00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: dot Com. Welcome to this week's edition of Seahawks Insiders.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: It's Jen Mueller alongside John Boyle from Seahawks dot Com

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: and we are going to get you ready for the

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks matchup in the Desert against the Arizona Cardinals. Because John,

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: it is a primetime game, It's a primetime week for us.

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: We like primetime. Seahawks do okay at night. We'll talk

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: about that later. Yeah, there's a lot of things that

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: favor the Seahawks, including their record right now. And I

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: know that the team is never gonna say this because

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: it is always a championship opportunity for we can, but

15
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: we can. And it's kind of fun to talk about

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: and think about the Seahawks record right now and what

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Sunday's game means if it is a favorable outcome for

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks. Yeah, I mean if they all of a

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: sudden are five and one and you put Arizona in

20
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a three and four holes. That's a big gap you

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: put between the team coming in the season looked like

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: your chief rival for the division. Rams have looked at

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: times like they're capable of contending to but they've already

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: got three losses as well. So yeah, I mean, if

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: if we're looking ahead, and again we're allowed to do

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: that because we don't have to play the game. If

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks can get this win, they're going to be

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: in great shape in the division. And it's not just

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: about the division standings, but if you consider the health

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: of the team where the bye week came, which was perfect,

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: We've already talked about that, but long term, what it

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: would mean to have home field advantage or a home

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs, oh for sure, or potentially a

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: bye week. This kind of is a big lynch pin

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: in that for sure. And Pete, I mean, this is

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: why when Pete Carroll he's always said, you know, he

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: doesn't talk about long term goals of the super Bowl

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: or any of that kind of stuff, because the way

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: he sees it, there's too many variables in season. But

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: he talks about owning your division. The example he always

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: gives is from when he was with the Jets and

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: the Bills in the AFC East and in that era

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills and Marv Lewis and Marvein Lewis, right,

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: I'm getting that right, the coach of the Bills leave,

45
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: mar Leaving right. Yeah, it was an l I see,

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: I knew I had it wrong. Marvel Levy and those

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: those Marvel Levy era Bills. You know, obviously they didn't

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, but the reason they went to

49
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: four Super Bowls is they own their division. They got

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: those home playoff games, and that's the most controllable thing

51
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: that Pete Carroll says. So again, if if you can

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: get this one and put that separation between you and

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: the division, it sets up really well for the end

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: of the season. And the numbers do favor the Seahawks

55
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Not only are the Hawks fifteen and

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: three in primetime games since twenty and ten, but they

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: have also won the last three games in Arizona, which

58
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting when you consider that both Seattle

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and Arizona are two of the toughest teams to beat

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: at home. It's been a little bit flipped. It's kind

61
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: of weird. Because yeah. I mean you go back to

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the last three. Last time the Seats lost there was

63
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's first game. They obviously weren't the team back

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: then that they are now. But since then, they haven't

65
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: just won in Arizona, they've been pretty dominant. They've won

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and outscored him one hundred and five to

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: thirty four in those three games, including seventy one to

68
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: twelve the last two years. And oddly enough, Arizona has

69
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: come up here in one two of the last three,

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: so they've kind of returned the favor. So it's a

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: little strange. You know, no one's gonna admit to if

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: they know why that is, they're not going to tell us.

73
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, the Seats have played very well

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: down there, and that's a trend they'd love to keep

75
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: going along with. As you mentioned their primetime record. I

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: would like to give a tip of the hat to

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: the twelves who travel to Arizona travel well. They have

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: traveled so well, and I gotta tell you, for the

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: fans who are planning to meet us in Arizona, it

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: makes a huge difference when you walk in and you

81
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: see more Seahawks fans than Cardinals fans, and it is

82
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: so loud on the sidelines in favor of the Seahawks.

83
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: It's crazy down there, and you'd be crazy to think

84
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: that you're not impacting the game. So yeah, keep those

85
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: numbers down. It's Pete Carroll noted there's something to be said.

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: We can go look outside right now. There's something to

87
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: be said for going to Arizona this time of year.

88
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Fans like that. And Arizona is a city with a

89
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: lot of people from all over the country there, so

90
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: you've got some relocated twelves down there living there, so

91
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: they do. They get a really good turnout every year.

92
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the twelves following the Seahawks

93
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and wanting to know where they are with injuries, well,

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: I guess there's some good news all the way around,

95
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: even though it might not be news you want to hear.

96
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: For example, Luke Wilson underwent surgery on Monday and that

97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: could have been a lot worse. John. Rarely do I

98
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: on the sidelines have an incident where the officials clear

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: the field. They did that twice. I've never heard an

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: afficiing and crew do that. Yeah. Yeah, back to the sidelines,

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: and usually you're looking at a much longer timeframe for

102
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: getting a player off the field. It usually indicates something

103
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: more serious. I think probably the good news is when

104
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: we heard about Luke surgery. Yeah, I mean, obviously he

105
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: had surgery, so it's not the best news possible, but

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the fact that they went in Pete Carroll said they

107
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: went into scope, it saw way less damage than they

108
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: were expecting, just cleaned it up a little bit. They're

109
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean they're talking manner of weeks, not months. And

110
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: it goes back to I mean, Luke Wilson has been

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: one of the toughest, most durable guys, and he's ad

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: I can think of off Tom I had two high

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: ankle sprains that I think he missed maybe a total

114
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: of two games from. I mean, the guy is just

115
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it's a combination feels he heals fast, but I think

116
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: he's just got some of that hockey player toughness in him.

117
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: Being Canadian, you know, Daryl Bevil joked yesterday they call

118
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: him Wolverine for the way he heals. So yeah, I mean,

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: it's it's not ideal to be without him, but he's

120
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: going to be back soon. And the good thing with

121
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: The timing of that is you're getting Nick Venette back

122
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: at just the time as you're losing another tight end.

123
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: So most years of the Seahawks only have had three

124
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: tight ends total anyway, so you still go into this

125
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: game with three healthy tight ends. Yeah, which will work

126
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: in the seahawks favor, as will getting c J. Prosie back.

127
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: I talked to him today and he's really optimistic about

128
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: being able to be on the field. He had been

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: wearing a cast at practice because remember he broke the

130
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: bone in his wrist in his hand. Now he's just

131
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: got this plastic kind of protective shield over the top

132
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: part of his hand which allows him to actually use

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: his hand to catch the ball, helps him near the

134
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: third down back. It does, indeed, but he is super

135
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: stoked and that could open up so much more for

136
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: this off Yeah. And I mean they're so excited about

137
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: what we go back to when they draft him. They're

138
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: so excited about what he can bring to the offense.

139
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: Is that third down back who's a great pass catcher.

140
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a nice luxury to be able

141
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: to go out and see J. Spiller that you didn't

142
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: have to rush prosie back and have him play with

143
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: a bad hand, But I mean, he looks like just

144
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: a really dynamic playmaker when he's healthy. And the good

145
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: news there is he's been practicing this whole time. This

146
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: isn't a guy who's coming back after being on the

147
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: sideline for weeks. It's you know, he's going to be

148
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: in shape, he's gonna be ready to go. They might,

149
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, ease him back in just because he hasn't

150
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: had the game action and with Spiller, you don't necessarily

151
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: need to force the issue. But they're really excited about

152
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: getting him back. We talked about getting Venette back, They

153
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: got Germaine, a Feddie back. You're finally starting to see

154
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: some of these rookies that going into the year. They're

155
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: very excited about contributions from all these rookies on the

156
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: defensive side. I talked to Cam Chancellor today, who is

157
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: chomping at the bit to get back onto the field,

158
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: but they want to be careful with him. It is

159
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: a groin injury. It is the opposite growing that he

160
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: has had problems with, and you know, maybe all of

161
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: that works together right one side's compensating for the other

162
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: side that might not quite be as strong. Cam wants

163
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: to get out there. I think it's smart to keep

164
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: him off the field as much as possible. And like

165
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: I said, I said, Cam, you could save some of

166
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: those hits. He's like, there's never there's never a lack

167
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: of hits. I can handle it. They don't think that way. Yeah,

168
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see on him. Pete Carroll has been,

169
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, pretty pretty clear in his messaging this week

170
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: that they're they're gonna wait, They're gonna decide. You know,

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that obviously could play without practicing much.

172
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: He knows the defense back and forth, and he could

173
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: just jump in if he needs to without practicing. So

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: we'll see. They're they haven't practiced yet. We'll see where

175
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: his status is at the end of the week. But

176
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: the good news is they feel really good with what

177
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: they have in Kelsey mccraye. If they do need to

178
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: go that route again, but it sounds like Cam chancer,

179
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: nothing long term, you know, maybe it's another week, maybe

180
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: it's not, but they they'll get him back, and they

181
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: do on the defensive side, get Frank Clark back, which

182
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: is a big addition where you know, with those pass rushers,

183
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: you take one guy out of the mix. Who's a

184
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: big part of it, and it affects everybody in terms

185
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: of the mouse snaps have to play and just the production.

186
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's about with three sacks already this season. Yeah,

187
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: it was Frank Clark comes back and Michael Bennett isn't

188
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: going to miss time after he missed. Great news from

189
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: what we saw. I mean, it looks bad at the

190
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: time he gets his legs cut out and as his

191
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: knee kind of hyper extends a little, and I mean

192
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: that's that's about as an important player on that defense

193
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: as you could lose. And to get him back this

194
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: week is huge. And it is worth pointing out that

195
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks finished that game with five linemen basically in

196
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: which is not ideal in any circumstance, particularly against the

197
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: top rated offense in the NFL, and yet they were

198
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: still able to that fourth quarter was impressive. Yeah, you know,

199
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: the amount of yards no points that were allowed. So

200
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: if you think about where they are and the potential

201
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: of where they could go when these pieces are healthy,

202
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty exciting for this stretch of games

203
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: that has some interesting matchups coming up for sure, including

204
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: this one against the Cardinals. So, John, when you look

205
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals record, I don't know what to make

206
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: of it. What do you make of the team? You know,

207
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: in a way, I think their records pretty reflective of

208
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: what we've seen this year. I mean, they're very talented team,

209
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: and as we've seen the last couple of weeks, when

210
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: they're right, they can go out and beat teams pretty thoroughly.

211
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: But they haven't just been the consistent type of force

212
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: we saw out of them last year. I still think

213
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: there's a very very good team, and the Yaks seemed

214
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: to be catching them as they're getting going. So, you know,

215
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't think despite a five hundred record, there's a

216
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: team anyone's going to take lightly or think has taken

217
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: a step back from where they were last year. I mean,

218
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: there's there's a ton of talent there, and it seems

219
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: like they're starting to get together after a rocky start.

220
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: But they do have different pieces on the offensive line.

221
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: Guys both guards are ones out and ones in question,

222
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: so right, and so I would think that that's a

223
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: good spot for the Seahawks to take advantage. And yet

224
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the stats from last week and the

225
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals had one hundred and seventy one rushing yards. They

226
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over, and they didn't allow a sack. Yeah,

227
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: I mean that's exactly that looks like a matchup a

228
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: team should be able to exploit. And they've I mean

229
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: they've run David Johnson's han't he leads the NFL in

230
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: all purpose yards. They you know, they really got it going.

231
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: And you mentioned no sacks. That's that's impressive pass protection

232
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: missing your starting guards. So yeah, I mean, as I

233
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: was just saying, it seems like they're figuring it out,

234
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: even missing some key pieces, and I think that it's

235
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a real test for this defense again. David

236
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Johnson one hundred and eleven yards, three touchdowns last week

237
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: against the Jets. He leads the NFL with eight hundred

238
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns. Yeah.

239
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: How does he compared because last week we spent some

240
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: time talking about the running backs from Atlanta and how

241
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: they match up. How does he compared to them or

242
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: just match up against the Hawks? Yeah, I mean different physically,

243
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: He's a big dude. I mean, he's a big physical back.

244
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: He moves well also, But in terms of the test

245
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: of a team that's going to be a committed to

246
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: get in the run going and be they throw to

247
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: their running back. That's similar to what we saw last

248
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: week that the Falcons have been a good running team.

249
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: Their running backs both are good pass catchers, in particular

250
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. Yet the Seahawks, as they've done all year,

251
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: they're great against the run. They only allowed fifty rushing

252
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: yards on seventeen carries to those two running backs and

253
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: only four receptions for seventeen yards to two guys who

254
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: catch the ball very well, So that bodes well for

255
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Again, you know, Dave Johnson's a great player.

256
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: It's no disrespect to him, but I think in general

257
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: this team has set up well that if a team's

258
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: best weapon is a multi purpose running back, that's a

259
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: matchup the Seahawks like with their linebackers and their safeties

260
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: and just that front four or the way they stopped

261
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: their run. And he has six games this year with

262
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: one hundred plus yards from scrimmage. No, I'm sorry, six

263
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: straight games. That was over a couple of years. The

264
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: last two games he's had over a hundred yards rushing.

265
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: And I do think when you talk about the Seahawks

266
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: set up to stop the run. They are well suited.

267
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: And one of the names that has come up this

268
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: week as being the unsung hero on the defensive line

269
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: is Tony McDaniel. You don't get to talk to the

270
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: big guy very much because he doesn't say a whole lot.

271
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: He's so quiet when he talks. He is, and Mike

272
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Bennett's music is blaring in the wackground, so it's even

273
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: harder to talk to him. But you know, it was

274
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: interesting when I was talking to Tony McDaniel, and I

275
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought of this until we were having the conversation,

276
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: and he was even shy to kind of embrace that.

277
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: But I said, you know, here's the deal, Tony. When

278
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Mebane left, I miss Mebane. You know, I miss

279
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: him in the locker room, you miss him on the field,

280
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: but you don't have a play that's made and say

281
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks miss Brandon Mebane. And part of that is

282
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: because Tony has stepped in and that's such a nice job.

283
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: And those pieces on the d line. What have you

284
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: seen from him? You have a different angle in the

285
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: game than I do. Yeah, And you know, early on

286
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: we were talking about jarn Reid, who's also played very well.

287
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: But it's really been both those guys and to a

288
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: degree also Taba Rubin because he's doing some different stuff

289
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: than he did last year. But it's really kind of

290
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: been a group effort filling that gap of losing a

291
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: guy who is a rock for you in the middle

292
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: of the defense for so long. But I mean, yeah,

293
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: Tony McDonnell, that's that's a cool story. It's a guy

294
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: he didn't appear to be on their radar. I mean,

295
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: he was out there for a while free agent, and

296
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: he happens to be going on vacation to Leavenworth and

297
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: his agent calls the Seahawks said, hey, can he have

298
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: a workout while he's there, And a couple of weeks later,

299
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: he's on the field for you and starting games and

300
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: playing great. As you mentioned, Richard Sherman called him a

301
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: quiet hero of this season, and it's I mean, he

302
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: was a big part of those two Super Bowl defenses,

303
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: and just for money reasons, they weren't able to keep

304
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: him around. It's it's a reality. We all know what

305
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: the salary cap. Sometimes you gotta let guys go that

306
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: you like. And the fact they were able to bring

307
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: him back this late in the game has been great

308
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: for the defense. One of the things he told me today,

309
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: and Michael Bennett said the same thing, kind of about

310
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: that block and that hit that he took on Sunday.

311
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Offensive lines and teams are trying to change things up.

312
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: kJ Wright told us that last week the Seahawks are

313
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: going to prepare for one thing that they see on film.

314
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: The teams are going to switch it up, and Tony said,

315
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: when you do that, you have got to just focus

316
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: on the guy in front of you, and there are

317
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: certain keys that you have and you have to have

318
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: the experience to know what part of yourself to trust

319
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: on that. So I think part of that is he's

320
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: not just a big dude. And it's not just that

321
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: he's been with the Seahawks previously, but most of the

322
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: guys getting extensive playing time on that line, Jaron Reid excluded,

323
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: Frank Clark is still getting up there. You don't realize

324
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: how good they are because they're able to make such

325
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: small adjustments and not get overwhelmed by something new coming

326
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: at them every week or every quarter in a game. Yeah,

327
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: And when you say you don't realize how good they are,

328
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: there's probably no position in football that's less appreciated when

329
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: they're doing their job right than an interior lineman who's

330
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: a run stopper and interior pass rusher. You notice, but

331
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: the enemy Baines when Jaron Reid's out there and run

332
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: defense Rubin. I mean, those guys can play a phenomenal

333
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: game and not register a stat. But if they if

334
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: they occupy these blockers, if they clear holes for linebackers,

335
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: if they're doing their job and stopping the run, you

336
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: may not notice it, but it's it's what he's been

337
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: doing since he got here. It's been really impressive. Yeah,

338
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: and the D line is going to have their tasks

339
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: stopping Johnson. And how about Larry Fitzgerald. It's like ask

340
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: because I was like, I remember probably three or four

341
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: years ago, thinking he's a great player, but this has

342
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: got to be the end for him, And thought, you know,

343
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: Floyd is coming in, he's their new number one, and

344
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna phase Fitzgerald out. He's their leading receiver now,

345
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: and he's an unbelievable player, and I think he's I mean,

346
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: even though he plays for a arrival, I think even

347
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks players really like the guy. Just because he's he's

348
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys that's just so likable and seems

349
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: to play the game right, and you know all the

350
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: cliches you could say about a guy. He's he's fun

351
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: to watch. He ordered at least one reception in one

352
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five consecutive games. That is tied with

353
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens for the fifth longest streak in NFL history.

354
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: He will tie Hines Ward this week. Should he catch

355
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: a pass. I'm okay. If he ties hines Ward. I'm okay.

356
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: If he catches a pass, I do like watching. I

357
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty safe bet he'll catch it. As

358
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: good as the Seahawks defense is, he'll probably'll probably get one.

359
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's a question as to whether

360
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd will because you mentioned him. He came on fire,

361
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: you know what, was it a year or two ago,

362
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: and he is getting less playing time now. Did score

363
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown on Monday, But he's kind of a question mark.

364
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: And and how that offense is going so interesting to watch,

365
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: how he gets used, how many snaps he actually gets

366
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: during the game. Let's switch gears and talk about the

367
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense, and how about just thoughts overall is to

368
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: where they are at this point in the season a

369
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: couple of things. I think they're not quite where people

370
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: wanted them to be, and that goes back to just

371
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: how good they were at the end of last year.

372
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: But when you look at the nature of this offense

373
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: in past years, of how they've started slowly and got

374
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: it going, when you go by that bar, I think

375
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: they're in really good shape because there's a lot of

376
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: room for improvement still, but they're still playing well. The

377
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: passing games looking really good, the protections great. They've given

378
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: up ten sacks or five games. It was twenty two

379
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: in five games last year, so it's night and day there.

380
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of focus this week on the

381
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: running game, understandably, I mean by their standards when you

382
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: just look at the numbers, their way down. I think

383
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: they're averaging eighty eight point eight yards a game, which

384
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: brings twenty fifth in the NFL. But I think internally

385
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: there's a little less concern than maybe when you just

386
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: look at those numbers. A lot of that has to do

387
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: do with Russell Wilson. He's a big part of the

388
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: rushing game in his career. He's a guy that's you know,

389
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: not only rush for a lot of yards and average

390
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: a lot of yards per carry, but just the threat

391
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: of him makes a big difference, and that hasn't been

392
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: there at the injuries. I think he's getting back to

393
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: where he was and if he gets back to run

394
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: and not a ton, but just you know, those twenty

395
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: thirty yards a game, that makes a big difference within

396
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: the numbers and just the effectiveness of it. Well, twenty

397
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: or thirty yards a game would be a tremendous improvement

398
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: over what we're seeing it and I don't I shouldn't

399
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: say improvement because I don't necessarily need him to run

400
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: the ball more if the offense is going to be

401
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: efficient passing. But he has run for just thirty five

402
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: yards this season, which is for him for most of

403
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: his career. It absolutely was. Last year he was averaging

404
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: thirty four point six yards a game, and in twenty

405
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: fourteen it was fifty three yards a game. So if

406
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: you add that to the rest of that total that

407
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: the running backs are getting you, you're now in that

408
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: one ten, one, twenty range, which looks pretty average for

409
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: a Seahawks yeah running attack. Yeah, and I really don't

410
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: think they feel there that far off. At the same

411
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: they know they can better. I mean Tom Cable talked

412
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: about this yesterday. It's been inconsistent is the biggest thing.

413
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, they gashed a huge hole for a

414
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: forty one yard running as the forty yards on their

415
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: first run. I mean, if they're capable of blocking well,

416
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: and we've seen it in Spur, it's just they need

417
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: to consistency there. And if they get a little bit

418
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: more of that consistency blocking and if Wilson becomes a

419
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: little more of that running game, I don't think it's

420
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: going to be something we're talking about in November December

421
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: that they can't run the ball. Yeah, I think that

422
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: it's a good sign that they've done what they've done

423
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: up to this point. He's also getting the ball out

424
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: faster than he ever has in his career, and he's

425
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: one of the most efficient passers right now in the NFL.

426
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: So I think those are all good things. As is.

427
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: This fewest penalties committed by the Seahawks came last week,

428
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: three penalties for thirty yards. It's nice when you play

429
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: a clean game and you're not especially especially for the offense,

430
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: when the offense has had a lot of their worst

431
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: spurts of you know, three and out and going a

432
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: quarter without moving the ball. If you go back and

433
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: look at those, there's almost always some penalties involved, whether

434
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: it's a first down hold or hold it into gates,

435
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: a big play, just things like that. So you get

436
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: those out of the way where you're not going you know,

437
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: first and fifteen, second and twenty, it makes all the

438
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: difference in the world. And my last point is just

439
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: the way that the special teams kind of got off

440
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: the schneide a little bit. Last week we talked about

441
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: the number of kickoff return yards which just hadn't been there.

442
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: Last week five returns for one hundred and nine yards,

443
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett accounting for four of those returns, which was

444
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: good to see him out there. It's good to see

445
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: him picking up yards. And Pete Carroll says that they've

446
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: been okay and there's room to grow, but getting Tyler

447
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Lockett back to being Tyler Lockett will help. He's getting there.

448
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's all the way back yet, but

449
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: he's getting healthier to the point they let him return kicks,

450
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: which he hadn't done less two and a half games.

451
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: So getting him going will help. It's interesting though, just

452
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of a sidebar off that Pete Carroll talked about.

453
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: It's becoming a lot more attractive to take that touch

454
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: back with those five extra yards because you need a

455
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty good return now to get past the twenty five

456
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: yard line. So those yards you mentioned, I mean, those

457
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: numbers sound good at the same time, like that's pretty

458
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: much getting back to the twenty five on most of those.

459
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: So it's but I think as we see a healthier

460
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, he's going to pop some of those. And

461
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: maybe you don't always get the big yards, but if

462
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: you go twenty two, twenty four, twenty five and then boom,

463
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: you're at midfield, then it's worth it well, and especially

464
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,760

Speaker 1: what he is, getting a short field and getting field

467
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: position in your favor, that plays really well in some

468
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: potential nasty games down the stretch weatherwise, and all of

469
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: that good stuff. So well. That has been this week's
