Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Injuries we got Burford knee, won't practice, Aaron Banks toe limited, chamarging,
Speaker 2: Charles shoulder limited, Ray Ray rib limited, Hardgrave thumb limited.
Speaker 3: And that's it.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Aaron Banks. Does he have any chance?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: What's the next man up situation for right guard?
Speaker 1: Go there?
Speaker 3: We got some guys on practice squad and we just
Speaker 3: brought a guy in.
Speaker 4: Or no.
Speaker 3: I think he would be all right if he played Sunday,
Speaker 3: But it's a question here on Thursday and can't go today,
Speaker 3: so it's worsome.
Speaker 4: Is the arch Is he in the building yet?
Speaker 3: I am not sure?
Speaker 4: How do you go about getting him up to speed
Speaker 4: and any chance that you can suit up.
Speaker 3: On there's an outside chance, but I mean but being
Speaker 3: a short week, will most likely go different traction. But
Speaker 3: got a lot of moving parts with that.
Speaker 1: Practice had right guard today and.
Speaker 4: You'd mentioned on Friday that the plan was to sign
Speaker 4: Jason Brett to the practice squad.
Speaker 3: Is that still no, it has not happened.
Speaker 4: You anticipated happened.
Speaker 3: We'd like it too, but not sure yet. The coaches,
Speaker 3: you and the coaches stay over here after the game
Speaker 3: of the night, are in preparation of Seattle?
Speaker 1: Or do you guys get to go home.
Speaker 3: No, we we enjoy Sunday night knowing how miserable the
Speaker 3: next few days are gonna be. We've been here since
Speaker 3: we came in Monday morning, but we enjoyed Sunday for
Speaker 3: a little bit, got to bed early, and aren't gonna
Speaker 3: look back to after the game on Thursday.
Speaker 4: Said that that sometimes the game plan a Thursday after
Speaker 4: Sunday sometimes is a little bit more condensed.
Speaker 1: Is that accurate on both sides.
Speaker 2: Of the football you like it to be.
Speaker 3: I think it's different on both sides. You'd love to
Speaker 3: make it condensed. Sometimes you don't have the time to
Speaker 3: make the decisions. You know, you got a bunch of
Speaker 3: plays you like, and you don't know which you like.
Speaker 3: To go through plays for a long time to make
Speaker 3: sure they're all detailed and which ones to go with,
Speaker 3: and sometimes you don't have time for that. So sometimes
Speaker 3: you put in the extra ones and you decide over
Speaker 3: the next forty eight hours which ones to take out
Speaker 3: and keep in. So we've done them both ways. But
Speaker 3: it's it's always tough. Guys are familiar with It's main thing.
Speaker 1: Number to show you.
Speaker 4: Guys usually deep a little bit more than you have
Speaker 4: in the past. Is that a product of you're dialing
Speaker 4: those up a little bit more and belief in Brock
Speaker 4: or is Brock taking those shots more or is it
Speaker 4: maybe combination.
Speaker 3: I just I think when the looks are there, he
Speaker 3: takes them, and so I think the looks have been
Speaker 3: there at times, and when they have been there, he
Speaker 3: really doesn't miss them and done a good job of
Speaker 3: coming down with them.
Speaker 4: Are any difference in the way teams are defending you
Speaker 4: since you've kind of started to.
Speaker 3: Establish that, the more areas of the fields you hit,
Speaker 3: the more areas they got to defend. So it's try
Speaker 3: to balance all those out and try to throw where
Speaker 3: they're not and Broxs in a real good job with that.
Speaker 4: Carroll coach the team.
Speaker 3: Just the style they play with. They're so competitive, it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what the record is. Where you play offensive
Speaker 3: and special teams, they all go extremely hard. They practice hard.
Speaker 3: I think, just the style of their play and when
Speaker 3: you watch the Salent Silent tape, it's just as close
Speaker 3: to ours as anyone else. I think we're very similar
Speaker 3: in the style our teams play with.
Speaker 4: All the biggest challenge of Mett, Cap and.
Speaker 3: Lockett, what's that what's.
Speaker 4: The biggest challenge that met Cap and Locket.
Speaker 3: I mean dk just how explosive he is. He's in
Speaker 3: the size of them to be that explosive with that
Speaker 3: size and be able to drop your hips and run
Speaker 3: all the routes. It's had two guys I've ever been
Speaker 3: around like that, and one was Julio Jones, and now
Speaker 3: there was Andre Johnson. And this guy thinks a couple
Speaker 3: of inches taller and about twenty eight pounds bigger, so
Speaker 3: it shows you how talented he is. And then Lockett,
Speaker 3: I think it's been one of the more underrated receivers
Speaker 3: over the last ten years. He's so consistent what he does.
Speaker 3: He's got such a savviness on how to find the
Speaker 3: zones when a lean away from certain man looks and stuff,
Speaker 3: and very consistent receiver. Gina has done some good things.
Speaker 3: Gino's He's earned this role to get to where he's
Speaker 3: been these last two years. Gino was really good at,
Speaker 3: you know, kind of attacking the defense, take what they
Speaker 3: give them, the goals to hopefully make them one dimensional
Speaker 3: and try to get them to have to make some
Speaker 3: bigger plays and not just stay within the scheme. How
Speaker 3: he defense Oh yeah, it was. I mean, it would
Speaker 3: have been fun to watch him these last twenty four
Speaker 3: hours if we weren't having to go against him. But
Speaker 3: he was as advertised. He's he's a good player. He's
Speaker 3: all around the ball. When you study the run game,
Speaker 3: you see him a lot. When you study first and
Speaker 3: second down, you see him a lot. When you get
Speaker 3: to third down and watch coverages, you see him a lot.
Speaker 3: So it's every aspect of the game he has an
Speaker 3: impact on and a really good football player who is
Speaker 3: also extremely talented.
Speaker 4: If you observed or a scene from Sean Gibsons working
Speaker 4: with young players like dire Brown to help them whenever
Speaker 4: they get their chance to be able to step it seamlessly.
Speaker 3: Gifts just got such a poise back there. It's kind
Speaker 3: of Gip in the back end and Fred in the middle,
Speaker 3: and their ages are a little different, but they're both
Speaker 3: the the the dads of the group, I say, with
Speaker 3: Get being a little more senior than Fred, but they're
Speaker 3: also the ones who aren't as reckless. Say that in
Speaker 3: a bad way, but also could be a good thing.
Speaker 3: They control things a lot back there. He makes very
Speaker 3: few mistakes and guy's gonna watch them a lot by
Speaker 3: example too, just how he carries himself each week, how
Speaker 3: he takes care of his body. And I think he's
Speaker 3: a guy that not just the secondary looks up to,
Speaker 3: but everyone on our team.
Speaker 4: Otem is a safety backup safety now and he's Hawkins
Speaker 4: on the practice squad. Is that is that a little
Speaker 4: thin in terms of depth for safety.
Speaker 1: Or is that doable?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: It's I mean usual. Most people in the NFL have
Speaker 3: four safeties, some might have five, some might have but
Speaker 3: a high percentage of four. So when you lose one,
Speaker 3: it's always an issue. And we got a guy in
Speaker 3: practice squad who you just said, and we've got other
Speaker 3: guys we can cross train, so short week, we'll deal
Speaker 3: with it right now. But something that we might have
Speaker 3: to dresses this year goes corners.
Speaker 4: Can they step in in a pinch and play safety
Speaker 4: type positions?
Speaker 3: I mean someone's got to go there, you know. So
Speaker 3: when you lose certain guys, you got to always have
Speaker 3: that plan, just like at O line when you lose
Speaker 3: a certain amount of guys, Just like a quarterback when
Speaker 3: you lose a certain amount. So you know, there's no
Speaker 3: third strings on the NFL field. It's ones and some
Speaker 3: guys have two's, but you know all those twos are
Speaker 3: also playing special teams. So that's the whole challenges this
Speaker 3: year goes.
Speaker 4: I mean, she used the UCLA running back on the
Speaker 4: screen game.
Speaker 3: How'd you guys feel like you defended the screen last
Speaker 3: week against Tampa?
Speaker 1: And and what do you think of the UCLA.
Speaker 3: Rookie running back? He's good, good back, done good and
Speaker 3: in the games this year. We really thought he was
Speaker 3: a good player coming out of college. He's good at
Speaker 3: running the ball, good at screens. We got better last week.
Speaker 3: I thought it screens not to be confused with did
Speaker 3: very good. So something I know will keep seeing and
Speaker 3: we gotta keep challenging. You see the Seahawks run defense,
Speaker 3: you guys did pretty well against the last last year
Speaker 3: or so, how's it changed at all? And how is
Speaker 3: your rush rushing attack with? I mean, there are always
Speaker 3: a challenge to run the ball against. It usually takes
Speaker 3: till the fourth quarter to and you got to break
Speaker 3: a long one to ever make it look like you
Speaker 3: did good. It's they usually commit to that pretty well.
Speaker 4: Up there.
Speaker 3: It's twice as hard as anywhere else. Cadence is a
Speaker 3: huge issue. They would use it to their advantage a
Speaker 3: big time and it's hard to get it going. So uh,
Speaker 3: you know, you got to get a big one to
Speaker 3: have that, which we have gotten a couple of times,
Speaker 3: but it's usually not till late. And then I usually
Speaker 3: look at getting the run game going to kind of
Speaker 3: how we do when we're not running the ball, because
Speaker 3: that has to do a stand on the field, moving
Speaker 3: the chains, and that's what allows you eventually to get
Speaker 3: the run game going. From the end of the day,
Speaker 3: you desire to win or competitor, but you will see
Speaker 3: you knows.
Speaker 4: During the game, you guys might be a mouse and
Speaker 4: he's kinda laughing on the.
Speaker 1: Sideline or or or joker around.
Speaker 4: Like initially when you.
Speaker 3: First saw that where that we were like, what is
Speaker 3: with this guy? Like is this guy wired at differently?
Speaker 3: He was more nervous his rookie year. He wasn't as talkative,
Speaker 3: he didn't have the ponytail yet then, and I didn't
Speaker 3: have as many tattoos. But no, Kittle's just always a
Speaker 3: positive guy. I mean, if if he's talking and he
Speaker 3: does a lot after his rookie year, that's always positive.
Speaker 3: I mean he's always gonna be upbeating stuff. I love that,
Speaker 3: cause that's him. Sometimes I don't enjoy it the most
Speaker 3: were I practice and things. I don't think there's much
Speaker 3: to be positive about. And I can see him going
Speaker 3: around just being all positive like he is. But then
Speaker 3: you realize that's who he is and he's always like that.
Speaker 3: So guys count on him for that, and I think
Speaker 3: it helps him, helps him stay at a certain level
Speaker 3: and makes him be a leader in his way to
Speaker 3: our guys.
Speaker 1: Uh, look at the the Thursday night Seattle game almost
Speaker 1: a year orgo compared to this one with Brock. Just
Speaker 1: how valuable was that experience ram to go in and
Speaker 1: plant such a tough environments.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's it's real valuable.
Speaker 3: I Mean he's been to some loud places too, but
Speaker 3: Seattle is always right there is the loudest, if not
Speaker 3: tied for it. And uh, you can always tell people
Speaker 3: how loud it is, but they don't know until they
Speaker 3: go there. And he went there, so he knows what
Speaker 3: we're talking about. So I don't have to stress importance
Speaker 3: up to of it to him. Uh, he's gonna be
Speaker 3: doing it to our guys for these two days.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the other day, allowing the guys to sleep
Speaker 1: in this morning on Monday. Is there any shines behind that?
Speaker 1: Is there an amount of sleep you want the guys
Speaker 1: to have?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is, but I don't. I don't memorize those
Speaker 3: things or injury reports for you guys, cause I don't
Speaker 3: want stuff to go out that actually I need to know.
Speaker 3: So I try to let them get as much to
Speaker 3: sleep as possible. That's why we push back our schedules
Speaker 3: and everything. Stuff that we didn't used to talk about
Speaker 3: back in the day, but they have been for about
Speaker 3: the last ten years, and it's very evident, and I
Speaker 3: know we feel it as coaches. You can see it
Speaker 3: on players, and it's home.
Speaker 4: There's just not.
Speaker 3: Enough time here. So when you cram everything in, it
Speaker 3: might make you feel good, but then the guys are
Speaker 3: dead for that game, and the best way to recover
Speaker 3: is sleep. And we're gonna do that as much as
Speaker 3: we can, all right, guys,
