Welcome to Seahawks Saturday Night. 13 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: Alongside head coach Pete Carroll. I'm Aaron Levine, coach. How 14 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: you doing? Good to see you? Yeah, new year, let's 15 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: go well even the season opener. What do you think 16 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: about your team right now? Well, we're really excited about 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: getting role. It's been an off season with a lot 18 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: of energy and a lot of juice, really looking forward 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: to this, and so it's finally here. We're ready to go. 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: He talked about getting back to that winning formula this offseason, 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: were you able to accomplish everything you wanted to do 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: in terms of your roster and your coaching staff. Well, 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: we've done some really good things here that have led 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: us right down that road we're hoping. You know, we 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: just look at the draft pick and how we've been 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: able to restructure the offensive line somewhat and keep those 27 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: guys together. Both of those thoughts are their Shaddy knows 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: and Mike Solari knows, you know what we're trying to 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: get done with it with the whole scheme, so we 30 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: like to even it out so we can bounce out 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: a run pass game that it compliments the whole the 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: whole style of a football. I've heard those terms smart, tough, 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: reliable a lot this offseason and heading into the preseason. 34 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Was that a common theme in terms of some of 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: the guys you wanted to bring in here. Well, it's 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: always been our common theme, you know, in terms of 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: acquiring personnel, and so that's been the guidelines force. I 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: think maybe because we had some opportunities, it's come up 39 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: a lot. We really do want to make sure that 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: we're always, you know, staying true to what we're all 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: about and That's that's it. Smart, tough, reliable has been 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: the way we've done it. Hard to believe. This is 43 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's seventh season. What's the next step for him 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: this year? Well, I'm hoping that he just continues to grow, 45 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: you know. I this position is such an extraordinary position, 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: so much dynamic to it. His relationship with Shaddy has 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: been obvious. I'm hoping that they will will see the 48 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: benefits of that, their connection, the work that they've done together, 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: how connected they are, if they could really make a 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: difference for us. Is there a difference in preparing for 51 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: a season opener as opposed to another game in the 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: regular season. Well, somewhat, because you know, you haven't seen 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: the team really under regular season conditions, so we have 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: to be ready to adjust and adapt. That that goes 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: for both sides of the ball, for both teams. You know, 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: you have to wait and see what everybody does. But 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: other than that, you know, it's ball and away we go. 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: There's always that that feeling like it's the first time out, 59 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, and you a little unknown, or we're going 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: to run and hit the way we want to and 61 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But that takes care of 62 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: itself real early in the first quarter. So which are 63 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: the newcomers are you excited to see performing this one? Well, 64 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the draft class has been really exciting, 65 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: and just start right at the top. Rashot is somebody 66 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: we would dye in to see. He's looked great in practice. 67 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: He's worked really well. He's hadn't had much work in 68 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: the preseason, but we've really feel like he's got something 69 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: for us. Right on down the line, Rahim Green, well, 70 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: this lee has done a great job. We can't wait 71 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: to see Mike and kick the football. Trey Flower is 72 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: going to play in this game. And another guy that 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: really Austin Collichro has done a really good job. He'll 74 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: play in this game too. And of course you're gonna 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: see Griff out there, you know, for the first time 76 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: starting with their guys, so that'll be really exciting. You 77 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: mentioned Michael Dixon. Are excited to see how far he 78 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: can kick at altitude? Well, the ball's gonna be up 79 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: there for a while now. If he hangs him like 80 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: he normally does, it's gonna feel like it's not coming down. 81 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Oh quick, question about altitude. Tomorrow, The Broncos are actually 82 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: thirteen and one in the first two weeks of the 83 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: regular season at home. Over the last ten years, there's 84 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: a theory out there that a lot of the starters 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: they play sparingly during the preseason, then they have to 86 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: go play four full quarters at altitude in a regular 87 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: season game. Do you think that's a factor and do 88 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: you do anything to try and acclimate them to that 89 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: kind of atmosphere. Well, first you want to document that 90 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: where that theory came from. I'm bringing it up today. 91 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: It's your theory. Yeah it maybe you know, it's just 92 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: a tough place to play, no matter when it's always 93 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: been historically tough, and uh, you know, we got to 94 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: get out there and play good football. A lot of 95 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: our guys are gonna play. We're gonna make sure our 96 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: rotations are deep, and that's been part of the thought 97 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: process all the way throughout. Well, we're gonna go play 98 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: the way we want to play and hopefully not let 99 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: those conditions or situation have anything to do with it. Now, 100 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: the Broncos have a new quarterback this year in case Kenan. 101 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: What do you see from him? He's really solid. You know, 102 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: he had a great season last year. He had great 103 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: numbers didn't turn the ball over much, really led their 104 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: club well. Was looking at the Vikings, which he did 105 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: a beautiful job to won thirteen games last year. You know, 106 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: they were good on third down, they did a lot 107 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: of good things. So if he can carry that stuff 108 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: to this club, they'll they'll really benefit from it. You know, 109 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: they had some problems with turnovers last year. If they 110 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: can clean that stuff up, then you know, case maybe 111 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: a big part of that. Our tware question this week 112 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: comes from at LaRue eighty four coach. If you had 113 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: to choose one word to describe this team's mindset or 114 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: motto heading into the season, what would it be. I 115 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: don't think it's a mindset or a model, but really 116 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: it's been apparent is opportunity. Guys have come in with 117 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: the thought that they're going to try to make a 118 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: spot here on this club and be part of it, 119 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: you know, and represent the twelves, and they it's just 120 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: been part of the energy throughout the whole offseason and 121 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: all the way through camp. So there's a lot of 122 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: guys that are that have fought hard and they're anxious 123 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: to go ahead and show what they what they can do. 124 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: And it's really been about opportunity, big opportunity in this 125 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: season starting tomorrow, good go, here we go. And if 126 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: you have a question for Pete Carroll, you can submit 127 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: it on Twitter using the hashtag ask Coach Pete. We'll 128 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: use one or two on the air every week. Again, 129 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: that's hashtag Ask Coach Pete. Seahawks Saturday Night is just 130 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: getting started. We're counting down to the kickoff of the 131 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season by looking back at the best of 132 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: our mic up action in twenty seventeen. Let's do, Let's go, 133 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: let's go, Let's
