1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Seahawks insiders. Russell It takes the snap, 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: steps up in the pocket, looks task ticking. Now he's 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: gonna drow Tyler Locker looks for the ball. He's got 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Straighthawks getting you ready for Seahawks football every Sunday. 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: The handoff inside of Carson starts up the middle, now 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: bounces it across the lot to Straighthawks powered by Seahawks 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: dot Com. Jen Nieler alongside John Boyle getting ready for 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Sunday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguar. Something that I did 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: not think we would be talking about is the fact John, 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: that the Seahawks need to snap a three game losing streak. 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: I can't even remember the last time we talked about 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: something like that because we weren't doing this podcast. Last 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: time it happened, it was in twenty eleven. I was 14 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: not employed by the team, so we have not talked 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: about it. In fact well, and despite how unusual it 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: is and how different it feels, John, I would say this, 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: the vibe around the Bill Dena and around the team, 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: I think maybe is a little bit more optimistic than 19 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: people would expect, maybe determined is the better word on that. Yeah, 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean they're looking at it as nobody's 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: happy about the record. Obviously that's no good. But they've 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: been in almost I mean, really the Minnesota games, you 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: only one the only game you look at where you're like, okay, 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: we were out of that game, And the other four 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: losses they could have easily found a way to win 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: those at the end of the game. So you know, 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: you gotta get hot now. If you're gonna make the playoffs, 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: you got to win a lot of games. But they 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: look at the talent they have on this team. They 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: know Russell Wilson has come back at some point. They're 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: confident that there's still enough games to get this going. 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: We do not have a timeline on Russell's return. We 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: know he needs to miss at least one more game 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: than the team will be on its by hopefully that 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: will be enough, but there really is no indication as 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: to when he might return. We do know, when you 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: look at the playoff picture, which is still a little 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 1: bit early right now, you do have an additional team 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: that makes the playoffs this year, so that kind of 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: bumps up those chances. But there are so many teams 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: that are bunched together in those standings. There is a 42 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: path for the Seahawks going forward, but you cannot have 43 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: the same mistakes that you've made. When we talked to 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: Will Disley this week, he said, look, anytime you were 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: in those close games, like those one score games, it 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: always comes down to eight or nine plays on either 47 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: side of the ball. I hadn't really thought about the 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: number of plays, but I think he's right. Yeah. I mean, 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: you look at whether it's a crucial penalty that which 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks had a few of the last game, or obviously 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: a turnover is always big, or just that sack that 52 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: kills a drive. Yeah, I mean, you can point any 53 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: game just be like, you fix these few things right 54 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: here and totally different outcome. For so long, though, it 55 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: seemed like the Seahawks would get the bounce in those 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: close games, whether you want to call it luckham or momentum. 57 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just going back to the legion of boom. 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: But what the last few weeks have reminded the Seahawks 59 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: and their fans of is just how thin that margin 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: is for winning. There's no doubt, you know, don't I 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: don't know if I mentioned the other night. But you know, 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: coming off of the Super Bowls season, you know, the 63 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: first meeting we had in here, I showed these guys 64 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: the nine games that we had that were could have 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: gone either way, you know, and during the season to 66 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: make them realize again, you know how slim the margin is. 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: When you think you're all that you know, and you 68 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: know you won the World Championship and you think you 69 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: know you got it made well, every single game of 70 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: those nine games during the course of the season could 71 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: have easily could have gone the other way, just like 72 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: these these last few games have gone. So that you 73 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: respect the challenge of it and the detail that it 74 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: takes to execute, so that you can finish the games 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: in charge of the outcome instead of, you know, on 76 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: the other side of it. And that's how it goes. 77 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: And I mean looks at the games. Every every weekend, 78 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the weekend is highlighted by five or six games that 79 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: all come right down to the last player, the last kick. 80 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: I did go back and look at that season. It 81 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: was five of their regular season wins and two of 82 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: their three playoff wins were all decided by one score 83 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: if you defined a zero eight points or less, and 84 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: all three losses obviously were close, so to his point, 85 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the difference between a teen win season and 86 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: then nine or ten win season can be razors slimmy. 87 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: You go back to last year, which team was twelve 88 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: and four, with you win at the goal line against 89 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: the Patriots, you get a fourth down pass to DK 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: at calf against the Vikings, and now they're not getting 91 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: those plays to go their way, and all of a 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: sudden they've lost four games either by one scorer in overtime. 93 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: I think it also feels different when those wins come 94 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,119 Speaker 1: during the course of the season, because, as I recall 95 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl season, they happened early, and so you 96 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: kind of got this feelings like, well, at least you 97 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: got the wins early, right, It would have felt entirely 98 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: different had it been five losses early on and then 99 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: you went on a run, even though the point differential 100 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: would have been the same at the end of the year. Yeah, 101 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: for sure. I mean that team kind of didn't struggle early, 102 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: but it had some tight games early and then it 103 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: really hit its groove later in the season. Well, and 104 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: we've can talk about this in terms of the Seahawks. 105 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: You can also talk about this in terms of Jacksonville. 106 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team it's easy to overlook. 107 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: They have had some drama, they have had their challenges, 108 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: and they've got a rookie quarterback. But John, this is 109 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: certainly not a team that you are going to overlook 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: for a number of different reasons. Well for starters, when 111 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: you're two and five, you can't really have overlooking anybody. 112 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you're right that Jacksonville team. They've 113 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of talented players. They've been in games 114 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: late in the game, they've been going neck and neck 115 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: with you know, Arizona, Cincinnati, some really good teams. Then 116 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, like might happen to a young, experienced team. 117 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: They don't finish very well, and they lost a bunch 118 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: of those. They finally did get their first win two 119 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago before there by, But yeah, I mean that 120 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: talent wise and just the kind of the way they're playing, 121 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: this is not a one win team you can overlook 122 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: at all. You just mentioned something that actually has me 123 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: a little bit concerned about this week's game. That and 124 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: the familiarity between these teams. It's the second week in 125 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: a row the Seahawks are going to be playing a 126 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: team that is coming off their by and we know 127 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: that if you give a team an extra week to prepare, 128 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: they are going to use it that way. And we 129 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: heard guys say this week that, yeah, they might be 130 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: running something different that they haven't put on film. Yeah, 131 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean Geno Smith talked about that. He was asked 132 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: about the timeouts they had to burn, and he said 133 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: part of the issue was that some things got installed 134 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: over the bye week. New Orleans was doing some looks 135 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: that they weren't familiar with and that led to some 136 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: confusion on offense and having to burn some of those 137 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: time out. So, yeah, I'm sure the Jaguars are going 138 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: to throw some wrinkles at the Sehawks, especially again, you 139 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: consider their offensive coordinator and passing game coordinator Brian Schottenheimer 140 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: and Darryl Level were both here for a long time 141 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: and know this defense. Well. No, Pete Carroll, Well, so 142 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: going to be a fun chess match. Yeah, And I 143 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: was just about to say Urban Meyer might be new 144 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 1: to the league, but his coaching staff is not a 145 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: lot of familiarity, and I think this is probably a 146 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: nod to how good Pete Carroll is that so many 147 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: of his coaches have ended up on that staff. Those guys, 148 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, they know the league and they have from 149 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: what I can tell from the breakdowns that I'm going 150 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: through and you know and evaluating them, that they're they've 151 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: chosen really good stuff to build their offense, and they're 152 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: using their personnel well and in particular the quarterback and 153 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: those guys have great backgrounds and they you know, they 154 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. So it's a very smart staff. 155 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: And you know, when Sanjay as will, you know, we 156 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: would expect all those guys, you know, they're going to 157 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: put together a heck of a game plan. This week, 158 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: I found an interesting Now I was talking to people 159 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and I kind of asked about this of 160 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, what's up with all the Seattle people. Is 161 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: there a connection with Urban and Pete And there isn't 162 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: really much connection there, but apparently Ermeyer has mentioned Pete 163 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: on a number of occasions, just their respect he has 164 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: for him, the culture he's built here, and that it 165 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: was intentional to go out and bring a lot of 166 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: Seattle people there just because he likes what the Seahawks 167 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: have had going here. So kind of real sign or 168 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: respect that, you know, for it's not that obvious they 169 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: coached together. They have all these mutual connections. It's just 170 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: looking from afar Urban Myer really respects what Pete Carroll's 171 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: built well, and that coaching staff has helped Trevor Lawrence 172 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: settle in. I found it interesting when talking to Bobby 173 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: Wagner this week, what he said was, the numbers are 174 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: what you would expect from a rookie when you first 175 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: come into the league. You were expecting to have the 176 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: big plays that show up the same things that you 177 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: did in college. But now, over the last few weeks, 178 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has learned to take what the defense is 179 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: giving them shorter yardage. But as a result, we are 180 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: seeing the completion percentage and the completion percentage go up, 181 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: turnovers go down. Exactly seven interceptions those first three games. 182 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: He's only had one the last three. And you know, 183 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: for a team that start out the season turning over 184 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: the ball a ton, they've cleaned that up a lot 185 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: and it's helped them function a lot better on offense. 186 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: So from a defensive standpoint, here's what we know about 187 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: that offense. They are missing some speed on the outside 188 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: with their wide receivers, and they are using agnew who's 189 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: been a return specialist as more of a wide receiver. 190 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: He's having a little bit of a breakout. They've got 191 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: a nice running game. But when we put this in perspective, 192 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: how should the Seahawks defense be playing against this team 193 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: that has talent but maybe not cohesion. Yeah, I mean, 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: I'm sure anybody you ask in that locker room is 195 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: going to say they got to stop the run. I mean, 196 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: James Robinson's are really good. First of all, they always 197 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: say stopping their run first is the main thing. But 198 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: also when you've got you know, running back average in 199 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: five and a half a carry, he's got four er 200 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: in sixty yards and six games, he's been really productive. 201 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: You know, for all the good things Trevor Lawrence has done, 202 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: he is still a rookie. He's on the road. You 203 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: don't if you're Jacksonville, you don't want him in a 204 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: position where he's got to do everything himself. So to me, 205 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: the CX defense, which has played a lot better run 206 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: defenses last couple of weeks, that's where it's going to start. Yeah, 207 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, it is interesting to look at those numbers 208 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense, especially on third down. They have improved 209 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: on third down defense, it is now twenty one percent 210 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: that they are allowing. Am I saying that right third 211 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: down over the last four weeks that which is best 212 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL? Yes, I cannot read my chicken scratch notes. 213 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: In fact, last week the Saints converted just two of 214 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: thirteen on third down, so they are making some progress. 215 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: And as I'm looking here total yards allowed, it keeps 216 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: going down as well. It was right about three hundred 217 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: yards last week against the Saints. Of course, inclement weather 218 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: that'll do a little bit to put a damper on 219 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: those yards. But I'm wondering if this is truly a 220 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: turnaround and if it will look anything like last year's turnaround. 221 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: Let's hope it's a little interesting because last year's turnaround 222 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: was all predicated on pass rush, and so far they 223 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: haven't gotten that going. It was a little better last week, 224 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: but they haven't got the pass rush going to where 225 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: it was the second half of last season. Right now, 226 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: it's more about their cleaning coverage up. Their cornerbacks are 227 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: playing better, They're cleaning up some of those zone concepts 228 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: that we're just leaving dudes wide open in the middle 229 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: of the field. So it has gotten better. I think 230 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: We're really probably not going to know for sure how 231 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: good this turnaround is until you see Green Bay, Arizona, 232 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: see the Rams again, some of these elite NFC offenses, 233 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: but certainly good progress well. And last year's turnaround was 234 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: also because you brought guys in, namely Carlos Dunlap. Right there, 235 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: there are not additions that we know of, and who 236 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen at the trade deadline, right 237 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: but there is nothing that you can count on on 238 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the defensive side coming back, And right now you already 239 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: know that you were going to be without Marquise Blair, 240 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: who every time I say fractured patella, it just makes 241 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: my leg hurts. Here's what we know is going to 242 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: happen without Blair in the lineup. Yeah, Hugo, you know 243 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: he's been playing the spot for a year now. He's 244 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: done a really nice job and like I said to 245 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: you all along, there was never a case where he 246 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: was losing his job. We just thought Marcus needed to 247 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: play and deserve playtime. Also, remember Marquis was there first 248 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 1: way back when, and so we recognize that, and so 249 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: really Ugo just takes over the spot. It is a 250 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: nice luxury to have that you essentially have felt like 251 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: you've had two starters there all season. Like, it's really 252 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: unfortunate for Marquis, especially because it's two years in a row. 253 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: But in terms of positions where if if you were 254 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: I mean he, they were trading spots anyway, so it's 255 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: hard to say who was the starter. But even if 256 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: you thought of Blair that way, there's pretty very minimal 257 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: fall off if any I mean, Ugo has been playing 258 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: really well. He had the first fumble in this past game. 259 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: So it's a really unfortunate situation. But from a depth perspective, 260 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: it's a It's a good place to be in terms 261 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: of who you have stepping in and if you needed 262 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: another guy. We have seen Ryan Neil play that position. 263 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: We've also seen Ryan Neil come in at dime, so 264 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: it I do think that while you won't recognize every 265 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: name in that secondary or in those dB meetings, I 266 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: do think the Seahawks have some depth there that gives 267 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: them some luxury. I also want to point out a 268 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: blast from the past that got mentioned during Pete Carroll's 269 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: press conference, because I do think that this works hand 270 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: in hand. We talk about tightening stuff up on the 271 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: back end, Well, how about the work that's done in 272 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: the trenches up front? Al Woods gets a comparison to 273 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: big Red Bryant. That's heavy company to be in. And yeah, 274 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't know that Pete Carroll's necessarily trying to say 275 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: he's like emulating exactly who Red Bryant was a player, 276 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: but I think that was speaking more to his role 277 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: right now. But he I mean, he's playing really well. 278 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: He's been good all season and sometimes it's easy to 279 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: not notice those guys, but they've moved him, you know, 280 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of that big end roll a little bit more 281 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: and he's thriving there. Yeah, I was just about to 282 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: say that means to me, first of all, he's playing 283 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: with a lot of energy, but it means that he's 284 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: not just eating up blocks in the middle. Al Woods 285 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: and Red Bryan have a lot more speed than you 286 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: think they do for their size, So moving them outside 287 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: actually allows them to do a couple of more things. 288 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: Because I remember when Red Bryant was in that role 289 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: that was really unusual. That was kind of the first 290 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: time we saw that iteration of that big guy moving 291 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: outside and you wonder how that's gonna work without Red. 292 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: That that defensive line wouldn't have worked. You know who 293 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: else really wondered how that was gonna work? Was Red Bryant. Yeah, 294 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: the stories he tells about after the fact, when Pete 295 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: Carol told him they were going to do that, he 296 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: was like, what the hell are they doing? They thought 297 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: that He thought he was done in Seattle when they 298 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: started doing that, and it basically revived his career and 299 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: he was a huge part of some of the best 300 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: defenses as team has ever had. One of the biggest 301 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: smiles and biggest laughs ever too. Gosh, we love big Red. 302 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: Let's flip this matchup around. We've talked about the Seahawks 303 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: defense and the defensive line for the Seahawks. Let's go 304 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks offensive line and the defensive line for the Jags. Look, 305 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the guy that you've got to watch 306 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: out for. The number seven overall selection in twenty nineteen. 307 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: Doesn't have a lot of sacks, but he can get 308 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: to a quarterback pass pro and just being consistent upfront. John, 309 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: that has to be For as much as they say 310 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: they want to run the ball and do whatever else, 311 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: you got to go back to fundamentals. That offensive line 312 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: has got to start functioning as a single unit. Yeah, 313 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we've just seen too many incidents where it 314 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like they're all on the same page. You know, 315 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: maybe the snap comes out before all the linemen already, 316 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: things like that, and it's just you know, Pete Carroll 317 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: said Ethan Post isn't going to play this week. He 318 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: didn't say who will start, but maybe that'll make a 319 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: difference of Post who's a little more experiences in there 320 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: at that spot. We'll have to wait and see. But 321 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: you're right, it needs to be better upfront for this 322 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: offense to Gino spent the function as well as they can. Yeah. 323 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: And while sometimes it goes unnoticed during games because you're 324 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: focused on the skill players, it has not gone on 325 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: notice with the coaches or with Pete, it's happening up front. Well, 326 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: we have to be more consistently on it all with 327 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: our calls, our and the stuff we can, we can 328 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: get better there. And uh so that's in that sense, Um, 329 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: the competition is still open, you know, And and it's 330 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: important that we get a chance to see how you know, 331 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: how Ethan does and how Kyle does in response and 332 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: all that. Um, it's a very important position. For Shane's background, 333 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's been a really important position for that 334 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: guy to really command what's going on and assist the 335 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: quarterback and in all ways, and so we're still working 336 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: at it well. And I think the Seahawks in general, 337 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned assist the quarterback. It's different if 338 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Gino's quarterbacking versus for us, right, Russ has a different 339 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: grasp of the system than Gino does. So we'll see 340 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: how they end up mixing and matching. But overall, yeah, 341 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: communication and consistency has to get better up front, because 342 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: you could see there was a few times where I 343 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: think there could have been lanes on Monday night and 344 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: they just we're not in step with some of those 345 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: blocks that they were trying to get. Yeah, and we've 346 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: seen we've seen all those guys play well together. This 347 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: is not a talent issue. I don't think. I don't 348 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: We've seen We've seen just about everybody on that line 349 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: play really well at times. It just it hasn't quite 350 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: looked clean enough. That's the point. Pete Carroll's Megan just 351 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: about the consistency well, And I think the other thing 352 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: that helps is Damian Lewis at this point looks like 353 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: he is going to be playing on Sunday. Hard to 354 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: believe that a second year player could make that much 355 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: of a difference, but I do think that line looks 356 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: different when he is in there, So you put him 357 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: back in there at left guard. Jamarco then can kick 358 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: out Brandon Shell. Still is not known whether he is 359 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: going to be able to play on the right side, 360 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: so getting one of your starters back could help on 361 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: that one. How would you evaluate what Gino has been 362 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: able to do the last couple of weeks. You know, 363 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: I'd say for the most part, it's what you know, 364 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: what's reasonable to expect as from a backup. I was 365 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: really encouraged, obviously with the start or the his relief 366 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: duty against the Rams. He looked really good, and I 367 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: thought he's pretty solid against Pittsburgh. You know, last game 368 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: wasn't as clean. There are a lot of sacks, and 369 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: I think some of those you could put on him, 370 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: some of them weren't. But he's got to get rid 371 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: of the ball a few of those situations. I mean, 372 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: obviously the two late game turnovers were tough. One of 373 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: those was just bad luck with how I Wuckta getting 374 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: tripped up. But you know. I look, it hasn't been perfect, 375 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he would be the first tell you 376 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: he wants to be better and help this team win 377 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: these games. But I also don't think you can expect 378 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback to come in and just carry the 379 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: offense by himself. Well no, but I do think it 380 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: would be helpful if we could find one area of 381 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: the offense that was functioning efficiently right because the deep 382 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: shot to DK that was great, but you couldn't replicate 383 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 1: that part of that really crappy weather on Monday night, 384 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: the wind was all over the place, it was raining 385 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: on and off. I do think that there's an opportunity 386 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: this week against that Jag secondary to perhaps get some 387 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: of those deep plays. But also, if you're going to 388 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: establish the run, and that's what you want everything to 389 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: go off of, gotta run it and you gotta stick 390 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: with it in the first quarter. And I think some 391 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: of that is last week they wanted to get Rashad 392 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Penny going. Alex Collins is just a different type of runner, 393 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: and part of it is the way he moves his feet, 394 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: part of it's how he cuts. But I don't know 395 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: where you would like that offense to start John, but 396 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: you've got to get something that he can do consistently 397 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: and efficiently well. And also, to me, if you're gonna 398 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: be committed to the run, you need to have a 399 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: little more success there because you can't ask a backup 400 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: quarterback to be operating at a third and eight plus 401 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: all the time, which he had too me those where 402 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he took some sax av shit or 403 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: didn't make some plays you would have liked him to make, 404 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: but you're also putting him in some tough spots at times. 405 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Do you think we will see a more explosive game 406 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: from DK or Tyler, or let's throw Freddy Swain into 407 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: the mix, or perhaps d esk Rich if he gets 408 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: a chance to come back, that'd be nice. I'd love 409 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: to see him back. Yeah, I think there's opportunity for 410 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: sure to make some more big plays. Some of that 411 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: will just be the weather's going to be a lot better. 412 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: It looks like we're gonna get some dry weather and hopefully, 413 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: I hesitate, I'm gonna knock on wood. Yeah, I hesitate 414 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: to say too much. Yeah, you can never assume anything 415 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: this time of year. But um, but also there's just 416 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: more opportunity against this defense. You know, Shat Griffin's playing 417 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: really well for them, but the rest of that secondary 418 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: is pretty young in experience. They've given up a lot 419 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: of big plays this year, so I do think you know, 420 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: they're still gonna sex are still gonna want to be 421 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: balanced around the ball, but I think there's gonna be 422 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: more opportunities to hit some of those bigger plays. Okay, well, 423 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: then let's see how this translates into the two things 424 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: that we need to do. I know, I knew where 425 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: you were going. It's like I could read your mind 426 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: on this one because I think I just teach you 427 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: up for one of the things that you want to 428 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: see what you get. I'm not even going to get 429 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: specifics of the types of plays I want to see. 430 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: What I want is just get the ball to Tyer 431 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: Locke and DK metcalf more often it was. You know, 432 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: there's always reasons why guys aren't getting targeted, but when 433 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: you see DK have an eighty four year touchdown and 434 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: then not have the ball thrown his way till the 435 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, that's that's a little frustrating. And look, if 436 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: a team's finding ways to get keep him or keep 437 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: the ball away from gets Tyler Lockett. So I want 438 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: to see let's say seventeen targets between the two of them, 439 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: so you know, it doesn't have to be huge numbers, 440 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: but just get them the ball a little bit more. 441 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: And then the other side of the ball we talked 442 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: about Robinson, just slow him down a little bit, play 443 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: good round defense like they did last week. Let's keep 444 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: him under let's say seventy yards. I think I think 445 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: you'll make it tough on that offense if they can't 446 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: run it. Okay, I am gonna go with this. Get 447 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: to Trevor Lawrence. He has only been sacked ten times 448 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: this year. Look, there's got to be an opportunity to 449 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: get some pressure, and I guess if it's not. If 450 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not sacks, then let's get some hurries and some 451 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: hits on him, because that is far too few. They 452 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: are also down at least one starter on the offensive. 453 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: Lying you've got to get to Trevor Lawrence. I do 454 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: not want to see the rookie comfortable back there. And 455 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: then turnover differential is a big one for Seattle. Dare 456 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: plus three Jackson Villa's minus ten, So let's keep that 457 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: trend going. Now we have now seen some takeaways start 458 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: to come. They come in bunches, so let's get at 459 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: least one takeaway and hit the quarterback at least. I'd 460 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: like to see three sacks, but I realized that that 461 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: could be a stretch. But that's what we're going with. 462 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: I think three is good. Okay, John says it, and 463 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: so it will be. That will do it for this 464 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: week's edition of the Seahawks Insiders podcast, We'll see you 465 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: next week. M. M.
