Speaker 2: How you doing.

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm generally excited. You all should be excited.

15
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: We were talking off there. That is excited. I've been

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 4: for the Seahawks scope in the season and probably six years,

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: you know, maybe longer. I mean, you know, twenty sixteen, seventeen,

18
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 4: a little bit last year because we've come off a

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: playoff here. But I think we really believe we've got

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 4: talent on this team, both on both sides of the ball.

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: I think what we're gonna do schematic it really plays

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: into our our our talent as well, and what we

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: saw in preseason on defense has got me pretty jacked up, man.

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 5: Yes, this is gonna be fun.

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: I think if there's anything you can take away from

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: the preseason is that defensively, the players were in the

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: right spot right.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: You still gotta make tackles.

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 3: You's gotta still have to attack the ball out the are,

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: you still have to do all these things. But offensively,

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: it's where I'm looking forward to seeing how Ryan Grubb

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: brings that Mount Lake offense to this Seattle offense. And uh,

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm a koop a knowdub issue.

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: Still, hey beat the dogs three times.

35
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: Don't get at me, Okay, But I respect Ryan Grubb

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: and what he did, and I'm excited to see how

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: he allows Gino to blossom a bit more. Because people

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: look at Gino and say, he's been in the league ten.

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: Plus years, how much more can he grow?

40
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: He's only been a starter like four out of those

41
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: ten years, so I think that there's more for him

42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: to do and I'm excited to see it.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna a fall up to you does he

45
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: bring because we don't know what kind of offense they're

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 4: gonna run. He didn't show anything in preseason. What we

47
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: do know is they're gonna motion a lot. It's gonna

48
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: make defense just have to think on the run a bunch.

49
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: And that's not.

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 4: Always easy to do because there's a lot of play

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: callers who wait till the last second to get the

52
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: play in and if you do that, you can't have

53
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: a lot of motion because you run out of time.

54
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: What do you what is gonna be the identity of

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: this offense?

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, if you listen to Grub, he says, look, we're

57
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: gonna run the football, and I think you need to

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: run the football.

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: The older I.

60
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Get, the more I appreciate the run game.

61
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: You holler at me.

62
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: In twenty ten, when I was the offensive coordinator for

63
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: Redmond High School, we threw the ball seventy five times

64
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: out of eighty plays. Now me, I'm not gonna tell

65
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: you my age a bit older. Now, Moyer, I look

66
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: at the run game and I tell myself it's gonna

67
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: set everything up. People look at this Grub offense and

68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 3: think that he's just gonna throw the ball across the

69
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: yard because of myx Romadoonza PAULK.

70
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: McMillan.

71
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: I understand that, but he had a thousand yard rusher

72
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: while he was there. So the fact that he was

73
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: able to camouflage the run and highlight the pass is

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: encouraging to me because I think that Ken Walker is

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: going to get the rock and it's going to be

76
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: more balance than you think.

77
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: If you have the not the opportunity, but the decision

78
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: to pass.

79
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: And run like you have it as off as a coordinator,

80
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: it makes the play calling a bit easier. So I

81
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: expect not a balance attack, but an attack that is

82
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: that required, that is required depending on the game that

83
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: you're playing.

84
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: The one thing about coach McDonald and when you watch

85
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: it on defense and you watched what he coached before

86
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: at Baltimore and even Michigan and College, they don't play

87
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: man that every man runs to the football. If you

88
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: don't run to the football, you will not be on

89
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: the field. And it's he preaches physicality. I mean that

90
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 4: is they are a physical They are going to hit you.

91
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: And I think that's what Grubb brings to the offenses.

92
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 4: I don't know how much they're gonna run, but we're

93
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: gonna be a physical running football team. I think you know.

94
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: At the same time, Kenneth Walker, he's a physical back.

95
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: He can be Charmoney definitely can be a physical back.

96
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: I just don't know what kind of you know, his

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: own scheme. I don't know what kind of running game

98
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 4: we're gonna do. So I'm I'm I'm curious because I

99
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 4: don't know what that identity is gonna be. I'm pretty

100
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: confident in the identity of our defense, and I thought

101
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: it played out in preseason again they are going to

102
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: fly to the football.

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this.

104
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: I'm confident in this defensive line Byron Murphy, who we'll

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: see later, hang around, Hang around, all right, Jay Reed,

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: Big Kat Williams, Draymond Jones. I feel like the defensive

107
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: line is going to be on point. I think the

108
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: back end is going to be on point. You gotta

109
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: wreak on one side, spoon on the other, Shrey Brown.

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: You got the safeties.

111
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: The linebackers is the one spot to where I'm like,

112
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: I don't know how these guys are gonna perform, But

113
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: I watched Dodson on film, I watched Baker from a

114
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: year ago, and I feel good about it.

115
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: How how do you feel about this box in general?

116
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 5: Well, first of.

117
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 4: All, I think, look, Jay Reed, when we get I

118
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: won't give all my questions to Murphy, right, now. But

119
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: the man was double teamed pretty much every play in college.

120
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how dominant he was. He was either

121
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: being chipped with a running back even up the middle,

122
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: or they were double team a slide in his way,

123
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: or when they ran away from him, they just tried

124
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: to cut him off and make him chase. He's got

125
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 4: a motor that's incredible, So I'm excited to see what

126
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: he does versus you know, one on one situation. I'm

127
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: the same thing with Williams, same thing with jay Ree

128
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: because Jay Reid got double team a ton last year,

129
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 4: and I think they're gonna be in positions that suit

130
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: their ability the best. So I think we're gonna have

131
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 4: a potential dominant pass rush and run defense. You know,

132
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: Murphy who were gonna have earlier takes pride and stopping

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 4: to run. He is a complete player. I mean, he's

134
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: going to be the best I think defensive lineman we've

135
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: had since Cortez Kennedy. I mean, I think he's that complete,

136
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: not just a pass rusher, not just to run.

137
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 5: Stuff, or he could do it do at all.

138
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: But I'm most excited from an upgrade standpoint, it's our

139
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: middle linebackers and look, Bob Wagner, great player, is going

140
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: to be on the Ring of Honor.

141
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 5: He's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.

142
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: I know y'all love him, but sometimes you just got

143
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: to tell the truth. And the truth is he's taken

144
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: a major step back, particularly in the pass game. And

145
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: he was on the field every play. He didn't have

146
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: one interception, he didn't have one cosset fumble.

147
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: Last year.

148
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: He had a lot of tackles downfield. You go watch

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: what Dotson did just in preseason in the passing game.

150
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: Just that alone makes us a better football team because

151
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: he can cover and it's not just cover a tight

152
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: end or a back coming out of the backfield. He

153
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: understands zone passing concept. So they were running a round.

154
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: They tried to clear him and he saw an end route.

155
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: He let the titand go down the middle. All of

156
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: a sudden, he picked up the cross from route. He

157
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: came in with him for two steps, didn't look back

158
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: for the ball yet got in the guy's hip pocket,

159
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: then got looked for the ball, and I don't know,

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: he probably had three or four pass the defense just

161
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: in preseason. He's gonna have some interceptions and then we

162
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: haven't even seen Jerome Baker yet. I know he can cover.

163
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 4: I didn't know Dobson was going to be that good.

164
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: So I'm excited at our middle linebackers. We're giving up

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: some weight, so the defensive line they're gonna have to

166
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: keep these guys off balance. But I think, and I'll

167
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: close it with this, what I'm excited about is the

168
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: offensive line. You're gonna have to go find us. We're

169
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: not just gonna be this old school. We're gonna read it,

170
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 4: we're gonna recognize it, then we're gonna react to it.

171
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just too late and these guys are

172
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: too big and too athletic on the offensive line.

173
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: Now, they're gonna have to come find us.

174
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: And if you watch Dobson and Julian Love a couple

175
00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: of times, yeah they attacked. They recognized and attacked. They

176
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: weren't doing them. We recognize react. It was boom gone.

177
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think we're gonna be a much more aggressive.

178
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna blitz a lot, but we're

179
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: gonna be aggressive what we do, and we're gonna be

180
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: able to attack the running game.

181
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna be a great cover team.

182
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: Do y'all feel his passion for the defense right now.

183
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: He's excited about this defense, so that makes me excited

184
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: as well. There's a new error when he comes to

185
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: these linebackers, and I think that Bobby and kJ were

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: the perfect transitioning to these guys Baker and Dohnson. And

187
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 3: then especially because you have Mike McDonald, who was the

188
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: conductor of one of the best defenses of all time

189
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens of last year.

190
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 3: I don't think people realize that defense is some things

191
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: that have never been done before. So the fact that

192
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: he can bring that infrastructure here to Seattle and allow

193
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: these guys to first and I think it's gonna be

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 3: awesome before we get out of here though.

195
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: This offense, Moyer.

196
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: If there is something that I am most optimistic about,

197
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: it is the offense. Because you have Gino, because you

198
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 3: have Tyler d k j is, Sin ken Walker.

199
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: You got to figure out who your offensive line is

200
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: going to be.

201
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: You bring over Kenner, Excude, Connor Williams from from the Dolphins.

202
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 3: You also got Lincoln Tomlinson. You got some young guys. Actually,

203
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: I just had a conversation with Abe Lucas. If you

204
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: see him, leave him alone. He's fine. Okay, just talk

205
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: to Abe Lucas. But there are some things that need

206
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: to happen. Skill guys are good offensive line. You need

207
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: to tighten some things up. What are your thoughts there?

208
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: I think this.

209
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: I think Gino Smith is going to have an unbelievable year.

210
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 5: I think they're going to protect him better.

211
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 4: I think there he's not gonna be worried about the

212
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: perfect read, the perfect throw every time.

213
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna be able to just let it loose.

214
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: And the one thing we know he.

215
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: Through the statistics, he's actually the most accurate quarterback in

216
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: the NFL, and that for he misses the least of

217
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 4: any quarterback in the in the study. So if you

218
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: give time, give them protection in that pocket, and let

219
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: us push the ball down field, push it downfield.

220
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: And here's the thing.

221
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: If it's third down and two, we don't have to

222
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: run a stick route at third and two. We're not

223
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: gonna have that third and seven. I know what they're

224
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: gonna run. You guys are gonna run a seven yard

225
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: route and they're gonna we're all the defensive sat on it.

226
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: They'll go over the top on you.

227
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: So I just think we'll see more creativity and get

228
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 4: our We're as skilled as any team in the NFL

229
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: offensively with our three wide receivers are tied in or

230
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,119
Speaker 4: running back on our quarterback.

231
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 5: Man, let's let's cut it loose.

232
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: With them, let it go, come on out.

233
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: This is the first time that I've ever rooted for

234
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: skin my life, Ryan Grudd, you go ahead and get it.

235
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: Once you put on the Seahawk colors. I'm with you

236
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. So yeah, Maya, I'm excited. I want

237
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: to see what his offense looks like. I think that

238
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: he will allow Geno to take another step in his

239
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: career because people have pigeonholed Gino for so long and

240
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: say this is who you are. But four years as

241
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: a starter lots of room to grow. So we're just

242
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: gonna start it. Man, we're here live. Look at this

243
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: crowd right here.

244
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: You guys look good. You're ready to go.

245

259
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you, Parker. We're looking at Bonnicks.

260
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: We're looking at this Denver team and saying we should

261
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: get them. What are they saying about the Seahawks as

262
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: far as the fans, the coaches, the media.

263
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: What's the vibe over there?

264
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think. I mean, anytime you're you're gonna play

265
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 6: a rookie quarterback, there's a sense of optimism just like

266
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 6: about where you're about the future, and and sometimes it's

267
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: like you might be you know, you might have I

268
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 6: think fans have optimism long term and maybe don't know

269
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 6: exactly what to think in terms of like right out

270
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 6: of the gate and then like just being in the

271
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 6: locker room. Players have a lot of trust in Boonix.

272
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 6: They think he's going to play well and at least

273
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 6: be like confident and in command from the start. Now,

274
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 6: whether that means you can go on the road and

275
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: win in one of the loudest stadiums in the country

276
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 6: week one is another story obviously. And then the other

277
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 6: thing that's interesting, which you guys obviously well know, is

278
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 6: just there's so much new in Seattle. Like I was

279
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 6: talking to DJ Jones, the defensive lineman today in the

280
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: locker room. He was like, yeah, I mean, you don't

281
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 6: know exactly what to expect. That's always the case with

282
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 6: Week one, it's especially the case this week, and then

283
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 6: it's especially especially the case with the Broncos because of

284
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 6: the rookie quarterback. In all so, I'd say there's some

285
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: excitement and also a big dose of just like you

286
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: don't quite know what to expect.

287
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: Where are they most excited? Because talk with brock Hewart,

288
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: he lives there, and he said, the fans are pretty

289
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: juiced up for this this season with Denver. Where where

290
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: do they Where's the most excitement? I mean because at

291
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 4: one point a couple of year ago, your guys defense

292
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: was dominant and fell off a little bit. So just

293
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: curious and where the excitement is other than just bo nas.

294
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's just in general, there's a sense

295
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 6: that it's kind of funny because the you know, the

296
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 6: powers that be with the franchise in the front office

297
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 6: and the coaching staff, like and even the players, they

298
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 6: don't they don't like the term rebuilding, right like, they don't.

299
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 6: They don't want to look at it that way, and

300
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 6: frankly like they shouldn't look at it that way. In

301
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 6: the NFL necessarily, like you can make the playoffs from

302
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: a lot of different positions. But I think that there's actually,

303
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 6: you know, I think there's a lot of fans that

304
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 6: are are maybe a little bit relieved that this is

305
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: going to be a young team, that they that they

306
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 6: bit the bullet and took the historic you know, dead

307
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 6: money hit with Russell Wilson to start the clock toward

308
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 6: the next era. And any franchise can get sucked down

309
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 6: the tube of like you're always just trying to get

310
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 6: to the next thing. But it feels like for the

311
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 6: first time, you know, certainly in three years I've been

312
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 6: on the beat, and I think honestly, for the first

313
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 6: time probably in you know, five years or more, the

314
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 6: Broncos feel like there's a real sense like, hey, this

315
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 6: is a group that could be on the right track.

316
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 6: And even if it doesn't all click, you know, right

317
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 6: away in the opening weeks of the season, you know

318
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 6: you've got a young quarterback, you've got a younger roster

319
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 6: than you've had in several years, and you've got the

320
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: sense of sort of like direction for a group that

321
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 6: you know could take its lumps this year. But really,

322
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 6: I mean, frankly, after this season is going to have

323
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 6: a lot of flexibility. And if you have that combined

324
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 6: with what you think is the the answer at quarterback

325
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 6: long term, that's not a bad position to be in.

326
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 6: You just you have to know the answer on the

327
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 6: quarterback by the end of this year.

328
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: Parker, I'm with you.

329
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: I think that you've you've probably found the answer at

330
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: the quarterback spot.

331
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: I think bow Nicks is going to be fine.

332
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: But to help them out, you got to lean on something,

333
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: right defense, offensive line, running backs, receivers. What do you

334
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: think this team should lean on to keep these fans optimistic?

335
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've got They've got on the highest paid offensive

336
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 6: lines in football. You know, they they Garrett bolls Is,

337
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: you know, is cap numbers twenty million this year, and

338
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 6: the three other guys have cap numbers upwards of fifteen million.

339
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 6: I think cash wise, their fifth in the NFL in

340
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 6: terms of what they're paying back group. They just gave

341
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 6: Quinn Minors top of the market money at right guard,

342
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 6: and so you know, you've got four top tier offensive

343
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: lineman in terms of money, and then they're breaking in

344
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 6: a new center like that has to be the bad

345
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 6: rock of this team in order for them to you know,

346
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: just I think play functionally this year, let alone, if

347
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 6: they're going to surprise people, and so to me, it's

348
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 6: that they they should be better on the defensive front

349
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: than they were last year, which they were not very

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: good last year upfront defensively, and then offensively. They need

351
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: to be able to control games. It makes like easier

352
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: on a defense, It makes like thesier on a rookie quarterback.

353
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: It takes pressure off of everybody if you can run

354
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 6: the football, you know, and protect the are under center.

355
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 4: Sean Payton's always been a confident guy, and I think

356
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: last year he came in pretty confident that he would

357
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: turn the you know, Broncos around, and obviously a little

358
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: bit of humble pie there, and you got to have

359
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 4: the right pieces is probably what he found out. Have

360
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: you seen any changes this year and Sean Payton as

361
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,479
Speaker 4: the head coach.

362
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 6: Just I think he's energized by the idea of having

363
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 6: a young quarterback room. I mean, it's pretty pretty well

364
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 6: documented at this point that it just you know, it

365
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 6: did not work between he and Russell Wilson, And you know,

366
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 6: I think he's got a room now. Whether the guys

367
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 6: actually play at a higher level than Russell, you know,

368
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 6: this year remains to be seen, but like he's got

369
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 6: a room that plays the way he wants the quarterback

370
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 6: position to play. And I think that you know that

371
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 6: that has certainly I think helped his state of mind

372
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 6: this year. And at the same time, the guy is

373
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 6: has been doing this a long time. And when training

374
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: camp started, he was much less relaxed than he was

375
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 6: over the offseason. And when game week arrived, he was

376
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 6: much less relaxed than he was during training camp. And

377
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 6: so that's just the that's the way it is for everybody.

378
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 6: That's the way it is this season, And I think

379
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 6: you get this sense of like he I think he

380
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 6: believes in the direction they're headed. But also he's never

381
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 6: had a rookie quarterback. He's never won fewer than seven games.

382
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 6: He's playing with the rookie quarterback this year. And you know,

383
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 6: Stevin is maybe realistically, you know, in that area where

384
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: they are so for all of the excitement and all

385
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 6: of the energy before the season, this is still in

386
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 6: a lot of ways, guys, probably going to be a

387
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 6: campaign the likes of which he really hasn't dealt with before.

388
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 6: So that you know, that's part of it is accepting

389
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 6: that challenge and figuring out how to navigate it and

390
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 6: and get better as the season goes along.

391
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,159

424
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: I see three eight running down the field making tackles

425
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: with your long hair because I don't have it anymore.

426

427
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: Doing your thing man and then I remember I don't

428
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 3: know what game it was, but you had to catch

429
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: on the sideline where you made a playoff field and

430
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: then a guy it punched out of bounce.

431
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: You've just done everything.

432
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: I've seen you tackle, I've seen you block, I've seen

433
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: you catch footballs. Man, when you enter a preseason, is

434
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: that your mentality, like I have to do everything that

435
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: I can?

436
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, that's kind of I think as an undrafted

437
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 7: guy especially, that's got to be the mentality is the

438
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 7: more you can do, the harder it is to cut.

439
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: You so.

440
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 7: Excelling in a lot of different areas. And that guy

441
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 7: even in my backup long snappers, So just kind of

442
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 7: wherever you can interject yourself, you gotta gotta take advantage

443
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 7: of it.

444
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 5: Are you are you as a backup holder? Also?

445
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, that happened this bring. That was funny.

446
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 5: That's not easy.

447
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 7: I know I've never done it before, but you know

448
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 7: Dixon was gonna be out of town, so it was like, well,

449
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 7: someone's got to do it, So I gave it a

450
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 7: shot with pretty well.

451
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 5: I remember back in my day, I was they did

452
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 5: the same thing.

453
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: I had good hands as a dB and say put

454
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: me in as the backup holders. It's just hard, but

455
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: it is. I mean, it's you know, you got to

456
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: be smooth with it. You got to be able to

457
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 4: put the ball in the right in the right spot.

458
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: But here's what it's telling me, Brady, you're an athlete,

459
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: and so what did you do before playing football? Were

460
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: you all around athlete in high school?

461
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 7: By the time I got to high school, actually, I

462
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 7: ran track freshman year, but after that, I was I

463
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 7: was so immature physically that I mean, I was like

464
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 7: one hundred and forty pounds slot receiver as a freshman.

465
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 7: So I've been every off season trying to gain as

466
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: much weight as I could just in the weight room.

467
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 7: It's about all I did football in the weight room.

468
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna tell my son about you,

469
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: because my guy just started high school today and he

470
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: looks like he's in sixth grade. So I'm gonna tell him, Hey,

471
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 3: Brady Russell said, don't worry about it, but hey, man,

472
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: if he wants it, Hey, if he wants it, I

473
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: tell him prayer at night each of vegetables and go

474
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: to sleep.

475
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: You'll be fine. Hey.

476
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: But but Brady, man, what's it like for you? Like

477
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: have you always had the mentality of just being kind

478
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: of reckless, because I watch you play and it's like

479
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: you have to be kind of crazy and reckless to

480
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: do the things that you do, but you also have

481
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: to find the line and say, all right, I have.

482
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: To do this within the scheme of the game.

483
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: Is that something that's always been with you or something

484
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: that you've developed over the years.

485
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 7: I'd say it's kind of been. That's something I had

486
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 7: when I was a kid, for sure, a little bit

487
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 7: of a reckless mentality, but I think that comes with

488
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 7: being the youngest of three brothers. So I was a

489
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 7: crash dummy. You know, that's a big part of it.

490
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 7: But I like to think of it as a controlled chaos.

491
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 4: You your second year now, and they always talking about

492
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: the jump from your rookie yar your second year, But

493
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 4: this is also the third scheme, third offensive coordinator you've

494
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: had in three years. You come from Colorado. Last year

495
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: you got Waldron. Now you know we got Grub. How

496
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: difficult is that to learn a new and it's basically

497
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: learning a new language each year.

498
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 7: Yes, their shoot. I think I had four of them

499
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: in college, and then I had when I was in

500
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 7: Philly last preseason and then I came here and now Yeah,

501
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 7: so I couldn't tell you how many I've had, but

502
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: learning an offense ain't too much trouble for me anymore.

503
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: Right, it's almost like they speak of it's almost like Latin, right,

504
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 3: I hear Latin and here Spanish, I hear English. I go, yeah,

505
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: I can kind of make out what they're saying. You know, yeah,

506
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: it's Latin music. Come on, you get it?

507
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: Got that live a one.

508
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: I've been married fifteen years, bless my heart. But right

509
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: when when you think about this offense and how explosive

510
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: it can be, I'm really excited about this tight end

511
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: room because I think fact you guys will be able

512
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: to tap into something we haven't seen here in a while.

513
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: Described Grub and how he talks about and teaches this offense.

514
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a good question to describe Grub. He's a

515
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 7: very detailed guy. But at the same time he allows

516
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 7: us to have our freedom to I mean, we've been

517
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 7: playing a long time, right, so we have instincts and

518
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 7: we have knowledge about the game that when you're out

519
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 7: there on the field, like something that maybe all week

520
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 7: long you've been doing it a certain way on paper

521
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 7: or whatever, But he trusts our instincts, threats to go

522
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 7: make plays and have the freedom to to do so.

523
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 7: I guess that does that make sense?

524
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, it does.

525
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I'll stay with that type of question. Let's

526
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 4: talk about coach mcdo him. He's a defensive guy. Usually,

527
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: you know, head coaches have a way of spending more

528
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 4: time on one side than the other. But he's actually

529
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: going to be the guy calling the defensive plays. How

530
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 4: much interaction does he have with the offense?

531
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 7: Oh, quite a bit, I'd say. I mean, I'll practice long,

532
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 7: I'll he's right there in the thick of it, and

533
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 7: they're an individual drills and stuff. He'll be circling around.

534
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 7: But he does a good job outside of practice as well,

535
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 7: interacting with us. And he's in the tight end room

536
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 7: just the other day just talking to us, kind of

537
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 7: hanging out before our meeting even started. So he does

538
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 7: a good job of investing in us as well. So

539
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 7: it is cool that he's able to do that.

540
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 5: What type of personality is he?

541
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: And I think of the movie Miracle, The Miracle on

542
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 4: ice and Herb Brooks the coach and when he was

543
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: picked a team without any help, he walked in and

544
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 4: said I'll be your coach. I won't be your friend.

545
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: If you need a friend, you got coach.

546
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 5: Here and here.

547
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 4: What what is coach McDonald like in how he interacts

548
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 4: with you guys?

549
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Uh?

550
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 7: I think it's kind of fun because I don't think

551
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 7: I've ever had a coach quite this young.

552
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: Uh.

553
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 7: But he's he has a good way of being a

554
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 7: leader and using his authority. But also he sometimes he

555
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 7: just feels like he's another one of the guys, you know,

556
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 7: which is really cool because he has the respect that

557
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 7: is needed and kind of demanded. I guess as well,

558
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 7: Uh from a head coach, or I guess from a

559
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 7: good head coach, it should be right. And but he

560
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 7: also is able to relate with us, So it's a

561
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 7: it's a cool dynamic.

562
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

563
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: And I had Homegren on his way out when I

564
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 3: was in NFL, so there's no games at Homegren. Get

565
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: your job done or your cut, but man, you're on

566
00:26:58,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: your off time.

567
00:26:59,760 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: Man.

568
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 3: When I was in the league, call of duty online

569
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 3: was just getting popping, So I spent a lot of

570
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: time doing that and my wife will remind me of that.

571
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: Now I spend a lot of time golfing on all times?

572
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 2: What do you do? What do you do for fun? Shoot?

573
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 7: Typically, I mean I don't got a lot of free time.

574
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 7: I get home and I'm well. I did tune into

575
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 7: the Rodeo tonight. That's probably the first time my TV

576
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 7: has been on in a few weeks. But uh, I

577
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 7: read and I watch some tape and go to sleep.

578
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 7: But I do on our off days, I like to

579
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 7: go hunting and duck season will start up here in October,

580
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 7: so I'm pretty excited about that.

581
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: All right, what do you read right now?

582
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: Right now, I'm reading a It's a biography on Zach Williams.

583
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 7: I don't know if you know who that is. He's

584
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 7: a former rock star turned worship leader, which is pretty cool.

585
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: Awesome.

586
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,080

Speaker 2: Brady, Uh, we appreciate you, man.

595
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: There's something about the tight ends that always get me

596
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: in more.

597
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 8: You're going.

598
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: You guys are a unique breed. You're asked to do

599
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: a lot. You're attached to the offensive line, you're using

600
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: the run game, and then uh, you do things like

601
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: running the wrong route but getting the football and scoring

602
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: touchdowns in preseason.

603
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: So hey, we appreciate you, Brady man, and I'm so

610
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: in in the middle of the season, it took time

611
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: to hang out. When is when we returned, we would

612
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,520

Speaker 8: Man.

626
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: We did it with Wyman hosting for a few years,

627
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: and you and I were kind of sidekicks. Nasa just said,

628
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: I've been doing this for nine years. I didn't even know.

629
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 4: I don't even know how I got started to do

630
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: it on a Thursday. I must just stop traveling a

631
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: little bit, because back in the old days, I mean

632
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 4: I traveled Monday through Thursday.

633
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: I was never you just showed up and never left.

634
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 3: Know.

635
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: I filled in for like Warren Moon one year, and

636
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: then Max Strong for a few times. And then when

637
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 4: Nasa became the producer, I don't know. He just knows talent.

638
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: And he said, hey, I'm getting you two together.

639
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: Is I need a guy? I know a guy.

640
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: He's the guy. All right, let's go around the NFL

641
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: man the first one. Listen, all right.

642
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: We all have those XES that we check in on, all.

643
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: Right, And if you were maybe born in the sixties

644
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: or the fifties, you don't check up on your EX.

645
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: But anything after that, you don't you check up on

646
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: your X. Nah, you don't.

647
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: I don't have an EX exactly A good answer. Number

648
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: one answer, family feud number one answer.

649
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: Thank you all right, But we.

650
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 3: Check up on our axes over here, and our ex

651
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: is Russell Wilson moreyr.

652
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm so concerned you got hold on on.

653
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: We got a live audience here and you're booing Russell Wilson.

654
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.

655
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 4: Oh, don't be arguing with the crab man. You may

656
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 4: lose this one.

657
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm not losing. I never lose hold on. Russell

658
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: Wilson helped get you a Super Bowl. Give him some love.

659
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 4: You'll give him love when he's retired, right now. Wow, Man,

660
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: they look you know what. You know what happens what exes.

661
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: Sometimes they get stung and they just can't let it go.

662
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 2: I do you know what? So you're treating Russell like

663
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: my ex in high school? I get you? Okay, moving along, Yeah,

664
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: but we're.

665
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: We're gonna see what he does, right because Mike Tomlin

666
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: brought him over and says he's going to be our guy.

667
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: That all of a sudden, Justin Fields is available. He goes,

668
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: just in case, I'm bringing this young man over.

669
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: I'm interested. I want to see what he looks like.

670
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 4: Week one, me too, I'm pulling for him as much

671
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: as Tom Brady made Bill Belichick look maybe not as

672
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: great a coach as all the Super Bowls, and it

673
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: was more because of Tom Rady and less about Bill Belichick.

674
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 4: I think Russell Wilson has said it was more about

675
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll than it was about Russell Wilson. And that

676
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: doesn't mean Russell Wilson wasn't a good quarterback. He was

677
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 4: a very good quarterback in the system we had, and

678
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: I thought Pete played the system so that he could

679
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 4: excel the best he could, and Russell didn't get that.

680
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: You know, I want to go and be you know whoever,

681
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes, You're not. You're not that guy, Drew Brees.

682
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 4: I want to be anybody but Russell Wilson. Yeah, and

683
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 4: and rely on defense in a running game. But I'm

684
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: pulling for him. They just don't have the talent there.

685
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: They don't have.

686
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna be able to protect him.

687
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 4: I think defensively they'll be pretty decent, like they usually are.

688
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: But I'm pulling for him. I just I don't think

689
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: he's a bad person. He's a little quirky. I think

690
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: he's a good person and I don't wish negative on

691
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 4: people period. It'll be an open competition, and Justin Field

692
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 4: says yes. I just don't think Justin Fields is a

693
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 4: the quarterback in today's game. You know you've got to

694
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 4: be able to throw the football first. Now, he's talented.

695
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 4: I think you know, if you need to play with

696
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 4: great defense, run the football, and he can run. But

697
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: I think what we saw in Chicago is who he is.

698
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 4: And Russell's on the backside. I mean, he's not gonna

699
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 4: make the Hall of Fame.

700
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: You don't think so.

701
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 5: Now, you don't win a Hall of Fame just winning one.

702
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 4: He had a really good stretch of seven or eight years,

703
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 4: but you got to win two to get that guarantee.

704
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: Eli Manning has won two.

705
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: He that was my question I was gonna ask.

706
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 5: The only reason he.

707
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: Would get in is because he won two Super Bowls.

708
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: Terry Bradshaw didn't have great numbers.

709
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: He won four.

710
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: Four, Yes, what I mean, so super bowls matter. I

711
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: think if he won the second one, he's in for sure.

712
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson, but I think the stain of his the

713
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 4: demise of his career, is going to be their voters

714
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: are just They're going to remember that, and they're going

715
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 4: to say you were a system guy.

716
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 5: I think he created that more than now.

717
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: That's so unfortunate because there were years where he carried

718
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: the squad and the defense wasn't anything. But you're right,

719
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 3: it's all about how you are perceived. Right now, it

720
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: is twenty to ten. The Chiefs have the lead over

721
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: the Ravens in the third quarter. So I was hoping

722
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: that the Ravens beat the Chiefs and the Chiefs go

723
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: on and do what they what I think they're gonna

724
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 3: do and win another championship. But that isn't the case.

725
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: All right, Let's talk more about the NFL. Aaron Rodgers

726
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 3: last year, there was so much hype around him playing

727
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 3: for the Jets, the offensive weapons, he had, the defense

728
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 3: that on paper he had four plays in.

729
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: He's injured, he's done for the year.

730
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Aaron Rodgers, and I'm looking at that

731
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 3: division and I say, look, Aaron could get it done.

732
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: But you still have the Dolphins. We all know the

733
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 3: Patriots are, you know, not who they used to be.

734
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 3: How do you viewed the Jets and Aaron.

735
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 4: Rodgers, Well, I think the Jets will have a good

736
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: defense offensively, Look man Hackett, their offensive coordinator.

737
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: I'm shocked he's still there.

738
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 4: Seems like a great guy, just hasn't had a lot

739
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: of success when he hasn't had Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback.

740
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 4: I just think, look at his age coming off that

741
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 4: Achilles injury. I'm more worried about his injury than anything.

742
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 4: But he hasn't He didn't play last year. The year

743
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 4: he did is last year when he's at Green Bay,

744
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 4: he didn't play well. So he hasn't played really good

745
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: football in almost four years. So yeah, he's smart and

746
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 4: knows how to get rid of the football and all

747
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 4: that stuff. But if they don't protect him, I don't

748
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 4: Their offensive line has been an issue.

749
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 5: If they don't protect him, he's injury probably.

750
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't see him playing every game

751
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 4: really not if they don't protect him. So I think, look,

752
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 4: I think they'll be Obviously they're going to be better.

753
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 4: I just I don't see the huge bounce back. Even

754
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 4: though pulling for something about Aaron Rodgers, he's just that weird, quirky.

755
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 4: I don't agree with all the junkie does, but he's entertaining,

756
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: you know, he.

757
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 5: Just speaks his mind.

758
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 4: I respect people just speak their mind in particularly not

759
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: hurting other people.

760
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 5: So, uh so I'm pulling for him too.

761
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 3: Anybody who was born in the eighties and is still

762
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 3: playing football, you got my support.

763
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: Aaron born in the eighties, I got him.

764
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 4: I mean born in the eighties. I mean I was

765
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL in the eighties. I mean that's weird.

766
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 4: It's all right, and you were great. I'm gott I'm

767
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 4: getting better and better every year that I can remember.

768
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 3: All Right, let's uh, let's let's stay in the in

769
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: the division, and let's talk about the forty nine ers.

770
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: Man. That window has to be closing.

771
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: I mean, what six years they've been at this thing,

772
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: four or five years, Conference championship, lost in the Super

773
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: Bowl two times. Trenton Williams just signed, so he's good

774
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: to go. Brandon and a Yuga as well. Next year they

775
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: have to sign brock Purty. Deebo's gonna want his money,

776
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: Kittle's gonna want his money. This is it in my

777
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: opin Moyer. If they don't get it done this year,

778
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: I don't know about it.

779
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 4: I keep saying that because they've had to get rid

780
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 4: of you know, it was at Buckner they had to

781
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 4: get rid of some guys that they couldn't afford. They've

782
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: got six guys that are on the top five paid

783
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 4: at their position. Yeah, when Brock Purty signs, that changed

784
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 4: the game, because that's a forty to fifty I don't

785
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't even get into the dollar number.

786
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 5: You can't get into it.

787
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 4: I look at how much salary cap is he going

788
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 4: to get, because if you get ten to twenty percent

789
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 4: of the salary cap, you're going to get forty.

790
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 5: To sixty million dollars crazy in.

791
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 4: Salary which is not so I big believe the next

792
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: collective bargaining agreement, there's one quarterback, there's two or three

793
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: on a team. Do the maths thirty two teams, so

794
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 4: there's ninety six of them out there. Ninety plus there's

795
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 4: over a thousand football players. I am going to collective

796
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 4: bargaining and saying because of the salary cap, no one

797
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 4: player can have more than ten percent of the cap.

798
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: Crazy. I'm not crazy, no way.

799
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: So in the NBA they do that way. They tier

800
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 5: it right.

801
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 4: So Lebron James as much as he does here, if

802
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: you're in Tier one, you all kind of get paid

803
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 4: the same.

804
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 5: You got a cap.

805
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 4: The same, they get paid good money and then tier

806
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 4: two gets paid good money. When you have a quarterback

807
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 4: taking sixty million dollars and you're cutting a guy like,

808
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 4: who do we cut the guy who went to Caroline linebacker.

809
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: Our sheriff, sheriff. Now it was OHG Redigan.

810
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 4: Redigan did not make this team because he was making

811
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 4: three million dollars and they said, you're a backup.

812
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 5: We can't pay a backup three million dollars.

813
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 4: Because we got a quarterback that's going to make fifty

814
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 4: sixty million dollars. Those guys are actually affecting veterans. And

815
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: so I just if I'm a player. Here, here's my point.

816
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 4: If you and I have a vote and we can

817
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 4: say I can double my salary by not allowing quarterbacks

818
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 4: to take twenty twenty five percent of the salary cap,

819
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 4: and we get that vote, I'm voting that man.

820
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 5: You're already you're.

821
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 4: Going to make fifty million dollars a year. I can't

822
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 4: even make the team because I cost you much.

823
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 5: At do more?

824
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: Do more? I got cut? Do more? Do more? I

825
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: feel like.

826
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: Position, and by the way, it will still be the

827
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: highest paid position. What I'm saying is this is We've

828
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 4: only got one hundred dollars to spend, buddy. This isn't baseball,

829
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: where you know what, as an owner you can take

830
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: a loss.

831
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 5: Now, football you can only spend so much money.

832
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 4: So I know I'm bringing up this deal, but it's

833
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 4: got into what they've now created that the quarterback position

834
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 4: is so important that we're going to protect them. We're

835
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 4: going to change the rules of the game. I'm just like,

836
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 4: let's knock that off, man. And so how many quarterbacks

837
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 4: can you have on a team? Now?

838
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: You really can only have one.

839
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 5: I can't afford to.

840
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: If you're not the starter, then you're not the start that.

841
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 4: I mean to in the game. All right, And look,

842
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 4: I don't know problem captin them. They're still gonna make

843
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: a home.

844
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 2: This is something we're gonna talk about after the show

845
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: over a couple of beers.

846
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 4: I'm a capitalist, talk about this. I'm a capitalist. There's

847
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 4: so much money.

848
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 2: This is why I love this guy.

849
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 3: I text him all throughout the season and we'll go

850

00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,040

00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 3: that I appreciate about your game is that you're just relentless.

872
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 4: Man.

873
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: People don't realize you're taking on double teams all day.

874
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 2: And if I were a.

875
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 3: Man who was capable of taking on double teams and winning,

876
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 3: I'd be talking so much stuff. You don't even realize

877
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 3: what's going with what would come out of my mouth?

878
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 2: Man? What's it like for you in the trenches? Man? Like?

879
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: How did you make that transition?

880
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 3: Because something tells me you probably pay running back or

881
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 3: tight end or something like that.

882
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: How did you get there?

883
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 8: So? Oh, Man, I grew up playing running back from

884
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 8: Lily all the way to like ninth grade, I stopped

885
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 8: playing running back. Man, I transitioned to linebacker.

886
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: Yep.

887
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 8: So my sophomore year I made varsity a middle linebacker

888
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 8: right around like two fifty at the time. Fifty. Uh

889
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 8: it was. It was one game I made I forgot

890
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 8: like it was like a package or somewhere. I go

891
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 8: to d lin and I ended up making the TfL

892
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 8: so like the third It was like right after the

893
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 8: third game of the season. Right after that game, my

894
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 8: coach came up to me, one of my coaches. He

895
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 8: was like, you ever thought about playing D lion? I

896
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 8: looked at him like he was crazy at first, because

897
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 8: I've never seen myself playing D line like at all.

898
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 8: I never pictured anything. But I decided to, you know,

899
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 8: to make the move. I told my parents. They was

900
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 8: pissed off at me and everything. Mom cussing me, out like, man,

901
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 8: why you do that? YadA, YadA, YadA, And then but

902
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 8: you know, I end up making the busin decision for myself.

903
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 8: You know, that's the reason why I'm here.

904
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: It worked out.

905
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well they paid defensive line.

906
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: It's big money nowadays, So that was a good decision

907
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 4: because you know, I was blessed to coach Cortes Kennedy

908
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 4: back when he was the Defensive Player of the Year

909
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 4: and watching Byron Murphy, I said, you guys have a

910
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: different skill set, but I go, this is the most

911
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 4: skilled defensive lineman we've had since Cortest Kennedy. So big, big, big,

912
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 4: Those are big things to do. But what impressed me

913
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 4: the most, and I did, I watched a lot of

914
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 4: film on you, and he was double team almost every

915
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: snap last year at Texas, and he had some good

916
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 4: defensive linemen around him too, but they knew he was

917
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,479
Speaker 4: a guy. What impressed me probably the most. You never

918
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 4: you never take a playoff. I mean, this guy's motor

919
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 4: was unbelievable. And you get double team, you get you

920
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 4: get tired. Where where does that come from?

921
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: Man?

922
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 5: Is that just born with this? Your mom, your dad?

923
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 5: There's got to be something about that.

924
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 8: Oh man, it's really a monster, you know, just uh,

925
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 8: just having ever relentless monset, just you know, telling yourself.

926
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 8: Uh you know, just you know, just keep going always,

927
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 8: you know, each and every play, you know, give it, y'all,

928
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 8: give it one hundred percent. You know. Uh, to me,

929
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 8: it's all about effort. You know, I'm big on effort,

930
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 8: you know. Uh That's what I strived for, you know.

931
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 8: Uh so I just continue to push myself, you know,

932
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 8: each and area play, no matter where I'm double team,

933
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 8: single block, you know, whatever the case might be. And

934
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 8: I'm gonna going I'm going one hundred percent. I'm giving

935
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 8: my all every play. I'm gonna go a hundred math pout.

936
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 4: When you came here, another thing that was impressive. You

937
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 4: have a you have a bunch of past moves. I

938
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 4: mean you can bul rush. I mean you got swim,

939
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 4: you got ripped, you use quickness. What have you added

940
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 4: to that since you've been here with Seattle.

941
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 8: Man, I don't added a lot, uh man, just counter moves.

942
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 8: Just man, just being with them guys like Jay Reed, Leo,

943
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 8: you know, Jonathan Hankins. Man, they don't taught me. It's

944
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 8: like so much even with not even just move even

945
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 8: with my stands, just helped me get off better. But

946
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 8: far as moves wise, like Jay Reed, he don'e taught me.

947
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 8: You know the chop club, you know, Leo, I've been working.

948
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 8: I've been watching him swim, so now I'm swimming all

949
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 8: over the place now. So Man, learning from them, God

950
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 8: being around there. I appreciate them too, because that I

951
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 8: brought my game to a whole nother level since I've

952
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 8: been here.

953
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: Man, you guys on the defensive line are responsible for

954
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: so much like what you got guys do affect the

955
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: second level and then on the back end when you

956
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: look at what Mike McDonald is trying to do with

957
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: you guys on that first and second level, how encouraged

958
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 3: are you about what the potential is about this defense?

959
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

960
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 8: Man, I'm very incurious, Mike. It's it's scary man. This

961
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 8: Uh just how he thinks, you know, how you operate,

962
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 8: how you see the defense, like all these pieces and everything,

963
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 8: just how he put his players, put the right players

964
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 8: in the position to make a play. It's like he

965
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 8: knowsed players in and out, And man, I feel like

966
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 8: we're gonna really I feel like we really got some

967
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 8: special disshear. I feel like we're gonna do something really really,

968
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 8: like real big this. I feel like I'm gonna shock

969
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 8: a lot of people.

970
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, we we agree with that.

971
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 4: I mean, we were talking about the linebackers just to

972
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 4: speed there, just the coverage. I think it's gonna give

973
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: you guys time to get through the quarterback and vice versa,

974
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 4: where they're gonna get the quarterback and they're gonna get

975
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: rid of the ball quick as well. Are they just

976
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 4: talk about when you're in college, were you guys a

977
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: little more of vanilla? I mean, did they do things

978
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 4: to try to free you up? Because I know that's

979
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: what Mike.

980
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 5: Wants to do.

981
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 4: He wants to get one on one matchups. She said,

982
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 4: from there, Now it's your job. But are there things

983
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 4: different that he does than you were doing it?

984
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 7: Oh?

985
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 8: Man, Yeah, it's totally different. I mean I come from

986
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 8: you know, a similar defense, you know, with all the

987
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 8: slinging to moving and everything, change diurations and stuff like that.

988
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 8: But in Texas, yeah, we was more vanilla. You know,

989
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 8: so I played primarily knows, so I was just eating

990
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 8: up all the doubles and everything, and then when I

991
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 8: did get it one on one, I just I got it,

992
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 8: but that was never very rare. But you know, being

993
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 8: with Mike though, I feel like, you know, he's created me,

994
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 8: created a lot of opportunities for me. You know, just

995
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 8: from the playing at the zero just three take, you know,

996
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 8: the four out of fives. There's so many opportunities in

997
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 8: the defense for me to go out there and make

998
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 8: a play man.

999
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 3: What I love about a locker room, even from Texas

1000
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 3: to Seattle, is that you meet so many people from

1001
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 3: different places. And I remember the first time I was

1002
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 3: up here in Northwest for the Seahawks, first time I

1003
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 3: went camping, the first time I went snowboarding. I was

1004
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 3: on a boat. Like, have you done something that you

1005
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: haven't done in Texas?

1006
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 2: Here in Washington, Man, I haven't.

1007
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 8: I haven't. I've been so busy with you know, training, camping, everything.

1008
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 8: I haven't. But I'm looking forward to especially getting on

1009
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 8: that water. I got to get on that water. That

1010
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 8: water is so beautiful.

1011
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot to do, a lot to do.

1012
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: Now it's beautiful. You're gonna find out. I mean, this

1013
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 4: is the opener. And I don't know how much we

1014
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 4: promoted this, but the twelves are They're serious. Now, look

1015
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: I get it. High school Texas football. There's nothing like it.

1016
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: I mean, he and I were talking because I'm down

1017
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 4: in Dallas now. I mean, you've got stadiums that are

1018
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: eighty million, they're twenty thousand.

1019
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

1020
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 4: His team last year they were I think we're thirteen

Speaker 4: in the NFL. I'm telling you right now, you guys

1027
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 4: will not be louder than you're gonna see Sunday. There

1028
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 4: may be more people in the stands, like one hundred

1029
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 4: thousand at Texas, but this.

1030
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 5: Could be crazy. Have you got the vibe yet? What

1031
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 5: the twelves are about?

1032
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:14,920

1035
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 8: I want to speak them to be that you know

1036
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 8: that pack, but just knowing they came out there for

Speaker 8: a preseason game. Man, I feel a love. I feel

1038

1039
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 8: you know, I appreciate the fans for that for sure.

1040
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 4: So so one thing we we we were known the twelves.

1041
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 4: They create more fault starts in any stadium in in

1042
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 4: the NFL. I am sorry. I was excited to get

1043
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 4: you in. So I'm taking over the interview. But and

1044
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 4: now I'm gonna lose. I lost my train of thought

1045
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 4: because of that. I can't remember what I was gonna say, Paul,

1046
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 4: that's okay. I literally that's all I want. I know,

1047
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 4: But I don't remember that I was gonna say ask question.

1048
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: All Hey, so you're sitting there and with your family

1049
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 3: and your friends one you had the livest draft party

1050
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: of all the guys that I saw. I said this

1051
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 3: to you during the rookie spotlight pops fit Gucci had

1052
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 3: to toe was on point.

1053
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 2: Man. I love that, and I told my boys, I go,

1054
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: we need this energy there.

1055
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Like, the Northwest is a

1056
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: special place. But I think that because of football, you're

1057
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 3: able to bring so many different coaches and styles and

1058
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 3: stuff to the game.

1059
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm loving what what what you bring to this team? Man?

1060
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 2: Is there anyone on the squad that you connect with?

1061
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 7: It?

1062
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: When it comes to just the culture that you're bringing

1063
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: to this thing.

1064
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 8: Man, that's my guy. You know, since I got here.

1065
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 8: You know, he took me up under his wing man.

1066
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 8: That's that's that's my guy. That's that's my bit. So

1067
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 8: he not take his cat, but he's from North Carolina.

1068
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 8: But yeah, man, me and we relate to you to

1069
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 8: the a lot it.

1070
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 4: You're gonna make him better too, because he got doubled

1071
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 4: the bunch last.

1072
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 2: Year and still got seven seconds.

1073
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know who they're want to double. I mean,

1074
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're gonna be able to double

1075
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 5: anybody there.

1076
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 4: So here was my Now I got my train of

1077
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 4: thought that he messed me up there. I was saying,

1078
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 4: But the number of false starts we've had, we've we

1079
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 4: lost a little bit of the home field advantage over

1080
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 4: the last few years.

1081
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 5: I'm more saying, A Twels aren't loud.

1082
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 4: No, No, when it gets loud is when the defense

1083
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 4: is dominant. Because these are educated fans, they will be

1084
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: quiet when the offense is on the field, and they

1085
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 4: do not stop at all when the defense there and

1086
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 4: stops and turnovers and sacks. So I'm just challenging, we

1087
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 4: got to get that legion to Boom twelve home field

1088

1089
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,920

1090
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 5: Part of it.

1091
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 3: Is there so going into this season, I don't know

1092
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,680

Speaker 2: And from our.

1097
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 3: Perspective, it's all right, let's see how good this defense

1098
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 3: can get.

1099
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 2: But we think this offense should lead the charge.

1100
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 3: Like, what's the feeling with you guys when it comes

1101
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 3: to offense defense?

1102
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: Or is it truly just a team atmosphere?

1103
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:25,239

1120
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 4: the first defensive players taking off. You were you disappointed

1121
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,919

1122

Speaker 4: here with Seattle.

1124
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, it pissed me off a little bit,

1125
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 8: but you know, I feel like, you know, it's all

1126

Speaker 5: going to bed.

1146
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 3: We are so fortunate, like we over the last what

1147
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: six years we've been doing this, we interview these rookies

1148
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 3: for the first time and then we get to see

1149
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: him grow and blossom.

1150
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 2: And I feel like the last two years.

1151
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 3: This group has been one of the better groups because

1152
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: they're locked in, they're focused, and it's, uh, it's a

1153
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 3: good interview.

1154
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1155
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 4: I you know, I don't know if they just prepare

1156
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 4: them better or I don't know, they just all, you know,

1157
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 4: seem to know what they want and you know, they

1158
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 4: speak well. So I just think, look this, he's probably

1159
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 4: the most the most excited I've been about one of

1160
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 4: our draft picks, and mainly because we haven't drafted high

1161
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 4: and when we have drafted high, spend like Charles Cross

1162
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 4: and d Spoon.

1163
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 5: Yeah Spoon, I mean you got to go back to

1164
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 5: man a long long time before you get.

1165
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: Which is a blessing, right yeah, because we're not because.

1166
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 4: You know, maybe you gotta go almost back to Earl.

1167
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 4: You know, when he got him, I thought, Okay, he

1168
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 4: has chance to be really special. This guy has chance

1169
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 4: to be really special. I think last year, you know,

1170
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 4: getting JSN, I was I was pretty excited, you know,

1171
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: not that I wasn't excited about Charles Cross.

1172
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 5: It was a need at the time.

1173
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 4: It's an offensive tackle and you're like going, yeah, okay, man.

1174
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 4: When we got Walter Jones, I went, oh, he's gonna

1175
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 4: be pretty good. But it's not the sexy pick this

1176
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 4: guy because we just haven't had a dominant interior lineman

1177
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 4: and so long we had good players, but I mean dominant.

1178
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 4: And when I really truly believe he's gonna make Jay

1179
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 4: read better, I mean Leonard Williams is gonna be better.

1180
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 4: They're gonna they're not gonna be Teams are gonna have

1181
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 4: to figure out who they're gonna say in a game plan,

1182
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 4: who are we taking away?

1183
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 3: I think, as a lot of people know, it's all

1184
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 3: it all starts in a box. So when you get

1185
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 3: a guy who can take on double teams, who can

1186
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 3: split the gap get in the backfield. I think it

1187
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 3: was the game against the Charges where he got into

1188
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 3: the backfield. It was like they're on a two or

1189
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 3: three yard line. Almost got a sack. I believe Derek

1190
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 3: Hall ended up getting the sack. But man, you guys

1191
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 3: just watched this young man work. He's not gonna get

1192
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 3: a lot of stats. He's not gonna wow you on

1193
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 3: the box score, but his influence on the game it's

1194
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 3: gonna be crazy.

1195
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 4: Yeah he might though because he had four and a

1196
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 4: half sacks last year, but if you go and look

1197
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,919
Speaker 4: at the amount of times he split a double team

1198
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 4: and the ball had to come out but he didn't

1199
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 4: get a sack. Yeah, it was It's crazy how much.

1200
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 4: And you know the other team had a really good team,

1201
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 4: so they didn't have to play him every single snap.

1202
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 4: You know, they had some leads and stuff. I if

1203
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 4: they don't double team him, and it's hard to get

1204
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 4: sacks in this leak. I mean, ball comes out so quick.

1205
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 4: He is going to be disruptive that his quarterback hurry,

1206
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 4: quarterback hits right. I think you're gonna see a lot

1207
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 4: of those the disruption as you met I. I did

1208
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 4: want to ask him, you know, did he think he

1209
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 4: was a better run defender or a past rusher. But

1210
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 4: he's a complete player. I don't think he has a

1211
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 4: weakness in his game. And he's a rookie and he's

1212
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 4: twenty one years old, youngster.

1213
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go all right, let's talk about what a

1214
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 3: success is for this team this year. Vegas has these

1215
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 3: guys at seven and a half wins. It always amazes

1216
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 3: me where they find that half win.

1217
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what they do. But for people who bet,

1218
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: I guess it makes sense. To me.

1219
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 3: I don't bet it'll make sense. But they got him

1220
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: at seven and a half wins. I got them at nine.

1221
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 3: For me, success means that you finished second in the division,

1222
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 3: which is gonna be tough.

1223
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: The Rams are gonna be better. Cooper Cup is here.

1224
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 2: You got Puga Nikua.

1225
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 3: Obviously you've lost Aaron Donald, but Kobe Turner is gonna

1226
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 3: be supposed to the guy to fill that role. If

1227
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 3: you look at Arizona and this defense should be better.

1228
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 3: They didn't lose their linebacker. I forgot his name in

1229
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 3: u in Uh, not a Simmons. I forgot his same

1230
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 3: starts with oh but uh, in training camp, this should

1231
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 3: be a competitive division.

1232
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: What does it SSS look like to you?

1233
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 4: I think I'd be disappointed anything less than nine and seven,

1234
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 4: and I yes, our schedule to excuse me, nine and eight. Yeah,

1235
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 4: that's gonna still take me a few more years. I'm

1236
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 4: gonna call the the LA Chargers San Diego a few

1237
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 4: times too.

1238
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 5: Nine and eight. I think I'd be disappointed.

1239
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 4: I think our schedules, it's tough, but most of our

1240
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 4: tough games Miami, Buffalo, Green Bay, they're at home, right

1241
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 4: I mean, so, yeah, we gotta go to Detroit, but

1242
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 4: we got to go to Atlanta, who has chance to

1243
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 4: be much improved. So there's no easy games in the

1244
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 4: NFL anyways, And we'll see how this thing plays out.

1245
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 4: But if if we can start off four and one,

1246
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 4: which I think we can, I mean, we hope up

1247
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 4: against you know, a rookie quarterback, we should win that one.

1248
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean we will, but should do we go

1249
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 5: to New England, we should win that one.

1250
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 4: They're probably gonna have maybe I don't think Many is

1251
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 4: starting right now, but it's Bridgewater.

1252
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 5: I think they have a ute.

1253
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 4: Then we then we got Miami here, but I think

1254
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 4: we match up well and we're here right, and then

1255
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 4: we have the Lions would be a tough one. Then

1256
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 4: we have a giant so at worse three and two,

1257
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 4: four and one, and then then the schedule gets real

1258
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 4: because then we got the forty nine ers and some

1259
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 4: divisional games.

1260
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 5: But I think success is.

1261
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 4: We we get back to being the dominant defense, and

1262
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 4: I think we can and I think we become an

1263
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 4: explosive offense again, which we have not been right, and

1264
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 4: that to me success.

1265
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 5: I think the schedule will take care of itself.

1266
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 4: Here's where I would say, if you were a betting man,

1267
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 4: and if if if the over under for wins was eight,

1268
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 4: you know, and you said they massively underperformed and went

1269
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 4: six games, or they massively overperformed eleven games, what's more

1270
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 4: likely to happen?

1271
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 5: Win eleven or only win you know, six?

1272
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: That's so tough. I think eleven more likely than six.

1273
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 4: I think we're talented, and I think we're gonna be

1274
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: a well coached team that is going to take the

1275
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 4: gloves off and says let's go for it. And that's

1276
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 4: just that's not a knock on our previous coaches. They

1277
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 4: were successful. But I think with this talent. You got

1278
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 4: to take the gloves off, but go ahead and play.

1279
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 2: My man says, take the gloves off.

1280
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 3: This next segment, he usually takes the gloves off, put

1281
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 3: on the UFC gloves or a bit lighter and tries

1282
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 3: to knock me out.

1283
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: But uh, seven eight years in the game, I'm still standing.

1284
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 5: You're my best man. I don't try to I don't

1285
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 5: try to knock you out.

1286
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: A look at him trying to soften me up.

1287
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 3: All right, Coming up next, we got talk back, talk well,

1288
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 3: knock down some categories and give our opinions, and my

1289
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: guy Moyer will let you know that he is right

1290
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 3: and I'm right as well.

1291
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 2: That's coming up that right here on Hawk's Live.

1292
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: It's time to talk that talk with Michael Bumpas and

1293
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer on Hawks Live.

1294
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Hawks Live. I'm Michael Bumas with my

1295
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 2: guy Paul Moyer. It is now time to talk that talk.

1296
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 3: This is you know, I don't I like this, but

1297
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 3: I don't like it at the same time because you know,

1298
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 3: I just I just do what I do and there's

1299
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 3: no competition with this.

1300
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 2: Moyer.

1301
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 4: Well, I think I think for you what's difficult is

1302
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 4: probably at home, you went argument and then and then

1303
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 4: you come and hang out with your your boy and

1304
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 4: and it's a tough one to win. It's tough because

1305
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 4: facts mattered. Okay, this isn't about emotion.

1306
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: And so what you're telling me is I'm the emotional

1307
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 3: one in my house, Jennifer bumps.

1308
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 2: If you're listening, I'm the emotional one.

1309
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 5: Look, man, I look, I the times that you bailed

1310
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 5: on me. I blame her. Now, all right, so let's

1311
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 5: let's go and talk to.

1312
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 8: Let's do it.

1313
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 3: Let's talk to that talk. This is when we square

1314
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 3: up and he tells me he's right. I tell him

1315
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 3: I'm right, and then you guys.

1316
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 2: Agree with me. Simple, got it. Let's do it.

1317
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go. First one, moy yave yo. The

1318
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 3: Sea Awks will be a top ten defense and year

1319
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 3: one under coach McDonald.

1320
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 5: Oh Man, top ten. I think they'll play like a

1321
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 5: top ten.

1322
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'll quite get there because we

1323
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 4: got a new coaching staff come in. We're pretty young,

1324
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 4: we had all new linebackers. I mean, we're a very

1325
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 4: different team. I think what's going to be tough to

1326
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 4: make the top ten is we got the forty nine

1327
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 4: Ers twice, we got the Rams twice, we got we're

1328
01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 4: playing some juggernaut talk. We got Miami coming up. I

1329
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 4: just think it's the teams who are playing. But I

1330
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 4: think we'll play like a top ten defense. I just

1331
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 4: don't know if we'll crack that from what us.

1332
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: Playing like a top ten defense.

1333
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 4: It means that we're we're getting off the field, we're

1334
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 4: winning because of our defense. They're not giving up big plays,

1335
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 4: they're not converting forty third down, they're not winning the

1336
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 4: time of possession. That doesn't mean we're not giving up

1337
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 4: some yards here and there.

1338
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: Now.

1339
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 5: I just think we're playing such explosive.

1340
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 4: Teams that, like at forty nine, you know you got

1341
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 4: to play perfect to shut them down.

1342
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 5: You could slow them down.

1343
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: I get a good example last year Baltimore when they

1344
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 4: played the forty nine ers and they thumped the forty

1345
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 4: nine ers, and everybody thought the forty nine ers at

1346
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 4: time were unbeatable.

1347
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 5: They gave up yards, but they didn't give up points.

1348
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 4: And so I just think that statistic top ten yards

1349
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 4: we may not crack, but I think we'll play like

1350
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 4: a top ten defense for that one.

1351
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we agree on this first one. I

1352
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 3: think it's so tough to go from bottom five to

1353
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 3: top ten. If Mike McDonald is able to do that,

1354
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 3: go ahead and crown them.

1355
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the old parade. Do what you gotta do.

1356
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: But I think it's about progression at this point.

1357
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 3: So going from the dungeon to the middle of the pack,

1358
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 3: I think it's good enough because I believe in the

1359
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 3: offense and what they're going to do. So no, I

1360
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 3: think we're on the same page with this one. I

1361
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 3: don't think top ten is even necessary. I think that

1362
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 3: bass is that's a goal.

1363
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 2: That's something you shoot for, but that's something that will

1364
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 2: deter you from reaching the goal of making the playoffs.

1365
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 4: I think there's statistics that they can get in the

1366
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 4: top ten right which we haven't been close.

1367
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 5: I think the points be one of them. I think,

1368
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 5: you know, maybe I don't know third down conversions things

1369
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 5: like that. Again, but everybody looks.

1370
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 4: At total yards the defense only, But you know, I

1371
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 4: think we're going to be a much improved past defense.

1372
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 5: I'm excited to get after this on Sunday.

1373
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 2: All right, well we got yeah, next.

1374
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 5: Up, yo, Gino. I don't think he necessarily took a

1375
01:03:58,760 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 5: step back.

1376
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 4: I think the team took a step back offensively last year,

1377
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 4: and I think there's a lot of reasons, but Gino

1378
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 4: Smith will have the best year of his career in

1379
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four.

1380
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 3: So the best year of his career is over four

1381
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: thousand yards, thirty touchdowns, and I believe nine interceptions, which

1382
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 3: he did two seasons ago in twenty twenty two.

1383
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 2: Made the Pro Bowl, made the Pro Bowl, made the playoffs,

1384
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: made the playoffs.

1385
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: I think that Ryan Grubb is going to tap into

1386
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 3: something that Gino could have tapped into when he was

1387
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: twenty six rather than thirty two. I believe in Gino

1388
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 3: that much, so I'm gonna go out there and say, yeah,

1389
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 3: I'm with that. Is if he doesn't do it this year,

1390
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that this team isn't successful. Like he

1391
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 3: can have a thirty seven hundred and twenty five touchdowns,

1392
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 3: ten interception year. As long as that defense improves the

1393
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 3: way that we just talked about in that previous argument,

1394
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 3: then I think they're fine. But I truly believe that

1395
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 3: Gino have the best year of his career, which is

1396
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: this year, and and do what he does.

1397
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with that. Let's say I do too.

1398
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 4: I think He's gonna be the shock of the NFL

1399
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 4: this year from an improvement standpoint, just statistically. Two reasons

1400
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 4: why I think we're more talented an offense. You know,

1401
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 4: I think we'll be a better offensive line. We you know,

1402
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 4: when injuries happened last year, you know we're man. We

1403
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 4: were scrambling, we were keeping tight ends to block. This year,

1404
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 4: you know, I think we get no offen involved. I

1405
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 4: think get the running back to the ball. I think

1406
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 4: we got three wide receivers that they're going to have

1407
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 4: to make decisions on. Gino Smith is one of the

1408
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 4: most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. And if you protect

1409
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 4: the pocket and you let him push the ball downfield,

1410
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 4: not worry about interceptions. You cannot turn the ball over,

1411
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 4: but you can't be in his ear all the time saying,

1412
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 4: don't throw this interception.

1413
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 5: Hey, whatever you do, don't throw this interception.

1414
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 4: The second reason why I think he he has his

1415
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 4: career year is I think our defense is gonna be

1416
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 4: vastly improved. He's gonna get the ball back more. I

1417
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 4: think we'll be closer on time of possession. I think

1418
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 4: we'll see more plays from the offense. I think we'll

1419
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 4: convert on third down more that thing has been an

1420
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 4: achilles heel, and it's been the sticks. Everybody nook third

1421
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 4: and six we're gonna run sticks, or that we're gonna

1422
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 4: come up into a bunch formation and we're gonna run

1423
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 4: our pick routes and they just sit back, zone it

1424
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,919
Speaker 4: off and wait for us. So uh and I'm sorry,

1425
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like I'm dogging the old coach staff.

1426
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 4: Not what I mean this staff. It's not about the sticks.

1427
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 4: It's you want to take away sticks. We'll go over

1428
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 4: the top, right, there's something. Sometimes it's third down seven,

1429
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna split the seam on a four yard pass,

1430
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna throw it where you're moving downfield. And

1431
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 4: I just think we're gonna convert more and third, keep

1432
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 4: the chains moving.

1433
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 5: Really excited about what this what this offense can do.

1434
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 2: All right? I think we agree with that one, all right?

1435
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 3: Next up, the forty nine ers run of dominance ends

1436
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 3: this season.

1437
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 4: Man.

1438
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 5: I wish, I wish.

1439
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 4: I think they take a step back, but that step

1440
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 4: back may be a game. I think we're better. I

1441
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 4: think the Rams are better. I think Arizona's better. I

1442
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 4: think the division as a group has gotten a little better.

1443
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 4: They're talented, they're they're just a talented team. You know,

1444
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 4: they may not have the depth they had because they're

1445
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 4: just paying all their starters all the money, so I

1446
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 4: don't know what's behind the starters. They've played a lot

1447
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 4: of football. There's the Super Bowl losing hangover that that

1448
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,960
Speaker 4: does happen, so I think they take a step back.

1449
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 4: But as far as dominance go, man, this team is.

1450
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 4: They're just load of a talent. They're well coached. So

1451
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 4: I'd love to give you the the Homer twelve. We're

1452
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 4: gonna win the West this year. But I think the

1453
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 4: fort nine are still the top dog.

1454
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 3: No, we're not gonna win the West, but they've done

1455
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 3: they don't because I think the Detroit Lions are going

1456
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 3: to take this thing over.

1457
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 2: I think the Green Bay Packers are better than they

1458
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 2: were last year.

1459
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 3: I think the Philadelphia Eagles with the weapons they have

1460
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: on offense, A J. Brown, Devonte Smith, Jehad Dohnson, you

1461
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 3: got Barkley over there. I think the forty nine ers

1462
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 3: are gonna win the West. I think it's it's theirs

1463
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 3: to lose. But as far as the dominance in the NFC,

1464
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 3: this might be the first year in five years that

1465
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 3: they don't make it to the conference championship.

1466
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 2: I truly believe that.

1467
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I should. I should define what dominance is.

1468
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 2: I guess that's dominant division.

1469
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 5: Back to the super Bowl, right, I guess maybe that's

1470
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 5: the point.

1471
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 4: I think it'll be hard for him, and it's you

1472
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 4: got to make sure you don't have injuries, and you

1473
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 4: know there's gonna be a surprise team or two. But

1474
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 4: they're really talented and they're very well coached. So what

1475
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 4: we'll see there?

1476
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 5: Do we have time for one more?

1477
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 2: Let's do one more?

1478
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 5: All right?

1479
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 4: The second year's we always talked about it's the biggest jump.

1480
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 4: You know, We've had some really good drafts. I've seen

1481
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 4: a guy this year that had a really good preseason

1482
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 4: struggled a little bit last year getting on the field.

1483
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 5: I thought he was a little stiff, was learning the game.

1484
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 5: That's Derek Hall.

1485
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 4: So my question to you on this talk is Derek

1486
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 4: Hall would make the biggest sophomore jump on the.

1487
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 5: Team this year.

1488
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 2: So we're comparing him to all the rookies like Devin Witherspoon.

1489
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 4: Jump Devin with JSN, Anthony Bradford, Zach scharbonam.

1490
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: We need him to have the biggest jump because of

1491
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 2: a Jenna to will suit.

1492
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,719
Speaker 3: If Agenda was still healthy and available, I would say, Derek,

1493
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 3: don't worry about it, JSN. I feel like we'll make

1494
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 3: the jump to the number two receiver d Spoon. I

1495
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 3: feel like will continue to be one of the best

1496
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 3: corners in the game.

1497
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,440
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna have to agree.

1498
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 3: That I think this team needs Derek Hall to make

1499
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 3: that jump and he You know what's wild about at

1500
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 3: Jennona Wills who getting banged up, is that Darryl Taylor

1501
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: was let go before that injury right before. Would they

1502
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 3: keep DT if if they knew what was gonna happen?

1503
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Our hindsight, it's always twenty twenty, you know. And if

1504
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 3: I knew I wasn't gonna play ten years in the league,

1505
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 3: I would have studied harder an engineer.

1506
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 5: So here's why I don't know.

1507
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 4: Because Darryl Terryor was a one trick pony, right, I mean,

1508
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 4: he was a pass rusher only he could didn't he could.

1509
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 2: Thought he was getting better at the run game.

1510
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 5: I didn't say he wasn't getting better.

1511
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 4: You don't think so, No, I didn't say he wasn't

1512
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 4: getting better, but he wasn't good yet, and he took

1513
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 4: plays off and he had weird technique and he couldn't

1514
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 4: drop into pass coverage. So I think Darryl Taylor would

1515
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 4: have still been a third down or a pass rusher.

1516
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 4: I think we have plenty of those. I think Draymont

1517
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 4: Jones becomes an edge rusher too. You have you know,

1518
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 4: obviously you have boy A Maffey. There, you had Derek Hall.

1519
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 4: So I think we got enough pieces too. I think

1520
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 4: you made a really good point, and it actually made

1521
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 4: me rethink this because I I was gonna say JSM

1522
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 4: because I think Jasm is going to get a lot

1523
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 4: of targets this year. Last year he was the third target.

1524
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 4: This year, I think he's gonna a lot of targets.

1525
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna have more time to throw the ball.

1526
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 4: I think we're get more opportunities offensively. But I agree,

1527
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 4: I think Derek Hall is going to play more because

1528
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 4: of a genius injury. I think what we saw in preseason,

1529
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 4: it was a jump his physical physicalness, Uh, his speed

1530
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:38,560
Speaker 4: and strength was showed up, and so I'm excited to

1531
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 4: see it there. And he's a great kid. I mean

1532
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 4: you pull for these guys. Jays N's great too, So

1533
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 4: I'm gonna agree with you because.

1534
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 5: I think we need it.

1535
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 2: Okay, this is do we agree on average?

1536
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 3: Our first argument, like you know, honeymoon stays like no, baby,

1537
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 3: you're good. Oh no, baby, get like vacation I haven't

1538
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 3: seen yet? While right, all right, next week we'll get

1539
01:11:59,360 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 3: after it.

1540
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be like I come home from work

1541
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 5: and see what's on what's on the kitchen sink? There

1542
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 5: to eat? If you make my meal?

1543
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 2: Why is it dirty in here?

1544

01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,760

Speaker 3: had the shrimp.

1563
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

1564
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 5: They may because no, man, don't like fish tacos. They're

1565
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 5: they're well. First of all, their talkers are a meal.

1566
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 5: I mean it is.

1567
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 4: I mean it's a meal. You get two of them,

1568
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 4: and you know sometimes they're small. So I had the

1569
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,240
Speaker 4: cod talk. I'm telling you go to Dukes and tell

1570
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 4: me order the their fishtalk cod tacos. I can't remember

1571
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 4: the other one. And if you don't think those are

1572
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 4: the best ever, I will buy that meal.

1573
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 2: Ye you know what.

1574
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 3: And if you don't think that chowder, I say chowder

1575
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 3: because my my uncle's from Boston and that's the way

1576
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 3: he says that Chowda.

1577
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 2: So if you don't have that child at Boston, that's

1578
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: not Boston. No my clothes.

1579
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 5: No, I thought you were down south somewhere chowda.

1580
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 2: How do they say down south Chouda.

1581
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 5: That's almost like Jersey.

1582
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, same thing, New England, Boston, you know, Boston, Boston,

1583
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 4: and then you got you got the Jersey.

1584
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 5: Anyway, we're my wife not you accidents. You're lousy.

1585
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 2: You're from Boston getting the car anyway? There you go?

1586
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I got it there now there

1587
01:13:58,920 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 2: you go.

1588
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 3: Okay, perfect, all right, as long as I'm doing my

1589
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 3: people well on the East coast.

1590
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 2: He but yeah, No, Duke's was awesome. The service is great.

1591
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 3: They have TVs lined up everywhere. You can watch the game.

1592
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 3: Get you some good seafood. It's on point.

1593
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 4: Man.

1594
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 2: So, uh, how do they win this game? More year? Like,

1595
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: you're dealing with a rookie quarterback.

1596
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 3: You just signed a corner in certain who is now

1597
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 3: the highest paid cornerback of all time.

1598
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Is he gonna follow DK? Is he not?

1599
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 8: You know what?

1600
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 2: If he does, don't worry. We got three receivers.

1601
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 5: Running back.

1602
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 3: This defense is not the defense from a couple of

1603
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 3: years ago. How do the Hawks win this game?

1604
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it's very differ No Russell, no Jerry Judy,

1605
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,600
Speaker 4: no Justin Simmons. I mean they've they've gotten rid of

1606
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 4: a lot of players because they had to take the

1607
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 4: hit from Russell Wilson's salary. First of all, I think

1608
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 4: the twelves are a huge factor in this game. I mean,

1609
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 4: it's it's got to be crazy loud, and you gotta

1610
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 4: have Sean Payton coaching the heck out of him through

1611
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 4: the helmet. I just think you can make them make

1612
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 4: it uncomfortable for bow Nicks. You got to force him

1613
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 4: to turn the ball over. You got to make this

1614
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 4: say we're got to throw the ball downfield a little bit.

1615
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 4: And I think we're going to match up really well.

1616
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 4: I mean we we've got guys could play man to

1617
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,600
Speaker 4: man and make it really hard for bow Knicks. I

1618
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 4: think we get after him. I just think the defense

1619
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 4: needs to dominate and get this crowd just in a frenzy.

1620
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 4: And you know what happens when it gets in a

1621
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 4: frenzy and then we start getting in to that rhythm

1622
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,560
Speaker 4: and it's three and out and it's a turnover and

1623
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,560
Speaker 4: it's a three and out and we start winning the

1624
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,640
Speaker 4: field position battle. Now, I think that's it. It's not

1625
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 4: rocket science. You know, you don't turn the ball over

1626
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 4: things like that. I'm what I'm curious is is how

1627
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 4: talented are we because you don't know in preseason, don't

1628
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 4: pre starters long enough. Is our defensive line as good

1629
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 4: as I think it is? Do we match up and

1630
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 4: manned a man injury there on the shoulder as we're

1631
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 4: watching the game, do we match up and could play

1632
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 4: a lot of man to man which makes as a

1633
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 4: coach your life so much easier because Sean Payton's going

1634
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 4: to have a game plan for us, and he's gonna

1635
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 4: have watched a lot of film last year what Baltimore did.

1636
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 4: So how does you know that little cat and mouse

1637
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 4: that's gonna be fun? Mcdonov' Sean Payton. You know, those

1638
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 4: are two of the best in the business at what

1639
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 4: they do. So yeah, I just it's a home game,

1640
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 4: it's a rookie quarterback. I mean, we got to go

1641
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 4: and just play unbelievable football. And I don't want it

1642
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 4: to ste even be close.

1643
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 2: You don't want Yeah, of course we don't want it

1644
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 2: to be close, right, I would.

1645
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 3: I would assume that McDonald has things lined up that

1646
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:41,880
Speaker 3: will confuse a rookie quarterback. The only thing that doesn't

1647
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 3: scare me but concerns me is that bo Nicks played

1648
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 3: sixty one games in college. He's not your average rookie.

1649
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 3: He did play well in the preseason. Obviously, you're not

1650
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 3: playing against ones, you're not seeing exotic blitz is, you're

1651
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,560
Speaker 3: not being challenged the way that you would during the

1652
01:16:59,600 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 3: Week one.

1653
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be the challenge to me.

1654
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 3: How does Mike McDonald's set things up so pre snap

1655
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 3: this rookie is uncomfortable and has to get to his

1656
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 3: back foot and rely on his training. I think that's

1657
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 3: what you do with a rookie quarterback. You have the

1658
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 3: opportunity week one. In Week two you got the Broncos

1659
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 3: and then New England. You play a rookie one week

1660
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,719
Speaker 3: and then you play essentially a career backup in Jacoby

1661
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 3: Brissett this second week. How is Mike McDonald going to

1662
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 3: attack this offense and what is he gonna put on film?

1663
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 3: I feel like it's it's easier to put things on

1664
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 3: film as a defense and say this is what it

1665
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 3: is because you're reacting offensively. What are you gonna put

1666
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 3: on film? And how are you gonna build off of that?

1667
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm again I'm excited to see what Greb does.

1668
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 4: I think defense, we got to make them one dimension.

1669
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 4: You got to force bow knicks to beat you, so

1670
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 4: you better stop that running game. And they got Javonte Williams,

1671
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 4: who you know, good running back. They got a great

1672
01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 4: they have a very good offensive line. So it's gonna

1673
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 4: be a talents for our defensive line where teams have

1674
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 4: really hurt us in the past, where quarterbacks who could

1675
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 4: scramble and run. I think we match up really well.

1676
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 4: We have defensive lineman who can run quarterbacks down. We've

1677
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 4: got linebackers and our speed and our secondary safety corners.

1678
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 5: Uh, they're gonna have a hard time doing that.

1679
01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,839
Speaker 4: So but you know again, I'm it's it's Sean Payton's

1680
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:26,560
Speaker 4: team now, right, no excuses for him. So he'll have

1681
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 4: something and I think we're just going to show we

1682
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 4: have better talents and win this game.

1683
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 3: Nice little update if you're watching Thursday night football, the

1684
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens drove down.

1685
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 2: The field and it looks like push him out of bounds.

1686
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 3: Ah likely got his toes it in the back of

1687
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 3: the end zone to make it twenty six twenty seven.

1688
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 3: Harball says, go for two week one, forget all this noise.

1689
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 3: We are going in and he's wearing the Dions, so

1690
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,640
Speaker 3: that's gonna get always one of the Dion cleaves. Growing up,

1691
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 3: mom and afford him. I said, don't worry about the mom.

1692
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 3: I'll buy myself one day. That's what I did buy

1693
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 3: him for my son.

1694
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 2: Not for me.

1695
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:09,960
Speaker 3: All right, man, It's time to get out of here.

1696
