00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: This is the huddle, the handoff, inside the Shomonay.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: He's gonna go touchdown.

Speaker 2: And of course we're gonna preview Sunday's game against the Colts. Guys.

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 4: Normally we begin the huddle by looking back at the

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 4: previous game. And if you guys have some points you

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 4: need to get off your chest about that Falcons game,

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 4: please let me know. I can't wait to talk about

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: whether or not Philip Rivers is going to play Sunday

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: and how you prepare for someone?

16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: Do I permission to jump into the Colts game?

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 5: Yes?

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Can we get started with it?

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 4: Dave, if you were on this defense right now, how

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: do you prepare to face a forty four year old

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers who hasn't played in five years?

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 5: You mean at age sixty one?

23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 6: Yes?

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: On the field, yes, but what about twenties?

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: Yeah?

26
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: Six year old Dave Winman, I have.

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 7: No idea, man, I mean, I look, obviously you're gonna

28
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 7: look at their offense, and there's some familiarity there with

29
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 7: Stichen and everything, and I'm sure that he can he

30
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 7: can throw the ball, and he's maybe the best choice

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 7: just because of you know, how to operate and run

32
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 7: the offense and everything. So yeah, I mean, do you

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 7: pull up the film. I mean, I guess you would.

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 7: You would throw a few things in there.

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, watch his high school that he's coaching, what.

36
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 7: Kind of what kind of offense that they're running at

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 7: that high school?

38
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, apparently the same the same one the Colts are

39
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 5: runing apparently. Yeah.

40
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I mean it must it must be. I

41
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 7: would think that they would put some clips in there,

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 7: because that's pretty easy to do nowadays, right, Yeah. I mean,

43
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 7: if you made a cut up back in the day

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 7: when I was there, you would have had to actually

45
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 7: go clip the film and put it in there and everything,

46
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 7: And now they can just draw plays from from anywhere.

47
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 7: So yeah, I'd suppose maybe ten percent of it you're

48
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 7: looking at, you know, what kind of quarterback he is

49
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 7: and what he does and what his tendencies are, But

50
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 7: for the most part, you know, you're just you're looking

51
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 7: at their offense, which really consists of pretty much one.

52
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: Person, and that would be Jonathan Taylor, not only their

53
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 4: rushing leader but also the league's rushing leader. He's got

54
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: thirteen hundred and fifty six yards so far. Bump, Is

55
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: this just Jonathan Taylor against Seattle's defense? And what is

56
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 4: having Philip Rivers out there mean for helping Jonathan Taylor?

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 8: Right?

58
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers has seen a million defenses.

59
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, Jonathan Taylor will get the bulk of the

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 9: touches for sure, but he's still going to need receivers

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 9: to make a catcher too. He's still going to need

62
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 9: the offensive line obviously to do their thing, and Philip

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 9: Rivers has to be able to be some type of

64
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 9: threat in the past game. But when it comes down

65
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 9: to it, Jonathan Taylor is the engine to this whole thing,

66
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 9: and he should touch the ball thirty to thirty five

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 9: times unless Philip comes out there and has a magical

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 9: foremans and is dicing up his defense, which I just

69
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 9: don't really see that.

70
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: I don't I don't see it happening.

71
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 9: I was telling Stacy Dave that he's forty four, he's

72
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 9: coming off the couch, and he's playing against one of

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 9: the best defenses in the NFL. Right, It's not like

74
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 9: he's getting a warm up game. No, you're coming in

75
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 9: and you're playing against some dogs right now. And if

76
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 9: I'm the Seahawks defense, I'm licking my chops and saying,

77
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 9: let's send this old man back home.

78
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: I don't know what he's doing out here with us.

79
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: Whyman, will Philip Rivers throw a touchdown?

80
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: No, I'm gonna say no on that one.

81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, no faith.

82
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 7: Really. I mean, look, I hate to put it this way,

83
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 7: but I mean you look at Jonathan Taylor. He's got

84
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 7: thirteen hundred and fifty six yards. The next closest is

85
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones with one sixty four, and then the next closest,

86
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 7: running back DJ Giddens has sixty six yards. So I

87
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 7: mean this is all about Jonathan Taylor. I mean, he

88
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 7: is gonna be tired at the end of the game.

89
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 7: But it's strength on strength. I mean, we have what

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 7: I think we dropped down to number three against the run.

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: Have it in front of me? Yea, yeah, if only

92
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: I had it right in front of my face. Rush

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: defense for.

94
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's terrible.

95
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 5: I mean they went they went up by three yards

96
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 5: per game.

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: I want to ask you, guys, strength on strength about

98
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: the run defense while we're on the topic, and maybe

99
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: before Julian gets here, what do they do so well

100
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: against the run?

101
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: How have they been so exceptional there?

102
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've they've.

103
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 7: Just been first of all, a lot of tackles for

104
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 7: loss for like a guy like Drake Thomas. So they're

105
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 7: hitting gaps and running kind of what I would call

106
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 7: like a run blitz. But then I don't know, last

107
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 7: week it was I mean, look, that was a good back.

108
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 7: And I asked Chennan Nuosu about Bjeon Robinson and Jonathan Taylor,

109
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 7: and I go, which one's better based on what you've seen,

110
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 7: and he goes, I'll tell you after the game. But yeah,

111
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 7: there was a couple of things. I mean, be Jeon

112
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 7: Robinson really good, but there was a couple of things

113
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 7: in the run defense last last week that I'd be

114
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 7: a little nitpicky about. There was a couple of times

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 7: guys going under blocks and not you know, getting over

116
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 7: the top of the and things like that, and so

117
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 7: it was a little leaky. But I mean, just overall,

118
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 7: they have been phenomenal. And you know, I always think

119
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 7: of Jaron Reid like I think a lot of like

120
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 7: big Cat. If he got to Philip Rivers, I feel

121
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 7: like he would pick him up and kind of cradle

122
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 7: him and then just sort of respect softly put him

123
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 7: down on the ground, whereas Jaron Reid would just blast

124
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 7: him and say, get off my field, old man.

125
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: Yeah you got.

126
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Famer, eventually now making himself ineligible

127
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: for it, though, Bump, At what point does this conversation

128
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: just become Sam Darnold in the offense against Ndies defense, who,

129
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: by the way, speaking of being good run defenses, they're

130
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: sixth there.

131
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they're pretty good. They're pretty good defensively.

132
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 9: Any team that's good defensively, you have gap integrity and

133
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 9: you're allowing your backers to fly downhill. That's why Dave

134
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 9: mentioned a guy like dra Thomas having all those TFLs.

135
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 9: Why because the big boys in front of them are

136
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 9: occupying defenders, so he's able to just run free and

137
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 9: get loose. So that's what you see when you watch

138
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 9: the Colts on film as well, this gap integrity.

139
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 5: It's allowing their backs to flow.

140
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 9: Got lots, two lots who on one side, who's a

141
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 9: really good defender as well. This is an NFL team,

142
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 9: And I did what I do every week, Dave. I

143
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 9: start the week like, oh, we should get these guys.

144
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 9: Then I watch more film, Ye, watch more fl Ye,

145
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 9: well that guy's good. I will all right in the

146
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 9: massive numbers up in and you expect some type of battles.

147
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 9: So yeah, they're just they're strong upfront, they allow the backs.

148
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 5: To flow, and they have a really good player.

149
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: On the end in lots of that's where you see

150
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: the battle.

151
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is why fans believe in trap games, because

152
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 7: they don't look at the film like at we don't

153
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 7: as a player, you don't look at the stats.

154
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: I don't remember.

155
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 7: I mean, you're vaguely aware of what their record is.

156
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 7: And but then you start watching film and then going,

157
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 7: oh man, that guy's really good. Actually, this guy's really good.

158
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 5: And you know that.

159
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 7: That's what teams looked at us in nineteen ninety two.

160
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 7: And I refer to that year a lot, just because

161
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 7: we're so.

162
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 5: Good on defense.

163
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 7: We could have been number one if we had any

164
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 7: support from our offense. But what happens is they start

165
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 7: looking and go, oh man, look at this Cortes. Kennedy, Kay,

166
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 7: we're going to block this guy. So and I remember

167
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 7: at the time, you know, we were two and fourteen

168
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 7: the Huskies, I think we're undefeated, and they were talking

169
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 7: about how the Huskies could beat the Seahawks, and I

170
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 7: was like, who's going to block Cortes?

171
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh you mean this eighteen year old? Oh yeah, exactly,

172
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: this twenty year old.

173
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

174
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 7: And getting back to the trap game, you know, and

175
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 7: that's something we talk about on our show quite a

176
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 7: bit that you know, people are always texting in like, oh, yeah,

177
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 7: they're gonna look past them, and I'm like, no, that's

178
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 7: fans just exactly what you said, Bump. You start watching him,

179
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: go damn, look at this guy. Look at that guy,

180
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 7: and then you know, like we gotta be on it.

181
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 7: We gotta be on it this week. So yeah, I mean,

182
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 7: it pencils out as far as the stats go and

183
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 7: everything that. You know, really they have one weapon on offense,

184
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 7: but hell, we a lot more than that.

185
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we only have a couple of minutes left before

186
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: we hit break and then bring in Julian here. So

187
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: I'm getting away from the preview a tiny bit, But

188
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm kind of curious because I think there are listeners

189
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: that like doing that but don't always know how how

190
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: do you guys watch when you sit down? Both of

191
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: you watched a ton of film ahead of this one.

192
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: When you sit down and you're like, all right, let

193
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: me get ready for Indy, what do you look at first?

194
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: I mean my processes.

195
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 9: I watched the wide film, and then I go to

196
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 9: the end zone the wide film, I look at the

197
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 9: secondary and the movements and who looks more fluid or

198
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 9: note I match the coverage, but I think the coverages

199
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 9: with the concepts and the second level are kind of

200
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 9: see where everyone fits and who's making plays. And then

201
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 9: when I go to the end zone, I always start

202
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 9: looking at the teams defense first, and then I go

203
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 9: to the end zone and I'm just looking at all, right,

204
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 9: what gaps do I think these guys are responsible for?

205
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 9: Is he controlling that gap? But who's he going up against?

206
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 9: Is that a Pro Bowl guy? All pro guy, no rookie?

207
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 9: And you start looking at matchups and see who's dominating

208
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 9: each matchup.

209
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: And then on the other side offensively, I kind of

210
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: do the same thing.

211
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just just watch games and look at you know,

212
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 7: like what what are they doing really well? You know,

213
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 7: the one thing that stands out I remember going into

214
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 7: the RAM game is how their run game is just

215
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 7: was timed up so well, just that their blockers are

216
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 7: right there as soon as the running back hits the

217
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 7: hits the gap. So I'm just looking at things in general.

218
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 7: I usually put on the you know, replay of the

219
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 7: All twenty two and just sit there and watch it

220
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 7: and do stats and keep watching. So I think Bomp

221
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 7: has got much more of a scientific approach than I do.

222
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 7: And then the other thing I always look for is

223
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 7: like who's playing hard?

224
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: You know?

225
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 7: And last week I'm trying to remember there's the defensive

226
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 7: end from you know, he played for the Niners, that

227
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 7: played for Atlanta and Floyd Yeah, yeah, and I was

228
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 7: watching him. I'm like, yeah, that dude's an old man,

229
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 7: but you know he's been in the league for a while.

230
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 7: He's still playing hard, you know, So that you know,

231
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 7: that's and everybody in the NFL has pride.

232
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: You know, that's it's more than anything.

233
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 7: It's more than a paycheck because paycheck players don't last

234
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 7: very long. But you know, if you have guys that

235
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 7: are that are playing hard, and they you know, they

236
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 7: they take pride in what they're doing because I always

237
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 7: I always thought about, like this film that I'm my

238
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 7: play on the field is going around the league, and

239
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 7: I want to be respected by other player.

240
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 5: Exactly.

241
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 7: I had one linebacker one time, Gary Reasons after you know,

242
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 7: we played each other and we played a lot of

243
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 7: common opponents, and he came across the field and said, hey, man,

244
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 7: I think you do a good job on me. Inside,

245
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: I was like, that was like somebody handing me a

246
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: two hundred thousand dollars check. I mean, it was like,

247
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 7: you that's why you play, so I mean, that's that's

248
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 7: what you're going to get.

249
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 5: And this is a team that's won some games.

250
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 7: You can look at their schedule and go, well, you

251
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 7: know who did they beat?

252
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 5: But I mean that's not really how it works in

253
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: the NFL.

254
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see what Julian Love and Jake Bobo

255
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 4: are seeing on film when they look at these guys.

256
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: They're going to join us next back.

257
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: To the huddle only on the home of the Seahawks,

258
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: Seattle Sports.

259
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: All right, Julian Love going to be joining us any

260
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: minute here before we bring on Julian, Let's talk about

261
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: the defense that Julian is playing on. They have looked

262
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: absolutely exceptional this year. Again walking over so bump. Julian

263
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: may interrupt you, how dare he? But we'll allow him to.

264
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: We've been talking this week about how the defense is

265
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 4: so good that it may not matter about any other

266
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: warts that a team has. And no team in the

267
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 4: NFL is perfect. Right, Is this a defense that's like

268
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: this is a super Bowl defense, best defense I've seen,

269
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: Like this defense can get the job done.

270
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're gonna need some help though, you know they

271
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 9: they can keep the game close. But defense they can

272
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 9: score points, but you don't rely on them to score points.

273
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 9: So yeah, but when you have the talent that they have, man,

274
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 9: it's it's easy to keep things close.

275
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: And one of those very talented players joining us right now, Julian.

276
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: Julian.

277
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: First of all, good to have you here, but also

278
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: great to have you back. It was awesome seeing you

279
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: seeing you back out with the team. You're a leader

280
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: on this team. I'm sure it was tough being out.

281
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: What was the experience, like, how did you stay involved?

282
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 11: I can remember me.

283
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 5: It was not fun.

284
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 12: I mean, you know, before this year I've never missed

285
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 12: a game of my life for injury, and so it

286
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 12: was definitely I was in an uncharted territory and so

287
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 12: it kind of ebbed and flowed. Some days we're up,

288
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 12: some days we're down. Through it all, I just try

289
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 12: to contribute whatever I could to the team.

290
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

291
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 12: Like part of the reason you know I'm here, why

292
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 12: people look at me is you know, for the playbook stuff,

293
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 12: for just kind of be a mind for the defense,

294
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 12: and then just kind of my leadership. And so I

295
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 12: just tried to lean into those things while I couldn't,

296
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 12: you know, be performing.

297
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: So happy to have you back out there.

298
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. You never missed a game. No, I

299
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 5: was missing games in high school. We all high school.

300
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 11: College, CC was in the league, and uh yeah, so.

301
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 5: It was definitely.

302
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: Ah.

303
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 11: I had to get my mind wrapped around it a

304
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 11: little bit.

305
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

306
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 7: Well, and then last week you said there's a plan,

307
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 7: so we're we're seeing that plan played out. You played

308
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 7: twenty snaps. How'd you feel for good?

309
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: Good? Yeah? Feel good? If you know, I'll practice.

310
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 12: How you know in practice, you're hyper aware of how

311
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 12: everything's going, just because you've been battling this thing so long,

312
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 12: especially like hamstrings. But when I sit on that field,

313
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 12: it was kind of riding a bike. Uh, you know,

314
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 12: communication all flowed, just the feel of the game. I

315
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 12: just try to keep that the main thing. Just go

316
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 12: out there and just rip and run it.

317
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was cool. I was wondering that if you

318
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 5: were gonna start or not.

319
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 9: So I saw you out there to start the game,

320
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 9: and that that made me happy.

321
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: Get to see you out there.

322
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 9: How do you think the Safeties have been performing in

323
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 9: your absence? I'm sure you've been like an extra coach

324
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 9: out there.

325
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: You can evaluate them.

326
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 12: I know, coach like it or not. And uh, they've

327
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 12: been balling across the board. I mean, you look at

328
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 12: Kobe's having a career year this year, Tyle Kotta is

329
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 12: coming in, guy who has been just battling for years

330
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 12: to you know, make a team you know, years past,

331
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 12: Uh and go out there and just like make plays,

332
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 12: not just like play, but make plays.

333
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 11: Has been really really cool to see.

334
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: Uh. And then you know Nikki Man, you.

335
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 12: Know, pseudo safety, sudo quarter, pseudo edge rusher, whatever.

336
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 5: You call him.

337
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 12: Uh, he's just coming into his own as well. And

338
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 12: that's cool because you know, I take a lot of

339
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 12: pride in that because you know, he's he's my rookie.

340
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 12: I gotta I got to make sure he's straight on

341
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 12: all that stuff. And so it's just been really cool

342
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 12: to see. And I think that's tug that the heartstrings

343
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 12: even more, like, man, I've worked so hard for.

344
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 5: So long, I want to be contributing.

345
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 12: Like my wife had to lock me off the ledge

346
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 12: a few times of like, hey, you're contributing in a

347
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 12: good way.

348
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 5: And so as sad as Hee, those guys going and

349
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: do their thing.

350
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: This game has another wrinkle thrown into it.

351
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 4: We're going to see something we've never seen before, which

352
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: is a quarterback who wasn't with the team. And it

353
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 4: had happened previously with a quarterback who was but a

354
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: quarterback who wasn't with the team coming.

355
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: Back after five years retired.

356
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 4: First of all, are you guys preparing as though Philip

357
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: Rivers would will be on the other side? And secondly,

358
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: how do you do that when he hasn't played for

359
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: five years?

360
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 12: First, I'll say it's definitely weird. I mean, it has

361
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 12: to be a first I would imagine, yes, And so

362
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 12: it's unusual, and so you just gotta kind of see

363
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 12: what the tape has been of Philip Rivers and obviously

364
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 12: he's the ultimate competitor and has done has been play

365
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 12: football for a high level for a long time. So

366
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 12: you go back and try to see some of that stuff.

367
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 12: It's weird because twenty twenty when covid R yeah film,

368
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 12: I think it was his last time, you're watching some

369
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 12: old Charger stuff like and so you try to get

370
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 12: that sort of sense. And then you know with the

371
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 12: young guy Riley, same thing, just kind of get case

372
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 12: for him in his limited, limited reps.

373
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: And so, I don't know, the games like this are tough.

374
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 12: I don't like wild card situations in terms of you

375
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 12: don't you'll know what you're expecting out there, but it

376
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 12: kind of lets you enforces you to play true. All right,

377
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 12: let's do what we do, let's call our calls, let's

378
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 12: run how we run.

379
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 11: And then you know the quarterback has to adjust to us.

380
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 7: So you are looking at some of his plays spliced

381
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 7: in there, yeah when he played, yeah.

382
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 12: His place, his cadences, all that stuff, because there's a

383
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 12: chance he's out there, and so it's it's pretty crazy

384
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 12: to think that, but yeah, you got.

385
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 11: To prepare for who everything's gonna be out there.

386
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: If you get a chance to just smoke him. I mean,

387
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 5: is there is there a party?

388
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 7: Is like he's a grandpa. I feel like I was

389
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 7: telling these guys, I feel like like Leo would probably

390
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 7: like pick him up and cradle and set him down,

391
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 7: but like Jay Reid would probably smoke him.

392
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

393
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean yeah, those gut some killers up front

394
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 12: for sure. Uh, I mean yeah, that has to be

395
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 12: factored into the uh the trash talking. Yes, I'm not

396
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 12: sure what we're on. The trash talking, it has to

397
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 12: be factored in. Yeah, And so I'm sure those guys,

398
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 12: you know, the doers, will do in O reguard.

399
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: It's so unusual, it's very.

400
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 12: Very It's just not a normal thing that you're you're

401
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 12: going against week and week out. And so yeah, you're

402
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 12: gonna get all that. I wonder what the list of

403
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 12: grandfathers in the league have been.

404
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 5: Just one, literally, he's the only one, oh.

405
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: No, second, Brett farv Well grandfathers that we know of.

406
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: I'm assuming in somewhere in like nineteen sixty one before

407
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: like pre cigarette pre analytics.

408
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Ye war, I think it's just Brett back.

409
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 7: When they were smoking cigarettes in the locker room when yeah,

410
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 7: somebody came back from war and quarterback.

411
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it spend working Monday through Friday and it's like

412
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 4: have day jobs.

413
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably probably, Yeah, you're right, that checks out.

414
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 9: You guys are one of the most talented defenses in

415
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 9: the league. And I think we probably praised you guys

416
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 9: more than you praise yourselves. But was there like a

417
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 9: moment where, because going into the season, like, you know,

418
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 9: there's talent and you're a fact, but you got you

419
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 9: got to bring it all together, you got to take

420
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 9: this necessary steps. So is there a moment where you

421
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 9: looked around you're like, hey, we might we might be

422
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 9: one of the coldest defenses in the game right now.

423
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, it had to have been around you know, probably

424
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 12: a week four, week five, you know, actually it was

425
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 12: we got a reality check with the Bucks early in

426
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 12: the season, so that might have been week six maybe,

427
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 12: So maybe like right after that, maybe it was the

428
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 12: Jacksonville Houston kind of stretch of weeks where we're like, man,

429
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 12: like I think Houston, we had a bunch of turnovers,

430
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 12: like all right, we can make this a thing for real,

431
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 12: And yeah, it's it's tough. I mean I've been around

432
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 12: so long, like you know, you have talented guys. You

433
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 12: always believe in the people you have.

434
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 5: No matter. I've believed in some teams that went four

435
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: and twelve.

436
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 11: It's like, oh man, this is our year.

437
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 12: Uh yeah, cast your bets, this is this is a

438
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 12: year four and twelve.

439
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

440
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 5: And so it's it's have to always know and to

441
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: factor that in. But we just knew.

442
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 8: I don't know.

443
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 12: We're just close. Like it's probably been said a ton

444
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 12: you to you guys. Uh, We're just a close team,

445
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 12: like we don't really care. It's like there's a very

446
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 12: little ego in that defense and everybody has that chip

447
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 12: on their shoulder and that dog and them. But it's

448
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 12: kind of for the we probably collective, like we love

449
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 12: celebrating with each other.

450
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 5: It's it's very unique.

451
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: Last question before we let you go.

452
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 5: Uh.

453
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: Literally, we've got like thirty seconds and then we'll get

454
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 4: you out of here. But just to check in, I'm

00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: wide receiver Jake Bobo. Let's talk a bit about Seattle's

471
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 4: offense against the defense. Wyman, what have you been seeing

472
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: when you're when you're watching tape, when you're looking at Indy.

473
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 4: We've spent so much of this morning talking about Philip Rivers. No,

474
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: oh my god, Jonathan Taylor is amazing.

475
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 5: Guys.

476
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 4: I will admit I know significantly less about the Colts defense.

477
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

478
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 7: Well, I would say, first of all, I really liked

479
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 7: to La Tou in the draft, and I think he's

480
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 7: a really skilled pass rusher. Think he leads the team

481
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 7: in sacks, and you know he has he has a

482
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 7: lot of really brilliant moves. The Seahawks obviously weren't gonna

483
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 7: take him because he failed the physical Washington goes to UCL.

484
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 7: I thought he was the best pass rusher in that draft.

485
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 7: And also I think he was the first defensive player

486
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 7: table was yeah, yeah, so and then Murphy was the

487
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 7: second one, right, So yeah, I mean they can definitely

488
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 7: put some pressure on you, and so yeah, I mean

489
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 7: he really stands out as far as their defense goes.

490
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 7: But you know, they they do some things well, they're

491
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 7: just okay. But yeah, I mean I feel like it's

492
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 7: going into these kinds of games.

493
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 5: I always look at it go, this is more about us.

494
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: It's about us than it is about the other team.

495
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: So there's nothing on their defense that our offense can't handle.

496
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 7: But I thought it was a big step the way

497
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 7: that they kind of battled it out in that first

498
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 7: half and there it was kind of like a body blow,

499
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 7: body blow, body blow, and then all of a sudden,

500
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 7: it just sort of opened wide open in the second half.

501
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 7: And I feel like that's really a testament to the

502
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 7: way that Clint Kubiak looks at a game.

503
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 4: I'll say, bump, I'm speaking of opening up. That was

504
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: in part of massive special teams to start the third quarter,

505
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: but we did see more explosive passes quite literally, the

506
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: offense opened up, and I like Dave mentioning like it's

507
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: about who you are, because their identity offensively has been

508
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: those explosive pass plays I've been waiting for, Like, oh,

509
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: maybe the run will absolutely take off. But then you

510
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 4: noted that the run game has been pretty solid for

511
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 4: the last month.

512
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: This is a good offense.

513
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: It's not bad.

514
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 9: I think when it comes to good teams, you always

515
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 9: have to adjust your opponents. Right, the Hawks are making

516
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 9: adjustments according to what they're going to see. But for

517
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 9: the most part, the good teams kind of control the

518
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 9: game themselves, like, you're gonna have adjust us because we

519
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 9: are going to run our stuff regardless. And you get

520
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 9: this deep into the season, you have an answer. You've

521
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 9: seen almost every defense. You've seen an offer, You've seen it,

522
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 9: even front. You've seen an OK, you've seen a bear,

523
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 9: you've seen an eagle. Like you've seen all these fronts.

524
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 9: So it's not like you're you're gonna get thrown Something's

525
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 9: gonna be thrown at you that you just don't have

526
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 9: the answer for.

527
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, And the reason why the.

528
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 9: Passking got going to my opinion opinion at least, is

529
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 9: that in the second half they ran in a bit

530
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 9: more and they took the checkdowns and the short stuff.

531
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 9: And what that does is the backers are biding up,

532
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 9: the sages up. You caught him a man, old man

533
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 9: a couple of times and you win. So it's a

534
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 9: it's it's a dance every game. There's a certain kind

535
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 9: of dance that you that you do when you're playing

536
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 9: a game.

537
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 7: The long JSN touchdown I thought was, you know really well,

538
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 7: I think they were max protect and it was just

539
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 7: a two man route and the way that Shahid kind

540
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 7: of ran, the safety had to you know, go down

541
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 7: l So what's up, Jake?

542
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 5: How are we doing?

543
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 4: Jake Bobo joining us right now. Jake, we were just

544
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 4: uh talking a little well, we were talking plenty about

545
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: the offense, and we were talking just about how the

546
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: offense completely took off in the second half. I know,

547
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 4: technically that kind of starts when Rashid runs it back

548
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 4: a casually was one hundred yards. That was pretty cool

549
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: to see. I mean, how's that feel?

550
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Seeing that? I know I was gonna come in with

551
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: offensive questions.

552
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 10: But no, that's a good one to start.

553
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

554
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 10: I think it was good for everybody.

555
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 13: Everybody knows he can do that, and so for us

556
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 13: to be able to It was almost like we were

557
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 13: showing you guys like, hey, yeah, this guy, you didn't

558
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 13: see this one coming. So I mean it was cool.

559
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 13: It was cool for him to finally get one on

560
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 13: the board. But yeah, I mean that certainly helps the offense.

561
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 10: We need do something like that.

562
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 5: You had, You had a nice block on that on

563
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 5: that kickoff.

564
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, just getting away, that's what it's all about, no doubt.

565
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, well there was I think Patio had a really

566
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 7: good block there as well. But it just feels like,

567
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 7: I don't know, there's something about the kickoff now that like,

568
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 7: if you can just get through one part I mean

569
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 7: the old kickoff, everybody would kind of converge and now

570
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 7: you're kind of hitting it where there's just like two

571
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 7: or three guys.

572
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 13: Right, there's not a lot of levels, and so if

573
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 13: you can get through the kind of that first wave

574
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 13: and get up on the kicker, it's uh, it's to

575
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 13: the house usually, which is I mean great as a

576
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 13: kickoff return unit, but also it is a little bit

577
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 13: more difficult as a return unit to try to make

578
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 13: big plays because there's that first wave is a lot

579
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 13: more difficult to deal with and say it was back

580
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 13: in the day, which which is which is interesting, But

581
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 13: like you said, if you pierce it.

582
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 10: I mean it's it's a lot more big place for sure.

583
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: My question has nothing to do with football.

584
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 10: Bang.

585
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 9: So I'm sitting there my favorite watering hole, having myself

586
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 9: a beverage. But you go to Moonshine Barbecue and I'm

587
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 9: sitting there and a commercial comes on. It's Jake Bobo

588
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 9: snow got a commercial and I think it's for like

589
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 9: roofing or something like that. And you were so natural,

590
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 9: like your personality kind of just jumped off the screen.

591
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 5: Is that something you want to get into.

592
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 9: I think you'd be good and in something like that

593
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 9: after football.

594
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 13: Listen, I appreciate a uh tech line for you know,

595
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 13: reaching out and we're able to uh figure something out

596
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 13: marketing wise. Absolutely, not to answer your question. That is

597
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 13: the worst. I hate me in front of a camera.

598
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 13: So maybe, like I appreciate the compliment if you know,

599
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 13: I'm in a in a bit of a pinch or something.

600
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 13: I need to need to make some coin hopping in

601
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 13: front of the camera, but I would prefer not to.

602
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: Did a great zome.

603
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 10: I appreciate it.

604
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, just acting, just not for you what if

605
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: it just comes to you naturally, you.

606
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

607
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying. Imagine if there's someone who

608
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: is like six foot eight and wasn't an athlete, what

609
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: are you doing if you're natural in front of the camera.

610
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 13: Well, if you'd have seen the amount of takes that

611
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 13: we had to do, you might not be saying that.

612
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 10: But I appreciate it. Yeah, you know, that's hard to do.

613
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 7: I did a car commercial ten years ago and there

614
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 7: was a bunch of people in the room watching and

615
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 7: it ran one time. And the one guy that I

616
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 7: know that saw it was k Yeah, this day I

617
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 7: had it and it only ran once, and uh, he

618
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 7: said to me, you looked uncomfortable.

619
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 10: That's so funny.

620
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: Ran one time.

621
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 8: That's it.

622
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: He just happened to I never.

623
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 5: Saw it bad, and I knew it was bad. And

624
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 5: it's hard to do.

625
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 10: Man, it couldn't be that day.

626
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they were like, we can't.

627
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 9: You what what are you seeing?

628
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 5: The Colts this week? They where they bringing.

629
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 13: I mean, talented, talented defense. Obviously a little banged up

630
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 13: in the back end, but you know the way they

631
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 13: do things in terms of you know, heating up the quarterback.

632
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 13: They're gonna try to heat us up, I think early

633
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 13: and often, and you know, Sammy has done a great

634
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 13: job so far in dealing with that, and we'll try

635
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 13: to take advantage some things.

636
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 10: But definitely a good team.

637
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 13: Obviously they have some things going on on the other

638
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 13: side of the ball. But yeah, man, just go go, go,

639
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 13: put up some points on the board and our defens

640
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 13: will take care of theirs.

641
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 4: Gonna be weird seeing Philip Rivers out because you were

642
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: born nineties, late nineties, right, so you're I mean, we're

643
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 4: talking like you were.

644
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: Watching Philip Rivers.

645
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 10: Oh I was watching, you were watching.

646
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be weird seeing him out there?

647
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 10: I don't.

648
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 13: I don't think so, just because, like I, I continue

649
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 13: to play against guys that I grew up watching. I

650
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 13: mean to name a few like Aaron Rodgers we played

651
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 13: a few weeks ago.

652
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: That was nuts.

653
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: What was the most surreal one where you were in

654
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: a game and you're like, I can't believe he's over there.

655
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 10: Well, see, so here's the thing.

656
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 13: And I don't think he will will see this interview,

657
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 13: hopefully not, but just being out there on the field

658
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 13: with DK the first time, even as your own teammate.

659
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 13: You're kind of like, you know, holy crap, this is

660
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 13: this real? So you know that one Aaron Rodgers for sure.

661
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 13: Even seeing Tom Brady on the sideline. I'm a new

662
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 13: England kid, so seeing him call a couple of our

663
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 13: games has been has been cool.

664
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: I will say when Brady was here, because you guys

665
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 4: are in the booth and everything for the games, it

666
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 4: was like a celebrity in the booth.

667
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: He was walking through with security.

668
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 5: He said, nice.

669
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a bunch of us.

670
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 7: Why why do you Why does Matt Hasselbeck get compared

671
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 7: to you and you to him?

672
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 5: Have you heard this?

673
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 10: I haven't. I would be I would love to hear

674
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 10: about it.

675
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: Matt said. It was something like, it's a Boston kid. Oh,

676
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 5: I don't know.

677
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 13: I'm for sure taking that as a compliment. Matt's the man.

678
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 7: That's the first time I'd ever heard that.

679
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, the first time I'm hearing it now. Okay, I'll

680
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 13: take it though. Matt knows about it.

681
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 10: Okay, good, good, good good.

682
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 9: Well what do you as a season progresses, right, try

683
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 9: to tweak some things in your game and your approach.

684
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 9: What's something that you you said, I gotta I gotta

685
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 9: tweak this a little bit, and you've kind of seen

686
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 9: it show up on film.

687
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say in in you know we're talking

688
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 13: about special teams earlier, just be becoming more of a

689
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 13: factor in in the coverage game, whether that's covering punts,

690
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 13: covering kicks. You know, like at heart, I'm a receiver,

691
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 13: but in order to contribute to this team, I need

692
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 13: to I need to do things on special teams. And

693
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 13: so I just trying to continue to kind of mold

694
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 13: my game, become more physical, do some you know, individual

695
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 13: tackling drills on the side, on on on some some

696
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 13: weekday practices, and and figure out ways that I can

697
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 13: get guys on the ground because uh, previous to you know,

698
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 13: my tenure here, that hadn't exactly been in my job description.

699
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 13: But continue to figure that out and and and it's

700
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 13: been a lot of fun to be honest.

701
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 8: Oh go ahead, well real quick.

702
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, Special teams has been amazing.

703
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 7: Oh you guys have gotten harb Yeah. So I mean

704
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 7: and you know the guy that was just in here,

705
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 7: Julian Love, he sat behind guys, you know, safeties Jabiert Peppers. Yeah, yeah, bro, Yeah,

706
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 7: so he kind of built his career with special teams,

707
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 7: you know, and then now he's he's a starter and everything.

708
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 5: But I mean, and it's tough for players.

709
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're a good player in college, probably

710
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 7: not playing much special teams, right.

711
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 10: No, that's what I mean.

712
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, hardly ever did in college and then had

713
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 13: to come here and contribute.

714
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys are, yeah, the best special teams units

715
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: in the league. He's the X wide receiver.

716
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Jake Bobo.

717
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 8: Thanks Jake.

718
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: We appreciate it absolutely. Sam Donald coming up next.

719
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 3: This This is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to two.

720
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: On Seattle Sports, talking right now with reporters at Virginia

721
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 4: Mason Athletic Center at Seahawks quarterbacks, Sam Donald, let's take

722
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 4: a listen.

723
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 5: Ready to go for this one.

724
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 14: You know, obviously coming off last week, just you know,

725
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 14: the emphasis I guess this week would just be, you know,

726
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 14: continuing to be efficient and be ourselves as an offense

727
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 14: throughout the entire game, and that really starts in practice

728
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 14: with our prep. But again, just looking at these guys,

729
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 14: you know, a really good team, really good defense, you know,

730
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 14: really good scheme and their players, like I always kind

731
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 14: of say, but especially this week. You know, they kind

732
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 14: of make it come to life with the scheme that

733
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 14: they have, and you know, we're excited about the challenge.

734
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 15: What do you make it the defense?

735
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 16: Because total yards allowed for a game looks like it's

736
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 16: up there, but they're not a lot of a.

737
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 14: Whole lot in the run, right, Yeah, I think you know,

738
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 14: for us, it's just about going out there understanding, you know,

739
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 14: what they're in, you know, dissecting, communicating and rolling from there.

740
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 7: Is there something that.

741
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 9: They change on that front though that makes it more

742
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 9: difficult to run against.

743
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 14: You know, they do a lot of good things defensively,

744
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 14: you know, not just in the run game, but in

745
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 14: the past game as well. So you know, there's there's

746
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 14: certain things that we just got to be ready for

747
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 14: and we will be.

748
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 17: You mentioned wanting to start faster. Obviously you didn't know

749
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 17: where you wanted last week. But how encouraging is it

750
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 17: that we've seen multiple times this year, whether first or

751
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 17: second half, the way this team can score in a

752
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 17: hurry and you have thirty point halves I think four

753
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 17: different times.

754
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, it's encouraging. You know, we're going

755
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: to continue.

756
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 14: To harp on the fact that you know, if we

757
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 14: can do it in a half, why can't we do

758
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 14: it all game kind of thing? So we just got

759
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 14: to you know, continue to put together a very consistent

760
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 14: four quarters of football, and you know, we're working towards

761
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 14: that and we'll be looking forward to doing that hopefully

762
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 14: this Sunday.

763
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 16: On the field goal drive you guys got right before halftime,

764
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 16: the last play, I think you had no timeouts left

765
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 16: in eight seconds, so seems like the only option is

766
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 16: to throw to the sideline. I imagine the defense knows that,

767
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 16: and you still get it. What's the key to finding

768
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 16: a completion like that when you imagine that.

769
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 11: The defense knows what's coming.

770
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, it's just practicing those scenarios for me,

771
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 14: like understanding the kicker that we have, you know, where

772
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 14: where our field goal line is, and understanding that, you know,

773
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 14: if we don't necessarily need those five yards ten yards

774
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 14: to get a little bit closer. I just need to

775
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 14: be good about throwing it away and being good in

776
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 14: that situation and understanding it. And again, like you just mentioned,

777
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 14: like understanding kind of the defense that they're in. And

778
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 14: you know, once I you know, think that, you know,

779
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 14: we might not be able to get the playoff, or

780
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 14: they might tackle us in bounds to just throw it,

781
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 14: throw it out of bounce for you.

782
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 8: Get the three rush in the tamps? What are up

783
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 8: for you?

784
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 15: Did you see in terms of some lanes and how

785
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 15: does that help them standing dry?

786
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

787
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 14: I think just you know, understanding kind of the time

788
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 14: clock in my own head and going through my progressions

789
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 14: and being a football player, you know, just going out

790
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 14: there and you know, if if I feel like the

791
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 14: pocket may be collapsing and I can't run around, maybe

792
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 14: just being able to find a safe spot to throw

793
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 14: it away.

794
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 7: But if I feel like I have.

795
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 14: Time in the pocket and you know, I'm just kind

796
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 14: of going through my progression and nothing's there, then I'm

797
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 14: able to make a play and get out of the

798
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 14: pocket a little bit. So I think that's what you

799
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 14: guys saw on Sunday.

800
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 15: The last touchdout the Jackson in that game.

801
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 16: Were you kind of what were you thinking about running

802
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 16: there and then you saw him or were you just

803
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 16: trying to kind of run to create something or.

804
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was just moving forward in the pocket, you know,

805
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 14: trying to again just extended down a little bit, you know,

806
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 14: and Jax did a really good job of kind of

807
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 14: showing up for me there. Aj also did a really

808
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 14: good job. He was wide opening the end zone as well.

809
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 14: But yeah, trying to trying to, I guess, you know,

810
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 14: having the linebacker there as the whole player, just understanding that,

811
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 14: you know, if if he takes Jacks away, then I'm

812
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 14: gonna be able to walk in for a touchdown, and

813
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 14: if he doesn't, then I'll be able to just dish

814
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 14: it off to Jack's right there like I did.

815
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 15: How often do you pick something up from film that

816
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 15: you watch for yourself from a past game that ends

817
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 15: up being useful to to what you're doing doing in

818
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 15: the future.

819
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, all the time, you know, I think just understanding

820
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 14: that defenses are consistently watching my tape and understanding kind

821
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 14: of my tendencies. So just picking up on little things

822
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 14: that I do every now and then and learning from it.

823
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 5: You know.

824
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 14: It's just like you know, the first you know, a

825
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 14: few years of my career, you know, not necessarily going

826
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 14: the way that I want, but learning from those experiences

827
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 14: and making sure that they don't hurt me in the future.

828
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 5: Okay, what's the.

829
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 15: First thing that you look at when you go back

830
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 15: to look at your film from the previous week.

831
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 14: I think it's just execution, you know, looking at kind

832
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 14: of the plays where I felt like, you know, I

833
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 14: maybe felt something, and then on the field it was

834
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 14: a different story. So yeah, just I think execution from

835
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 14: you know, my point of view, understanding how I can

836
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 14: be better, and just kind of going from there.

837
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: When you were a young quarterback growing up, what did

838
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: you take away from Philip Rivers game?

839
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, Philip Man, he's a He's a great player, an

840
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 14: all time player, you know, I think just one of

841
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 14: those guys that you know, he wasn't necessarily known as

842
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 14: the most mobile guy, but he could just kind of

843
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 14: hang around in the pocket and make plays, and he

844
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 14: was really really good at dissecting defenses, understanding what they're

845
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 14: in before they're even in it, you know, pre snap.

846
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 14: And yeah, it's you know, he was especially being close

847
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 14: to my home being in San Diego for his you know,

848
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 14: most of his career, you know, it was really it

849
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 14: was really cool to be able to watch him, uh

850
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 14: you know, growing up and uh, now you know, maybe

851
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 14: play against him again. It's gonna be a great opportunity

852
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 14: for us.

853
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: He samus of where the down marker.

854
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 15: Is when you're extending plays something that team's practice all

855
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 15: obviously as a quarterback, as you come through that becomes

856
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 15: something in your way. How does that become second.

857
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 14: Nature to Yeah, it's uh, it's something that you you

858
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 14: continue to learn as you go. You know, just kind

859
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 14: of where the down marker is and understanding you know

860
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 14: where the line of scrimmage is first of all to

861
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 14: be able to throw the ball or maybe tuck it

862
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 14: and run. But then yeah, once you get going, you

863
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 14: can kind of periff where the where the down marker is,

864
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 14: using your peripherals to kind of see where the marker is,

865
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 14: how much you need for a first down, stuff like

866
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 14: that before you got to get down. So there's a

867
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 14: lot of things that you can pick up on and

868
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 14: learn throughout the years of play in football.

869
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 17: Cooper was talking yesterday about like one of the things

870
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 17: he's noticed on really good teams is how guys do

871
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 17: the things that don't show up on the stat sheets,

872
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 17: you different things, And obviously he's one of those guys.

873
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 17: But what have you got a sense that on this

874
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 17: team that there's a lot of guys who put in

875
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 17: those kind of efforts.

876
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 14: For sure, Yeah, there's a lot of guys that that

877
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 14: don't care about stats.

878
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: They just want to win.

879
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 14: That's all of our guys on this team. You know,

880
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 14: It's it's very rare, but it's it's something special about

881
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 14: this team, like like Coop had mentioned.

882
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 7: But yeah, there's there's a.

883
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 5: Ton of them.

884
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 14: The the one group that sticks out to me with

885
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 14: that is the offensive line, right because I feel like

886
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 14: the only time they get you know, uh, they get

887
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 14: any type of attention is when it's bad, you know,

888
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 14: whether it's a false start, you know, the announcers calling

889
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 14: their name, uh, you know, and then sacks those show

890
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 14: up in the stat sheet, but there's nothing that really

891
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 14: shows up unless it's like a big running game and

892
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 14: or you don't have any.

893
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 5: Sacks on the game.

894
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 14: But like there's there's nothing really where they get like

895
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 14: a ton of And so I think those guys just

896
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 14: the unselfishness in that room is unlike any other.

897
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 15: It's had so many like outspoken leaders on the defensive

898
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 15: side of the ball.

899
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 5: The offense.

900
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 15: A lot of you guys are kind of quieter leaders

901
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 15: when the offense needs, you know, a word. Who are

902
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 15: the people that that kind of speaks up.

903
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, No, there's a there's a lot of guys that

904
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 14: are able to speak up, and they speak up in

905
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 14: rooms where people aren't necessarily their cameras aren't there. So yeah,

906
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 14: we got a we got a really good group of

907
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 14: guys in the offensive room that you know, have a

908
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 14: lot of leadership. But there's a lot of guys also

909
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 14: that just like to put their head down and go

910
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 14: to work and I'll always you know.

911
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 10: Be able to play football.

912
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 5: Guys like that.

913
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 18: She's been here a month and change. Now, how has

914
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 18: that process kind of gone for you? Trying to get

915
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 18: a new guy up to speed mid season and kind

916
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 18: of where do you feel that relationship is now that

917
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 18: you've had a chance to see how he moves and

918
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 18: stuff and kind of figure.

919
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 5: That all out.

920
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, No, she's been great, you know, throughout the entire

921
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 14: time that we've had him here, just learning the system.

922
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 14: Obviously being with Clinton last year helps it helps a ton.

923
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 14: But no, he's whenever I see him, he's always kind

924
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 14: of studying or asking questions about, you know, the game plan,

925
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 14: so he's always on top of things.

926
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 16: Can you help us understand the difference between pure progression

927
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 16: reads and coverage reads.

928
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, so, I mean pure progression reads are it's really

929
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 14: most of the NFL is pure progression reads.

930
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: The other one is just.

931
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 14: Like some you know split you know split reads, so

932
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 14: like one one side of the field is versus a

933
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 14: certain coverage, the other side is for another coverage.

934
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: But pure progression is really just using.

935
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 14: The whole field and all receivers just built into the

936
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 14: progression so that you can just kind of click through it.

937
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 14: And so when we say peer progression reads, it just

938
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 14: means going one to two to three to four to

939
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 14: your back essentially.

940
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 16: Does it sort of simplify things for the quarterback in

941
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 16: real time?

942
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: Yeah? It does.

943
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 14: You know, again it's not it's not how we do

944
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 14: things all the time here, but it definitely it helps,

945
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 14: you know, when when you got teams that are you know,

946
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 14: disguising coverages really well, you know you can just kind.

947
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 5: Of click through your progressions that way.

948
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 15: You've heard people say get rid of the ball faster.

949
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 15: You've heard people say just take a sack. You've heard

950
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 15: people say just run the ball. Besides probably being annoying

951
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 15: to hear all those things like how do you and

952
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 15: the that's plit second kind of assess all those different

953
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 15: options and how do you how do you like get

954
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 15: better and how you look to do it.

955
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's washing tape.

956
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 14: I think it's kind of grown from you know, what

957
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 14: you feel or what you see on the field and

958
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 14: how you see it on the tape, and how you

959
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 14: can develop kind of that skill of that feel of

960
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 14: kind of understanding different situations and understanding the weight of

961
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 14: that pre snap, but then just going out there and

962
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 14: playing football, because at the end of the day, like

963
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 14: you can't be thinking about all that, you know, while

964
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 14: the ball's getting snapped and while you're you know, trying

965
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 14: to evade rushers and going through your progressions like we

966
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 14: just talked about. So it's a yeah, it's definitely something

967
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 14: that's a learned skill. But you know, again for for

968
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 14: kids and for me, you know, people that have played

969
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 14: football their entire lives. You know, it's you have an

970
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 14: innate ability to to just go out there and make plays.

971
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 5: But again, like I.

972
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 14: Said, it's sometimes you don't need to go make a play.

973
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 14: Sometimes you just need to throw the ball away or

974
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 14: live you know.

975
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 2: For the next down, we are going in the trenches

976
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: with Ray Roberts.

977
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 3: Next, this is the huddle, the handoff inside the shar

978
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna go touchdown. Seahawks exclusively on Seattle Sports on

981
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: Why time to go inside the huddle.

982
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 4: Puddle time and we're going in the trenches with Ray Roberts.

983
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: Ray, how's it going.

984
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: We're going, all right?

985
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 19: How you guys doing you survive? And all the atmospheric

986
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 19: river action?

987
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 4: It is pouring and just gross outside. Uh, surviving, but

988
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 4: it's definitely rainy. I'm guessing it'll be rainy on Sunday

989
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 4: as well. When we see maybe Philip Rivers opposite Seattle's defense.

990
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: That was shocking.

991
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: Ray, are you expecting to see Rivers on Sunday?

992
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: And uh?

993
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 4: And uh, how do you think he'll fare against Seattle's defense?

994
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 8: You know what?

995
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 19: Like it's one of those things where it's a little

996
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 19: bit tricky because you don't want him to come here

997
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 19: and if he does get in the game, you don't

998
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 19: want him to have any type of success, you know,

999
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 19: because you're one of the top defenses in the league.

1000
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 19: And uh, but if he does play, you want to

1001
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 19: make him remember what it felt like, Uh, sitting on

1002
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 19: the couch chasing Grankitt. You know what I'm saying, like you, Oh, yeah,

1003
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 19: that was really easy. It was comfortable. I just had

1004
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 19: to give him some snacks, put my feet up, and

1005
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 19: watch TV a little bit. And so if I was

1006
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 19: coach McDonald and donald and he got into the game, man,

1007
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 19: I'm telling you, I'm blitzing everybody. Like I'm on Madden.

1008
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 19: There's a blitz called Engage eight where you blitch eight

1009
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 19: of the eleven players. And when I played my kids

1010
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 19: and I can't stop them, I blitch those eight guys

1011
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 19: plus two more, and I just have the free safety back.

1012
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 19: And so that's what I would I would have. I

1013
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 19: would have people wearing defensive numbers in the stands coming

1014
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 19: out blitzen the quarterback. I just want to hit him

1015
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 19: and hit him and hit him and hit him, and

1016
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 19: just to remind him that, yeah, you're forty four years old.

1017
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 19: It's cool. I'm not hating on you for getting the opportunity,

1018
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 19: but you're going to feel You're going to remember what

1019
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 19: it feels like to be hit and driven into the ground,

1020
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 19: and it's not a whole lot of fun.

1021
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 20: Yeah.

1022
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 7: I was speculating that Jaron Reid might be the one

1023
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 7: guy to really let him have it. Just just be

1024
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 7: mean about it and like get off my field.

1025
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 5: Old man.

1026
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 7: Hey, Ray, what do you what do you think of

1027
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 7: the run game last week? And just you know, some

1028
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 7: of the offensive line performance. I like to I like

1029
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 7: to think that because we got you charged up talking

1030
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 7: about offensive line last week on the huddle, that had

1031
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 7: a carryover effect. But no, I mean it, you know,

1032
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 7: I thought, and especially apparently Anthony Bradford graded out really well,

1033
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 7: So just give us a report card.

1034
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 19: Yeah at this point, No, I think they're playing some

1035
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 19: good football, and I think they're they're starting to round

1036
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 19: into into shape and be really effective and efficient in

1037
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 19: a run game. Even on some of the outside zone

1038
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 19: stretch plays where it seems like they're not gaining yards

1039
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 19: and all of a sudden they get up and it's

1040
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 19: a four or five yard game. I still think that

1041
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 19: they are. They're running the bar really well in between

1042
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 19: the tackles. Canaan is running with a little bit more

1043
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 19: purpose and intentionality. He's averaging four yards to carry him more.

1044
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 19: And Charbonay has been able to do damage when he

1045
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 19: gets in there, and so they've they've opened up some

1046
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 19: really good lanes.

1047
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 4: You know.

1048
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 19: I think you Dave sent me a few times, uh,

1049
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 19: you know, asking about how Olu was playing, and you know,

1050
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 19: I watched him a little bit more this past week

1051
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 19: and he's still obviously there's still things that everybody can

1052
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 19: be better at. But the one thing that I really

1053
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 19: like that I see in him is that he's always

1054
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 19: been a strong dude, a guy that's not going to

1055
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 19: have a lot of blowing assignments. But you just kind

1056
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 19: of missed a little bit of the nastiness in him,

1057
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 19: and you can start to see him trying to finish blocks,

1058
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 19: getting down the field, hit people, getting a little kippy

1059
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 19: with people, and you didn't see that in Oulu in

1060
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 19: the beginning, and so it's really good to see that

1061
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 19: because sometimes when the offensive line play, your desire to

1062
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 19: just drive a guy into the dirt can overcome some

1063
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 19: of your shortcomings. So whether your your technique is bad

1064
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 19: or maybe you're not as strong or whatever it is,

1065
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 19: but if your will to finish is greater than his

1066
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 19: will to finish, then they can sometimes make up for that.

1067
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 19: And you can see a lot of that strain with

1068
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 19: the offensive line and finding these guys so space to run.

1069
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 19: And that's why I love and then with Anthony Bradford,

1070
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 19: you know, I think you know, it's like I said,

1071
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 19: it's easy to find the plays where it doesn't look good,

1072
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 19: but he has been playing well. And coach McDonald isn't

1073
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 19: a guy who just throws out compliments just to throw

1074
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 19: out compliments. He's kind of a no nonsense kind of

1075
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 19: a guy. When he says that he that he's planned

1076
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 19: better and they and they like word to say. I

1077
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 19: trust him and I believe him. It doesn't mean that

1078
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 19: with Sundale back, they may not, you know, just see

1079
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 19: what it looks like to switch some things up. But

1080
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 19: but I do think that he's playing some good football

1081
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 19: and when he and when he's on, dude, he is

1082
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 19: a very powerful athletic, mean, nasty dude that can that

1083
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 19: can move three hundred pound men like he's tossed in paper.

1084
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 9: Hey, ray, the I think the one way, well, there

1085
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 9: are a couple of ways, but the easiest way for

1086
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 9: the Colts to stand in this game is to obviously

1087
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 9: establish a run game and allow Jonathan Taylor just to

1088
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 9: go crazy. When you are a man that's or a

1089
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 9: team that's underman and doesn't have the arsenal that the

1090
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 9: other team has and what does the run game do?

1091
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 9: What can the run game do for this team? And

1092
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 9: a forty four year old Philip rivers.

1093
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 19: Well, first of all, I'm going to tell you about like,

1094
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 19: as an offensive lineman, as much as you don't want

1095
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 19: the quarterback to be hurt, you're kind of excited because

1096
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 19: in this type of game, they're going to say this

1097
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 19: is going to be on the offensive line. The success

1098
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 19: for the Colts is going to be determined how well

1099
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 19: the offensive line plays, especially running the football, because if

1100
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 19: they can't run the football, they're gonna have no offense

1101
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 19: at all. And so the cool thing about running the

1102
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 19: football is that you get to express your physicality. You

1103
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 19: get to you get to go try to steal the

1104
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 19: will of another man, and you do that by being physical,

1105
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 19: punching them in the mouth time and time and.

1106
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 21: Time and time and time and time and time again.

1107
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 21: And then when you drive them into the ground, you

1108
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 21: might punch them in the mouth again while they're on

1109
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 21: the ground, and so you get to be mean and

1110
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 21: nasty the reason why you start even playing this game.

1111
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 21: And so to me, that's gonna be the challenge for

1112
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 21: the Seahawks. Will the will the defensive line be ready

1113
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 21: to match this uh, this responsibility that the Coast offensive

1114
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 21: line is going to carry into this game because the

1115
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 21: game is going to hinge on them creating space for

1116
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 21: Jonathan Taylor to run the football. And if they get

1117
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 21: because if they get that going, UH, that's the quickest

1118
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 21: way to me to to to steal the energy and

1119
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 21: the and the uh and the all that effort out

1120
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 21: of defensive linemen is when you're running the football. When

1121
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 21: I played for the Lions or even here with Seaws

1122
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 21: with Chris Warren, you know, I've played against some dudes

1123
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 21: that really like to get after the quarterback and you

1124
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 21: can see them tapping the top of their helmet, which

1125
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 21: is like the universal sign for like I need a

1126
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 21: break when you're running the football. Well they want, I

1127
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 21: mean some of the best that ever play. Hall of

1128
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 21: Fame dudes that just want to rush the ball on

1129
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 21: you rush the quarterback on third down. I see them

1130
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 21: wanting to get out of the game when you're running

1131
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 21: that thing for four or five yards to carry and

1132
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 21: your running backs got to carry it twenty or thirty times,

1133
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 21: Like they don't want any part of that. Like it's

1134
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 21: a snot bubble kind of game. And so I think

1135
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 21: the if the if the Seahawks defensive front isn't ready

1136
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 21: to match that, then you might see the Coats find

1137
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 21: a way to hang around at least make it interesting

1138
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 21: with the running game, because Jonathan Taylor can can obviously

1139
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 21: do some damage. If you get the running game going,

1140
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 21: you get playoffs.

1141
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 19: And pass all that other kind of stuff. So they're

1142
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 19: gonna have to shut that down quick fasten in a hurry.

1143
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 4: Well maybe maybe a snop bubble game, but certainly on

1144
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 4: a rainy Sunday at Loomin. You can hear more from

1145
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 4: Ray Roberts on the Seahawks pre and postgame show.

1146
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: Thanks big Ray, Yep, you have a good one. Have

1147
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: a good one, all right?

1148
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 4: Still to come coming up at one thirty, about twenty

1149
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 4: minutes from now, we're going to learn a bit more

1150
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 4: about the Colts.

1151
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 2: Practice for them started. It might already be over it.

1152
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 4: It started now about two and a half hours ago,

1153
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: so I'm guessing we might get some updates sometime before

1154
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 4: James Boyd joins us. If nothing else, will be able

1155
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 4: to ask James at one thirty about the latest on

1156
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 4: whether or not Philip Rivers is starting what he thinks

1157
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 4: could happen a few other injuries. We're tracking for that

1158
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: team as well, and come up next, the voice of

1159
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 4: the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, back.

1160
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,919
Speaker 3: To the huddle only on the home of the Seahawks,

1161
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: Seattle Sports.

1162
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: See Rabel joining us right now, Raves, how's it going?

1163
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 7: Oh?

1164
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 5: What is this thing? All?

1165
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: Do we have you? Okay? We got you, We got you.

1166
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 2: We were.

1167
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 4: That's what it was. We were earlier talking with well Aguins.

1168
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 4: We had Julian Love on, but I'm in and Bump

1169
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 4: also made this point. I kept asking everyone, Hey, how

1170
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 4: do you prepare to face a quarterback that hasn't played

1171
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 4: in five years? And all of them responded a version

1172
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 4: of will you play your own game? Like you ultimately

1173
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 4: stay true to kind of who you are and what

1174
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 4: you like to do rather than adapt too much to them.

1175
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 4: Is that kind of how you see this one too?

1176
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 20: Yes, sort of what I would do if I was coach,

1177
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 20: I would go out there and I'd put Lawrence Welk

1178
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 20: on the music playing out on the field, and you know,

1179
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 20: have everybody dressed in real baggy bell bottoms and have

1180
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 20: a fu manchuw and just to kind of get in

1181
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 20: the field of you know, what you're going to be

1182
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 20: dealing with a guy that old. The guy has got grandchildren.

1183
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 20: For crying out loud, He's playing in a National Football

1184
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 20: League game? Are you kidding me?

1185
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 5: Rabel? Do you think you could catch a pass in

1186
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:52,280
Speaker 5: the NFL?

1187
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 20: Are you kidding even catch my breath, let alone catch at.

1188
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 7: Going to be a lots of old man jokes during

1189
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 7: this game.

1190
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and you.

1191
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 6: Know what about it.

1192
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 20: He will probably go out there and you know, he'll

1193
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 20: hit some passes and he'll he'll play fine. He's you know,

1194
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 20: but he's also going to be playing against one of

1195
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 20: the top three defenses in all of football. Uh. And

1196
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 20: he hasn't taken a snap under center or a real

1197
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 20: game since two thousand or yeah, twenty twenty, So I

1198
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 20: think the odds are stacked a little more in our favor.

1199
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 20: If I had to guess, I admire him for doing this.

1200
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 20: I don't know that it's the greatest idea that the

1201
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 20: Colts have ever had, but uh, you know, listen, if

1202
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 20: it sounds good to you, go for it.

1203
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's got me by four years, Rabe. So and

1204
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 9: I couldn't imagine getting out there right now, so good

1205
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 9: good for him. But he plays a different position. He

1206
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 9: ain't going across the middle against these backers or whatnot.

1207
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 9: But yeah, you said, it's all about the Seahawks, right,

1208
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 9: it's uh, I forgot who we interviewed. It said, he's

1209
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 9: a it's a nameless opponent at this point as far

1210
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 9: as the quarterback spot. So when you are this defense,

1211
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 9: you do realize you have an older guy back there.

1212
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 9: But what do you need to see this defense do?

1213
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 9: Is anything special? Is it just fundamentals? Is there something

1214
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 9: that's missing so far because we've sent a lot, we

1215
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 9: sent a lot for this defense.

1216
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'd say we want to see what we have

1217
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 20: seen thus far and just keep it going, you know,

1218
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 20: you know, and they all of us who've played, No,

1219
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 20: the most difficult thing is to keep something going. It's

1220
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 20: one thing to do it once or twice, but it's

1221
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 20: something else to have that consistency to do a game

1222
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 20: in and game out or for you know, a play

1223
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 20: in a playout, you know, first half to second half,

1224
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 20: so to go out there and play your game. I

1225
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 20: agree with all of what you guys have said. It's

1226
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 20: about the Seahawks. It's about what they do. And just

1227
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 20: because Philip Rivers is back there, it's not going to

1228
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 20: change what ad and what might call defensively out there.

1229
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 20: They may see him as being a little more of

1230
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 20: a statue than say a young guy like a rookie quarterback,

1231
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 20: But then this statue knows a hell of a lot

1232
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 20: of football, and he's played a lot, and he's made

1233
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 20: a lot of passes, a lot of completions, a lot

1234
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 20: of touchdown throws. So it's just got to be about you.

1235
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 20: If you're doing what you do, then you have every

1236
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 20: reason to think that you can continue to play as

1237
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 20: well as you have. And the other part of the

1238
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 20: other half of that is getting both sides of the

1239
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 20: football to do what they're supposed to do all the time. Offense,

1240
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,760
Speaker 20: I'd like to see the offense start a little faster,

1241
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 20: you know, wait until the second half to really get

1242
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 20: rolling last week against Atlanta. But boy, once we did

1243
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 20: get rolling, we sure rolled. So I think that Mike

1244
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 20: is always going to go into a game, whether it's

1245
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 20: against Matthew Stafford or Bart Starr, just get ready to

1246
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 20: go in and play and do what you do.

1247
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 4: God imagine if the Packers brought in a player from

1248
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 4: twenty thirty years ago. There shouldn't be a limit on

1249
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 4: when you could bring a player back. I don't think

1250
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 4: Bump and I were asked that question earlier. They said,

1251
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 4: should be a limit on how long someone can be

1252
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 4: retired before the NFL brings it back, and we said, no,

1253
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 4: go look at players who are gone for ten years.

1254
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 20: I go check out there's I'm sure there's a couple

1255
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 20: of senior citizens' homes and near in and around Washington,

1256
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 20: Wisconsin that there's a bound to be a former Green

1257
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 20: Bay player or something in there. Grab them, see what

1258
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 20: you can get out of them.

1259
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 8: What's they see what you can do?

1260
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 4: A great question for me. I know I'm asking this

1261
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 4: is kind of a sin in football. I'm not looking

1262
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 4: past this game so much as I would like to

1263
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 4: ask a question about the Rams. It's going to be

1264
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 4: a short turnaround, it's going to be a short week.

1265
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 4: Is there something in particular from the offense that you

1266
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 4: think would or should make fans even more.

1267
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 2: Confident going into that game against the Rams?

1268
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 4: So something that they could do on Sunday against the

1269
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 4: Colts where you think this boat's well for Thursday.

1270
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,919
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'd like to see that running game really get

1271
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 20: rolling in the first half. You know, we've run the

1272
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 20: ball pretty well the last five or six games. And

1273
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 20: when you look at the total, you know all all

1274
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 20: the guys rushing and the totals and the number of times.

1275
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 20: I think sometimes we get hooked on let's see if

1276
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 20: canine can run for one hundred and twenty yards or whatever.

1277
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 20: But the bigger part of it, I think is how

1278
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 20: consistent are you running the ball? How much do you

1279
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 20: go to that? Well, you know, a two or three

1280
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 20: yard game, Keep moving those sticks. Pretty soon you're looking

1281
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 20: at a third and two, third and three instead of

1282
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 20: a third and eight or nine, and that's a lot

1283
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 20: easier to convert the third and two. So keep and

1284
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 20: Clint Kubiac has showing the propensity to do this, To

1285
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 20: run the ball, keep after it, and eventually things are

1286
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 20: going to start to break. I think if we can

1287
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 20: run the ball more more successfully earlier in the game,

1288
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 20: I think it gives you a little more of an advantage,

1289
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 20: first of all against the Rams. Although we don't want

1290
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 20: to look ahead, but I want to keep Matthew Stafford

1291
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 20: on the sidelines as much as possible. The best opportunity

1292
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 20: of the Rams have to win is when he's on

1293
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 20: the field throwing the ball to Puka and all those guys,

1294
00:54:57,360 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 20: So keep him on the sideline. Then the way you

1295
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 20: do that is control clock. The way you do that

1296
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 20: is to run the football, control the time of possession,

1297
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 20: score some points when you have opportunities. Uh, and that's

1298
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 20: just you know, old fashion football. That that old football

1299
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 20: player and that senior citizens home outside of Green Bay

1300
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 20: will tell you the same thing.

1301
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 7: Hey, Rabes, We've been watching this and it's it's been

1302
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 7: kind of gradual, so it kind of sneaks up on

1303
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 7: you all the plays that they have made on special

1304
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 7: teams and you know, we saw you know, it was

1305
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 7: on display this last week with the kickoff return and

1306
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,919
Speaker 7: then the block kick. But that's their second block kick.

1307
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 7: They got a punch out from Brandon Peeley in Week

1308
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 7: nine with the Commanders. I mean, it's just been one

1309
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 7: thing after another, and you know, touchdowns being scored and

1310
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,479
Speaker 7: block block kicks and everything. I mean, it's just it's

1311
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 7: it's really I don't remember a year like this where

1312
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 7: special teams meant so much to the Seahawks.

1313
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, you're right, Dave. And it's and it is

1314
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 20: important in that it's fully a third. I mean, we

1315
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 20: keep talking about it. Offense, defense, special teams, but it

1316
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 20: is fully a third and the opportunity to do things

1317
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 20: and have that kind of hidden yardage that we talk

1318
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 20: about out of special teams. You block a field goal, okay,

1319
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 20: there's there's not only a first down that he didn't

1320
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 20: make because of your defense, but there are points kept

1321
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 20: off the board, and then where do you get that ball,

1322
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 20: what kind of field position for your offense. All that

1323
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 20: stuff is kind of hidden when you when unless you

1324
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 20: really look at it. And the same thing with a

1325
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 20: you know, one hundred yard kickoff return, there's an entire

1326
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 20: series that your offense didn't have to go out there

1327
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 20: and beat up guys, and yet you still got seven

1328
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 20: points out of the deal. So yeah, it's hugely important.

1329
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 20: Special teams are and our guys, I think are coached

1330
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 20: as well as anybody in the league and really have

1331
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 20: a great understanding and you know, you look at some

1332
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 20: of the talent in those positions. Rashid I can think

1333
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 20: of specifically that he's just you know, he's like a

1334
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 20: big play waiting to happen. So the more times that

1335
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 20: they can get the ball in his hands in those

1336
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 20: kinds of situations, I think, you know, the the blockers

1337
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 20: have proven that they can do their job. And again,

1338
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,760
Speaker 20: the better teams in the league, those teams that are winning,

1339
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 20: that's what they do. They do all three phases of

1340
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 20: the game. So they're all pretty good in special teams too.

1341
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: Boys of the Seahawks. Steve ra Abel kind enough to

1342
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: join us for the huddle.

1343
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 8: Thanks Rabes, Rabes, Hey do you see you?

1344
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 5: Pope?

1345
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 4: All right, so we're gonna learn even more about where

1346
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 4: the Seahawks are coming up at one forty five with

1347
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 4: John Boyle. If you guys have questions, let us know.

1348
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 4: And before we get to that an opponent preview, let's

1349
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 4: learn where things stand with Philip Rivers and the Colts.

1350
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 4: Coults reporter for the Athletic James Boyd joining us.

1351
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 3: Next, back to the huddle, only on the home of

1352
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, Seattle Sports.

1353
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 4: All right, stepping over enemy lines, learning a little bit

1354
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 4: more about the week fifteen opponents, the Indianapolis Colts, with

1355
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 4: Colts reporter for the Athletic James Boyd joining us right now.

1356
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: James, how's it going.

1357
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 6: It's going well, and it's going wild, say the least.

1358
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 4: HI, get on, imagine the news cycle and you know

1359
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 4: exactly where I'm starting. I actually saw you tweet out

1360
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 4: an update about forty five minutes ago that Riley Leonard

1361
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 4: was a full participant in practice for the second Street day.

1362
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 4: When I first saw the Philip Rivers news, I fully

1363
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 4: assumed Shirley Rivers will not be starting. Surely this is

1364
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 4: just in case Riley can't go. But it's seeming more

1365
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 4: and more like that's not actually the So what's the latest.

1366
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: What's happening?

1367
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would think that Philip Rivers starts Sunday in Seattle,

1368
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 6: as crazy as that sounds. He is two practices in

1369
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 6: from a five year hiatus from the NFL. But the

1370
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 6: part that really got me, you all was Shane Stiken yesterday,

1371
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 6: who notoriously says nothing in his interviews. He was giddy

1372
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 6: talking about Philip Rivers, and I fouled, asked, is he

1373
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 6: here to play football? I get that he's mentored Riley

1374
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 6: Leonard and he said absolutely. And then when he was

1375
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 6: followed up and asked, okay, well, if Ryle Leonard is healthy,

1376
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 6: is he still your starting quarterback seeing as he was

1377
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 6: the backup for the last several weeks. And Shane said,

1378
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 6: we'll see, we'll work through that. So it sounds like

1379
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 6: they're giving this serious thought. And if the order of

1380
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 6: operations leads us to believe anything in practice, the guy

1381
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 6: taking the first snaps in every he's real is Philip Rivers.

1382
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 5: That's that's amazing.

1383
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 7: So yeah, I haven't. I mean a lot of teams

1384
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 7: are looking at him, as far as you know, looking

1385
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 7: at I mean, the best you can do is look

1386
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 7: at We had Julian Love in here. He said that

1387
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 7: they're looking at his actual game tape and everything, but

1388
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 7: just how does he look in general? I know a

1389
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 7: lot of people are saying, well, he's probably blown up

1390
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 7: a little bit, but he's been coaching high school football

1391
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 7: and things like that, so you know, as far as

1392
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 7: that part goes, what are you seeing from him?

1393
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 6: I will say this, it's always funny to have these

1394
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 6: sorts of signings happen. And the joke that I always

1395
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 6: make is whenever you hear a guy say either I'm

1396
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 6: in the best shape since whatever, or I'm in the

1397
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 6: best pipe of my life, I'm always thinking to myself, yeah,

1398
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 6: that might not be the case here. Either come out

1399
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 6: of retirement or you're injured. And Philip didn't say that himself,

1400
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 6: but you know, sources and those things said it form

1401
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 6: and I looked at him and I was like, yeah,

1402
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 6: you're not in the best shape of your life. You're

1403
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 6: not in the same word five years ago. And that's

1404
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 6: no problem. He's forty four. I would imagine that's what

1405
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 6: happened when you get to that age, right, But I

1406
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 6: can tell you this, He's been around the game a ton.

1407
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 6: The joke around here also is that he runs a

1408
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 6: similar version of the Coats offense within his high school

1409
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 6: his sons high schools team's offense as their coach. So

1410
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 6: him and Shane Stikeen are very, very tight. They talk

1411
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 6: on a weekly basis and have for years. They spent

1412
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 6: eight years together out with the Chargers on the West Coast,

1413
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 6: so they're very familiar with each other, and the coach

1414
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 6: believe that his mental fortitude and his ability to grasp

1415
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 6: the offense will help him as he re enters this game.

1416
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 6: So good luck with that, because I still think Father

1417
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 6: Time is rather undefeated.

1418
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, never lost the game that Father Time. I want

1419
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 9: to focus on Riley. If I'm Ryley, I'm this young

1420
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 9: rookie out of a Notre Dame, I get an opportunities.

1421
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 5: Last week, I played decent football, and yet they.

1422
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 9: Don't trust me enough to bring in, so they bringing

1423
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 9: this forty four year old.

1424
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 5: What does that say about Riley? And what do you

1425
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 5: think that does for his mental.

1426
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 6: I think, just bluntly speaking, they're saying, we don't think

1427
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 6: we can win with you, because the whole idea, the

1428
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 6: way it was framed to us, was Daniel Jones towards

1429
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 6: Achilles Riley. Leonard has a knee injury, we're not sure

1430
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 6: if he'd be able to go, and we're bringing in

1431
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers. Still crazy, but I'm like, Okay, you're out

1432
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 6: of quarterbacks. Anthony Urchison is not available, he's on injured reserve,

1433
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 6: so your only other option would have been Brett Rippon,

1434
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 6: who's only got four stars in his career NFL joining.

1435
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 6: I get that, But now that Riley has been a

1436
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 6: full participant in practice for two straight days and he's

1437
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 6: trending towards being available and you're still saying, well, way

1438
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 6: all are options, that makes me think that you just

1439
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 6: didn't think he was good enough to go out there

1440
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 6: and give you a chance, which that kind of things

1441
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 6: for him. He has been there back up since Week six,

1442
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 6: and I thought he played fairly well last week. The

1443
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 6: stat line all betells the full story. He had an

1444
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 6: interception that really it was like a tie. It was

1445
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 6: kind of like a jump ball in basketball. I thought

1446
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 6: it should have been a first down completion, and then

1447
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 6: he had a touchdown called back on a very weak

1448
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 6: PI call. I promise I'm not a homer because trusting

1449
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 6: I'd not believe in the Colts this week at all.

1450
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 6: But I thought to pick you back last week, so Riley,

1451
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 6: he said on the ten. And he didn't make it clear,

1452
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 6: but the first words out of his mouth yesterday were

1453
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 6: this is weird. And he's been mentored by you know,

1454
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers in all of the above, but Philip didn't

1455
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 6: fly from Alabama out here, told the clipboard and wear

1456
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 6: a headset. He wants to play.

1457
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 20: That's very clear.

1458
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: We're all expecting to see a lot of Jonathan Taylor

1459
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 2: in this one. I'm curious.

1460
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor obviously incredibly talented, great season, leading all running backs,

1461
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 4: et cetera, but yards per average is down over the

1462
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 4: last three weeks. I'm not going to include the Atlanta

1463
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 4: game because I was absolutely unreal with two hundred and

1464
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 4: forty four yards. But what's going on with Jonathan Taylor.

1465
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 4: Is it just that the pass game, you know, took

1466
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 4: a hit and there's you know, facing loaded boxes. What

1467
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 4: exactly is happening to have a little bit of a

1468
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 4: downturn there for him? Yeah, I think.

1469
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 6: Teams were trending towards Okay, we can't let this guy

1470
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 6: keep going off. He's obviously a very talented player, in

1471
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 6: the running for Offensive Player of the Year and at

1472
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 6: one point in time in the running for MVT A whay,

1473
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 6: he's dropped off in that regard. So I thought over

1474
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 6: the last month they were saying, okay, well, dare Daniel

1475
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,479
Speaker 6: Jones to beat us, because we believe he'll regress more

1476
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 6: than the running back. And that was the case, even

1477
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 6: though Daniel Jones, Goes thought, played fairly fine, giving the

1478
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 6: guy was playing with a broken leg, you know, the

1479
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 6: last couple of weeks. But on top of that, they

1480
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 6: still felt like, Okay, we know JT is a former

1481
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 6: first team All Pro, Daniel Jones, for as much as

1482
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,439
Speaker 6: you've resurrected your career here, you're still not good enough

1483
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 6: to put that much fear in us. Well, we won't

1484
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 6: stack the box. And so I thought that the team's

1485
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 6: kind of figured him out a little bit because their

1486
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 6: offense really took a huge dip. And then if you

1487
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 6: pair that with the arrival of Philip River, who might

1488
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 6: be even more immobile than the broken leg, you know,

1489
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 6: Torn Achilles, Daniel Jones, you know, and don't disrespect Daniel Jones.

1490
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 20: Because the do gate everything.

1491
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 6: Some dude. I actually think that he gets a bad

1492
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 6: rap for what happened in New York with the Giants. However,

1493
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 6: Phili Rivers ain't moving too much better, so I would

1494
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 6: expect to see Yawks and stack the box again and

1495
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 6: for JT to be held below one hundred yards for

1496
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 6: what will be the fifth time in six games. Did

1497
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 6: you talk about the Atlanta game that's the only game

1498
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 6: in the last month or so where he's gone over

1499
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 6: one hundred yards?

1500
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 7: Hey, James, you know, I would say if somebody asked me,

1501
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 7: you know, who's who's playing really well but his numbers

1502
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 7: don't really reflect it, it would be Devin Witherspoon. You know,

1503
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 7: he's not he's not killing it as far as stats,

1504
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 7: but if you watch him play, he's just electric. Who's

1505
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 7: the guy like that on the cult of this Colts team.

1506
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 6: That's a really good question. I would say, if you're

1507
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 6: looking from a defensive perspective, and he has a few

1508
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 6: of the stats to back it up. But cam Byam

1509
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 6: I think has been a great addition for this team

1510
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 6: at free safety. I believe he has three interceptions this year,

1511
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 6: a lot of crazy these dances. He always shows us

1512
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 6: what he's working on and then he goes up there

1513
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 6: and makes a play and then usually you have to

1514
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 6: google or search, Okay, what choreographed the dance scene? Is this?

1515
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 6: What movie is that from? So he's a fun player.

1516
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 6: He's somebody who I think can flipped this game if

1517
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold turns the ball over and trust me, the

1518
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 6: Colt season turnovers to help themselves pull off the impossible.

1519
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 6: It feels like over at in Seattle. So that's one player.

1520
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 6: And then on offense for the Coat, one guy who's

1521
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 6: underrated in my opinion, will probably have to be Josh Downs.

1522
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 6: He's had a down year this year because of the

1523
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 6: arrival of Tyler Warren. They both kind of do similar

1524
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 6: things in the middle of the field. But I think

1525
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 6: if you ken in on Tyler Warren, Josh Downs is

1526
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 6: one that could still make a couple of plays down

1527
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 6: the field and help move the change, but again that

1528
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 6: all comes down to the quarterback as well and how

1529
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 6: much he can get quickly back on task with these

1530
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 6: wide receivers. He's played with one before, Michael Pittman Junior.

1531
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 6: He caught a first touchdown pass from Phillips back in

1532
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 6: twenty twenty, but the rest of the offense most of

1533
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 6: these guys have not played with him.

1534
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 9: Hey, got about it about a minute left. What's the

1535
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 9: status on Braden Smith?

1536
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 6: Braden Smith did not practice for a second straight day

1537
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 6: due to concussion, so I would not think that he's

1538
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 6: going to be available come Sunday. So if he were

1539
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 6: not able to go, it will be Jayalen Travis, the

1540
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 6: rookie starting at right tackle.

1541
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 4: Okay, he covers the colts for the athletic It's James boy, James.

1542
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 2: This has been fun.

1543
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 5: Thank you, James, Thank you.

1544
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 6: We'll see what happens. Y'all pray for field please.

1545
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 2: Well, thank you James.

1546
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 7: All right, I haven't heard that one from an opponent.

1547
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 2: Brea pray for this quarter.

1548
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 4: This is one of the This is officially the weirdest

1549
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 4: game situation I can remember going in.

1550
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 2: I was gonna say one of but we've had.

1551
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 9: Back us before. But they're like young, you know, you

1552
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 9: never know what's gonna happen. Colt McCoy came in here,

1553
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 9: Wolford came in.

1554
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 4: Were you just like, even outside of backups, you'll have

1555
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:55,959
Speaker 4: games you go into where there's just kind of weird

1556
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 4: storylines or it's interesting things.

1557
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 2: This is the weirdest Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

1558
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 7: Mean the Seahawks, I guess did it was it twenty

1559
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 7: nineteen where they brought in Marsham? Oh yeah, and Turbo

1560
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 7: too that year.

1561
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a year they brought in Agent Peterson two. Yeah,

1562
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 5: that's right.

1563
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean it's it's kind of interesting. But

1564
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 7: this is the biggest name and the most years, you know,

1565
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 7: as far as the lapse there were.

1566
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 5: He was retired.

1567
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 4: All right, Let's check in on the Seahawks with John

1568
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 4: Boyle joining us in five.

1569
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Back to the Huddle only on the home of the Seahawks.

1570
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 4: Seattle Sports Shox reporter John Boyle joining us now and

1571
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 4: Boyle Stephen Holder, who covers the Colts, said, two days

1572
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 4: in a row and my time in the building this

1573
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 4: week has left me only more convinced. Philip Rivers is

1574
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 4: this week starting quarterback. It isn't difficult to tell who

1575
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 4: a team is preparing to start and that player is

1576
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 4: Rivers period. We were also joined by James Boyd if

1577
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 4: the Athletic he covers the Colts, and he ended it

1578
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 4: by saying, pray for Phil. It's just really funny. We

1579
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 4: were talking a bit during the break about even talking

1580
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 4: about this game. I feel like I'm doing it a

1581
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 4: little too lightheartedly.

1582
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 2: But it's because I have such a hard time believing.

1583
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 2: Shame on me.

1584
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 4: Maybe that a forty four year old Philip Rivers. I

1585
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 4: think he can mentally have a command of the offense easily.

1586
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 4: He's a future Hall of Famer who just made himself ineligible.

1587
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, true, yeah, Actually, however, he is a future

1588
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, but I doubt what his body will

1589
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 4: be capable of, and against this defense in particular, I

1590
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 4: think that that toll adds up quickly.

1591
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 2: But I don't know. Maybe I am being too Yeah,

1592
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 2: I just.

1593
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1594
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 17: There's this part of me that's just watched him have

1595
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 17: too many good games against the Seahawksy granted it was

1596
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 17: a decade ago, but man, that guy when he's on

1597
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 17: is so good and he's you know, he will know

1598
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 17: this offense is basically what he did in San Diego

1599
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 17: and apparently it's what he's running in high school.

1600
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, you wonder, you know, what's he got in the tank?

1601
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 8: What's his arm like?

1602
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 17: But you know, they they liked it enough to you know,

1603
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 17: they saw him throw Monday and they like it enough

1604
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 17: for this to be viable options. And so it's I mean,

1605
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 17: it's a fun story. Is somebody who's about the same age.

1606
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 17: I'm all offended how we're talking about this guy like

1607
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 17: he can barely walk. But hey, you know he has

1608
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 17: a grandfather, which I'm nowhere near, so I'll give him

1609
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 17: credit there.

1610
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 4: I mean, considering how we talk about like thirty year

1611
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 4: olds or athletes, it's he's a dinosaur born in ninety six.

1612
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 8: It's a miracle he's even walking.

1613
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 7: Is he the one where Rabel screamed out Bruce? No,

1614
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 7: wasn't that against.

1615
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 8: The Philip Rivers? I don't remember, but my all time

1616
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 8: favorite cat because that was that was a wild back.

1617
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 7: So, I mean, you know, from what you're understanding talking

1618
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 7: to the players and everything. We talked to Julian and

1619
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 7: he's like, yeah, we're looking at it. You know, his

1620
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 7: tape from when he played. But yeah, what are some

1621
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 7: of the reactions that you're that you're getting from the players.

1622
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean I think most guys kind of like fans,

1623
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 17: are surprised by it. First of all, you know, the

1624
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 17: guys have played in five years and he is forty four,

1625
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 17: and uh there's also I think just a lot of

1626
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 17: respect for his game. And I think most of the

1627
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 17: guys in this locker room know that, you know, he's

1628
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 17: the style of player like not that he doesn't a

1629
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 17: He's not relying on his mobility. He never has been,

1630
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 17: so it's like if he can still throw the ball.

1631
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 17: He's obviously very smart. He's seen a lot of football,

1632
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 17: so you know they're not going to take this challenge

1633
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 17: lightly at all.

1634
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 5: Now.

1635
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 17: I do think, you know, they know they can't just

1636
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 17: put all their eggs in that basket. It could be

1637
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 17: right with the Leonard, who's you know, would be a

1638
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 17: much more mobile quarterback. He ran the ball a ton

1639
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 17: in college, so they got to be prepared for that

1640
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 17: as well. But I just get the sense of this

1641
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 17: defense is at a point as well as they're playing

1642
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 17: like it's not arrogance, but just be like, you know

1643
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 17: what we're gonna do, what they.

1644
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 8: Do and what we do, and they can deal with that.

1645
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 8: So I think they want to dictate terms a lot too.

1646
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: From September twenty fourteen, Bruce Servan fined eighty two hundred

1647
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 2: and sixty eight dollars for late shove.

1648
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 7: That was it and Philip was that with the Chargers.

1649
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, they that was the game where it was really.

1650
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 17: Hot, right, yeah, September Yeah, this yeah, return game got

1651
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 17: a return last week?

1652
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 5: Was that last week?

1653
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 9: As it was? It was so long ago, like four

1654
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:55,600
Speaker 9: days ago? All right, feel so long ago? Got to

1655
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 9: return last week. Toy Horden is going to be available eventually, right, we're.

1656
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 10: Assuming, I'm assuming, Yeah, do you see.

1657
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 9: Them in starting the rookie back at putting returns and

1658
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 9: keeping shaheedat the kick return.

1659
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 8: And I'm not sure what the plan.

1660
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 17: I remember before we knew that uh she or that

1661
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 17: Horton was going to be a little bit of a

1662
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 17: longer term thing, you know, I think we talked to

1663
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 17: Jay Harbaugh kind of asked, you know, what, what's the plan?

1664
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,599
Speaker 8: Then obviously they we're gonna tell us.

1665
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 17: But it started one of those great problems to have,

1666
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 17: like you either have a guy who's been a pro

1667
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 17: bowler as a returner, in his past, or you get

1668
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,040
Speaker 17: a guy who's already has a ninety five year of

1669
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 17: punt return this season as a rookie.

1670
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 8: So yeah, we'll see.

1671
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 17: You know, there could be an element of like, you know,

1672
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 17: when you bring Horton back, do you ease him back in?

1673
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 8: Is he ready to do everything?

1674
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 17: But yeah, it's you know, it's it's a good thing

1675
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 17: that you have two options.

1676
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 8: There are two really good options. But yeah, I don't know.

1677
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 8: I think you you can't have wait to see when

1678
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 8: Hortan gets back.

1679
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 2: We spoke with Julian Love earlier today.

1680
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 8: He did awesome.

1681
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 2: He said he was really happy to get back out there.

1682
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 2: I didn't realize he'd never ever ever missed a game.

1683
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's really happy.

1684
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 2: Who obviously was on a pitch count. I'd assume that

1685
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 2: goes up a bit the week.

1686
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 4: But what difference do you see on the field and

1687
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 4: woo doo players or him speak about feeling differently on

1688
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 4: the field when he's out there.

1689
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, first of all, like tons of credit

1690
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 17: to Tyocotta. I think Mike really made a point after

1691
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 17: the game of praising Tyokotta because you know, as Julian

1692
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 17: does get back, that's probably gonna cost tyakotta snaps, which

1693
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 17: is unfortunate, but yeah, you're just getting a guy who's

1694
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 17: you know, for all things, okadd did well. What Julian

1695
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 17: really has on his side is just that experience. I

1696
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 17: think you probably feel comfortable like calling a little more

1697
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 17: different stuff because he's done so many different things. He's played,

1698
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 17: you know, he's been a cornerback, he's been nickel, he's

1699
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,879
Speaker 17: played all over in this defense and.

1700
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 8: Really throughout his career.

1701
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 17: So yeah, he's just you know, he's a really savvy,

1702
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 17: smart football player. He's a playmaker, he's a leader out there.

1703
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 17: So it's just it's a great guy to get back.

1704
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 17: But again, you also got to give a lot of

1705
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 17: guy credit to the guys who've been filling in.

1706
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 7: Well, you gotta you gotta love Julian Love, right, I mean,

1707
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 7: and I don't.

1708
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 8: Know if this was it's right there in his name

1709
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 8: is a week ago.

1710
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 7: Or two weeks ago where the media department had him

1711
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 7: read something and it was basically the release that said.

1712
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 8: Yeah he was the man, he was the surprise, and

1713
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 8: that he was man. He got an emotional all that

1714
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 8: that was really cool.

1715
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I just I don't remember a better guy.

1716
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 7: We were talking to Bobo, and you know, he was

1717
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 7: talking about playing special teams and stuff like that. That's

1718
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 7: what Julian did in the beginning of his career with

1719
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 7: the Giants, you know.

1720
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 17: But he got here too, he was still playing a

1721
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 17: ton of special teams because you remember when he came here,

1722
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 17: you kind of a third safety with with Kwandery and

1723
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 17: Jamal Adams here, and he played a ton of special

1724
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 17: teams that first year, and he was also a Pro

1725
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 17: Bowl safety.

1726
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 7: But I mean, I just so admire that, and you know,

1727
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 7: maybe Bobo, you know, look at something like that and go, hey,

1728
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 7: this is the way to do it, because you know,

1729
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 7: he couldn't get on the field because there were really good,

1730
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 7: you know, safeties there. But then you know, he became

1731
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 7: a special teams captain and it was like, Okay, I'm

1732
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 7: gonna make the best of this and now just a

1733
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 7: starter and one of the better safeties in the league.

1734
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1735
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 8: No, I love his guys.

1736
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 17: I mean, obviously, it's really cool if you can be

1737
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 17: a first round pick and start every game from your

1738
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 17: rookie season.

1739
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 8: That's great if you're Gray is Able or Nicki min Worried.

1740
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 17: But it's also really cool, and you get the stories

1741
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 17: of these guys who have to grind it down special

1742
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 17: teams and kind of work their way up and then

1743
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 17: they find that success and in the case of Julian Love,

1744
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 17: you become a Pro Bowl player.

1745
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 9: Twenty two, twenty three weeks since the Hawks of alloted

1746
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 9: one hundred yard rusher, you're bringing in probably the best

1747
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 9: running back in the game right now.

1748
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 17: Have they spoken about that, Yeah, I mean they're aware

1749
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 17: of that streak, they take pride in it.

1750
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 8: Leonard Williams talked about that.

1751
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 5: A little bit.

1752
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 17: It's you know, it's not so much to the we

1753
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 17: don't want to let anybody get a hundred because of

1754
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 17: the pride of that number, but that they know, you know,

1755
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 17: being a good defense means stopping the run, and we

1756
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 17: all the cool, exotic pressures that might can throw at

1757
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 17: you and all the different things that they can do,

1758
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 17: whether it's blitzes or the you know, bluffing a blitz,

1759
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 17: all that stuff. So much of that is predicated on

1760
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 17: stopping there on first to get yourself in those passing situations.

1761
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 17: So yeah, it's something they're aware of and they're where

1762
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 17: they're facing, you know, an elite arguably the best running

1763
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 17: back in the NFL. Uh, And you know, I think

1764
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 17: we would see a lot of him, given you know

1765
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 17: the fact that they're starting either a forty four year

1766
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 17: old who's been in the game for five years or

1767
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 17: a rookie who's never started a game. So yeah, this

1768
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 17: is going to be a tough one. You're you're gonna see.

1769
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 17: I would think a lot of Jonathan Taylor.

1770
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 4: Before I ask my question for all of us, there's

1771
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 4: this great quote from Shaneesdike and who is younger than

1772
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 4: Philip Rivers, and but he's asked, have you ever coached

1773
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 4: a player who's older than you? And he's like, well,

1774
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 4: I coached him before, he goes, well, I coached him

1775
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 4: when he was older than me before. So obviously, with

1776
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 4: age everyone gets older. So it was true ten years ago,

1777
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: he is not since with.

1778
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 8: Age everyone gets older.

1779
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 2: I love that line.

1780
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 4: It's like, well, he was older, he was older than

1781
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 4: me ten years ago, so yes, he's still older.

1782
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 2: Okay.

1783
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask us a similar question that I

1784
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:38,799
Speaker 4: asked Rabes. So again, I'm not looking past the Colts.

1785
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 4: What I'm as we start thinking about the Seahawks season,

1786
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 4: as knock on wood extending far beyond Week eighteen. What

1787
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 4: could they do in this game against the Colts that

1788
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 4: would make you feel more confident as we head into

1789
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 4: Thursday night game against the Rams. By the way, a

1790
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 4: Tuesday huddle ahead of that one Wyman and then John Bump.

1791
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 7: Well, they've reached one hundred and forty yards on the

1792
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 7: ground the last five games, So to me, that's that's important.

1793
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 7: The run game is still you know, developing, and so yeah,

1794
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 7: I would I would say that I don't think it's

1795
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 7: that tall of a task against this team, but they're

1796
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 7: they're they're they're decent against the run.

1797
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 17: I was actually gonna to do the run game, but

1798
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 17: since he stole mine, I'll just take the real obvious turnovers.

1799
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 17: I mean, this offense has been good enough that more

1800
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 17: often than not this season, the turners haven't cost him you.

1801
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 17: You'll be like their zone a game, they're up big,

1802
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 17: they turnover. But all three losses, turnovers have been a

1803
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 17: big factor, whether it's the four interceptions against the Rams

1804
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 17: or both of the other two losses the forty nine

1805
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 17: ers and the Bucks. They had a potential game when

1806
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 17: you drive and on a turnover. So you know, again,

1807
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 17: in a lot of these games, They've just been so

1808
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 17: overwhelming that the Urns don't matter. But I think as

1809
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 17: you get into you know, next week against the Rams

1810
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,679
Speaker 17: or the forty nine ers in Week eighteen, or playoff

1811
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 17: games whatever, like the margins are going to tighten up,

1812
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 17: and I just I want to see them take care

1813
01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 17: of the football.

1814
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 9: I think this could be the third game in a

1815
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 9: row where they don't allow a touchdown.

1816
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 5: Maybe feel nicy, but not a touchdowns.

1817
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 4: And let me tell you what, going into a Thursday

1818
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:16,560
Speaker 4: night game allowing what nine plus maybe maybe three six points,

1819
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 4: If they allow less than a touchdown, I'm going to

1820
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 4: end it because now I'm just doing that.

1821
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 8: Now I'm trying to like.

1822
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 2: I'm walking it backwards. Matt, go ahead and delete.

1823
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 5: All of this.

1824
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 8: I'm live, can't delete anything.

1825
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 4: Make sure you're reading John's work at Seahawks dot com

1826
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 4: oil listening to Bump on the pre and post game

1827
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 4: show Whyman on the Call with Rabel.

1828
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 2: This has been the huddle
