Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Jen Mueller.

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 3: It is a new look Seahawks season, and I dare

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 3: say John Boyle, it is a new look to the

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: Seahawks Insiders podcast.

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a good look. Do people

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 5: need to see I meant for me, not you, not you,

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 5: of course I just meant you know, people need to

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 5: see me on video.

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: Well, the people have spoken and the answer is yes.

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 2: Well all right.

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: Also means that we can do nothing but smile at

22
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: each other the entire time. Sometimes we have been known

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: to make dirty looks at each other, or you know,

24
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: make silly faces. So unless we want to bloopers reel,

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: let's keep it lake tightening.

26
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: No blooper material, seventeen weeks. Let's clean.

27
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: Let's we're going clean.

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: Plus playoffs. Yes, we can do that.

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: It is exciting to be back. It's exciting to be

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: talking about regular season football. Although I'm gonna be honest,

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily know what we're talking about this week.

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 5: I kind of like that it adds some excitement, like

33
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 5: we haven't seen I mean, we've seen a little bit

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 5: in training camp in preseason, but we have not really

35
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 5: seen what this is going to look like. And we

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 5: want until Sunday, which to me just adds to a

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 5: really fun week one.

38
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: I think it is the same on both sides, though,

39
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: because typically in a week one matchup, look, you spend

40
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: all summer in all off season preparing for what one

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: series of football, like literally one series of football. Then

42
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 3: everything goes in a completely different direction on that front.

43
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: But I think in past years it would be really

44
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: easy to study film from your opponent because tendencies would

45
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: be the same, or the quarterback would be the same.

46
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: I don't know what quite honestly, I don't know what

47
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: Sean Payton's been studying for the Seahawks. And I know

48
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: that Mike McDonald who has been looking at a guy

49
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: like Bo Nicks, but that entire offense is going to

50
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: look different in Denver.

51
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you bring a new quarterback in, you're

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 5: gonna play to his strengths. And look, Sean Payton's been

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 5: coaching a long time, He's got there's plenty of film

54
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: of what his offense is, but he's gonna tailor it

55
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 5: to bo Nicks. So just as the Broncos don't have

56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: a great read on what the Seahawks are doing week one,

57
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 5: the Seahawks aren't going to be sure what the offense

58
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: for the Broncos looks like. And that will just it

59
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 5: puts a fun challenge for both teams. Like to sit

60
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 5: there and like, we need to be fundamentally sound, we

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: need to play fast, we need to not make mistakes.

62
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 5: But it's going to be hard to scheme.

63
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: I think that does add to a lot of intrigue.

64
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: We like it, ye, I really like it. And look,

65
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: we have been watching what the Seahawks team has done

66
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: in practice for the entire training camp, for OTAs, for

67
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: mini camp, and even those preseason games. But there is

68
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: something a little bit different when you get to week

69
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: one and kind of how practices look when you are

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: trying to scheme up an opponent.

71
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: Well, we're working stuff tailored towards the towards the opponent.

72
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 6: Almost probably eighty five percent of the practice. We'll do

73
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 6: some stuff that's you know, fast, try to work execution

74
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 6: with the ones on ones, but mostly it's carded dealer's

75
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 6: choice type of plays the whole time, so everything's pretty

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 6: much directed it, you know, the other side of the ball.

77
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 5: At this point, it's a pretty clear distinction for those

78
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: who follow football closely. But it's a good reminder to

79
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 5: fans like how different an in season practice and what

80
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 5: we've seen training camp, training camp all the time. You

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: get the ones on ones, they're just competing, going against

82
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: each other. You know, the defense doesn't really have a

83
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 5: great plan for what the offense is doing and vice

84
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 5: versa because they're not scheming. Whereas you get a regular

85
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: season practice and seat out there that who says the cards.

86
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: It's you know, an assistant coaches out there holding up

87
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 5: a card with the opposing team's play calls or you know,

88
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: what they think they're going to be and they're running

89
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: those plays. So very different format to practice just to

90
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 5: get ready for a specific opponent.

91
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: I also think that Week one is just a taste, yeah,

92
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: of everything, right, we've seen a lot of vanilla game

93
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: plans for the three weeks of the preseason. But at

94
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: what point, John, do you think we see I don't know,

95
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: like even upwards of sixty five percent of their place.

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, it's really tough to say because

97
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: we just don't know what this coaching staff, how they're

98
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: going to roll things out. But I do think it's

99
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: you know, pretty normal in the NFL, and even more

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: so for a new coaching staff that you're building. You know,

101
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: I think it was Bill Belichick once country for like

102
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: the first four games of the regular season as preseason,

103
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: like you're not really who you are as a team.

104
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: Obviously you want to win those games.

105
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 5: They still count the standings, but you're not the same

106
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: team in week one, week two as you are week seven,

107
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: week eight.

108
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: It's just the way the NFL works.

109
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sample size. And what Mike McDonald kept saying

110
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: this week was, you know, the team needs to find

111
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: its fastball, yeah, which is his way of saying they

112
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: need to figure out what they do best. And I

113
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: don't know that they know what that is yet, John,

114
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: Like I can take a guess. I don't think they

115
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: actually know.

116
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they hope you know you have you

117
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 5: have what you hope it is, and you know you

118
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 5: have certain things.

119
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: That you want to be your identity.

120
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: They've talked about being physical and tough, and the phrase

121
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 5: of Mike Mcdonaldy's like, we want to be really hard

122
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: to play against, like they they want to be the

123
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: team that you're like, oh no, we got to play them.

124
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: But until you've done it for a few weeks, to

125
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: your point, you don't know, Like you say you want

126
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: to be X, Y and Z, but are is that

127
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: going to be a strength or are you gonna get

128
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: two weeks? Since he's like, we're not doing this as

129
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: well as we hope. However, this is working, so we're

130
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 5: going to lean that direction.

131
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: So what do you think is going to be the

132
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: strength of this team?

133
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 5: I mean, we're talking both sides of the ball. I

134
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: do think, you know, from a general standpoint, I do

135
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 5: think they're going to be just kind of a fast,

136
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 5: physical team. The way Mike McDonald practices them. And while

137
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: I mean so much of what he does defensively is

138
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: like I want it to be where it looks hard

139
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 5: and it looks confusing, but to our players, it's basically

140
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: like we've got these few concepts, but we can switch

141
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: them up and do them really fast. And then I

142
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 5: think the offense, we keep hearing the word explosive just

143
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: over and over, and if you watch the University Washington

144
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 5: last year, that's something they did really well, and it

145
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: suits the weapons they have so well in the quarterback

146
00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: so well that like.

147
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: It won't look exactly the same.

148
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 5: It's big difference going against college defenses and NFL defenses.

149
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: But man, I think that Gino Smith and his weapons

150
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: could have a lot of fun in this scheme.

151
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to get back to that in just

152
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: a second, but I want to weigh on on this

153
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 3: one because as you're talking about it, here's the way

154
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: that I would say it. Instead of having to pick

155
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: one side of the ball or the other, I would say,

156
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: these schemes are married together. And it is very much

157
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: what we said about the Ravens, right. You just have

158
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: the scheme on both sides of the ball. It's complimentary football.

159
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: There is never a chance to catch your breath. And

160
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: I was talking to some of our players after Mike

161
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: McDonald was hired and just happened to pop in and

162
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: run into them in the building, and I was talking

163
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: about this, and it's funny because if you were on

164
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: one side of the ball or the other, you're only

165
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: focused on what defense is doing, what offense is doing. Right,

166
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: it makes sense. And I'm like, but look, guys, if

167
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: you watch an entire game, look at what happens. Like, look,

168
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 3: you guys are doing the same thing on both sides

169
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 3: of the ball, and they're like, oh, yeah, that would

170
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: that would be kind of fun.

171
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

172
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: I think it's the way these two are potentially married

173
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: together that would be just a juggernaut for an entire game. Now,

174
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm saying this having not seen a regular season game,

175
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: but the potential is there to do what the Ravens did,

176
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: to have it built the way the Ravens had it built.

177
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.

178
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 5: And I think you know one other thing i'd throw

179
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 5: out with McDonald. We hear the word discipline a lot

180
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 5: and accountability a lot, and like, I just think he's

181
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: a coach that you're gonna have to figure out how

182
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: to do things cleanly, and that's going to show up.

183
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: I think on the defensive side of the ball, especially

184
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: where maybe there's been some issues that have held this

185
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: scene back in past years recently that I think they'll

186
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: clean up some of that well.

187
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: And defense this week is going against a rookie quarterback,

188
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: one that they are really excited about in Denver and

189
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: bow Nicks. I do think that his style of play,

190
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: at least what we saw in college, matches what Sean

191
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: Payton wants to do. But here's what Mike McDonald is

192
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: expecting from bow Yeah.

193
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 7: I think it's a sliding scale, so to speak.

194
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 6: But on how much you you know, factor all the

195
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 6: things you know, this this system is, you know, Sean's system.

196
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 6: It seems like that they've been really successful with for

197
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: such a long time, and both seems like he's a

198
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 6: great fit for what they're asking him to do, which

199
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 6: is a little bit different than some of the stuff. Now,

200
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 6: you know, some of those things might carry over how

201
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 6: he operates things like that. His strengths probably will definitely,

202
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: you know, transfer from from college to the pros.

203
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 7: But I wouldn't put too much stock into it.

204
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 6: But we all had our respect Froim as a player,

205
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 6: and uh, but we're also defending like the plays that

206
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 6: you know, Sean's been running for years.

207
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what Sean Payton likes to do is play action.

208
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: It is quick decision making it is getting the ball

209
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 3: out fast. We saw bo Nicks do that at times

210
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: in college. But I do think that phrase that Mike

211
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: McDonald just used, I wouldn't put too much stock in it.

212
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons, quite honestly, I didn't look

213
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: up a whole lot of numbers from today because it

214
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: doesn't matter.

215
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's to be close, you're not taking a

216
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: shot anybody of that.

217
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 5: That's just he's putting out Like so much changes from

218
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: what this guy is doing in Oregon to what is

219
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 5: going to be happening in Chompaynon's offense with him, So

220
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 5: it's like, you you know, they're going to obviously do

221
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 5: everything they can to scheme and figure out things it

222
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 5: will help them, but so much of a week one

223
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 5: game is just gonna be like, all right, here's what

224
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 5: they're doing.

225
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: How do we addrest well, and to be fair, if

226
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: you want to know what he did in the preseason,

227
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: he led the Broncos to scoring drives on six of

228
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: the seven possessions that he was in the game. Last year,

229
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: it was a big problem three and out for the Broncos,

230
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: and we kind of understand some of those struggles based

231
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: on the personnel group. But what they're really excited about

232
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: in Denver is staying on the field and giving your chance,

233
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: your team a chance to actually march down the field.

234
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: I totally get that. I would expect that they're going

235
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: to lean on the run game and that there's going

236
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: to be some easy outlet passes for him, because what

237
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: I know about this defense is he is not going

238
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: to get the same read pre snap as when that.

239
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: Ball is snapped exactly.

240
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a huge part of what Mike McDonald's

241
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: defense does as they confuse. They put pressure on an

242
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: offense by confusing him of like you're showing one thing

243
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: before the snap and then you think, think this guy's coming,

244
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: and this guy's coming, they drop into coverage and pressure's

245
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: coming from somewhere else. And you know, to bo Nix's credit,

246
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: one of the things we saw in college that he

247
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: did do very well is he can get the ball

248
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: out fast. He's not going to stand there and hold

249
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 5: the ball. And that's a big part of Sean Payton's

250
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: defense is quickly he's getting the ball out. So Siaux

251
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: will dial plenty of things up to try to mess

252
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 5: with him. But I think Bonnicks is, you know, for

253
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: a rookie in his first start, he's probably as well

254
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: equipped as any player in that situation to handle pressure well.

255
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: And he has won over his teammates and his coaches

256
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: and the city. Not only is he going to be

257
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: the first rookie to start for the Broncos since John

258
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: Elway in nineteen eighty three, he turned out okay, he

259
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: did turn out okay. He is also the first Broncos

260
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: rookie to be named a captain since nineteen sixty seven.

261
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: That is an honor that is voted on by his teammates.

262
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: So whatever he has done in his short time in

263
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: the Mile High City, he has won them over.

264
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it's yeah.

265
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: I mean he's It's not easy to start as a

266
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 5: rookie and teams are careful with who they let do that.

267
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 5: So he's clearly done a lot of things to impress

268
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 5: everybody around him.

269
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so we know that bo Nix is going to

270
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: be the starter. They have high hopes during a rebuilding

271
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: season in Denver. Now, fans will tell you that this

272
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: is going to be their year, but if you actually

273
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: look at the odds makers, they're saying about five and

274
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: a half wins is where they've got the Broncos peck

275
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: As for more of what we expect to see on Sunday, well,

276
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 3: probably just a lot of personnel groups.

277
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 6: Uh, you're gonna get it. He's gonna play everybody. They

278
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 6: do a great job of playing all their guys. It's

279
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,479
Speaker 6: a lot of different personnel groups running pass for complimentary

280
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: drop back game. I think it's consistent for the quarterback,

281
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 6: but you know they can they can create explosives that

282
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 6: way too, and then they you.

283
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 7: Know, they get the ball to their playmakers.

284
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: So it's a tried and true system that they've done

285
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 6: it really well for a long time.

286
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 5: On Peyton's offense because he has you know, he built

287
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: some of the great offenses in the NFL for a

288
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: long time, and you know, you know Seaks has seen

289
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 5: him plenty, and it's McDonald's referenced that that's part of

290
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 5: what makes it challenging is the way they use different guys.

291
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's not.

292
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: Necessarily unpredictable in terms of play to play, but just

293
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: they're running all these different personnel groups that really strain

294
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: a defense. So it's gonna be a fun tests, good,

295
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: good matchup of coaches, test.

296
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: And wits well. And if I have to say what

297
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: the Seahawks defense has been looking at for the entirety

298
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 3: of the off season, there's a lot of personnel groups

299
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: on the Ryan Grubb offensive skime.

300
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of motion, a lot of different group beings.

301
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: It should should be a good, good preparation for them

302
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: what they've been seeing all of camp.

303
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: I think it is going to be really interesting. We're

304
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: going to dive a little bit more into the offense

305
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: and what we expect in just a second afterward from

306
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: our presenting sponsor.

307
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Statistically, the world is losing color.

308
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: Just consider all white kitchens, beige baby nurseries, a sea

309
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: of gray cars. But in the hundreds of destinations Stelta

310
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: flies to, you can rediscover color in the bright blue

311
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: waters of Hawaii, the emerald green hills of Scotland, the

312
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: very pink cherry blossoms of Tokyo, and so much more.

313
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes opening your world is all it takes to open

314
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: your mind, which is why when you fly Delta, your

315
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: potential takes off. When you do Delta, Official Airline of

316
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: the Seattle Seahawks.

317
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: I don't know which side of the ball I'm looking

318
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: forward to seeing most, but I think I am most

319
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: intrigued by how Ryan Grubb's offense translates to the NFL.

320
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that it can't and that I

321
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: have any doubts. I just want to know what it

322
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 3: looks like. First of all, you've got hash marks that

323
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: are different in college, so that's a little bit different.

324
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: Second of all, you don't get to have ninety guys active,

325
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: like there are some real decisions. And we were talking

326
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: with John Schneider before one of the preseason games and

327
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: he explained this exercise that he takes the coordinators through

328
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: and said, Okay, now, explain to me how you're going

329
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: to use these guys on game day, right, like what

330
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: packages and what plays are we going to run? And

331
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: for the coordinators to realize, oh, I don't have everybody

332
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: on the roster, right, like, okay, this is what we're

333
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: actually doing. Again, I think that this is easy enough

334
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: to overcome. I did. I think it was interesting when

335
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: talking to DK Metcalf this week when it asked, you know,

336
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 3: like about the explosive plays, and he's like, yep, it's

337
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: a run first offense.

338
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I yeah.

339
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: I mean I don't think we expect to hear that

340
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 5: because you just when you think of those Washington offenses,

341
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 5: you think of the passing games. Now, if you actually

342
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 5: look at the the run pass splits, it was not

343
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 5: as unbalanced as you might think. Then again, they were

344
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: winning big in a lot of those games and it

345
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 5: might have been a lot of fourth quarter running. That

346
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 5: being said, it was interesting to hear DK Metcalf say like, yeah,

347
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: first team meeting, he brought us in here, introduced himself

348
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: and immediately said like, no, we're going to run the ball.

349
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 5: We're gonna set the tone with running. So it's you know,

350
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: I think he recognizes I can't remember if it was

351
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: his first press conference or during OTA's in mini camp,

352
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 5: but Ryan Grebb talked about like, yeah, we have certain

353
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: things we know work, but we also recognize like some

354
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: things that worked in college will not work in the NFL.

355
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 5: Defense are is better, they're faster, so he's going to

356
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 5: have to make adjustments and one of those will be,

357
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: you know, I think relying a little more in a

358
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: running game to be a little more balanced and keep

359
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: defenses on their toes.

360
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: Well, and you've got to control time of possession too

361
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: if you want this defense to be explosive as you

362
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: expect them to be. You can't have them on the

363
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: field for forty minutes a game, right, So it's actually

364
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: kind of the Broncos problem the year that they played

365
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, right, they had one

366
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: of the fastest scoring drive times in the NFL, but

367
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: their defense was on the field the entire time, so

368
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: they were worn out by the time they got to

369
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: the postseason. I do think it's interesting. I also wonder

370
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: and Ryan Grubb is awesome. I really enjoyed the conversations

371
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: with him. I would be curious to talk to guys

372
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: a few weeks in and see if the buy in

373
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: was easier because he was in town and everybody knew

374
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: what the Huskies were doing everybody.

375
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 5: That's a good point, like if he was doing the

376
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: exact same thing somewhere in the Midwest, would all the

377
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: players be as familiar with it and just be like, oh, yeah,

378
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 5: we saw that last year and it was just awesome.

379
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 5: And I think it also helps like the NFL pedigree

380
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 5: that came out of that offense of like you see, okay,

381
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 5: he's doing this and sending all these dudes to the

382
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 5: NFL first round picks, you know, top top three rounds

383
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: whatever where all those receivers were. So I do think

384
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 5: even though he has not been a coordinator on this

385
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: level yet, he comes in with players being and also

386
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: just I think they've looked at his playbook and his

387
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: schemes and be like, dang, he's doing some cool stuff.

388
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: Like we heard Tyler Lockett talk about this. We go

389
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: like ya, Tiler's been doing this for nine years.

390
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 5: He's at a bunch of different coordinators and he's like, Oh,

391
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: this guy sees some things that I don't see.

392
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: Like it's cool to hear players talk about him.

393
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: It was super cool to sit in production meetings during

394
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: the preseason. It's one of the It's one of my

395
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 3: favorite times of year because we don't get to do

396
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: that every week during the regular season. The national broadcast

397
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: gets a chance to do that, whereas the local broadcast.

398
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: We get a chance to have pretty in depth one

399
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: on one conversations. And when you talk about Jay Harbob

400
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: running special teams and you talk about Ryan Grubb running

401
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: the offense, both of those guys essentially said, man, we

402
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: love to think outside the box, and we've come from

403
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: systems where that's all you did. Because in college everything

404
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: is open to you, so like you talk about like

405
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: the creativity and the innovation that's there. They like being

406
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: challenged in that way. And when I talked to Grub

407
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: and I started asking him about where some of these

408
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: philosophies come from, he said, look, well, it was all

409
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 3: out of necessity, right, Like, if you have the best

410
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 3: players in the world, you don't have to do any schemey,

411
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: you just go beat your guy. Ye, it all came

412
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: out of necessity. But listening to him talk reminded me

413
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: a little bit of the conversations I had with Mike Leach,

414
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 3: who did the same sort of thing different way, but

415
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: the way that he used time and space was very different. Grub,

416
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see third down plays. I cannot

417
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: wait to see them. He is not going for the sticks,

418
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: And he flat out said that. He goes, why would

419
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: I go for the sticks? Everybody's going to defend the sticks. Yeah,

420
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 3: he's going to call up plays that go for like

421
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: eight fifteen twenty yards on third.

422
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 5: Time Excity Yeah no, And I mean third down was

423
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 5: a big struggle for this offense. And you'll go back

424
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 5: to your coming about time and possession earlier helping the defense.

425
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: If if the one thing Grub does is coming and

426
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: make this team a good chunk better on third down.

427
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 5: That can make all the difference in the world on

428
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 5: both sides of them. All you sustained drives, you score

429
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 5: more points, and you take some burden off the defense man.

430
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 5: We've seen the last couple of seasons the Seahawks defense

431
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 5: has just got killed by time and possession and it

432
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: you know, there are things of defense need to do

433
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 5: better itself. But for sure they were playing, you know,

434
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: against kind of a stacked deck a lot of times,

435
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: just on time and possession.

436
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Speaking of stacking the deck, maybe in the Seahawks favor,

437
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: how about DK metcalf Movenor on the field. Yeah, we've

438
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: already seen that. Yeah, we've seen that. DK talked about

439
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: that one. That's that's going to be a fun one.

440
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 5: Ye see, He's always moved some, but it definitely, you know,

441
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: there's more of that, and it does, you know, create

442
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 5: some opportunities for him and for the other guys too.

443
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: I think it's probably also going to create some opportunities

444
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: for fantasy owners. But I am not the expert on that.

445
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: I'm very clear on that. We do have an expert

446
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: who is standing by to help you with Week one,

447
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 3: and that would be Scott Engele, our fantasy insider.

448
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 8: Thanks Jenn and John, and welcome to Week one of

449
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 8: the twenty twenty four fantasy football season. The Seahawks open

450
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 8: up at home against the Broncos at Lumen Field, and

451
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 8: we have everything you need to get your fantasy's lineups

452
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 8: locked in for your fantasy opener. I will start in

453
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 8: running back. You're not gonna bench Kenneth Walker, but he

454
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 8: may elevate your fantasy team to a victory in Week one,

455
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 8: so I just wanted to spotlight that. And last year

456
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 8: he was number two in juke rate and number three

457
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: in evaated tackles according to Pro Football Focus. So he's

458
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 8: gonna give the Broncos defense a big challenge in Week

459
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 8: one while helping your fantasy team. David Montgoming and the

460
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 8: Detroit Lions get him in there. The Lions have the

461
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 8: best run blocking advantage in football and week one according

462
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 8: to Pro Football Focus. And also, you want to play

463
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 8: Raheem Moster of the Miami Dolphins against the Jacksonville Jaguars

464
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 8: in your flex spot. That could be a high scoring

465
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 8: game and we know that Moster it's a goal line

466
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 8: Ace and he could score one, maybe two touchdowns. And

467
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 8: wide receiver the exciting Giants rookie Malik Neighbors is an

468
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 8: instant must start against the minute the secondary. Also Deontay

469
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 8: Johnson now at the Carolina Panthers, a new and busy

470
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 8: target for Bryce Young and of course Jackson Smith and

471
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 8: Jigba getting in your lineup. Sixty three receptions last year,

472
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 8: the second most ever for a Seahawks rookie. He's going

473
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 8: to operate well out of the slot. For Ryan Grubb

474
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 8: at tight end. Another rookie who can make an instant impact.

475
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 8: Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders. Good matchup against

476
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 8: the Chargers defense, and while you may not use him

477
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 8: right away, keep an eye on JANEU Smith of Miami

478
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 8: Dolphins as a compliment to those explosive wide receivers. You

479
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 8: may want to consider actually adding him before the Week

480
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 8: two waiver run. Also, we go back to the Seahawks.

481
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 8: They're a good fantasy team, a good resource for Week

482
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 8: one Geno Smith going deep possibly against that Denver secondary.

483
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 8: Last year he was fourth in Ze Bowl Actor receiver

484
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 8: rating and we know he has a great trio wide receivers. Also,

485
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 8: a healthy Kylo Murray with Marvin Harrison Junior as his

486
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 8: new rookie weapon. And if you're playing a two quarterback

487
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 8: league or super flex, we can start a second quarterback.

488
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 8: Consider Baker Mayfield and his wide receivers against the Washington Secondary.

489
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 8: I am Scott Engel. You can follow me on social

Speaker 8: get ready for Week one. Back to you Jen and John.

495
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: Thank you Scott. So I think at this point, John,

496
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: what we have determined is we have no idea what's

497
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 3: gonna happen on Sunday. We're both very excited for whatever

498
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: it is that's gonna happen.

499
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: Folks, you can't get this kind of analysis anywhere else.

500
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: We don't know what's gonna happen.

501
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: Good luck.

502
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: I believe in honesty. I believe in honesty. I'm just

503
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: set in the stage, you know, for next week when

504
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: we come in and we just go hard for all

505
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: the stats and all of the trends that we just

506
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: know are gonna pop up during the course of the season.

507
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: Usually at this point, folks, if you have been following

508
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 3: the Seahawks Insiders podcast for any length of time, I

509
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: would ask about two things that you need to see

510
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: for a Seahawks win. However, but I actually want to

511
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: know a twist.

512
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: I'm not prepared for this. Uhh, we didn't rehearse this

513
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: at all.

514
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: I think what I'm gonna do today is two players

515
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 3: who need to stand out to you on Sunday.

516
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: All right, two players who need to stand out. I'm excited.

517
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: I want to see what Tyrel Dodson's gonna do in

518
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: the middle of the defense. I think we kind of

519
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: have a pretty good idea of how good the secondary

520
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: can be. They've got some great weapons up front on defense,

521
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 5: they'll be deep, that rotation can be awesome. Middle linebacker,

522
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 5: we just you know, we haven't seen those guys in

523
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 5: a game yet. And you know, Jerome Baker's been banged up.

524
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: But Dowson he's such really good. You know those practice

525
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 5: in Tennessee, he was making plays all over the place.

526
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: I want to see what he can bring the middle

527
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 5: of that defense. Mike McDonald's gotten a lot out of

528
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: linebackers over the course of his career, so let's see

529
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: what he can do offensive side of the ball. We've

530
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: been hearing we've seen so little Kenneth Walker because he

531
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: doesn't play in the preseason.

532
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: You keep that I took years. I love it.

533
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 5: You just you don't play running backs much in the

534
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: preseason because that's so physical. But man, the way everyone's

535
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 5: talking about Kenneth Walker this this training camp. You hear

536
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: coaches grub loves him. I think he's gonna I mean,

537
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: he's been really good for two years. He's rushed over

538
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: two thousand yards toime touchdowns. But I think he could

539
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: do some pretty special things this year. I'm sorry for you.

540
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: Can I just piggyback on that? Actually, Nope, nope, I'm

541
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: gonna give you another one because I expect DK and

542
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: Tyler to do what they do. I would love to

543
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: see JSN a little bit more in the slot and

544
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: a few more explosive plays, just kind of see what

545
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: happens when you let him get like shifty inside a

546
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: little bit. On the defensive side of things. I could

547
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: either go secondary and say I want to see Reek

548
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 3: Woollan in a game and see if he can carry

549
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: it over or we didn't actually see a lot of

550
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 3: Byron Murphy in the preseason either. Yeah, and I know

551
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: what they've said, I know what I've seen on one

552
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 3: on ones, But as Mike McDonald say, I want to

553
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: feel him on defense, like I just I want to

554
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: see what he can do and what he can do

555
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: to kind of to pressure and make things difficult on BONEX.

556
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean we could go on. There's so many

557
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: guys that I'm he it was.

558
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 3: So easy and you still took mine. So this is,

559
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 3: you know, this is how things go. Next week we

560
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: will rehearse and next week we will be back with

561
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: you with a brand new edition of the Seahawks Insiders
