1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Seahawks Insiders getting you Ready for 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks Football every Sunday, presented by Delta, the official airline 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. Now here's your host, Gen Mueller. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: Well, it's mostly every Sunday that we are getting you 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: ready for football. Occasionally it is a Thursday game that 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: we are talking about. That is the case today, which 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: also means John Boyle. I say this every single time. 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: I have no idea what day of. 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 3: The week it is. None. 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 4: No, I get very confused with these weeks every time. 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: Terrible. 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're combining elements of Wednesday. Today's actually Wednesday. 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: But try, don't even try. We're not able to figure 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: this out. 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 5: Media wise. 16 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 4: It's like a Friday, travel wise, if you're going to Arizona, 17 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 4: would be Saturday. 18 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: And do you guys get the idea of how confusing 19 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 2: this is. I know it's very confusing, So let's just 20 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 2: skip out. 21 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 4: I'd get on an airplane when it's time too, And 22 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 4: I hope I end up in a football game tomorrow. 23 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: That seems like something we should both be doing. 24 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 5: Law the ambitions I have. I just hope to. 25 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 3: Make it on a short week. 26 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: Look, it doesn't give us a whole lot of time 27 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: to break down what we saw on Sunday, doesn't give 28 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: the team a whole lot of time to look ahead 29 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: to the Cardinals. But I don't know if you have 30 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: to do as much work this week on Arizona. It's 31 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: a division opponent, you kind of know what you're getting 32 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: in the Cardinals, right. 33 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's one of the saving graces of these 34 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: Thursday games is their divisional games. So it's you know, 35 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 4: you're you're prepping for a team that you've seen plenty of. So, 36 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the coaches still have a lot of 37 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: work to do. Is Cooper Cup talked about like they 38 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 4: just don't sleep much this week and they get all 39 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 4: their stuff in. But yeah, it'd be a lot easier 40 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 4: than if you're playing some AFC team you haven't seen 41 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 4: four years. 42 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: Well, we are going to get into some of those 43 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: matchups here in just a second, But first, one of 44 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: the plays of the game on Sunday is worth revisiting 45 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: because it is always interesting after people have a chance 46 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: to truly see and study the film, Like we could 47 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: talk about Tory Horton and the ninety five yard punt 48 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: return for a touchdown after the game, but it's entirely 49 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: different when you hear a coach with a little bit 50 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: more time to break it down. 51 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, he got started. He got it started, and there's 52 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 6: a couple there's some other great decisions on that play 53 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 6: that you know, guys are in position where they could 54 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 6: have got a block in the back or can't think 55 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 6: of the word, but like blocking back towards your goal 56 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 6: on yeah, blindside block. Thanks where they they made smart 57 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 6: decisions those in those moments and obviously was a heck 58 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 6: of a return by Tory. 59 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting. Right after the game, Mike kind of 60 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: said like he's eager to go look at it and 61 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: see who made the plays because you know, for that 62 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 4: play to happen, you don't get a ninety five yard 63 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: return without a lot of guys taking part in it. 64 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 4: But it can be hard just live on the sideline 65 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 4: to know what happened. So it is it is cool 66 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: to go back and look at you know, Chess Surratt 67 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: had the huge block and me and I Pritchett kind 68 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 4: of got things started, made a really nice play. The 69 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 4: position he's in, it's really easy to get a block 70 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 4: in the back, and he manages kind of shield the 71 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: guy out and actually took out two of their guys 72 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 4: because they tripped on each other and that sprung it. 73 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 4: And then you have that combination of good block and 74 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 4: then as Mike mcdonald' said, like that discipline to know 75 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: when you can block a guy and when you just 76 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: kind of need to get in his way, because some 77 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 4: of those if you tried to throw a block, you're 78 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 4: going to get either the blindside block like Mike said, 79 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: where it's a fifteen penalty, or just even a block 80 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 4: in the back. But you see, if you actually play, 81 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 4: there's a few or guys just intentionally sort of run 82 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: across a guy but don't touch him. 83 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think was it d Anthony Bell that 84 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: was his convoy into the end zone? I think, And 85 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: here's what I was going to say is you had 86 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: a lot of guys on there who are getting meaningful 87 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: snaps on special teams, but maybe we're not anticipated being 88 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: a big part of special teams. 89 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: Right, Like when you go into training. 90 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: Camp, you've got guys that are stepping in and filling 91 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: roles nicely. D Anthony Bell would be one of those 92 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: chests or wouldn't be another one? And I thought it 93 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: was interesting. Talking to Drek Young, who was part of 94 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: another big special teams playing a couple of big offensive plays, 95 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, we saw what the Saints were 96 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: doing on film, so we were absolutely prepared for some 97 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: of those looks. 98 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: But also the fact that New Orleans was so good. 99 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: On special teams last year, it just kind of lit 100 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: a fire and that was their personal battle last week 101 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: to make sure that special teams stood out. 102 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it did. 103 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: Two weeks in a row. I mean, score touchdowns on 104 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: special teams two straight games. That's a good winning formula. 105 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: And one thing that's interesting that you mentioned, like different guys, 106 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: that's to me one of the most underrated parts of 107 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: a special team's coach's job is your personnel available to 108 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 4: you every week can change drastically based on injuries at 109 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 4: totally different positions. Like oh, this core special teamer for 110 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 4: me is now starting at safety and I don't have 111 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: him for all these plays. So a cool part of 112 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 4: that job that Jay Harbo has to jog like week 113 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 4: to week or just who's active any given day. 114 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a great point. Also, I don't what 115 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: are we going to do with Michael Dixon during games? 116 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: What are we going to do with punters in general, John, 117 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: because this actually crossed. This is how much punters are 118 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: not making the news right now in the NFL. This 119 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: actually crossed on a news email that I received. Did 120 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: you realiz that across the NFL teams are punting just 121 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: three point six five times per game? It is the 122 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: fewest in league history. 123 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 3: Wow, I did not realize. 124 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't see Michael Dixon. I saw Michael Dison. 125 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: He was on the sideline next to. 126 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 4: Me, but holy counts, he had a lot of holding 127 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: to do, a lot of They scored on seven story 128 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 4: drives open the. 129 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: Game, and he talks to his wife, and his wife said, 130 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: how was your day at work? 131 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: And he said, I did a lot of holding. Yeah. 132 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: I mean, look, I think he'd be the first to 133 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: tell you if he's not having a busy day. He's 134 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: happy about it because that's good for the team. That 135 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: is interesting that the punting being down that much. I 136 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 4: wonder how much of that is just teams being more 137 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: aggressive on fourth down, like choosing to punt few times. 138 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: I think that the new kickoff rules affecting too, because 139 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 4: you teams are getting shorter fields, the starting field position shorter, 140 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 4: so you're getting in a field goal range or that 141 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: midfield go for it range a lot easier than you 142 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: used to when you're starting back at the twenty or 143 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: the twenty five. 144 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so you nailed two of the three reasons that 145 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: were listed as for the fewest number of punts is 146 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: because field goal kickers are more accurate from longer distances, 147 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: which we have already seen in the first three weeks. 148 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: Of the season. 149 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: You're more going to try a sixty yarder instead of 150 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: a short punt. 151 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: I feel like this is something we can deep dive 152 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: on in future weeks. 153 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 4: It sounds like some fun nerdy special team stuff. I 154 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 4: can't wait. 155 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: Okay, it'll be an entire episode special. That's exactly right. 156 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: Maybe we could get interviews with the folder the snapper kicked. 157 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: Okay, that'll be great. It'll be a little crowded. Okay. 158 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: Look, you talk about finding talent and the talent that 159 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 2: is available to you. It is something that John Schneider 160 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: has had to do because of injuries, specifically in the secondary. 161 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Darien Kendrick is not just a flash in the pan. No, 162 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: he has done this now back to back weeks, and 163 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: somehow John Schneider keeps working as magic to find guys like. 164 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 6: This shout out John and the crew man. I can't 165 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,039 Speaker 6: take you through how they're doing it every day, but 166 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 6: I mean it's a I think it's the same mentality 167 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 6: of we're kind of into everything and we're chasing everything, 168 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 6: and we're always looking to make our team better. Just 169 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 6: really I appreciate that that mentality, you know, and and 170 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 6: us learning how we both operate and being all in together. 171 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 6: I think that's how you make those types of types 172 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 6: of things happen. 173 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the obviously, the big trades, the big 174 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: money signings are the ones that get the headlines. But 175 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 4: to me, what really makes a big difference on like 176 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: teams going from you know, good to grade or not 177 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 4: so good to okay, Like it's that roster depth of 178 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: like you're gonna lose guys during the season. You hope 179 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 4: not to, but you do not get through an NFL 180 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 4: season fully healthy. 181 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 3: So it's finding those. 182 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 4: Guys that hit the waiver wire or that are available 183 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 4: for the you know, random seventh round conditional pick that 184 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: just pop up, and knowing those guys can help you. 185 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: And then I think it's it's a great combination of 186 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: the front office of value and talent, and then the 187 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 4: coaching staff developing it and this kind of it's always 188 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: been a focus of the special teams. I'm sorry the practice, 189 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 4: but I feel like the way they've emphasized it these 190 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 4: last couple of years and with the rules in terms 191 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: of elevating guys, those guys kind actually play like this 192 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 4: whole I talk about seventy all the time. You hear 193 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: this out of John Schneider and Mike McDonald's mouth, and 194 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: the guys have their shirts ready, squad shirts with the 195 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 4: seventy on the back. Like that kind of that gets 196 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: some guys heads. It sticks of like, hey, you know, 197 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 4: we're all competing here, we all have a chance, and 198 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 4: we've seen it pay off with some guys stepping into 199 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 4: big roles and thriving. 200 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: Well, wouldn't you say that about Tayo Katta too, Right, 201 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: Like he's spent a lot of time on the practice squide, 202 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: he spent a lot of time on special teams, And 203 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: it's this whole idea of I know that when I 204 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: get my chance, they are going to give me my chance. 205 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 3: That's the other part of it. 206 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that matter, Like it's a great way to 207 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: keep guys motivated because if you're on a team where 208 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: this you know, practice squad guys just they're practice squad 209 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: and that's it. And maybe that some teams don't even 210 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: I don't think travel. They're practically just about to say yeah. 211 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: And when when you're traveling, when you know, hey, I 212 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: can earn it.

Some of the 254 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: notes that I had taken coming out of Sunday's game 255 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: under pressure on just five of eighteen dropbacks. They are 256 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: doing amazing things in pass pro. That is the third 257 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: fewest of his career and his passer rating second highest 258 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: of his career. 259 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 5: Coming out of that Saintes. 260 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: Game, he was perfect until his last two You had 261 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 4: the perfect rating and then through two incomplete passes and 262 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: what ended up being his final drive because they pulled 263 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: him and a bunch of other starters. So yeah, I 264 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 4: mean he's been he's been outstanding that the first game, 265 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: the whole offense was kind of fine this way and 266 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: scuffling a little bit. But you look at what he 267 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 4: and the passing you have done last two weeks. So 268 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 4: it's been really impressive. 269 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: I do still think though, and he said that this week. 270 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: I do still think scuffling is not the right word 271 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: to say. After three weeks, they are still trying to. 272 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: Fig find themselves. 273 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: No, no, I know, but I do think, and we 274 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: touched on this after week one. You kind of assume 275 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 2: that it all comes together like this. Look, they didn't 276 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: play together in the preseason. Yeah, by design. Now you've 277 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 2: got three games in, it's like you just went through 278 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: the preseason. Also, every team in the NFL is in 279 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 2: the same spot. So I would expect after week three, 280 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: everybody kind of takes a big jump forward, right when 281 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: you've got a sample size. But here's what I'm wondering 282 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: with Sam. That front for the Cardinals actually looks pretty good. 283 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: I mean, that defense, those numbers, what is it. They're 284 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: allowing seventy six rushing yards a game. That's that's the 285 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: fourth fewest in the league. You're going to have to 286 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: have Sam pass. Right, You're gonna want to run the ball, 287 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: but you're going to need him. 288 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 4: To pass, oh for sure. Yeah, I mean they look 289 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 4: the Sax aren't going to give up on the run 290 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: gaming as anybody that's been clear that their numbers aren't 291 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: where they want yet, but they're they're getting their attempts. They're, 292 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: you know, using that to set up play action, so 293 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: they're not going to abandon that. But unless something really 294 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 4: goes sideways for the Cardinals, I would think if you're 295 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: going to move the ball in this game, Sam's gonna 296 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 4: have to have a good game well. 297 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: And it is a good deal that he is really 298 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: accurate at throwing on the run escaping pressure, to the 299 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: point that I asked Derek Young about it and he 300 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: said he could be a dual threat quarterback if he 301 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: wanted to. He just chooses to be more of a 302 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: pocket passer. But boy is it nice when he can 303 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: execute on the move. 304 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 6: We knew that he was good throwing on the move 305 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 6: and he was comfortable doing that, and that's obviously a 306 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 6: big part of our system, so that that played a role. 307 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 6: But being able to go both ways helps, you know, 308 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 6: in terms of tendencies and pulling up boots, things like that. 309 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 6: You got to play everything, honest, does that put a 310 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 6: defensive court enter specific mind? 311 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 4: If you know what the quarterback can do back. 312 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 6: Well, anytime you have to play it straight play plays 313 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 6: straight up and just play the play. Now you're kind 314 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 6: of evening the odds. So advantage offense in that situation. 315 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean early that game, two of his big 316 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 4: throws were you know, he escaped very first drop back, 317 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 4: he gets pressure, escapes that rolling left, great throw on 318 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 4: the move. Later that drive play action designed rolling left. 319 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: It's JSN for the touchdown. So that's you know, again, 320 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 4: you don't think of him as a mobile athletic quarterback 321 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 4: just because he's never been a guy that runs for 322 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: a ton of yards. But he's really good on the move. 323 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: They I mean they talked about that when they signed 324 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 4: him back in the free agency. Is like they really 325 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 4: like in this offense what he can do throwing on 326 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 4: the run, and he's been good at us so far. 327 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: Well that running game, certainly you mentioned it. They want 328 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: to get it going to be a little bit more complimentary. 329 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: The numbers indicate that they're not having much success. Look, 330 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: they're averaging three point three yards of carry that is 331 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: twenty ninth in the NFL. They are twenty first in 332 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: rushing yards per game, so it's a little bit better. 333 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: They have also attempted to run the ball the six 334 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: most times in the league, so, like you said, it 335 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: is part of the game plan. Here's how I'm reading this. 336 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: You told everybody that you were going to run the ball. 337 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: You're committed to running the ball ununtil I have to 338 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: stop you or do something else. I'm just going to 339 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: stack the box and make you run the ball and 340 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: do what you said you were. 341 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: Going to do. 342 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, but guess what you get teams to stack the box. 343 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 4: That's a great way to have Sam Darnold complete seventy 344 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 4: percent of his passes while also does he lead the 345 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 4: league in yards perttempt he's up there. If he does 346 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: right up there to be to be you know, second 347 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: in that category while also complete seventy percent of your passes, that's. 348 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 5: A him playing really well. 349 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: But be Yeah, this scheme, I think, you know, you 350 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 4: put a full back and two tight ends on the 351 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: field a whole bunch. Teams have to respect that and 352 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 4: you start getting heavier box counts and create an opportunities 353 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: for guys like Jaysend and Cooper cup. 354 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: I will take it. 355 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: And the Cardinals are averaging six excuse me, the Cardinals 356 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: are allowing about two hundred and sixty four passing yards 357 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: a game. So again, I will that. On the other 358 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: side of the ball, I feel like we know what 359 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is as a quarterback, but he is going 360 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: to be without James Connor, yeah, his running back, and 361 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: that is a terrible injury. But I don't really know 362 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: what that does or if that changes any of the Seahawks' 363 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: calculations for Thursday. 364 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll have to see. I mean, I think as 365 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 4: a general rule, when you're planning for a team, even 366 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: if they lose a guy, you still have to prepare 367 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 4: for what they do. They have other running backs they 368 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 4: are going to try to run the ball. But yet 369 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: you can't replace James Connor. He's such an important, no, 370 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 4: not just player, but he's a leader on that team 371 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 4: of entering guy. So it's really unfortunate for him and 372 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: for them then he went down. But you know, I 373 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 4: think we're Seahawks are still going to have to respect 374 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: what they do. And then Kyler Murray is such a 375 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: wild card. When he runs around, he's just so elusive 376 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: and fast. So it's, uh, it's you know, they present their. 377 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: Challenges for sure, they do. 378 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: And on the offensive side of things, they are averaging 379 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 2: about one hundred and sixty five yards passing. 380 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 3: They are rushing for over one hundred yards a game. 381 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Again, that could change just kind of based on their 382 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: situation there at running back. Here's one of the things 383 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: that I liked about Sunday's game for the Seahawks that 384 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: plays into that Thursday night matchup. Because of the score 385 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: in the game, and because a couple of guys went out, 386 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: whether they need they got nicked up, they needed a 387 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: little bit of attention. You got a chance to give 388 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: other guys some reps with meaning. 389 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: I saw Jared Ivy out there. 390 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: A little bit and we saw Mike Morris, yeah, get 391 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 2: some snaps and actually like show up in a way 392 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: that we hadn't seen before. It's nice to have that 393 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 2: kind of depth and rotation, but it's also just nice 394 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: to see him produce. 395 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 6: Mike had a really good game yesterday. Is really kind 396 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 6: of responded to the competition that's created in his room, 397 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 6: and we expect him to keep going. And look, that's 398 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 6: why we create competition, is this, You're going to get 399 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 6: the best version of guys. Your team's going to be better. 400 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 6: And and Mike's kind of living proof of that. And 401 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 6: then it's happening on a lot of positions on our 402 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 6: team right now. 403 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 404 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: I mean we talked earlier about the secondary depth, but 405 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: that's you know, when you get those that rotation deep 406 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: up front, that helps defensive. I mean we've talked so 407 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 4: much about you know, Leo, Jaren Reed, Byron Murphy, those 408 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 4: guys and the edge guys. 409 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: Are I mean, they're playing their butts off. 410 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 4: That might be collectively the best thing this team's doing 411 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 4: right now is a play upfront. But for the course 412 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 4: of a season, you need to be deep there. Just 413 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 4: keep guys fresh or you know, if injuries do come 414 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 4: up and Mike Morris when he's gotten his chances, he's flashed. 415 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: I mean, he had a nice tackle for loss in 416 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 4: the game. He's been a guy, he's been a pretty 417 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 4: good special teams player when they give them the chance. 418 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 3: He's he's he looks so. 419 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 5: Big out there. 420 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 3: He does, but he's a good athlete. 421 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 4: But like, man, you see him out on kickoff, You're like, 422 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 4: that's a big dude out there. But he's you know, 423 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 4: he's I like a guy like that, who's you know, 424 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 4: he didn't come in right away and maybe have the 425 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 4: impact he wanted or the team on. But he's he's 426 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: fought hard and he's carved out a role that I 427 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 4: think could grow as the season goes along. 428 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: He might also be the quietest member of that defensive line, 429 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 2: would you agree, Like soft spoken, just very and he 430 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: is so delightful to talk to. 431 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: But personality wise us that front. 432 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some big personalities and that that tends to 433 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: go with also just some big people. Also, everything is 434 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 2: bigger when you're talking about. 435 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 3: That line and the trends playing it really is intimidating 436 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 3: but fun. 437 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: But we have got to get to two things we 438 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: need to see for a Seahawks win, but we'll do 439 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: that right after this. 440 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks Fans twelve status is back benefiting you this season 441 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: when passing yard gets you one mile. All Seahawks season long, 442 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 1: twelve status members get priority boarding out of seatach All 443 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: Seahawks season log and twelve Status members get a twelve 444 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: percent discount at the Seahawks Prochoum on the twelfth of 445 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: each month. 446 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 5: Sign up now at twelve status dot com. 447 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: Okay, John, it is a short week. I know it's 448 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: not very much time to prepare. I tend to focus 449 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: on these weeks. I'm just what the Seahawks need to do. 450 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: Like I don't even I don't. I'm not even looking 451 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 2: at numbers from Arizona. I'm not trying to pick the 452 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: best matchup. 453 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: I'm just going to focus on the Seahawks. All right, 454 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: you want to go first? You go ahead, go first? 455 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: Great, because you might say one of mine, and I 456 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: don't want him to take one of mine. 457 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: Okay, let's go back to the run game. 458 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: I know that they are not getting the yards, but 459 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 2: keep those attempts up right, make sure that you were 460 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: running the ball. 461 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 3: Kennedy. 462 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: Paulamalu was telling all of the running backs this last week. Look, 463 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: I know it's frustrating, stick with the process, make sure 464 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 2: your pad level is where it needs to be, and 465 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: you are ultimately going to end up finding yards. So 466 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: don't get so frustrated that you move away from that. 467 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 2: I don't think Clint Kubiak will, but I do want. 468 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 3: To see. 469 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: Twenty rushing attempts, maybe twenty twenty five rushing tips on 470 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: that front. And when it comes to the defensive side 471 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: of things, I'm just going to say, team wide, limit 472 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: the penalties. You've done a really good job of doing 473 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 2: that all year, but fatigue is going to set in 474 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: a little bit sooner you're on the road. Just minimize 475 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: any of any of that extracurricular and penalties. 476 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: Don't need the third down defensive back getting hands in 477 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 4: the face kind of thing. 478 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 3: No exactly. 479 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 4: I always called that so farway I it's so frustrating. 480 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 4: Plays way over here and you my hand touched his 481 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: face mask. 482 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: Also, out of all of the things that you could 483 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: do to somebody on the football field, putting your hands 484 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: in their face is quite possibly the least violent and 485 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 2: the least disruptive thing you could do. 486 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say that. I'm just going to say that, Okay. 487 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 4: All right, I want to see the protection continue for 488 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 4: Sam Darnold because this is, you know, maybe the best 489 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 4: front the Seahawks have seen so far this year. 490 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: Well. 491 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 4: San Francisco also is a very good front. But yeah, 492 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 4: let's say no more than one sack and keep the 493 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 4: pressures down, because again, I think you're gonna need to 494 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: throw the ball to win this game, So keep the 495 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 4: pressure down the other side. Keep Kyler Murray from being 496 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 4: with those legs. I don't think I just said the 497 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 4: forty nine ers. 498 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: Well, I mean we are talking about division. 499 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 4: They just played each other. You know, I'm overthinking this. 500 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 4: I don't think the Cardinals are probably going to be 501 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 4: the sixty. Rundy has been awesome this year, three point 502 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: two of cary for opponents. I don't think without James Connor, 503 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 4: they're going to be able to run the ball super 504 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: well with their traditional run game.
