Speaker 1: You start to dive into the Seahawks, how much similarities
Speaker 1: are There are a lot of similarities from what you
Speaker 1: faced last year with the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd say so the scheme is pretty similar, and
Speaker 2: and how they call the plays and stuff looks similar. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the personnel and everything is different, and so we just
Speaker 2: got to know, you know, obviously which guys look out
Speaker 2: for in certain situations. But yeah, the scheme is very
Speaker 2: similar on that game.
Speaker 1: Against the Ravens, know the way you wanted it to.
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you just look back.
Speaker 2: On that game? Yeah, I mean, I mean we've watched
Speaker 2: it a bunch, just in terms of like what we're
Speaker 2: trying to do, what their scheme was against our offense
Speaker 2: and our scheme, and so watching it obviously watching how
Speaker 2: the game went and the decisions that I made and stuff,
Speaker 2: and obviously like learning from it. But uh, more than anything,
Speaker 2: just when I do get in those situations again, like handling,
Speaker 2: handling everything in the right way in terms of get
Speaker 2: to my answer and you know, taking what the defense
Speaker 2: gives me and and those kinds of things. So it's
Speaker 2: it's been really good watching. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: like I said, we're playing a whole new personnel and
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and and so it should be a little
Speaker 2: bit different in that regard just playing different players. But
Speaker 2: when it comes to the scheme versus scheme, it was
Speaker 2: good to watch the game last year against Baltimore and
Speaker 2: uh so it was good.
Speaker 3: On the last interception against the Cardinals, looks like you
Speaker 3: were waiting for Auk an out route and then kid underneath.
Speaker 3: I So you as you're walking out the look at
Speaker 3: the video board. Can you do you in that moment
Speaker 3: see it it? Can you look like obviously work thrilled
Speaker 3: and kind of grimaced when you move to the video board,
Speaker 3: Do you see like a crap?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, uh I got hit And so I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, where how did that happen? With you know,
Speaker 2: our protection that we had on and stuff, And we
Speaker 2: had two guys come to the side of where our
Speaker 2: protection was set and one guy was free. And so
Speaker 2: that's all me in terms of getting the ball out
Speaker 2: and not holding on to it. So in that situation
Speaker 2: when I was walking off looking at the video board,
Speaker 2: I was like, man, that I miss a guy or
Speaker 2: that I just try to get to Ayuk the whole
Speaker 2: time and not see what was going on with the
Speaker 2: bullets and stuff. So in that moment, that's what I
Speaker 2: was thinking about and wish I would have executed it differently.
Speaker 4: The stats suggest that you're holding onto the ball longer
Speaker 4: than any other quarterback, and obviously you're scrambled or you know,
Speaker 4: producing that number, But does it feel different than twenty
Speaker 4: two or twenty three as far as you know, just
Speaker 4: snap to release time for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like there's just been some plays
Speaker 2: where I'm scrambling and stuff just because like what the
Speaker 2: defense is doing in terms of dropping eight and giving
Speaker 2: us some different looks in that regard. So for me,
Speaker 2: it's more been about keeping a play alive and and
Speaker 2: uh it's been good. And there's also been some plays
Speaker 2: obviously where you know, we've had you know, minus ten
Speaker 2: or whatever from trying to scramble around and stuff. So uh,
Speaker 2: there's I think those kinds of players that pop up,
Speaker 2: so that maybe how that's affected the stats with that.
Speaker 2: But for me, I still go about my progressions and
Speaker 2: everything just like I have the last couple of years
Speaker 2: with our offense and our system. You know, I'm not
Speaker 2: going into a game going all right, I'm gonna hold
Speaker 2: on the ball longer here and try to make something happen.
Speaker 2: It's how can I how can I be efficient, help
Speaker 2: out the O line, get the ball out of my
Speaker 2: hands and do my job. So but the teams that
Speaker 2: we play, the schemes that we've played, I guess they've
Speaker 2: done some of that where they're dropping more back in
Speaker 2: the zone and making me go through my progression and
Speaker 2: turns out I'm holding on the ball.
Speaker 5: So that's that Brocket, is your play action is down
Speaker 5: this year from what's been in the past. Is that
Speaker 5: a function of that when teams are dropping more you
Speaker 5: don't want to turn your back as you need that
Speaker 5: extra time to go through progressions or what are you
Speaker 5: kind of attribute?
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the case. I would say,
Speaker 2: you know, you've got to be running the ball really,
Speaker 2: really well and then setting up certain plays and stuff.
Speaker 2: And where we're at, I think we're running the ball
Speaker 2: really well, but I think within schemes and trying to
Speaker 2: win with certain plays drawn up for us, it's just
Speaker 2: been drop back plays and we trusting the guys to
Speaker 2: just be able to drop back and allow me to
Speaker 2: go through a progression and rip it to them. So
Speaker 2: you know, we're not going into a game saying they're
Speaker 2: going to drop back a lot, So we're not we're
Speaker 2: gonna stay away from the play Action pass. We still
Speaker 2: have plays dialed up in the play Action world, but
Speaker 2: we just haven't had opportunities to run them in the
Speaker 2: right situations or whatnot. But again, we're trusting Kyle within
Speaker 2: all the play calls with that regard and and so
Speaker 2: that's just sort of just how the flow of the
Speaker 2: game has gone and the play calls have gone.
Speaker 5: So sure, last year you guys were the number one
Speaker 5: team in the league and red zone touchdown percentage. This
Speaker 5: year it's been more of a struggle. What does the
Speaker 5: film show?
Speaker 3: How would you evaluate what you guys have done in.
Speaker 1: The red zone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we've had some opportunities, and I think
Speaker 2: that's an area for me to be better for sure.
Speaker 2: Trust the plays, trust the concepts, trust my guys, and
Speaker 2: and being willing to go down there and rip it.
Speaker 2: I mean, like I said when I talk to you
Speaker 2: guys last time after the game, you know, the window
Speaker 2: get tighter and the timing of it is is quicker
Speaker 2: and faster. So for me, it's about getting back into
Speaker 2: a rhythm down there and give my guys a chance.
Speaker 2: So that's probably the biggest thing that I've seen on film.
Speaker 5: Both said that you need to get back to complimentary football.
Speaker 6: What does that mean to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's a it's a team sport. So for
Speaker 2: four quarters. You know, when the defense, when the defense
Speaker 2: gets to stop. For us as an offense, it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, let's pick it up and and go put
Speaker 2: points on the board, and and vice versa. When we're rolling,
Speaker 2: defense get to stop, special teams do their thing. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's complimentary football. That's how you win in this league.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, if defense is getting all these
Speaker 2: stops and the offense is cold, I mean, I mean
Speaker 2: that's pretty obvious to everybody that it's gonna be tough
Speaker 2: to get into a rhythm and pull away from a
Speaker 2: team and then you allow a team to stay in
Speaker 2: the game and and those kinds of things. But the
Speaker 2: last couple of years, when we've won pretty well, it's
Speaker 2: been about complimentary football. Defense gets stops and turnovers, offense
Speaker 2: puts up points on the board, and we pull away.
Speaker 2: So we both believe in that, and everyone here knows
Speaker 2: that's the truth.
Speaker 4: You can this type of game Galvani based on a
Speaker 4: little bit of a slow start and knowing what that
Speaker 4: it looks like with a couple of part home games
Speaker 4: after this as well.
Speaker 2: In this kind of game, rally guy, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I think every game for us is extremely important. Obviously,
Speaker 2: you get through the end of the season, it's like
Speaker 2: where you're at wins and losses and all kind of
Speaker 2: stuff going to the playoffs. So I mean everything matters.
Speaker 2: But for us man, all that matters right now is
Speaker 2: Seattle Thursday night. Uh, getting back into the win column
Speaker 2: and and uh, you know, just picking up our momentum.
Speaker 2: Man that I think the season is so much about
Speaker 2: momentum and and uh obviously staying healthy and getting ready
Speaker 2: for the next game. But for us man, it's one
Speaker 2: game at a time. We're not looking too far ahead
Speaker 2: in the future. And uh, whoever we get up on
Speaker 2: our schedule for the for the next game, that's who
Speaker 2: we got. But we're not looking too far into it
Speaker 2: and we just gotta win.
Speaker 3: Scrambling and extending plays is larger then this season, sweet,
Speaker 3: But when you do have the one, you know where
Speaker 3: you're around for ten seconds and get sacked, is it
Speaker 3: a reminder of like, oh gosh, maybe I can take
Speaker 3: this go too far with this, or is it just like, Okay,
Speaker 3: if I do this, you know, twelve times I can
Speaker 3: get sacked. Months that's just the way it goes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it depends on the situation
Speaker 2: that we're in, within the game and being smart with
Speaker 2: the ball, putting my team in my offense and in
Speaker 2: the best situation possible. If I can make something happen
Speaker 2: with my legs and and move the chains or get
Speaker 2: a positive gain, great, let's go. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: knowing that you know that's not gonna be the case
Speaker 2: every time I'm scrambling around like it's backyard football, I
Speaker 2: gotta be smart, make a couple of guys miss, maybe
Speaker 2: throw the ball away, being willing to play with third
Speaker 2: manageable rather than you know, trying to make up for
Speaker 2: it after a ten yard loss with a crazy scramble.
Speaker 2: So it definitely depends on the situation. But also knowing
Speaker 2: that I have confident and some belief in my legs
Speaker 2: as well to make some plays in the right scenario.
Speaker 2: So find balance your confidence level.
Speaker 6: Though you've gone in there twice once, but of them
Speaker 6: last year on Thanksgiving night, that you're able to go
Speaker 6: in that environment and come out with a win. How
Speaker 6: does that help you comfort and confidence wise about Obviously
Speaker 6: it's not the major emphasis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, for us, it's sort of
Speaker 2: just a good reminder of you're going into a hostile
Speaker 2: environment where they're going to be on you every time
Speaker 2: we step out onto the field. Got a great defense,
Speaker 2: great players that we're going against in a great team,
Speaker 2: and so every chance and opportunity you get, man, you
Speaker 2: got to be on top of it. And if you
Speaker 2: can and execute and play team football, some good things
Speaker 2: can come from it. And it feels good when you're
Speaker 2: able to walk out knowing that you guys did your
Speaker 2: job really well. And so obviously we've learned that as
Speaker 2: a team the last couple of years, but this is
Speaker 2: a new year. It's a new team for both sides,
Speaker 2: and and uh, you know, it's got to go in
Speaker 2: and execute and be dialed in every moment. So that's
Speaker 2: r
