1 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,159 Speaker 1: Hey, bring it up, Bring it up. Just another night 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: we get to enjoy with each other. You enjoy competing 3 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: against each other. That stive had the most tackles, we 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: had the most turnovers tonight, it still had the most 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: fun to night. This still had a more swag to night. 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: That's gonna have fun together. Faver family, familie. What's the 7 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: welcome to Seahawk Saturday night? Aaron leaving alongside the head coach, 8 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll coach, it felt like you're playing Carolina every 9 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: single year at least once, if not twice. Last year 10 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: you got the year off. So how are the Panthers 11 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: changed since the last time you saw him. Well, they 12 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: haven't changed that much, you know, because the central figures 13 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: are still there. Cam's a big part of it. They 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: have added, you know, Ristian McAffrey, who's a great addition 15 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: to their offense. Those linebackers are still playing. They're still 16 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: big upfront on defense. Scheme is the same. It seems 17 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: like we're playing the same teams and they're you know, 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: they're very, very difficult. You mentioned Christian McCaffrey. Can you 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: ever remember a running back playing more than ninety six 20 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: percent in their offensives gurly tries. But this is about 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: as much as you could ever expect to get to 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: play well. Speaking of running backs, you held Aaron Jones 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: and the Green Bay Packers to just forty eight rushing yards. 24 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: What was the difference for this defense a couple of 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Well, we just we played really consistent early. 26 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: They were really determined to throw the football and it 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: just worked out well. We kept them with five Sacksy 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: had some negative situations for them, so they really didn't 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: get kind of focused it on the running game in 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: the So we were fortunate. Though before you got to Seattle, 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: there were so much made about West Coast teams traveling 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: east with an early start ten am start. The Seahawks 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: are now ten and six in the last sixteen games 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: played at ten am a kickoff Pacific time. So what 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: do you attribute that success. I'd be a rule number 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: two violation if we're complaining about it, you know. So 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: taking a really good attitude about it and taking the 38 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: challenge the two day trips that we take, I think 39 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: is a big deal for us. I think our mentality though, 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: in the attitude about it is really the strongest you 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: can give into that You can start to look at 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: all the ways that you you know that you're playing 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: behind it and you get the clock and all the 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: other things that you deal with. Our guys don't think 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: that way, and they haven't. They've been real strong about it. 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: It's given us a chance to play well. We talked 47 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: about it almost every single week, but it's now been 48 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: seven consecutive weeks. Your running game has been on fire 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty rushing yards per games, 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: or seven straight games. It's a franchise record. How refreshing 51 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: has it been to have an effective and really deep 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: core of running backs on this team? Well, yeah, that's 53 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Has been really been great, you know, 54 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about it so much. It's nice 55 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: for stuff coming together when you know, when you make 56 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: a big, big statement about it. But it's been a 57 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: combination of a number of things. The coaching, the commitment, 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the health of the running backs, and just the play 59 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: of the running backs. The wonderful player we've been getting 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: in the attitude that the guys up front have brought. 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Not just to mention just the guys the interior five. 62 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: George Fan has been a big part of that, playing 63 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: tight end and moving around for us whose series have 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: been a big factor and Trade Madden, all of the 65 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: guys that contribute to it. But it goes back to it, 66 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: it's taken a number of elements to come together with 67 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: really the clear commitment is really what I think mixing 68 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: thing happened. George Fan become a good route runner too. 69 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he can get open. Speaking of guys that 70 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: line up on the line of scrimmage often, Ed Dixon, 71 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: he's had two touchdowns in your first three games, or 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: his first three games as a Seahawk. He faces his 73 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: former team this week. What have you seen from him? Well, 74 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: he's been a great addition. We wish we would have 75 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: had him earlier. You know, we had to wait a 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: long time for him to get him involved. So he's 77 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: still growing with the offense. I think he's going to 78 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: continue to show that he has a big part in it. 79 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: He's very, very good at the line of scrimmage. He's 80 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: a good getting down field. He's made his plays. He's 81 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: come through, so we're really excited about him. We just 82 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: have to get him, continue to get him more involved 83 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: and he'll be a big factor. I know every game 84 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: is a championship game. Every game is essentially worth the same. 85 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: Have you been able to take a look big picture 86 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: if you're able to get through this game, go six 87 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: and five with four or five games left at home 88 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: and also having a tiebreaker against the Panthers who are 89 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: clearly in the playoff chase. Also, well, I don't know 90 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: when I'm not looking at that much detail. It's really 91 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: we're in playoff mode, though. We have to win every 92 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: week and we've got to give everything we have and 93 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: every one of these games, as we say, as a 94 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: championship game. This is why we've been talking that way 95 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: because it eventually gets down to that point. And now 96 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: we're here. So we've been preparing to focus the way 97 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: we are, to give all the effort that it takes, 98 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: the attention in the details. So we'll see what happens. 99 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: It's it's going to be a great challenge for us. 100 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: This is an enormous opportunity right now, and this team 101 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: is playing good football. They're playing particularly well at home. 102 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: It's going to be a big, difficult opportunity. But we'll 103 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: go get this one and then we'll crank it back 104 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: up and get another championship preparation in order for the 105 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: next one. What a question this week comes from at 106 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: Metropolis in June. One interesting name aside from special teams. 107 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: How is Shaken Griffin progressing this eason? Well, he is 108 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: making progress. He can't help it. He was such a 109 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: neo fight you know, it's a linebacker spot in particularly 110 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: playing behind the line of scrimmage. So he learns. Every 111 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: week he gets a ton of work. Kenny does a 112 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: great job of rotating men making sure he's getting, you know, 113 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: his chances to learn, and we go after him summon practices. 114 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: He's so comfortable. He's such a good competitor. He's studying 115 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: and working his tail up. But it won't really he 116 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: won't make the great progress until he's playing in a 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: regularly so. But he's ready in these pois for that 118 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: opportunity when it comes. Just one more example of a 119 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: great working classes here. It's a good class and I'm 120 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: really excited about it. We couldn't help it. Notice last week, 121 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: you know all of the contribution from the young guys, 122 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: particularly the past Russian also it's uh, we're very happy 123 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: with these guys. Look for in saying it tomorrow. Thanks 124 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: thanks all right, here we go, Happy Thanksgiving Frank Clark 125 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: was all over the field and the win over the Packers. 126 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: Up next on Seahawks Saturday Night. We've got Clark, Mike 127 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: DoD we need to give some rush man serious bro, 128 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose his game. Oh. I can't wait to 129 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: go back out there at though,
