1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: What happened last week. In this game against the Atlanta Falcons,

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: the Hawks lose twenty seven to twenty three with there

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: are reasons to be I guess excited about the offense

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: and we got to fix what's going on with the defense.

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: You look at the offense and they won six quarters

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: between a couple of games or a game without scoring

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: an offensive touchdown. And it was encouraging to see this

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: offense get going early, you get the tight ends involved.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: They made an emphasis to get that run game going

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: early where Shot Penny gets the football. Geno Smith continues

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: to look like a solid NFL quarterback Paul more Now.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: The negative is the Falcons ran all over US one

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine yards. Patterson had one forty on

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: his own. He had a big run of seventeen yard touchdown.

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: It was a back and forward type of game. I

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: think a game that you and I kind of predicted.

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't think we thought it would be that high

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: of a scoring game, though, Yeah right now, I don't

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: know if we weren't sure going into the third game,

20
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: because to me, it's like, okay, this is really the

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: third preseason game. Ye know, these guys as starters are

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: just starting to get their feet wet. I thought we

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: played well. We certainly played well enough to win the game.

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: It was a great first half offensively, I mean we

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: put up twenty points on the board. Geno Smith again

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: has been very efficient along the way. You know, I

27
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: think we all would like to see them push the

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more downfield of the wide receivers

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: because if you look at statistically where they are right now,

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: DK metcalf is average in per catch eight point four yards.

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Tyler's at ten yards per catch. You know, we're used

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: to those guys in the teams and in some of

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: the like DK, you're looking at often sixteen to eighteen

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: yards per catch. So so we got to get some

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: more explosive plays. But again offensively, they played well enough

36
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: to win. You know the negative which is three points

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: in the second half, none in the fourth quarter. That's

38
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: look in this league, you gotta win the final two

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: minutes of the first half, and you certainly got to

40
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: win the last four minutes of the fourth quarter almost

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: in every game. So but you know, again a lot

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of positive offensively, and you know, just your thoughts on

43
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: on our offense right now, I like what the offense

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: is doing. The tight ends were targeted a bunch. Kobe

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Parkinson had a couple of receptions. Uncle Will Dissy as

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: an eighteen yard touchdown. You got no offense with a

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: couple of receptions as well. When I see the tight

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: ends get involved, that means everything else is working. That

49
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: means the run game it's working. Because if you look

50
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: at when these tight ends get the footballs off of

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: play action, boom, they're up to team. We're selling the run.

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: I like that. Tyler Locket and DK combined had twenty

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: three targets. DC specifically was targeted twelve times, only had

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: five receptions. But I like the impasis the same. Okay,

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: we got one of the best receivers in this league.

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: We want to get this man the football, at least

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: attempt to get him the football. Now. He had five

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: receptions on twelve targets, and Gino still completed what seventy

59
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: two percent of his passes. That means he's spreading the

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: football around. We saw ken Walker had one of the

61
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: more exciting runs of the year. That jet sweep, he

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: goes right, he goes laugh, he gets up filled offensively,

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: we saw some things I'll be wanted to see. Defensively,

64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: I think we saw a couple of things too. We

65
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: have three sacks. Yeah, Dzy had a sag. Quinn Jefferson

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: who will talk to you later how to say, Kobe

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: Bryant had a sack, and then Terik Woolen has an interception.

68
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: So we've checked a couple of boxes defensively, we just

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't really do a good job stopping the explosive place. Yeah,

70
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: and that's been kind of a the Achilles Heal this

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: this whole season. I mean we've a mistackle, you know,

72
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: going back a week ago with you know, we got

73
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: a chance to get him in the backfield talking about

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: Samuel with San Francisco and goes for fifty one yards. Um,

75
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: so I thought we got a little bit better there.

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Right now, we've gone from a four to three defense

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to a three four defense. Very different in the running game,

78
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: a lot of two gapping. You have multiple responsibilities in

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the run game between your front seven and often the

80
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: safety dropping down as well. Um, right now, I just

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: want us to go play football. There was that one.

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: Well it means that um oh, I'm I'm I'm reading

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: my keys. We would call an assignment or alignment assignment

84
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: and then at that point, you know, you react right

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: right now, we're just reacting slow that. They had that

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: one long running play where it was I'm pick on

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Kobe or um, yeah, Kobe Barton right now, excuse me

88
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: messing up my names there. Already he got a false read. Also,

89
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: they had an eye formation. They had flow to our

90
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: left and then the fullback veered back to our right.

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: So he saw that and he saw the guard tried

92
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: to cut him off, so he immediately attacked the guard,

93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: except the running back was running into that gap. And

94
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm That's what I mean. Just sometimes you just got

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: to play football. You get your alignment right, you got

96
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: your assignment right, and now you got to react to

97
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: what you see. And so part of that is just

98
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: they're all trying to do the things so right, but

99
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: when the football is right in front of you, forget

100
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: your read, go get the football. Yeah, exactly. So there's

101
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: little things like that. Go and look at what we're

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: doing right now. For the most part, we've got two

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: new linebackers on the outside. We really have two new

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: linebackers on the inside, new positions, new defense, three four.

105
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: We got two new corners sitting outside. Um, for them

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: most part. The front is different because of the positions

107
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: they're playing as well. It's just gonna take some time

108
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: for us to play great defense. The efforts there, there's

109
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: some good plays, it's just the six seven plays where

110
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: you go just play football, and again, I think sometimes

111
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: you just gotta shut your brain off a little bit,

112
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it just takes a little bit of time.

113
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: We're playing well enough to win. We should have won

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: last week. To me and I went back to the

115
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco game. I know the scored got a little

116
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: bit out of hand, but again it came down to

117
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: really five or six plays. A lot of people don't

118
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: believe it, but it came down to five or six

119
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: plays in that game. And we know what we did

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: against Denver. So that's the team we are right now.

121
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be some ups and downs. The thing

122
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: that gets me about this team right now is that

123
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: we expected this defense to be the guys ahead of

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: the curve kind of holding it down. But what we

125
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: forgot to I think we recognize, if it didn't really

126
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: take into account enough, is that you got a new

127
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator with a new scheme. You have a couple

128
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: of outside linebackers you mentioned are pretty new. You got

129
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: D two who's playing a different position. Not that Leo.

130
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: He's an edge rusher. Now you gotta chin over there.

131
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: You lose Jamal Adams. I think Jamal Adams was going

132
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: to be key to doing what this defense wants to do.

133
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: And then we looked at the offense and said, oh,

134
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: they got Gino, so this defense is gonna have to

135
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: carry him. But what we forgot about this offense is

136
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: that you got Rashad Penny, who's a veteran who's been

137
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: here for a while. You got DK You gotta locket.

138
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: These guys have been here, uncle will Disley. No offense

139
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: has been in the league for a while. And we'll

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: see what happened with Kobe Parkinson. You can look at

141
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: the tackles and say, all right, we got young tackles.

142
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Will they be able to hold up? But I think

143
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: the play of Gino has elevated this offense. And if

144
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: you would have told me, Paul Murray that Gino will

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: be leading the league in completion percentage, that he would

146
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: only have turned the ball over a couple of times

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: at this point, I would say that this team would

148
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: be what are they one and two right now two

149
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: and one, you flip that. But we're seeing struggles on

150
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the other side of the football. But when you look

151
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: at the struggles on defense, do you think that's something

152
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: that's permanent? You think it's gonna be fixed. What do

153
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: these coaches have to do to get these guys to

154
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: perform at the level that we were expecting initially starting

155
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: starting the season, to start the season. Yeah, you know,

156
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: I've I've mentioned this before, but there's potential, which we

157
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: think the potentials there. I mean, we're we've got gifted

158
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: athletes on defense, they just now got turned into good

159
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: football players on a consistent basis. And then there's the

160
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: X and os. So we bring a new coach and

161
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: staff and I love everything that they're teaching everything, and

162
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I love the players that we have athletically, and look,

163
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some growing pains too that now you

164
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: try to marry marry that all together and you go, Okay,

165
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. And man, this is the NFL. It

166
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: is really hard lead. They get paid to make plays.

167
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: They're out they're scheming you and game planning for you

168
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: as well. So it's it's a week to week deal.

169
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: So I look, our best football is gonna be I

170
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: always say break it up in quarters, let's finish two

171
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: and two for the first quarter, even though it's seventeen

172
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: games now, so I can't say quarters a quarter ish,

173
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: I guess, and then let's get better the next quarter,

174
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: and let's get other than next quarter. And I think

175
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: again by the end of the year. You know, maybe

176
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: we're pushing for a playoff hunt right now. Schedule is tough,

177
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: the league's tough. M We got a lot of new players,

178
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: and obviously we've already lost a key player in Jamal Adams.

179
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: We got a couple of guys that still haven't come

180
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: back from injuries, and I'm talking about like Trey Brown

181
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: and stuff. But I think the talents there, I think

182
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: the scheme's right. I think he's got to go out

183
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: and play and make plays. It's thought about making the corrections.

184
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: You got three weeks of film to break down to

185
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: evaluate guys. You've been a coach in this league before

186
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: three weeks into the season. Is that enough to where

187
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: you feel like you can put guys in better position

188
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: that you you could have put him in week one

189
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: in week two? Three weeks should be enough film correct yeah.

190
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean you start to learn more about your players.

191
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we know with Noe Sue what we've got

192
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: so far. I mean, he's a really good football player.

193
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I knew he's a good player when he was with

194
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers. He's better than I thought he was going

195
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: to be. You know, I think, look, there's some guys

196
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: right now they've got to step up, some guys that

197
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: we're really counting on. And uh, you know, I think

198
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Darryl Taylor's is a big one. Um, but there's other

199
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: guys there that you know are gonna have to step up.

200
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: And mostly it's in the running game, set in the edge,

201
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: and you hear this all the time. Just do your job.

202
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: And there's times where you're you're so gifted as an

203
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: athlete that you think you can do more than your job.

204
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: You know, if I got out and said, yeah, I

205
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: can beat this guy inside and still make the play,

206
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: just do your job. Man. You got other guys who

207
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: are gifted athletes too. And again, I just think it's

208
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: gonna take time. I just want to see improvement every week,

209
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: and I and I believe we have. UM. I was

210
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: disappointed just the way we didn't finish last week. UM,

211
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: we should have won that game. I think we are

212
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: better in Atlanta. Look, we got Detroit coming into town. No,

213
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: they've got some guy now. They're really banged up, and

214
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: that's the one thing. If they're completely healthy, this would

215
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: be a tough game. They should be two and one.

216
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: They should have won last week at Minnesota. UM they

217
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: blew that lead there at the end and they had

218
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: a chance. So every game is gonna be tough for

219
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I just want to see improve and every week,

220
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: and if we do, I think the winds will come.

221
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: Progress with port Car. When I was in middle school,

222
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: I got progress report cards more they depends on when

223
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: the progress of port Car was released. Okay, but for

224
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: these Hawks, I think that they are moving in the

225
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: right direction. So we're going to put the Atlanta Falcons

226
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to bed and we will return. Well, we'll give you

227
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: the preview of the Detroit Lions. That is right here

228
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: next on Hawks lot. It's a good situation we got.

229
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: If you aren't here, you guys get here. And if

230
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: you aren't here, which by the way, we ate earlier

231
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: at the Cactus, My goodness, that's a great place. It

232
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: was good. Service was good, the ambiance yea. The lighting

233
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: was nice. It was good. And by the way, if

234
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: you're not here, get down here because we have riffles.

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: We're giving away some pretty good stuff, yea, as well,

236
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: gift cards all around. Make sure you guys get in,

237
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: all right. So now we are going to preview the

238
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. And let me tell you, folks, this is

239
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: not the Lions that you think of. I'm seeing people

240
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: in their twenties, thirties, forties. This is not the lines

241
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: of old to where you just show up and you're

242
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna beat these guys. You look at the record, you're like, Okay,

243
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: they're one and two, same old Lions, right, pal Moyer,

244
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: No they are not. You look at them offensively. They

245
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: are ranked third offensively averaging four hundred and nine points

246
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: rush offense. They are third averaging one hundred and seventy yards.

247
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: And you look at the points they put up there

248
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: a second in the NFL, averaging thirty one points per game.

249
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: All right, this is not the same Lions. And if

250
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: you if you watch HBO Hard Knocks, you like it.

251
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: I love the culture over there in Detroit. I mean

252
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: coach Campbell. He made me want to put on a

253
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: helmet right now and play some football, palmyre. There's only

254
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: been one hard knocks where I looked at the team,

255
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: and maybe two, but it was two. It's the first

256
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: time the Rams were on it and they had Jeff

257
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Fisher as a coach nin one. Oh man, this this

258
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: organization's in disarray. And in the Cleveland Browns, I want,

259
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: oh man, they got no chance. Man. The Bengals too.

260
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean the Bengals one of the first ones where

261
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: I was. But Detroit Dolphins. Yeah, I mean Detroit. Uh.

262
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: But Detroit to me s impressive. Yeah. I think their

263
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: coach is impressive. I mean he would. He's a motivator.

264
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: They look, when you're that bad that long, you got

265
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. And on top of that, you

266
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: look they traded away you know, Stafford, they got goff

267
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: who look, Goffs looked good so far. But here's their talent.

268
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: And I mean, we'll see if DeAndre Swift plays. But

269
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: he is a gifted quick running back. Um he's averaging

270
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: eight point six yards per carry and he's got two

271
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards after three games. He's questionable

272
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: for this game. They actually have eight offensive players that

273
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: are questionable. The other tough, tough kid is Saint Brown,

274
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: the wide receiver usc Ki another US. Not a guy

275
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: that he's gonna, you know, crush you with speed. I

276
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: mean he's not a four two guy. He's not six

277
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: foot four. He's not a DK met guy. He's probably

278
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: five eleven six foot I think they got him listed

279
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: at six foot around two, Yeah for sure. Um, but

280
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: you know they do some fly sweeps with him. He

281
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: had a big run against Washington early on where they

282
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: had about two hundred yards rush and in that game

283
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: check game of the year. Um. He's a possession guy,

284
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: crossing routes very productive though when you look at him

285
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: right now, I mean he's had thirty three targets. I

286
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: mean that's more than than DK or Tyler so far.

287
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Twenty three receptions, two hundred and fifty three yards, averaging

288
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: eleven yards per catch, which which is fine, but three tds.

289
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: He's he's really there. Uh, golf is comfortable with. So

290
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: they've got really good young talent. But they're really beat

291
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: up and so hopefully a couple of them aren't playing

292
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, they're beat up, and what's messed up

293
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: is that I'm not surprised that they're beat up because

294
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell over. He goes, look, guys, hey, we're gonna hit.

295
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna take guys to the ground. We're gonna go

296
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: go full contact, and he goes, trust me, guys, just

297
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: trust me. So if you trust him, oh, I trust him.

298
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: I would have done it. I would have would have

299
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: gone full speed and not asked any questions. But maybe

300
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate. But the people who watch hard Knocks

301
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: are gonna look at the injury report and to say, see,

302
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: I told you so. But we talked about how explosive

303
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: this often is, right, and all the numbers that they

304
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: put up one of the best offenses in the league.

305
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Let's flip and talk about this defense. Total defense, they

306
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: are ranked twenty eight. Like, okay, we're gonna put up

307
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: four hundred and nine yards. We're gonna give up four

308
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: hundred and eight, all right, We're gonna rush for one

309
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: seventy We're gonna give up one forty two. That's twenty

310
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: seventh in the league. All right, we're gonna put up

311
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: thirty one points, that second best in the league. We're

312
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna give up thirty one points that is last in

313
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: the league. So when I look at the numbers, right,

314
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: and numbers don't tell the whole story. They don't tell

315
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: you that guys are injured. They don't tell you that

316
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: Jared Goff is playing pretty good football, even though you

317
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: look at this passing percentage and you say, what's going

318
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: on there? And then with the Seahawks, you look at

319
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: our numbers of offensively, we're ranked twenty eighth in the

320
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: league two undred ninety six points. Excuse me, yards per

321
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: game when it comes to rushing the ball, twenty nine

322
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: seventy four yards per game. But we've watched this team

323
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: play and we say, all right, offensively, they're growing, they're

324
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: getting better. They might not be rushing the ball the

325
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: way that we want them to rush the ball, but

326
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: we see the potential there. I think you talked about

327
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Rashant pinning him finishing runs and looking like he's getting downhill. Well,

328
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: I like our running game right now. I just wish

329
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: we'd run it more. And if you look at our

330
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: running backs right now, I mean, Penny's averaging at four

331
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: point eight yards or six yards per carry. As a group,

332
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: we're at four, but that's because Geno is averaging one

333
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry. He's got ten rushes for

334
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: fifteen yards have pulled the the overall average out but

335
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: if you look at each running back, they're all averaging

336
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: over four yards per carry. Yet I think we're third

337
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: to last in total yards rushing per game. That just

338
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: means we're not rushing it enough, you know. I mean,

339
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: we got to give more carries to them. I think

340
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: Penny is ready to go off, right, I mean a

341
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: big game, and I think our tackles have really settled

342
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: into what the NFL is all about. I think our

343
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: offensive line is much improved over last year. I mean

344
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: we're giving up We're giving up six sacks so far.

345
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, Denver has given up nine. I'm just saying.

346
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, maybe maybe it's not the offensive line.

347
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of good things there. We've had

348
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: two games where our first half were awesome, you know,

349
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: against Denver and last week against Atlanta. We just gotta

350
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: finish the second half now, and certainly the defense has

351
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: got to get better on third down and we got

352
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: to stop the run. And it's gonna take a little bit.

353
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: So this team, I look at Detroit, They're good. They're good.

354
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: They're not great, they're good. We're gonna have to play

355
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: well to beat them. I look at their offensive line.

356
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: They're not mawlers, but they're they're really tall. They're like

357
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: mountain men, but they're screeners for us. We get them

358
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: in space, particularly, they're guards. I think we can get

359
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: some pressure on the quarterback, but we got to stop

360
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: the run. I mean that is un at number one

361
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: responsibility this week. You gotta force golf to beat up. Yep,

362
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: you gotta stop the run. And Maria, I'm gonna be

363
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: looking at our offensive tackles. We got two rookies over

364
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: there and they were gonna go up against Aiden Hutchinson. Right,

365
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: you have two top ten picks going at it, Charles Cross,

366
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, and then you have Abe Lucas the later

367
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: round pick. I look at Aiden Hutchinson and I see

368
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: a guy who is never gonna give up to play.

369
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: He's still green. He's only three what three games into

370
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: his NFL career, but he has three sacks, a couple

371
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: of tackles for lost QB hits. He is super active

372
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: when you turn on the film. What I like about

373
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: our tackles is that they've already seen Bosa, you know,

374
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: so I don't think Hutchinson is gonna be like they've

375
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: seen some guys who can get after the quarterback. But

376
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: when you look at Hutchinson, what do you see? I

377
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: see he's an effort guy. Um he's a little undersize,

378
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: so if you get a veteran offensive tackle that understands

379
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: the game, they can lock him up pretty good. But

380
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of guys that are winning in

381
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: two and a half seconds. I mean those are rare sacks.

382
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean these are there. You gotta you gotta beat

383
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, you gotta win the individual battle,

384
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: and it's something defensively we gotta do better job too.

385
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: But I look at him as it's purely effort. So

386
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: for a guy like Gino, as you're counting, you know

387
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: that that clock, he is gonna keep coming after you,

388
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: so you better get rid of the football in three seconds.

389
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna beat you off the

390
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: edge two seconds now. I don't think that's the kind

391
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: of guy he is. He still got a lot to

392
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: learn about this game. I like him. You'd love to

393
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: have guys like him on the team because he never

394
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: turns the motor off. Never. It's really fun to watch

395
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: him all right. If you know the history of these

396
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: two franchises. The Hawks lead the all time series eleven

397
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: to five, and they're running on the postseason against the

398
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. The Seahawks have won seven of the last eight.

399
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,239
Speaker 1: History can deceive you sometimes, though, Man, I think this

400
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: game is gonna be more evenly matched than what people think.

401
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: But I think it comes down to things that you said,

402
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: you got to stop the run. Detroit Lions are averaging

403
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy. Swift might not be there, so

404
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: what Jamal Williams is still a really good running back.

405
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna change their offensive approach just

406
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: because a couple of guys are out. Their philosophy is

407
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: their philosophy. Whether I'm on Saint Brown is there, whether

408
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds is there. Those are two leading receivers for

409
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: these guys, whether they're with their number two running back.

410
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: You don't just change your offense because you got a

411
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: couple of guys out. No, And when I look at

412
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: their running game particularly, it's I think we can slow

413
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: their running game. Now. Again, they're not blowing. I don't

414
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: look at their offensive line. They're not two three yards downfield.

415
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: You know, pushing a defensive tackle into the linebacker, like

416
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: we've seen a couple of times already this year. They're

417
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: they're getting they're more screeners, they're more finesse players. The

418
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: big thing against Detroit They've got a run. I mean,

419
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: Swift had a fifty yard run I believe against Washington

420
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and in Saint Brown on a fly sweep at a

421
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: fifty eight yard run versus Washington. They had almost two

422
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 1: hundred yards in that game. That's where most of their

423
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: rushing yards have come from. It's just no big plays.

424
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: I was looking at a stat today it showed the

425
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: number of solo tackles by each team, and we were like,

426
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: I think forty four percent of our tackles are our

427
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: solo tackles. It was like third in the league. What

428
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: does that mean to you? Means that's not team defense, right.

429
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that is being isolated in

430
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: the passing game too, That's where most of your solo

431
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: tackles from. But I want to see more assists. I

432
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: want to see less solo tackles. We need to get

433
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: have a party at that ball and we need to

434
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: start getting to the football and everybody do their job.

435
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: Hats to the ball on with that, Hey, come join

436
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: us here on Thursday nights, we have a chance to

437
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: win gift cards from the Belvie Collections Dining District. Tonight

438
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: they're giving away gift cards to Cactus, Fago de Chao

439
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: and Tie Kitchen Bird Pepper covering them. Next, we're gonna

440
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: talk to Quentin Jefferson. That's next right here on Hawks

441
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: Live Now. Quintin Jefferson. He um had a big sack

442
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: last week, that big seven seven. He came back this year.

443
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: He's making plays already. What I like about Q is man.

444
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: He's got you talking about that motor with Hutchinson, right,

445
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: He's got a motor himself. Stall stop. Now, I remember

446
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: when we when he left and went to Buffalo and

447
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: that hurt man. I mean I remember because he was

448
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: he was an up and comer and you know, he

449
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: was playing well, and I remember him as rookie year.

450
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: You know. Now he's a big veteran at which is

451
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: which is pretty amazing. But you know, he's always been

452
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: a really good football player. And um, I'm so glad

453
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: we got him back as well, because you know, we

454
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: got so many young players on this team right now.

455
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: We need they definitely need some leadership. And you know

456
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: with his new defense three four, all new coaches, you know,

457
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Quentin Jefferson que for you, Um is hey,

458
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: because we go way back. I don't know if you know,

459
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: like a couple of seasons ago. Oh there you go. Um,

460
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's just so important. I mean, I remember

461
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: my rookie year when we had Chuck Knox's first year coaching,

462
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: and he brought in all these veteran guys who had

463
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: who knew how to win because we were a very

464
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: gifted young team, and he wanted to bring guys in

465
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that they understood what it took every

466
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: day in practice, you know, all the stuff that you

467
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: need to do to be successful. So yeah, it's good

468
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: to have him, but I can't wait to get him

469
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: on because you know, going from a four to three

470
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: to three four differ, it's a huge difference. Yeah, And

471
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, and he's got some experience. He was with

472
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in twenty sixteen, Rams in seventeen, back to

473
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks seventeen and nineteen. Then he goes to the Bills,

474
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: and he goes to the Raiders, and he's back. And

475
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: that's a m and theme we've seen with a lot

476
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: of guys with the Seahawks, somehow they find their way

477
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: back home. What do you think it is about this

478
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: organization that guys end up coming back? I think in

479
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: anything in life, right, when you're working and you just

480
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: want to be respected, you want to be treated like men.

481
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: And that's what this organization does. And that's what Pete

482
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: did when he first came here. I mean from the

483
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: top now, and it doesn't matter what position you play,

484
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: everybody's respected and they treat you like you're the most

485
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: important person in the world. Not every organization's like that.

486
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: Not every organization has the facilities that all the things

487
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: to help you recovery, drinks and your own you know, uh,

488
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: natural beef and everything. I mean, everything is perfect for

489
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: these players, and they treat them unbelievable. Why wouldn't you

490
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: want to come back? Right? So I was with the

491
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: Hogs oh eight and nine, and then I went up

492
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: to Canada and that was a rude away from I'd

493
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to Canada. The facilities were different, the people,

494
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: the people were great, but the organization was different. And

495
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: I've had friends who played for Philly, for the Chiefs,

496
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: for the Saints, and I hear horror stories about what

497
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: has happened there. Now, who knows what these organizations are like.

498
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Now that was a while ago, but I remember leaving

499
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: the Hawks even though they cut me, and I'm still

500
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: no hard feelings like they treated you with respect. And

501
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys to say that. So

502
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to hook up with quitting again. Quitting?

503
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: What's up? Man? You there? Yeah, I'm there. Are you doing?

504
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? Thanks for taking time out of

505
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: your day. I'm not gonna talk full ball to start.

506
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask you a personal question. I'm a

507
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: member of the bald head man community. Was that a

508
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: decision for you or did you just say you know

509
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna Was it forced that? Did you just

510
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: make it happy yourself. I was heard a little bit

511
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: of both either. I've been bad for us to almost

512
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: seven eight years now, and I've seen it coming. I

513
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: just jumped ahead of it. I man, I jumped ahead

514
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: of the curve. But and I embraced the ball in

515
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: this the bad life, you know, And I got a

516
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: plus for a hat, so I can I can switch

517
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: it up, just like people can switch haircut, so rot

518
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: with you. I let mine go around twenty three, twenty four,

519
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: I got like fifty hats at the house. The wife

520
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: he's like, is that enough. I'm like, there's never enough hats. Yeah.

521
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like I don't need a

522
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: hat to stay warm during the winter. I got the

523
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: first out of hair. Hey, hey, Q. We were talking

524
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: about you, you know, your rookie year and all the

525
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: potential and then you left. You came back and I

526
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: remember when you left a Buffalo that was a big

527
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: loss for the Seahawks at the time. And now you're

528
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: this veteran guy. I mean, you really are a veteran.

529
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: We were talking about with all the new coaches and

530
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: all the young players, you know, just just share the

531
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: difference where you were the last time you were here

532
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: and maybe just what you're doing from a leadership standpoint now.

533
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, it was crazy like last time I

534
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,840

Speaker 1: it's a complete three sixty, you know on all levels.

537
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got a lot of younger guys, a

538
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: lot of young talent. But you know, in the past,

539
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: I didn't have to be as vocal. You know, I

540
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: can just go out there and do my thing. Now

541
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm actually looked at as a yeah, an

Speaker 1: work my tail because guys are looking to me as

552
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: to leap away. Sir Q Man, I'm gonna call you

553
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: Q because you know, we go way back. I don't

554
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: know if you know that, but we got But uh,

555
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: you talk about the personnel changing, Uh the scheme has

556
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: changed as well. Right, you go from a four or

557
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: three to or three four. I'm not sure what you

558
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: ran at your other stops, but how has that changed? Um?

559
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Just your role in the defense. Um, I mean it

560
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: changed my role because the three to four, you know,

561
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: it is more read front and you know, it's I

562
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: guess it's like I can't I can't from four three,

563
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: or it's more it's more get off you you want

564
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: to get off the ball penetration here as you know. Yeah,

565
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: it's more reading and you know, more trying to keep

566
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: got the linebackers clean, and it's more I guess you

567
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit more disciplined, more patient,

568
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: you know. But at the end of the day, literally

569
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: is yet Football's football. You know, you get your hands

570
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: on guys on off blocks, you're gonna be good. I'm

571
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: pretty sure you're gonna be good. Yeah. So yeah, that's

572
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: not my my approach with it. You know, it's still

573
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: just and then knowing I can take my shots and

574
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: using still my news, my nuances of my skill with

575
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: a quickness lostness and using good hand usage and just

576
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: know when to take up my shots when when you

577
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: look right because you guys struggled a little bit. Um,

578
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: most big plays in the running game. Is it more

579
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: just to change in scheme or is it just what

580
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: you're saying, it's just winning an individual battles right now? Um, yeah,

581
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: that's definitely one thing is winning individual battles. You know,

582
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: one year, one on one matchups across the board and

583
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: just yeah, being disciplined, you know, being where you're everybody

584
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: being where you're expected to be. You know, we all

585
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: have to be accountable and have to be in our gaps.

586
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: And you know that's one thing about this defense. You

587
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: have to you have to be where you're supposed to be.

588
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: It's like a puzzle piece, you know, one piece is missing,

589
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: it messes up everything. You know, so we all have

590
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: to be accountable to each other. And you know, and

591
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: with that, you know, I mean you have more trust.

592
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, this this the beginning stages. You know, everybody's learning,

593
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: from coaches to players, and there's a little growing pains

594
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: right now. But I have the utmost confidence that we're

595
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get right and get back on track.

596
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's really just gaining that trust and again,

597
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: like I said, everybody being accountable for where they are.

598
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: You got coach hurt till last time you're hear he

599
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: was the defensive line coach. Now he's your defensive coordinator.

600
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Has as that I don't know, relationship changer is. He's

601
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: still the same coach Hut You've always had. He's still

602
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: the same coach. Hurt Man, he's a He's a passionate

603
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: guy and very knowsable. You know, he's still he still

604
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,159

605
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: line room, you know, every day. So I still have

606
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of time with him. You know.

607
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,600

608
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, and it's really, yeah, we gotta go execute.

609
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: You know, he's putting us in the right positions. He

610
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: knows what the other teams are doing. You know. Yeah,

611
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: it really just comes down to it's like, yeah, we

612
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: gotta go out there axecute for him because he's a

613
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: great guy, and I want to, you know, I want

614
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: to do everything I can to make sure he's successful

615
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: in this league. If y'all, I look at film, and

616
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: I encouraged my boys who think they know football, who

617
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 1: just watch it every now and then, I say, look, man,

618
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: don't worry about the the stats or the record. Look

619
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: at the progression of the offense and the defense. I know,

620
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: you guys gave up a lot of um yards on

621
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: the ground, but when you look at the progression of

622
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: this defense, do you like the way it's hooted? Yeah?

623
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I like the way it's had, and I stay, it's

624
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of growing pains and what

625
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: that I I'm saying, like, really, it's just a leminating explosive.

626
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, we played good until what was like three runs. Legit,

627
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, three runs can change the course of a game.

628
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: And that's like people don't realize how important eliminating explosives are.

629
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Explosive leads to points. Your limited explosives at ten times,

630
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: you got it, You're gonna win a game, you know.

631
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing is like, yeah, we take those

632
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: three runs away, it's a different ball game. And then

633
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: that's just that's football, you know. So that's what it

634
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: comes back to, just being disciplined, doing right longer. You know,

635
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna come down to games where who's going to

636
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: outlast other team? You know, and we still our young team.

637
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: We're still learning how to finish. And now it's our

638
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: biggest thing, you know, past couple of games, just finishing

639
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: doing write longer. So I mean I'm excited because I like, yeah,

640
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: we're hitting in the right direction. I was telling people

641
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: just be patient, you know, the first three games, and

642
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: like I said, like it's not really isn't about how

643
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: he starts, but how you finish. Look at the Cardos

644
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: last year won eight games in a row and fell

645
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: flat in their face towards the end of the year.

646
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: And then you look at the Bengals and started off slow,

647
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: and then we're in the super Bowl. So really like

648
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: it's just a testament, you know, just we can have

649
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the same conversation in December, and then I think that

650
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: would be a real conversation of how we're going. I

651
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: love it. I'm gonna tell about twelve year old do

652
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: write longer? Son? There you go, right, I love that,

653
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: right longer? Now that that is good. We're visiting with Quentin.

654
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Quentin we were talking earlier about there's a

655
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys that have came we're here in the organization,

656
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: went to other teams you've you've been with, you know,

657
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: three or four different teams you come back, Well, why

658
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: do you guys come back here? And what's different about

659
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: this organization and maybe some of the other ones you

660
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: you've been at? Um you know, I had I was

661
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to go to some great organizations when I

662
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: left here. But yeah, Seattle, Hey, you know, they're the

663
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: first team that ever believed they meant my talents and

664
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: gave me an opportunity. You know, they're familiar with me,

665
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: and just so many great people from top bottom, you know.

666
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: It's the top non experience. Um and yeah, it's just

667
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: if I can't explain it's different. You know, you get here.

668
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,840

00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: to playing peee football when it's just about having fun,

670
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, and that really when you're having the assence

671
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: of it, when you're having fun, you get the most

Speaker 1: Belvi collection dining districts, so many great restaurants to choose from.

681
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: Today we had our pre show meal at Cactus. We

682
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: had the brisket Burrito. It was delicious. All right. Coming

683
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: up next, we're gonna talk to Kobe Brian living in person.

684
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: That's next right here on Hawks a lot, Kobe Bryan

685
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: claping one time for Kobe Bryant. Thank you. All right.

686
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna just get it

687
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: out the way you hear it all the time. But

688
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: it's different coming from me. I'm gonna tell you why

689
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: it's different. One La fitting I'm from La Okay, all right,

690
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: some lot. My relationship with Kobe is different too. My

691
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: middle son's name is Kobe, named after Kobe. So one

692
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: I saw that you were you were drafted, and I said,

693
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: all right, let me look up this young man. See

694
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: what he's about. Jim Thorpe Award winner other side of

695
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner Up. I felt like you didn't get the

696
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: respect that you deserve. But I also think that helps

697
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: you play with that that chip on your shoulder, and

698
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: I love it. I love seeing you going out there

699
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: and make plays. What's crazy to me is your name

700
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: is Kobe and you're from the landl Lebron, You're from

701
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Ohio and so um was it? What was it about

702
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: Kobe that made your parents say? All right? Man, one

703
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: name our son after but switched the name up a

704
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: little bit right. It was honestly, you know, just the approach,

705
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, not just him on the court, but just

706
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: how you carried yourself as a man as well. Um,

707
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, they felt like that was the perfect name

708
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: and fit for me. Obviously the last name was already Bryant,

709
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: and it was crazy. My mom actually wanted to name

710
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: me after my dad. But what's your dad's name, Ronnie? Ronnie? Yeah,

711
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: but my mom thought that was kind of corny. What's

712
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna name me Kobe? And then that's what it was.

713
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: But what we'll leave Kobe alone now, No, he's from

714
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: Cali too. Yeah, I'm you know, I go back to

715
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: Matthew Johnson too. I got a little bit more. But

716
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: what was it like growing up with that name? Because

717
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: I gotta believe you gotta ribbed a little bit cheese.

718
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: But but what was that like? Absolutely? It was definitely.

719
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: I remember I was telling I think I was telling

720
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: my coach probably two weeks ago, like I would be

721
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: in like lunch lines for for school, and you know,

722
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 1: I would go up there and get my food, but

723
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: they didn't believe my name. So I had to like

724
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: show some form of identification that it was actually my

725
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: name before I could get some food. But just a

726
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: big piggyback on what you said. You know, it's an

727
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: honor carrying the name. You know, honestly believed that it

728
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't you know, helped me become who I am today.

729
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: You know just how I you know, think mentally, and

730
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: you know just how I go about the game as

731
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: well too, even though we played two different sports. But

732
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: he just had to write mentality and you know he's

733
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: the greatest. So about greatness, man, Yeah, I definitely pushing

734
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: absolutely So you you started your college career as a

735
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: safety at least I saw by your young safety right here. Um,

736
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: and then in college you go to corner. You went

737
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: to Jim Thorpe and then the first preseason game, AD

738
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: words a at and then I see you outside and

739
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: then they slide you inside to the nickel. What was

740
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: that transition like? And how do you like it? Because

741
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a it's a different game, and absolutely absolutely well,

742
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: just to you know, piggyback on what you said about safety,

743
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't know I was getting recruited with safety

744
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: until I first got the sense. And then you know,

745
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: for like the first I want to say, five six

746
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: or five weeks on my freshman year. They then they

747
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: changed me in a corner and then, you know, like

748
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: you said, it's a completely different thought process. Now you

749
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: know I'm on the outside, you know, covering the top receivers,

750
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: and then you know, I get here and then I'm

751
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: thinking I'm a corner, which I still am. And then

752
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, coach Hurt threw it out in the air,

753
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: like how you feel about playing Nickel. You know, I

754
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: didn't mind it, you know, just to help me get

755
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: on the field and help the team as well. And uh,

756
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, I've been learning even to this day, I'm

757
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: still under something new, you know, just to get better.

758
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: And I love it. Man, I'm around the football. I

759
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: get the blitz, as you can see. But I just

760
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Though. Well. You know what's interesting because when

761
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: they were talking about that and I was watching you

762
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: in college, I look, you're a playmaker. I mean you

763
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: read the quarterback fantastic. Look this game in the NFL,

764
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: it's between the numbers absolute and so you're in that Nickels.

765
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: So I think it's a great spot where you play.

766
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: You all show like said you get to blitz m

767
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: you got to be a part of the running game. Absolutely.

768
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: How much a part of the running game were you

769
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: in college? Not that much? You know. Me being a

770
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: physical guy that I am, you know, I like to tackle.

771
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it, you know, But like I said,

772
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: when you're on the outside, you know, you're just focusing

773
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: on covering that man, and you know, let's the formation

774
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: change where I had to be inside of the run fit.

775
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: But now with Nickel, you know, I'm pretty much a

776
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: part of it, you know, with different formations of the

777
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: offense or whatever the case may be. You know, just

778
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: understanding my run fits and everything. So now I only

779
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: played a little bit. I ain't. I ain't playing the

780
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: league as long as you are going to play. But

781
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: the biggest player I made, I heard the call and

782
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, let's get you know what I'm saying.

783
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 1: So when you heard that blitz man, what was going

784
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: on in your mind? I saw the emotion afterward. What

785
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: was that? Absolutely? You know, It's it's crazy how me

786
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: and couch Carol actually worked on, you know, my blitz path.

787
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, prior to it, I never really blitzed, you know,

788
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: from corner. I was just so focused on, you know,

789
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: just trying to make a play in the backfield. But

790
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: it's actually you know, a certain path that you have

791
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: to take to be able to make the play. And

792
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: we worked on it the whole week, and you know,

793
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: it's crazy how I showed up and like you said,

794
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: when I got the call, I was extremely excited. And

795
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: then once I got my opportunity, you know, I full speed,

796
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: you know, and made the play. So let's go, what's

797
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: that for? Because you don't see a lot of traditional

798
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: eye formation, right, I mean they had an eye format

799
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: full back, just a traditional true wide receivers offer today

800
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: it's a tight end, you know, backup without the formation

801
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: you were expecting for the blitz. Absolutely you were you know,

802
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: like I said, I give thanks to you know, Coach

803
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Hurt and Coach Carroll for even giving me the opportunity

804
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: to even blitz on that play. And like I said,

805
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: it was a great call, you know, at the right time,

806
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: and you know, I just made the play. So man,

807
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: So I watched film on you in college in the world.

808
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: One of the things, many things I stood out was

809
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: how I always look at how a player body language

810
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: is when the ball is in the air, because there's

811
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: some dudes who just lose everything and don't know what

812
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: to do. And I always watching, I'm like, all right,

813
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: he has great body control when the balls in the air.

814
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: Then I heard that you played baseball play in the outfit.

815
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you think that has something to do with it? Absolutely?

816
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, if you could track at baseball, you know,

817
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: me playing center field, it helps you a lot. You know,

818
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: the football is obviously way bigger, but that definitely played

819
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: a big part in you know, having great ball skills

820
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: and you know, just not panicking when when the ball

821
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: is in the air. Yeah. What did you play in

822
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: high school? Center field? First base? And I pitched a little.

823
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: What about on the football field? Played quarterback, receiver and

824
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: then I played safety and corner too. Did you play basketball? No? No, basketcase.

825
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: You're the first guest we've had because we've had Charles Cross,

826
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: had Abe Lucas, and we had Tarique Wool and they

827
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: all think they're phenomenal football players. But so you go

828
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. Your brother, Christian played in the NFL for

829
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: a long time as well, but started as a freshman

830
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Um, how do you end up at

831
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati with your brother going to hard State the whole time.

832
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, you know, with him going to Ohio

833
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: State and I was being the younger brother, I obviously

834
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: wanted to be do everything that he did, you know,

835
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: whether if it's went to Ohio State or whether the

836
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: case may be how State didn't recruit me, So you know,

837
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: I kind of took a personal you know, and you know,

838
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: like I said, just used that extra chip on my

839
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: shoulders to keep working. And then you know, Coach Fickle

840
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: actually coached my brother at Ohio State. And then once

841
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: I got the opportunity, you know, once he got the

842
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: job at Sincy, he offered me, and you know I

843
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: didn't hesitate at all. You know, I jumped right at it,

844
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: and you know the rest is history. So I feel like,

845
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, that was part of God's plan. Is my

846
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: plan as well too, to you know, have an opportunity

847
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: with with Sincy. How many times did you play on

848
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: Howse State just once? How how did you play? We lost?

849
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: How did you How did I play? Um? Not good? Okay,

850
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: I was waiting for a really good story. I should

851
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: have come better. Research that. No apologize for that. That's good,

852
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: It's all good. Then you got an interesting story, You've

853
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: been around good football players. So I took my trip

854
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: to USC back in the day before you were probably

855
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: even born or you just a baby, and Ted Ginn

856
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: was on my trip. Yeah, and you guys went to

857
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: the same high school so there. So what was it

858
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: like just being around that at a young age. I

859
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: would imagine that seeing just all the accomplishments and and

860
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: the love that he was getting inspired even more to

861
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: do what you do right, you know. You know, he's

862
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: a big help even to this day. You know, that's

863
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: like my big brother. We talk a lot um, you know.

864
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: I was just I just seen him in the summer,

865
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: and you know, he was just telling me about the

866
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: Seattle and like I said, he's just just seeing that.

867
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: From four or five years old up until now, it

868
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: has been a tremendous help to now I know what

869
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: it takes to you know, make it to the NFL,

870
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, and and him playing fifteen years in the NFL.

871
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: It's Craig, it's a blessing, you know, and him, you know,

872
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: giving me the game to now I could play twenty

873
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: years if you know. So it's it's it's extreme helping.

874
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm extreamly Bess what's your return game? Like is you

875
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: know Ted, you know, had the burners out there, not

876
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: on his level, and I he had at I can't return.

877
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I can't return anything. So we

878
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: hear a lot from people who get drafted by the

879
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: Seahawks that we said, what did you know you're gonna

880
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: draft by the Seahawks? Aga, I didn't even talk to

881
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: me right, well, what was your story there? Actually I

882
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: did so the Seahawks probably like three times. And then

883
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, and I was at the combine. I had

884
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: to sit out with Coach Hurt, Coach Carrol, Coach Scott,

885
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, the rest of those guys all in one room.

886
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: So I'm walking in the room and I'm like, oh man,

887
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys in here, like a lot

888
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: of people in here. And then I'm then another thing

889
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: is like I'm actually gonna meet with Coach Carroll, like

890
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's a legend. And you know

891
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: I met in there. I went in there, they put

892
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: up some film, you know, I talked them through it.

893
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: It was only like six minutes. So I'm leaving out.

894
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm like, I couldn't have did that. Good.

895
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: Then if for me was on like six minutes. And

896
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: then you know, I get the call on draft day

897
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: and I was extremely excited about that. So so you

898
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: you land in Seattle, and at least when we did it,

899
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: they pick you up from the air point of the

900
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 1: shut Yo, fourteen dudes in the van. You size and

00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: walking through the doors and being like, all right, it's

906
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: time to compete, the time to go. Yeah, just like

907
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: you said, literally everything you said it happened, you know,

908
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: from getting on a flight. Um, you know it was.

909

910
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: draft task actually played in the Senior Bowl with me,

911
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: so I was familiar with those guys. And then you know,

912
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: once I walked in, like you said in VBAC, I

913
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: knew it was time. You know. I got fitted for

914
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: my helmet, my jersey, got my cleats and everything, and

915
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: I just knew it was. From that point on it

916
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: was time to go to work. So we're visiting with

917
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant d Kobe Bryant for the Seattle Seahawks Corner.

918
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: Talk about the locker ron with the locker room, um,

919
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms with the dB and mean you got

920
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: coach Scott, you got coach to side, talk about just

921
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: how they are as coaches and the way they communicate,

922
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: because I've seen some YouTube and they're pretty impressive at point. Absolutely, yeah, definitely,

923
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: Just like you said, they're two different guys. Obviously, you know,

924
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: coach guy is more of the you know, the funny guy,

925
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: but he's also extremely smart versus you know, coast to side.

926
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: He's extremely smart coming from a defensive coordinator, you know, standpoint.

927
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: But those guys have you know, helped me, not just me,

928
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: but everyone in the room as well, but you know

929
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: me right now, have helped me play the nickel position

930
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: and actually understanding and honestly you know even smart in

931
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: my football IQ as well too, so that they have

932
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: been a tremendous help. Do you guys stay together as

933
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: dbs or do you sometimes break his corners and safety?

934
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: You guys all stay against together? Yes, okay, I mean

935
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: because they're in the past, sometimes they break that stuff upright, men,

936
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: I was on the offensive side of the ball. But

937
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: I remember when I got to the league, I thought, man,

938
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: this is fast man. And when I was in college,

939
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: we played USC. I'm a Pac twelve guy. We played Auburn,

940
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: we played Wisconsin. I see that you played against Alabama, Georgia, Ucla,

941
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: what's the other school name? Ohio State? When what was

942
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: the difference? Where was that competition close to the NFL.

943
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Did you feel the same or did you get to

944
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: the league and be like, Okay, this is even a

945
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: notch above them, right? Honestly, yeah, they you know, going

946
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: against those schools in college, you know, they definitely was

947
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: NFL talent level obviously, you know. But once I got

948
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: to the NFL, honestly, once I got to you know,

949
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: practice and started you know covering you know, uh, Tyler Lockett,

950
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: you know a DK and uh, you know, just seeing

951
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: those guys, and they honestly prepared me, you know, for

952
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: the games, you know, those two other two rest receivers

953
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And so honestly, I wouldn't say the

954
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: game was that much faster, but it definitely was faster

955
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: for sure. Do they give you any tempts to DK

956
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: and locking those guys talk to you and be like, hey,

957
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: when I do this, think this definitely, definitely. You know,

958
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: they've been giving me tenptions I've been here, you know,

959
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: and I'm extremely gratul for those two and like I said,

960
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: they prepared me for any receivers. So when I step

961
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: out there on Sundays, I'm not you know, nervous or

962
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: you know, where the the case may be. So, but

963
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: we've seen the improvement every week. Do you feel like

964
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: you're you're there. It's just since slowing down for you absolutely,

965
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: you know that's the biggest goal, bigger goal for you know,

966
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: not just me, but anyone, you know, just to improve

967
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: every week. You know. You know it's a long season,

968
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: so you know, we just have to keep getting better

969
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: and you know, keep focusing on little things I can't

970
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: talk about. I don't know. I mean, that's it's a

971
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: long way from ahime. Um, it's a different culture up here.

972
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: The weather has been great so far. So and by

973
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,480

00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: do away from football? If anything you've you've gotten comfortable

977
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: with out here. Yeah. Just the restaurants here are pretty

978
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: good too, you know, so I like to you know

982
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I know, and you know, about a month or so,

983
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like this. So you know, I'm

984
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: enjoying why I can't cold, but it'll be a little round,

985
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: a little nippy. Be from the Midwest, so you should

986
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: be What are the people like is? I remember, I'm

987
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: from La La. Nobody talk, nobody, head down, Everyone's in

988
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: their own thing. I went up to the Northwest and

989
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: people are looking me in the eye saying, you know, hey,

990
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: how are you doing. I wasn't used to that. What's

991
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: the difference between this the culture between the Midwest and here,

992
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: and what are the similarities? The only difference is I

993
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, the people are a lot nicer here,

994
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,120

Speaker 1: with their head down, or not even pay attention to you.

999
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: And then the similarities are. I would say, like, you know,

1000
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: it's good food spots here and you know and then

1001

1003
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask a different question. Okay,

1020
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: return on hot side, we will go around the NFL.

1021
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: That's next, Kobe Bryanton. Impressive young That was a really

1022
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: fun interview and really was. Um he is very comfortable

1023
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: in his skin. He really intelligent young man. And um,

1024
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: he wants to get into a broadcasting Well, clearly, look,

1025
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm he'll about about the time he's ready, I'll be

1026
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah, I'm a to hold on my job.

1027
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: If you mess with messing with Kobe Brann Now, I

1028
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: don't want to mess with him. He's gonna be a

1029
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: fantastic football player too. I mean I loved watching in

1030
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: his games in college. I mean he's just a playmaker.

1031
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: And you know, the transition from outside to inside, I

1032
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: mean it is a learning curve, you know, because you're

1033
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: really playing between the numbers. Now there's different routes, combinations.

1034
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: You're dropping a zone. You know you're on the outside.

1035
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: It's you're you're looking inside, right, and so you look inside.

1036
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: My receiver comes inside. Now I'm looking for somebody coming outside.

1037
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: Well it's completely different. Now I'm a slot. I got

1038
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: a guy going in and I gotta look for a turn. Yeah,

1039
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: but I never have to do that when I'm outside

1040
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: and you're accounted for sometimes in the run game, so

1041
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: there's somebody coming to block it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1042
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: now he's gonna be a really good Yeah, he's gonna

1043
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: be good. Well, let's let's go around the NFL and

1044
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 1: talk about some matchups that we are looking uh looking

1045
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: forward to seeing. The first one that I see that

1046
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: pops out to me more is Kansas City versus Tampa Bay.

1047
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: Both these future Hall of famers that goat himself, Tom

1048
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: Brady and Pat Mahomes are coming off a losses. Tom

1049
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: Brady loss to the Green Bay Packers than the Kansas

1050
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: City Chiefs were upset by the Indianapolis Colts. I wrote

1051
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: them off already, but that's the NFL. You never know.

1052
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: I want to see how how these how these guys

1053
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: wrote them off as not a threat to these guys,

1054
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: not write them off like they're not gonna make the

1055
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: playoffs or it's over for them. But I didn't think

1056
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: that would give Kansas City no type of work. But

1057
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: that's the Sunday night game. And then was a great

1058
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: job of scheduling, like, of course you want Pat Mahomes

1059
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,439
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady on Sunday Night football. I'm looking forward

1060
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: to that game. Any matchups you're looking forward to seeing, well,

1061
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: I think this year so there's no great team. I

1062
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: thought Buffalo was the great team and they went and

1063
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: I get traveling down to Florida and playing Miami. I mean,

1064
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: those are always tough games for anybody in the AFC East.

1065
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: I mean, New England always struggled even though they had

1066
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: great teams. But I was still a little bit shocked

1067
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: that they ended up losing that game because I really

1068
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: thought that'd be the one team that would be undefeated

1069
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: for a while. There's two undefeated teams left, and there's

1070
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: a good chance that Dolphins lose tonight. And him, yeah,

1071
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean and Cincinnati. To me, he is a bit

1072
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: of the I don't know, I guess surprise so far

1073
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: to me because I thought they were such a good

1074
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: football team, but their offensive line it's horrible. So the

1075
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: game I'm I'm most interested in that I had no

1076
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: idea would be an interest to me coming into this

1077
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: year is the Jags versus Goes. I mean, the Jaguars

1078
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: are two and one They've got a lot of talent. Again,

1079
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: you lose as often as they do, you're gonna have

1080
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: some high draft picks. And obviously you got Trevor Lawrence

1081
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: now is playing pretty good. They got a coaching staff

1082
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: that actually knows what they're doing. It doesn't createing all

1083
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: kinds of noise, you know, behind the scenes for the players.

1084
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: The Eagles, to me is another huge surprise. Um. Their

1085
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: schedule so far has been kind of weak, so I

1086
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: think this would be a good test to see which

1087
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: one of these guys is real. But both of them

1088
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: right now it seemed like pretty good football teams. You

1089
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: talk about the Buffalo Bills, I know you saw what

1090
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: happened with that off as a coordinated Ken Dorsey, the

1091
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: kid at the University of Miami, he lost his You

1092
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: know what now, I'm gonna I tell people, I go, man,

1093
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: stuff like this happens in the NFL. But whoever covered

1094
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: up that camera to for damage control and block all

1095
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: the complete fit he needs a raise because we saw

1096
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey lose his cool. But I felt like it

1097
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: would have went a step further if we would have

1098
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: saw what happened. But this is what I told people,

1099
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: I go, look man, this is football. It's emotional, right,

1100
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: whether you're on the field, whether you're upstairs calling plays,

1101
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: whether you're on the sideline, it's emotional. I don't know

1102
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: one person who's conducted himself exactly the way he's wanted

1103
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: to conduct himself at all times while coaching or playing

1104
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: a football game. So I guess he'll learn from it.

1105
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: But it doesn't surprise me to see an off as

1106
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: a coordinator. Look more, they had ninety plays, Josh, I

1107
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: went through the ball for four hundred yards. They possessed

1108
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: the ball. They have more rushing yards, more passing yards,

1109
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: more first downs, and they lost that game. I might

1110
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: be mad too as a coordinator. Well, and there was

1111
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: about one hundred degrees. And you know, he actually had

1112
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of praise talking about their offensive coordinator for

1113
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: the Bills because of the effort they did. I you know,

1114
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: I've coached in the NFL, I've coach in high school,

1115
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: and the times I get the most mad is when

1116
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: I know we should be better. I know I should

1117
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: have been better as a coach. You know, I know

1118
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: we should have executed better. I didn't get mad when

1119
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: we lost, mad when we lost a game. That man,

1120
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: I may have mess out up. You know, my guys,

1121
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: why why did I've coached this thing a thousand times?

1122
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: And you're so frustrated because you spend so much time

1123
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: preparing these people to for an opportunity to win. And

1124
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: with coaches, I get to hang my hat on one thing.

1125
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: It's wins and losses. That's it. As a player, I

1126
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: can go play great and we lose. I'm bummed. But

1127
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: I get to walk in the room and say I

1128
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: did my job right. I mean there's been times where

1129
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: we've won and I said, man, this is gonna be

1130
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: a brutal, brutal film. So it's very different as a

1131
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: player than a coach. I don't have a problem with

1132
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: that at all. The other big game, I think, you know,

1133
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: it's rams at forty nine ers. I've got the forty

1134
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: nine ers, a super Bowl contending team. I thought they

1135
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: were too. They just that last week thing against Denver,

1136
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: What the heck was that? You gotta be kidding me?

1137
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: You know what? It looked like? Ten points? We we

1138
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: thought when the way Jimmy entered the game and looked

1139
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: so smooth doing what he does, he fooled us. We

1140
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, Jimmy He's like, it's it's just insert

1141
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: and let's go. But it looked like he has some

1142
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: learning to do as well, or at least he's knocking

1143
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 1: off Jimmy from Rummy or some coy Jimmy. Jimmy got

1144
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: them to the conference championships. Everybody knows what Jimmy, Jimmy,

1145
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: what Jimmy has these weaknesses, Jimmy, he goes to his comfort.

1146
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: His comfort is I'm going to throw between the numbers,

1147
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: and all you gotta do is crowd in the middle

1148
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: of the field. He's gonna throw some picks to you know,

1149
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: he always does. He almost threw two to us in

1150
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: the game we played. Um, I think it was more disappointed.

1151
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: They just couldn't move the football the way they should

1152
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: have in the running game. I mean, I thought Denver's

1153
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: defense was good. I just didn't know they were gonna

1154
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: be that good. And I think they're third in the

1155
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: league right now, eleven to ten. I mean, I hated

1156
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: to see Russell again in a fourth quarter comeback thing.

1157
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: They did it surprise you though, No, Well, what surprised

1158
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: me is how poorly he's playing right now. But what

1159
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me is I got the football in my

1160
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 1: hand and it's the last drive. I'm gonna go down

1161
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: and score. We've seen that a million times. I mean,

1162
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: we've seen Russell not have good I've seen Russell throw

1163
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: four interceptions in the first half and come back. I

1164
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: can win in a playoff game. I've seen Russell We're

1165
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: down twenty one to nothing, and I go, man, this

1166
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: guy's not good, and you know, he finds a way

1167
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: to win. And he's not the same player to me

1168
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 1: that he used to be. You know, you win eleven ten,

1169
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 1: it's hard to give your quarterback credit, and especially when

1170
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: two of those paint points came out of safety. Um,

1171
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: but I guess I gotta give him a little credit. Yeah,

1172
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: you gotta give him some love, got him. I don't

1173
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: have to. You don't have to, and I'm actually I'm

1174
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: not going to, So never mind, you already did. It's

1175
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: a universe. Sorry put it there. Can edit that, Okay,

1176
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna edit that. Hey more, did not give love

1177
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: to Russell Moore did not do that? All right? One

1178
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: game I'm looking forward to see him, is your boy

1179
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: Russ Verse. Then the Raiders are three. They are oh

1180
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: and three. They might be the most talented. Oh and

1181
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: three team I've seen. You got Davonte, You got Derek Carr,

1182
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 1: who is an above average quarterback, not in eleague quarterback.

1183
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: You got Darren Waller, the one of the best tight

1184
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: ends of the game. Got Hunter Renfro, one of the

1185
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: best slots in the game. You got Josh Jacobs in

1186
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,240
Speaker 1: the backfield. It makes no sense. Why why these guys

1187
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: are on three? Well, here's the sense, man. You Josh

1188
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,479
Speaker 1: McDaniels man his record, he's coach. Here's a head coach.

1189
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: Inn he Yeah, there's just something about him. I don't know.

1190
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: He's a good offensive coordinating and there are some guys

1191
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: that that transition to head coach it's very different. I mean,

1192
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: you're managing the whole team. It's not just the football

1193
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: part of it. You also got to deal with, you know,

1194
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: the general managers and the scouts. I mean, there's so

1195
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: many things that go into I gotta deal with the

1196
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 1: media every single and so your time is pulled in

1197
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: every direction. And then I gotta go call plays, and

1198
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: then I gotta have somebody make sure that they do

1199
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: the clock management part. And somebody's pulling on my belt

1200
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,959
Speaker 1: to make sure I'm you know, back back. You get

1201
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: back coach. There's so much into that going from a

1202
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: you know, a CEO to a president or CEO of

1203
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: a company. And that's what he that jump is the

1204
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: second week in a row you've mentioned that he's a

1205
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: president of a company, so he knows exactly what he's taught.

1206
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: Talking about, folks, it's hard, I'm saying, man, the transition's hard,

1207
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: and it takes time, is all I'm saying. To settle in.

1208
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 1: And I think of anytime you hire a head coach,

1209
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: and even in college, particularly in college, you take an

1210
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and put him in a major program as

1211
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: a head coach right from the get go, Man, that

1212
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: rarely works out. You gotta watch a guy build a

1213
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: program and go through all those learning curves and I

1214
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: just look at that's to me, what the Raiders are.

1215
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: They just they got a head coach's probably very talented

1216
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, it just doesn't know how to

1217
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,879
Speaker 1: quite run a franchise. I'm gonna put this out there.

1218
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: Two years he is the offensive coordinator for the New

1219
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: England Patriots. He seems to find his way back home.

1220
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Is like, man,

1221
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, live life. You know, your eighteen year old,

1222
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: you send them off to college and they're like, you

1223
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 1: know what, Dad, I messed up this semester. I'm gonna

1224
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: come home again because I need some more discipline. And

1225
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,200
Speaker 1: that's that's what's going on with him right there. All right,

1226
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: lots more to do when we get back. When we

1227
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: come back, we are going into the film room. That

1228
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: is when we break down a bunch of players. We're

1229
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna break down Will Disley's eighteen yard touchdown, Kobe Bryant

1230
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: sack against Marcus Mariota, and also Marcus Mariota finds Drake

1231
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: Lendon for a fourteen yard touchdown. We're gonna break break

1232
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 1: down those plays next right here on Hawks loot. Kobe

1233
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: Bryant has been here, we talked to Quentin Jefferson, We've

1234
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: previewed the Lions, and now it is time to break

1235
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,439
Speaker 1: down some of the players from last week. We called

1236
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: this going inside the film room. The very first play

1237
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down Paul Moyer Gino Smith finds Will

1238
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: Disley forward eighteen yard touchdown, empty backfield on second and

1239
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: thirteen Gino down touchdown Shawks great protection for Gino. He waited,

1240
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: waiting and Will Disley comes open it to go on.

1241
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: Geno fires are shot and the Sheehawks scoring their first

1242
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: touchdown in six quarters and may retake the lead at

1243
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: nine to seven. All right, I'll tell you what I

1244
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: see here, Moyer. I see a three by two set

1245
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: that is empty. You got three receivers to the right

1246
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: of Geno. You got the two tight ends kind of

1247
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: tighten a nasty look. And then you have I think

1248
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: that's where Shot Penny has the number one sever outside

1249
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: up top. You got two receivers and the defense is

1250
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: in a two high look. You got two safeties. Right.

1251
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: What happens here is that Mike goes on the blitz.

1252
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: That's the middle linebacker blitzer. So the middle of the

1253
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: field is open. The middle field is already one of

1254
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: the softest spots on the field when it comes to

1255
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: attacking a two high defense. So now you have Will

1256
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: Disley and Kobe Parkinson at the number three and the

1257
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: number two spot. Number three is the guy closest to

1258
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: the tackle. The number two is a guy next to him.

1259
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: What Kobe Parkinson does is he runs a speed out,

1260
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 1: so now that an outside backer has to respect him

1261
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 1: a little bit. He bounces outside the corner downside, has

1262
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: eyes inside. He's in the cover of two. Look, so

1263
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: he's respecting the speed out. What will this he does.

1264
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: We used to call this back in college a prairie

1265
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: an outpost. Apparently there's a show called out on the

1266
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: Prairie back in the day, and my coach said, look,

1267
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna call an outpost because it reminds me out

1268
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: on the prairie. So he runs an out attacking that linebacker,

1269
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: widens him up a bit, and then he snaps it

1270
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: right in between the safeties. Geno Smith knows, Look that

1271
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: mic linebacker is gone. The middle of the field is

1272
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: wide open. But I gotta be on time. If he

1273
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: is not on time, there's a crossing route coming from

1274
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. He's in the slot on the other side

1275
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: of the field crossing. If he doesn't throw the full

1276
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: ball exactly when he throws it, this ball is tipped

1277
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: or DK interferes everyone. This is a perfect example of

1278
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: everybody doing their job, spreading the field out. Gino, seeing

1279
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: the blitz you throw to the vacant spot. Yeah, I mean, look,

1280
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: this is another good one by Shane Waltern. I mean

1281
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: this is scheme big time. You think he was expecting

1282
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 1: this that no question. Well, I think the way they're

1283
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: running their cover two. Usually when you run a cover two,

1284
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: you have the corners outside. You try to funnel the receivers,

1285
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: the outside receivers inside, so you don't stretch the safeties

1286
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: too wide because the weakness of that defense is down

1287
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. So a linebacker has to

1288
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: run with the number three receiver whoever runs down the

1289
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: middle of the field. So but what Landed does is

1290
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: they try to trick them a little bit and they

1291
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: bring their corners inside and so, and they must be

1292
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: expecting us to run some crossing routes or something, or

1293
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: inside the numbers. So they're saying, okay, they're expecting something

1294
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: as well, or maybe they thought they were gone a

1295
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: site adjust, you know, with sending a middle linebacker. The

1296
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: problem with this, and this is why this was scheme.

1297
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: This is all to me on Shane Waldron this touchdown.

1298
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: As soon as they see that they put both of

1299
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: their roide receivers, they put on an out wide down

1300
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: the sideline. Why did they do that because it forces

1301
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: the safeties that they have to go to the sideline,

1302
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: which makes the middle of the field even wider. Geno

1303
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: sees it immediately in our tight end. Disley does a

1304
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: great job because he fakes like he's going to run

1305
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: like a little bit of an out route, and then

1306
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 1: he immediately breaks it back to the post. Gino waste

1307
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: no time. He barely gets to his third step and

1308
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: that balls out as soon as he sees the linebacker

1309
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: not run deep. With that tight end. He says, it's

1310
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: wide open. There's no safety then, and now it's still.

1311
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: It's a precision throw. It's a precision everybody who just said,

1312
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: everybody did their job. The outside receivers, even though one

1313
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: was I think was Penny, they did their job, got wide,

1314
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: forced the safety to honor that, and then Disley beat

1315
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: the linebacker and Gino saw it was a great throw.

1316
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: It's a great, great call. Yep, beautiful call, beautiful throw.

1317
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Everyone does their job all right. This next play, Kobe

1318
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Bryant sex Marcus Mariota for a six yard loss second

1319
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: down in sixteen. After the penalty, I backs behind, Mariota

1320
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: turns play fake, gets hit and goes down and he

1321
01:00:52,760 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: gets blasting. Kobe Bryant coming on the flips game again

1322
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: on this one. We had Kolby on earlier and he

1323
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: talked about this, this blitz and sack, and I asked him,

1324
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: I said, did you were you expecting this formation? Because

1325
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: usually in this situation you get three wide receivers or

1326
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: you get two wide receivers two tight ends. They actually

1327
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: went to a traditional pro offensive formation where they had

1328
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: an eye formation, two backs in the backfield, they had

1329
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: a tight end to the defenses left, and then two

1330
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers split out on the opposite ends of each other.

1331
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: And so again this was a great call by coach Hurt.

1332
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: They end up bringing our outside linebacker inside the tight end.

1333
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: They weren't expecting Kobe Bryant to blitz off the edge

1334
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: coming off the tight end, so they just said and

1335
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: then the way their protection worked too, we end up

1336
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: sending five guys. They wouldn't have been able to pick

1337
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: them up anyways, they had had to change protection the

1338
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: other way. What's fun And it's a great blitz. And

1339
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: sometimes the blitzes when you're wide open, no one blocks

1340
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: you and the quarterbacks looking at you, you miss it

1341
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: a lot. It doesn't take much sometimes just all they

1342
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta do is make a step, half a step one

1343
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: way or the other. He drills the quarterback in Mariota

1344
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: is a pretty gifted runner. That was impressive. The funniest

1345
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: part to me is how crazy Kobe Bryant went on

1346
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: this blitz. Oh yeah, he's so exact. And I watched

1347
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: our defensive ends Noosu. He's like, hey, good John y. Yeah,

1348
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: it's a sack. I should add, But nice work. I'm

1349
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: kind of teasing, but it was kind of the reaction.

1350
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: But there's a great play. Another great call buy our coaches. Yeah,

1351
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I love the call to Kobe Bryant's side as a receiver.

1352
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I see that safety creep down and he's standing right

1353
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: over that nickel. I'm thinking something's about to happen right there.

1354
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: He's creeping, and then you look at Darryl Taylor. He

1355
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: occupies that tight end. If Darrel Taylor goes outside, he

1356
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: doesn't do what he's supposed to be, goes outside that

1357
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: tight end, he gets in the way of Kobe Bryant.

1358
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: But because he goes inside, he attacks what that c gap.

1359
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: It forces the tight end to respect it. Then it

1360
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: opens up that outside lane for Kobe Bryant, and then

1361
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: it's just getting after the quarterback making a play. Just

1362
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 1: like when your receiver catching the football and you're all

1363
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: by yourself. If I would imagine, get after the quarterback

1364
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: and y'all buy yourself. There's a lot of opportunity to

1365
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: mess some things up, no question. And Noosh's on the

1366
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: other side. He beats their tackle really quick. There's actually

1367
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: a holding penalty they called on their offensive tackle. So

1368
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: if Kobe doesn't get there, I think Noosu gets there.

1369
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: So maybe that's more of the reaction from Noos like, man,

1370
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: you held me. I just had a corners and Nickel

1371
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: got a sack, and I could have got that if

1372
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't held. But again, great call, really really well run.

1373
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Good job, all right, this last player, we're gonna break

1374
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: down marks. Mariota finds Drake and London for a fourteen

1375
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Empty backfield for Mario, the three receivers near inside.

1376
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Blitz is coming, throw inside, spinning out of one tackle,

1377
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: breaking another is London for a touchdown. They just made

1378
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: that way too easy, made it look way too easy.

1379
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Blitz was coming and he just got rid of the

1380
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: ball instantly, did Mariota. And then London broke two tackles

1381
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and stepped into the end zone from fourteen and now

1382
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons once again take the lead of twenty six

1383
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: twenty three. Look, I mean, Drake Lendon makes a really

1384
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: good spin move. I mean, to me, it's just an

1385
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: effort play. They see a blitz from us. They are

1386
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: empty backfield, they see US blitz and so Mariota didn't

1387
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: even take a step and he just throws it immediately.

1388
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Here's who it jumped out of me on this play.

1389
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: That should not have been a touchdown. They're left tackle jumped.

1390
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: That should have been a legal procedure. Should have been

1391
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: a five yard penalty. They should have called that play dead.

1392
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea why they didn't, but they should have. Now.

1393
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: The other thing is we have to learn that when

1394
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: they run hitch routes, where's my help? And so young guys,

1395
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: you got to help inside with the safety. You cannot

1396
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: let him spin around because there's nobody outside for that touchdown.

1397
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: At the same time, Drake Glendon, he's gonna be a

1398
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: pretty good wide receiver. See blitz, throw into the blitz

1399
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: and then force the defense to make a tackle. Those

1400
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: are the three plays that we broke down. Geno Smith

1401
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: finds Will Disney for a touchdown. Kobe Bryant says Mark

1402
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: as Mario and then Marcus Mariota finds Drake Lendon for

1403
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: a touchdown. When we returned, we will talk that taught

1404
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: me and Paul Moyer will break down some topics and

1405
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: it's Geno smith Man. Is he gonna lead the league

1406
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: in NFL with completions? We'll Detroit and rush for a

1407
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: hundred yards. We'll talk about a couple of things and

1408
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: more that is next right here on Hawks Live. Enough

1409
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: of that more, he's a victory. How do we do this?

1410
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 1: How do we get this done? Slow the running game down,

1411
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: just talk defensively, and we got golf. Is gonna give

1412
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: us opportunities to get an interception. We've only have one

1413
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: so far. I mean tariqu will and got one last week.

1414
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: We gotta start getting some turnovers on defense. So that's

1415
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: a big one and they're right for it. Look. The

1416
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: other one is I think we're a good team that

1417
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: just needs to play good for four quarters. You know

1418
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: that we got these spurts. We got a lot of

1419
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: young guys. Just shut it down, man, Just go play football. Man. Yes,

1420
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: you need to think it's called alignment assignment, then react

1421
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: and go play football and do your assignment. Do your assignment.

1422
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Do what you're told to do. I think it will

1423
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: be fine. Look, I'd really like to see us get

1424
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: thirty some carries. I mean, we just have not done that.

1425
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: We're third in the league and yards per game, but

1426
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: we're not yards per care. We're pretty good yards per carrey.

1427
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: They just mean we're just not getting enough opportunities. Yep.

1428
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Gotta stop the run and you have

1429
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: to make Jared Golf turn the football over. Gino continue

1430
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: to be the guy we've seen for three weeks, which

1431
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: is the most accurate quarterback in the NFL. That is,

1432
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: It's simple, is done. Get to Detroit. He's gonna finish

1433
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: his most quarterback in the league this year too, That's

1434
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,600
