1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: This is the huddle, the handoff, inside the sermon. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 2: He's gonna go touchdowns, exclusively on Seattle Sports on seven ten, 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: Seattle Sports on YouTube, and the Seattle Sports App with 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: hosts Michael Bumpus, Stacy Rosk and Dave Why but time 5 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: to go inside the huddle. 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 3: Huddle at you know, Dave Bump I never thought I'd 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: say this after a Seahawks loss, but I think that 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 3: there was a good and bad way to lose, and 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, the public perception of him, the national statement 10 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: made by just being in a duel with the Tampa 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield, I think was a pretty 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 3: positive one against Again, it was a heartbreaker. No one 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: wanted to see the Seahawks lose this one, especially when 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 3: they built their way back into it in the second 15 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: half and it just fell short. But let's start with 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: what we all saw from the offense. 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what were there ten incompletions in. 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: This entire game between both quarterbacks? Baker Mayfield eighty eight percent? 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 6: It was a quarterback's dream, right because he was sacked 21 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 6: one time and Sam was not sacked. Ended up with 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 6: the interception that I didn't really, you know, I thought 23 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 6: he got hit on that play. 24 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: Also only an interception between them. 25 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 6: Yeah, so yeah, it was a good day for quarterbacks, 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 6: bad day for linebackers. 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 5: So yeah. 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 6: I mean, look they put up four hundred and sixty 29 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 6: three yards, So yeah, I mean you talk about is that. 30 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 4: I guess that's a good way to lose. But you know, 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: losing sucks. 32 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: Bump, what about you your thoughts with this offense? 33 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 7: Leaving that one, you saw a little bit of everything, right, 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 7: Jasin continues to be that guy the running game. Second 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 7: week in Row, you go over one hundred yards one 36 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 7: hundred and twenty two yards on the ground, and you 37 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 7: moved the football. There were five consecutive drives where the 38 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 7: Hawks scored a touchdown. I can't remember the last time 39 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 7: they did something like that. So the offense was moving. 40 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 7: You protect your quarterback. I mean he got hit a 41 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 7: couple times, I think, sacked once. No, Baker Mayfield was 42 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 7: sacked once and Sam Donald wasn't sacked at all. So 43 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 7: it was it was a display man. The arms were, 44 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 7: aren't I yesterday or yesterday? Bus yesterday said. 45 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: Four for four in the red zone would have been 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: five for five were it not a twenty one yard 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: touchdown to to Horton there on fourth down. Let's transition 48 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: to the defense just a little bit. We're gonna be 49 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 3: joined by Charles Cross and we're going to ask Charles 50 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: about the offense and Sam Darnold. So we are going 51 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: to get back to this. But I was trying to 52 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: figure out Dave and Bump leaving this one. Whether is 53 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: this just not having the guys that you would normally 54 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: have out there? Is this sixty seventy percent injury related 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 3: or was this bad execution? 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: Yeah? 57 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 6: I thought it was bad execution because you know, they 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 6: had the backups in there a couple of weeks before that, 59 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 6: and they were just fine. 60 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: They all did their job. 61 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 6: So but yeah, I mean it was just a lot 62 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 6: of I don't remember being as frustrated in a game 63 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 6: in a long time, just because it was mistackles. It 64 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 6: was Okay, you've got leverage, You're going to turn everything 65 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 6: back inside. No, I'm gonna sniff inside and go and 66 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 6: try to make a play. Guy busts it out on 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 6: the edge. So yeah, I mean, just very undisciplined defense, 68 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 6: I think. And you know, and I thought going in, look, 69 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 6: this is kind of like the battle of the backups, 70 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 6: because they had a lot of backups as well. 71 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 4: I mean their offensive line. 72 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 6: They had two second round starters that were on ir 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 6: you know weeks ago. 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, they had neither their first nor second string corner. 75 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 76 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 6: Right, So yeah, there was just a lot and I 77 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 6: thought that, you know the New Orleans game where it 78 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 6: was like, hey, we have good backups and you know, 79 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 6: you just plug in whoever and they're going to do 80 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 6: the job, and for whatever reason just didn't get done. 81 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: But when it comes to the defense, did you see 82 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: a group with you know, hey, it was just a 83 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: really good defense you got beat or like Dave, was it? 84 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: Hey? 85 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: I saw execution things and maybe a follow up with that, 86 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: is it something they can correct against Jacksonville because they're 87 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: on the road against a team that's coming off a win. 88 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, No, it was execution. 89 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 7: There was safeties getting fooled by the quarterback. It was 90 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 7: corners not getting some depth there. Obviously, the level play 91 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 7: is gonna drop when you don't have your ones in, 92 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 7: but for the most part, it was like, if you 93 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 7: just get to the spot you're supposed to be, you 94 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 7: might be able to make a play. So a lot 95 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 7: of mental errors, so we'll see how they correct it. Yeah, 96 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 7: and I think they can correct it on the past 97 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 7: game isn't as potent as it was last week. 98 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 8: With Baker Mayfield. 99 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence is a good ballplayer, but he's no Baker Mayfield. 100 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 7: And it's funny that we're saying that the way that 101 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 7: we thought about our the league about Mayfield maybe three 102 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 7: four years ago. 103 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 8: So no, it's all correctible things. 104 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 7: But you can get away with some mistakes when you're 105 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 7: just a superior ballplayer and athlete. So hopefully you get 106 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 7: some guys back and you can. 107 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Correct some wrong We're talking with d Anthony Bell coming 108 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: up a bit later in the huddles, so we'll be 109 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: able to ask him kind of what the chaos was 110 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: like with guys needed to sub in and out already 111 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: obviously with defense, but having to set out for injuries 112 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: so often. You've got Julian Love who didn't play, Witherspoon 113 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 3: who didn't play, DeMarcus Lawrence who didn't play, and all 114 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 3: three continue to be either non participants or limited in practice. 115 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: You got a couple other names still sitting out. Is 116 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: there a name in particular, let's say Rigoulan, who's inconcussion 117 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: protocol or Love who missed last week that you think, God, 118 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 3: if they could get him back, I'd feel so much better. 119 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, my answer is always Spoon, just because he is 120 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 6: such an X factor. I mean he is, he plays 121 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 6: the position really well, but then also he's versatile, he 122 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 6: can move him around, and. 123 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 4: Then nobody plays like him. 124 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 6: He plays at a just a different level and a 125 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 6: different speed. And you know, I think the other thing 126 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 6: about him, he's such a great role model because if 127 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 6: you see yourself out there and you're there's been a 128 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 6: couple of times, were a couple of times when I 129 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 6: played where I'm like, I'm not running as fast as 130 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 6: I possibly can there, I'm watching the game, as Chuck 131 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 6: Knox used to say, and you look at Spoon. 132 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: That never happens to him ever. 133 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 6: Energy that Yeah, so yeah him, I mean, I think 134 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 6: Julian Love is very close in that way, and that 135 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 6: there's a couple of times he'll make plays and I'm like, 136 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 6: oh is that Spoon Like, oh no, it's number twenty. 137 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 6: So yeah, he's both those guys are very important and 138 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 6: to the defense. And look, you know, I mean, maybe 139 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 6: it was foolish for me to expect that the guys 140 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 6: that are gonna, you know, fill in or are gonna, 141 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 6: you know, pick up. 142 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: Right where those two guys left off. 143 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 6: But at a certain point, you know, it's it's about talent, 144 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 6: and you know they they just didn't didn't step up in. 145 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 4: That in that moment. 146 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: Have you guys ever had a game, either in college 147 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 3: or in the pros where, uh, let's say one side 148 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: of the ball, maybe a position group had a horrible day, 149 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: and what are those meetings like that week, and kind 150 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: of what do you feel about yourself that week? I 151 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: would imagine the defensive the defense as a whole, but 152 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: certainly some position groups are having some tough meetings. 153 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 7: You really just to be concerned about yourself, honestly. I 154 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 7: mean when you do me, you meet as a group 155 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 7: and maybe you're addressed the office and addressed defense, but 156 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 7: then you separate and it's like, all right, I hope 157 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 7: those guys figure some stuff out because you know, they 158 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 7: have to do their job, and me, personally, I just 159 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 7: focused on the offense. 160 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 8: During the game is where it's kind of glaring. You're like, 161 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 8: all right, well we're gonna have to pick up some slack. 162 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, But during the week, it's like you know you 163 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 7: you do, you will do me and uh and we'll 164 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 7: figure it out. 165 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: Date what about you? 166 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know about you, bump. I was always 167 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 6: a guy that thought I was going to get cut 168 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 6: every day, every. 169 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 3: Day, and every day every day, so it would be 170 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: a bad game and you're going home just man, exactly, 171 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 3: it's going to be tough. 172 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 6: That's why I used to and back in the day, 173 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 6: it was a VHS tape that I would use. I 174 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 6: would record, first of all, Almost Live, which was a 175 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 6: fantastic show here in Seattle. It was like Saturday Night 176 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 6: Live Local and yeah, they had like Build and I 177 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 6: the science guy and everything. 178 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: So I'd tape that. 179 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 6: I would tape Saturday Night Live and then I would 180 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 6: tape the game, and no matter what time I got home, 181 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 6: I would watch the game first. 182 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, fork, so I know what to expect when I 183 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: go in. 184 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 6: And some of the you know nights that I slept 185 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 6: maybe three or four hours, is when I watched myself 186 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 6: and go, oh, that's bad. 187 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 4: That's going to be trouble. That's not going to be good. 188 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: But it feels like even good phase it. Excuse me, 189 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 3: even good players will have horrible games. We all know 190 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: that to be true. But here's where I'm stuck when 191 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: it comes to this defense. Guys, this is a defense 192 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: under Mike McDonald that particularly in the second half of 193 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: last year, but over the course of his time here 194 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: has shown nothing but improvement and nothing but consistency. It's 195 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: hard for me to be overly concerned, I guess until 196 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 3: I see them struggle more. What about you? 197 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think Mike is much more of 198 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 6: like a disciplinarian than than we think he is. I mean, 199 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 6: I'm sure that there were some guys that got lit 200 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: up a little bit, and I'm not talking about necessarily 201 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 6: screaming and swiring and things like that, but just like, hey, 202 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 6: this is we have to get this done, you know. 203 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: And I think he's he's kind of old school that way. 204 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm sure that you know, that's quite sure 205 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 6: that that's not the way he wants his defense operating. 206 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 6: And you know, again, just a lot of like just 207 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 6: fundamental mistakes, miss tackles, you know. So yeah, I mean 208 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 6: that was that was something that I mean, look, the 209 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 6: offense entirely did their job and provided you an opportunity. 210 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 6: You score thirty five points, man, You should you should 211 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 6: yet in that game. 212 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: Bob, I'm guessing your concern level is similar where you're like, 213 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: I didn't like what I was seeing, But they've got 214 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: some good guys. 215 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, because when you watch film, you see you're a 216 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 7: step away from making a play, or you're one player 217 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 7: doing not being assigning friendly away from making that play. 218 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 8: It's not like they're so far off. 219 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 7: And then you take into account just you know how 220 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 7: you're playing with a couple of backups. You know, there's 221 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 7: no disrespect to those guys. I was a backup. I 222 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 7: get it, but the flow it's a bit different. So 223 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 7: going back to a question you had a couple questions ago, 224 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 7: Julian Love, I feel like I need to see the most. Yeah, 225 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 7: because he has the panoramic view of everything that's going on. 226 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 7: He makes sure everyone's lined up correctly, and he is 227 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 7: a safety net and that safety net has some holes 228 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 7: in it. 229 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: Last week, all right, we're gonna be joined by d 230 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 3: Anthony Bell coming up a bit later this hour, so 231 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 3: we'll ask him kind of take us inside that day, 232 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 3: Like I'm sure it wasn't easy, you know, teammates are 233 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: getting hurt, and then kind of like what's the plan 234 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: heading into week six against Jacksonville. Before that, though, let's 235 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: get back to the fun part of the day, I 236 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 3: would say, which was the offensive performance in Sam Darnold. 237 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: Charles Cross joins us next, back. 238 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: To the huddle only on the home of the Seahawks. 239 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: Sports Charles Cross is going to be joining us in 240 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: just a couple of minutes here. Let's head back to 241 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: Seattle's offense. Thirty five points scored against Tampa Bay. What 242 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 3: kind of performance to you? I don't know. If they're 243 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 3: scoring thirty five against Jacksonville over thirty a game is 244 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: pretty tough to do, But what kind of performance to you, David? 245 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: Week six is building on Week five? 246 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 247 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 6: I mean, I think if they can continue to get 248 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 6: the run game going, that always travels. 249 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 4: And that's what we talk about at the end of the. 250 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,599 Speaker 6: The end of the season, is that, you know, the 251 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 6: two stats that you want to have going into the 252 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 6: playoffs is the run game and also takeaways. 253 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: Giveaways. You know, the turnover ratio. 254 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 6: Seahawks are minus one right now, so they really got 255 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 6: to protect the ball and a lot of that's going 256 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 6: to fall on Charles Cross making sure that Sam Darnold 257 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 6: stays clean. 258 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: Bum What about you? You like what you saw from 259 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: the run. You had been for a couple of weeks 260 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: going like, hey, here are the areas where I'm happy 261 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 3: with it, but like, you know, here's where the run 262 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: game could take a step. 263 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, they're they're getting there. 264 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 9: Man. 265 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 7: It's it's so tough. I'm gonna ask Charles about this. 266 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 7: The angles of the wide zone. It's just hard, man, 267 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 7: because the backers see the wide zone and they're flowing. 268 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 7: They're getting there fast, and you kind of got to 269 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 7: take them where they want to go. Is what my 270 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 7: coach used to tell me, is all right, well, if 271 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 7: he's flowing over the top, he wants to go there. 272 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 8: Taking where he. 273 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 7: Wants to go make the running back uh kind of 274 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 7: figured out on his own. So yeah, you see it, 275 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 7: But there's a there's a timing of that whole thing's happening. 276 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: What makes the angles tougher than say, the way they 277 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: ran the ball last year. 278 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 7: Well, like an inside zone and gap scheme is more 279 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 7: of like a downhill, you know, Like, so you got 280 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 7: you gotta think that the backers are reacting to what 281 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 7: they're seeing the running back do. So the running back 282 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 7: is flying to the right side right now that that 283 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 7: backer who's sitting at four and a half five yards 284 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 7: is now four and a half five yards. 285 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 8: Now to the right end of the four and a 286 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 8: half five yards. 287 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 7: You got to get there when you're downhill, they're getting 288 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 7: downhill as well, so it's easy to get. 289 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 8: Body on a body. 290 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 7: So it's and I'm sitting next to a linebackers you 291 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 7: probably ask him, Yeah, I. 292 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 3: Would say if I saw you nodding with that one, 293 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: what are you seeing from them there? 294 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you see a couple of times where 295 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 6: it amost looks like the guard and the tackle are 296 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 6: like sprinting to the sidelines. And so what it does 297 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 6: is number one, if you can be effective with the run, 298 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 6: the play action can be like devastating because you know, 299 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 6: all of a sudden he boots out, it goes the 300 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 6: other way, and like you're trying to get out there 301 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 6: and in a position because what happens is you you 302 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 6: know you have a B gap. Well, the B gap 303 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 6: isn't just right between the guard and the tackle. It moves, 304 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 6: it goes outside and so now all of a sudden 305 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 6: you're going laterally and then you know that doesn't put 306 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 6: you in a good position to You've got to kind 307 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 6: of attack, attack that gap and you know, so, yeah, 308 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 6: it just makes it a lot harder on linebackers when 309 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 6: they can execute it. And when you start to get 310 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 6: some runs that you know, work on the outside, out 311 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 6: on the edge, all of a sudden, you know you're 312 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 6: going to start flying out there. And that's when play 313 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 6: action bootleg, that kind of thing can really really be tough, 314 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 6: really be difficult. So they just have to perfect that, 315 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 6: try to get that going. But yeah, I mean, you've 316 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 6: got to be able to run if you're an offensive 317 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 6: lineman in this But. 318 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: We've seen Jackson, Smith and jig but get off to 319 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: a hotter start than I can remember for maybe any 320 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 3: Seahawks receiver that I've watched. In fact, I went back 321 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: to and I looked at DK Metcalf through the first 322 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: five weeks. Now, to DK's credit, not only does he 323 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 3: have three years with Seattle of over one thousand yards, 324 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: but he has the franchise record for single season receiving 325 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: yards with I think thirteen oh three or something around there. 326 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: So you got to surpass DK before you can brag 327 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 3: too much. That being said, Jackson has more yards through 328 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 3: five weeks than any one of DK seasons. He's just 329 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: been electric. 330 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's going to say he's making big play after 331 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 7: big play, and you know that's what we expect out 332 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 7: of him. 333 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: Now exactly offensive lineman left tackle Charles Cross joining us 334 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: right now. Charles, Before we get to football, I have 335 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: to ask you about Japan. I was looking at your 336 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: Instagram account.

So 681 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 14: that's usually my after game what I do for But 682 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 14: other than that, I just do cold tub, ice tub 683 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 14: ebs and salt baths. I definitely do those a lot, 684 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 14: and that's mainly like my main routine. 685 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 8: You know. 686 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 6: When I listened to these guys, I'm like, I was 687 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 6: doing things.

So, you know, 730 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 16: we're excited about this challenge again. I feel like I 731 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 16: say it every week now with the defenses that we're facing, 732 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 16: but just another great defense that presents a lot of 733 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 16: different problems and pressures, coverages, and you know, the guys 734 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 16: that they have tying it all together. So yeah, got 735 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 16: a great challenge in front of us, and we're excited 736 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 16: about the opportunity. 737 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 4: You guys are going to. 738 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 12: Focus on ball security every week, but when you're facing 739 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 12: a team that's taking them away like they are, is 740 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 12: there any added empisode or do you feel like you're 741 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 12: kind of doing everything you need to every week anyway? 742 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 16: No, we're always you know, we're always focused on ball security, myself, 743 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 16: protecting the football, whether it's in the pocket, being smart 744 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 16: outside the pocket, and just taking care of the football 745 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 16: in general. For myself, but also everyone has an offense, 746 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 16: you know, even kick return, like everybody just forcing themselves 747 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 16: to have really good ball security, not just this week 748 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 16: but every single week. But obviously they do a great 749 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 16: job of taking the ball away and we know that. 750 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 12: I mean, fourteen takeaways pretty crazy number. 751 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 17: What are they doing? 752 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean they do a great job when when 753 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 16: ball carriers are out in space of punching the ball out, 754 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 16: you know, just attacking the football. You know, you see 755 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 16: them all over the tape just again like tying, tying 756 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 16: their pressures and with their coverages understanding you know where 757 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 16: you know, passes are where they're more vulnerable as a 758 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 16: defense with their pressures, and I feel like their dbs 759 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 16: and linebackers do a really good job of you know 760 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 16: getting into you know, getting into those certain spaces. And 761 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 16: so they've been doing a really good job, like you said, 762 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 16: taking the ball away, and uh, we're just going to 763 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 16: continue to you know, do our part to to limit 764 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 16: those turnovers. Certainly shows up in the stats, but when 765 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 16: you watch film, how does. 766 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: He show up on tape? 767 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, he's uh, he flies around. You know, he's a 768 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 16: really good player. Both their backers are really good, you know, 769 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 16: we got our hands full there. But again, they do 770 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 16: a really good job and you know, making everything look 771 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 16: the same, especially in their third down packages. 772 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 18: You get a chance to watch opponent you're about to 773 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 18: face what you did the other day. 774 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 17: How do you watch the game off TV? 775 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 4: What what are you looking for? 776 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, it's a great question, right because you can't really 777 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 16: see the back end of it. Uh you can't see 778 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 16: you know, what's going on back there, but just uh, 779 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 16: just how hard they play. I mean you can feel it, 780 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 16: you know, come off the screen that way. And then 781 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 16: you know, obviously you can tell they're really well coached, 782 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 16: not only as a team, but you know, on their 783 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 16: defense as well, like I said, kind of you know, 784 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 16: forcing the issue in terms of trying to take the 785 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 16: ball away and just being being really disciplined in other 786 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 16: areas of their game as well. 787 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 17: What was your thoughts seeing that touchdown from Trevor. 788 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 8: At the end? 789 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. 790 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 16: Yeah, well I was, you know, just watching it. I 791 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 16: was thinking, get up and throw the ball away. But man, 792 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 16: he did a great job of being able to get 793 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 16: up and kind of scramble and find his way into 794 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 16: the end zone. 795 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 3: So we've seen you make some pretty impressive plays under pressure. 796 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 15: Including last week. 797 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 8: What did you have to learn about feeling the pressure 798 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 8: and when to escape. 799 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: And when to throw the ball away? 800 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 11: Yeah? 801 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 16: I think, you know, that's that's kind of the dichotomy 802 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,959 Speaker 16: I guess of playing the quarterback position is like when 803 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 16: you when you have an opportunity to scramble and make 804 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 16: a play, you know, you don't always have to make 805 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 16: a play. You know, sometimes it's smarter, especially on first 806 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 16: and second down, to to just throw the ball away 807 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 16: and let our team, you know, fight another down. And 808 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 16: I think that's really important to understand, and so I'm 809 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 16: always kind of fighting that the yours to try to 810 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 16: go make a play, but also you know, letting our 811 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 16: football team, you know, get to the next down without 812 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 16: hurting ourselves. 813 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 17: Are toward the top of the league. 814 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 15: And red zone efficiency, converting red zone chances to touchdowns. 815 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 17: What's been working for you guys in the red zone? 816 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think just execution. 817 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 16: I know that's very vague, maybe not the answer you 818 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 16: wanted to hear, but I feel like all eleven guys 819 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 16: just doing their job on that play, and I feel 820 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 16: like we're very glued in. I feel like the coaches 821 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 16: are doing a great job of you know, just installing 822 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 16: and understand, you know, allowing us to understand the why 823 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 16: behind every single play and what defenses were attacking. So 824 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 16: I feel like not only all the players, but all 825 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 16: the coaches as well are doing a great job with that. 826 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 19: I think when you first got introduced as the QB here, 827 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 19: you talked about those final two games in Minnesota, the. 828 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 4: Rams and then the Lions. 829 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 19: Lions, Yeah, kind of how you what you learned about 830 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 19: you know, yourself, I guess your game in those games. 831 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 19: Do you learn anything from the Jacksonville game last year 832 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 19: as well? 833 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 16: Yeah, for sure, I appreciate you bringing it up. No, No, 834 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 16: that was a that was a tough game for sure. Again, 835 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 16: I think just for me, just being disciplined, you know, 836 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 16: I think that's what it comes down to. Being disciplined 837 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 16: in my reads, understanding what coverages they're running, what they're 838 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 16: trying to take away, and you know, understanding, you know, 839 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 16: if one and two aren't there, just you know, being 840 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 16: quick to get the ball down or get to my 841 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 16: third third progression. 842 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 19: How different is this defense from last year's with the 843 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 19: new staff. 844 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,280 Speaker 16: Yeah, they do some different things, you know, some similar 845 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 16: things as well. I mean it's uh, you know, all 846 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 16: defenses are kind of not all of them are running 847 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 16: similar things, but they're they're doing a lot of the 848 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 16: same things. And I think just what makes us defense 849 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 16: unique is you know, their ability to to be able 850 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 16: to get to their pressures not only on third down, 851 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 16: but in first and second down as well. So, uh, 852 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 16: we just got to be prepared and and that's what 853 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 16: days like today are for. 854 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 13: I know we ask you about quitting about Jackson every week, 855 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 13: but given that you guys only played five games together, 856 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 13: how much how much more can your relationship on the 857 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 13: field grow, you know, and how much more can you guys. 858 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 16: Kind of get to you Oh, yeah, it can. You know, 859 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 16: it's it's always growing, you know, our relationship to be 860 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 16: able to you know, play our best football. It's always 861 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 16: you know, just the conversations that we just had, you know, 862 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 16: at our walkthrough. You know, those conversations go a long way. 863 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 16: They continue to help us out there on the field, 864 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 16: and we're going to continue to grow as a you know, 865 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 16: as a connection. 866 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 15: You uh, you know got thrown into the starting position 867 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 15: for the Bankings last year, had a lot of quick success. 868 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 17: Clint Kubiak, you know, had a lot of quick success 869 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 17: in New Orleans last year. 870 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 15: You guys are now having quick success together here. You know, 871 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 15: a lot of teams take a while to get to that. 872 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 15: Why why do you guys think you guys have clicked 873 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:24,879 Speaker 15: so soon? 874 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 16: I think it's a lot of hard work that's put 875 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 16: into the off season, not just by us, but everybody 876 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 16: you know in this building, defense included, you know, the 877 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 16: guys on offense, the offensive line, tight ends, running backs, receivers. 878 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 16: I can go down the down the list, the coaches 879 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 16: as well. Like you know, there was a sense of 880 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 16: urgency when we got here in March and April to 881 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 16: be able to just put our best foot forward and 882 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 16: do what's best for the team. And so when you 883 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 16: don't have any ego involved in anything and you can 884 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 16: just attack every single day and be honest with each other, 885 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 16: and you know, have that open conversation, open dialogue about 886 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,479 Speaker 16: you know, what works, what maybe we can do better. 887 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 16: You know, things kind of go a long way and 888 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 16: they and they move fast. And I think just that 889 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 16: sense of urgency that we had early in the in 890 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 16: the offseason helped us get off to the start. And 891 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 16: we just got to keep it rolling by taking it 892 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 16: one day at a time, Sam. 893 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 9: How's your run game? 894 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 17: You average and have one hundred and thirteen yell into 895 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 17: a game. How's that helping with the overall offense? 896 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think that's that's a huge key to the 897 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 16: offense is being able to get the run game going, 898 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 16: you know, and continuing to push it, you know, even 899 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 16: late late in the game as well. So, yeah, having 900 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 16: a great run game is always going to you know, 901 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 16: help our success as an offense. And uh, you know, 902 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 16: we're we're just going to continue to work on that 903 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 16: and do what we can days like today to continue 904 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 16: to get better at that. 905 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 12: You're one of the least sacked quarterbacks in the NFL 906 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 12: this year in no sacks last week. What can you 907 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 12: say about the guys up front what they're doing. 908 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 16: Past protection with Yeah, I think you know, I said 909 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 16: it after the game, but or maybe last week in 910 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 16: the presser, but just their communication that they've been having 911 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 16: up front and to be able to hear that as 912 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 16: a quarterback, it's very comforting, you know. And again, there's 913 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 16: there's kinks that we're going to work through every single week, 914 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 16: but to be able to work through those kings during 915 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 16: the week and not on Sunday I think that's the 916 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 16: key to be able to see every single look with 917 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 16: every single protection that we have and be able to 918 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 16: you know, figure out kind of the issues and the 919 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 16: problems that we might have with the defense that we're playing. 920 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 16: So you know, we we go through all that with 921 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 16: a fine tooth comb and we're just going to continue 922 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 16: to do that as an offense. And and just the 923 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 16: way that those guys have, you know, their relationship I 924 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,839 Speaker 16: think with with one another is really the key thing 925 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 16: that I see with everything is just those guys in 926 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 16: that room are so close and the closer that they get, 927 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 16: the better that they're going to continue to play. 928 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 15: Any games you guys lost had there was a couple turnovers, 929 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 15: and there's been a turnover at least one in every game. 930 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 17: How do you guys get to zero in that in that? 931 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 16: Yeah, I think, uh, you know, it's it's everybody you know, 932 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 16: straining to finish. I think that's that's the biggest thing. 933 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,399 Speaker 4: I think. 934 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 16: The the you know, takeaways that you on tape, especially 935 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 16: with this team that we're playing, you know, they're they're 936 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 16: teams going forward with the football and maybe guys in 937 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,479 Speaker 16: the back end or linemen that are you know, maybe 938 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 16: trailing the play aren't necessarily running as hard because they 939 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 16: think the play is over. 940 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 4: The guy's just gonna go down. 941 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 16: But sometimes when you're trailing, you know, myself included, if 942 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 16: I hand the ball off and I see Ken cut 943 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 16: it back, I might be a little you know, I 944 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 16: might be eager to kind of. 945 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 4: Follow him just in case. 946 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 16: So you know, it's just little effort every now and then, 947 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 16: and and straining every single play. I think we'll we'll, uh, 948 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 16: you know, help that number get to zero. 949 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 17: A has already got as many touchdowns this year as 950 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 17: he had all of last season. 951 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 4: What is it about him being an option for you, 952 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 4: Daniel the goal line that that brings and added. 953 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 8: Something to the offense for you get Yeah, it has 954 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:45,479 Speaker 8: been great. 955 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 16: I mean, obviously there's there's a lot of focus on 956 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 16: you know, guys like Jack's coop Tory, and then you 957 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 16: have a Ja kind of in there with the line 958 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 16: and you know, certain guys guarding him. It's a He's 959 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 16: a great weapon to have as a quarter back. And 960 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 16: I think at the end of the day, like the 961 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 16: balls just finding him. You know, I'm gonna go through 962 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 16: my progressions and do what I can to try to 963 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 16: get the ball at the end zone no matter what, 964 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 16: and the ball's finding him right now. 965 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 19: On the on the play, did you feel like you 966 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 19: had a free play on Sunday on which one. 967 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 17: Roll and left there was a hole? I think there 968 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 17: was some flag that you. 969 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 4: Play a free play. No, no, I was. 970 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 16: I was keen to that just because I saw the 971 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,280 Speaker 16: I just saw the safety come down and cut the crosser, 972 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 16: so I knew there was no one in the back end, 973 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 16: so I thought. I knew Rieke was one on one, 974 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 16: so I, you know, he makes hundreds of plays out 975 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 16: here all the time. He made him a ton in 976 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 16: the preseason, so I figured, give Riek a shot, and 977 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 16: you know, he made a play. 978 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 4: It's awesome to see. 979 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 3: Let's hear from receiver Jackson Smith and Jigbud JS and 980 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 3: speaks with reporters live from Seahawks head quarters. 981 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: Next, this is the huddle, the handoff, inside the He's 982 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: Gonna Go Touchdowns exclusively on Seattle Sports on sevent ten, 983 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: Seattle Sports on YouTube and the Seattle Sports App with 984 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: hosts Michael Bumpus, Stacey Rosk. 985 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 2: And Deeve White.

So 1069 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 20: nothing that really has changed from that aspect. I think 1070 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 20: just the love for the game has pushed me and excelled, 1071 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 20: excelled me to you know, wanting wanting to be great 1072 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 20: every single day. 1073 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 12: When Mike was asked about your deep catching ability to 1074 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 12: have been a deep passing or deep reception of every game, 1075 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 12: you mentioned your. 1076 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 11: Ball tracking, Like how you how well you talked about 1077 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 11: in the air. 1078 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 12: Is that something you've just sort of innately always had 1079 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 12: or it come like, I guess where's that come from? 1080 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 17: As another sports? 1081 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 5: Is it? 1082 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1083 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 4: I think naturally. 1084 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 20: I think even like playing baseball when I was a 1085 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 20: younger kid, like I was a shortstop and they would 1086 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 20: hit the ball kind of short center field and I 1087 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 20: would go and catch it and run into people like 1088 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 20: that was just kind of my thing, just go get 1089 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 20: the ball. And I've always been a wide receiver ever since, 1090 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 20: you know, I was three years old. You know, they 1091 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 20: would send me on a corner round and the balls 1092 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 20: up in the air for a long time.

Cooper obviously does as well. How much 1176 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,240 Speaker 15: time do you guys spend in the receiver room actually 1177 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 15: watching film of your run blocking versus your your route running. 1178 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 20: A lot a lot, there's a time blocked off to 1179 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 20: where you know we're going over the run plays and 1180 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 20: coach Frisman Jackson made a little cut up for us 1181 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 20: each week to make sure you know we're on top 1182 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 20: of it because it is very important, you know, if 1183 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 20: we want to be successful, and we all know that, 1184 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 20: and that's something that. 1185 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 4: We want to be great at. 1186 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 20: You know, we want to be a great overall sound 1187 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 20: receiver room and blocking is a part of that. So 1188 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 20: we take time, you know, to make sure our keys 1189 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 20: are right and and to know what what it's going 1190 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 20: to look like and then just execute from there. 1191 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 19: When you're in with Richison, he actually if you had 1192 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 19: any goals. Statistically, I would imagine he's asking you didn't 1193 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 19: want to share. 1194 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,479 Speaker 11: Does anyone know those goals? 1195 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 4: Like anyone? 1196 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 20: I don't think so. 1197 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1198 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 17: The reason you keep those to yourself. 1199 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's just personal for me, you know, honestly, And 1200 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,320 Speaker 20: you know, I don't want to be called crazy or anything. 1201 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 19: Do you like do you have Are they just known 1202 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 19: that you got them in a note? 1203 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 8: Tap on your phonus? 1204 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 9: No? 1205 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 20: No, I wrote them down a long time ago. And yeah, 1206 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 20: I wrote them down a long time ago, and you know, 1207 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 20: we'll see what happens, you know. Like I always say, 1208 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 20: I think my main goal is just helping his team 1209 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,440 Speaker 20: and you know, get into a playoffs, helping us get 1210 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 20: a ring, and I feel like all the personal goals 1211 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 20: just fall in after that. It always has for me. 1212 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 20: Once I put my mindset, you know, with the team 1213 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 20: goals and and I just leave it at that. 1214 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 17: Have you achieved a couple of them already? 1215 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 16: No? 1216 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,839 Speaker 3: Coming up next, Voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel joins us, 1217 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 3: this is the Huddle. 1218 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 2: Back to the Huddle only on the home of the Seahawks, 1219 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 2: Seattle Sports. 1220 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 3: The Voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel joins us.

How are you guys good. 1223 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to spend too much time looking back 1224 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,279 Speaker 3: at that game against Tampa Bay, especially given that it 1225 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 3: was a loss, but I will say I did not 1226 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 3: expect it to be a shootout. How surprised were you? 1227 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 3: Especially calling that second half? 1228 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 18: Oh that's Dave. I was probably the most surprised person 1229 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 18: on the plane. It was one of our keys to 1230 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 18: the game. Low scoring, defensive game, two really good defenses, 1231 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 18: and we have a game. I mean that just goes 1232 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 18: to show you I have no earthly idea what I'm 1233 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 18: ever talking about. 1234 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 4: Boy, you screwed that one up. 1235 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 6: Geez well, maybe if you had somebody, a radio partner 1236 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,359 Speaker 6: to help you out, it would be it'd be better. 1237 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 4: But hey, that was kind of a frustrating one, Rabes. 1238 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 6: And it seemed like, you know, we we talked about 1239 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 6: going in the keys to the game where you know, 1240 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,800 Speaker 6: one of them was you got to win the battle 1241 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 6: of the backups, and it just seemed like they were 1242 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,000 Speaker 6: a lot of I mean, I thought the one I 1243 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 6: guess encouraging part of it is I felt like those 1244 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 6: were kind of an easy fix. I mean, you had 1245 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,360 Speaker 6: guys not holding their their leverage on the edge, you 1246 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 6: had missed tackles, and it seemed like things like that, 1247 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 6: I think that are that was It was very frustrating, 1248 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 6: But it's also something that I feel like they can fix. 1249 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 4: I don't want to say easily, but it can be done. 1250 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1251 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 18: And and it also shows you that an anybody's defense, 1252 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 18: any scheme, and I think everybody is an agreement that 1253 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 18: Mike McDonald knows his defense, and he knows how to 1254 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 18: scheme things, and he knows how to get the most 1255 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 18: out of his players. But the scheme is only as 1256 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 18: good as every single guy doing his job on any 1257 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 18: particular play. And how many times did we say during 1258 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 18: the course of the game, Well, if he'd taken just 1259 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 18: a little bit better angle at that, or if he'd 1260 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 18: been able to contain, or if he had dropped deep 1261 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 18: third instead of following that receiver into the flat like 1262 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 18: his eyes were leading into there's all those things are fixable. 1263 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 18: But it's just a matter of too when you sometimes 1264 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 18: you get some new guys in there that they just 1265 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 18: don't quite know how the guy around them is going 1266 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 18: to react. And that's that's a really difficult a difficult 1267 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,720 Speaker 18: thing to overcome. But I have no doubt that literally 1268 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 18: before Sunday night was over, Mike and his coaches had 1269 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 18: already looked at all the tape and had decided to 1270 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 18: hear the things that we need to do. And you know, 1271 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 18: now we're going to go across country and play Jackville 1272 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 18: down there. They've got a pretty good team. You know, 1273 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 18: they're four and one. I wouldn't be surprised if, in fact, 1274 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 18: some of the young guys or the reserves still have 1275 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 18: to keep playing that we don't see maybe a little 1276 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 18: bit of a contraction on how much you're asking. 1277 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 3: Them to do. 1278 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 18: Let's simplify a little and let's make sure we do it. 1279 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,200 Speaker 7: All right, Raves, I was telling maybe it was the 1280 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,919 Speaker 7: postgame show after you left. I was telling the guys, 1281 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 7: remember when ESPN had Instant Classics, right, they would they 1282 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,960 Speaker 7: would dub a a game of Instant Classic. 1283 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 8: That's what I think that was last week, just the 1284 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 8: back and forth. 1285 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 7: But you know, receiver to receiver, man, when's the last 1286 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,320 Speaker 7: time you've seen two receivers go out it like that 1287 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 7: with a Mecca and Jason Wow, And and you know, talk. 1288 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 18: About the incredible closeness these two guys, both Ohio State receivers. 1289 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 18: I mean, they kind of look a little bit alike 1290 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 18: out there on the field. It's just phenomenal. Two things 1291 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 18: jumped out at me that A and I can say 1292 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 18: this to somebody who played wide receiver like you did 1293 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 18: and I did. That they're playing a different game than 1294 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 18: I ever played. I mean, they're just phenomenal athletes. The 1295 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:11,000 Speaker 18: things they can do, and just as important, the training, 1296 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 18: the background that they have, the pro style type offenses 1297 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,640 Speaker 18: that they played in lends itself to having these guys 1298 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 18: ready to play in the National Football League, and then 1299 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,800 Speaker 18: on top of that, they're just wildly skilled athletic players. 1300 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,600 Speaker 18: For me, it was fun to watch. Unfortunately, it wasn't 1301 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 18: fun watching Iguca, you know, run right through the middle 1302 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 18: of the defense and may catch after catch. That sort 1303 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,800 Speaker 18: of gets you down a little bit, but it was 1304 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 18: still quite a display of great skill. And then of 1305 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 18: course you had to have your quarterbacks on target throwing 1306 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 18: the football, and both those guys did a great job. 1307 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of one of those guys, Sam Darnold, he's been 1308 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 3: statistically better here than he was in Minnesota, which by 1309 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 3: no means came in with low expectations, but I think, 1310 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 3: I thought, Oh, I hope he can be as good 1311 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,640 Speaker 3: and instead what you're seeing is a more efficient start 1312 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,320 Speaker 3: for him. Does that pass the eye test to you? 1313 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 3: I mean, when you're watching these games, calling these games, 1314 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:05,440 Speaker 3: what have you seen from him? 1315 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 18: Exactly what you're saying? It passes the eye test, I think. 1316 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 18: And it started and he would tell you from the 1317 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 18: first day that he signed his free agent contract with 1318 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 18: John Schneider and Company, and he came into town and 1319 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 18: immediately started working with offensive coordinator, quarterback coach. What do 1320 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 18: I have to learn? Let's get it all down long 1321 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,640 Speaker 18: before we ever get to even training camps. So he 1322 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 18: had such a great knowledge and a great grasp on 1323 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 18: this offense. Plus he'd run similar offenses in the two 1324 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 18: places he'd been prior to so was he was, I think, 1325 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,080 Speaker 18: so in tune with with what Mike McDonald and of 1326 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,359 Speaker 18: course Klink Kubiak the offensive coordinator, want to do. He's 1327 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,040 Speaker 18: just been remarkable. He's been so so effective, so on 1328 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 18: target a couple of interceptions and you know, I mean, 1329 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,239 Speaker 18: what are the odds that in the second to last 1330 00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 18: play of the game he's going to bounce a He's 1331 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 18: gonna get bumped and the ball is gonna bounce off 1332 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 18: the defensive lineman's helmet and be intercepted by a diving 1333 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 18: linebacker who's fourteen years in the league. I mean, you 1334 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,400 Speaker 18: can't write that kind of stuff. So, you know, sometimes 1335 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,399 Speaker 18: you just have bad lucks. But boil boy, he sure 1336 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 18: has made virtually every play he's had to make. 1337 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 6: I'm gonna put this out there for the Texters eight 1338 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 6: sixty six nine seven nine three seven seven six. 1339 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 4: Do you think I could cover Steve Rabel right now? 1340 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 3: I'll let you know what they say. 1341 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:29,440 Speaker 4: What do you say, Rabel? 1342 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 5: I'd say back in the day, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, 1343 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:34,439 Speaker 5: we're talking. 1344 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 2: We're now. 1345 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 18: Oh crap, right now. I mean I need to have 1346 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 18: my walker, isn't right there beside the broadcast booth. I mean, 1347 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 18: I'm in trump. You weren't fast before, you're really not fast? 1348 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:47,359 Speaker 5: Now? 1349 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,319 Speaker 8: Race that I got that four to three? 1350 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 4: Oh man, here we go. 1351 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, that was What do you see out 1352 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 6: of What do you see out of Jacksonville Ribs? I mean, 1353 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,319 Speaker 6: it's interesting how much they take the ball away. I mean, 1354 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 6: it's crazy, but they're number one in the NFL. But yeah, 1355 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 6: just looking at that team, I mean they go on 1356 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 6: the road and beat San Francisco and then they take 1357 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 6: the Chiefs down on Monday night. 1358 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,440 Speaker 18: Yeah, they're head and shoulders above where they were. And 1359 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 18: again even though yes, Trevor Lawrence is playing pretty well. 1360 00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 18: They got a really good running game at MS, got 1361 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 18: almost four hundred and fifty yards rushing, and they passed 1362 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 18: the ball well. Their defense has been playing lights out, 1363 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 18: as you said. They've got fourteen takeaways. That's just their 1364 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 18: number one in the league, as you said. And so 1365 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 18: those are the kinds of statistics when you're in a 1366 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 18: close game that decides games. We just had one happen 1367 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 18: this last Sunday. We had one happened the first Sunday 1368 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 18: of the season. One takeaway at the end of the 1369 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 18: game makes the difference. So the Jags are doing a 1370 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 18: terrific job that way. And I kind of think they're 1371 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 18: also a team a lot like Tampa Bay. They want 1372 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 18: to play tough defense. Of their sound in their defense, 1373 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 18: they're aggressive, but they also want to they want to 1374 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,640 Speaker 18: run the ball. They got a quarterback who can run 1375 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 18: it differently than the last two quarterbacks we've seen. This 1376 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,560 Speaker 18: guy's a he's a big, strong guy. This guy is 1377 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:22,600 Speaker 18: six to six pounds, So they're they're they're an all 1378 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 18: around good football team. I'm hoping they're going to be 1379 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 18: tired after Monday night, but my guess is they're just 1380 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 18: going to be even more excited because they beat the 1381 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 18: you know, defending AFC champs. But you know, listen, we've 1382 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 18: got we've got a really good team too, and we're 1383 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 18: two plays away from being undefeated. You know, if if 1384 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 18: every day was whatever, the Christmas thing is anyhow, something 1385 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 18: and nuts, we're ifs and butts, I don't know whatever. 1386 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,920 Speaker 18: I remember now, I've had too much calls. 1387 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 3: Thank you, Matt, I say we cut that final answer 1388 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 3: from from Rapes and just hang out to that. When 1389 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 3: he was the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, Thanks, ray. 1390 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 18: Ra, Yes, yeh if every day, yes, every day be Christmas. 1391 00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 18: I'll work on that. 1392 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1393 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 4: I want that's done by the weekend so you can 1394 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 4: use it in the broadcast. 1395 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 18: Okay, gotcha. 1396 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 3: Thanks. I think we've already got what we're going to 1397 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 3: use in the broadcast. And that's what he said to 1398 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 3: wrap it up, which was, if any day was whatever? 1399 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 3: Who cares? John Boyle joining us next? 1400 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,080 Speaker 2: This This is the huddle every Thursday from noon to 1401 00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 2: two on Seattle Sports. 1402 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,680 Speaker 3: Let's take a step over enemy lines and learn a 1403 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,240 Speaker 3: bit more about this week's opponent. Jack's team reporter JP 1404 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 3: Shadwick joining us right now. 1405 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 11: Jp. 1406 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,000 Speaker 3: If I were to tell you the Jags would start 1407 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 3: the season four and one and we were back in August, 1408 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 3: what would you assume happened? And is that the reason 1409 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 3: they're for and one right now? 1410 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,240 Speaker 4: Well, that's a great question. 1411 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 5: You know, you looked at the early part of the 1412 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 5: schedule and there were a lot of winning teams, a 1413 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 5: lot of playoff teams from the previous year, and there's 1414 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 5: a new regime here, so it's like, okay, what is 1415 00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 5: really going to happen if you can get out of 1416 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 5: this thing, you know, three and four going into the 1417 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 5: bye week, two whatever, You never know. But their defense 1418 01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 5: is played out of their minds right now, and that 1419 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 5: was really unexpected to do what they're doing at the 1420 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,439 Speaker 5: level they are. With taking the football away, that's really 1421 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,920 Speaker 5: changed the dynamic of everything. And the offense still is 1422 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,360 Speaker 5: trying to find its full footing this year, which we 1423 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 5: kind of thought was going to be the trend. You know, 1424 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 5: it might take a little bit to get going and 1425 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 5: they've run the ball well, and that combination defensive takeaway 1426 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 5: he's running the football has really carried this team. 1427 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 7: What is the deal with Devin Lloyd Man? I remember 1428 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 7: watching him at Utah. He has four interceptions, leads the league. 1429 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 7: I went down now I looked at all of his interceptions. 1430 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 7: It looks like just instincts. 1431 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 8: Man. 1432 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 7: He's dropping to where he's supposed to drop, and he 1433 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 7: has soft hands. How has he affected his defense? 1434 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,880 Speaker 5: I've been asking that same question about what is going 1435 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 5: on with Devin Wood for like three years here. He's 1436 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 5: not been playing well. I mean, he's been a liability 1437 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 5: actually in the previous regimes on defense here, and now 1438 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 5: he's in a situation this new scheme where he can 1439 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 5: play downhill like he's they're rushing him some, they're playing 1440 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 5: him closer. 1441 01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 4: To the line. 1442 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,160 Speaker 5: He can read and react and go fly around tackles 1443 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 5: for loss. Last year or two, he's chasing receivers twenty 1444 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 5: yards down the field. 1445 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:15,880 Speaker 4: That's bad for business. 1446 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 5: So now it's you know, in a certain situation like 1447 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 5: you saw against Kansas City on Monday, faking the blitz, 1448 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 5: stepping back. It's great film study. He's always been a 1449 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 5: smart guy. It's just, you know, he has limitations physically 1450 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 5: of what he can and can't cover in the pass game, 1451 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 5: and they're utilizing in the right way, and so it's 1452 01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 5: a good timing. It's the final year of his rookie deal. 1453 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 5: They did not take the fifth year option, so this 1454 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 5: is year four and he's going to get paid if 1455 01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 5: he keeps on this trend, for sure. 1456 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 3: Hey, JP, I knew plenty about Brian Thomas and obviously 1457 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 3: was really interested to see what Travis Hunter would look 1458 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 3: like on this team, particularly on offense. But man, a 1459 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,800 Speaker 3: tight end, Brenton Strange has really been a weapon there, 1460 01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 3: especially when it comes to picking up some first downs. 1461 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 3: Second on the team right now in receiving yards. How's 1462 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 3: the offense been utilizing him? 1463 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, Britain Strange has been really, really good, and it's 1464 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,440 Speaker 5: unfortunate that he came out of the game with a 1465 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 5: hip injury on Monday night, so I'm not sure if 1466 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 5: his availability We'll see as the week moves along. Here 1467 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 5: moving ahead, they've used three other tight ends as well, 1468 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 5: but none really have that explosive ability is Strange, and 1469 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,080 Speaker 5: he's kind of been the safety net for Trevor Lawrence 1470 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 5: when everything else down the field hasn't been there yet. 1471 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 5: Strange has been that guy he can rely on. And 1472 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 5: then he's really big in the in the running game 1473 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:34,160 Speaker 5: as well, lead blocking, pulling, everything that goes into that. 1474 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 5: So if he's unavailable, that's a big miss for the Jaguars. 1475 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,680 Speaker 5: And then for Brian Thomas Jr. You know, some prop 1476 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,000 Speaker 5: issues early in the season, but just maintaining the consistency 1477 01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 5: throwing the football to him and he had some big 1478 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 5: catches on Monday Night as well. And then Travis Hunter 1479 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 5: really I think broke out on Monday Night. You know, 1480 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 5: it was the longest seat I think he had played 1481 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball. He's been playing both 1482 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 5: sides all year, but that one down the field over 1483 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 5: two defenders. That's something that that's hard to teach. Not 1484 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 5: many people have that in the NFL. That's the first 1485 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 5: time we've seen that in that Jaguars uniform. 1486 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 7: What's the progression of Travis Hunter, Ben? You know, I 1487 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 7: look at his numbers pretty even when it comes to 1488 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,040 Speaker 7: offensive plays defensive plays. 1489 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 8: One game was kind of lopsided. 1490 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,240 Speaker 7: Have they figured out what side he's best at or 1491 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,080 Speaker 7: is this going to be something that they'll continue to 1492 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 7: do throughout the year and maybe next year. 1493 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just a continued progress with it. 1494 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,400 Speaker 5: I don't think there's any timetable, there's no rush, there's 1495 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 5: no rule book, you know, like it's whatever he's comfortable with, 1496 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 5: whatever the opponent shows you as well. I mean, they 1497 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 5: can change it week to week, Like if you're playing 1498 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 5: a run heavy team, he's probably not going to see 1499 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 5: a lot of them on defense, you know, like there's 1500 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 5: no need for him to go in there and try 1501 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 5: to fill run gaps, like that's the way he will 1502 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 5: because he he'll do whatever the coach tells him. But 1503 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 5: that's not ideal, right, So that's why I think you're 1504 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 5: seeing some fluctuation in the actual snap count some weeks 1505 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 5: because it just depends on the scheme and what they're 1506 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 5: going against. So I think he's more natural defender. Reid 1507 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 5: react the way they play zone a lot. He's a 1508 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 5: really good man corner too. But then on offense, Okay, 1509 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 5: there's so much going on in this offense pre snap 1510 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:10,320 Speaker 5: motions shifts, and I think he's really kind of only 1511 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 5: learned one of the positions on offense, so it's like, 1512 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 5: you know, we gotta be careful make sure he's lined 1513 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 5: up the right way, so I would say he's a 1514 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 5: little more ahead mentally on defense than he is on offense. However, 1515 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 5: his ability down the field and when he has the 1516 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 5: football in his hands changes the dynamic. When he has 1517 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,480 Speaker 5: the football in his hands five yards off the line 1518 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 5: of scrimmage, it's like, oh, all hands on deck on 1519 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 5: defense because this guy's gonna make two guys miss and 1520 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:34,840 Speaker 5: you don't want to be poster eyes by Travis Hunter. 1521 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,600 Speaker 3: Hey, what can you tell us about head coach Liam Cohen? 1522 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 3: I know that he went viral for like the duval 1523 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,760 Speaker 3: kind of thing, but like it seems like a likable guy. 1524 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 3: Obviously good stuff with the Bucks. How's the first couple 1525 01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:49,200 Speaker 3: weeks been there? 1526 01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's fun, man, I mean, you know, and 1527 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 5: he took a lot of a grief for that that 1528 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 5: think in his opening press conference, which is silly. I mean, 1529 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 5: he's just trying to endear himself. Yeah, I mean he's excited. 1530 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,520 Speaker 5: It's two hours on the job, and like it was 1531 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,720 Speaker 5: just kind of taken out of context. So but he's 1532 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 5: he is uber competitive and he may not come across 1533 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,000 Speaker 5: that way in the public setting a lot like he's 1534 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 5: you know, very measured in what he says, but he's 1535 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,440 Speaker 5: very honest with media and he does a good job 1536 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 5: with that thing. But you get in front of that 1537 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 5: room and in front of his team, and it is 1538 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 5: a different animal. We're fortunate on Jaguars dot Com we 1539 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,040 Speaker 5: have the series called The Hunt, which is kind of 1540 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 5: a behind the scenes, you know, cameras everywhere Hard knocks Fiel, right, 1541 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 5: So we get to see a little bit of that 1542 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 5: when those come out every month or two, and his 1543 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,360 Speaker 5: passion is evident really quickly, and I think that carries 1544 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 5: over to the team, and he's earned that respect in 1545 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 5: the offseason and now it's just carried over because the 1546 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 5: results are coming and they're not playing clean football and 1547 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 5: the things he's been teaching and preaching all off season 1548 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:57,320 Speaker 5: are showing up on Sundays and Monday nights, and that's 1549 01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 5: really earning him a lot of credit with his football seam. 1550 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 7: What's the progression of Trevor Lawrence been? Like, you look 1551 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 7: at his numbers, they don't wow you, but he has flashes, right, Obviously, 1552 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 7: this young man is talented. How does the staff feel 1553 01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,480 Speaker 7: about Trevor Lawrence in the city of Jacksonville. 1554 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to welcome everybody to the Trevor Lawrence 1555 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 5: experience who has not seen this firsthand before, because this 1556 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:25,320 Speaker 5: is what Trevor Lawrence foot paul is. I mean, one 1557 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 5: week he'll put up three touchdowns and no picks and 1558 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 5: a run and do things. And the next week he'll 1559 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 5: throw a couple of picks and there's never a tight spiral, 1560 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,080 Speaker 5: or you know, he'll make stupid decisions and throw a 1561 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 5: pick six or whatever, and the next week he comes 1562 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,920 Speaker 5: out and runs it five times for sixty yards. And 1563 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 5: this Monday night game was just a microcosm. 1564 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 11: Of all that. 1565 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 5: I mean, he had issues at the line of scrimmage, 1566 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 5: getting to the ball late, and had a couple of 1567 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 5: de lay games in the game, which has been a 1568 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,560 Speaker 5: problem all season so far. And then okay, he makes 1569 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 5: incredible throws down the field in key moments thirty seven 1570 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 5: on the last drive down thirty three yards down the 1571 01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,480 Speaker 5: sideline to Brian Thomas Junior perfectly. It might be the 1572 01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 5: best rule of his career. Unbelievable. And then he throws 1573 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 5: it out to Damie Brown on the left, which if 1574 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 5: he throws the post to Travis Hunter as a touchdown, 1575 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 5: that's another story. So he's leaving some out there too. 1576 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 5: There's the there's that whole pushing, you know, pushing pull 1577 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 5: you just he's missing some things when he's making some 1578 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,000 Speaker 5: things happen. And then I mean the whole, the whole play, 1579 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,320 Speaker 5: the touchdown to take the lead is just the This 1580 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,640 Speaker 5: is his career in a nutshell and get knocked down, 1581 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,720 Speaker 5: keep fighting, find a hole and score. I mean that 1582 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 5: is that's Trevor Lawrence football at a nutshell. 1583 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, a really fun game to watch. I uh, you know, 1584 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 3: heading into this game, I think up here in Seattle, 1585 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 3: we're all keeping our eyes on the defense to see, 1586 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,240 Speaker 3: you know, who's going to be out there. They might 1587 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 3: be a text away from trying to get me and 1588 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 3: Bump to go out there and play corner safety. I 1589 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,280 Speaker 3: have no idea, but we know that that's the Achilles 1590 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 3: seal heading into this one. We know, oh god, if 1591 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 3: you've got a ton of backups like you might get 1592 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 3: beat deep and and so the kind of what we're 1593 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,720 Speaker 3: watching here on Jacksonville side, is there an Achilles heel 1594 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,400 Speaker 3: of sorts for this team, Either that's been persistent through 1595 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 3: the first five weeks, or that might be especially true 1596 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:09,040 Speaker 3: this week. 1597 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good one. I think the interior of 1598 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 5: the defensive line has not been consistent enough. They've had 1599 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,600 Speaker 5: some issues in the pass rush game, you know, not 1600 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,559 Speaker 5: getting interior push a lot. I gotta watch for Trayvon 1601 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 5: Walker this week on the injury or fort defensive ends. 1602 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 5: He had a risk surgical procedure on his risk early 1603 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 5: last week, so miss the Bunday night game. If he plays, 1604 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 5: it's probably going to be a club situation on his hand, 1605 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 5: so see how that affects him. But other than that, 1606 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 5: I think they like what they're doing on defense. They're 1607 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 5: upset about their performance against the Chiefs, putting up nearly 1608 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,800 Speaker 5: five hundred yards, So if you're forward one and mad, 1609 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 5: that's a good sign on defense, not on offense. I mean, 1610 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 5: it's the question market tight end. You guys talked about 1611 01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,600 Speaker 5: it with Britain strange out. They've got some injuries on 1612 01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 5: the offensive line as well to look through. Mannheim could 1613 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 5: get another it could get a start at center if 1614 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,920 Speaker 5: Hainesy's hamstring is not right. We'll see how the rest 1615 01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,599 Speaker 5: of the week goes with that. But that's that's probably 1616 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:04,760 Speaker 5: a couple of areas I looked for. 1617 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 3: He is Jaguars reporter JP Shadick, JP, Ben a pleasure, 1618 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:10,040 Speaker 3: Thanks so MUCHJP. 1619 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to have a great week. 1620 01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 3: Have a good one. John Boyle joins us next. 1621 01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 2: Back to the huddle only on the home of the Seahawks, 1622 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 2: Seattle Sports. 1623 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,160 Speaker 3: John Boyle joining us right now, and John, I want 1624 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 3: to start by talking about Sam Darnald. And I opened 1625 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 3: the show by telling Wyman and Bump that it was 1626 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 3: so funny kind of being so positive about one half 1627 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 3: of the ball considering that they lost this game, but 1628 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 3: I was so encouraged by the offense by Sam Darnold, 1629 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,680 Speaker 3: by what they were able to do. Really wish it 1630 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 3: would have been a win, because we would have had 1631 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 3: an entirely different tone coming out of this one. But 1632 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,759 Speaker 3: I would look. I was looking up Sam Donald's EPA 1633 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,160 Speaker 3: per play completion percentage over expected through five weeks last 1634 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 3: year with Minnesota through five weeks this year with Seattle. 1635 01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:59,320 Speaker 3: He's outperforming drastically where he was last year. And it's 1636 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 3: because I just didn't expect it. What have you seen? 1637 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,600 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's when the Seawks signed him, the 1638 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,600 Speaker 12: question was like, boy, that was that year sustainable? 1639 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 11: Can he do that? 1640 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 12: And I remember kind of even hearing the nerves, like 1641 01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,799 Speaker 12: they don't need him to even be you know, great, 1642 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:14,439 Speaker 12: They have this good defense, like as long as he 1643 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 12: can be solid, Like to your point, he's even better 1644 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 12: than he was and what wasn't outstanding your last year. 1645 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 12: I mean, by a lot of these advanced metrics you're citing, 1646 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,680 Speaker 12: he's one of, if not the best quarterbacks in the 1647 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 12: NFL right now. 1648 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,679 Speaker 11: It's it's wild watch it is. It's unfortunate. 1649 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 12: I mean, if if the defense can just get one 1650 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 12: stop orf they complete that one drive, I mean, if 1651 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,639 Speaker 12: we're talking about a ninety nine yard game winning drive, 1652 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 12: that's such a different feeling. Or if he you know, 1653 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 12: doesn't get kind of a fluky interception, I feel like 1654 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,000 Speaker 12: they got a great chance to go kick a game 1655 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,760 Speaker 12: winner there. So tough finish, but yeah, it's hard not 1656 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 12: to be super impressed with what he's doing. 1657 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, and he seems to be like his superpower is 1658 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 6: just to be the same guy every Yeah, every player 1659 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,840 Speaker 6: play out, no matter what the adversity. He seems to 1660 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 6: almost thrive in that situation. And man, he's you know, 1661 01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 6: I think he's been more than we thought. 1662 01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:03,639 Speaker 12: Yeah for su sure, I mean I thought it's gonna 1663 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,200 Speaker 12: be a good quarterback for them. But I'd be lying 1664 01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 12: if I thought he'd be quite this impressive this early, especially, 1665 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,160 Speaker 12: I mean so much as new he's you know, new quarterback, 1666 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,440 Speaker 12: new targets, he's thrown to new scheme. 1667 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 3: And yeah, well it's not just him compared to last year, 1668 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 3: it's him compared to the rest of the league right now. 1669 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that thing is not just always better 1670 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 12: than he was Lesard, He's playing better in just about 1671 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 12: everyone in the NFL right now. 1672 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:23,839 Speaker 8: Yeah, how'ses? 1673 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,679 Speaker 7: He seemed pretty calm after the game over the interception, 1674 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 7: like he realized it was just such an unfortunate situation. 1675 01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:31,320 Speaker 8: How's he been this week? 1676 01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,519 Speaker 12: He's I mean today's win. He's a very steady guy. 1677 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 12: I mean that's just who he is. He's not a 1678 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,600 Speaker 12: big emotional highs and lows kind of guy, which I 1679 01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,679 Speaker 12: think is good for that position a lot of times, 1680 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 12: to just sort of not overreact to too many things. 1681 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 12: He you know, after the game, he was a little 1682 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 12: harder himself, he said, you know, less so about the throw. 1683 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 12: The actual throw was kind of dumb, luck that it 1684 01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 12: glanced off a helmet when he's just trying to throw 1685 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 12: it in the dirt, But more so pre snap, he 1686 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,440 Speaker 12: thought there's some things he could have, you know, recognized 1687 01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,439 Speaker 12: pressure wise and done something different. But yeah, I mean 1688 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 12: he's he's a steady guy off wins and losses, and 1689 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 12: I have no doubt that he's going to just come back. 1690 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 3: And be himself this week taking on Jacksonville on the road. 1691 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 3: It's going to be a ten am start here, obviously, 1692 01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,639 Speaker 3: but this team is nine to one on the road 1693 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,240 Speaker 3: under Mike McDonald, that only lost coming to a very 1694 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:20,000 Speaker 3: very good Lions team. And weirdly some of Jacksonville's numbers 1695 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 3: are better on the road too this year. So so 1696 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe that favors Seattle, But what have 1697 01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,840 Speaker 3: you learned about the way that this Seahawks team under 1698 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,639 Speaker 3: Mike McDonald and frankly under Carroll, they did a good 1699 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,919 Speaker 3: job too kind of handles their schedule or their preparation 1700 01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 3: for road trips. 1701 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm glad you said that, because I was gonna 1702 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 12: point out it really goes I mean, not that Mike's 1703 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 12: had doing a great job with this this pre day time. Yeah, 1704 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 12: I mean they were really going back to, you know, 1705 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 12: some of the best years and Pete Carroll that has 1706 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 12: been a good road team for a while. Now eight 1707 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 12: wins in a row on the road. That's pretty wild 1708 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 12: what they're doing right now. But yeah, I mean, I 1709 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 12: think it's just the way this team, you know, prepares 1710 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 12: for the road that you know, the leaving two days 1711 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 12: early helps a lot when they go east, I think. 1712 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:56,800 Speaker 12: And then I think a lot of it's just like 1713 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 12: sort of an approach and a mentality thing of you 1714 01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 12: hear players talk kind of they like being you know, 1715 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 12: we're on our own and stuff with us against everybody, 1716 01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 12: that kind of attitude. But yeah, it's pretty dark impressive 1717 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,719 Speaker 12: what they're doing on the road where it's in the past. 1718 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 12: You know, for most of Seahawk's history and NFL history, 1719 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,479 Speaker 12: if you're coming off a tough loss and like, oh man, 1720 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 12: now we got to fly across the country plate ten am. 1721 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,160 Speaker 11: That's rough, and I go cool, they do pretty well 1722 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 11: on that. Let's see what happened. 1723 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, what was Mike's mood like this week? 1724 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,560 Speaker 6: It was very frustrating watching it just because it seemed like, 1725 01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 6: you know, this was the same group of guys that 1726 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 6: executed against the Saints, and you know they had backups 1727 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,680 Speaker 6: in there, and yeah, it just it just seemed like 1728 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,719 Speaker 6: they were very fundamental things, which I think the good news. 1729 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 4: Is, you know, I don't want to say it's an 1730 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 4: easy fix, but you know what the problem is. 1731 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,560 Speaker 6: And then but also you know that's that seems like 1732 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 6: that's kind of uh, what gets Mike fired up is 1733 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 6: when you don't do just the fundamental you know. 1734 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,719 Speaker 12: Yeah, you could tell after the game he was pretty unhappy, 1735 01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 12: not so much at his players. I mean, I'm sure 1736 01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 12: there's things he wishes players and did different, but as 1737 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 12: a good hedge coach, does he put that on himself 1738 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,360 Speaker 12: of like if a player screwed up and didn't do 1739 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 12: something right, that's because we didn't prepare him well enough. 1740 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 12: That's sort of how Mike approached after the game that, 1741 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:11,679 Speaker 12: you know, saying they just need to do better, drop guys, 1742 01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 12: getting guys ready, making the right calls for him, getting 1743 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 12: them prepared. But once you flip the page on the game, 1744 01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:18,599 Speaker 12: I think Mike, much like what we just said about 1745 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 12: the quarterback, he's a pretty steady, even keeled dude. That 1746 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 12: like he's gonna just flip it to you know, once 1747 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 12: we get here to wind and say Thursday, when we're 1748 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,640 Speaker 12: into football mode, he's just boom, next game. How do 1749 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 12: we get better and you know, hopefully get a little 1750 01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,519 Speaker 12: healthier on defense, that would help a lot. I know 1751 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,640 Speaker 12: they can't use you know, nobody can say after game like, 1752 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 12: oh boy, injuries really screwed us over there, but it's 1753 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 12: I mean, they're playing without five starters for a lot 1754 01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 12: of that game once once Reek and Derek Hall got hurt. 1755 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 12: So it's it's tough to be at your best when 1756 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 12: you're missing that many good players. 1757 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 8: Are the Jags for real? What do you think? 1758 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:49,559 Speaker 17: I mean? 1759 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,599 Speaker 12: I yeah, I don't know how you can say they're 1760 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 12: not when you look at not just their record but 1761 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:55,960 Speaker 12: who they're beaten. I mean, it's like they're coming off 1762 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 12: back to back wins over San Francisco and Kansas City. 1763 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,559 Speaker 11: Yeah, those are legit wins. I know last week's win ended. 1764 01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 12: Kind of crazy and kind of a goofy play for 1765 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 12: the game winner, but to you know, they put themselves 1766 01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 12: in a position to do that. And yeah, I mean 1767 01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 12: they're the you know, I'll be curious to see over 1768 01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:11,679 Speaker 12: the course of season. Like one of the ways they're 1769 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 12: winning is with e league high takeaways by a huge margin, 1770 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 12: and that that can be hard to sustain. But they're 1771 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,360 Speaker 12: doing a lot of things. Well, they look pretty legitimate, 1772 01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:20,120 Speaker 12: William Cohen. 1773 01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 3: Is there something that this Seattle team's doing well that 1774 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 3: you think isn't being talked about enough? So, for instance, 1775 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,280 Speaker 3: we know that jsn's been great and Donald, but is 1776 01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,240 Speaker 3: there something else where You're like, Hey, I didn't realize 1777 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 3: that they were great here. 1778 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,400 Speaker 12: I mean, honestly, it shouldn't be overlooked as well as 1779 01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 12: the quarterbacks playing but pass protection. Sam Donald's one of 1780 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,720 Speaker 12: the least sacked quarterbacks in the NFL, and some of 1781 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 12: that's him getting rid of the ball and him making 1782 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 12: plays when there is pressure. 1783 01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 11: But that that front, you know, we all thought this 1784 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 11: team was going to really lean on the running game, 1785 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,240 Speaker 11: and they are getting better there. 1786 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 12: We've seen improvement and I think they're going to be 1787 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,559 Speaker 12: a good running team by time all said and done. 1788 01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:53,840 Speaker 12: But they've been very prolific passing in large part because 1789 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,280 Speaker 12: they're keeping Sam Donald pretty clean. 1790 01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 6: Well, did you get a chance to see any of 1791 01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 6: the guys that came back last weekend? Anybody that stood 1792 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,520 Speaker 6: out to you that I saw Cam which I still. 1793 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:05,960 Speaker 4: Am just in awe of Camp Chancellor. 1794 01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, but I got a chance to see Max Unger, 1795 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,559 Speaker 6: I saw Rufus Porter, who'd you see. 1796 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:12,600 Speaker 12: I didn't you know, I didn't get a ton of 1797 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,639 Speaker 12: time to catch up with those guys, but you neither down. 1798 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 12: I was down the sideline pre game, so offt of 1799 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 12: those guys. It's just you know, I for me, it's 1800 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,360 Speaker 12: you know, I covered everything from the peak Carroll era 1801 01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,880 Speaker 12: and on, so seeing some of those more recent guys, 1802 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 12: you know, Cliffs that might be and Doug and all 1803 01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 12: those guys. But yeah, it's I mean, really fun to 1804 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,640 Speaker 12: have so many great players and you know around for 1805 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 12: the week. 1806 01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,320 Speaker 3: Uh, let's wrap up with a really simple key to 1807 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:37,720 Speaker 3: a win from all of us. And John, though you're 1808 01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,320 Speaker 3: our guest and you always go first, I'm gonna have 1809 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 3: to go last this right, I'm gonna go in this 1810 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 3: order right here, bump wyman you and then I'll wrap 1811 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,880 Speaker 3: up as well. But we'll keep it simple. Keys to 1812 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 3: a win. We still have a minute left here, so 1813 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 3: you guys have some time. 1814 01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:49,519 Speaker 8: Keys to a win. 1815 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,600 Speaker 3: Key just one, just just just one, just one for you, 1816 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 3: one for each of you. 1817 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,080 Speaker 7: Cool be around the pass catchers. The Jags have the 1818 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 7: most drops in the NFL. They also have a really 1819 01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 7: good receiving Brian Thomas Junior and you got Travis Hunt 1820 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 7: over though as well. But they've shown that if you're 1821 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 7: just around them, their hands aren't the stickiest. So be 1822 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:14,520 Speaker 7: in position alignment, assignment, execution, execution. 1823 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,640 Speaker 3: Sticky in coverage, Wyman, I'm gonna go with you got 1824 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,400 Speaker 3: to win the take takeaway battle. 1825 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,600 Speaker 6: I think it's very odd that we don't have a 1826 01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,840 Speaker 6: fumble recovery. We don't have a fumble recovery this year. 1827 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,719 Speaker 6: But you know, we got some interceptions, but they're minus 1828 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,280 Speaker 6: one and this is the number one team. Uh, and 1829 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 6: takeaways are they plus seven plus eight? So yeah, the 1830 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 6: the Jags they need to uh, they need to take 1831 01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,720 Speaker 6: the ball away because they're I mean, shoot, you know 1832 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,879 Speaker 6: your plus eight, you got eight more possessions than everybody 1833 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:43,719 Speaker 6: else in the league. 1834 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,680 Speaker 4: So yeah, to me, that's that's the key. 1835 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,000 Speaker 3: You said the Jags lead the league and drops and 1836 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,439 Speaker 3: then no fumble recovery for Seattle. I'm learning all kinds 1837 01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 3: of fun facts. 1838 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,439 Speaker 12: It's just odd, right, I honestlye a pass rush get 1839 01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,080 Speaker 12: going is you know they were missing two of their 1840 01:17:58,160 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 12: edge guys last week in at show. They didn't get 1841 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:03,719 Speaker 12: to Baker Mayfield very well, and much like Sam Darnold, 1842 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,760 Speaker 12: they they have not been given up a lot of 1843 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 12: sacks over in Jacksonville either, they're protecting their quarterback well, 1844 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,960 Speaker 12: so I want to see you know whoever, whether it's 1845 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,920 Speaker 12: you know, if they're not fully healthy up front, maybe 1846 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:14,960 Speaker 12: you gotta send some more blitzes whatever it is. Yeah, 1847 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 12: make Trev Lawrence uncomfortable, get the ball out quick, make 1848 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 12: and make some bad decisions or hold it for some 1849 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,200 Speaker 12: sacks and yeah, get maybe maybe that's where the turnovers 1850 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 12: come from. 1851 01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be boring. I'm just gonna stay control time 1852 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,560 Speaker 3: of possession, get that run game going again, continue to 1853 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,519 Speaker 3: build off of what was borning Stacy. Yeah, you're right, 1854 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,200 Speaker 3: Thank you for encouraging me. This is what I turned 1855 01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 3: the segment into.
