10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: head coach of the Giants, Brian Dable. But first my

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: interview with Giants linebacker Michael McFadden. And now we're joined

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: by a Giants linebacker, Mikeah McFadden. Mikeah, how are you man?

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 4: Doing good? Doing good?

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: All right, let's look back a little bit when you

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: took a look back. Besides the team, let's talk about

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: you personally. First at the tape again San Francisco. What'd

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: you say?

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: You know?

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 5: I overall, I think, uh, defensively, we played hard, a

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 5: lot of guys flying around the field. Definitely a physical

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 5: matchup against a team like that. But yeah, I think

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 5: I think, you know, there's a lot of things to

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 5: improve moving forward, but definitely showed some good things in

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 5: that film.

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you did too. You were in the

26
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: backfield a lot. You had four tackles for loss in

27
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: the game. Your five tackles for loss is tied for

28
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: second most in the league.

29
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: Right.

30
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Why do you think you were able to knife your

31
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: way into the backfield as much as you did?

32
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 5: You know, I think we just had a good plan

33
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 5: for it that week. I think, you know, as a

34
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 5: big emphasis throughout the week, just attacked the line of

35
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 5: scrimmage and you know, obviously it being a short week,

36
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 5: we didn't get a lot of times to wrap that.

37
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 5: But you know, I think it just showed up in

38
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 5: the game and you know, being able to pull the trigger.

39
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's good to take advantage of those opportunities.

40
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: How much is that? How much of that is tape

41
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: study during the week and understanding how they're trying to

42
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: attack you so you can be in the right place

43
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: at the right time.

44
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 5: A lot of it, for sure, I think, you know

45
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 5: that comes from the coaches down to the players and

46
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 5: you know, them studying the film and us obviously watching

47
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 5: it as well and just seeing what we can diagnose

48
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 5: and where we can attack them.

49
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: And be able to make plays that set us up

50
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 4: for a good position.

51
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: This is me trying to understand growth from rookie year

52
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: to second year. Right, could you have done that last year?

53
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Were you like advanced well enough mentally and understanding the

54
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: game as a pro to be in those positions to

55
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: make those kind of plays when you were a rookie.

56
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: I think, you know, I definitely had the opportunities to

57
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 5: and they definitely presented themselves. I just don't think personally,

58
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: I don't think I was advanced enough just to know that,

59
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 5: you know, and be able to have that quick trigger,

60
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 5: because it really is a split second decision once you're

61
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: out there on the field. If you don't you know,

62
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: if you don't make that move, you know, right when

63
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: the opportunity comes, you know, the window closes. So yeah,

64
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely that experience.

65
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: How much of it is confidence too, where maybe as

66
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: a rookie you saw it and you you thought you

67
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: knew it, but you maybe didn't have the confidence to

68
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: commit to your point in that kind of quick period of.

69
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 4: Time without a doubt.

70
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: I think a lot of its confidence and just kind

71
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: of understanding where I fit in the defense and being

72
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 5: able to react and play fast and you know, no,

73
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: I have guys playing off of me, and you know

74
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 5: I'm covered up and just you know, pulling the trigger.

75
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Is that the where you think you've made the biggest

76
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: jump from from year one to year two? Kind of

77
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: now that we're three games in and you've gotten so

78
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: much playing.

79
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: Time, Yeah, without a doubt, I think, you know, the

80
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: experience and just having that year under my belt, and

81
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: you know, obviously just the off season and training camp

82
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: and getting back in the role of things, and yeah,

83
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 5: I think it's helped a lot.

84
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved you said a lot of good stuff

85
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: on tape, but I'm sure there were some plays where

86
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I was there. I could have had

87
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe two or three more those tackles for.

88
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: Loss, right, Not without a doubt, And that's kind of

89
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 5: you know, the motivation week to week. There's gonna be

90
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: good things, and there's always gonna be things that you

91
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: know you can correct and get better at. So I'm

92
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 5: definitely exciting that there's more plays left out.

93
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: You talked about this when you spoke to the media

94
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: on the Zoom call on Monday. Team has had some

95
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: mistackles this year. You're fully padded practice. We're talking on

96
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday this week, which is team Wednesday, is actually Thursday.

97
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: It's confusing with this Monday game everything switched up. How

98
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: do you guys, during the season, when you're not doing

99
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the full contact training camp type practices,

100
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: work on tackling in a fully padded practice like you

101
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: had today.

102
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's just a you know, more of

103
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 4: an emphasis.

104
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: So today, you know, Daves told us we're thudding today,

105
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: so that just means, you know, defensively, we have to

106
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: wrap and you know, keep rapping until everybody gets to

107
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: the ball and second guy an't go for the ball.

108
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 5: But you know, it's just thinking about a little more,

109
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: putting a focus on it in practice and trying to

110
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: get better at it.

111
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: Now, that's the individual part of it, right from a

112
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: team part of it. How much of it is just

113
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: getting more hats to the football so you don't have

114
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: to rely on a solo tackle to get a guy,

115
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, stuff the solo tackle. Christian McCaffery and Deeple

116
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: saying there's a reason those guys are all pros.

117
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: Right, without a doubt.

118
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know, like you said, it's guys running

119
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 5: to the ball and maybe not just assuming that that

120
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 5: guy's going to make the play, you know, springting, springing

121
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: all the way there, and then you know, if that

122
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 5: guy happens to not make it, you're right there in

123
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: position to make a play on it.

124
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: Overall, the run defense in terms of yours per carry

125
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: is kind of in the middle of the league. But

126
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I think in the first halves of some of these

127
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: games against San fran and Arizona specifically, you guys have

128
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: allowed some bigger runs. Right when you look at it

129
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: from a team perspective, what are some of the things

130
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: that you guys can do better besides being more sure

131
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: in the tackling to try to prevent some of those

132
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: issues stopping the run that you've had in the first

133
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: halves of these games.

134
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I mean obviously early in game there's

135
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 5: usually a lot of game plan stuff and you know,

136
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: teams prepared specifically, you know, for the opponent. So I

137
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: think it's just about you know, weathering that storm early

138
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 5: and and you know, trying to get off the field

139
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 5: as best we can early in the game so we

140
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: can get settled in and and kind of see what

141
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 5: they have, uh, you know, build up for us and

142
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: then as the game progresses, you know, keep playing fast,

143
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 5: keep playing strong, and.

144
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: Then you know, just get off the field when you

145
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: have the opportunity.

146
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: Sacks are an easy number to look at, but it's

147
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: a it's a team stat, right, you know. I've seen

148
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Dexter win a dozen matchups against the defensive line an

149
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman this year, but the balls out before he

150
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: can get there, right, So he wins, he does everything

151
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: he could, but the sack doesn't come. So as a team,

152
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: what can you guys do to try to turn some

153
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: of those wins upfront and pressures into sacks.

154
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's you know, I think it's for

155
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: us specifically as linebackers, just kind of getting in those

156
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: windows a little bit more. That's definitely been a focus

157
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: for us, and and getting depth in our drops and

158
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: being able to uh get in that quarterback's window and

159
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: his thrown vision. And then you know, obviously, like we say,

160
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 5: you know, the pressure is going to get there and

161
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: we can make plays that way. But I think it's

162
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: just you know, collectively, you know, kind of tighten up

163
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: all the little the little details and correcting the little things,

164
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 5: and you know that'll lead to us making big plays.

165
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: On the field, same type of theory for getting takeaways

166
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: as well. You just got to keep doing what you're

167
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: doing and they'll come.

168
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: No doubt.

169
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously, you know you want to put a major

170
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 5: focus on it, and that's punching at the ball or

171
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 5: you know, spreading to the ball for tips and overthrows,

172
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 5: or you know, just trying to get trying to get

173
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 5: around the ball.

174
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: That creates those type of opportunities. So continue to.

175
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: Do that, and that works hand in hand for getting

176
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: around the ball for tackles. Right, So I guess that

177
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: just getting more bodies to the ball is kind of

178
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: a big deal. But at the same time, is there

179
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: a worry if you're trying to punch out the ball,

180
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: maybe you're not getting the guy down as quick. So

181
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: is there a balance there between trying to get the

182
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: ball out and trying to secure.

183
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 5: The tackle without a doubt, Without a doubt, I think

184
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 5: you know, something we say is first guy, make the tackle,

185
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: second guy get the ball. So makes sense, you know

186
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: you obviously first mission is get the guy on the ground.

187
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 5: Second second objective is get that ball out.

188
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Seahawks here coming up

189
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: really explosive offense. What are some of the things that

190
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: stood out to and you watch their offense on tape

191
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: this week.

192
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you know, they definitely got a lot of

193
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: good players over there. You know, guys can you know,

194
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: hit home runs for him on on the outside. And

195
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 5: then obviously they got a really good back and Kenneth Walker.

196
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: So but he's not bad either.

197
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: No, he definitely runs really hard and you know all

198
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 5: those things we were just talking about are going to

199
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 5: come into play this week for sure, getting guys to

200
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: the ball and getting you know, really good running backs

201
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 5: on the ground. So I think first and foremost it

202
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: stopped the run and then you know, obviously get ready

203
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 5: for everything else after that.

204
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the running backs quick, because I

205
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: think Kenneth Walker is really unique. They'll design a run

206
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: to go somewhere, he doesn't always take it that way.

207
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: He'll he'll kind of hunt pack, You'll he'll bounce a

208
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. So as a linebacker, how do you

209
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: kind of adjust to what you're doing when you're playing

210
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: a running back that you know, maybe isn't that one

211
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: step in go hit the design whole type of runner,

212
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: but as instead maybe gonna try to find his own

213
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: room on a play in a more creative way.

214
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

215
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 5: You know, I had the opportunity to play against this

216
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 5: guy in college as well, and you know, he's always

217
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 5: kind of been that that, you know, sneaky get outside

218
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: back and and you know, get yards where you might

219
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: not expect them. So it's definitely, you know, we want

220
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: guys attacking the line of scrimmage as as always, and

221
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: we always want to be able to make plays in

222
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 5: the backfield. But at the same time, you got to

223
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 5: be patient. You know, if you're if you're on the

224
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: backside of a run or you know, if you're filling

225
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 5: you know, a backside cutback gap, you gotta you gotta

226
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: be pretty sharp and make sure that you know, you

227
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 5: don't ever run him because he can he can cut

228
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 5: it all the way back and you know, take it

229
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: to the house that way.

230
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna bring this back into a prior

231
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: question that I had because you talk about trying to

232
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, get off blocks and have everybody get to

233
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: the ball, But if you're that backside guy, maybe you

234
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: don't want to be super aggressive and try to go

235
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: around your block to get to the ball, because then

236
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: you're leaving a gap that he can maybe fine, right.

237
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: No, without a doubt.

238
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's definitely you know, something we've talked about, and

239
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 5: you know, it's just about being patient and being smart

240
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 5: and knowing the runner.

241
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: I liked your answer about trying to fill windows in

242
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: the past game a little bit. You know, DK Metcalf's

243
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: a large human being. He probably weighs as much as

244
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: you do as a wide receiver, right, He's huge, So

245
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: he runs with those slants. You know, he tried to

246
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: use those big body and make those plays. Tyler Lockett

247
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: likes to run those little shallow crosses and stuff. As

248
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: a linebacker. What are some things you can kind of

249
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: look for on tape for for hints or clues on

250
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: route patterns and stuff like that where you can get

251
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: in some of those lanes so Gin has to maybe

252
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: hitch one or twice on some of those quick throws

253
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: over the middle where he has to hold it and

254
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: that maybe allows you to get a sack.

255
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

256
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing for a linebacker is just,

257
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 5: you know, first off, getting depth and being able to

258
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 5: get depth so you can have vision on the routes

259
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: that that come out and then obviously have your eyes right,

260
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 5: you know, take your take your eyes to the routes.

261
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 5: You can see what's behind you first and then you know,

262
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: be able to play the routes in front of you

263
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: from there. So yeah, definitely an important part of our

264
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: game this week and something we definitely got to lock

265
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 5: in and hold in on this week, So you know,

266
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 5: excited for that opportunity.

267
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Final question, their offensive line is a mess. They've had

268
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries. Guys are in and out. I

269
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: don't think we even know on this recording on Thursday

270
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: who going to play in this game on Monday night?

271
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: So is it hard for you to scout necessarily individuals

272
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: then when you look at the offensive line or you're

273
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: looking more at the unit as a whole in their scheme?

274
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: How do you do that when you're maybe not sure

275
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: who's going to be where at any given game, when

276
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you're facing an offensive.

277
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: Line like that, Yeah, without a doubt.

278
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: I mean I think you know, you kind of look

279
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: at them as a whole and see where we can

280
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 5: attack them that way, and you know, drop things to

281
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 5: to win and have our best players win. And I

282
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 5: think that's what it's going to come down to, is

283
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 5: it's just you know, creating one on one matchups for

284
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 5: our dogs up front, and you know fill in and

285
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 5: blitzing when we when we have the opportunity on the

286
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 5: back end. But yeah, it's definitely you know, attack the

287
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage and get after him when they're in

288
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: that past game.

289
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: You mentioned Kenneth Walker, I imagine you also face Jackson

290
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Smifton jigb at some point right college career. Yeah, paying

291
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: the butt right, good player.

292
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, without a doubt for sure. Yeah.

293
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 5: He always went He always you know, had pretty good

294
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 5: games against us. And it wasn't just you guys, yeah no, no, Yeah,

295
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: it was like every week that guy was going off.

296
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: So he's a great player.

297
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Michael, good stuff. Man. Appreciate the time, best luck night.

298

316
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 7: expect from the Seahawks, were now joined by their radio

317
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 7: color analysts who played nine seasons in the NFL as

318
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 7: a linebacker for Seattle and Denver, none other than Dave Linman.

319
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 7: Davey got Lance Meto here on Giants dot Com. Appreciate

320
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 7: the time today. Hope you'll as well. Has everything on

321
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 7: your end.

322
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 8: Everything's great here, Lance, Yeah, we had a good home

323
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 8: win last week. Manners are struggling a little bit out

324
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 8: here in Seahattle.

325
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 9: But yeah, there's lots to be happy about out here

326
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 9: in Seattle.

327
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 7: Absolutely, So let's jump into the Seahawks and one of

328
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 7: the biggest storylines last season, Dave was Gino Smith, who

329
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 7: won Comeback Player of the Year. Very impressive and efficient campaign,

330
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 7: and it seems as if you look at the numbers,

331
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 7: you look at the production. I know it was a

332
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 7: tail of two halves a bit against Carolina, but how

333
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 7: fair is it to say that he's essentially picked up

334
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 7: where he's left off within this Shane Waldron offense.

335
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, coming into the season, I thought it was reasonable

336
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 9: to question.

337
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 8: Whether or not Gino would have that kind of year,

338
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 8: given that, you know, the first part of his career

339
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 8: told a different story. But he had just thrown into

340
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 8: being a starting quarterback. You know, everybody's on their own schedule.

341
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 8: Took him a little bit of time, but he's just

342
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 8: so composed and poised. And I think for Gino, one

343
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 8: of the things that is a big challenge for him

344
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 8: is that, you know, he's got he's kind of a

345
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 8: fiery guy. He's got a temper, and he has been

346
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 8: able to to be you.

347
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 9: Know, to calm himself down.

348
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 8: And you know, you mentioned the first half they couldn't

349
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 8: get anything going. They got sacked twice, Gino through an interception,

350
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 8: which was his first one. And then the second half

351
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 8: they just you know, bided their time and they were

352
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 8: able to get the offense going. And all of this

353
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 8: with really a bunch of backups that offensive line against

354
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 8: a really good front seven in Carolina, and so, uh yeah,

355
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 8: I think at one point there were four backups on

356
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 8: the offensive line when Damian Lewis got hurt, so only

357
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 8: Evan Brown was the consistent starter the entire time. So

358
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 8: to be able to get that going in the second half,

359
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 8: kind of hanging in there with the offense, I thought

360
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 8: that's they didn't do it anything different. I think they

361
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 8: just stayed at it and then they started to, you know,

362
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 8: get some touchdowns, and a lot of it had to

363
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 8: do with Gino in his composure.

364
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 7: Dave, I'm glad you brought up the game of musical

365
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 7: chairs as I like to call it, on the offensive line,

366
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 7: because that's essentially what Seattle has been going through.

367
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: Because Giants fans can relate.

368
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 7: They've been down Andrew Thomas, they've been down Ben Brettison,

369
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 7: their entire left side of the offensive line for these

370
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 7: last two games. Yet the production has suffered and struggled

371
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 7: as a result. But as you just mentioned, the Seahawks

372
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,359
Speaker 7: production has pretty much stayed steady. What do you attribute

373
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 7: to why they've been able to overcome offensive line issues,

374
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 7: which is not easy for most teams in the NFL.

375
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 8: Well, you know, the older I get, the more I

376
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 8: appreciate coaching, and you know that I think Shane Waldron,

377
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 8: you know, the second year guy, as you know, running

378
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 8: the offense, and then Andy Dickerson coaching the offensive line.

379
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 9: I think they've just been well coached.

380
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 8: And yeah, and Shane Waldron's starting to get kind of

381
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 8: in a blow with play calling, and even though they

382
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 8: had all those backups in there, they had some fairly

383
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 8: complex formations and motions and things like that. So yeah,

384
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 8: I attribute that to coaching, and then Gino's leadership really,

385
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 8: and you know, everybody just raves about Geno. Now, he's

386
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 8: a very quiet guy. I don't think I've ever talked

387
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 8: to Gino.

388
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 9: He just is. He's a very quiet dude, and he's

389
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 9: just very focused.

390
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 8: And I thought he his leadership really, you know, really

391
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 8: showed up out there, especially in the second half when

392
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 8: they you know, just stayed with it because you know,

393
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 8: if you're a starting quarterback and you know you're only

394
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 8: getting field goals in the first half, and you've got

395
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 8: this backup offensive line and you've got a rookie at

396
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 8: running back in Zach Charbone, a second year guy and Walker.

397
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 8: I could see where you would kind of lose faith,

398
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 8: but you know they I don't think it was some

399
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 8: big halftime adjustment. I think it was just sticking with

400
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 8: the plan and you know, just trusting the coaching.

401
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 7: You mentioned the two running backs, and they really bring

402
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 7: something different to the table each one of them. Walker

403
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 7: has four rushing touchdowns in three games, and we saw

404
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 7: what Sharbonay could do. He ran over a few Carolina

405
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 7: Panthers right near the goal line in the game against

406
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 7: the Panthers, So clearly he's been showing his effectiveness and

407
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 7: he showed up immediately. How much have they played into

408
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: the skill sets of those two and how much do

409
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 7: they compliment one another in terms of really the physicality

410
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 7: and power Dave that they bring.

411
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: To the table.

412
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, and actually Ken Walker is pretty powerful too. I

413
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 8: mean he can run guys over. But you know, I've

414
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 8: talked to a lot of the running backs, having been

415
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 8: a linebacker in the league and told them, hey, if

416
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 8: you run a guy over, and one of the he

417
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 8: actually Zach Sharbonay ran two guys over. One was a penalty,

418
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 8: so it didn't count. But that film still that still happened.

419
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 8: That film still goes around the league. And so if

420
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 8: you're a linebacker a defensive back, you have those two

421
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 8: guys coming at you. You don't know if they're going

422
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 8: to run over you or they're going to put a

423
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 8: move on you. And I think, you know, the difference

424
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 8: between them is that, you know, it's kind of thunder

425
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 8: and lightning a little bit. Sharbon Is is he's got

426
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 8: some shape, though, but he will run you over and

427
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 8: I love that. And then kN Walker he's more of

428
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 8: a kind of a jitterbug. I mean a lot of

429
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 8: times Rabel and I will think, you know, we were

430
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 8: talking about this the other day calling the game, that

431
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 8: there was a couple of times where you're like, oh,

432
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 8: don't do that, No, you got to go north south,

433
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden he makes it work out.

434
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 8: He breaks outside, and so kind of learning to trust

435
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 8: him that there's lots of times where he'll stop in

436
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 8: the backfield and he's still moving his feet, but Walker is,

437
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 8: you know, trying to find lanes there and a lot

438
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 8: of times you get tackled for a one yard gain

439
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 8: or a loss and he hasn't really had that happen.

440
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 8: So kind of trusting him a little bit and then

441
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 8: Sharbon is just getting going. So yeah, we'll see what

442
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 8: those two young guys. I love that they're young guys.

443
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 9: I love that they you know.

444
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: Spent second round draft choices on them, and you know

445
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 8: it's I think that's the way to go at running back.

446
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 7: One of the major issues with the Giants thus far

447
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 7: over the first three games theyve has been mistackles. They

448
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 7: actually have seventeen misstackles on just run plays according to

449
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: Pro Football Focus. The reason I bring that up, and

450
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 7: that's why I'm curious your perspective about maybe how Seattle

451
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 7: could play off of that is given the power and

452
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 7: elusiveness of the two backs you just mentioned that. I'll

453
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 7: even throw in DK Metcalf, who you know is also

454
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 7: very good at shedding tacklers. How much of a problem

455
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 7: do you think this could be for a Giants defense

456
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 7: that is having some issues in the early stage of

457
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 7: the season wrapping up guys and bringing them down based

458
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 7: on the skill set of those three guys in particular.

459
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I mean Dickay again, Yeah, he's just a

460
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 8: freakish athlete.

461
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 9: I know that could said a lot, but I really

462
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 9: liked his demeanor too.

463
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 8: I mean, he does get in some trouble every once

464
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 8: in a while, but yeah, that physicality I think really

465
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 8: it gets under the skin of opposing defensive packs. And

466
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 8: then you got Tyler Lockett who is just really shifty

467
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 8: and always seems to find the open part of the zone.

468
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 8: So I really like their offense right now. On what's

469
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 8: going on. The other thing is they're tight ends. Kobe

470
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 8: Parkinson to kid out of Stanford, who really was like

471
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 8: a big, tall wide receiver, has developed into a good

472
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 8: blocking tight end, and they have a three tight end

473
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 8: package where they're they're out there with those and they're

474
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 8: helping out a little bit with the backup tackle stone

475
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 8: foresight from big Current as far as blocking those of

476
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 8: give a little chit block before they go out into

477
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 8: their route. So yeah, there's lots of weapons for Gino.

478
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 8: You know, I really liked the tight end group with

479
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 8: Will Bisley and they didn't have him last week, but him,

480
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 8: Noah Fense, and Kobe Parkinson. I think they have twenty

481
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 8: three targets and nineteen catches, so those are nice easy throws.

482
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 8: Plus you get, you know, a formation where it looks like,

483
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 8: you know, you could run the ball.

484
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 9: And then yeah, the.

485
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 8: Big physicality of DK Metcalf the two running backs. I

486
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 8: think again, I think they're in a good spot.

487
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 7: We're talking with Dave Wyman, Seahawks radio color analyst, as

488
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 7: the Seahawks the Giants will go head to head on

489
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 7: Monday Night football.

490
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: You brought up targets.

491
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 7: We haven't mentioned Jackson Smith at Jigba, who was their

492
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 7: first round pick this year and based on the numbers

493
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 7: fourteen targets, nine receptions.

494
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: Dave.

495
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 7: I was listening to Pete Carroll speak the other day

496
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 7: and he mentioned, listen, they just have not had an

497
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 7: opportunity to get him involved as much as maybe they anticipated.

498
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 7: So what have been the early takeaways of him? And

499
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 7: how much more do you think they'll expand perhaps his

500
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 7: usage here.

501
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm glad you brought him up because I kind

502
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 8: of forgot about, right, I mean, the number twenty pick,

503
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 8: and they haven't really cracked him open yet. I mean,

504
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 8: it's not like he's gotten a ton of targets or anything.

505
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, he talked.

506
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 8: The other day about us kind of a little bit

507
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 8: of the frustration of you know, wanting to get going.

508
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 9: It feels like he hasn't really gotten a rhythm.

509
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, they haven't haven't even really thrown the ball to

510
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 8: him that much, so you know, with all those other

511
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 8: weapons and Gino. There's a clip somewhere where he's talking

512
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 8: to JSN on the sidelines and saying, hey, just be patient,

513
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 8: which really exhibits, you know, leadership, you know. But yeah,

514
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 8: I think he'll get going at some point, you know,

515
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 8: And that's kind of like that last year. I think

516
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 8: it took n Walker a while to get going and

517
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 8: then he had four or five hit a gaming against

518
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 8: the Chargers, ran for over one hundred and sixty seven yards,

519
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 8: and I think that was like game sixty seven down

520
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 8: the road.

521
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 9: So I kind of see Jaysn him developing that way.

522
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 8: I think, you know, they've got a lot of good

523
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 8: rookie Sharbonaey being one of them, and Jasn and Devin

524
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 8: Witherspoon as well, and I think it's not going to

525
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 8: be like last year, where like Reeq Willand and Kobe

526
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 8: Bryant started the first game as rookies. I think this

527
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 8: group it's just a little bit harder to get on

528
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 8: the field because John Schneider has been building such a

529
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 8: great team. So I think there's good things ahead for

530
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 8: Jackson Smith and jigbab, but it's just going to take

531
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 8: a little bit of time.

532
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 7: Good problem to have when you're trying to find ways

533
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 7: to get your first round pick on the field, and

534
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 7: that's not necessarily the primary conversation Stole. On offense, you

535
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 7: reference the corners, and I want to flip the script

536
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 7: to the defensive side of the ball, Dave, because not

537
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 7: that numbers tell the whole story, but I think you

538
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 7: could add the proper context. They're thirty first against the pass.

539
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 7: They've given up a lot of explosive plays. However, they've

540
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 7: been banged up on the back end. Jamal Adams has

541
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 7: yet to make his season debut. You mentioned Rik Wollen

542
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 7: and Kobe Bryant, who did not play last week against

543
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 7: the Panthers. I guess what I'm getting at is how

544
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 7: much are the passing defense numbers not great as a

545
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 7: result of being down key personnel over these last few

546
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 7: games here.

547
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's interesting because that was the one part of

548
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 8: the defense that they really repaired over last year. They

549
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 8: two years in a row under Ken Norton. The past

550
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 8: numbers they were number thirty one in the league and

551
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 8: last year they had finished number thirteen, So there was

552
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 8: a huge repair as far as passing yards given, the

553
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 8: problem last year was running yards and they were terrible,

554
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 8: But now they're really good against the run, they can't

555
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 8: really stop the pass. So you know, there's a guy

556
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 8: n Carl Scott who runs the past game defense and

557
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 8: he just is a brilliant guy. I think they'll get

558
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 8: it fixed. But yeah, it's just kind of a weird block.

559
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 8: You know, where really good against the run now and

560
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 8: not so great against the pass. And I think a

561
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 8: lot of it has to do with the way that

562
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 8: they're running their zone defense, you know. And look, people

563
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 8: have been running zone defense since when I played and

564
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 8: before that, and it's just a matter of executing it

565
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 8: and being a little bit stickier, I think.

566
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 9: I think also I see.

567
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 8: The linebackers not dropping to ten to twelve yards, they're

568
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 8: dropping the five yards, so there's a lot of crossing

569
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 8: patterns open.

570
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 9: So I think they'll get that fixed.

571
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 8: But as far as you know, the injuries and things

572
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 8: like that, yeah, I mean, Devin Witherston didn't play a

573
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 8: whole lot boll That kid has incredible cop and you know,

574
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 8: he's just very certain about what he does on the

575
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 8: field and defensive backwise, he got like ten guys who

576
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 8: were very versatile, including Jamal Adams, Witherspoon can play inside now,

577
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 8: Tobe Bryant can play inside now, Julian Love and Dondre Diggs.

578
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 8: I mean, there's a lot of versatility there. But they've

579
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 8: got ten guys that are really good players, including big

580
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 8: play Trey Brown who've got a concussion last week. You know,

581
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 8: he made three huge plays against Detroit on the road.

582
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 8: So they've got the right personnel. I just think it's

583
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 8: a matter of you know, if I could just identify

584
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 8: one thing, it would be zone defense. Zone defense. You

585
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 8: can't just cover patch of grass. You've got to look,

586
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 8: you know, receivers up. And I think that's been the

587
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 8: biggest challenge for them, which I think they'll get it right.

588
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 7: We were talking about Jamal Adams and I mentioned he

589
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: has yet to play because of that torn quantin that

590
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 7: he suffered in Week one. What impact, Dave, do you

591
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 7: expect him to make on Monday night to give him

592
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 7: his typical playing time. You think they're going to ease

593
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 7: him in, And also just the raw emotion of him

594
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 7: a returning to MetLife Stadium given he started his career

595
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 7: with the Jets and be you know, not wanting to

596
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 7: overdo it so much given it's been quite some time

597
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 7: since he's been back.

598
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: On the field.

599
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think they're going to ease him

600
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 8: back in, and like I mentioned, they have so many

601
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 8: different packages and guys that can play different spots that

602
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 8: it'll kind of fit into the way they want to

603
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 8: work Jamal back in.

604
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 9: He's a fantastic football player.

605
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 8: I mean, if if we get the twenty twenty version

606
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 8: of him, and there's been lots of talk, I know

607
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 8: on my radio show, people are like, he's a boss.

608
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 9: You know that was a terrible trade.

609
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 8: I don't think you're a bust if it ends up

610
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 8: being because you're injured.

611
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 9: He's just been hurt. But the way to use him

612
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 9: is up in the line of scrimmage, almost like a linebacker.

613
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 9: That's what they did in twenty twenty.

614
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 8: Is his best skill is not dropping back into a

615
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 8: deep zone, it's being up near the line scrimmage. He's

616
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 8: he's very violent with his hands, like the way he

617
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 8: shucks blocks and things like that.

618
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 9: He's like a linebacker.

619
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 8: So but I do think they're going to kind of

620
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 8: slowly work him back in because you know, he's a

621
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 8: key part of what they could do. They could be

622
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 8: so much better on defense with Jamal Adams, and he's

623
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 8: just been unavailable. I feel like he's one of those

624
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 8: guys that I feel like his body isn't strong enough

625
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 8: to support the things that he thinks, like the way

626
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 8: he reacts and he wants to make certain plays, and

627
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 8: it's like his body just doesn't stand up to it.

628
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 8: So hopefully he's ready to go, because he would be

629
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 8: a huge shot in the arm if they're.

630
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 9: Able to get him back playing all the time.

631
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 7: Well, he plays with a physicality to your point, and

632
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 7: he's got quite the motor, so sometimes the body doesn't

633
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 7: cooperate based on the x'es in tho his mindset. I

634
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 7: think that's a great point. Now, it's also a homecoming

635
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 7: for Julian Love, who you brought up. Giants fans are

636
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 7: very familiar with him. He was a versatile play in

637
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 7: the secondary. I know the sample size is still small, Dave,

638
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 7: but how have they tried to tap into his skill

639
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 7: set is both a corner and a safety. And what's

640
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 7: jumped out to you about his usage thus far?

641
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, he had such a breakout year last

642
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 8: year there in New York and you know, he kind of,

643
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 8: you know, expressed to us that he was sitting behind

644
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 8: some pretty good players the first couple of years.

645
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 9: But they really like him. He's very versatile.

646
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 8: He hasn't had he hasn't had a great year so far,

647
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 8: but I think he looks very promising. I'm really looking

648
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 8: forward to when he and Jamal Adams played together, and

649
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 8: there's been a lot of talk about that that maybe

650
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 8: that will kind of get him going. And it's not

651
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 8: like he's played poorly, it's just a you know, I

652
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 8: kind of I thought he would have a kind of

653
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 8: a breakout yere like he did last year and hasn't

654
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 8: quite been that way.

655
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 9: But you know, he's just a very smart player. And yeah, it.

656
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 8: Kind of like the rest of the defense as far

657
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 8: as pass coverage go goes, it's it's just going to

658
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 8: take a little bit of time for them to get

659
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 8: into a rhythm.

660
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 3: Now.

661
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 7: As I referends earlier, the Giants have had some movable

662
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 7: parts in their offensive line, and Daniel Jones has been

663
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 7: under a lot of pressure. We talked about the struggles

664
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 7: on the back end of the Seahawks defense, but the

665
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 7: front end has been very stingy against the run, and

666
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 7: Jaren Reid is a guy that I think is a

667
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 7: bit underrated Dave, because I mean it's not that far

668
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 7: removed from he had double digit sacks one season and

669
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 7: then I know obviously had to deal with some suspensions.

670
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 7: But what's the pass rush been like for the Seahawks

671
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 7: based on the first few games and how much of

672
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 7: a challenge do you think that front poses for a

673
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 7: Giants offensive line that has some question marks right now?

674
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, well you identified the guy a Lions. I mean,

675
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 8: Jaren Reid's been everything for that front seven. You know,

676
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 8: Bobby Wagner you could argue as well, and Jordan Brooks

677
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 8: is playing really well against the run. But yeah, Jaron Reid,

678
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 8: you know they're lining them up inside. He can rush

679
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 8: from the outside, He's very quick, and he has just

680
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 8: been home record inside there. So yeah, that's been a

681
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 8: big part of why they have I think they're still

682
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 8: two point nine per a tent or maybe it's creeped

683
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 8: up to three as far as the.

684
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 9: Run game goes. But he has been just very surprising.

685
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 8: You know, I didn't I didn't think they were going

686
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 8: to get that out of here and read and he's

687
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 8: having a great year. You know, he's blocked a kick,

688
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 8: he's got a stack and a half, got you know,

689
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 8: fumble recovery. I mean, he's just been all over the field. Yeah,

690
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 8: he's a key on that defense. And he's got kind

691
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 8: of a kind of a cravvy disposition, which I really

692
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 8: like about that. And he you know about him, and

693
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 8: he's Yeah, he's been a great leader and so it's

694
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 8: really nice happening him back.

695
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 9: Really shouldn't have you know, left in the first place.

696
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 8: They the Seahawks made him a really good deal, but

697
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 8: he wanted to go somewhere else. He was in Kansas

698
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 8: City for a while. But now he's back and he's

699
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 8: been a key to what they've been doing. They're starting

700
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 8: to get the pass rush going a little bit. And

701
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 8: then also just against i mean they just got truck

702
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 8: last year. I mean they could not stop them. There

703
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 8: were times where they just could not stop the run

704
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 8: at all. You know, they gave up two hundred and

705
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 8: twenty two yards to Carolina last year. The Raiders came

706
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 8: in here and ran all over them. So it's been

707
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 8: a big part of that that fits that repair.

708
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, one of their best rush defensive performances actually was

709
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 7: against the Giants. When the Giants visited the Emerald City,

710
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 7: they did a nice job containing Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley.

711
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see whether or not, of course,

712
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 7: Saquon plays. The other thing that's brought up, Dave, in

713
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 7: a matchup like this with Seattle coming to the East

714
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 7: Coast and you've been involved in these trips multiple times,

715
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 7: is what type of an impact that has. But I

716
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 7: think of this a Monday night game. It's much later

717
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 7: in the day, it's not an early Sunday start. How

718
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 7: much of anything do you think that plays a role

719
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 7: given the lengthy trip that the Seahawks have to entail here.

720
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 8: Well, I used to always say that, like when I played,

721
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 8: I don't remember it being a thing. It's like, you

722
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 8: know what time is it back in Seattle. I don't know.

723
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 8: I just know it's kickoff here, you know. So to me,

724
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 8: I don't think it was ever a big deal. But

725
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 8: there was a time early on in Pete and John's

726
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 8: career here where the East Coast games were a real struggle,

727
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 8: and I wish I had the numbers for you. But

728
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 8: they have done an amazing job with going three time

729
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 8: zones away or four I should say, you know, so

730
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 8: that's not really been a problem at all.

731
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 9: They've handled that really well.

732
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 8: And most of it is Pete just the way that

733
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 8: you know, he's very structured, you know, and I ride

734
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 8: on the team plane and there's a you know, there's

735
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 8: a little reminder in your seat pocket that you know,

736
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 8: this is how you should hydrate.

737
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 9: Don't sleep on the plane, wait until you get there.

738
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 8: I mean, they planned all that stuff out, and and

739
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 8: Pete has a whole bunch of nutrition people and you know,

740
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 8: the Seuss come on the road. I mean, they they

741
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 8: really do it right. So I think a lot of

742
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 8: that is coaching and you know, just and Pete just

743
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 8: preparing his team really well.

744
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 9: They do a great job.

745
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 7: Day before I let you go from a big picture perspective.

746
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 7: You look at the Seahawks three games. The first game

747
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 7: wasn't pretty against the Rams, but they've scored thirty seven

748
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 7: points in each of the last two. We saw the

749
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 7: rally in overtime against the Lions and the second half

750
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 7: explosion for twenty five points against the Panthers. What are

751
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 7: you looking back make of that Rams game? Was that

752
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: the outlier and the Seahawks are more of the team

753
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 7: we saw in the last two or it's still too

754
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 7: early in your mind to really assess where this team lies.

755
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 8: I am still wholly confused by that game. It was

756
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 8: it was, it was just so strange, and I guess

757
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 8: the bad news is it kind of came away thinking

758
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 8: did the Rams have our number? Because it's always been

759
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 8: difficult and you know with Sean McVay, so yeah, I

760
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 8: don't know. I don't know how to think about that one.

761
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 8: It was they couldn't get any pressure. I felt like

762
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 8: for Matthew Stafford, it was like running seven on seven.

763
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 8: There was never anybody in his face. He had big,

764
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 8: wide open lanes. The defense was as bad as it's

765
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 8: been in zone coverage. They had a rookie, Uka Nakua

766
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 8: I think is his name. He came in and he

767
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 8: had a huge day. So yeah, it's uh, it was confusing,

768
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 8: it really was. And they played so much better the

769
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 8: next week in Detroit. You know, they still gave up

770
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 8: lots of yardage, but they took the ball away. So yeah,

771
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 8: they went plus three in that game. And as far

772
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 8: as turnover ratio goes, the offense is really doing their

773
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 8: job because I.

774
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 9: Think Gino has the only giveaway so.

775
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's, uh, it was just totally bizarre, like to

776
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 8: the point where I'm like, I can't wait to see

777
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 8: what happens the next time we played at the Rants.

778
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 8: I mean, we'll see where they are as far as

779
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 8: health and things like that. But yeah, it's and that

780
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 8: one's always, you know, in those division matchups, it's it's

781
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 8: always kind of there's one team that's kind of a

782
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 8: thorn on your side. And I feel like now that

783
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 8: the Niners are really really good, so when you lose

784
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 8: to the Niners, you kind of get it. But the Rams,

785
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 8: I mean, they had a ton of young guys and

786
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 8: you know, it just didn't look like they were put together.

787
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 8: And Pete was really remorseful about that, Like he was

788
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 8: apologizing to the fans because the opener and the place

789
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 8: was packed and when they introduced Bobby Wagner, the whole

790
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 8: place went nuts. And then, like he said, we didn't deliver,

791
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 8: and so he was kind of worried about, you know,

792
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 8: not satisfying the fans because they were so good that day,

793
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 8: and he certainly paid them off against Carolina because they

794
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: had the eight ball starts and the crowd was a

795
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 8: huge part of it. But I thought it was funny

796
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 8: that he he was concerned that everybody was so fired

797
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 8: up and it was such a flat game. You know,

798
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 8: they just didn't get it done against the Rams, Like

799
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 8: I said, just confusing.

800
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 7: Well, to your point, the Twelves definitely showed up with

801
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 7: those eight fall starts up. Was very excited to leave

802
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 7: Seattle after a rough game like that in terms of

803
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 7: the penalties. It's Monday night football, Giant Seahawks. He's Dave Whyman,

823
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: to the head coach of the Giants, the Voice of

824
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, Bob Papa, had a chance to talk to

825
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: Brian Dable.

826
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: As were joined by the head coach of the New

827
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: York Giants, Brian Dable where Monday Night Football has the

828
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: Giants host in the Seattle Seahawks and coach, you had

829
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: a chance to play these guys last year. Obviously it

830
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 2: was a hard fought game in Seattle. What makes these

831
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll teams so difficult to deal with?

832
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think Pete's an outstanding coach and he's been

833
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 10: successful for a long time as a head coach in

834
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 10: this league and in college. And they're well prepared. They

835
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 10: do a good job with the ball security, their defenses

836
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 10: are fast and create multiple problems up front. They got

837
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 10: two good corners. You don't get horners. They got a

838
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 10: good runner, they got good receivers and a quarterback. You know,

839
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 10: it's really fit into this system well and has done

840
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 10: a great job of execution.

841
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: As you look at Gino Smith and you prepare for

842
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: him for tonight's football game. If you go back to

843
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: the start of last year, I mean, he's played lights

844
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: out thirty four touchdowns, twelve interceptions. What is it about

845
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: his game that makes him effective, especially operating in this system.

846
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like he's got firm grasp of it,

847
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 10: control of it. He's an accurate passer. He knows, you know,

848
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 10: when to take his checkdowns. He knows when to go

849
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 10: ahead and take his shots. He makes good decisions and

850
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 10: situational football, and he and he delivers the ball to

851
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 10: his playmakers on a timely fashion. So he's done a

852
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 10: really good job with his opportunity that he's had there

853
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 10: at Seattle, and he's playing good football.

854
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 2: Metcalf is obviously a very physical receiver. He's led their

855
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: team and receiving yards in the first three games. You know,

856
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 2: you had a chance to go against Deebo Samuel in

857
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: your last game. Metcalf is a guy that likes to

858
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 2: use his body. What are some of the talking points

859
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: that you use with your players and trying to defend

860
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: a guy that's his physical as Metcalf. He he's physical,

861
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: and he's fast, he's you know, he's got he's big,

862
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: he's strong and he's fast, so it's going to take

863
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: all hands on deck to cover this guy.

864
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 10: And I would say, you know, Lockett is is a

865
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 10: very very good receiver and very productive. They have a

866
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 10: good mix of you know, quickness, size, strength, and then

867
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 10: you add Jackson to the Mitch who is it was

868
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 10: very productive at Ohio State. It's a very good receiving group.

869
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would think that right being alert, I

870
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: mean there's death taxes and Tyler Lockett going deep on

871
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 2: a shot at some point. They did it with Russell

872
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: Wilson and they seem to kind of be doing the

873
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: same thing with Geno Smith. Is that Is that a

874
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: fair assessment when you think about Lockett?

875
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's it's it's more about Lockett than

876
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 10: it is who's thrown it to him. He's just a

877
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 10: he's a great route runner, he's very savvy, he's got

878
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 10: excellent speed, he knows how to set defenders up, and

879
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 10: he's been productive for a long time.

880
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 2: I think Kenneth Walker brings a physical component to the

881
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 2: run game. You know, just talk about what they try

882
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: to do running the football. Is it is it an

883
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 2: intricate run system or is it like hey, this is

884
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: what we're doing. We dare you to stop it.

885
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think every team has a variety of runs.

886
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 10: They you know, they run outside zone quite a bit.

887
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 10: But he's he can run any of the runs. You know,

888
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 10: he's exceptional player at Michigan State. You know, transfer from

889
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 10: Wake and productive. Then he goes to Michigan State and

890
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 10: that's really where he you know, he kind of took

891
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 10: off and you know, he was a fun player to

892
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,479
Speaker 10: evaluate in college, very very productive. Can run any run

893
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 10: that you ask him to run. He can bounce it,

894
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 10: he can cut it back, he can stick it in there.

895
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 10: You know, he's a heck of a football player and

896
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 10: a guy that we're gonna have to do a good

897
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 10: job of, you know, setting edges and tackling and railing

898
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 10: to the ball with. And you know, Charbonnet is a

899
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 10: young rookie player from UCLA who's a big body guy too,

900
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 10: who they'll give the ball to. They they have a

901
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 10: good they have really good skill players.

902
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your football team as we get ready

903
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: for this game. Chance to sort of reset. Having played

904
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 2: that Thursday night game, a little bit of a reboot

905
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: for your team. Were you impressed with the way the

906
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: guys came back with a little bit of time off

907
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: to kind of reset and focus on the fact that

908
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: there's fourteen games left in the season. There's a lot

909
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: of football to be played.

910
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean our focus is, you know, one week

911
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 10: at a time, So put everything you got into to Seattle.

912
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 10: You know, we have, you know, a bunch of guys

913
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 10: that are pros, that do the right thing, that prepare well,

914
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 10: that communicate, and you know that's that's a consistent approach

915
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 10: that we'll always have. So we've had a good week

916
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 10: of practice, We've prepared well, We're gonna have to go

917
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 10: out there and playing.

918
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: Coach, well, how important is it to coach to be

919
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: you know, physical at the point of attack, to kind

920
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: of get your run game going where everything then sort

921
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: of just plays off it.

922
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think each week is a is a different

923
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 10: week and how the game gets played is different. So

924
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 10: if you look at the three games we've played, they've

925
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 10: all been a little bit different. You know, you're down

926
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 10: thirty three to nothing, you're going to have to pass

927
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 10: the ball a little bit more, so, you know, being

928
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 10: balanced is important. But ultimately, you know, if we think

929
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 10: it's to throw the ball a bunch then we throw it.

930
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 10: If it's to run it, it's run it, and it's

931
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 10: executing whatever the plays that that we call in terms

932
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 10: of the game plan and how we want to attack

933
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 10: a team.

934
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: Is this where it's important to have a quarter fact

935
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 2: that's pretty steady and Daniel Jones' personality tends to be

936
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: very steady and even keel when you are struggling in

937
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: certain parts of things and not able to get into

938
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: that rhythm where you're not going to get these crazy frustrations.

939
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's the NFL. There's you know, there's

940
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 10: three teams right now that that haven't had a loss.

941
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: So you're going to.

942
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 10: Face, you know, adversity throughout a season, whether you're the

943
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 10: early part, the middle part, the end part. And it's important,

944
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 10: I think for everybody to stay level headed, to work

945
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 10: on the things that we can work on and to improve,

946
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 10: you know, throughout the week and then ultimately on game day.

947
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 10: But you know, you have to focus on the things

948
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 10: you can focus on and control, which is is just

949
