1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: This is the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus, and

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Stacy Ross, a two hour Seahawks show getting you ready

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: for Week three. We're gonna have Gabe Jackson joining us.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear from the head coach himself, Pete Carroll.

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some analysts, including the voice of the Seahawks,

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Steve Rabel. But before we get to any of it,

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt. But we gotta look back. We got

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: to look back at week to the Seattle Seahawks lost

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: in a battle against the forty nine Ers, their first

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: road game of the season. Forty nine Ers take this one,

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: twenty seven to seven. Seattle is still unable to get

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Their loan score is actually a

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: return by the defense to get into the end zone.

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: So still no offensive score for Gino Smith and the

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks since the first half of Week one against the

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Gino Smith twenty four of thirty really good

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: completion percentage just one hundred and ninety seven yards. Not

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: too bad. The big problem for Seattle and this one,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: how about those penalties? Ten penalties for one hundred and

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: six yards. Dave I'm going to start with you, what

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: were some of the biggest mistakes in this one? Yeah,

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: certainly the penalties. Let's see they you know, they had

23
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: what ten penalties for one hundred and six yards and

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: then San Francisco had won, which is weird because the

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: week before they had twelve for ninety nine, twenty five

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: first downs for San Francisco, fourteen for the Seahawks, and

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: a lot of those there's a lot of drives extended

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: because of penalties so or shut down on the offensive side.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: I think the big thing is the thirty six yards

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: rushing and they had one hundred and eighty nine. I

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: think the way it went, a lot of people were

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: talking about, well, why didn't they run the ball more?

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I think when they got into the second half they

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: got down early because of the turnovers, and then all

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was like, how do we come

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: back in this game? Running the ball probably not the

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: best option. So it's one of those things you look

38
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: at at the end of the day and kind of go, Okay,

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: the numbers tell one story. But if you go through

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: the game, as you know, as the time kicks away,

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, you start to see the you know, the

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: deficit and points scored, and then you know you kind

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: of get away from the running game and start going

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: to the passing game. And like you said, Stacy, I

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: mean good completion percentage. Yeah, great there, but you know,

46
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: turn the ball over too many times and um, yeah,

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. You just can't do that against

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Yeah, especially when San franz is gonna control

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: the clock. That's exactly what they did. They possessed the

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: ball for thirty eight minutes. The Hawks had it for

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty one minutes. Also, the forty nine Ers ran seventy

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: plays on offensive Hawks ran forty seven. The Hawks were

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: two for seven on third down. So if you're not

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: possessing the ball, you're not converting on third downs, you're

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: not getting your plays going. It's hard to build an

56
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: offense off of forty seven plays, right, the better teams

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: running around sixty plays per game, and then you're able

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to build off it, like we saw that three men

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: or three running back backfield with Gino at the point,

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: two offset backs, one guy in the back, and that

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: that pistol look, and they weren't able to build off

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: of that because they didn't run it. And then we

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: saw the wildcat, it's like, Okay, you see that once

64
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: or twice and you try a trick play. So it's

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: hard to build an offense when you're not converting on

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: third downs, you're not possessing the ball, and you're not

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: showing the defense a lot. And I think it's the

68
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: forty nine ers day. They control the lot of scrimmage

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: and we all know, man, it's all about those trenches.

70
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: And as a linebacker, you want your d lineman to

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: occupy guys so you can make plays. Offensively, you want

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: to get a push on that defensive line, so one

73
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: you can protect your quarterback, but in the run game

74
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: you allow your running back to see the gaps and

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: run through it. So there's a bunch of things that happened,

76
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: a few big plays that mess things up. For the

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: fumble would would lock it, the interception, the flee flicker

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: that was called back. It was almost like anything that

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: could have gone wrong did for the Seahawks. Yeah, and Dave,

80
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I want to actually go to some of those misstackles.

81
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: The weirdest thing to me about this game is they

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: knew heading into it. Because if we know and we're

83
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: talking about it, they absolutely know that this is gonna

84
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: be one on the ground. This is a head coach,

85
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: and this is a team that likes to run the ball.

86
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: They had forty five carries almost one hundred and ninety

87
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: yards on the ground against Seattle, which is not a

88
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: number Pete Carroll likes. And the weird thing, Dave is

89
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: you know that Pete Carroll knew that they would run

90
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the ball, and yet this defense was unable to stop them.

91
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Is it mistakes you saw more on the part of Seattle.

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Is there's something San Francisco did so well because there

93
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: is something about running the ball and doing it effectively

94
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: when they know you're going to do it. The bad

95
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: news is with Jimmy g in there, because we didn't

96
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: really know what Trey Lance was going to be about.

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: With Jimmy g in there. This is a playoff team, guys.

98
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: I mean their personnel is fantastic. I mean, you look

99
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: at I sent pig ray a. You know, we're looking

100
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: at the All twenty two film and against Chicago Aaron

101
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Banks their left guard, and then Trent Williams, who maybe

102
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: the top ten best football player in the league. They

103
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: both got hooks on a fly sweep with players the

104
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: defenders were way outside of them, and so they just

105
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: they're so good at that and they don't give anything away.

106
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: And here's the I focused on the most. It was

107
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: the run game in the from the standpoint of they

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: don't give away what they're doing when the ball is snapped.

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: So um, one play that ran for eight yards. It

110
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: was early in the first quarter. Um, the offensive lineman

111
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of stepped just straightforward where you don't really know

112
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: where they're what they're doing. They run a toss to

113
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: that side where the guys are just stepping forward. So

114
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: the inside linebackers get a read like, okay, this is

115
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: an inside play, and then and then they you know,

116
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: they end up getting a pen from Deebo. Samuel blocks

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Nuosu and then the linebackers aren't able to get over

118
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: the top of their blocks. And that that I thought.

119
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: The two inside guys they're great players, you know, Cody

120
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: and Jordan, but they both need to get off of

121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: blocks a lot better. They need to get better at that.

122
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: But there I give a lot of the credit to

123
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: their offense and their run game and the way they run.

124
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: We always hear about the you know what was it

125
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: called the illusion of complexity. They do they do all

126
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: these shifts and everything it really wants. The ball snapped

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: is where it really happens. They're so good. So you know,

128
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm the Seahawks got to stop that. They gotta get

129
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: off blocks, they gotta not miss tackles, all those things.

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just kind of me tipping my

131
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: cap a little bit to San Francisco and how good

132
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: their running game is. And it's bad news for the

133
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks because this could be they're in our division. This

134
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: could be a question for both of you. Bump, I'll

135
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: start with you, but Dave, if you have anything to

136
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: add after, feel free because I think it's a big

137
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: question fantastics. Well how do you fix it? Like, how

138
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: do you fix the miss tackles, how do you fix

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: the blocks? Is there a way to practice it out? Yeah? Well,

140
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: you listen to kJ On during the kJ Right Show

141
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: eight to nine on Wednesdays. He says, le it goes

142
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: back to just practicing it at practice, practice open field tackles.

143
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: He said, practice being inside a boxing tight area, making tackles,

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: and then a lot of it. Man and Dave, you

145
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: can speak to it as better than I can. It's

146
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: technique and want to I always think it's like rebound them,

147
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: like if you good rebounders or rebounders, because they will

148
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: botch you out to put your body on you their

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: user technique and they want to do it. And also defensively,

150
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean you got to set guys up for that

151
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: as well, you know what I mean. There were some

152
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: things on defense that I saw that I felt didn't

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: really help the linebackers get to get to these guys

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: and and make those plays in the backfield. But it

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: comes down to exactly what Dave and what Pete had

156
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: been saying. You have to get awful blogs in gang tackle,

157
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: especially when you are playing against a guy like Deebo

158
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Samuel who more than likely is going to break the

159
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: first tackle, right that first guy, get your hands on them,

160
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: slow them down, and then the rest of the haskets

161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: to the ball. Yeah. And you know what, if you

162
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: look at on the other side of the ball to

163
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense, they didn't fall for anything, nothing, you know,

164
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the reverse, the throwback to Gino, they were all over.

165
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: At the fly sweep, they were all over. Obviously they

166
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: were there when DJ runs the you know, read option

167
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: and and throws the ball or I'm sorry ken Walker

168
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: runs it. So yeah, and you know what, I to

169
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: answer your question, Stacy, I think what needs to happen

170
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: is like just you need to have like a clinic

171
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: during the week one of the things. And I'm not sure.

172
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: I think Pete does a much better job at this,

173
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: but once the season starts, we didn't work a lot

174
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: on technique, I know when I was an NFL player,

175
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: because you're expected to be able to tackle, you're expected

176
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: to be able to get off blocks. But I think that,

177
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe for your inside backers, just do a

178
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: clinic one day a week of getting off blocks. How

179
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: to you know, how to hit the guy and you know,

180
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: shed him and get you know, shed the guy away

181
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: from the play side for tackling. You know, just run

182
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: tons and tons of tackling drills, you know that, you know,

183
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: for the outside guys especially, and then for the inside

184
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: guys getting off blocks. I think, you know, I think

185
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: Pete's really good that way. I think he um during

186
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: his practices. There's a lot of technique. I think Clint

187
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Hurt's big on that too. And yeah, that's just what

188
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: they need to get back to because this is this

189
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: is basic stuff. I mean, look, Darryl Taylor has a

190
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: tackle for a three yard loss on Deebill Samuel. Now

191
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: that's a really good football player, but up a fifty

192
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: one yard or so. You know, those are the kinds

193
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: of things that even just a little thing like that,

194
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, And if he made that tackle, nobody would

195
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you go, wow, that's nice, nice job. But

196
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: he was right there in position to do that, and

197
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, we wouldn't be talking about that fifty one

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: yard run. So it's just getting back to the basics.

199
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: And which I know a lot of people are tired

200
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: of hearing that, Sorry Stacy, but you know, um, it's

201
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: it really is true because and we'll get into this later,

202
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: but they have a bunch of young guys that they

203
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: just need to keep putting them out there, man, keep

204
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: putting them out there and let them make their mistakes

205
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 1: and fix them. Who are some of the young guys

206
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: whose development you think matters most well for me? I

207
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: to me, it's I mean, look, Kobe Bryant has an

208
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: illegal contact and a past interference. Michael Jackson has two

209
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: pi's wool and has two pis. I mean, those are

210
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: the guys, Abe Lucas, he's in downfield false start holding

211
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: Darryl Taylor offsides a couple of times. I mean, yeah,

212
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: those are the guys that really need to you know,

213
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: just keep working, man, just keep working. Put those keep

214
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: putting those young guys out there. I was comparing it

215
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: to top Gun. Remember when Viper when Maverick kind of

216
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: lost it after Goose died. Sure, and then Commander Viper said,

217
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: just keep sending him up, keep sending him up. That's

218
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: what I would say about these these young guys. Keep

219
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: putting them out there, man, Keep putting them out there,

220
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: and they will get it down eventually. All Right, you

221
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: guys are listening to the huddle coming up next, We're

222
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: gonna get started. There was enough of a lookback, enough

223
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: of a look back. We'll probably dabble into week two

224
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: just a little bit, but for the most part, we're

225
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: looking ahead to Week three against the Atlanta Foul and

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks return home for this one. Pete Carroll going to

227
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: get us started. His press conference coming up next. You

228
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus

229
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: in Stacy Ross. Seahawks practice just wrapped. We are waiting

230
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: on Pete Carroll hit the podium for his weekly Wednesday

231
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: press conference. Before we get to that, though, let's quickly

232
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: quickly keep moving the conversation forward here ahead to week three.

233
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Now it sounds like I'm talking about week two, but

234
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: I promise I'm not. So. I went to Wyman for

235
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: a question about some of those mistackles and how they

236
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: fix that, a question about some young players as well. Bump,

237
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you, and my question is DK

238
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Metcalf not involved nearly enough? Now? Credit to Tyler Lockett

239
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: nine receptions, excuse me, nine targets for one hundred and

240
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: seven yards. DK Metcalf just thirty five yards. How did

241
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the Seahawks get him involved more? Um one, I think

242
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: you can do some pre snap adjustments. There was a

243
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: couple of times are watching film and they got DK

244
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: to the single receiver side. You got two or three

245
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: receivers to the right, DKs to the left. He got

246
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: a corner who's playing off six or seven yards and

247
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: his first move is bell and he wants to get

248
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: out of there. He doesn't want to give be deep.

249
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: So if you can get on the same page him

250
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: at Gino, Gino throwing him the hitch sign or the

251
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: slant sign or something. I think that's the way to

252
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: get him the football right now when you're playing soft coverage. Also,

253
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: there was another instance where I'm watching film and there's

254
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: a double move. It's actually on that interception that Gino

255
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: threw to Lockett. DK had a hitch and go or

256
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: he converted a hitch in two ago and he has

257
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: the D B B. The DB's on his hit, but

258
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: he has like half a step on him. In the NFL,

259
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: that is beat right, So take more chances with that

260
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: type of coverage because DK has shown that he can

261
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: win those fifty fifty footballs. So I think it's pre

262
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: snapple a Jasmin's. Obviously you have to design some place

263
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: to get him open. But when he has a step

264
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: on a guy, don't be afraid to throw that football.

265
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: Let it go, all right, Wyman. I might cut you

266
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: off if Pete hits the podium, but otherwise I'm gonna

267
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: let you go here. Um, what if you what have

268
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: you seen so far from the offense. It could be

269
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: what you've liked, and it could be what you want

270
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: to see more of. Well, I think I think, I

271
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: think Penny is just a cut or two away from

272
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: from breaking one. Same thing with ken Walker. He was

273
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: just a little bit his time, and he could see

274
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: he had one like one carry that went for eight

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: yards and the other three went for two. So you know,

276
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: I feel like those guys are going to continue to develop. Yeah.

277
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: With with DK, I mean they're they're kind of sitting

278
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: on the slant with him. I feel like if you

279
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: beat him over the top a couple of times with

280
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, which I think is I want to say,

281
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: easily done, but he certainly wins the size, strength, strength

282
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: of hands battle over any dB, then you know the

283
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: underneath stuff will start to open up for him a

284
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: little bit. Um, guys, there's another receiver I'd love to

285
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: see involve more. It's not Tyler Lockett because he's doing

286
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: a great job. It's d Scridge Bump. How can they

287
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: get him being used up? Just kidding, I'm gonna ender

288
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: it myself. Pete Carroll talking to reporters now, will take

289
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: you there live to begin his rehab. Um. But everybody

290
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: sounds pleased it worked out. Okay, I don't know, just

291
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: the fingers too, No, then do any of the fingers

292
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: As far as I know, I didn't hear about that

293
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: at all, he's already had those worked on. Kind of

294
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: after they might but it's not that's not the main

295
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: concern right now. Was it a torn quad tendon? Is

296
00:13:53,920 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: that the official? Yeah, it sounds pretty good. Away from

297
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: the team, he's gonna be there for a bit while

298
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: it starts his rehab facing the team. That's seventh right,

299
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: rush game, just a task of trying to meet the

300
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: mone dimensional. Any team mone dimension I can run the

301
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: ball on. Yeah, we we certainly want to have to

302
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: attend to that. They've they've looked really good. The running

303
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: backs have looked good. Um, the quarterback has been a

304
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: big factor already. You know, they've really transitioned quickly to

305
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Marcus being in there and shifted the emphasis where he's

306
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: a big part of the run game too. Um, he's

307
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: averaging almost five yards of carry. You know, so that's

308
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: that's that's always a difficult deal, you know for us,

309
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, it always is because they run option football. So, um,

310
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: we've got to take care of that. Just talked about

311
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: building a team that likes to run the ball and

312
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: play good defense. Do you see similarities and what they

313
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: are building their team around and what you are, Yes,

314
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: you know you've heard me long enough. That's I think

315
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: that's a good way to go. Um and he's go done.

316
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: It looks like that's that's where they are. They're very

317
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: active on defense, very multiple and challenging there as well

318
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: as with the new dimensions of the run game really

319
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: make it difficult. Can you tell in week three that

320
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: maybe week won and week two we're still sorting out

321
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: that's really happening. We're still and I think a lot

322
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: of teams are. You know, they're learning, you know, what

323
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: looks right for you with your guys? How far have

324
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: they come? You know, how much can you use them? Um,

325
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: we're adapting as we go that that'll be ongoing in

326
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: every season. It's like that, you know, you gotta figure

327
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: out how it'll fits together and is it like you projected?

328
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: And where of the you know, the guys that have

329
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: stepped up and done some things that you know may

330
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: may have changed your outlook. So um that we're still there,

331
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: We're still working on It felt like they been the

332
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: major rest who's getting running game going so far? Um, well,

333
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers had a lot to do with it.

334
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Last week they did a terrific job on us and

335
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: uh um, we weren't able to get the kind of

336
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: the kind of space and that we were used to,

337
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: you know that we were counting on and uh so

338
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: we have to be better at the line of scrimmage.

339
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: We got to be stouted. We gotta make sure that

340
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: we don't get penetration and they get the negative plays

341
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: and the plays that you know, they keep you from

342
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: feeling good about the running game you have any more

343
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: in fun on Damian Lewis. Um, he went through the

344
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: walk through today. So, m he's got a thigh bruce. Um.

345
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: But um, he got a lot more done that we

346
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: thought he would. He looked okay moving around. So I

347
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I think we'll take it each on him

348
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: today and you know, take each day one one of

349
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: the time here. But that's a good indication and one

350
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: more of any game with Rashad and Ken Kenneth. Was

351
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: it hardy just I mean they didn't have much. I

352
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: think it's we didn't get the observations made. There was

353
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: not enough opportunities to see stuff that we wanted to see.

354
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: So we'll go out of it again this week. You

355
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: can't make it out of the game, okay with this? Yeah, yeah,

356
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: he was fine. So we got practice today. Um no,

357
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: no he's not. In a matter of fact, he has

358
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: a he's got a family thing he's working on. He

359
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: has to take care of business, so he's not here today.

360
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: TV broadcast showed DK pointing his hand in his back

361
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: at some points on somebody, is he fine coming out

362
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: of the game, And yeah, he was fine today. Yeah

363
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: he got he got you know, uh wha whacked a

364
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: couple of times, but he's fine. He bounced right back.

365
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Last last year, you got a really good against the run,

366
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: kind of making team one dimension like you wanted too.

367
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: But some of the past numbers still weren't there. Pass

368
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: RUSS members weren't there. What did you learn about last

369
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: season and that the idea that like just stopping the

370
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: run may not be even now, We never just tried

371
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: to stop the run. We just did it, okay, you know,

372
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: um it's always been it's always been, you know, an

373
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: important part of the game. And so uh um, well,

374
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: I didn't learn anything as far as those results to

375
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: these results, speaking of stopping their run, out Woods three

376
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: taps for a loss in that game, which now he

377
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: continues to be really you know, really successful pounding the

378
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: line of stram and he's knocking guys back, he's making

379
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: plays his his you know, he's so big and so strong,

380
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: and he's he's playing really hard too, he's chasing the football. Well,

381
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: he's done a lot of really good things and it's

382
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: turned out to be very productive. Rend zone efficiency on

383
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: defense has been really good, picking up from where he

384
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: left off last year. What's gone into that in the

385
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: first couple of games is see at the beginning of

386
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: the question again, rend zone efficiency keeping up? Yeah, Yeah,

387
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I think it's we have some background where we've you know,

388
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: we've had good success. We know what we're doing and

389
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: what we've added to it with the stuff we have

390
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: with the new the new look at it um has

391
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: been you know, it's been effective right off the bat.

392
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: Right now, people don't know what we're doing, you know,

393
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: they have to figures out, and so we have a

394
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage in that regard. It's been

395
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: several years since you've gone up against Marcus Mariota. What

396
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: how has he evolved as a as a quarterback? As

397
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: he shown similar traits him when you guys saw five

398
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: years ago, attend. I've always liked him, I've always liked

399
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: his athleticism and his running ability and and uh and

400
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: he's always been able to do a little bit of everything. Well,

401
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, I've been throw the ball too. Um, he

402
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of got mired in a backup role. Um, he

403
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: looks like a starter to me. You know, he's back

404
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: at it and he's doing great. Um. What you see

405
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: is he's still a real threat to run the football.

406
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: He's really fast, and he plays fast, and he's and

407
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: he's got a good attitude about he's aggressive with the

408
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: way he takes off and runs. And you know it's

409
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: they get vulnerable there. But still he is u he's

410
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: making the most of his opportunities. I think this the

411
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: way that they have shown it in the first couple

412
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: of weeks, Um, it really plays to his strength. That's

413
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: why I say that that coaches are a nice job

414
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: of transitioning, you know, from a different but totally different

415
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: makeup of a quarterback. And right immediately it showed up

416
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: that they were able to take advantage of what Marcus

417
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: can do shift for their offensive system that they have gone.

418
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean, is it completely It wasn't very many. There

419
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: wasn't much concern for Matt you know, running the ball.

420
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: You know, he was a classic, you know, pocket quarterback.

421
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: So this is almost the other extreme, you know, and

422
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: so um, it's a big change. That's why I, you know,

423
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: I you know, acknowledge that they've made a nice transition quickly,

424
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: and it's it's felt when we already feel the difference.

425
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: Patterson's career transition has been interesting. Obviously we see heard

426
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: the running back. But what's sort of the challenge from him? Yeah,

427
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: he's been a remarkable player of always, but it has been, uh,

428
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been a process for people to

429
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: figure out where the best place to put him is,

430
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, because he's been a receiver that never really

431
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: got over the hump there and he's always been a

432
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: phenomenal returner and as good as you could get. And uh,

433
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: but he seems to be settling in at the running

434
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: back spot. He doesn't he looks different than the running

435
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: backs that you've seen. He won't look the same. The

436
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: numbers so different than all that. But he's really tall

437
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and he's really fast, and uh but he's taken to

438
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: it and they're off to a good start with him.

439
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: They have nice mix with the running with their runners

440
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: has been used this year, but what's the threat that

441
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: he poses if he gets told there they're nighting him

442
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: up outside and throwing goal balls to him, you know,

443
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: and and uh so that's a big statement in itself.

444
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that that you can tell they

445
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: really like and they're going they're looking for ways to

446
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: get him. The football hasn't turned out maybe if it's

447
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: productively yet, but it's coming because he's a really talented kid.

448
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: He looks like a wide receiver. Plan how's Darrell Taylor doing? Um,

449
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: he's learning, he's learning. I think we're as we're a

450
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: justin you know, in this early part of the season,

451
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out how how best to use

452
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: our guys and you know, proportionately Russian versus playing on

453
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: early downs and stuff like that. So we're working at that. Um,

454
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: he can do everything, you know, and uh we particularly

455
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: like him as a Russer coming off the edge because

456
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: of a speed and all that. So you know, we're learning,

457
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: he's learning. We're learning. Seem like Darrell Johnson actually gave

458
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: me some nice plays ye last week. What if you

459
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: like to see about him since he's come over here.

460
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: He's he's a real natural football player and that's why

461
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: he looks good. And special teams, you know, I mean

462
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: there's not very many two hundred and sixty pound guys

463
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: running down the kickoffs and punts and making plays too.

464
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: He's got sense and awareness. He's also a really good

465
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: technical technician at the line of scrimmage. He can play

466
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: three technique or five technique or nine technique, he can

467
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: do them all. And he just gets in there and

468
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: he's just been raised right, and he's got the real

469
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 1: long arms that he has. He uses his length and uh,

470
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: and he's been a you know, the aggressiveness shows up

471
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: on the special teams from before. Uh, and it showed

472
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: up in the game. He had a couple of big shots,

473
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, and so um, he's he's made a really

474
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: positive impression. We'll see more of him. We're gonna We're

475
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna play him more. Sorry. Yes, how has h Cody

476
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: handled starting Poddy Gardens beating started him? Yeah, Cody's Cody's

477
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: taken to it. He's he's learning the system. Well, he's

478
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: in it. Uh, he's you see him starting to pick

479
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: his time to take shots, you know, making plays and

480
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: going after stuff. That's when guys feel confident and they

481
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: know they're doing the right thing instead of they're wondering

482
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: if they're doing the right thing. I think he's going

483
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: to continue to show up in those kinds of settings.

484
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: He's going to make plays in the backfield, He's gonna

485
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: make plays on the perimeter. Um, he's got really good

486
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: ball instincts dB, you know, on his safety and all

487
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. You can see it when he

488
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: gets on the perimeter and in his courage and all so. Um,

489
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of stuff we're still working on,

490
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: but he's he's made a good transition and he's you know,

491
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: he owns the spot right now. I think he's played

492
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: eleven snaps combined. What's keeping him off, it's just taking time.

493
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: It's just taking time to get him comfortable where he's

494
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: really consistent with his stuff. He's got to learn, you know,

495
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: our stuff, and and uh, he's getting there. He's working

496
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: hard at it. He's just missed so much time. He's

497
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's still he's in a rookie process

498
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 1: to me, you know, and I hate to point him

499
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: into a rookie year again, but but I see it

500
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: that way. It's gonna take him some time and we're

501
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: gonna we want him, playhim, we want him out there.

502
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: He's got talent that we need to utilize. Um, but

503
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 1: we he's a he's a case of a guy when

504
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to do too much too early and

505
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: get him screwed up. And so we're just trying to

506
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: bring him along and he's ready to he's dying to

507
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: play more. Just a chance to get done this week. UM,

508
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that yet, not on this day. He's

509
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: not going to go today after the games, you know,

510
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: couldn't really get it going. And then the next day

511
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: we trust him, get hold him back. Was there anything

512
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: that you saw on the change? Well, seeing that you know,

513
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: we didn't find our explosions in the game, you know,

514
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: and uh, I felt like there's no reason not to

515
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: go for our stuff. And we have all kinds of

516
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: things that we want to do, and I think we

517
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: can do more of it, just the things that we

518
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: work on and all. Uh And with this thought that

519
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna wait for you know,

520
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: three or four more weeks to figure out what Gino's

521
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: looking like. I think he looks really good. I'm convinced

522
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: that he what he's done in practice and what we've

523
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: seen he's carried to the games. The game's not too big.

524
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: He's very comfortable in the games. He's very poised about stuff,

525
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: and he's accurate as heck. And uh, there's no reason

526
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: to be worried about him at all the process. I

527
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: think he's that's really the statement I was making. I

528
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: feel better about it. And I know what the coaches do,

529
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we've not played many games where

530
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: guys complete eighty percent of their passes for a couple

531
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. You know, that's that's nobody has you know, So, um,

532
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: we're just gonna just gonna go and see if we

533
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: can get this thing rolling. Had a better clip than

534
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: we had. He felt that Josh Jones has played good.

535
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: He's doing well. Yeah, he's doing a nice job. You'll

536
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: you'll see him continue to get moved around and do

537
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: more things with him. Um, he's been real productive for

538
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: us and inactive and uh, there's a lot of confidence

539
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: in them. Do you like the way that your team

540
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: has responded to Sunday just kind of bounced around a

541
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: little bit later. I want to I want to know

542
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: after see him on the field today and get back

543
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: to Thursday and get rolling. What I do like this

544
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: is finally a regular week, and uh, you know, we

545
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: cherish the routine of it and to get our mentality

546
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: right and in our process right and our recovery right

547
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: and all of that. This is really the first week

548
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: that it feels like it's a normal uh. Sequence. So, UM,

549
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to really capture it this this week and

550
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: take advantage of him. What have you learned about Charles?

551
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: And through these first two games, they're they're they're doing it.

552
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: They're playing, you know, they're out there doing it, and

553
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: they're they're holding holding up their own Um, they're really

554
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: attentive to the things that they need to improve on.

555
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: You know that we communicating with them. They're not being

556
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: hard headed about it. They're not being where they can't

557
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: handle the you know, the criticism and the critique. Um

558
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: that means that there's nothing holding them back. Now, we

559
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: just got to keep going and keep playing. They've seen

560
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: some pretty du good guys already. Um, they'll continue to

561
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: see good guys you know, each week, week in, a

562
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: week out. But that's we're starting to build a little

563
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: a little reservoir of experience. So it's uh, it's nothing

564
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: but positive. We asked about Kobe after the game, he said,

565
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: you kind of need to look at more and now

566
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: that you've gone back where he visited his player, he

567
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: played a solid game. Unfortunately had the penalties. You know

568
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: that that penalties have got us, and that's those don't

569
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: have to happen, and those are plays that we can

570
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: get rid of. You know, we had Michael had two

571
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: and he had a couple. You know, we can get

572
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: rid of those, and that that's something we're making a

573
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: big deal about it. You know, understanding what the officials

574
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: are calling what you know, what what is allowed and

575
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: what isn't um I'm still concerned about when we've had

576
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: like four deep balls called and we've been all over

577
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: the deep balls with the corners with Michael and with

578
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: Wool and uh with three of them have been penalties,

579
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, when we can't cover them any tighter. So

580
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to help them find their way to

581
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: the finesse part of it at the end of the play,

582
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: and they're not. There's a case where guys panic at

583
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: that situation and they'll grab and they'll do so if

584
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: they're not doing that, they're they're in control of what's

585
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: going on, so I know that we're gonna be able

586
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: to clean that up, was head coach Pete Carroll. We

587
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: are getting you guys ready plenty more to come as

588
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: we preview week three four the Seahawks. This is the huddle.

589
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus,

590
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross. Gabe Jackson going to join us in

591
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: just a few minutes. Before we get to that, though,

592
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: let's take a look ahead to the seahawks Week three opponent.

593
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: See I was back at home for this one at

594
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Luminfield taken on the Atlanta Falcons. Wyman, I'm going to

595
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: start with you for this one. The Falcons heading into

596
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: this season had really low expectations. They've had some surprises, though.

597
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Tell us a bit about this team. What do you see? Yeah, well,

598
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean this is how the NFL goes because at first,

599
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: you look at the schedule and you go, all right,

600
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: we should be able to take that one. We should

601
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: be able to take that one. Then you get in

602
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: the week and go, damn. You've got Grady Jarrett with

603
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: a sack and a half so far. Drake London nineteen targets,

604
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: thirteen catches, one hundred and sixty yards. He's their first

605
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: rounder out of USC so you know, and then Corderyl

606
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: Patterson eighty almost good for one hundred yards a game.

607
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: So you know, and I'll probably be saying this against

608
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, most teams that they play like, well, you know,

609
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: we've played Detroit New Orleans after this that it's more

610
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks really, I mean, and them being fundamentally

611
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: sound and everything. But this is this is a good team,

612
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: got Jake Matthews. I mean, they're they're very well staffed

613
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: as far as the you know, talent goes. But but again,

614
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: they have a question market at quarterback and you know

615
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: that's that's familiar for a lot of teams in the NFL.

616
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: He's thrown a couple of couple of interceptions, but man,

617
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you look at their offense. They put up twenty six

618
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and twenty seven and they were in that Rams game, man,

619
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: as much as Cooper Cup was just shredding them. Uh,

620
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: they came back and made it a game. Yeah, I

621
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: felt this got hard. You know, they were damn what

622
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of points. Uh, several scores that came back

623
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: and made the game. Interest would just look at me.

624
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: You mentioned how the points that they put in their

625
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: ninth in the league with twenty six point five points

626
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: per game, they will run the football average in one

627
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards on the ground. That's good

628
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: for seventh in the league. And then I also look

629
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: at time of possession, possession, possessing the football. We know

630
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: that's been the issue for the Seahawks. They've held the

631
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: rock for about thirty one minutes per game. So you

632
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: combine that with the coach and staff you mentioned, with

633
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: the talent that they have over there at Marcus Mariota,

634
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: is good for a couple of good players a game.

635
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: You got Kyle Pitts, the receiver slash tight end out

636
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: of Florida going into his second year, only had one

637
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: touchdown last year. They're expecting a bit more out of him.

638
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, as you know that if you can't sleep

639
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: on any team in the league, and you're right going

640
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: into the season, you look at this Atlantic game and

641
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: then the Lions game, you're like, okay, you can count

642
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: on those being wins. But as the season develops, as

643
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: the weeks go by, each team presents a different challenge.

644
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: Then you look within yourself and the Seahawks, and you say, Okay,

645
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: there are some things that they need to get going.

646
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking for the Seahawks to be the

647
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: more physical team against the Falcons. I think after last

648
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: week and pushed around a little bit, that should be

649
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: a point of emphasis. You mentioned presenting new challenges each

650
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: week also come new opportunities. Though the Falcons defense not

651
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: great so far. Now we're one to talk here in Seattle. Obviously,

652
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have their own stuff to work out. But

653
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: against the past, the Falcons ranked twenty second. They're better

654
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: against the rush, allowing one hundred and eight yards per games,

655
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: still not great. Importantly, though, they're twenty seventh and points allowed,

656
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: allowing almost thirty points per games so far. Wyman, I'll

657
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: start with you for this one. The Seahawks miss the

658
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: end zone. They would like a reunion with the end zone.

659
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: What needs to happen here, Well, I'm gonna be the

660
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: boring old coach. They need to execute. But you know,

661
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: like I said with Gabe and any seemed to feel

662
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: that that same way, that they're just a couple of

663
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: plays or a couple of moves from busting big, big plays.

664
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: Great example would be Nobody wants to remember this, but

665
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel breaks one tackle the backfield and he's off

666
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: to the races fifty one yards. I mean, Rashad Penny

667
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: can do that. Ken Walker. I'm really curious to see.

668
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, he had a couple of moves where

669
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: it's like I think he's you can see that he's

670
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: figuring it out that like, Okay, that doesn't work in

671
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: the NFL. Okay, that doesn't work in the NFL. And

672
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: I feel like he's going to find that at some point.

673
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: So hopefully, yeah, they'll get in. We'll get back to

674
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the I think I think we saw Gino pressing the

675
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: other day against the forty nine ers and like we

676
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: talked about before, against a really good sound defense. Demiko

677
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Ryan's had that team in the Decordinator. He had that

678
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: team in the top ten in almost every category last year.

679
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that there. It's been a tough

680
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: go from that regard, but I'm hoping to see something

681
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: more like what we saw against the Broncos afen. So

682
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: let's get some insight from one of those offensive players.

683
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: Offensive lineman Gabe Jackson joins us next on the huddle.

684
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere you are listening to the huddle with

685
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus, and Stacy Ross joining us now

686
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: our first time talking to you. It's Gabe Jackson. You

687
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: just wrap practice. How was it? It was good? We

688
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: had just finished the walkthrough it gave. It seems like

689
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: you guys are just right there with the running game.

690
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, just a couple of cuts here and there.

691
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: You got a lot of young guys who are working

692
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: in there, So tell us about where the run game

693
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: is at right now? I feel like we know we're

694
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: not far away. You know, we just gotta keep being

695
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: more consistent with the fifth technique that would being taught,

696
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and it's gonna hit. Gave. It feels like, at least

697
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: from outside looking in that the first two weeks or

698
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: a different type of weeks, right, I felt like the

699
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: Niners were a bit more physical than the Broncos. How

700
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: do you feel and if I'm right, how do you

701
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: feel like that helps? Just a development of that old

702
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: line and especially the young guys at the tackle spots.

703
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: It's good, you know. For one, uh, you know, they

704
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: played against some good guys, some good ends, and they

705
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: competed well and held up so that's always good and

706
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: charing for a guy that age and help with their

707
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: confidence going leading forward. I'm gonna ask a weird question.

708
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Don't take offense to it, but I think that there's

709
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: this idea like, oh, if you have an emotional win,

710
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: which week one was, but if you have an emotional win,

711
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: then it's tough to get your head out of that

712
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: for a week two. Do you find that that's the case? Um?

713
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean I can't speak, you know, yeah, but it's

714
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: you can get in that and what's where you're excited

715
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: and it's also the other end of the spectrum on

716
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: where when you lose and you're like, oh man, it's

717
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: a horrible feeling. So m you can't ride the highs

718
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: and loads of You just got to know the truth

719
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: behind it, what you did well, what you did wrong,

720
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: and move on to the next week because it's going

721
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: to keep going. Yeah, and gave year in your ninth year,

722
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: so obviously you you know how it goes. Are you

723
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: taking the time to I'm sure you are, but taking

724
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: the time to impart some wisdom. You got some young

725
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: fellows out there that on the field. Tell us about

726
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: about what you've been talking to those guys about I mean,

727
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: for one, they're a great group of guys. Uh, you know,

728
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: the whole room. But the young guys, they're working hard.

729
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: They try and take coaching um and anything I can

730
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: I can tell them from my experience or just you know,

731
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: competing certain technique or try to you know, explain certain

732
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: things a different way that maybe they're not getting from

733
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: the coach, you know, because everybody learned stuff different. I

734
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: might say something different versus the coach, but we mean

735
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: the same thing or stuff like that. Kind of a

736
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: different question. I get here around a forty five nine

737
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: o'clock and y'all be rowdy, attacking or what is going on?

738
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: I adeo? Can you tell me that? Or is that

739
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of an in house? We can't tell everybody what's

740
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: going down. We just have fun, you know. H every

741
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,800

Speaker 1: Oh yeah sometimes yeah, have you had to or when

748
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: you were a new player last year, did you have

749
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: to do a kind of presentation in front of the team? Did? Okay?

750
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: I think that's reserved for rookie is it's not for

751
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: a veteran? But all right, So how's your basketball game? Game?

754
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,239

755
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: What about like the isn't there ping pong in there too?

Speaker 1: Is there like a yard game where you're like like cornhole? Like, uh,

760
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: what else are we looking at? Here? You think about

761
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: what's your best game? Where you're like bowling crue? Okay,

762
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't care what it is outside

763
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: of football? What could you beat? You're pretty confident like

764
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: your friends at oh Man and of course, of course

765
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: who do you play with? Him? Man? Sometimes I go

766
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: random I and late Rundom teams or I live. You're like,

767
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter any place? Yeah, playbook though? Well, playbook.

768
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: I can't get it. Can't go the way you play online?

769
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: Or do you play with some of the dudes on

770
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: the team I play on line? Yeah, who have you

771
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: played against anyone on the team. I have an Actually

772
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: I need to start doing that. That that'll be pretty fun, man,

773
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: They say, old lineman become the best, some of the

774
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: best coordinators because y'all understand the whole picture of what's

775
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: going on. So when you do play, or you're run heavy,

776
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: or you balance attack with your approach, I keep it balanced,

777
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: you know. I try to make everything look the same. Man,

778
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: have a little wind dressing on there, do stuff to

779
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: make you trust men, then keep the saying look and

780
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: do something else true coordinating. Oh yeah, okay, but every

781
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: team I was on the offensive line was always the

782
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: tightest group. You guys. You just got a tight group.

783
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Are you going out to uh? Are you going to

784
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: each other's houses? Barbecue things like that? Oh yeah, I

785
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: mean we're pretty close. We'll we'll have dinner here and

786
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: there and uh get together, have fun, laughing joke. Even

787
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: just in the building. We always find time to, you know,

788
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: just have fun, you know, between practice of walkthroughs and meetings. Joke.

789
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: Talk about life or whatever it is. So how eager

790
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: are you guys to get back on the field. You

791
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: got Atlantic coming into town. Um played you know, two

792
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: different type of teams. What does Atlanta present and what's

793
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: the vibe like with the team to get back out there.

794
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: We're ready to go back out there. You know last

795
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: week wasn't good enough, so it's another opportunity to get

796
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: better than to win. What's the mindset like of like

797
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: do you like feeling underestimated or do you not pay

798
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: any attention to it? I really don't pay attention to it. Yeah,

799
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, because everybody's gonna have the opinion about everything.

800
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: But the truth is we know we have man, we

801
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: know we can do because I know some people take

802
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: fuel from that. What do you take fuel from them?

803
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Like when you're out there? When what really makes you

804
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: feel like you're ready and you're in the moment I'm

805
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: doing this like you know, I'm I'm playing guard and

806
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: there's something that I always want to do. So, uh,

807
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: you just gotta take Priday, you know. Um it's plent

808
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: off stick because that I had to get to go

809
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: through to get here and other people as well. So, um,

810
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: those things help help push and drive me. I'll tell

811
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: you what, Gabe. You know a lot of guys at

812
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: the end of their career that will say I wish

813
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: I had appreciated it more sounds like, sounds like you

814
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Man. See you're aware of what you're doing.

815
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: How great of a job you have? Oh definitely. I

816
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: tell one of the rooks that actually, probably two weeks ago,

817
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: I was like, look, have fun. He was like I am.

818
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: I was like, listen, have fun and go by quickly.

819
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how much. You know how

820
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: long I'm gonna play, you know, but at you know,

821
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the day this you know it's

822
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: not for long. So you just never know what it is.

823
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: So you just have to have fun. It might be

824
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: three years, four years, one year, you never know, so

825
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: just enjoy and be glad and being that moment Platt

826
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: all thirty two slammed the door in your face. I'm

827
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: telling you it's no good on the outside. A bump.

828
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, slam quick talking about now all you guys

829
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: have to pay for film? Yeah, I think this little

830
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: thick Okay, it's like I don't can't relate. I can't relate,

831
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: so my mom is from Jackson, Mississippi. My dad lives

832
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: in Bilexi, Mississippi. How often do you get back and

833
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: have you brought your family up here to visit. I

834
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: stay in Mississippi in the off season, so I'm there

835
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: all the time. My family the days come out here. Yeah,

836
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: they love it. Yeah. Uh, last question ten seconds and

837
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: then we'll let you go. But I asked Phil Haynes

838
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: the same thing, because he's from Missouri or from He's

839
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: from North Carolina, North Carolina. So he talked about what

840
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: he liked here and what he missed from home. And

841
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: he was specifically talked about food, because guys, come on,

842
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: we're all alignment on the end of the Bible. So

843
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: is there any food that you really love here or

844
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: anything you really love here? And what do you missed

845
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: from home here? I'm definitely saying st K yes, yes, yeah,

846
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: I love it tk uh back home. Uh. It tastes good,

847
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: but it's not good for you. I'm had to go

848
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: to Zaxvient. It feels in trouble all right. He is

849
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: the starting offensive linman. Gabe Jackson, Gabe, it was very

850
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: nice meeting you. Nice talking to you today for the huddle.

851
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Michael Bumpus and Stacy Ross. We are

852
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: going in the trenches with Ray Roberts. Ray. It wasn't

853
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: a great day for the Seahawks offense. That felt like

854
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: nothing could go right. I'm going to start with the

855
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: run game though. Are you surprised that Rashad Penny hasn't

856
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: been used? More super surprised. I just the game. The

857
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: NFL game pass has been doing me wrong for the

858
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: last few days. I finally got to see that the

859
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: film today and uh, you know, there were some people

860
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: saying that the dolphinsive line didn't blockwell and this that

861
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: another thing, but early in the game they were creating lanes.

862
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: I think that the Seahawks have kind of, uh in

863
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: this game got a little too cute with the running game,

864
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: with the with the four running back package and then

865
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the three running backs in the backfield and some of

866
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: the kind of not tricky stuff, but just kind of

867
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: stuff they don't normally do. When last year at the

868
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: end of the season, they were just one you know,

869
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: one back, single backfield, running the split zone, getting vertical push,

870
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: letting painty fine the holes and and in grace some

871
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: yards and they've kind of gotten away from that. I

872
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: know part of it. It's maybe expanding the offense, but

873
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: it just didn't really put the guys in a position,

874
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: uh to be better running the ball and then give

875
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: any more chances to run. Ray don't get me and

876
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: Bump started on NFL rewind nothing about paying for film ray.

877
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: This has been my life for the entire week. Well,

878
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: and they finally got back the all twenty two thing

879
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: the way it should be, and then they don't show

880
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: the clock or the quarter, the play or anything. It's

881
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be like four years where we're all

882
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: sideways and then they go back to the way it

883
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: was the you know in the beginning. So anyway, all right,

884
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done, they m ray. I was talking

885
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: about their offensive line and some of the interesting things

886
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: like if I'm a linebacker, you know, and I sent

887
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: you that that one, uh where Trent Williams and Aaron

888
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: Banks hook those wide. I think the defensive end did

889
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: slant inside, but still how they were able to do it,

890
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's pretty special. And then I was looking

891
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: at some of the tosses where the guards come straight

892
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: up the field instead of kind of giving it away. Um,

893
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty It's pretty interesting to see all the little

894
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: uh because and I'm not looking at from an offensive

895
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: lineman standpoint, I'm looking at from a linebacker standpoint, Like

896
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: that's a hard read. What do you what do you

897
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: see with the Niners running game? That's that's special. Well,

898
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: the one thing is what you're saying, like the guard

899
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: to do a really good job getting up to the linebackers,

900
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: and you know, we can say you know what we

901
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: want about you know how people thought about Bobby Wagner

902
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: maybe making a tackle four or five yards down the field,

903
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: but he was making a tackle four or five yards

904
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: down in the field. In this game, the linebackers are

905
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: getting eaten up a lot by the guards and tackles.

906
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: And so the thing I like about San Francisco's offensive

907
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: line is that they're not only like sometimes you have

908
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of athleticism, you don't have the physicality, But

909
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: they have a great combination of both. You have you know,

910
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: Jason Peters, who's maybe one of the best linemen to

911
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: ever do it, and he's still super athletic and strong

912
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: and powerful. And then the guards team to tend to

913
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: follow that, which is interesting because when I see the

914
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense way more athletic, but not as physical as

915
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: you'd like for them to be, so you don't see

916
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: the I think fifty two, fifty seven, and fifty six

917
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: need to show up and be more impactful. They're running around,

918
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: looks like they're really busy, but there's not a whole

919
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: lot of physicality and production and impact in their game.

920
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: And so I think they need to take some of

921
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: that athleticism and turn it into some physicality to help

922
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: this defense perform better. Bick Ray, I've been looking at

923
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks play action and boots scheme because I look

924
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: at the Niners and it seems to work for them, right,

925
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: So then I look at the Seahawks and I go, Okay,

926
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: what's not working for these guys? Because the linebackers or

927
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers were extremely disciplined. I mean, they

928
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: did not bite on the play fake. So do you

929
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: think it's it's more of the play action by the

930
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: offensive lineman showing run or is it the mess in

931
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: the backfield between the quarterback and the running back. Is

932
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: it the body language of geno or is it a

933
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: combination of everything? Or okay another or my bad, big Ray?

934
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: Or is it just that those linebackers for the Niners

935
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: are just that good. Well, no more oars, dang't on it.

936
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: Let's just give use all your oars for the whole season.

937
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: Okay from you, I'm done question. I think in the like, uh,

938
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: there's always this idea that you don't need a great

939
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: running game to have great play action. And I think

940
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: that that's true on certain plays. But when you're trying

941
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: to run boots, you have to have some success running

942
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: the ball away from where you're booting from to get

943
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: those backside defenders to chase. If you don't have a

944
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: running game and you feel like and it's getting stuffed

945
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: on the front side, then those backside dudes have no

946
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: no reason to go chasing, so they can just stay

947
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: disciplined and stay back on the back side enough the

948
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: field and make it difficult. So if you look at

949
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, like for us, like Dwayne, I mean not Dwayne,

950
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: Daryl Taylor is suspect to that because he goes he

951
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: chases everything, whether it's good or bad, and so he's

952
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: susceptible to getting the boot back to his side because

953
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: he chases the ball. So I think that at sometimes

954
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: I think you have to maybe there was a couple

955
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: of times they had an overhangs on the back side,

956
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: so they had two guys on the line of skirmish

957
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: outside the tackle, and those of the dudes were booting

958
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: back too. So now you got to fool two guys

959
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: to get to make the boot work. And so maybe

960
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: that's something that you know has the ability to check

961
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: out of and then just go with the run or

962
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: whatever or changed or different pathway, because it's hard to

963
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: fool one dude, it's super hard to foold two dudes.

964
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: I want to look ahead to Week three. Here the

965
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: week three opponent at home lumen Field, the Atlanta Falcons.

966
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: The Falcons are O and two have put up twenty

967
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: plus points in both of those losses, though, and in

968
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: previous years we might have said, oh, here's you know,

969
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: chalk it up to a win against a weak opponent. Ray,

970
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: can you say that this year about these Seahawks. You know,

971
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: I normally save my good right game prediction for teams

972
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: that you kind of feel good about that you're going

973
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: to go in and get a win. But I think

974
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,399
Speaker 1: the Seahaws need to get right game in the fact

975
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: that they need to get their mentality right like that,

976
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: like how what type of running offense are we're going

977
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: to be. You know, in the first game, they were

978
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: hunting and finding completions for Geno, throwing it to the

979
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: tight end, taking those checkdowns, keeping them change moving. And

980
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: this game it seemed like they were trying to push

981
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: the ball down the fiddle a little more and maybe

982
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 1: even forcing them throws and not trying to hunt and

983
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: find for completions. You know, one of the things I've

984
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: been tracking was the amount of touches between the tight

985
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: ends and the running backs. First game, they had a

986
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,959
Speaker 1: combined I think like twenty something touches for one hundred

987
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: and sixty two yards and two touchdowns. In this game,

988
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: they had sixteen total touches for forty four yards and

989
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. So I think that maybe going back to

990
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: that model of trying to find completion versus trying to

991
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: force the ball down the field and then really truly

992
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: deciding like, how how the heck are we going to

993
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: run the ball? Are we going to be this multiple

994
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: looks in the backfield and pulling and you know, all

995
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: these things, or we're gonna go back to just getting

996
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: downhill and then add those things as add ons and

997
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: not as the offense. So I think if they can

998
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 1: get that mindset right, and then on defense, like I said,

999
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: fifty number fifty two, fifty seven, fifty six, they need

1000
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: to find a way to show up in the game

1001
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: in a way that's impactful. Darrel is rushing hard and

1002
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: running fast, but missing tackles and been undisciplined and things.

1003
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: And then I mean, I mean obviously planning get offensive

1004
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: line and uh forty nine, but there was a few

1005
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: times where you know, Cody Barton was fifteen yards down

1006
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: the field, you know, up under runned offensive line and

1007
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: so can't play like that and expect to stop the run.

1008
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: So I think they have to really bring some physicality

1009
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: on defense and then figure out what that identity is

1010
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: going to be on offense. Really good things to watch

1011
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: for in this game. He is Ray Roberts. You can

1012
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: hear him again on the Seahawks pre and postgame show

1013
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: with Michael Bumpus. Ray, thanks so much, Oh thanks for

1014
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: having you guys. How we're going see Ray? Yeah, all right,

1015
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: we're gonna get an opponent preview coming up at one

1016
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: thirty talking with Andy Bunker of ninety two nine the

1017
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: game out in Atlanta Before then, though, one more local voice.

1018
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: How about the voice of the Seahawks. Steve Rabel joins us. Next,

1019
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: you are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus,

1020
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross joining us. Now it's Steve Rabel, Voice

1021
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. Steve, how's it going your phone? Old man?

1022
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm right here, hey, Raves. Obviously this is a game

1023
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: that we all want to forget and move forward. But

1024
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 1: were you were you surprised in any way to see

1025
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: the game they had against San Francisco? Forget what exactly exactly?

1026
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: All right? Yes, when you're talking to as Dave said,

1027
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: an old man, so I tend to forget a lot. So, yes,

1028
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: what do I remember about this game? What would I

1029
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: like to forget? I you know, it's it's still early.

1030
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: We all tend to kind of get a little carried away.

1031
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's the second game and we're

1032
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: one and one. It's not like we got blown out

1033
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: the first week and lost this week and people are

1034
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,439
Speaker 1: scrambling for answers. But I just think, as I said

1035
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: after the game on Sunday down there in the Bay Area,

1036
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we just have to just have to execute

1037
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot better on offense on defense with the

1038
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: exception of a block field goal attempt on special teams

1039
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 1: as well, and I fully expect that's going to happen well.

1040
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 1: And the other thing too, Steve, I think it's almost

1041
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: good for this team because of all the teams in

1042
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, that team executes more than anyone we saw.

1043
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: On defense, they weren't they weren't falling for any of

1044
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: the trick plays, and on offense it was great. But

1045
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: I guess my hope is that they leave the young

1046
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: guys out there, let them, you know, continue to I

1047
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: don't want to say fail, but let them learn lessons,

1048
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: and then you know, by maybe the next time that

1049
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 1: they play the Niners, when that comes around, they're they're

1050
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: up to the task. Yeah. I think we talked about it, David.

1051
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: You know, the Niners are what the Seahawks want to be.

1052
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: The way they played football, with that kind of that

1053
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: ability to disrupt the opposing offense, with that great defensive front,

1054
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: that brush game that they have on defense is pretty outstanding.

1055
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: They've got really good linebackers that can run sideline to

1056
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: sideline and quite frankly, you know, they didn't have a

1057
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: lot of the guys that were in recent memory, the

1058
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: really fine defensive players that they've had. But the guys

1059
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: in the secondary played well also. I mean it took

1060
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: a miraculus was one handed catch for DK Medcap to

1061
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: make a long reception one of the few passes downfield

1062
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: that Gino was able to complete, and it got called

1063
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: back because of a penalty. So those guys, that's the

1064
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 1: kind of defense we want to play and offensively in

1065
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: how many help fuel words can I say? And we

1066
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: want to run the ball like they do, and I

1067
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: think we have the ability and the player is especially

1068
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: in the running back spot. We got the guys, but

1069
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: we have to do a better job in opening some

1070
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: even the smallest sliver of a gap for those guys

1071
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: to be able to break free. We just need to

1072
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: do a better job across the front and all across

1073
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: the offense ray as we saw Locket go for over

1074
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: one hundred or nine catches. But you mentioned DK's big

1075
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: play being called back. You try to get them the

1076
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: fullball and the end zone with DJ Dallas thrown at

1077
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: that that little trick play. What are things that you

1078
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: think this offense can do to make sure a fourteen

1079
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: is getting his touches down the field. Well, I think,

1080
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: as you know, uh, and we've talked about, it's a

1081
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: lot that that kind of shell coverage that they play

1082
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: basically comes out to be almost a double coverage to

1083
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: the outside, and and that you know, I still give

1084
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: DCA an opportunity to make make plays even against double coverage.

1085
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: The tough part is if you throw back inside against

1086
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: the double coverage, you're you're counting on trouble for the

1087
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: safety to you know, to undercut the play, make make

1088
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: an interception or at least a knockdown. So if you're

1089
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: going to try to get it to DK, it's to

1090
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: my way of thinking, at least right now, it's to

1091
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 1: the outside. It's all the edges. It's letting him go

1092
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: up and make the play. On the sidelines. He can

1093
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: outjump anybody. He's faster than nine of those guys. That's

1094
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: to me where a lot of those opportunities for DK

1095
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: are and any inside but on a quicker path, the

1096
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: slant routes before you get to the safety and then

1097
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: let him run with the football. Tyler is great because

1098
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: he throttles down, he knows exactly where those open areas are.

1099
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 1: He can stop his quarterback, no how he's going to respond,

1100
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: and then he catches everything that's in his zip codes.

1101
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: So I think that's one of the ways that you

1102
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: utilize those guys and the and the other thing is

1103
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: you got to run the football for teams to be

1104
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: able to focus a little bit on the run and

1105
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: have to honor that. And maybe they can't drop back

1106
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: in double coverage all the time. Maybe they can't drop

1107
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,839
Speaker 1: back in that shell. If you can't run against their

1108
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: defensive front and their linebackers without bringing the safeties down,

1109
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: then you're going to make your offense pretty, you know,

1110
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: one dimensional, and that's that's not how you win football games. Now,

1111
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: this is a related question. Normally, um, Steve, I would

1112
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: ask whose name do you hope to hear more on

1113
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: the next broadcast, But you're the one saying the name.

1114
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: So in this case, whose name do you hope you're

1115
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: calling more in this game? Wow? That's a that's a

1116
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Well, I you know, I was

1117
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: hoping that we get a chance to really see what

1118
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 1: ken walk or the third is all about. And he

1119
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: had just no luck at all nowhere to run and

1120
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: it was difficult for him. I think it's going to start.

1121
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: I think it's going to start with with Rashad Penny.

1122
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: We have to get him off the dime. We have

1123
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: to get him breaking free on some runs because again

1124
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: that sets that sets up everything else. And then yeah,

1125
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: I would like to see a DJ get more involved.

1126
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got some catches, but not for very

1127
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: much yardage. And you know, when you can run the

1128
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: ball and hit those pass plays that you know, like

1129
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: you're in a second and four or a third and

1130
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: five situation as opposed to third and twelve. I mean

1131
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: I heard Tyler talking about it after the game. How

1132
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: many times were we in those situations? Well, first of all,

1133
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: we didn't have the ball a lot, but it seemed

1134
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: like third down was third and forever a lot And

1135
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: those are tough plays to recover from. So you need

1136
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: to convert those kind of things to give those players

1137
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: Rashad and DJ an opportunity to do what they do.

1138
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: Rape who's a guy that you've come to rely on

1139
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 1: and these this short season, couple couple of games. But

1140
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, I throw out there, NUOSU, it looks like

1141
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: Charles Cross is playing pretty good. But on the bright side,

1142
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: somebody that stands out to you that you've been calling

1143
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: their names on the broadcast quite a bit. Right now,

1144
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: I'd say, Al Woods, I mean, you know, we're not

1145
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,959
Speaker 1: getting a whole lot of pressure Inosu. Yes, is getting

1146
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: some pressure off the but for just kind of causing

1147
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: havoc at the beginning of a play and in the backfield,

1148
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: just taking the center and guard and throwing them aside

1149
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: until he can get to the running back or the quarterback.

1150
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: And maybe he doesn't make the play, but just the

1151
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: disruption that he causes. And what I think he was

1152
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: saying after the game was, Yeah, we're getting disruption up there,

1153
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: but then we're not getting other guys to get to

1154
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: the point of attack to make the play. And that's

1155
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: something else that you have to got to get off.

1156
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: Black's got to get a field. But al And it's

1157
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: not a surprise. I mean, he is a prose pro well,

1158
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: he is prepared and he's just a huge human being

1159
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: for crying out loud. So when he when he causes

1160
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 1: what he causes in the middle of that offensive front,

1161
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: you have to take advantage of that. You have to

1162
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: rally those guys, the other guys around him to make

1163
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: plays as a football And I'm happy to be calling

1164
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: Al's name early and often, and I hope I get

1165
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: to do it again a lot this week. Rabel, It's

1166
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: been a while since we've seen a big return, whether

1167
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: be putner return or kickoff return. Are you surprised by

1168
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:40,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett's back returning kicks? And could you see anybody

1169
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: else being a returner back they're making a big play

1170
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 1: for the Hawks. Well, I'm not surprised, mostly because he's

1171
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: just so good. He's so surehanded, and I'm talking about

1172
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: Tyler obviously, and he just will continuously make plays and

1173
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: you know you count on him not to drop the ball.

1174
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised. I'm kind of wondering why d

1175
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: is not back there because they they sort of had

1176
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: talked about him in terms of being the number one

1177
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: return guy, especially for a guy like Tyler who's out

1178
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: there on the field so many offensive plays. You got

1179
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: to give these guys a little bit of a chance

1180
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: to take a break. So I don't quite know what

1181
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: this story is on D. I know he didn't practice

1182
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: a lot during training camp and he's been fighting a

1183
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: hamstring issue. I get all that, but he's a pretty

1184
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: talented guy too, and they have just not utilized him

1185
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: at all, at least not. They've tried, perhaps, but he

1186
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: just hasn't shown up. They haven't been able to get

1187
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: into the ball. So I'm a little surprised to Tyler's

1188
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: back there. I'm looking for Dallas DJ to kind of

1189
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: break off a kick return here and you know, get

1190
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: it out past the thirty. You gotta be careful. Sometimes

1191
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: DJ gets a little excited, and you know, he runs

1192
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: the length of the field, the width of the field

1193
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: to try to get to that one pickoff. By the

1194
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: time he turned up field and started running, they were

1195
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: already to the ten yard line, the Niners were when

1196
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: they made the tackle. So you gotta you know, you

1197
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: gotta be thinking along those lines too. But yeah, I'd

1198
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: like to see a big return coming up here. And

1199
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: it'sure is a way to get quick points and easy points.

1200
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes they don't show up as much in the stats,

1201
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: but they sure help not only on the scoreboard, but

1202
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: they helped turn the tide of the game. All right.

1203
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: He has the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, Steve,

1204
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: thanks so much, all right, kids, thank you see yah,

1205
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: all right, do not look past the Atlanta Falcons. I

1206
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: feel like that has been the theme of some of

1207
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: our conversations so far. So let's get an opponent preview

1208
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: with Andy Bunker, he joins us. Next, you are listening

1209
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus, and Stacy Rost.

1210
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna take an opponent preview here in just one

1211
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: minute with Andy Bunker of ninety two nine the game

1212
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: out in Atlanta. Before we get Andy on the line,

1213
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: bump I'm gonna jump to you. I asked Dave this

1214
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: last question. But you mentioned Marcus Mariota earlier. I know

1215
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: that for many people they see him as a bridge

1216
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: quarterback out in Atlanta. He still got some deadly weapons there.

1217
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's got some weapons. Got Drake and London,

1218
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: the reigning Pack twelve offensive player of the Year, and

1219
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play with the last like three games at

1220
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: USC that's how good he was. Broke his ankle. You

1221
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: got Kyle Pitts over there, the receiver slash tight end

1222
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: out of Florida, a couple of years ago, top ten pick.

1223
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: And then you got Patterson in the backfield, a guy

1224
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: who does a little bit of everything. We've seen him

1225
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: at running back, receiver, the return game. So there are

1226
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: some weapons that you have to pay attention to him.

1227
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: The thing about a veteran quarterback is they just know

1228
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: the game. Look at Joe Flacko over there with the

1229
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: Jets man. He their trust this man to throw the

1230
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: ball forty times fifty times for one game. So this

1231
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta team isn't a team that you expect to do

1232
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: much this year, but you expect them to be competitive

1233
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: and they've been that so far. All right, let's bring

1234
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: on Andy Bunker right now of ninety two nine the

1235
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: game out in Atlanta. Andy. We were just talking about

1236
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: Mariotta obviously, but it's really fascinating to me. This is

1237
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: an Atlanta Falcons team that, much like the Seahawks, not

1238
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of folks outside of the cities had high

1239
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: expectations for Have they surprised you this year? Have they

1240
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: fallen in line with what you thought? I think in

1241
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: some ways they've fallen in line. I mean there's been

1242
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: some there's been some good surprises early in terms of individuals.

1243
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: But um, they're O and two and they played two

1244
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: really good teams and you know they were competitive in

1245
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: both of them, kind of opposite games where they had

1246
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: a big lead in week one and blew the lead,

1247
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: and then in week two they were really far behind

1248
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: and came almost all the way back. But to know

1249
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: that they're O and two or two. If I would

1250
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: have known that they would be O and two, I

1251
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. I guess I'm a little bit surprised

1252
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: at how they got here. But yeah, it's it's pretty

1253
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: much what folks were expecting this football team to look like. Andy,

1254
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: it was. It's great to hear your voice. First of all, Um, Hey,

1255
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: we were just talking to Yeah, I'm good man, Um,

1256
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: are you coming up for the game. By the way,

1257
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: I wish, man, I wish I would love to go

1258
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: see U do play Stanford on Saturday, but unfortunately I

1259
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: am I am not. Yeah, Well, we were just talking

1260
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: to Rabel about Al Woods and how he's kind of

1261
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: an unsung hero, just a guy and they're battling who

1262
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: who would be a team or I'm sorry, a player

1263
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcon team that you would say the

1264
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: same thing about. Probably Grady Jarrett. I mean, he's such

1265
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: a good player right in the middle of the defensive line.

1266
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: And an interesting thing about Grady is he's kind of

1267
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: been around for a long time now. He was a

1268
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: rookie on that team that went to the Super Bowl,

1269
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: and he just hasn't had a ton of guys around him,

1270
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately kind of still doesn't. I mean,

1271
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: they're building a young defense around him right now, and

1272
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: he's such a such a good player, such a steady player. Hopefully,

1273
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: as the Falcons you know, are in year two now

1274
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: as a new coach and a new general manager, as

1275
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: they're rebuilding this roster, hopefully before Grady gets too old,

1276
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: they can put some guys around him and really try

1277
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: to build up that defensive line. But it's it's an

1278
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: interesting he's an interesting guy and that he's just been

1279
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: such a good player for now such a long time

1280
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: for the Falcons, and unfortunately, you know, he went from

1281
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: as a young player on a really good team to

1282
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the last handful of years they just haven't been very good.

1283
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can put some dudes around him so

1284
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: by the time he's by the time he's out of

1285
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: the league, he will have played on a decent defensive line.

1286
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: And he's speaking of some young dude. You guys have

1287
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: a good young receiver in Drake and London over there.

1288
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: You also have the tight end slash receiver Kyle Pitts,

1289
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: and Mariotta the old man lead him the charge over

1290
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: there with the offense. Has there been any rumbles of

1291
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: people wanting to see Desmond Ritter or do the fans

1292
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: and the organization realize that, or I have come to

1293
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the conclusion that there's going to take their time and

1294
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: developed as young man. I think that before Week one,

1295
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody was on the same page about Mariota.

1296
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: He looked good in preseason. He played in Arthur Smith's

1297
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: soft ends, so when they were together in Tennessee, you know,

1298
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: Desmon Ritter was up round draft picks. So I think

1299
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: people were kind of on the same page as far

1300
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: as okay, you know, let the offense maybe be what

1301
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be with Mariota at some point, if Mariota

1302
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: gets banged up, which which he often does, or you know,

1303
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: depending on how the season's going later in the year,

1304
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: maybe you'll see ridder. But then Week one and two happened,

1305
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: and and like we talked about earlier, the Falcons were competitive,

1306
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: They had a chance to win both games, and Mariota

1307
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: made some pretty critical mistakes in both of those games.

1308
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: There was a chance the Falcons were up big against

1309
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the Saints in Week one. They had a chance to

1310
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: go up thirty to ten and Mariota fumbled inside the

1311
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: ten yard line and ultimately they come away with three points,

1312
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: but they really could have put the Saints away midway

1313
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: through the second half had that drive resulted in a touchdown.

1314
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Last week, some overthrows a bad decision in the red

1315
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: zone late in the game which resulted in an interception.

1316
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey went up and got one, and then the

1317
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: final play of the game, Falcons got the ball back

1318
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: and had a chance for the hill may and Mariota

1319
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: took a pretty bad back. So I think the actual

1320
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: games playing out the way that they have has gotten

1321
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Falcons fans interested in seeing Desmond ritter.

1322
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Falcons are going to be losing

1323
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: games anyway, you might as well. This is what people

1324
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: are saying. I don't know if this is the reality

1325
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: or not, but you might as well do that with

1326
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: the young guy and see what you have. They're not

1327
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: going to do that yet. They're gonna let Mariota have.

1328
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: My guests would be at least the first six weeks

1329
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: or so of the season. But look if Sunday goes

1330
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: the same way, and if the Falcons and the Seahawks

1331
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: are in a fight and Marcus Mariota those an interception,

1332
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, he only has so many mistakes before the

1333
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: young kid gets to take over. Any key injuries in

1334
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: this one we should know about. For the most part,

1335
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: the Falcons are in pretty good shape. They've been banged

1336
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: up a little bit at the receiver position, not London.

1337
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: London was banged up throughout the entire preseason, but he's

1338
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: okay now. But but on down the depth chart, they

1339
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: lost their what I guess was the starting running back

1340
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: in Damian Williams week one, but that just allows the

1341
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: Salcets to start Tyler l Gear, who is their draft

1342
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: pick out of BYU. So by and large, the Falcons

1343
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: are in pretty good shape coming into this game. It's

1344
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: not a pretty faithful fan base out there, Andy, the

1345
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Falcons have they have to be they have to be, man,

1346
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not easy to be a Falcons Fanum.

1347
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: They are a very faithful fan base. I mean, I

1348
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: know that folks might tune into games home games, every

1349
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, every Sunday, i'd see some empty seats, but

1350
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 1: people care a lot about the team. They just they

1351
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,959
Speaker 1: want to be entertained that they want to see something

1352
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: good on the field, and unfortunately the last handful of

1353
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: years it hasn't been great. And you know, throughout the

1354
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: history of the franchise it hasn't been great. So if

1355
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: they weren't die hards, they wouldn't have any fans. So

1356
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: Balcus fans are tough. Many it's it's been a tough

1357
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. But hopefully, you know, new coach, new

1358
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: general manager. There are some exciting young players like you

1359
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: guys talked about with Drake Lennon and cow Fits. You

1360
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: can kind of see it coming together a little bit.

1361
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, Dalculs fans has been through it. I

1362
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: was gonna say, to be fair, they've been through a

1363
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of heartbreak, so I'll give him that One's not

1364
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: that long ago. Yeah, nope, nope, nope. All right, he

1374
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: share off our final thoughts. Some keys to the game

1375
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 1: do not go anywhere. This is the huddle. You are

1376
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: listening to the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael Bumpus, and

1377
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Stacy rosst A couple updates here from John Boyles. Set

1378
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: to join us in just a couple of minutes. Jamal

1379
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Adams had surgery. Everything went well. He's home recovering right now,

1380
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: So I mean that's certainly a good thing. But m Dave,

1381
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with you for this question inspired

1382
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: by something Michael Bumpus said, but I'm going to go

1383
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: to you first for your reaction. Did it feel when

1384
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: you were watching the game against the forty nine ers

1385
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: like Jamal adams loss was especially obvious. Yeah. I just

1386
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: think that's going to be the case in every game

1387
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: this year. I have such a high opinion of him,

1388
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not alone because you know, Clint Hurt talks

1389
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: about him all the time and about what a special

1390
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: player he is. And you know, when you lose a

1391
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: guy like that, there's just no replacing him. And it's

1392
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: nothing against I love Josh Jones. His story is fantastic.

1393
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: We had him on our show and he just, um,

1394
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: he's very inspiring player and I think you know he'll

1395
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: get it. But look, I mean it doesn't matter what,

1396
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 1: um you know, who's who's backing up Jamal Adams. I

1397
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: mean unless it's like Minka Fitzpatrick or you know, some

1398
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: somebody who who's a Pro Bowl or you're just not

1399
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 1: going to quite get the same aut of him. So yeah,

1400
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 1: Jamal is just U He's irreplaceable. But look, it's next

1401
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: guy up. And you know, as much of a shame

1402
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: as that is, it's it's just something that's part of

1403
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: every season that you know you're gonna have injuries to

1404
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 1: key figures as the season goes on. Joining us right now.

1405
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: John Boyle, reporter for Seahawks dot Com, Official team reporter, John,

1406
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: you just released your mailbag on Seahawks dot Com. What

1407
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 1: was the most common concern you got from Frans. You know,

1408
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: there's really kind of two obvious ones. The offense just

1409
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: not scoring in six quarters. There's a lot of reasons

1410
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: for that. But if you go six quarters with that

1411
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: offensive score, that's concerning. And then defensively, I think people

1412
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: worried about the misstackles are seeing that the big runs

1413
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: have been allowed out so um, and those line up

1414
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: with what Pete Carroll's been talking about as well. So

1415
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: it's not like the team doesn't know they've got some

1416
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: things to clean up. Josh Jones is the new Jamal Adams.

1417
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I shouldn't even say that there's no replace. Let's not

1418
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: put that Adams, but Josh Jones is in for Jamal Adams.

1419
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 1: But um, we saw him playing the box in some

1420
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: ways that we felt Jamal Adams will play. He had

1421
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 1: a TfL I believe. Um, what's the feeling around Josh

1422
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: Jones first performance being in that role? Ye, Pete Carroll

1423
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: said it is pretty solid. There's you know, a couple

1424
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: of mistackles. I believe that they they'd like to get fixed.

1425
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: But he did most everything they asked him too, and

1426
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: did it well. You know, going back to last week,

1427
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy. They have a lot of confidence in

1428
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: both him and Ryan Neal. Nobody's gonna be Jamal he's

1429
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: too unique of a player, so you're not going to

1430
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: replicate everything Jamal Adams does, but they do have a

1431
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of faith in those guys to hold it down

1432
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: with Jamal out. Yeah, John, you wrote a great article

1433
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: about Josh Jones, and maybe maybe take us through that

1434
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: a little bit because maybe I asked you about this

1435
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: last week. I'm not I don't think suck. We talk

1436
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: to him on Friday, but just you know, it was

1437
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: kind of to me it was like an example of

1438
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: the power of Pete Carroll. Yeah, he just gets the

1439
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: most out of guys and he gives them pep talks

1440
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: and gets them going, and it's like he turned his

1441
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: career around. Yeah, you know, I think that's one of

1442
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's biggest strengths is and stilling confidence and guys.

1443
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: And Josh Shosa said, you know, he probably wouldn't be

1444
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: here right now if it weren't for Pete Carroll that

1445
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that kind of bounced around.

1446
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: Was seen as a disappointment as a second round pick

1447
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: who didn't really make it. He only lasted two years

1448
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, came here, played well in one game Laser,

1449
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: but come off season he wasn't sure he really wanted

1450
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: to go through all this again. He'd been you know,

1451
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: kud a bunch of times, been out of a bunch

1452
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: of practice squads, had his third child on the way,

1453
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: and just kind of thought is this worth this whole

1454
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 1: grind again? And he said it really came down to

1455
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll calling him this spring is around draft time

1456
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: and just being like, Hey, what's going on. Let's get

1457
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: you back out here, and you know, he kind of

1458
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: talked him into it, made him believe in himself and

1459
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: now here he is a starter probably you know for

1460
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: most of the season. Now it sounds like, Man, I

1461
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: love Pee for that. He always finds a way to

1462
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 1: bring the best out of people, man, And I think

1463
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 1: he's going to bring the best out of Kobe Bryant.

1464
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: We saw a bit more of him this weekend at

1465
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: that Nickel's spot. What have we seen out of him?

1466
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: And do you think we'll still see rotation between him

1467
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: and JC? Yeah? And we got to see first of all,

1468
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: if justin Coleman's back health wise, because that was kind

1469
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: of what put Kobe in that role. But you know,

1470
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: we saw them before the injury. They were kind of

1471
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: competing in camp and they gave Kobe a little bit

1472
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: of work in the opener, but Justin handled that role

1473
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: for the most part. Yeah, I think, you know, once

1474
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: they're both healthy, I think we're going to see Kobe

1475
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: push him for playing time there. I mean, you did

1476
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Well, there's pretty crucial penalty there

1477
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: on third down, and Pete Carroll talked about that today

1478
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: that that's you know, not just him all over the secondary.

1479
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: They got to clean up some penalty issues, but other

1480
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: than that, they liked what he did a lot in

1481
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: that first kind of full, full time playing role for him.

1482
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll talked about letting Gino loose. How did you

1483
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: interpret that? You know, I think it just means having

1484
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: confidence in him to make some more difficult throws and

1485
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: you know, challenge defenses a little more. If team are gonna,

1486
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, really commit to stopping certain things, take advantage

1487
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: of that. And you know, he's compleaning eighty percent of

1488
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: his passes through two games, so he's accurate. It's just

1489
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: you know a lot of them have been short, very

1490
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: safe throws. So I think it's they want to see

1491
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 1: him push the ball downfield a little bit more and

1492
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: take some more shots so they get that explosive part

1493
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: of the passing game going. Can't say enough about al Woods, John,

1494
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they made him the captain and you certainly

1495
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: can see how the effect that he's having. I mean,

1496
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: that guy, no matter what, goes out and plays a

1497
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: good game. Yeah. I mean, he's been so good since

1498
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, really last year when they brought him back.

1499
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: He you know, he's been one of their most consistent

1500
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: defensive players now going back to the twenty twenty one season.

1501
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Three tackles for lost last week. That's a career high

1502
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 1: for him, and seven tackles, which you know, you know, Dave,

1503
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: that's not a huge number for a linebacker, but that's

1504
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot of tackles for a nose

1505
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: tackle type player. So yeah, I mean he is such

1506
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: a steadying force, great leader, and really a playmaker too,

1507
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: so they love having him in the middle mixing it up. John.

1508
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: We talk a lot of these about these young guys

1509
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: and how they're developing, but I'm also interested to see

1510
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: how these coordinators developed. Clinton Hurt going to his third season,

1511
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 1: third week as a coordinator, Shane Waldron to me like

1512
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: his first real season being able to do exactly what

1513
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: he wants to do is there's something we should be

1514
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: looking for on both sides of the ball from the coordinators. Yeah,

1515
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: I mean offensively, I think it goes back to what

1516
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: we just talked about Geno is maybe it's time to

1517
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: just open up the passing game a little more and

1518
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 1: get a little more aggressive. But I think where we

1519
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: might see more change week to week is the defense,

1520
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 1: just because it's also new. They're doing a lot of

1521
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: different new things and they weren't really wanting to show

1522
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:36,560
Speaker 1: it in the preseason or did they have most of

1523
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: their starters in in the preseason. So Pete Carroll kind

1524
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: of alluded to that earlier in the week being part

1525
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: of the tackling issues. There's just a lot of newness

1526
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: in the scheme and they want to get you know,

1527
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,600
Speaker 1: obviously sometimes it's just a guy making a play. But

1528
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: part of the tackling issue that he pointed out is

1529
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: they any more guys around the ball. You know, you

1530
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: don't want it to always be one guy having to

1531
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: make that play by himself. So schematically, I think we're

1532
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 1: just gonna see the defense kind of find itself as

1533
01:13:58,120 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the season goes along. All Right, I have an assignment

1534
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: for I'll say all four of us, I'll I'll play too. Um.

1535
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: So I'm going to tell you it now, so that Wyman,

1536
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 1: you're going first. You have a minute to think about it.

1537
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I want us all to think about basically what we

1538
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: learned about the Seahawks team in week two and then

1539
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: maybe a key to either a victory in week three

1540
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: or something you just want to see in week three.

1541
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Something you're interested in, could be a player, it could

1542
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: be anything, anything really, So Wyman, I'll start with you. John.

1543
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: I've loved having you here for these by the way,

1544
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 1: helping us wrap up the huddle. So you will go

1545
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 1: after Wyman and Bump. We'll have you go third, and

1546
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 1: I'll wrap everything up. So Wyman take it away. Well,

1547
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: I saw what Ray saw, and that's that the linebackers

1548
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: are physical at the point of attack, but they just

1549
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: need to get off blocks, you know. That's That's one

1550
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: thing I think that I love Jordan and love Cody

1551
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: and those guys. I think that's something that they got

1552
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 1: a little bit too. My coach used to call it,

1553
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 1: don't get in a personal battle with the offensive guard,

1554
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: you know, hit him, shed him, get off the block,

1555
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: kind of like Jamal Adams does, so you know that

1556
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 1: that's something that's key. I think also, you know outside backers,

1557
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: particularly Darryl Taylor, Um, he's kind of the Chase the

1558
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: mailman guy. I mean, he needs to slow it down

1559
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: and you know, be more disciplined. And then for him,

1560
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's mistackles. So those guys just need

1561
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 1: to work on that once that comes around. Those are

1562
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: all three just spectacular players. You know, I'll stick with defense.

1563
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 1: I think one thing we've really learned in two weeks

1564
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: is both the cornerbacks Mike Jackson and Trique Willon are

1565
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: really good at being all over their guys being in coverage.

1566
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 1: Now we need to see him just figure out that

1567
01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:35,240
Speaker 1: fine point of being all over them without getting the

1568
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: flags because there's been too many flags. And I'll tie

1569
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: that into you know, what I want to see in

1570
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: this game is just how about no penalty extending third

1571
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 1: down drives because those are yeah, I mean the ball

1572
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: hits the ground and everybody thinks you're off the field

1573
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 1: and then up now there's that yellow flag somewhere in

1574
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the secondary. So I think this defense is good enough

1575
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: to you know, get a lot of stops and help

1576
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: the team win games. If they can stop handing those

1577
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: extra first downs up bump, the job gets harder and

1578
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: harder as well. That's the worst, right when you they

1579
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: make a plan on third round and I'm looking on

1580
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: the TV, like, whereas the flag please no flay? Yeah?

1581
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: Something I saw Ken Walker with that eight yard run

1582
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: inside I believe it was the ten or inside the

1583
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: fifteen was an impressive run, Like you see the wiggle,

1584
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: the change of direction Like that run got me excited.

1585
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna learn real quick this the NFL. You're

1586
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to switch fields and do all

1587
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 1: that stuff all the time. But I saw a young

1588
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: man that once he gets acclimated to this game, he

1589
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: could be something nice. Um, what I need to see.

1590
01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: I need to see more of that three running back

1591
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: or four running back. If you're gonna do that, If

1592
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be part of your game plan, put it

1593
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: on film and let's run it a bit more before

1594
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: we start trying to take take shots at an end zone.

1595
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: And I feel like DJ Dallas if he did it again,

1596
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: he would complete that throw. But it's just I just

1597
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: want to if that's gonna be part of your offense,

1598
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: let's see it a bit more this week. I'm getting

1599
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: very meta, very existential for the final thought ten seconds here.

1600
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: I think we've learned that this team knows who they

1601
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: want to be. They have yet to really tell into it, though,

1602
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: so I'd like two in Week three. See one of

1603
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: those two things get going. Either the defense can get

1604
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: some takeaways no interceptions yet on defense, or against a

1605
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 1: run defense that's allowing one hundred and eight yards per game,

1606
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: we can get penny going in this one. This has

1607
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: been the huddle. John Boyle joining us for our final

1608
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: thoughts and a wrap up here for Dave Wyman. For
