1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: It's been a while.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: It seems like it's been forever since we since we

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: played on Thanksgiving, And in regards to that, it was

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: a great performance. But I must say that's not gonna

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: do anything to help us this week. You know, we

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 2: got a great opponent and U NFC champs great, a

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: good football team, well coached, a lot of talent across

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: the board, probably the best offensive line that we've faced

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: all year, you know, and it starts up front with Kelsey.

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: I consider him to be first ballot Hall of Famer

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: outstanding player and he really makes that show go up front.

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Tremendous run game, does a great job in protection as well,

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Uh Swift, I mean their their run games. I just mentioned,

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: it's phenomenal along with Hertz. Uh, you know, it's hard

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: to stop. And then once you start talking about their

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: outside threats with Brown and Smith, tremendous threats down in

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: the field. Uh, they're great after the catch for us,

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: making guys miss. So there's no question we gonna have

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: our hands for this week. And with that, I take

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: your questions and GC Kelsey, what is it that makes

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: him just so so different and special? Definition?

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: Uh? I I just really just his uh knowledge of

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: the game. Uh.

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't know him personally, uh, but I know that

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Uh he spends a lot of time uh watching a

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: lot of tape, uh, really studying his opponent, uh, listening

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: to the TV copy, trying to get any opponents he

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: can get for his you know, uh calls adjustments and whatnot.

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: And he's just you know, phenomenal in and really putting

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: him in the best position to be successful up front.

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: You the key to the ru brotherly shove play that

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: they do. Uh. I don't know if he's the key.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: I know right now he's He's definitely uh a major

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: component of it. Definitely hard to uh defend, you know, uh,

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: based off what they do. And I was talking to

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: the coaches. The only way to defend is not allow

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: those guys to get in that position.

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Is is there a way if you drew it up

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: on paper, you know, uh attacked for stopping it, and

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: we would would be quickness from your interior.

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: You know.

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: I I think that's that's a complete study with physics

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: and you know, dynamics and everything, to be quite honest,

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: because it's about leverage, uh, you know, power and whatnot.

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: They have leverage, then they push and they shoving. So uh,

48
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: I think it's real tough right here to uh to

49
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: limit that for one yard. I mean, I mean, I

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: know it's it's funny, but you can't allow him to

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: get in that situation. We got to try to find

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: a way to win. On first and second down. I mean,

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: they operate off. I think he said, you know, first

54
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: and eight for them, you know, because it's automatic they

55
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: going forward on fourth down if it's fourth and one,

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: fourth and two because of that, knowing that if if

57
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: you get him in fourth and one or fourth, they

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: might still be going forth you have third down. Well,

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: I I I I I feel like anytime we can

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: get him in the fourth, fourth down, it's still encouraging.

61
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: You know, we still have an opportunity, you know. Uh,

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: regardless that we know that they're going forward. So uh,

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: it's something that we've talked about as a staff. It's

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: something that we definitely uh have worked on. So I'm

65
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: not gonna conceide that we can't stop it. We're gonna

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: be prepared and ready for it.

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Withdora, how has he kind.

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: Of grasped the challenge of going back and forth between

69
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 2: slot and outside and what's made.

70
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Him so successful to us.

71
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: Well, I just think you know, his ability number one

72
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: going back in the spring, uh is just number one

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: showing us that he wants to do it u and

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: has put the time and the effort in. You know

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: a lot of things that I know you guys don't see.

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: He spends a lot of time with coach Daniel Bullock,

77
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: you know, extra meetings, coming in and just really wanting

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: to understand all the nuances of that inside Nickel position.

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: He's done a tremendous job with his run fits. That

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: was one of the things that we wanted to make

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: sure that he improved on from the spring. His ability

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: to cover and play out in space. I mean, he's

83
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: one of the best guys that that we have that

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: can do that. So but in the run game, he's

85
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: a linebacker and that's what he's improved.

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: If you got you.

87
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Got five really talented young defensive backs, how do you

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: prepare them for this stage in this environment?

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Can you talk more about it this week?

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's a cliche and it's funny. I just

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: finished talking to the guys about it. You know, we

92
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: can't allow it to getting away, you know, whatever that

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: it may be. You know, I know it was throwing

94
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: earlier this week, could be snowing a raining this weekend.

95
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: You can't make any excuses the the the environment there

96
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: is hostile.

97
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: The crowd. Uh, they got uh great fans. Uh that

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: can't be an excuse. Uh.

99
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: I feel like our players uh uh has rose to

100
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: the cage in each and every time, particularly Mooney, those

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: guys Ambry's stepped up. You know, Seattle's a very tough

102
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: place to play as well, and uh, I thought those

103
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: guys handle that environment well.

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: So UH, it's not really about them.

105
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: It's about keeping the focus on us and uh going

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: to do what we need to do to win this

107
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: football games.

108
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: About Jalen Hurdson was the key to defending him.

109
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: I think number one just as a person. I don't

110
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: know him personally, so don't don't take this wrong. I

111
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 2: think he just shows a lot of poors. Very confident.

112
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: You can see that over the years and what he's

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: been able to accomplish. Has a great command of that offense,

114
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: and as we've seen the last couple of weeks, Uh,

115
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: he has the ability to never be out of it.

116
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: He can bring those guys back.

117
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: I think they do a great job in really putting

118
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: him in a position to be successful. You know, no,

119
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: no slight to this offense because it's phenomenal. But you

120
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: know it's a RPO college type deal, so you know

121
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: there's certain reads that they tell him to look for it.

122
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: That's why we got to do a great job on

123
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: the back end and not tipping those reads.

124
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Off, says Gyre. Brown's first start, I thought JayR did

125
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: a great job.

126
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: You know, it was nothing glaring that I felt like

127
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: he was out of place again. I felt confident with

128
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: Gibson back there along with you know, Fred and the

129
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: guys that we surrounded him with, that he was gonna

130
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: do well. Uh, he's doing a great job with his communication.

131
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: I saw that yesterday in practice, just been assertive and

132
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: certain things on the back end. I feel very confident

133
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: when I can hear and see that he thought, how

134
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: much thought that he thought. Eric Arms and Javon Hargrave

135
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: really started to work together much better.

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: What have you seen from them since? By Oh, well,

137
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: I see that there.

138
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: Uh they got their legs back. You know, they're fresh.

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: They have completely in my opinion, uh, controlled the line

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: of swimmers the last couple of weeks. You know, it's

141
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: gonna be a challenge this week, But that's one thing

142
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: that we talked about. You know, we gotta do a

143
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: great job inside with our tackles. I know you guys

144
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: probably have talked to hard Grave you haven't already know

145
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: he's excited about this game, But in the same token,

146
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: it's just another game, you know. So, uh, we got

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 2: to go and do the things we got to do

148
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: upfront to be successful to help us win this game.

149
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: Various travel with TK obviously last week hadn't done that

150
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: to my knowledge this season. How hard a decision is

151
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: that to make?

152
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: How complicated is it? And we did hear that John

153
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Lynch and Kyle kind of had some input on that.

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: How did it all work well?

155
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: To be quite honest with you, we talked about this

156
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: back in the spring because we knew at some point

157
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: in time that he was gonna have to match up

158
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: and we started going left and right. Mooney came to

159
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: my office partly about a month ago talking about can

160
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: he eventually get to that point? And we looked at

161
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: it against Evans, against Tampa. We had the mindset of

162
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: doing it. We talked a lot of part of the

163
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: week and they felt more comfortable staying left and right. Uh,

164
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: that was our mindset going into it when I first

165
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: got here watching cutups. He and that was one of

166
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: the things that jumped out to me was his complete

167
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: domination of DK when they matched up. So that was

168
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: something that we wanted to do all week, and I

169
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: think it was just a conversation of U a misque

170
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 2: and what we wanted.

171
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: He went out, you know, and and got it done.

172
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: So U, I think he's fine and we'll see exactly

173
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: where where he is this week.

174
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: For was matching up.

175
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: What's your philosophy on your philosophy on having a spy

176
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: against a running quarterback.

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: Is that anything that you've done in the past.

178
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm trying to advocate for for twelve this week,

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: but uh, they I didn't get that rule pass. But yeah,

180
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: I think you know, anytime that you know Kyler Murray,

181
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, you know, you better have someone

182
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: that's allocated for him because at any point in time,

183
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: he can win with his feed and make things happen.

184
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Uh.

185
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: The great thing about him, he's not looking to run.

186
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: Uh he can you know, escape, but his eyes will

187
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: stay down field and he's still trying to put the

188
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: ball in the air celebrate on Moody just getting to

189
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: the point. What did you want to see from him

190
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: to get to the point where he's following a receiver?

191
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: I it's it's it's not really anything I wanted to see.

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: I just feel like, you know, uh, he's one of

193
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: our better cover guys.

194
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

195
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why you know, we paid him,

196
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: That's the reason why he came here. And uh, he's

197
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: he has stepped up uh to to that responsibility. And

198
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: for him, like I said before a month ago, to

199
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: come and asks me for that, Uh, it just shows

200
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: me where he is and what he wants to do.

201
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: Uh.

202
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: So Uh, I'm looking forward to once again as we

203
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: progress and move forward to see exactly uh what teams

204
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: is it this week of moving forward that he would

205
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 2: match up again?

206
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: What makes Brown such a handful uh size?

207
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: Strength, his ability after they catch, He's just so strong.

208
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: Uh you put him in the in the class of

209
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: the guys the last two weeks d K and Evans

210
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: you know, uh, and very deceptive speed you know as

211
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: he gets down the field, he's a you know, a

212
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: gold ball kind of guy, can create separation and then

213
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 2: uh at the point of attack. You know he's strong

214
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 2: going up and trying to you know, push you off

215
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: to go get the ball. So again, great challenge for

216
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: us this week.

217
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,760
