So I'm glad you got 834 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: to all of that. But the one thing I like 835 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: about the Rams defensive line is that everyone kind of 836 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: knows what their role is. Like a lot of times 837 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: you have defensive defensive units that have a bunch of talent, 838 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: but everybody wants to be the guy and so then 839 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 1: they tend to try to do more than what they've 840 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: been asked to do and it can kind of mess 841 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: things up. But the Rams, they all seem to be 842 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: locked in too. They know that Aaron Donald is the 843 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: alpha male and he's gonna you know, they're gonna try 844 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: to get him free more than more times than not. 845 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: But with all those other pieces, it makes it really 846 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: hard for you to thedn't say, Okay, we're just gonna 847 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: double team Aaron Donald on every single play, because especially 848 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: with the Seahawks offensive line, there's there's chances for a 849 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: guy like Leonard Floyd to get loose or a guy 850 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: for like Miller to get loose. So it's gonna be 851 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: really interesting how they pick and choose when they double 852 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald and when they take their chances that manage 853 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: him up so that maybe they can help or take 854 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: advantage of other places. Ray, you bring up a great 855 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: point from that aspect of the defensive line and how 856 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: you know fluid it is across the board. Aaron Donald 857 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: could play defensive end at one point, he could play 858 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: you know, three technique, one technique. You just all over 859 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,800 Speaker 1: the place and that makes your protection plan extremely difficult. 860 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: So Ray, the easy answer is to say, hey, run 861 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: the football, run the football, muck it up. That's what 862 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 1: you gotta do, right, But from a very simplistic point 863 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: of view in you in your watching of you know, 864 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, because I think that's exactly where 865 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: this game is gonna be won and lost. How do 866 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: you go about it? I mean, is it just simply 867 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna line up and try to bully you. Is 868 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: there a certain way, a certain scheme that it seems 869 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: to be more favorable. I mean, it's just there's so 870 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: much more than just saying, well, you gotta run the football. 871 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: I think Ray gonna go with bully. I was just 872 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 1: about to say, Man, I need to like have Jake 873 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 1: as like my day like inspiration coach, because every time 874 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 1: I get on this call and you start talking off 875 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: as the line, Jake, I want to run through the 876 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: freaking window. Like as soon as you said the answers 877 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: run the ball and like Bully, Like soon as Bully 878 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: came up, I'm like, yeah, that's what we should do. 879 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,320 Speaker 1: But in the times when Seattle has had some success 880 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 1: against this defense, it's when they have run the ball. 881 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: And the one thing I the one thing I watched 882 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: last week, and you can say, like, well, obviously the 883 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: Texas defensive line. It's not the Rams defensive line, but 884 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: the mindset that I saw, and I think the thing 885 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 1: that's crazy is that after the first couple of runs, 886 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,760 Speaker 1: when I think when the offensive line realized how committed 887 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,720 Speaker 1: Rashard Penny was to run in the football, it changed 888 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: their mindset of how they wanted to give him opportunities 889 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: to run the football. So there was more grind, there 890 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: was more strange, there was more finished, there was more 891 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: want to, There was more will, There was more, like 892 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: you said, just mucking it up. And it wasn't pretty 893 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 1: every time, but everybody was working extra hard to give 894 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: this dude a chance to run the ball to tight ends. 895 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: We're doing that. Uh. D Esperts had two great blocks 896 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: on both of those touchdown runs. So everybody in the 897 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: offense was committed to having this dude be successful, and 898 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: I think they and I think that was a result 899 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: of Rashard Penny not avoiding hits. And there were the 900 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: times where he just could run out of bounds or 901 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: get down or whatever. He did that, but when it 902 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: was appropriate for him to take you to get behind 903 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 1: his paths and run through people, he did that too. 904 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 1: And that's not what you've seen a lot in Rashard 905 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: Penny since he's been here. So as he felt comfortable 906 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: being who was Shard Penny was, it allowed the offense 907 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: to be like, you know what, like we're gonna we're 908 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: gonna let it all hang loose for this, and so 909 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what it has to be for the Rams. 910 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have to take the good with 911 00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: the bad, but stay committed to running the ball. It 912 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: may not be pretty every time every block like Jake 913 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 1: Current like not everything he did was beautiful. Like sometimes 914 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, I don't know how you actually actually 915 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: did that, but you did it. You know. Yes, definitely 916 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: it has to be that way. Yeah, it definitely does. 917 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: And so my next question Ray is I definitely saw 918 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: Rashade Penny be more aggressive in his running style in 919 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 1: certain situations, and I definitely get what you're saying in 920 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: terms of picking and choosing. I think this is a 921 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: big challenge for Rashade Penny. We know the home run 922 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: hitter or the type of running back that he can be, 923 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't necessarily proven that he can be consistent in 924 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: terms of getting the ugly yards, the yards after contact. 925 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: Do you think he can do that? I think he can. 926 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: I think if he can, if he's playing without fear 927 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: of being injured, I think that he will run hard 928 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 1: when it's when it's time for him to run hard 929 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,359 Speaker 1: and try to get those extra yardage. And then those 930 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: times where he's going to be a little lighter on 931 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: his feet and wait for a block to develop so 932 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: he can maybe get a bigger home run hit. I 933 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: think he'll do that because that's what I saw. Like 934 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: even if you if you watched the replay when he 935 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: scored his first touchdown, I think he was surprised, Like 936 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: I think he got into the end like that's why 937 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: he couldn't figure out what to celebrate. It's just like fight, 938 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 1: Did I flex on him? Shall I do some kind 939 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: of dance? Should Should I jump into stands like. You 940 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: can just tell he was like, oh crap, I made it, 941 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, and uh and so. But after that his 942 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: confidence grew, and the offensive lines confidence grew, and they 943 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: just they all have to be committed to saying, you 944 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: know what, you're playing against Aaron Donald, one of the 945 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: best to ever play the game. He's gonna make his plays, 946 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: but you can't allow his playmaking or his one or 947 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: two or three plays he made to diminish your will 948 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: to make this thing work. And so I think that's 949 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 1: what they have to do. Hey, I'm curious what you 950 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: think a bit about the depth that the offensive line 951 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: has right now. They could be playing without Brandon Shell. 952 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: He's going to be kind of a wait and see 953 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: this week in all likelihoods. So curious Ray to know 954 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: what you think about their depth specifically at tackle, but 955 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: just along the line right now. Well, I mean it's 956 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: it's really thin. I think Jake, you know, obviously, is 957 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,959 Speaker 1: out there doing the best he can. Sometimes you're gonna 958 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: lose some stuff in pass protection. I don't know that 959 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 1: he's like, uh, the most athletic dude to be over 960 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,280 Speaker 1: there against a guy like the von Miller or Floyd 961 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to do things to help that way. Uh. 962 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 1: And then with the guard positions, hopefully those guys can 963 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 1: can stay healthy because when you have to then move 964 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: the tackle in the guard and put foresights out a 965 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 1: tackle who doesn't have a whole lot of reps, I 966 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: think then you really really do start to decline along 967 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line. So I think, you know, Jake is 968 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: a good utility guy to work with, not not because 969 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: he has all the skill set, but the dude is 970 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: just he's just like a launch pail dude. Like he's 971 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: he's a guy you know, if you're gonna get in 972 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: a foxhole and have to fight your way out. He 973 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: seems like a dude that you want to have in 974 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: a foxhole, and that's always a good thing. Hey, Ray, 975 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things I've been saying about Penny, 976 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 1: I think I said it to him a couple of 977 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: years ago that I wish you would run people over more, 978 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, and he's not gonna listen to me, but um, 979 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: but for you as an offensive lineman, did you did 980 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: you ever have an experience with, like with a running 981 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: back where you're like, hey, dude, this is what you 982 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 1: need to do, man, this is where you're at your best. 983 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: Have you ever kind of kind of coached running backs up? 984 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: Did you? Did you ever? You know, because I feel like, 985 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, everybody loves encouragement. Yeah. Well, I mean when 986 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 1: I played here, and you know, we had Chris Warren 987 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 1: and Chris Chris Warren was six two and two hundred 988 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: and thirty some pounds, but he was more of a 989 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: glider of a runner, more of a kind of bounce 990 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: it to the outside type. Do. But I had known 991 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: Chris since college because he played one year with me 992 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 1: at Virginia before he transferred to a smaller school. Uh, 993 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: And so I've known I had known Chris for a while, 994 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: so I had a different relationship with him. And so 995 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, there were times I'm like Chris, like, man, 996 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: like we like you ran out of pounds with like 997 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: one yard before the yard marker, Man, go get that 998 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: first down, you know, like things like that, get your 999 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 1: past down. Now. When I got to Detroit, they had 1000 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: this dude named Barry Sanders. Yeah, I didn't tell him much. 1001 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 1: Tints Barry, you would have this thought in your brain 1002 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: and then you'd look down and just saying a number twenty, 1003 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 1: you go like, yeah, I'm gonna keep that one to myself. 1004 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,800 Speaker 1: And Ray was telling him, hey, man, you got it 1005 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 1: all wrong with this juke and people. That's no good. 1006 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: You put your head down. How's that serving you? Burry? Like, 1007 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,439 Speaker 1: nothing's happening, Like you're not gaining a two thousand yards 1008 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,839 Speaker 1: in this season. But you can be so like yeah, 1009 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: but he wasn't. He was not the guy to take 1010 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 1: that too, you know what I'm saying. So, but yeah, 1011 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: Like and with Chris Warren it was different than the customer. 1012 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: Relationship with him was different. Um, and I had known 1013 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: him for a long long time, even before I came here, 1014 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,879 Speaker 1: so it was easier to have that conversation. But with Barry, nah, 1015 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: you're not having that conversation. He might look at you 1016 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 1: like you're crazy. Good stuff, as always from Ray Roberts. 1017 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: We go in the trenches with Ray every single week 1018 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: on the Huddle.

Well, I you know, I will admit that 1029 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 1: it was. It was lovely seeing his fresh face today 1030 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 1: as we did our work this morning, did our taping, 1031 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: and it will be lovely to see him in the booth.

I am. 1036 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 1: I might have a little spot in my in my 1037 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 1: dark cold heart for for Dave. Well, I'll say this, 1038 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,399 Speaker 1: he would not stop texting me. Okay, I'm like, okay enough, 1039 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: Steve like more than my wife, Y Rabel. Uh. We 1040 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: were Obviously we've already been talking about went over the Texans, 1041 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 1: but we're looking ahead to the Rams. It seems like 1042 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: the Rams have always had the upper hand against the Seahawks. Now, 1043 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have gotten a few wins against Sean mcvagh, 1044 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: but normally they've kind of had their number. What's been 1045 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: the key in the times that they have won, well, Stacy, 1046 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: when you go back to nineteen seventy six, let me know, uh, 1047 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, the key for the Rams is there. In 1048 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 1: my estimation, they put you in positions where they they 1049 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 1: force you to make plays sometimes or or do some 1050 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 1: things that you don't want to do. And quite frankly, 1051 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: in this situation, it's they do do enough to stop 1052 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 1: the run, or at least they have, and they force 1053 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 1: you into throwing the ball, and that forces you into 1054 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: the teeth of their defense. That's when they are at 1055 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: their toughest, when they're rushing the pastor now you know 1056 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: they've they've found a way to operate offensively with kind 1057 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: of different a little bit different schemes and different players, 1058 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,439 Speaker 1: but they still seem to be able to move the ball. 1059 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,719 Speaker 1: The real key I think for the Seahawks is to 1060 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: keep Stafford and those guys on the sidelines as much 1061 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: as possible, which means your defense has got to go 1062 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 1: out there and make plays, shut down that run and 1063 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 1: then find a way to get off the field so 1064 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,400 Speaker 1: that your offense can can get on it. I mean, 1065 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of football one on one. But this 1066 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: is one of those teams that they've got so many 1067 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: good players in so many spots. It's tough to pick 1068 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,759 Speaker 1: just one. Yeah, and Rabs, I mean it's it's unbelievable 1069 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: when you look at like Cooper Cup. I mean, if 1070 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 1: I could take one guy out of this lineup, I mean, 1071 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 1: would it be Aaron Donald? Would or would it be 1072 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup? Would it be? Do you think Stafford has 1073 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 1: been like the huge difference that's been on offense. I mean, 1074 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 1: where do you go with a team like this if 1075 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,760 Speaker 1: you could take one guy away? Yeah? I mean they 1076 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl with goffin quarterback, for crying 1077 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: out loud, but they had Aaron Donald and Cooper Cup 1078 00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: doing their thing, along with a whole bunch of other 1079 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: players as well, really good, really good athletes. I don't 1080 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 1: know which one that you want to take out, you know, 1081 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: as a receiver, I'd like to think that, oh, they 1082 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: can't win a game without Cooper Cup, but they've lost 1083 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: Robert Woods and all they did now was throw a 1084 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 1: little more to Cup and Woods was kind of the 1085 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 1: go to guy for the last couple of years. You 1086 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: know me, I can't get done talking about Robert Woods. 1087 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's not playing, but I love to see 1088 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 1: that guy play. But Cup is really something special and 1089 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 1: and so you know, we talked about it when we 1090 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,719 Speaker 1: taped our program today. And you know, the Seahawks. You 1091 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,239 Speaker 1: can't if you're Ken Norton junior and you know this day, 1092 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: you can't just rely on one defense. You really have 1093 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,880 Speaker 1: to mix things up. You can't give those guys on 1094 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 1: offense a Stafford, a quarterback like Stafford who's got the 1095 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 1: experience to kind of get a read on you and 1096 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, here's what they do. They're gonna do 1097 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: this all day, and this is what we're gonna do. No, 1098 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 1: but you, I think, have to mix in in some places. 1099 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,760 Speaker 1: You got to get up in a guy like Cooper 1100 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: Cup's grill. You got to get up there and man 1101 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: handle him a little bit. He's bigger than he looks. 1102 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: He's six two. I mean he's in that way. He's 1103 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's large at esque, hands wise and route 1104 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 1: rise but bigger. So he's a he's a tough guy 1105 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: to deal with and then of course on the other side, 1106 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,320 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, you just you pray for him to go 1107 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 1: take a water break or something. Although running right at 1108 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 1: him again, We've talked about it many times, seems to 1109 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,919 Speaker 1: be the best offense against that defense, you know, Raves. 1110 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 1: It was awesome to watch Rushad Penny, you know, do 1111 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: his thing against the Houston Texans. This is gonna be 1112 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: an entirely different animal going up against the Rams. What 1113 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 1: do you expect the result is gonna be. Do you 1114 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a successful game or do you 1115 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 1: think this is going to be more similar to what 1116 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 1: the game was like against the forty nine Ers a 1117 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,800 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I tend to think maybe the 1118 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,760 Speaker 1: former or the ladder, I mean, the forty nine ers contest. 1119 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: I just think, obviously the Rams have some better athletes. 1120 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 1: First of all, on the defensive front um you know 1121 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: there there they play, they seem to play together as 1122 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: a group really well. They revolve around number ninety nine obviously. 1123 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: But Leonard Floyd on the outside, even though the lists 1124 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: him as an outside linebacker, might as well be a 1125 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 1: stand up defensive end because he comes two thirds of 1126 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,359 Speaker 1: the time he rushes he's he's long, he's lean, he's 1127 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: he's got those big hands to get up there and 1128 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: knock passes down. Um, you know, I think that that 1129 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 1: they're just in that way, they're there. It's going to 1130 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: be a much more difficult test for the Seahawks than 1131 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,719 Speaker 1: it was against the forty nine ers. That said, you know, 1132 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 1: this is a Seahawks team that has beaten the Rams 1133 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 1: in the past. So it sort of depends. I think 1134 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 1: it's going to come down to, oftentimes, when it comes 1135 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 1: down to in most games, how's he offensive line doing. 1136 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to open some holes 1137 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,239 Speaker 1: and can Rashad if there's not a big hole there, 1138 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: can he find a little bit of a crease that 1139 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,640 Speaker 1: he can make some positive yards. And the more of 1140 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,960 Speaker 1: those kind of things you can do and keep beating 1141 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,359 Speaker 1: on that defensive front, I think, the better your opportunities 1142 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 1: to then pop some big plays, both a run on 1143 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,439 Speaker 1: the run side and throwing over the top. Hey, Steve 1144 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett coming off a phenomenal game. I know he's 1145 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 1: on the reserve COVID list so entered protocol. We'll see 1146 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: whether or not he can play this weekend. But just overall, 1147 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: what's he meant to this to this team. Oh, I don't. 1148 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,479 Speaker 1: I don't think you can. You can't put a number 1149 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: on it. I don't think Stacy. I just think he's 1150 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: he's such a great pro. I know I sound like 1151 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: probably Pete here talking, but I think I would also 1152 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 1: echo half of the coaches or three quarters of the 1153 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: coaches in the National Football League who who have watched Tyler. 1154 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 1: They see him on film, they see how he handles 1155 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 1: his business. Uh, he is. He is such a pro. 1156 00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: He is such a terrific just from a standpoint of 1157 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: the physical standpoint of a receiver, he is. I think 1158 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: Pete has used the word graceful. He is that he 1159 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: is tough, way tougher than a lot of guys at 1160 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: that position, because he takes some serious shots and he 1161 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,760 Speaker 1: gets back up off the ground. His hands obviously are terrific. 1162 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,760 Speaker 1: He's a great route runner. He's faster than he looks, 1163 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 1: and he is really fast, so that that gives you 1164 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: a sense of just trying to cover him. You think 1165 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 1: you got him covered, and all of a sudden he 1166 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 1: kicks it into another gear and gets past you. And 1167 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: this is something too. This was kind of new to me. 1168 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 1: In the last generation of receivers Back in the day, 1169 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: we didn't kind of run two or three different speeds 1170 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,279 Speaker 1: on routes. You had to get to a point and Jake, 1171 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,759 Speaker 1: you know this. You had to put your foot in 1172 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,359 Speaker 1: the ground and look back to the quarterback, come back 1173 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: to him on a comeback route, bend it back to 1174 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: him on an out route. Now, you know, you come 1175 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 1: off the line at maybe three quarters speed and then 1176 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: you cut it to full speed and to you to 1177 00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,959 Speaker 1: your break, and then you come back to half speed. 1178 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, how do these guys do this? I don't 1179 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: understand it. But whatever it is, Tyler can do it. 1180 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: And he's amazing. All right. He is the voice of 1181 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Steve Rabel will obviously be on the call 1182 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 1: this weekend. Raves, good talking to you, as always every 1183 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 1: single week on the huddle. We'll talk to you next week. 1184 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, Stacy. I appreciate it. The rest of you 1185 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 1: guys took all right. Guys, we're stepping across enemy lines. 1186 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 1: I've seen so many questions about what it means with 1187 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 1: so many RAMS players also in COVID protocol, who's going 1188 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: to be available, and maybe more importantly, what weaknesses, if 1189 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 1: any are there for this Seahawks team to exploit when 1190 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: they face La Well, I can think of no better 1191 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 1: person to ask. We're gonna ask Rams. Play by play 1192 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 1: announcer JB. Long Next, don't go anywhere. This is the 1193 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 1: huddle with Dave Wyman, Jake Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We 1194 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: are stepping across enemy lines, joined now by Ramps. Play 1195 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: by play announcer JB. Long. JB. How's it going, Stacy, Dave, Jake, 1196 00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 1: thank you for the invitation. I wish I had it 1197 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 1: to answer that question, but quite honestly, it's not going great, 1198 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: and I know we're living it on both ends. Yeah, no, 1199 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, the Rams have been hit pretty 1200 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 1: hard this week. I mean, what's the latest you can 1201 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: tell us about the status of some of those bigger 1202 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: names on the COVID list. I've got absolutely nothing, unfortunately. 1203 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: Well it's it's it's really tough, you know, and the 1204 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 1: Seahawks have actually been able to do a pretty good job. 1205 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: But man, it's uh and it sounds like I mean, 1206 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: and it's kind of by by chance, right JB. I mean, look, 1207 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys are following all the same protocols 1208 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 1: and everything down there. And they've probably been pretty dedicated, 1209 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, dedicated about it. I don't think it necessarily 1210 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: indicates anything other than that, it's just that this thing 1211 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 1: is just kind of takes off and has a mind 1212 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 1: of its own. Yeah, we're seeing that across the NFL 1213 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 1: and sports and society, aren't we. I've been following some 1214 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: of the NBA stories as well, and I'm reading up 1215 00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: as we speak, almost about the lead kind of revising 1216 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 1: its policy to hopefully get to make symptomatic players who 1217 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 1: are testing negative back on the field soon. Or whether 1218 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,560 Speaker 1: that has any expanying on this weekend's contest with the 1219 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Rams personnel, that remains to be seen. 1220 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 1: But at this point, I'm just stringers cross hoping that 1221 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 1: we're all going to be able to play that game 1222 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 1: and be a part of it on Sunday. Jab. One 1223 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 1: of the things that's been really talking on a lighter 1224 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 1: note here that I've really enjoyed watching is the evolution 1225 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: of Van Jefferson last year as a rookie. You could 1226 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 1: see that it just wasn't necessarily coming together in terms 1227 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 1: of just I don't know if it was playbook stuff 1228 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,040 Speaker 1: or you know, the confidence overall just not getting targeted. 1229 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 1: But this year, midway through the season, he's really come 1230 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: alive since Robert Woods has gone down. How fun has 1231 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 1: it been for you guys to watch his development really grow? Yeah. 1232 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 1: I think back to the draft time and one of 1233 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 1: the RAMS personnel individuals told me that if you were 1234 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: to kind of look at a mirror image of Cooper 1235 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 1: Cup and Robert Woods standing together of a mirror, that 1236 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 1: would be Van Jefferson. I'm struggling still to this day 1237 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: to try and visualize that, but I get the sentiment 1238 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: right that he was a very nice compilation and the 1239 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 1: still set that the Rams already had in house, and 1240 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 1: sometimes it has just been a matter of opportunity for 1241 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 1: Van to put more of that on display. Now, it 1242 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: hasn't all been perfect, I think for a sure handed, 1243 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: solid route running receiver with symtedigree in the NFL as 1244 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Father's a great receivers coach, or even at the time 1245 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,760 Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford and me Detron going back to the Detroit, 1246 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: he's had some untimely drops and what's been cool to 1247 01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,600 Speaker 1: see with some of the behind the scene miked up 1248 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: moment is that Matthew Stafford and Sean and say have 1249 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: maintained their total confidence in him and continued to dial 1250 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: thing up for him, and he's almost universally capitalized on 1251 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: those second opportunities within games. Hey, JB. The Seahawks are 1252 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 1: on the outside looking in when it comes to the postseason, 1253 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 1: and it feels like they've kind of been that way 1254 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Rams with Sean McVay kind 1255 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: of having the upper hand. But I'm just ask because 1256 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: I know that some Seahawks fans are wondering, is there 1257 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: an Achilles heel for this Rams team this year? Yeah? 1258 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I mean when when Matthew Stafford throws touched down to 1259 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 1: the other team, they haven't been pretty good. I mean, 1260 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 1: I hate to make this cut and drive because I 1261 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: know it's not very nuanced, but you know, they're winless 1262 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: when they lose a turnover battle and they're underfeated when 1263 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: they match it or or exceed it. So it was 1264 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: a rough November. Three games in a buye all added 1265 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: up to a calendar month without a victory, and Matthew 1266 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: had multiple turnovers in all of those games, and the defense, 1267 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 1: the opposing defense scored in all of those games. Now, 1268 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 1: those are some really good teams mixed in there, Tennessee, 1269 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco, and Green Bay all figure to be playoff 1270 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: teams stands currently, But apart from that, I still think 1271 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 1: the secret is to squeeze the opportunities at McVay and 1272 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: Matthew Staffords have even going back to Jared Goffs tenure, 1273 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 1: when when the game gets short, when the play count 1274 01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: gets short, time of possession gets tilted against the Rams, 1275 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 1: they tend to come out of their balance their run 1276 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: past marriage and get a little bit one sided. And 1277 01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: that's typically when they faulted them too good opponents, of which, 1278 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 1: despite Sall's record, I certainly think the Seats are still 1279 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: capable of Jby tell us about von Miller's year so 1280 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 1: far as a RAM, and now I see he's got 1281 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 1: some tackles for losses, He's got sixty one snaps. Is 1282 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,240 Speaker 1: he getting closer and closer back to being Von Miller's 1283 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: just kind of just an adjustment period for him. It's 1284 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: almost shocking if you go more than three or four 1285 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 1: games without a sack. Right well, the problem is having 1286 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: right now is can he beat Aaron Donald to the quarterback? 1287 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 1: Like I think he's got some pretty good rushes, But 1288 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: when you have a future Hall of Famer in the middle, 1289 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, exceeding his block and getting the quarterback and 1290 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 1: a setup and flat I think it's tough to claim 1291 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,680 Speaker 1: some of those. He actually had a golden opportunity for 1292 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 1: a walk off sack on Monday Night Football, and there 1293 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 1: was kind of like a disjoint start to the Cardinal's 1294 01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: final play. I think he and Kyler Murray both were 1295 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: expecting that play to be blown dead. It wasn't, so 1296 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 1: he gifted that sack eventually to Aaron Donald, his third 1297 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 1: of the game. Fun Now, I think what got overlooked 1298 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 1: in that trade and may get through out Von's career 1299 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 1: because he's such a provivid pass rusher, the how athletic 1300 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,920 Speaker 1: he is in physical he's playing the run, and I 1301 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 1: think when Leonard Floyd opposite on the other edge, you 1302 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,160 Speaker 1: look what the Rams had done since he arrived stuff 1303 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: in the run, especially on early downs. I think he's 1304 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 1: played a large hand in that, and certainly his reputation 1305 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 1: has allowed a few others to cease, including more one 1306 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,440 Speaker 1: on one opportunities for Donald. JB. How big was this 1307 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 1: game against the Cardinals. I mean, we know, hey, it 1308 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 1: was a big matchup. At your opportunity to continue to 1309 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: keep yourself in it for the NFC West. But you 1310 01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: mentioned that three game losing streak that they had before 1311 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 1: winning against the Jags. Was there a feeling like, oh man, 1312 01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 1: there's an uneasiness about where they're currently at as a team, 1313 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: or did you feel like this team kept believing and 1314 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: they kept believing in what they're doing and what they're building. No, 1315 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 1: that's a great question in terms of what implications it 1316 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 1: has for seeing that will be a product of the 1317 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 1: next month. The odds are still kind of stacked against 1318 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 1: the Rams overtaking the Cardinals, so it may not alter 1319 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 1: anything in terms of, you know, they were the five 1320 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 1: seeds before they're losing streak, they were the five seats 1321 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 1: after losing streak, five seats before Monday Night Football, five 1322 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,440 Speaker 1: seed today. But I think what it proves to them 1323 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 1: is one, if they have to go back to Arizona, 1324 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 1: they're more than capable of continuing to have a little 1325 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,240 Speaker 1: bit of ownage on that team. Secondly, even if we 1326 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 1: are entering the season where week to week fluctuations in 1327 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:33,000 Speaker 1: personnel disrupt December, January and beyond in the NFL, they're 1328 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: capable of winning shorthand it's something they've done each of 1329 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. But perhaps most importantly, I think 1330 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: it got Matthew Stafford right. And what I mean by 1331 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,520 Speaker 1: that is you kind of had this cloud hanging over 1332 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 1: his season in his career, as you guys know. At first, 1333 01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: the narrative was he can't win in prime time. Then 1334 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 1: he beat the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Then it became, well, 1335 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 1: he's great at beating up, you know, the middle of 1336 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: the road teams and punching down, but he doesn't rise 1337 01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 1: up and knock off contenders. Well, now he's got wins 1338 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 1: over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and what was, 1339 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 1: you know, the team with the best record in the 1340 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 1: National Football League. So hopefully that's behind him and that 1341 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,600 Speaker 1: those kind of negative statistics are attributed more to his 1342 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 1: circumstances in Detroit and that he's back to playing free 1343 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 1: and confidently and most importantly with some health. Because now 1344 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 1: that they've got OBJ ramped up, I think all the 1345 01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 1: tools are there for him in McVey to go scoring 1346 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,800 Speaker 1: thirty thirty five points again the rest of the way. 1347 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 1: JBA talked to DeMarco Farr yesterday on our show in 1348 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,760 Speaker 1: the afternoon yeah. And you know, I always like asking 1349 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 1: about somebody who is underrated and you know, maybe uh, 1350 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 1: someone that that he's not a mainline guy, but you 1351 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: know somebody that's playing well. And he said great gains. Actually, 1352 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: i'd ask you the same question, is is it great 1353 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: gains for you too? Oh low and Mohol DeMarco picks 1354 01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 1: a husky, right, that was yes, of course I would 1355 01:05:56,320 --> 01:06:00,760 Speaker 1: have had a spot on that. No, he hundred percent right. 1356 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,840 Speaker 1: I think the Rams have a good claim to having 1357 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 1: the best defensive interior in football between Donald Games and 1358 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: a Shawn Robinson. He playing his best football as a 1359 01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 1: Ram as well. Where else could I go apart in 1360 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: aside from great games, he's certainly high up there. I 1361 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: think Ernest Jones at offball linebacker playing now in a 1362 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:22,680 Speaker 1: free on capacity. Yeah, a rookie, someone they see kind 1363 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: of like the Darius Leonard Mould with some upside, would 1364 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 1: be someone different for the Seahawks. He was not part 1365 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 1: of their defensive game plan the last time we spoke 1366 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,960 Speaker 1: earlier than the season. You know, I think Jordan Fuller 1367 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 1: on the back ends. You know, given the fact that 1368 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: the Rams are replacing John Johnson, who was great for them, 1369 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 1: for so many years. Now in the second season, I 1370 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he sneaks into some Pro Bowl 1371 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 1: conversation before the year is out. I think he's been outstanding. 1372 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 1: And then right now, to be truthful, its Sonny Michelle, like, 1373 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,480 Speaker 1: if you can, if you can be more impactful getting 1374 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: three or four yards per carry like he is right now, 1375 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 1: I'd be hard pressed to find it because he's a 1376 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 1: professional chain lover and ever since they by necessity committed 1377 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 1: to him as their lead back. I think the whole 1378 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 1: style in terms of personnel packages, multiplicity, it's all kind 1379 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 1: of come back to the under center play action game, 1380 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 1: but now they're doing it and more of a downhill 1381 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 1: between the tackles fashion as opposed to the standard todk Earley. 1382 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 1: You know Darryl Henderson outside zone basis, he has rams. 1383 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 1: Play by play announcer JB Long. JB. We know it's 1384 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 1: been a chaotic week of busy week out there, so 1385 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: we really appreciate you taking the time. In the words 1386 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,760 Speaker 1: of my basketball colleague Bill Walton, stay positive, test negative. 1387 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna wrap the huddle up with our 1388 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 1: final thoughts for this game between the Seahawks and Rams 1389 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: it's coming your way. Next. This is the huddle with 1390 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. It has been 1391 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: a two hour preview of the seahawks upcoming game against 1392 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: the Rams. Guys, we're gonna end with our final thoughts 1393 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 1: and here's what I want to look God, I want 1394 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 1: to look at a challenge versus the Rams, and an 1395 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,960 Speaker 1: opportunity versus the Rams. So Dave, pick your poison, pick 1396 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,160 Speaker 1: one of those and we'll start there. Okay, one challenge, 1397 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: one opportunity. Yeah, Okay. The challenge is gonna be blocking 1398 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. I think everybody, no, that's not gonna be 1399 01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 1: a challenge. I think, well easy. I'll tell you what. 1400 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm leaving Cooper Cup out there. I'm leaving 1401 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup because that guy is ridiculous. And you know, 1402 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 1: you look at his um. He just he's not like 1403 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:34,000 Speaker 1: this speed burner or anything like that, but just an 1404 01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 1: amazing route runner. So but still it's Aaron Donald. You know, 1405 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,760 Speaker 1: he was just named for the eighth time in his 1406 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: career NFC Player of the Week. So it's just incredible 1407 01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,680 Speaker 1: what he has gotten done on the inside. And you know, 1408 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: and I think Damian Lewis, Ethan Posk, Gabe Jackson, those 1409 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 1: guys have been kind of iffy, So I mean, if 1410 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,040 Speaker 1: they are able to come up with a good plant. 1411 01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 1: You know who blocked him really well, this is a 1412 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 1: few years ago. It was Jamarco Jones. Marco Jones had 1413 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 1: a really good game against him, and he came in, 1414 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, and was subbing and I think he was 1415 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: playing tackle. But anyway, that's that's gonna be the challenge. 1416 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 1: The opportunity for me is Rashad Penny. I can't wait 1417 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: to watch him play. I think this is a very 1418 01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:24,040 Speaker 1: important game for him. And uh and I'm gonna be 1419 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 1: pulling far Man. I just I love that guy. He 1420 01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 1: just he's very sort of aware and um, I just 1421 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I I like his personality. I think 1422 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna click for him, and I want something really 1423 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,840 Speaker 1: good for him to happen because he had such great 1424 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:46,000 Speaker 1: success in college. He should have a good career. He 1425 01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: really should, and it's just not worked out that way 1426 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 1: so far. Okay, so interesting. Your opportunity is my challenge actually, 1427 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,400 Speaker 1: because I think the challenge is JB. Long was on 1428 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: with us and talked about it. Has since the addition 1429 01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 1: of von Miller's that defensive line, and look he has 1430 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: been you watch the film. He hasn't gotten a sack, 1431 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,360 Speaker 1: but he's still generating significant pressure. So it's not that 1432 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 1: he is an ineffective pass rusher, but he's actually been 1433 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: better than what people are given credit for and in 1434 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,960 Speaker 1: terms of helping that defensive line become more dominant against 1435 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,160 Speaker 1: the run game. And so my challenge is, can this 1436 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 1: offensive line, can Rashad Penny not replicate the exact performance 1437 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 1: that they had against the Houston Texans, but can they 1438 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,639 Speaker 1: have an effective run game when the Rams. I think 1439 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a mystery as to what 1440 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks want to do in this matchup. So that, 1441 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 1: to me, is going to be the challenge. I'm as 1442 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: like Dave said, I'm pulling for Rashad Penny, rooting for him, 1443 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: want to see that. But I think this is going 1444 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: to be an incredible challenge that's going to be a 1445 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,640 Speaker 1: different type of running game that Rashad Penny has not 1446 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 1: proven that he is that hard yardage gainer in the league. 1447 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 1: My opportunity here that I will point to is the defense. 1448 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 1: The opportunity here is to show that your stats that 1449 01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: you keep rattling off your points per game, your red 1450 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 1: zone scoring, your third down defense, that it's going to 1451 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,280 Speaker 1: show up when it matters most. And it's going to 1452 01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,679 Speaker 1: be in this type of matchup against the Rams, against 1453 01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Cooper Cup and the rest of this crew. 1454 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 1: That's the opportunity that's there for this defense. And I 1455 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,679 Speaker 1: want to see them prove that and for those things 1456 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 1: to come to life, because this is going to be 1457 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 1: a very difficult challenge. And Dave, you talk about yards matter, well, 1458 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,960 Speaker 1: I think that they're going to press that issue and 1459 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 1: see if the Seahawks defense can really hold up as 1460 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the Rams continue to drive you down the field and 1461 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,280 Speaker 1: them come up with the stops when they need it. 1462 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,479 Speaker 1: All Right, good stuff from both of you. I went 1463 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 1: with the challenge. I gotta go with Dave on this one. 1464 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: It was between Cooper Cup and Aaron Donald. I went 1465 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald and this one not just because he 1466 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,000 Speaker 1: is the best defensive lineman in football, but also because 1467 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 1: the Seahawks offensive line dealing with a couple injuries there. 1468 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,799 Speaker 1: We talked to Ray Roberts who mentioned them really struggling 1469 01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 1: with depth right now because even backups have been struggling 1470 01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,320 Speaker 1: with injuries. It will be a challenge. Is it doable, Yeah, 1471 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,080 Speaker 1: we've seen it done before, but it'll it'll easily be 1472 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 1: the biggest issue they face that day. He can be 1473 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: a nightmare for an opportunity. Bad Matthew Stafford. Bad Matthew 1474 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: Stafford can be very bad. Now good Matthew Stafford is great. 1475 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 1: We saw a fifty two yard pass to Van Jefferson 1476 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 1: for a touchdown and fifty of those were air yards 1477 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 1: last week, or excuse me, this week Monday against the Cardinals, 1478 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 1: a fantastic game. Matthew Stafford when he's on it best 1479 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,599 Speaker 1: one of the best arms in football. Bad Matthew Stafford 1480 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 1: is the Stafford that showed up in a stretch of 1481 01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,800 Speaker 1: three losses against Tennessee, San Francisco and Green Bay. Had 1482 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 1: five interceptions during that time to just four touchdowns. And 1483 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 1: you also had some issues with I believe a fumble 1484 01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 1: against Green Bay. So again it's it's it's a flip 1485 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,040 Speaker 1: at the coin opportunity. You don't know if that's the 1486 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: version you're gonna get. But what I'm really hoping is 1487 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 1: it's the version not just that the Seahawks skip, but 1488 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,800 Speaker 1: maybe Quandre Diggs. Maybe Quandre Diggs gets a chance against 1489 01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:00,599 Speaker 1: bad Matthew Stafford. I would love that. First of all, 1490 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 1: you were wise with your first selection station. But heavy 1491 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 1: eye roll for me, Dave. You can't see me right now, 1492 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 1: but heavy eye roll. Hey, if anybody's eye rolling, it's 1493 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,240 Speaker 1: me rolling my eyes at you. Because of that guy 1494 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 1: at JB. Long saying, oh, that was an amazing question. Jake, 1495 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 1: Come on, no, it wasn't aloud nine after that woman 1496 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 1: he was so he was bragging. It's another tally. It's 1497 01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 1: another tally on the board. And you know, when you 1498 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 1: just born with that gift, sometimes you gotta let it shine. 1499 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: You know, learned how to make soundcuts today, and now 1500 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: he's just thinking like I can do anything in this building, 1501 01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:37,600 Speaker 1: ask questions, sound anything you need when you when you 1502 01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 1: come in, I'll show you how to do it. Okay, okay, 1503 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 1: And I can like a make these great promos about myself. 1504 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly what you can do. That's exactly what you 1505 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,720 Speaker 1: can do, Tracy, to your point, really quick, you look 1506 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 1: at bad Matthew Stafford also sacked nine times in that 1507 01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:58,400 Speaker 1: three game losing shriek that you talked about. Um, yeah, 1508 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 1: get to him. He's no different than any quarterback, right Jack. 1509 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you get around his feet, you get 1510 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 1: around the eyes come down all of a sudden. I 1511 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,920 Speaker 1: mean he's made some pretty crazy play so like the 1512 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: one where he's going down and he throw, doesn't he 1513 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,479 Speaker 1: throw like a touchdown or it's like a safety. Or 1514 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 1: he has some crazy play against I think it was 1515 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,439 Speaker 1: against the Titans. So I mean, he's no different than 1516 01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,400 Speaker 1: anybody else. And uh, I actually want to end on 1517 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 1: that note. That's perfect. We've got about two minutes left here, 1518 01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,920 Speaker 1: so let's focus solely on the Seahawks pass rush. We 1519 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: have barely talked about it at all today when they've 1520 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 1: been great, when they've got going, you can see great 1521 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 1: play from Darryl Taylor. I'll start actually start with Jake 1522 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,519 Speaker 1: and Davil and with you. If you guys have to 1523 01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: look at that pass rush and say what needs to 1524 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 1: go right, who needs to step up or who do 1525 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 1: you want to see step up? Well, this is the 1526 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,280 Speaker 1: unique aspect of it because it stylistically Ken Orton Junior 1527 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll decided, hey, look, midway through the season, 1528 01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:56,519 Speaker 1: we struggled to our pass rush, so you know what 1529 01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 1: we're going to make sure that we are really really 1530 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 1: good against the and we're gonna put three defensive tackles 1531 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 1: out there. We're gonna transition into more of a bare 1532 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: front three to four type of scheme, and that's really 1533 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 1: limited your edge rushers and and it's it's been difficult 1534 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:14,600 Speaker 1: to generate that pass rush. And you're guys that you 1535 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,600 Speaker 1: came in wanting to be significant pass rushers for you, 1536 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,640 Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap, Carry Hyder Jr. Benz and Mayoa. They are 1537 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,400 Speaker 1: put being put in different situations where not only are 1538 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,920 Speaker 1: they playing somewhat of a different position, but they're also 1539 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,080 Speaker 1: being asked to drop and coverage more often than not. 1540 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:33,080 Speaker 1: So it's a unique part of this that is a 1541 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,599 Speaker 1: little head scratching from that aspect. But I'll be curious 1542 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: to see how much they roll out their speed package 1543 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,320 Speaker 1: that they generally roll out there on third down, knowing 1544 01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 1: that stylistically the Rams are a little bit different than 1545 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 1: everyone else and are willing to throw the ball all 1546 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,519 Speaker 1: over the yard on first and second down, not just 1547 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: third down. Yeah, I agree with you with the defensive front. 1548 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 1: It just it just really hasn't worked. But I'll say this, 1549 01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 1: al Woods has played really, really well so, I mean 1550 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 1: that's the closest direct line to the quarterback. So if 1551 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 1: you can get that big dog just getting some pressure 1552 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,479 Speaker 1: up the medal. I think Havnstein is out because of 1553 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 1: the COVID thing. I think, yes, yeah, well we don't 1554 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,559 Speaker 1: know if he's out out he is on the yeah, 1555 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:17,680 Speaker 1: well yeah, and everybody's kind of up in the air. 1556 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,800 Speaker 1: But you know, if you know, if there's something to 1557 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: take advantage of their I think big Al has been 1558 01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 1: playing really well, so hopefully he can get some pressure 1559 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,479 Speaker 1: from the inside. All Right, This has been the Huddle 1560 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross.
