WEBVTT - Shanahan Discusses Quick Turnaround to Thursday’s Game in Seattle | Press Pass

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:01.759
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Injuries we got Burford knee, won't practice, Aaron Banks toe limited, chamarging,

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Charles shoulder limited, Ray Ray rib limited, Hardgrave thumb limited.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 3>And that's it.

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, Aaron Banks. Does he have any chance?

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 4>What's the next man up situation for right guard?

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Go there?

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 3>We got some guys on practice squad and we just

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 3>brought a guy in.

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 4>Or no.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I think he would be all right if he played Sunday,

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's a question here on Thursday and can't go today,

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 3>so it's worsome.

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 4>Is the arch Is he in the building yet?

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 3>I am not sure?

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 4>How do you go about getting him up to speed

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 4>and any chance that you can suit up.

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 3>On there's an outside chance, but I mean but being

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 3>a short week, will most likely go different traction. But

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 3>got a lot of moving parts with that.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Practice had right guard today and.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 4>You'd mentioned on Friday that the plan was to sign

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Jason Brett to the practice squad.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Is that still no, it has not happened.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 4>You anticipated happened.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 3>We'd like it too, but not sure yet. The coaches,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 3>you and the coaches stay over here after the game

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>of the night, are in preparation of Seattle?

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Or do you guys get to go home.

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 3>No, we we enjoy Sunday night knowing how miserable the

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 3>next few days are gonna be. We've been here since

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 3>we came in Monday morning, but we enjoyed Sunday for

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, got to bed early, and aren't gonna

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>look back to after the game on Thursday.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Said that that sometimes the game plan a Thursday after

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Sunday sometimes is a little bit more condensed.

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that accurate on both sides.

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Of the football you like it to be.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's different on both sides. You'd love to

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>make it condensed. Sometimes you don't have the time to

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 3>make the decisions. You know, you got a bunch of

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 3>plays you like, and you don't know which you like.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 3>To go through plays for a long time to make

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 3>sure they're all detailed and which ones to go with,

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes you don't have time for that. So sometimes

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.239
<v Speaker 3>you put in the extra ones and you decide over

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>the next forty eight hours which ones to take out

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and keep in. So we've done them both ways. But

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 3>it's it's always tough. Guys are familiar with It's main thing.

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Number to show you.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Guys usually deep a little bit more than you have

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 4>in the past. Is that a product of you're dialing

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 4>those up a little bit more and belief in Brock

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>or is Brock taking those shots more or is it

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 4>maybe combination.

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 3>I just I think when the looks are there, he

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>takes them, and so I think the looks have been

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>there at times, and when they have been there, he

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>really doesn't miss them and done a good job of

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 3>coming down with them.

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Are any difference in the way teams are defending you

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 4>since you've kind of started to.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Establish that, the more areas of the fields you hit,

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 3>the more areas they got to defend. So it's try

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 3>to balance all those out and try to throw where

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 3>they're not and Broxs in a real good job with that.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Carroll coach the team.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Just the style they play with. They're so competitive, it

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter what the record is. Where you play offensive

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and special teams, they all go extremely hard. They practice hard.

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 3>I think, just the style of their play and when

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 3>you watch the Salent Silent tape, it's just as close

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to ours as anyone else. I think we're very similar

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 3>in the style our teams play with.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>All the biggest challenge of Mett, Cap and.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Lockett, what's that what's.

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 4>The biggest challenge that met Cap and Locket.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean dk just how explosive he is. He's in

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>the size of them to be that explosive with that

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>size and be able to drop your hips and run

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 3>all the routes. It's had two guys I've ever been

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>around like that, and one was Julio Jones, and now

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 3>there was Andre Johnson. And this guy thinks a couple

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>of inches taller and about twenty eight pounds bigger, so

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>it shows you how talented he is. And then Lockett,

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it's been one of the more underrated receivers

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>over the last ten years. He's so consistent what he does.

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 3>He's got such a savviness on how to find the

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>zones when a lean away from certain man looks and stuff,

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 3>and very consistent receiver. Gina has done some good things.

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Gino's He's earned this role to get to where he's

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>been these last two years. Gino was really good at,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, kind of attacking the defense, take what they

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 3>give them, the goals to hopefully make them one dimensional

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 3>and try to get them to have to make some

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 3>bigger plays and not just stay within the scheme. How

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 3>he defense Oh yeah, it was. I mean, it would

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>have been fun to watch him these last twenty four

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>hours if we weren't having to go against him. But

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>he was as advertised. He's he's a good player. He's

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>all around the ball. When you study the run game,

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 3>you see him a lot. When you study first and

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 3>second down, you see him a lot. When you get

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.559
<v Speaker 3>to third down and watch coverages, you see him a lot.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 3>So it's every aspect of the game he has an

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 3>impact on and a really good football player who is

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 3>also extremely talented.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 4>If you observed or a scene from Sean Gibsons working

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 4>with young players like dire Brown to help them whenever

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>they get their chance to be able to step it seamlessly.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Gifts just got such a poise back there. It's kind

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 3>of Gip in the back end and Fred in the middle,

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.119
<v Speaker 3>and their ages are a little different, but they're both

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>the the the dads of the group, I say, with

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Get being a little more senior than Fred, but they're

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 3>also the ones who aren't as reckless. Say that in

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>a bad way, but also could be a good thing.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 3>They control things a lot back there. He makes very

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 3>few mistakes and guy's gonna watch them a lot by

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>example too, just how he carries himself each week, how

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 3>he takes care of his body. And I think he's

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 3>a guy that not just the secondary looks up to,

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 3>but everyone on our team.

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 4>Otem is a safety backup safety now and he's Hawkins

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 4>on the practice squad. Is that is that a little

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 4>thin in terms of depth for safety.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Or is that doable?

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:53.359
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 3>It's I mean usual. Most people in the NFL have

0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 3>four safeties, some might have five, some might have but

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 3>a high percentage of four. So when you lose one,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>it's always an issue. And we got a guy in

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 3>practice squad who you just said, and we've got other

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 3>guys we can cross train, so short week, we'll deal

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 3>with it right now. But something that we might have

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 3>to dresses this year goes corners.

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 4>Can they step in in a pinch and play safety

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 4>type positions?

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean someone's got to go there, you know. So

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 3>when you lose certain guys, you got to always have

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 3>that plan, just like at O line when you lose

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>a certain amount of guys, Just like a quarterback when

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 3>you lose a certain amount. So you know, there's no

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 3>third strings on the NFL field. It's ones and some

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 3>guys have two's, but you know all those twos are

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>also playing special teams. So that's the whole challenges this

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 3>year goes.

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, she used the UCLA running back on the

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 4>screen game.

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 3>How'd you guys feel like you defended the screen last

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 3>week against Tampa?

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And and what do you think of the UCLA.

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Rookie running back? He's good, good back, done good and

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>in the games this year. We really thought he was

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 3>a good player coming out of college. He's good at

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 3>running the ball, good at screens. We got better last week.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I thought it screens not to be confused with did

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 3>very good. So something I know will keep seeing and

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 3>we gotta keep challenging. You see the Seahawks run defense,

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 3>you guys did pretty well against the last last year

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 3>or so, how's it changed at all? And how is

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.679
<v Speaker 3>your rush rushing attack with? I mean, there are always

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 3>a challenge to run the ball against. It usually takes

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 3>till the fourth quarter to and you got to break

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 3>a long one to ever make it look like you

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 3>did good. It's they usually commit to that pretty well.

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Up there.

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 3>It's twice as hard as anywhere else. Cadence is a

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 3>huge issue. They would use it to their advantage a

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>big time and it's hard to get it going. So uh,

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, you got to get a big one to

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 3>have that, which we have gotten a couple of times,

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's usually not till late. And then I usually

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>look at getting the run game going to kind of

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 3>how we do when we're not running the ball, because

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 3>that has to do a stand on the field, moving

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 3>the chains, and that's what allows you eventually to get

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 3>the run game going. From the end of the day,

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 3>you desire to win or competitor, but you will see

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 3>you knows.

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 4>During the game, you guys might be a mouse and

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 4>he's kinda laughing on the.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Sideline or or or joker around.

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 4>Like initially when you.

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 3>First saw that where that we were like, what is

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 3>with this guy? Like is this guy wired at differently?

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 3>He was more nervous his rookie year. He wasn't as talkative,

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>he didn't have the ponytail yet then, and I didn't

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>have as many tattoos. But no, Kittle's just always a

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 3>positive guy. I mean, if if he's talking and he

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 3>does a lot after his rookie year, that's always positive.

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's always gonna be upbeating stuff. I love that,

0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 3>cause that's him. Sometimes I don't enjoy it the most

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 3>were I practice and things. I don't think there's much

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 3>to be positive about. And I can see him going

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 3>around just being all positive like he is. But then

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 3>you realize that's who he is and he's always like that.

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>So guys count on him for that, and I think

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 3>it helps him, helps him stay at a certain level

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 3>and makes him be a leader in his way to

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 3>our guys.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh, look at the the Thursday night Seattle game almost

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a year orgo compared to this one with Brock. Just

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>how valuable was that experience ram to go in and

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>plant such a tough environments.

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's it's real valuable.

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I Mean he's been to some loud places too, but

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Seattle is always right there is the loudest, if not

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 3>tied for it. And uh, you can always tell people

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 3>how loud it is, but they don't know until they

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 3>go there. And he went there, so he knows what

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about. So I don't have to stress importance

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 3>up to of it to him. Uh, he's gonna be

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 3>doing it to our guys for these two days.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned the other day, allowing the guys to sleep

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>in this morning on Monday. Is there any shines behind that?

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Is there an amount of sleep you want the guys

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to have?

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there is, but I don't. I don't memorize those

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.839
<v Speaker 3>things or injury reports for you guys, cause I don't

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 3>want stuff to go out that actually I need to know.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 3>So I try to let them get as much to

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.079
<v Speaker 3>sleep as possible. That's why we push back our schedules

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>and everything. Stuff that we didn't used to talk about

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 3>back in the day, but they have been for about

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 3>the last ten years, and it's very evident, and I

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 3>know we feel it as coaches. You can see it

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:05.959
<v Speaker 3>on players, and it's home.

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 4>There's just not.

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 3>Enough time here. So when you cram everything in, it

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.199
<v Speaker 3>might make you feel good, but then the guys are

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.440
<v Speaker 3>dead for that game, and the best way to recover

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 3>is sleep. And we're gonna do that as much as

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>we can, all right, guys,
