1
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Every Thursday from Une to two. Welcome into the Huddle

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Jake Keats, Tom Wassle, and Stacy Ross.

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna be taking a look ahead to the

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks Week five competition against the Minnesota Vikings. That'll be

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: at home Sunday night game. But first, first, we're gonna

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: take a look back and recap the win over the Dolphins.

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and get started right now. Dave Way,

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: when I watched that game, I felt like it was

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: an improvement from the defense. I know they still allowed

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: four hundred plus yards from that Miami offense, which has

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: struggled off and on through the year, but it felt

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: like an improvement. Now, you're a former defensive player, you

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: know how to watch this game. Is that what it

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: felt like to you? Yeah? Here's I use this word

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: about about Quentin Dunbar promising. It was promising. I thought

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the things some of the things that they did. So

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I did a football one on one thing and I

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: took the very first play where kJ It was a

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: zone drop, a cover three is what it looked like

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: to me anyway, And you know, Trey's bailing to get

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: back into his deep third, and what he's relying on

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: is kJ to drop underneath the receiver that he is,

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, covering. He's not covering him. He's you know,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: he's got an area on the field. But in the meantime,

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, it was DeVante Parker and he had a

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: quick stop, you know, at about nine yards and it

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: was just an easy throw and catch and kJ was

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: just a little bit late getting there, and so you

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: could see kJ pat his chest like, hey, he goes

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: to Trey Flowers that that's on me. That's my bad.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: So the next series he was on the other side

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: with Shaquille and it was the same thing, same type

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: of defense where he had to push to the outside

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: receiver and he did, and he got so far down

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: field that he actually should have had an interception. That

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: was the one that hit him right in the well.

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: He had two that were right in both hands, and

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: then he had an opportunity for another one. But but

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, they did that really well. They did that

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: really well. And that's that's something that I think again

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: is promising. You can't say, oh, it was fixed, because

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: things get fixed slowly, but you know, you went from

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: five hundred yards to four seventeen or four fifteen, whatever

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: it was, And I thought, you know, if they can

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: continue to do those kinds of things, and I felt

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: like they worked hard on that, then it's going to

47
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: be an improvement. And it's an old fashioned thing. I mean,

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: it goes back years, you know where, and you're underneath

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: zone dropper. You gotta get depth, you gotta get underneath

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: those receivers and help the defensive backs out a little bit.

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: So the linebackers did that all day long. I think

52
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Cody's probably Cody and kJ are probably the best at that,

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: and then Bobby's really good at man man coverage. Bobby's

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: one of the best blitzers in the league. So you know,

55
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: they just they just took a huge step. I thought

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: that way, and again it was it was promising. But

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like four hundred and fifteen yards

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: is great, right, but it is compared to steps, right,

59
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: it's a step forward for sure. Exactly, Dave, what did

60
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: you make of the offense, Because you look at the offense,

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: there were opportunities that were mans drop balls. There's the

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: interception down the red zone, but it seemed to be

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: where if the passing offense wasn't working. Man, the running

64
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: game was there for you to change things up with

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. What did you see from the offense? Well,

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: first of all, we had DJ Dallas on yesterday and

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: his first carry was really good. I mean, he had

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: a six yard carry. I wanted to see more of him.

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: But he just has a really good understanding of how

70
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: to set up tacklers and he did a really good

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: job setting up his block from from ethan postic and

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: was able to cut back and he kept it front

73
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: side long enough to influence both the tackle and the

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: linebacker to stay front side, and then he cut it

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: back on him. So he looked good. Of course, Chris Carson.

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: I just think Chris Carson special. We've been having lots

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: of debates about you know, is he do you pay him?

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, is he worth what twelve to fifteen million dollars?

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: And I think he is, but you know, it's it's

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: all about health with him. But yeah, they got that

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: going a little bit ninety eight yards. They had one

82
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five against New England. I thought was

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. So I think this is a game where

84
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: they've got to really prove to themselves that they can

85
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: establish the run, and I think the offensive line has

86
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: been good this year. Who's somebody who's jumped out to

87
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: you as a surprise, whether it's a rookie or a

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: guy who's maybe like a David Moore who has just

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: been impressive through four games. That's a good one, Tom.

90
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: I like that. I compared him to Jermaine Curse kind of,

91
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and it's a little early for that, I get, but

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse was you know, he did it over years.

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Just a lot of big plays that he just comes

94
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: up with, and you know, and I guess the reason

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: why is just because there's been some complaints about David Moore.

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Why isn't he taken a step? And I think he's

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: taken a step this year. So you know, he had

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: he had some He's had some big games and some

99
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: really good plays. Great. I mean that toe tap catch

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: that he had, the one he had against New England

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: where he hits the pylon. I mean those are Tyler

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Lockett like place. So yeah, I thought I think probably him,

103
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: probably Dave David Moore the most surprising. He needs to

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: be more consistent, but you know, he's he's been good

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's kind of quietly, well not

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: so quiet now, you know, because now all of a

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: sudden he's getting you know, a good yard. A did

108
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: ninety five yards and I think it was the Cowboy game.

109
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: And let's I want to take a look at this

110
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: offense to Russell Wilson, this sounds weird. Had his quote

111
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: worst game of the season, still had fare touchdowns, most

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: yards of the season, passer rating well over one hundred.

113
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean, his worst game is still a really really

114
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: good game. He is playing at an unbelievable clip right now.

115
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to I know, I know we're

116
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: you know, mostly looking back at the Dolphins, but based

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: on what you've seen now over four weeks, really a

118
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: question for all of you guys, do you expect him

119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: to once again showcase that MVP caliber play against minnesot Oh.

120
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Of course we want to hear from Jake on this,

121
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: but I'm going to say that Russ took a huge

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: step back. I mean, come on, yeah, he's not what's

123
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: going on eighty six throwing an interception with some matter. Well,

124
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you're telling me he had an incompletion Jade, Yeah, what

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: is this? Well, you know, it's funny Jake and Tom

126
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: is that. Uh. There was some clip yesterday we had

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers where he was on a podcast and said,

128
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, some of my down years are people's career years. Yeah,

129
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: that's It's like Russ's down game is like what everybody

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: is striving to to have, right. It's It's truly incredible. Uh.

131
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: And and my favorite part of his performance last week

132
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: was truly when the game was on the line, and

133
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: one of the more critical drives of the game late

134
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: that was that that touchdown drive to David Moore. I

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: noticed right away that there was a difference in the

136
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: way that they were playing their tempo, and it looked

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: like they were going into some into a different kind

138
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: of package. But then you find out later that the

139
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: headset went out and Russell was calling the entire drive.

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: And so it just, you know, the cool things and

141
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the opportunities that this offense has to be able to

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: change the tempo on teams, to be able to have

143
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: enough trust and Russ to call plays at the line

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and to call good plays, effective plays. And

145
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that it's something that they can grow off of.

146
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Not saying that Russell's going to call more plays himself.

147
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: But the fact that you look at the Rams offense

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: and why they have been so unique and dynamic, well,

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: it's partly because they get to the line of scrimmage

150
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: so fast. It forces the defense to show their coverage

151
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: and then Sean McVay, almost like a college spread offense,

152
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: calls the play from there after he sees what that

153
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: picture looks like from the defense. And that's exactly what

154
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: Russell was doing with the offense. He was getting them

155
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: to the lines that he could call the plays from there,

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and so it was really impressive to see him, you know,

157
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: handle that scenario so well that it's probably my favorite

158
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: offensive moment from the game. Tommy, Oh, yeah, go ahead, Yeah.

159
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: I was just gonna ask Dave. I know he's a

160
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: big Damon Harrison fan, Um, what kind of difference do

161
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you think he'll make coming here? And how difficult is

162
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: it to change teams when you're you know, the seasons

163
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: four games in and you're just hanging around, then all

164
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there you are. Yeah. Well, I you know,

165
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: I always dreamed after my career ended that somebody would

166
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: have a hurt linebacker somewhere and I'd get called in

167
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: and you know, in the middle of the season whatever.

168
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: But um, for defensive tackles. And I make this joke

169
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: all the time to the d tackles that hey, you

170
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: either go straight, right or left. I mean, there's not

171
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: a lot of thanking down there, but there there is.

172
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: And and Damon Harrison's a really smart football player. I

173
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: don't know how big of an impact he's gonna make. Um,

174
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: it might, you know, it might help free up Jaron

175
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: Reid a little bit. But you know they've got Anthony Rush,

176
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's playing in there. Brian Monet is

177
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: snacks Harrison better than those guys. Yeah, but I mean

178
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: his career has been better. But can he, you know,

179
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: come off the street and go and get ready to

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: play and we'll see, you know. And I think Pete

181
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: he had a quote where he said, look, he's a

182
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: really smart player, but we'll see what he looks like

183
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: on the field. So I wouldn't Dave, how Dave, how

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: important is that? Yeah, the fact that you know, you

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: look at Damon Harrison and see really where his shape is.

186
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest question. Um, how how important

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: of a factor is that going to be for this

188
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: coaching staff? To make the right decision for the team

189
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: and for the player as well. Yeah, well remember when

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: they brought Paul Richardson in and they made a decision,

191
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Like after a couple of days, they're like, well, he

192
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: just wasn't in shape. He wasn't he wasn't ready. So

193
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: they'll be able to tell that right away. I mean,

194
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: and with this in this landscape now with COVID nineteen,

195
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: it's it's like you're not seeing guys, so you don't

196
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: really know until until he gets here, So that that

197
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: will be but yeah, that'll be important. But also you know,

198
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: they need to start spelling those guys a little bit more.

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line did a really good job, Solaria.

200
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: I thought that was brilliant, you know, having those guys

201
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of on you know, a rotation as far as uh,

202
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: you know, Jamarco Jones working in there, a boy, he

203
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: working in there a little bit. So I think Dwayne,

204
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, probably Dwayne and Postic were probably the only

205
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: two that didn't. I think, um, you know, sort of

206
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: cycle in and out on the offensive line. But um, yeah,

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: they need to be able to have, you know, the

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: ability to do that a little bit more with their

209
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: their defensive lineman. Those big guys, you know, they get tired. Man.

210
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's one thing running running, but when

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: you're in like a like a wrestling match with another

212
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: dude that's like three hundred and twenty pounds, that's tiring. Man.

213
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have had like a

214
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: I was wrestling one of my buddies over who was

215
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: going to pay for the pizza. This was like to

216
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: wrestle five years ago. Yeah, and it was this guy,

217
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: my buddy knew Ufaula and he was a big X player.

218
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: And after like maybe seven seconds, I was told gas.

219
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: So I mean, and I'm an old man, of course,

220
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: but I mean when you're in those kind of battles

221
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: down in the trenches and you know, taken on a

222
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: guard whatever, I mean, that's every bit as tiring as

223
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: running a forty yard sprint. So that's that's something that's

224
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: pretty important to me. I feel like we all learned

225
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more about David. Why did I have

226
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: to tell that story about wrestling over a pizza? Have

227
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: no idea? Alright, alright, alright, wrestling. We've got some Pete

228
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: Carroll sound coming up. Injury news will get you guys

229
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: all caught up next on the huddle. This is the

230
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Huddle every Thursday from noon to two on seven ten

231
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: ESPN Seattle. Welcome back to the huddle with Tom Wasstle,

232
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: Dave Wyman, Jake Heaps, and Stacy Ross getting you guys

233
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: caught up with some injury news and Pete Carroll sound

234
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: from yesterday. So let's go ahead and get started with Carol.

235
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: First thing you need to know, Seahawks added defensive tackle

236
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: Damon Snacks Harrison cut number one. Here's what Carol says.

237
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: He brings to the defense, and Damon comes to us.

238
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: He's a he's a player. It's got, you know, big

239
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: character in the locker room. Um. His attitude and personality

240
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: that you added the team is really special. And so

241
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: whenever we can do that, we're trying to get better

242
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: and so hopefully he'll he'll be able to add in.

243
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: Right now, I just want to just get to work

244
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: and get going once. Yeah, you know, Snacks was he

245
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: talked about his big personality. He was an overnight stock

246
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: boy at Walmart and uh, and then he left his

247
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 1: home and like Charles Louisiana for a college that he

248
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: didn't really know anything about it was William Penn University,

249
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: which he thought was in Virginia, and so him and

250
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of potential recruits to go play college football.

251
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: They pile into a van and they head to Iowa.

252
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: It's in Iowa, actually, so and he didn't know that,

253
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: and so it's a it's a great part of his story.

254
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: And I guess he has a big personality. And we

255
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: had some sound the other day from DJ Fluker when

256
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: he went against him in Detroit. Yeah, and he said, yeah,

257
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm like three four day. I look over at him,

258
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: he's like three sixty and we look at each other

259
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: and we're like, Okay, it's gonna be a long day today.

260
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: With there's no doubt. I actually had a chance to

261
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: be teammates with Damon Harrison when I was in New

262
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: York in twenty fifteen, and he is a huge personality.

263
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that you know, there's some

264
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: guys like Luke Wilson who are just just funny. They

265
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: they bring, uh you know, Luke's a little crazy. Uh

266
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: So he brings this just fun energy every single day.

267
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what Snacks is. And one of

268
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: the other things that Snacks does bring to the table.

269
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: You talk about humble beginnings, Dave. You know, Snacks Harrison

270
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: loves the game. He appreciates the game because he was

271
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: in a position where he wasn't a high, you know,

272
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: drafted guy. He was an undrafted free agent who worked

273
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: his way into the role, into into you being one

274
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: of the best defensive tackles in the game. And so

275
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: he brings a different perspective than anybody else, which I

276
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: thought was really cool because at that time when I

277
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: was in that locker room, he was an established player.

278
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: This was, you know, his third or fourth year with

279
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: New York and you know, just his approach to the

280
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: game was really refreshing from what you see from other

281
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: guys from around the league. So he's definitely somebody that

282
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: will bring that presence. But more than anything else too,

283
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: from a playing standpoint, you know, deveut looted the fact

284
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: that he is going to help He's gonna help keep

285
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: guys fresh. I mean, Jared Reid was playing an insane

286
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: number of snaps. Percentage of snaps, Puna Ford, Brian Money.

287
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: You know, no nothing against Rush, but I think you

288
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: upgrade at the position, But then you also help these

289
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: other guys help them, you know, spell themselves so that

290
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: they can keep themselves fresh, keep themselves at their best.

291
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: And that's where you don't want Jared Reid playing seventy

292
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: five percent snaps. You want him, you know, playing a

293
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: lesser percent so that when he comes in he is

294
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: ready to roll and ready to make as big an

295
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: impact as he possibly can. He's got to be fired

296
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: up to about the possibility of playing on a Super

297
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: Bowl team. I mean, he's thirty one, He's only played

298
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: in one playoff game. It was that one good year

299
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: that Giants had where they went to Green Bay loss.

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: But other than that, he's played on some pretty mediocre

301
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: to bad teams. I mean, remember the whole thing with

302
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Detroit were he was like gaining weight on purpose or whatever.

303
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he when he realized when he came here,

304
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: realized it was going to be the Seahawks with Pete

305
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Carroll and John Schneedder convincing him to come, He's probably thinking, man,

306
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: this is what an opportunity I had to finally go

307
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: out there and get a ring. Now, the question that

308
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: obviously follows this is when we all have one fans have,

309
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: and that's when and whether we're going to see him

310
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: this Sunday night against the Vikings Cut number two. Here's

311
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: what Carol had to say, what's the chance of what's

312
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: the realistic chance of Harrison can play Sunday night? Let

313
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: me have see him on the practice field first. I

314
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: don't know, like I see what he looks like running

315
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: around learning the defense. He'll be fine there, He'll he's

316
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: a really smart football player. That's not going to be

317
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: a problem. It's just how how fit he is and

318
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: all that. And he's a big man, you know, so

319
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: we gonna see what he looks like. Yeah, you know what,

320
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: eighty five percent for Jaron Reid in the first game,

321
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: eighty six percent of the snaps in the second game,

322
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: and that's just too much. So, yeah, they gotta they

323
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: gotta get him in there. Hopefully he's in good shape.

324
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: But like you know, we talked about this earlier. They

325
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: have to get him, get him out on the field.

326
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's it's more of a crapshoot,

327
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: uh these days, you know, as you don't really know

328
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: what a guy's work ethic is going to be like

329
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: when he's away from you know, a facility or away

330
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: from a team. Yeah, that's gonna be the most telling thing.

331
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, the Seahawks are

332
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: not going to put Damon Harrison in a bad position.

333
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: They're not gonna put the team in a bad position.

334
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna panic if he doesn't play. It

335
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: would just be unfortunate. Now the kind of a look

336
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: ahead to the Vikings, Pete Carroll also said that basically,

337
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: don't let the Vikings record fool you. They got their

338
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: first win the other week. He also said in cut

339
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: number three, though they're dangerous, the Vikings have had a

340
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: very difficult schedule. Um, they played really good clubs and

341
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: they played really good last week. They've got great scheme.

342
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: You know, coach Zimmer does a terrific job. Just the

343
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: whole football team has got a whole style about him.

344
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: They run the football hard and tough, and they played

345
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: good defense, are good on teams, and they've been really

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: explosive in the passing game with the receivers. They are terrific.

347
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: So we've got a real challenge for us. They know Wes,

348
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: we know them. There's a lot of commonality in that

349
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: and so hopefully we can put together another good week

350
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: and come out firing here back home. I like their personnel.

351
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean Adam Feeling, Justin Jefferson, the first round draft

352
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: choice out of LSU, and we all know Kirk Cousins.

353
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a year where he was seventy

354
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: percent completion and you know that's something I think only

355
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has done. So he can be dangerous. He

356
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: just he was inaccurate in those first few games. But yeah,

357
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: and then I like some of the players on their defense.

358
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith has always been one of my favorites. He

359
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: got kicked out of the game the other day because

360
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: he had his helmet accidentally hit somebody in the helmet,

361
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: which I won't comment on. But but yeah, I mean

362
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks really good linebacker, and you know, um Eric

363
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Wilson the other guy. So they've got some personnel. I

364
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: just you know, you get start getting, you know, further

365
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: into the into the analysis of these opponents, and you

366
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: see that you know it's they've got a bunch of ballers.

367
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they don't their record doesn't reflect it.

368
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: But every team's dangerous. And you know, if you thought

369
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: last week that the Dolphins had some potential, uh, this

370
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: team most definitely does. With the personnel that they have.

371
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: There's no question they are. They are a scary unit. Offensively,

372
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: they can spark at any moment. Uh, They're a team

373
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: that can be well balanced, and then defensively. It's shocking

374
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: because when I looked at the team stats, I mean,

375
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: this is a group that is amongst the best in

376
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: football every single year. Yet for this season in twenty twenty,

377
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: they are one of the worst. And I think that

378
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: part of that is just working through a lot of

379
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: newness that they have. They've very young on the corners.

380
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: In the middle of their defense, they're pretty good with

381
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: the two linebackers and two safeties, but everybody outside of

382
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: that is new for the Minnesota Vikings, and I think

383
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: that's the reason why you've seen them struggle so much.

384
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: And we'll see if they're if they can turn things around,

385
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully for the seahawks sake, they don't and the

386
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense is still able to capitalize on a lot

387
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: of that newness. Yeah, just one quick thing before we

388
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: run here. We get bogged down sometimes in the amount

389
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: of yards that the Seahawks give up, and I try

390
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: to caution us against that. I mean, I should take

391
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: my own advice, but the Minnesota's given up a ton

392
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: of yards too. They're given up a ton of points,

393
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: but passing yards, rushyards, well, actually it's not great game

394
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: to game. They give up a lot of rush yards too.

395
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: I think Seattle's offense should be able to score on

396
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: these guys pretty easily. But as Dave always says, everybody

397
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL is good, it's hard to win a game. Well,

398
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: let's take a closer look at the Vikings with our

399
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: O preview. Sideline analyst Greg Coleman joins us next on

400
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: the huddle. This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon

401
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: to two on seven ten ESPN Seattle. Welcome back to

402
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jake Peaks, Tom Wastle, and

403
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Stacy rosst We are waiting on sideline analyst Greg Coleman.

404
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: We're getting him connected here in just a minute. In

405
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: the meantime, Jake, I have a really quick question before

406
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: we get Greg on the line, where we just need

407
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: to know. You know, Kirk Cousins. It looks like he's

408
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: having an off your Vikings one win, But what have

409
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: you seen from him that sometimes we take for granted

410
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: of the idea that the normal idea that, Hey, it

411
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: takes some time for offenses to get in a rhythm,

412
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: and you lose a player like Stefon Diggs and you

413
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: insert a very talented one in Justin Jefferson, and that's

414
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: been a smooth transition for the most part. But overall,

415
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: I think with this offense, it is with Kirk Cousins

416
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: think he's always dangerous. I think this last game he

417
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: really showed that he can play at a high level.

418
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: And you know, Kirk, this is two seasons now where

419
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: he has kind of struggled at the beginning and then

420
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: and then gets hot around this time. All right, joining

421
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: us now sideline analyst Greg Coleman, Greg, I have a

422
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: very similar question Minnesota Vikings. I've always seen them as

423
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: just a kind of perennial contender in the NFC. They've

424
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: always got, you know, a pretty strong unit on either

425
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: side of the ball. What have you seen from him

426
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: this year because so far their record has been, um,

427
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: I guess, a bit underwhelming. Well, Stacy, let's face it,

428
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the team has not played well from a consistent standpoint.

429
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: They've got great players at all of the skill positions,

430
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: and if you look around the league, change is inevitable.

431
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: You cannot lose seven people off of your starting defense

432
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: or who had a major part in your defense in

433
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: acted to be the same. Then you lose the Neil

434
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Hunter All Pro defensive end who's on injured reserve right now.

435
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: There is no way on God's green Earth. And I

436
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: don't care where you draft a kid in the draft

437
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: and you put him on the field. The one thing

438
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: that stands out that's in front or behind his name

439
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: is rookie in d Y and Jake knows exactly what

440
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You know, rookies are rookies for a

441
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: reason because they're gonna make mistakes. Sometimes the game is

442
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: too big for him. It takes them a while to

443
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: adjust and adapt and execute. The game is so fast.

444
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of young people on defense

445
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna have to live through it. And

446
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: hopefully when guys like Xavier Rhodes and Trey Wayne's and

447
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: McKenzie Alexander, you know, Everson Griffin and all of those

448
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: guys were with our team as rookies, they had to

449
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: go through a similar learning curve and it's no different now. Yeah, Greg,

450
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: radio partner Steve Rabel always says, you can always tell

451
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: a rookie, you just can't tell him much. So uh yeah,

452
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: that's but no, I mean I'm the same way. I

453
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: just feel like, hey, if a rookie plays well, great,

454
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: that's gravy. I mean you just you can't expect too much.

455
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: And uh and that's that's always going to be. You know,

456
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: every once in a while you get a DK metcalf.

457
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you Greg about Unique and

458
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: Gockway because you know, he made kind of a stink there.

459
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: I've always known him to be. I don't know him,

460
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: but I mean he seems like a good guy and everything.

461
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: He just really wanted out of Jacksonville. But uh what

462
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: what what kind of guy is he? And it looks

463
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: like it's working out three sacks. You know, he's been

464
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: everything that we expected him to be. You know, sometimes

465
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: a change of scenery does a guy well. I mean,

466
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: let's let's face it. Back in the day when when

467
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: a mad Rassat was at Saint Louis and then Seattle

468
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: came to Minnesota, Uh, you know, had an all pro career,

469
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: So sometimes that happens. And with Unique, uh he just

470
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: needed a change of scene. I mean he's not the

471
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: only one all Proklias Campbell was a fixture there in Jacksonville.

472
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's it's a locker room, it's the surrounding,

473
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: it's coaches. Sometimes things just happen and you need a

474
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: change of scenery. And he's been everything that we have

475
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: asked doing everything we've asked him to do. He studies

476
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: his crab, he's in his playbook, film session and really

477
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: under the tutelage of offensive coordinating defensive line coach Andre Patterson.

478
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: You've seen the improvement week after week. He came in

479
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: on the fly, you know, like a show fire hykering,

480
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, just studying his playbook and trying to get

481
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: accustomed to this defense. And so far, so good. And

482
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: if the last two weeks are any indication on the

483
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: talent of this kid, he's going to be okay. Now, Greg,

484
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: One of the things that you look at with this

485
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: offense is how they are actually very much centered around

486
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: centered around the running game, and that Kirk Cousins is

487
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: more of the game manager. He can be a playmaker

488
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: with the with Adam Feeling and Justin Jefferson. But how

489
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: much has this offense centered around Dalvin Cook And how

490
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: much do you expect Kirk Cousins to continue to grow

491
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: off of his performance that he had this last week. Listen, guys,

492
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is a straw that stirs the drink. Okay, yeah,

493
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: you've got Adam feeling JJ is coming to his own.

494
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: You got Irv Smith Junior and tight end along with

495
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph. But Dalvin Cook is the cat's me out.

496
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: As Dalvin goes, so does this offense because it opens

497
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: up everything and day. You know this when when you

498
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: banking that ball on the inside and he can get

499
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: off tackle, You've got to respect the run. And that's

500
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: when Kirk is that it's best when you have a

501
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: defense that puts on the brakes for just a minute. Oh,

502
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, is this a run? No? Is it play action?

503
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: That's all you need is a moment, and Kirk has

504
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: had some of those moments over the last week or so,

505
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: especially last week, and you saw the results of it.

506
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: And you talk about Justin Jefferson. Now, this is one

507
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: kid that doesn't know that he's a rookie. He doesn't care.

508
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: He's a diva just like all other wide receivers. And

509
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: he's just a special kid with a special talent and

510
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: a hunger to grow and be better and do what's

511
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: best for the football team. He is Greg Coleman, sideline

512
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: analyst for the Minnesota Vikings Radio network. Go give him

513
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: a follow at Greg Coleman eight if you aren't already.

514
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: Always good stuff, Greg, thank you so much for joining

515
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: us today. All right, Stacy, and good luck to you

516
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: with those three knuckleheads. Thank you, yeah, Greg, Thanks buddy,

517
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You guys. When Greg told us listen up

518
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: on Dalvin Cook, I think I literally leaned in to

519
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: my Mike. I mean, is he really Dave the guy that's, like,

520
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: you know, make or break this game. This is the

521
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: guy Seahawks fans are keeping their eye on. He's a

522
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: fantastic player, he really is. You know, I've not seen

523
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: anybody get out of trouble better than him since Marshawn Lynch.

524
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, plays are breaking down and he always finds

525
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: a way to turn it into positive yardage. And you're right, Jake,

526
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: I mean, one hundred and thirteen attempts running and one

527
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: hundred passing. It's it's pretty much all about Dalvin Cook.

528
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: And yeah, they've got some good receivers. I like their

529
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: tight ends. I mean Irf Smith is not even the

530
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: starting tight end, and you know, Kyle Rudolph's a really

531
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: good one. So yeah, they've got tons of talent. And

532
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm talking myself into a loss right now,

533
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: but we're not going to lose this game. But you know,

534
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you start looking I know, but yeah,

535
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. But the thing is it matches up well

536
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks because they have been good against the

537
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: run and I know that people are well, they don't

538
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: have people don't have to run on them, and we've

539
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: had leads and things like that. But still I've seen

540
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: a lot to like in the run defense. But they're

541
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to because Dalvin Cook is really special. Now

542
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: looking at this defensive line two is important because we're

543
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Seahawks oh line, the developments

544
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: along there, rookie Damian Lewis, who, by the way, is

545
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: coming up later in the show, so we'll talk about

546
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: all of that when we go in the trenches with

547
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. Next on the Huddle. This is the Huddle

548
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: every Thursday from noon to two on seven ten ESPN Seattle.

549
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: All Right, welcome back to the Huddle with Dave Wyman,

550
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: Tom Wasastle, Jake Heats, and Stacy Ross getting you guys

551
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: ready for the Seahawks Week five match up against the

552
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. We're gonna have Ray Roberts joining us for

553
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: in the trenches in just a moment before we get

554
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: to Ray, though, Dave, I gotta call you out. Oh,

555
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. What do you and Greg Coleman

556
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: making fun of rookies? You know. First thing you gotta

557
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: know is we're gonna have a rookie on the show

558
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: later today on the huddle. We're gonna welcome Uguamati and

559
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: Damie or Uguamatti and Damian Lewis coming up here at

560
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: one forty. Well, Damien scares me. I was gonna say,

561
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say anything. Gotta be a little careful about

562
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis is a big dude man. He can bench

563
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: what was it he said he could bench Tom six fifty? No, yes,

564
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: Tom squat six fifty. He can squat siunds. What have

565
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: you seen from him so far? He's he looks really good.

566
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's he had a typical rookie first game.

567
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: But I mean again, that's Rabels quote. By the way,

568
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: so you can give rabel a hard time that you

569
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: can always tell a rookie. But no, I never expect

570
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: anything from rookies. I just think, you know, and I

571
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: don't even that mentality. Yeah, I mean, well, if they're

572
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: top fifteen, yeah, if you're a top fifteen pick, yeah

573
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: yeah in the first round. Yeah. But I mean if

574
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: you're a light you know, draft choice, I just I

575
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's just difficult. And I'm just going based

576
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: on my own experience. You know, I had the same

577
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: type of year as LJ. Callier did. I was a

578
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: second round pick, but still I had like three assist

579
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: tackles like which basically means I jumped on a pile

580
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: you know that was already there. So I mean, and

581
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: I played in like four or five games. I came

582
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: back my next year and everything was clicking. I could

583
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: see it, I could read it. I was like just

584
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: going out and playing football again and it. You know,

585
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: when a guy comes in is able to play his

586
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: rookie year play well. And by the way, for all

587
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: the old Seahawk fans, the bos did play well his

588
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: rookie year. He actually did have it, and everybody calls

589
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: him a bust, but he did have. He did have

590
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: a good rookie year, but it's rare. You know, another

591
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: guy I'll mentioned, we had him on our show yesterday,

592
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: Lofa Tatupu, was amazing, amazing his rookie year. His knowledge

593
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: of the game really was more what it was about

594
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: than anything else. But just yeah, it's very rare though.

595
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: And last year we had DK Metcalf. So two different

596
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: guys there, LJ call your DK Metcalf drafted different in

597
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: different spots. But some get it right away and are

598
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: able to make contributions. But I feel like most just aren't.

599
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: What do you think of different? I mean, you mentioned

600
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: if you're a top fifteen pick or you're you know,

601
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: you're just that talented. DK Metcalf wasn't a top fifteen pick,

602
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: but he's probably just that talented. But you know what, Dave,

603
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: he's also got a good head on his shoulders. I

604
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: think Alton Robinson and Damian Lewis they both have good

605
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: heads on their shoulders. Like the rookies that succeed seem

606
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: to have that commonality. Is it just a question of

607
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: where you are in your maturation. Well, it's certainly matters

608
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: to be mature, but you know I had a good

609
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: head on my shoulders and I still couldn't I couldn't

610
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: get it. You know, it was well, I'm not bragging

611
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: about myself like, but I was grounded and I was

612
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: I was still in a story the other day about

613
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: my rookie year and how the Vets liked me because

614
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, I had a crummy old truck that I

615
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: would drive and I didn't think I did. I was quiet.

616
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything stuff like that, but you know,

617
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: it's um, it's just, but it certainly helps Tom to

618
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: your point. I mean, I've never seen I think more

619
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: mature rookie than DK Metcalf and I think a lot

620
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: of that's because his family members. You know, he has

621
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: some NFL kind of like Tyler Lockett. He has some

622
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: NFL in his blood. So that was the reason why

623
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: joining us right now for in the trenches. His weekly

624
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: segment on the huddle is former alignman himself, Ray Roberts. Ray,

625
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: how are you I'm doing good? How are you guys

626
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: doing good? Keeping yourself day? Ray? I want to ask

627
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,239
Speaker 1: you if did you have a good head on your

628
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: shoulders your rookie year, or how was your rookie or

629
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: did it feel a lot better coming back the second year,

630
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: or how would you describe your rookie year? The second

631
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: year was a huge difference my rookie year. I felt

632
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: like it was probably the end of the season before

633
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: I could realize what the hell I was doing most

634
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: of the time, because there was so much adjustment to make,

635
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: and then just you know, playing against dudes that are

636
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: the best of the best of the best. So I

637
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: heard what you said about DK and his maturity, and

638
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. Like, I've never been around a

639
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: rookie that hit the ground the way he hit the

640
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: ground running and just working with Russ and putting in

641
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: the time and making himself better the way he'd handled

642
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: dropping the past, like all those different kinds of things.

643
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: That was something I never anticipated saying out of him,

644
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: and it has made the world of difference for his

645
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: career so far. Now. Ray something that we saw that

646
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: was really interesting with this offensive line coaching decisions versus

647
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins was that they were trying to get

648
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: a rotation going in on the offensive line, something you

649
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: don't typically see. I mean, they got in with Jamarco Jones,

650
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: they got in Jordan Simmons, they got in Cedrica. Boy,

651
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: he what did you make of that move that this

652
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff made to try and to try and rotate

653
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: these guys, And it sounds like it's something that they

654
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: want to try and do throughout the year. But the

655
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: first thing I'll say is, I hope they haven't been

656
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: consulting with Mike Salt, because Mike Salt brought up this

657
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: idea rotating offensive lineman based on if as a runner

658
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: a pass and who passed block better, who running black better?

659
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: So I hope they haven't been talking to talk about

660
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: that because that idea is not a good one. But

661
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: what they're doing right now and I just noticed. I

662
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: thought maybe someone was hurt and that's why they started rotating,

663
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: But as a game went on, you could see that

664
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: it was something they were doing intentionally. And I think

665
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: it's an awesome way to get dudes acclimated to the offense,

666
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: get them in rhythm with the people around them, get

667
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: them plan time with real you know, with real meaningful plays.

668
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: And I think the way that they have crafted this

669
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: offensive line was veteran, mostly veteran players that have plan experience.

670
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of easier, so you wouldn't be

671
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: doing that if you're rotating three, you know Damian Lewis

672
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: is in, but but you're rotating in some veteran players

673
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: that has had some really good plan time and meaningful

674
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: plan time, and so this kind of keeps everybody on

675
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: the ready. And then the other thing I like about

676
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: it is that it makes you pay a little bit

677
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: more attention in the meeting rooms, and it makes you

678
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: pay a little bit more attention, you know, in practice

679
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: and you're trying to get your reps perfect because you

680
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: know that your number could be called in that rotation

681
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: to get some reps. So I think it's a really

682
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: cool way to take advantage of this moment in this

683
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: season and how to all seasons going to prepare your

684
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: offensive line for what you may need down the road. Yeah,

685
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: ray I, I love your answer. There one thing that

686
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: came up with that, and I'd love to hear your

687
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: thoughts on this in terms of how to balance out

688
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: when and where to make those type of decisions, because

689
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: it backfired on them a little bit when the game

690
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: was on the line. It's ten to six, I think

691
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: is the second quarter, they're driving down the red zone.

692
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: They go for run fourth and three, and the way

693
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: he gets beat off the edge when you're you're starting

694
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: right tackle that you've paid four million dollars plus you know,

695
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines. You know, so those those moments

696
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily great. Is it just one of those things

697
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: where you just can't anticipate it when you put a

698
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: guy in on a drive, he's in for the drive?

699
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: Or how do you how do you manage that? Well?

700
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: I think I was thinking about the same exact player

701
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: you were thinking about, and uh, and I was thinking

702
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: to myself, like, man, like that didn't quite work out right,

703
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: Like you you probably want someone you know you started

704
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: in there, but given what they were doing in the

705
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: success they've had, Like, um, I think that uh trying

706
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: to I don't think you go into the game and

707
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: you go like, oh, in this quarter, we're gonna put

708
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: in these players for this drive or what have you.

709
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: I think you may have that in the back of

710
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: your mind, but then you're just kind of playing it

711
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: by how you feel the game going. And uh, you

712
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: know this is totally totally different. But when I was

713
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: when I put high school football, I always wanted to

714
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: make sure that I backed up offensive lineman DeFi the

715
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: lineman got at least a couple reps in the first

716
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: half and the second half, and so so I was

717
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: just kind of played by ear and just try to

718
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: get them in before the before the half ended. But

719
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: there was no real particular time I was thinking about

720
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: put them in. It just kind of I just played

721
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: it by how I felt it. And so I think

722
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: that they probably go into it with a game plan

723
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: saying like, Hey, on the third drive, we're gonna put

724
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: in the group this group will dude, just so that

725
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: they can be prepared for it. But I think as

726
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: a game goes on, they probably adjusted and just played

727
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: by air in that situation. I just think it, you know,

728
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: just with this new uh aggressive style of offense we're

729
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: planned that he just got caught up in that situation

730
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: and had a bad set, like he his his initial

731
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: set was good, but then he stopped his feet when

732
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: the guy slapped his hands and went to the corner,

733
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 1: and then I got to show his turn too soon.

734
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: So I think they probably trust him in those situations,

735
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: and I and I think that they probably start out

736
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: the game saying like, hey, we're gonna put him in

737
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: on this drive or that drive, but then they let

738
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 1: the game dictate when they go in. Ray, it's good

739
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: to talk to you as always. How are you, by

740
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: the way, We didn't talk to you in quite a while, wife,

741
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: You know I haven't. I haven't talk to you in

742
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: a minute either, I know, go for coffee this weekend

743
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: or something. Hey, let's do it, Like, yeah, I'll do it.

744
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm not joking around, U. Ray. Holding penalties, specifically on

745
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line, are way way down this year, apparently

746
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: because of a directive that the officials received. First of all,

747
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: are you noticing that? Um? And secondly, how much do

748
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: you think that that's changing offense and helping offense in

749
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: this league? But I wouldn't say that is changing or

750
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: helping because I mean, honestly, you hold on every single play,

751
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ray. Finally you admit it. So whether they're

752
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: flagging it or not, it is. It has been happening

753
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: forever and uh and so like we always used to

754
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: say that that's why, you know, God gave us these

755
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: stumps so we can grab stuff, and so if you

756
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: can grab some off you grab cloth. I don't think

757
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: that it's that is changing the game, just because it's

758
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: just kind of how has always been. I'm sure some

759
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: defensive ends and defensive linement a little bit frustrated if

760
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: they can't, like quite get off a block to defend

761
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: a pass rush or something like that. But um, I don't.

762
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that them. I think them the referees

763
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: getting out of the way a little bit and just

764
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: letting guys play a little bit is better for the

765
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: game than them being more involved in it. So so

766
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to always be in support of our offensive

767
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: lineman being able to hold legally if you want to

768
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: call it that a little bit more. But I don't

769
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: think it changes the game. The game is defensive lineman,

770
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 1: offensive linement have always dealt with this, and so it's

771
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: just for them calling it less. I don't think it

772
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: makes that big a difference. Yeah, my coach taught my

773
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: first coach, Tom Katlin. You remember top Cat. I think

774
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: Ray He said, don't ever come to me after a

775
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: play and tell me you were helped because holding is

776
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: legal in the NFL. And by the way, Ray, you

777
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: mentioned coaching high school football. We're old men, but when

778
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: we're really old men, we got a coach together again.

779
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that so much, especially especially at Interlake. We

780
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: had so much fun and I missed that. Yeah, great kids. Absolutely. Yeah.

781
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: So if if we get old, old, grumpy old men

782
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: and want to get back into coaching, I'm I'm on for.

783
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,479
Speaker 1: We just got to find the right the right place

784
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: with the right kids. But uh, but but no, that

785
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: was that was a lot of fun. Um. The other

786
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say too, though about the offensive

787
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: line just in general, is that, um, there they are.

788
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: I didn't expect them to be planned as well as

789
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: their plan right now. They started out a little faster

790
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: than I thought. I thought it'd be halfway through, like

791
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: the second set of four games, when they really kind

792
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: of hit their stride. But if you even look at

793
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: like the Pro Football Focus grading, uh, most of the

794
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: guys are kind of in the middle of the pack,

795
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: which last year most of the guys are at the

796
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: bottom if you weren't named Dwayne Brown and uh. And

797
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: so the guys are doing a really good job of

798
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: getting better each week, getting more in sync each week,

799
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: being more effective each week. Uh. Pass protection is much

800
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: better each week. The thing that I would hope that

801
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: the often would do is I don't want to say

802
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: balance with the running game, because then people think you

803
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: have to go fifty fifty. I would say, more synergy

804
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: with the run game, so it doesn't feel like the

805
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: two things are disconnected. Right now. It feels like there's

806
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: Russell in the passing game and then oh, that's this

807
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: other thing we do sometimes we hand the ball off,

808
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 1: and so I think later on down the road, it'll

809
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: be better if there's more synergy with the run game

810
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: and the pass game. So I don't I don't don't

811
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: want to use the balance same because then people think

812
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: like you have to throw the ball thirty times and

813
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: run it thirty times. Well, sometimes the synergy is, you know,

814
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: thirty twenty, or you run the ball thirty times and

815
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: throw it twenty times. But whatever that synergy is to

816
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: create like a complete offense, I think is what I

817
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: think the Seahawks need to move towards that. Towards that place.

818
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: Good stuff as always from Ray Roberts. You can hear

819
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: him on the Seahawks pre and postgame show and on

820
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: the huddle with us every single week. Give him a

821
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: follow two at Big Ray Roberts. He's always got good

822
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: stuff to say about this offense, of line and the

823
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks team in general. Always excellent analysis. Ray, Thank you

824
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: so much, oh, thank you for having you guys. Have

825
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: a good one, you too, all right? The Voice of

826
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, joins us next. This is the

827
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: Huddle to Choose. Welcome back into the huddle with Dave Wyman,

828
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: Tom Wasastle, Jake Eats, and Stacy Ross joining us right now.

829
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel rabes, how are you.

830
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: I'm good kid. How are we doing today? We are good.

831
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: Before I get started on anything, I have to tell

832
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: you Dave was, as usual giving you a pretty hard

833
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: time this one about your opinion on rookies. Although I

834
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: think Dave secretly agrees with you. I have to warn

835
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: both of you that rookie guard Damian Lewis is joining

836
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: in the show later this hour, So choose your words carefully.

837
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: But what if you some rookies who are more equal

838
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: than others, and if you can come in and start

839
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: from day one hunt as a rookie. I'm all for it.

840
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about a couple bull rookies

841
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: with you. I know that Damian Lewis has had a

842
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: good start. Freddie Swain has also impressed me. I know

843
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 1: Tom has pointed to him as maybe his biggest surprise

844
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: just with those two guys in particular, what have you

845
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: seen from him? Well, just exactly what you guys have seen.

846
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: They've First of all, they've they've picked up the system quickly.

847
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,839
Speaker 1: That's usually one of the more difficult parts of being

848
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: a rookie. I mean, physically, all these guys deserve to

849
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: be here, there's no question about it. It's just how

850
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: quickly can they understand the system that teams use. And

851
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: while there is a lot of overlap among teams in

852
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League, some are you know, the language

853
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: tends to be considerably different, and especially if you were

854
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: with a program. You know, that's why they sometimes talk

855
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks who were program quarterbacks who came out of

856
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: a system that was almost a shoot and run. You

857
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: never go to the huddle. You're looking over to the

858
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: sidelines and they hold up a picture of I don't know,

859
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: pick somebody Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it means an entire series

860
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: of plays, and you know, you don't do that in

861
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So so getting up to speed

862
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: that way tends to be the more difficult part of

863
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: the equation. That said, these guys obviously have learned what

864
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: they need to learn. They fit in in the locker room.

865
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: They fit in, they probably and Dave will probably mention

866
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: this as well. You know, rookies are best left unheard.

867
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean you've listened, you watch, you learn, and only

868
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: after you start to pick it up and understand and

869
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: have maybe a little bit of playing time under your belt,

870
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: can you actually actively be involved in conversations. Now that

871
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: might be a little old school, but that's the way

872
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: I was taught. That's the way the veterans kind of

873
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: treated us. Hey, keep your ideas to yourself until you're

874
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: until you're really ready to play. I gotta say I

875
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: was quiet because I was terrified most of the time.

876
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I just said to Greg Coleman, because

877
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: Greg Coleman, the sideline analyst for the Vikings, was saying,

878
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, hey, he is the same attitude that I

879
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: have about rookies is that you look, if they play well, great,

880
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's fantastic. I mean, it's a bonus to me.

881
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: And unless you're like a top ten, top fifteen pick,

882
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but yeah, and every once in a

883
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: while you get a DK Metcalf that just comes in

884
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: and you know, and Tom mentioned it really helps if

885
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: they have you know, they know they've got a good personality.

886
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, they know where they fit and things like that.

887
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: But I gave them your quote about you can always

888
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: tell a rookie, you just can't tell them much. And

889
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: I was trying to get Stacy to say, Rabel, why

890
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: do you hate rookies? But well, and of course I don't.

891
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: But you know what's ironic in all this is who who?

892
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: What coach comes to mind right off the top of

893
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: your head, who seems to be able to integrate rookies

894
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: right into a starting lineup and let them play. What

895
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: what coach do you think does that? Let's see, I'm

896
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: gonna go local Pete, Pete Carroll. Yeah, I'd say, you're

897
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: absolutely right. What's really interesting about all this is Pete

898
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: Carroll's star did his professional coaching career under Budd Grant

899
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and Bud Grant was notorious for saying rookies

900
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: should be seen and not heard. You can't really expect

901
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: them to join you to play for the first year

902
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: or two, let him sit, let them learn. I mean,

903
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: he thought that rookies were a hindrance. Actually, you know,

904
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: I'm put mores in his mouth. Here. But then and

905
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: then Jack Potera sort of brought that to the Seahawks,

906
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: with the exception of a few players. When you got

907
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: a Jacob Green in the first round, when you got

908
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: to Kenny Easily in the first round, those guys came

909
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: out of college ready to play and ready to contribute.

910
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: So they did. But I just always thought that that

911
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: was interesting that Pete developed this system in large measure

912
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: because he coached at the college level and he knew

913
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: at that level, you know, the talent is much more

914
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 1: bunched together whether you're a freshman or a senior, and

915
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: he needed those young guys because sometimes those older guys

916
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: would leave before their senior year. So I just thought

917
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: that was ironic. I told that in there just for

918
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,479
Speaker 1: people who are driving down the freeway saying, wow, Rape,

919
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: you said something interesting for a change. Yeah, geez, that

920
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: was refreshing. Yeah, it's nice to change things up a

921
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: bit here, Rapes. But when we look at we look

922
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: at this game and you're, you know, starting to do

923
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: your scouting report, you're starting to really dive into what

924
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings bring to the table, and you know

925
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: kind of strengths and weaknesses that they have. The one

926
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: guy that surely stands out is Dalvin Cook, and you

927
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 1: know the Seahawks have been able to do well against

928
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: him in the past, but it's always something that concerns

929
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: you're moving forward. Yeah, and kind of the difference here.

930
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: Remember when we went into Let's use last year as

931
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: an example, going into that Monday night game against Minnesota,

932
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook was again, he's one of the keys.

933
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: You got to figure out how to stop that guy,

934
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: and we did. I think he got twenty nine yards.

935
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: But they also didn't have Adam Feeling last year. He

936
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: was hurt. He had a hamstring injury, so he didn't play.

937
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: So they had digs and now you could focus on

938
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: and taking digs away and Okay, you got a tight

939
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: end who's pretty darn good in Kyle Rudolph, but he's

940
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: not going to beat you, I mean forever. He's not

941
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: going to be the big play guy. So those are

942
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: the kinds of things. Those are the calculations you have

943
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: to make this time around. They've got to the Vikings

944
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: do have a great rookie receiver to go along with

945
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling. Right now, they're duo of wide receivers. I

946
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: think leads the National Football League and at least yards

947
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: per catch. And while we have given up a lot

948
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: of yardage on the ground, in the air, we did

949
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: better last week against Miami. Dave. You noticed it right

950
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: away with the way the linebackers were kind of dropping

951
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper to get underneath some of those

952
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: dig routes and curl routes. But they still have Cook

953
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: and the key always for the Seahawks is to stop

954
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: him on the ground. And I think that's going to

955
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: be a big, big factor in this game on Sunday night. Yeah,

956
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: So speaking of stopping the run, how big of a

957
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: boost do you think Damon Harrison gives them bringing him

958
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: in for a week five? And you're using big in

959
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: both metaphysical metaphorical terms and in in rerealistic terms because

960
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: he is a huge man. I guess at three hundred

961
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds, and it just sets the anchor at

962
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: the defensive line. He's a pro bowler and everybody in

963
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: the league talks about him as being one of the

964
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: premier run stuffers in all of football. You've got to

965
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: have those guys. Brandon Mebane was sort of that way,

966
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: only he had some pretty quick feet, but he would

967
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: he was such a low center of gravity. Uh. And

968
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: that's one of the things we like about Puna, even

969
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: though Puna is a little bit undersized. But you got

970
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: to have that guy that can just drop his anchor

971
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: right there on the line of scrimmage, and it takes

972
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: two or three guys to move him, and then that

973
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: frees up other guys. If you can't move that guy,

974
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: if you're a guard or a center, or you can't

975
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 1: move him together in a double team, then you can't

976
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: get off to the next level and scrape off onto

977
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: a Bobby Wagon or a kJ Wright and that becomes

978
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 1: you know that, that becomes the answer for making tackles.

979
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: So that's the way the defense, as I believe Dave,

980
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 1: are drawn up in many cases. And so I think

981
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: he's going to be a big help. I just don't

982
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: know what kind of shape he's in. I'm not sure

983
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: the Seahawks know either, and so they need to see that.

984
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: So that's why he's gone to the practice squad first.

985
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: He is Seahawks play by play man Steve Rabel, legendary

986
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: voice of the Seahawks. Steve, thank you as always for

987
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: joining us. Oh my, we're done already. Great rific. I

988
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: can go live my life now of your day, Rabes,

989
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: don't lie to us. Absolutely all right, guys, thanks my pleasure.

990
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: All right, let's take you guys back to Minnesota. We're

991
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: going to take a listen to what Mike Zimmer had

992
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: to say about the Hawks. That's next on the huddle.

993
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to two

994
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: on seven ten ESPN Seattle. Welcome back to the huddle

995
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Tom Wastle, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Roskett

996
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: and you guys prepared for the Seahawks Week five game

997
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings. So we're going to take a

998
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: list the Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer. We got a

999
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: couple soundbites here we want you guys to hear help

1000
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: you get ready for the game. Let's start with cut

1001
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: number six. We didn't play very good the first two games.

1002
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: Played better against Tennessee, didn't didn't win. We played better

1003
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: again last week against Houston. But we're you know, we're

1004
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: trying to corrected the issues that we've been causing us lose.

1005
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: We've been turning the ball over, our time of possession

1006
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been very good. Given up big plays on defense,

1007
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: and so you know, we have to eliminate all those

1008
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: things before we continue to continue to win. Now, the

1009
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: Vikings got their first game, our first win last week. Dave,

1010
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 1: where have you seen them improving? Is it week over week?

1011
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: Is it you saw something different last week? I mean,

1012
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: what have you what have you seen so far? Yeah,

1013
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: I've watched the last couple of games. You know, I

1014
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: saw some Tennessee, some Packers, and then I watched Houston

1015
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: and and really, I mean it's kind of like when

1016
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: we're playing the Cowboys. They were lucky to have that

1017
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: win against Atlanta. I mean, Houston was down on they

1018
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: were like first in goal on like the four yard line,

1019
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: and they had a couple of you know, and they

1020
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: had there was a touchdown catch. I mean, they would

1021
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: have had to have scored two to come back and

1022
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: go to overtime against Minnesota, but you know, there was

1023
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: a rare kind of screw up by Watson and David

1024
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: Johnson and so yeah, I mean, but they've just executed.

1025
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to kind of explain. You look

1026
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: at Dalvin Cook. I mean, he's pretty much always balling out,

1027
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: but you know, for the rest of you know, the team.

1028
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: I feel like it's really been on Cousins. You know,

1029
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: he just hasn't been accurate. I mean, he had a

1030
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: game where I think he threw like under fifty percent

1031
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: completion percentage. And this is a guy who's capable of

1032
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: throwing seventies. So I feel like his play has been

1033
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: not great. And but he's starting to come back because

1034
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: he had a good, good week last week. Yeah, this

1035
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 1: is a It's a really interesting group from the sense

1036
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: that offensively they've got all the weapons. I mean, this

1037
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: is a group that has relatively remained intact. There's not

1038
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: a hole in their on their team offensively other than

1039
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: what Dave just outlined Kirk Cousins being so inconsistent. Kirk

1040
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: Cousins as the ability to go off and throw for

1041
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: four touchdowns at three hundred plus yards, but he also

1042
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: will throw in some serious clunker type of games in

1043
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: there as well, turning the ball over, not being accurate.

1044
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: And so really that's why they have centered everything around

1045
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook. And so it all starts with the run

1046
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: game for this team, and that's they are hyper focused

1047
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: on centering everything around the running game. And then defensively

1048
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: they started playing a lot better versus Houston. Houston has

1049
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: been struggling as a unit overall, but you look at

1050
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: what Mike Zimmers said, They've given up way too many

1051
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: big plays. And one of the other things that really

1052
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: hurt them is across the defensive line. Daniel Hunter isn't playing.

1053
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: You lost Everson Griffin, you got Unique and Goackway. You

1054
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: lost Linvall Joseph who was one of the best interior

1055
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. You sign somebody to replace him, Michael Pierce

1056
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 1: from the Ravens, and then he opts out due to COVID.

1057
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: So they are completely depleted on the interior of their

1058
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: defensive line, and they're really trying to work through those things.

1059
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: So I think that the Seahawks offense is definitely going

1060
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: to test them. But one thing guys that I will say,

1061
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: do not be surprised if Mike Zimmer defensively says, you

1062
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: know what, I Am not going to get beat by

1063
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson in this passing offense. I refuse

1064
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: to get beaten by them and try and shorten this

1065
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: game and make them try to run for two hundred

1066
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: yards on them like they did last year. It make

1067
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: them try to repeat that type of performance where they

1068
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: still beat him, what like thirty seven thirty or whatever. Yeah,

1069
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: it didn't work out for him, but it was Yeah,

1070
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: it's tough for a guy in Zimmer situation to think

1071
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: he can actually dictate the game that way. I mean,

1072
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: he can gain play and at all he wants, but

1073
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: ultimately the talent's gonna wing it to win out there.

1074
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: I just want to say one quick thing about Cousins.

1075
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he was twenty six and six last year

1076
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns to interceptions. That's pretty darn good. Um. I've always

1077
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: been confused as to why he isn't thought of as

1078
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 1: one of those elite backs. His numbers or excuse me, quarterbacks.

1079
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: His numbers are terrific. But I think it's really what

1080
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: Jake just pointy two. It's the inconsistency. Looked at his

1081
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: passer rating, like for his career. You know, there's fifty eight,

1082
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: there's forty, there's a fifty two Russell Wilson. I guess

1083
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: I'd have to pull off his numbers two. But what

1084
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: was the last time you saw him with a thirty

1085
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: passer rating? Yeah, for a game. For incidentally, his first

1086
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: games was against the Minnesota Vikings. Um, it was no,

1087
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: but it's so no. But it's so infrequent that you

1088
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: remember them. I think it was a Monday night game

1089
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: against the Minnesota Vikings. Um it's right. But yeah, Cousins

1090
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: has enough of him where you could say, all right,

1091
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: this guy's got he's terrific, he's got wonderful ability. He

1092
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: can win you a lot of games, but that Clonker

1093
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: might always just be around the corner. Yeah, remember there

1094
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: for a while too. And I want to say I

1095
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: saw today on the NFL network that he was like

1096
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: eight and fifteen on in Monday night games, you know, uh,

1097
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: primetime games, Kirk Cousins. And then also there was a

1098
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: stat last year where he was like, um, oh man,

1099
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 1: it was like four and twenty seven against winning teams

1100
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: or something like that. So yeah, he I agree with you, Tom,

1101
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: That's that's the kind of guy that he is. I mean, look,

1102
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: he had against Indie he through for forty two percent

1103
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: and through three interceptions. So yeah, he's he's very inconsistent.

1104
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: I kind of think he's the key. I feel like

1105
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's gonna be Dalvin Cook no matter what. So

1106
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 1: you definitely got to try to you know, um, and

1107
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: it'll be. You know, I'm an interesting test against this

1108
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: defensive backfield that's giving up lots of lots of yards.

1109
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean, are they able to have one of these

1110
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: or force one of these clunkers from Kirk Cousins. Well,

1111
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins already matched his interception total from last year. Obviously,

1112
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: who knows he could take off and end up with

1113
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: six or seven interceptions, but six touchdowns to six interceptions

1114
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: so far for him this year. It's certainly been a slow,

1115
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: inconsistent start for him in Minnesota. But I agree overall

1116
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: that they've got enough weapons that you're never quite sure,

1117
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook coming off back to back one hundred

1118
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: plus yard games. Justin Jefferson their rookie receiver coming off

1119
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: to one hundred plus yard games, So they can certainly

1120
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: take off. You know, one quick question here before we

1121
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: wrap this bit up. Dave is Zimmer talks about the

1122
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: inexperience on this defense. He says, that's where they suffered,

1123
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: is the inexperience for them in that secondary. I mean,

1124
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: where do they kind of lack experience right now? Yeah? Well,

1125
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: like Jake said, they got a couple of really young cores.

1126
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: You know, they're what in their second year, Jake. So

1127
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: those guys, there's a there's a rookie, there's a second

1128
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: year player, third year player, and all of them haven't

1129
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: played much because they've had Trey Wayne's and Xavier Roads there. Yeah.

1130
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: So and I like their safeties. Harrison Smith again one

1131
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: of my favorites. And I like their linebackers too. Kendricks

1132
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: is really good, you know. And I know they were

1133
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: talking about working out as brother here in Seattle, but

1134
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: Eric Kendricks led the league as far as linebackers go

1135
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: and pass breakups last year. He's got two tackles for loss.

1136
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really an active player. But yeah, that

1137
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some opportunities for Russ on the outside,

1138
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: I would think, well, and Kendricks potentially, Uh, you know

1139
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: a name we're going to be keeping an eye on

1140
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: during the week. He was out of practice on Wednesday

1141
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: with a foot injury. He seems like a tough dude.

1142
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: We'll see how he comes along, but certainly a name

1143
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: we'll all be watching coming up here. All Right, what

1144
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: are the expectations for snacks Harrison now that he's in Seattle.

1145
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next on the huddle. This is

1146
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: the Huddle Thursday from noon to two on seven ten

1147
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: ESPN Seattle. Welcome back to the Huddle with Dave Wyman,

1148
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: Jake Keeps, Tom Wasassell, and Stacy Ross to the Seahawks

1149
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: have added a new face, defensive tackle, Damon Snacks Harrison.

1150
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: Now we don't know for sure whether or not he's

1151
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: going to play this weekend and cut number two. Carol's

1152
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: asked that question, what's the chance of what's the realistic

1153
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: chance of Harrison can play Sunday night? Let me have

1154
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: see him on the practice field first. I don't know, Like,

1155
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: I see what he looks like running around learning the defense.

1156
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,479
Speaker 1: He'll be fine there, He'll He's a really smart football player.

1157
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: That's not going to be a problem. It's just how

1158
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: how fit he is and all that. He's a big man,

1159
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, So we guess, see what he looks like, Dave.

1160
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: If they can actually get Harrison through practice on the

1161
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: football field and activate him for the game against the Vikings,

1162
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: where can he make the biggest impact? I think in

1163
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: the run game? Definitely. Well that's a good question, you know,

1164
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: because again, I mean you could you might see him

1165
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: get double team. Look, he's not a pass rushing threat.

1166
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got eleven and a half sacks in

1167
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: his what eight nine year career or seven year career,

1168
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: and so you know, it's not like he's a sack machine,

1169
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: but he is going to occupy a lot of space.

1170
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: And remember Al Woods last year, I mean, he was

1171
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: just a monster in the middle of that line, and

1172
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: it really does it really does matter. So maybe it

1173
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: frees up Jar and Read a little bit to rush

1174
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the passer or make more plays whatever. But you know,

1175
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: I think he's you know, he's as big as Anthony

1176
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Rush and Brian Money, but I just think he's a

1177
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: little bit more talented than those guys. So but I

1178
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: don't think he's, you know, the best defensive linemen in

1179
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: the world and is going to come in here and

1180
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: just entirely turn this whole thing around. I just think

1181
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: it will make them better, you know, and more opportunities.

1182
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: And I think their best d lineman is Benson Mayowa.

1183
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: If you go back and look, he's made lots of plays,

1184
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: including he caused both of those interceptions the other day.

1185
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: One he hit the ball and the other one he

1186
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: because of his pass rush. Then I missed that on

1187
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 1: the second one. Fitzpatrick. Yeah, Fitzpatrick hurried his throw and

1188
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Shaquille picked it off. So yeah, it's I think it's

1189
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, a good positive thing. We'll see

1190
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: if he's in shape, though, that's a that's the big mystery,

1191
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: like we were talking about earlier with guys, you know,

1192
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: not really being able to get your hands on him

1193
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 1: because of because of COVID and everything. Then, uh, you know,

1194
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of a it's kind of a crapshoot as

1195
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: to what kind of shape they're in, right, And that's

1196
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: gonna be the big big question here because if he

1197
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 1: is in shape, him coming to this organization, it just

1198
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 1: revitalizes guys. You don't really know what you're getting yourself into.

1199
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you know, Damon Harrison kind of had

1200
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: an idea, but he doesn't really know what it's gonna

1201
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: be like until the moment he walked into that building

1202
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and the moment he entered the first team meeting, I

1203
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: promise you he probably sat there and said, you gotta

1204
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: be kidding me this, Like, these guys have it great.

1205
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: From all my other experiences, especially coming from Matt Patricia

1206
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: to Pete Carroll in that team meeting room. I promise

1207
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: you he's gonna be re energy and excited to be

1208
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: a part of this organization. So with that being said,

1209
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: I agree with Dave that, Okay, maybe Damon doesn't come

1210
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: in here and light the world on fire. But his

1211
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: worst year as a pro, his worst year as a

1212
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: pro was last year when he was unmotivated, unhappy. He

1213
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 1: had forty nine tackles as a defensive tackle as a

1214
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: run stuff or one technique that is extremely hard to do,

1215
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: and that would have been the most He would have

1216
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: been the most productive defensive lineman amongst the group last

1217
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: year in twenty nineteen. So I think that this guy

1218
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: has still plenty in the tank, and I'm excited to

1219
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: see what he brings to this group and what kind

1220
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: of impact he will have. Because you're gonna go against

1221
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, you're gonna go against the Rams, You're

1222
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna go forty nine ers who all value the run game,

1223
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: and when you get into playoff time, you got to

1224
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: be able to be sure in that run defense, and

1225
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: that he helps with that. The Seahawk's gonna have all

1226
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: week to make this decision. He'll be able to get

1227
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: his practice in this week. Pete Carroll will have his

1228
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: final injury report on Friday. We'll give you updates there

1229
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: and then the Seahawks obviously have over the weekend up

1230
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: until the start ninety minutes before the started game to decide,

1231
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,959
Speaker 1: so plenty of time for Snacks Harrison to make his case.

1232
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next, we've got two interviews you

1233
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: do not want to miss. It's your starting nickel ugu

1234
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Amadi and starting right guard Damian Lewis. That's next on

1235
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: the huddle. This is the huddle every Thursday from noon

1236
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: to two on seven ten ESPN Seattle. Welcome back into

1237
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the huddle with Dave Wyman, Tom Wassele, Jake Keats, and

1238
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Stacy Ross. We are getting you guys ready for the

1239
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks Week five game against the Minnesota Vikings. You know,

1240
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: we've talked about the Vikings weapons that they have, Dalvin

1241
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Cook a very obvious one, receivers, Adam Feelin, Justin Johnson,

1242
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the rookie has been fantastic. So let's look at what

1243
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Seattle has on defense to try to combat this. Uguamadi,

1244
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: who we're going to speak to in just a little bit,

1245
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: you guys, has had some pretty good starts in place

1246
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: of Marquis Blair, who's done for the year, Dave, have

1247
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: you been impressed with what he's been able to do

1248
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 1: so far? Very And you know, I was watching him

1249
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: in practice and he was actually playing well. It's just

1250
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: that Marquise Blair kind of outshined him, but he really

1251
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: I always think of explosive players are players that are

1252
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: able to go from stop to go the fastest, and

1253
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: that's what I see in him. And then you know

1254
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 1: he's making some good reads too. He and I think

1255
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: it was the New England game when he had was

1256
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of pressed into action there because of Blair, and

1257
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: then also digs going down there was a fly sweet

1258
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: type motion where they pitched it and he just read

1259
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: it right away. So I like his reads. He's what

1260
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: he had eight tackles in that game, I think, and

1261
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: then against Miami had a good game, and yeah, he

1262
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: looks really good. I've been very pleasantly surprised by him,

1263
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,320
Speaker 1: and maybe not surprised, but I guess we just kind

1264
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: of overlooked him a little bit because because of all

1265
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: everything that we saw out of Marquise Blair in camp,

1266
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: and I would definitely agree with that. And one of

1267
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the best things too, is you look at him and

1268
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the way he plays the game. Even if he gets beat,

1269
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: there's never a play where you're going, oh my gosh,

1270
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: this guy just got the absolute breaks taken off of them,

1271
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: and he is right there. He is making every catch difficult.

1272
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: And so I think when you talk about Uguamadi and

1273
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: what he has been able to do, he has allowed

1274
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,439
Speaker 1: this defense and this coaching staff to not stray too

1275
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: far away from their original plans. Maybe they're not blitzing

1276
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: the nickel as much as they would have if Marquise

1277
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: Blair was still in the game, But I mean they're

1278
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: sticking with him. They have confidence in him, and he's

1279
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: been doing great from what I've been able to see

1280
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: in zone coverage and man coverage. So Ugle has been

1281
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: really impressive. And the one thing that I want to

1282
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: see from him is getting his hands on the football

1283
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: in terms of getting an interception, because A I think

1284
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: it would be great, it would be a great confidence

1285
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: booster for him. But B he is dynamic with the

1286
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. He was a former punt returner

1287
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: kick returner at the University of Oregon, and he has

1288
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 1: that playmaking ability in him. And so that's that's the

1289
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: next step for him, but certainly right now in week five,

1290
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: I just want to see him continue to keep playing

1291
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: great football the way that he has been. Would you

1292
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: describe him or his game, Dave as raw, because it

1293
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: seems like with Blair out, this is kind of on

1294
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: the job training for him, Like he's just thrown into

1295
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: that spot and Pete Carroll just kind of said go

1296
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: and he's had some success so far. But what does

1297
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: he look like He's like his game is polished or

1298
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: does he kind of look raw to you? Yeah, I

1299
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: think it looks good. I mean he's he's on coverage.

1300
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I think he's explosiveness is what allows him to cover

1301
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: so well that that's so difficult. I mean, and you

1302
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: see Trey Flowers struggle a little bit with that right now.

1303
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: But trying to cover somebody they know where they're going,

1304
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: you don't, I mean that's all. That's always a difficult task.

1305
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 1: And I feel like he he looks like he's also

1306
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: a smart player. But yeah, that's the thing I noticed

1307
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: about him too, Jake is when he was at Oregon,

1308
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: when he gets his hands on the ball. I mean,

1309
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: if he could play like that all the time, he

1310
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: would be all Pro because man, when he gets the

1311
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, it's just just energizes him, it

1312
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: seems like. So yeah, hopefully he's able to get some

1313
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: takeaways and that's something they've they've done well, right, I mean,

1314
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: what are they at seven I believe takeaways right now? Yeah,

1315
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: they're they're third in the NFL with plus four turnover ratio,

1316
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: so really good. And Ugo Amati with three tackles, two

1317
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: passes defended over the Miami Dolphins and he joins us

1318
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: right now, Ugo, how are you, guys? We're good. Thanks

1319
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: so much for giving us some time today, said, guys

1320
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: to have him of course, of course, we were just

1321
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: talking about how impressive you've looked, h you know, in

1322
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: your last couple starts here for the Seahawks. Does it

1323
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: feel like, I mean you were kind of thrown into

1324
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the action a bit. Does it feel like you're getting

1325
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: into a zone, because that's what it at least looks

1326
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: like from our point of view. Oh yeah, I'm slowly,

1327
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: you know, getting the hang of things. You know, they're

1328
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: getting comfortable out there, you know, and just playing fast. Hey, Ugo,

1329
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: you told us that being out on the field for

1330
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: that last play against the Patriots was like coming home

1331
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: and having your mom with pizza rolls ready, And did

1332
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 1: you have a moment in the Miami game where it

1333
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: was a pizza role moment for you? Let me see,

1334
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think. I'm trying

1335
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 1: to think that pizza role moment was when Shaq caught

1336
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: that peak. It just happened so fast. It's a little

1337
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: I turned around, he caught the ball, like, oh my gosh.

1338
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, everybody you got turned down with the pizza

1339
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: role moment, were all celebrating the endzone with him. I'm

1340
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: shocked you didn't say your own past breakup. It was

1341
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: such a great play right along the sideline. Yeah, that

1342
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: was a great play, you know, but you know, I

1343
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: don't like to myself. That's very good of you, very

1344
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: good of you. And we're gonna have to have like

1345
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: a weekly segment of pizza role moment of the week

1346
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: for Ugo a model. Yeah, now with the ranch dressing,

1347
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:24,639
Speaker 1: that's true, Ugo. One of the things that I'm waiting

1348
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: that I can't I cannot wait to see if from

1349
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 1: you is you know, eventually you're getting that shot Griffin moment.

1350
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: You getting an interception out there on the field. And

1351
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:34,640
Speaker 1: part of the reason why I'm so excited I was

1352
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: just saying this to to everybody is because I'm excited

1353
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: to see what you do with the ball in your hands.

1354
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 1: Being a former punt returner and knowing the explosion and

1355
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: and playmaking ability that you have. H what will that

1356
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 1: be like to get your first interception? Um, that would

1357
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: be a highlight on my you know, first that bad

1358
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: in the Seahawks defense. You know, I'm just when whenever

1359
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I get the ball, I just don't want to do

1360
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: too much, you know, just do what I've all is

1361
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: it doing as a kid when I get the ball,

1362
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, just be electri filing it. Would you want

1363
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: to return punts for the Seahawks here? Like, why not?

1364
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Tell Pete Carroll? Like, hey, coach, stick me in there.

1365
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I can make it happen, and I'll do whatever the

1366
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: team needs me to do, you know. And so if

1367
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: there's a returning puns returning kicks, you know, I won't

1368
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: shy away from that at all. Hey, when you guys

1369
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 1: have been having your you know, tell the truth Monday moments, Um,

1370
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: looking at some stuff that you'd like to improve on.

1371
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 1: I know, you can't share all of this with us.

1372
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: You got to keep it within the team. But is

1373
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: there this feeling on the defense of we've got to

1374
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: get better? And then do you have things you guys

1375
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: are focusing on. Oh yeah, it's not just defense as

1376
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: a team in general. You know, it's always something to

1377
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: get better at. Um, you know we're four no, you know,

1378
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: which is a blessing not to me. Teams could say that,

1379
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 1: and you know with me and four no, you know

1380
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: there's a big target on your back now now teams

1381
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: will bring you down. So you know, there's got to

1382
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: be better, better at the smaller things. You know, speaking

1383
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: of that, I was, I was, you know, always saying

1384
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: like it's not a quick fix, right, I mean when

1385
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,879
Speaker 1: you do things in the NFL kind of comes slowly.

1386
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: You guys were better, You guys were much better in

1387
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: past coverage. Um, what was what was the emphasis last week?

1388
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: What was the difference do you think in the in

1389
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: the Miami game compared to the previous games. Uh, you know,

1390
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: we just had to get our hands on the ball.

1391
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, quarterback last week, you know he'll give you

1392
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity to make a play on the ball, and

1393
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, we had to make the most of those

1394
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: opportunities and wanted to bounce back from last week, I

1395
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: mean the week before then. You know, we want we

1396
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: warn't as tight as we needed to be as a unit.

1397
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: And I feel like that next the next fall when

1398
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: we goose with the Dolphins, you know, we kind of

1399
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: bounced back. We got our edge, got our confidence, and

1400
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: now we have an identity. UGO, what is something that

1401
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: is your You guys are preparing for the Vikings? What

1402
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: do you see from from those guys as you're as

1403
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: you're preparing from them, uh, preparing for them? And how

1404
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 1: we're excited? Are you for for that challenge? I'm very

1405
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: excited about the challenge just because it's the next challenge

1406
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 1: ahead of us as a team. And um, this offense,

1407
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're heavy run team and they want to

1408
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: under bout, especially in the back. They have great receivers,

1409
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: you know. Um, so it's gonna be a it's gonna

1410
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: be another great game. You know, we just gotta nip

1411
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 1: everything in the bud and make him play left handed.

1412
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Just stopped their strength and you know, just make him

1413
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: play left handed. You know Jamal Adams as I'm sure

1414
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 1: you know by now is a pretty intense guy, fun guy.

1415
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: How much different is it without him? Not just on

1416
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: the field, but like without him around the team. You know,

1417
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: he was watching you guys from home, he was tweeting

1418
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: about that. Is it? Is it a significantly different environment

1419
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 1: without him there? Yeah? His energy is always or his

1420
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: presence is always felt whenever he's around, you know, so

1421
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: like him not yelling or you know you're doing showing

1422
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: his energy just different, you know, him not being around.

1423
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: But what I thought, what he done forcial media, I

1424
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: was pretty huge. Man. He's all about ball man and

1425
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: that's not something he's pretending to do. That's something who

1426
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 1: he truly truly is all right, you know, a really

1427
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: quiet guy that I've actually never even heard from. And

1428
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: unfortunately he's injured. But Marquise Blair, Um, yeah, how much

1429
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: you guys coming in the same year, Do you guys

1430
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: have a pretty good kinship? And how's he doing with

1431
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: his with his injury? Oh? Yes, my boy, man, we

1432
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: lived down the street from each other. He's doing well

1433
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: right now. I appreciate you asking. Um, you know, he's

1434
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: still you know, on the recovery process. You know, whenever

1435
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: you get injured, you know, it's never nothing easy to

1436
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, to to bear, you know, especially mentally because

1437
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: I know he could meet him. Whenever we got in

1438
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the field. We are going to prove ourselves. So I

1439
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: know that's what the type of age I have where

1440
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: I go out there and play because I know my

1441
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: dog Markisa would love to be out here. You know,

1442
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 1: let hit somebody in well, and you're a good friend

1443
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: who go because I can tell you, having been often injured,

1444
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: one of the things that happens is you feel like

1445
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: you're disconnected from the team kind of. So yeah, and

1446
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: then sometimes I come frotity like oh man makes to

1447
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: be right here, or and meeting Mikey's be seeing right

1448
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 1: here next to me here. There's a lot of missed

Speaker 1: for himself this weekend. I mean, I love the kind

1457
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: of teamwork of looking at like, hey, you know, Shack's

1458
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 1: interception was fantastic, but you guys, that past breakup was great.

1459
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: That was a great play right along the sidelines from him. Um,

1460
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be speaking to guard Damian Lewis in

1461
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 1: just a moment here. I will not tell you or

1462
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,920
Speaker 1: tell him what you said about rookies. He is a

1463
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: big guy. We'll keep that away from him. Rabel's quote,

1464
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't, of course it was. Of course, it was

1465
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: one quick thing on Ugo Matti, really quick. He was

1466
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: a Lombardi Award winner. And the Lombardi Award is for

1467
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: and if you go back and look at the list,

1468
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 1: it's some pretty amazing players. But it's it's it's for

1469
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, academics, it's for the kind of person you

1470
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: are and volunteering and things like that. So Ugo is uh, yeah,

1471
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: he's well deserved of that a word, and joining us

1472

1478
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be tough without much of an off

1479
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: season for rookies, but you have adjusted so well. Has

1480
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: there been anyone you've been leaning on on the rest

1481
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: of that offensive line for kind of mentorship. Yeah, you know,

1482

1495
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: the first four weeks, one of the things that I

1496
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 1: can definitely say is is that you are nasty at

1497
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimm and just you know, specifically in

1498
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the run game and finishing guys off. Uh, you know,

1499
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: talk to us about your mentality man heading into each game,

1500
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: because I go back and watch the film and it

1501
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: is so fun to watch you work each week. Hell,

1540
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, wrap this up. We have just just a

1541
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: minute here left of the huddle, last chance that all

1542
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: four of us will get to talk about this game

1543
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: on the huddle heading into the weekend. So Dave, I'm

1544
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: gonna put you on the spot. I'm sorry in advance,

1545
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make you give us your prediction for

1546
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: the game. Are the Seahawks heading into the bi week undefeated?

1547
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 1: I believe so. I think they're going to find a

1548
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: way to win. So I think I really liked the

1549
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: sort of baby step that they took defensively, so but

1550
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be it's going to continue to

1551
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: be baby steps. And I do think that there. I

1552
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: see this as like a touchdown game, you know, probably

1553
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: gonna keep it close. I don't think they're gonna be

1554
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: blowing anybody out, so you know, I'll say something like,

1555
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, thirty eight thirty one. Yeah, yeah, I think

1556
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: that's fair. Let's hope for at least some pizza roll

1557
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: moments of the game. I think that's the best thing

1558
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: we can hope for. If you can get a pizza

1559
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 1: role moment of the game in Ranch with Ranch Ugo,

1560
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: Amanti will be happy. I think Seahawks fans will be

1561
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: very happy with that one. All right. This has been
