1 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: The empty backfields for Garoppolo, stand strong, Let's get Bullis out, 2 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: bulls up, does the other way, He's touchdown. And that 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: was a moment that turned around the momentum in the 4 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: first half against the Niners. As we're joined by former 5 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks linebacker Dave Wyman, Dave Jadeveon Clowney dominated Monday Night's game. 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: The Seahawks defense overall had five sacks. What was the 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: difference for them, Well, they started playing together and as 8 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: you'll see later in the show, Jacob Green, Joe Nash, 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: Jeff Bryant played behind those guys for five years. They 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: always played together. And once you start doing that, then 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: everything comes together. And so you see Jarren Reid starting 12 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: to really come into his own to Dave and Clowney 13 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: with five quarterback hits. And what happens then is you 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: saw Jimmy Garoppolo get less and less accurate as the 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: game went on. He was third or fourth as far 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: as completion percentage goes in the league, about seventy. It 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: was fifty two the other night. So that has an effect. 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: And when your defense starts playing together, and it's the 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: coverage and the pass rush working together beautifully, Quandre Diggs 20 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: played well on the back end and his debut for 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Jacob Hollister had another great game for the 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: second straight week, and Josh Gordon made a couple of 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: clutch third down catches. How have these new players changed 24 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: the look of this team. Well, they've just fit right in, 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: you've noticed, and that's a Pete Carroll thing, and it 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: comes from the top down. And you heard from Ugo 27 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: Amadi when he was a rookie. He came in here, 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: the first time, Bobby Wagner comes over to him, starts 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: talking to him. They just bring everybody in and it 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: allows players to start making plays right away. As you mentioned, 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister had a career high eight catches a touchdown. 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: As you said, Josh Gordon came up big, and then 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: Quandre Diggs, I thought, really brought a lot of juice 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: to that secondary with a couple of big hits, got 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: an interception, so key plays and yeah, you're right. I 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: mean they were able to just pick right up as 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: if they've been here the whole year. And I think 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: this is the team in the NFL that's most likely 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: to have that effect because of Pete Carroll. Well, the 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: Seahawks players and coaches enjoying this by weekend at eight 41 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: and two. Overall, where do they need to improve as 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: they head down the stretch. Well, I think they need 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: to continue to work on the coordination of coverage and 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: pass rush, and that's something that they that they really 45 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: proved and there was a play in the game that 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: was so evident of that. Working together. kJ right getting 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: a great deep drop makes the quarterback put air under 48 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: the ball instead of a straight throw. It's has an 49 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: art to it that gives the safety time to get there. 50 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: And Quandre Digs Bradley McDougall day both had a couple 51 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: of really big hits and that discourages those throws over 52 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: the middle, and that's the thing that's been killing the defense. 53 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: So to me, if they can continue to work on 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: that and just get better and better and play together, 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: you know they can play with any team in the NFL. 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are gonna play in the AFC Championship Game 57 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: next week. Did you ever think you'd hear yourself say that? Yeah, 58 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: and we sucked the world and we have a big 59 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: part on that plane. Coming back to up next, we 60 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: look back at a defensive line that set the tone 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: for the franchise and led the team to its first 62 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: playoff win. Jacob Green, Jeff Bryant, and Joe Nash tell 63 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: their stories next on Seahawk Saturday Night.
