00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: ten ESPN. Before we jump into the New England Pages,

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: we gotta talk about last week's opponent, the Atlanta Falcons.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had one of his best games as a professional,

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: thirty one for thirty five, three hundred twenty two yards,

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,319
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. The offense looked a little difference, but I

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: feel like the main I guess topic of this game

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: is Jamal Adams. This guy had a great game, got

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, had a bunch of tackles, brought a

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: lot of swag and energy to this defense. Made this

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: defense feel like they're playing on a different level. You

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: match that with Russell Wilson's play, it looked different, Paul.

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: It was like everyone expects his team to come out

18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: and run the football. I'm not gonna say the phrase

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: to let Russ do his thing. Bowl were satisfied with

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: what happened. Um Chris Carson didn't touch the ball that

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: many times, only seven carry six or seven carries, but

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: he was a factor in the past game. This offense

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: has looked a bit different, different, This defense looked a

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: bit different. What did you see out this whole deal? Well,

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, superstars are important in this league. You know,

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: you can, you can have a bunch of great players,

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: but you need playmakers. And what Jamal Adams is, he's

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: a playmaker. And you know I was telling somebody earlier,

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I go, he didn't even play his best game. You

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: guys know, he's just been the best we've seen in

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: such a long time in the secondary because I think

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: he's the best safety, you know, pretty much hands down

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It is his energy. And you know

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: when you see a guy's enthusiastic, who's a leader, it

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: brings everybody else up too. Sometimes, you know, you play

36
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: it cool, like I'm looking to see what did he

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: get excited? You know, I can't get all excited if

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm not the man. What Jamal is the man? Um

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: He makes plays all over the board, and sometimes he

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: makes mistakes and he makes up with it with effort

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: and certainly skill. Um twelve tackles, a sack. He also

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: had you know another I think he had two quarterback hits,

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: two tackles for a loss, made some plays on third down,

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: made one on Julio Jones, knocked the ball down early

45
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: in the game as well. But we're just getting started

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: with this defense. You know, he made some mistakes, you know,

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: watching the game, and I think Pete talked about it

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: as well, and that's what excites me even more. I mean,

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: he played the best I've seen the safety playing a

50
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: long time for the Seahawks, and I would say he

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: played eighty percent of what he's capable of. Eighty percent.

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I like that, Paul. And you know, he did make

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: a mistake. Everyone looked at that late touchdown that they

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: feel like she killed Griffin, gave up. But you hear

55
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll talk about he said Jamal made a mistake,

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: ran into Shaquille. That's how that happened. The thing I

57
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: found most exciting about the defense was that there was

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: a sequence where I felt like Jamal Adams came up

59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and made a play, and then Diggs made a play,

60
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and then Bobby made a play. We're talking about Jamal

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Adams and quietly Bobby Wagoner had a great game. So

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: what I like about that it's like you're not depending

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: on Bobby. Remember last year was like if Bobby doesn't

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: do this, if Bobby doesn't do that, now we're talking

65
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: about Jamal and that's gonna take some pressure awful Bobby.

66
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: I would I would like to think as a linebacker,

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: when you feel like you have a guy behind you

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: who as you're back, you're allowed to play more free,

69
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: you know. And it did seem like Bobby played more free,

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: you know. I didn't feel like he was pressing as

71
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: much and he I thought he played phenomenal. He had

72
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: a couple of bus too. He had one where there

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: was a play action passy. I mean you can see

74
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: it when a guy claps his hands like oh, and

75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: he could have had an interception if he turned and

76
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: looked up. I want to say it was either Ridley

77
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: or Julio Jones. On a deep end. Diggs played well. Yeah,

78
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: And this is the one thing that we're trying to

79
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: get back to is a really physical football team. So

80
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: you come through that line, you better have your head

81
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: on a swibble. If you're a running back or a

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Those days, it seems like they're far. They've

83
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: gone away that you can't hit anybody well. Diggs will

84
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: knock you out, and Jamal Adams will knock you out.

85
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner will knock you out. And then you're starting

86
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: to see all these other guys say, Okay, this is fun.

87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I want to be a part of that too. I

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: even saw Dunbar he made a nice shit on the sideline.

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: He was all jacked up about it. So I think

90
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the identity of this team is one.

91
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna be very physical, at least in the back seven,

92
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: and I think we've got playmakers across the board. Dunbar

93
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: made a play, Lano Hills was out there making plays

94
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: that I feel like that is an example of the

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: infectious energy and passion that Jamal brings to the table.

96
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: Now we got to talk about Russell Wilson. I mean,

97
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: the guy was incredible. It's it's almost like we're spoiled,

98
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: like we got this week one. We got this performance

99
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: out of him week one. So now people are going

100
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 1: to expect this to happen every single week. I tell people,

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: simmer down, that's one week. I feel like they might

102
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: have taken advantage of opportunities that were presented to them offensively,

103
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: I still feel like they're gonna have to run this

104
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: football for this team to be successful and open everybody up.

105
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: What was your overall thought about this offense? DK had

106
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: a good game, but he had a bad game. At

107
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the same time, Tyler Lockey was consistent. What are your

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: thoughts about this offense? Well? I liked what we did

109
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: from an identity standpoint and that hey, we can still

110
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: get the ball to the running back. So one thing

111
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: we've not been very good over the years the screens.

112
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: You know, some people say why don't you run more screens? Well,

113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: because it takes a lot of execution on that, you know,

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta go and actually do it a

115
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: lot in practice and the timing of it. I thought

116
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: we ran him really well. And maybe a part of

117
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: us with Damien Lewis, you know, maybe they did that

118
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: when he was at LSU and he was comfortable postic.

119
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: He was a center at LSU. He's back to his

120
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: natural position. So I saw those guys leading out in front.

121
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: It was really fun because both those are pretty athletic,

122
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: big guys. I'm may like Damian Lewis on the one

123
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: touchdown Carson had on that screen. I mean he was

124
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: high stepping. He was in the end zone and knocked

125
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: a dB on his butt of it just to finish

126
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: the play. So I didn't realize he was his athletic.

127
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: I thought he was more of a brawler. Now he's

128
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: he's got some skill and he can he can high

129
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: step at two. So I like what we've where we

130
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: are and here's why? What are you going to do

131
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: if you're in New England? Yeah? This so now, okay,

132
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: we've always said, well we got to stop the run,

133
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: do you I mean you just had a guy go

134
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: thirty one for thirty five and you know you saw

135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the game and have studied it. I don't know if

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: Russell threw a ball within an inch outside of a

137
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: receiver's body. I never saw a receiver have to extend

138
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: his hand or go die for something. The only one

139
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I saw somebody extend their hands was when DK on

140
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: that fourth and five play. It was a go route

141
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: and he just put his hands out like a bread

142
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: basketbat ball was right there. I think Russell's the most

143
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: accurate quarterback in the NFL. People don't you can go

144
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. I watched Matt Ryan cam Newton watched

145
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: him last night and today they have bad throws. They

146
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: have a throw where they're under pressure, it sails on him,

147
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: or a guy has to go down and or stop

148
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: and slow down. There wasn't one pass in this game

149
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: of the thirty five that a guy had to slow

150
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: down and it didn't hit him somewhere right around the numbers.

151
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: They didn't have to slow down. They hit him right

152
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: in the numbers. And this is without a preseason. Now,

153
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Russell doesn't play much in the preseason. He plays what

154
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: week one and then maybe in week three he'll get

155
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: ten to twelve snaps, maybe two series. So he did

156
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: this without those extra snaps. It only leads me to imagine,

157
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: like what would he have done if he had a

158
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: few more games to prepare for this. That's just less.

159
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: You know how prepared this guy is. You know, I

160
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: heard Jake Keeps talk about him working with Russell during

161
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: the offseason. How he is obsessed with is being perfect? Now,

162
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: perfect is never gonna happen in a game. I've never

163
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: seen a perfect game in my life. If you have, Paul,

164
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you let me know when you saw no, well, it

165
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: was it was awfully good what he did and his

166
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: decision making. That's another thing that just goes unnoticed. Start

167
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: it's just not there's no way to sometimes factor it

168
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: in into an equation the stat right, but his decision

169
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: making is remarkable. When he escapes. I remember the one

170
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: where escaped early in the game. He was running hard

171
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: to his left and I can't remember who he threw

172
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: it too. It might have been it might have been

173
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Tyler on the sideline. Man, it was just a bullet.

174
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: But seriously, if you were a wide receiver and just

175
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: threw a bunch of stick him all on your body,

176
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to catch a ball. It would just

177
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: stick to you. He would hit you in the body

178
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: blitting a cough. Then political need to get all the

179
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: stick litting and stuff. And also Lester Hayes on defense.

180
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: But for you as a wide receiver, I mean, you've

181
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: got to feel pretty good when you're running your route

182
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: that you know. I mean, I have to stay perfect

183
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 1: on this route. He's gonna see that. It doesn't matter

184
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: if I all sudn't been something on the outside. That's

185
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: gotta be an amazing feeling. And he's gonna put the

186
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: ball where the defenders aren't. That's a lot of erratic

187
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks would throw you high, get you knocked out, throw

188
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: behind your back. He's gonna put the ball where he

189
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: feels like, okay, he can catch it and he could

190
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: run after that. Russell Wilson and the Seahawks had a

191
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: great debut. But coming up next, we'll dive into the

192
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: seahawks Week two opponent with Tom Corant from the NBC

193
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: Sports Boston right here on Hawk Slide. Hawks Slive every

194
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Thursday from seven to nine, live on air on seven

195
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Jenny ESPN. Seat you're listening to a hot slide with me,

196
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Michael bumpas said my guy Paul Morier, every Thursday, seven

197
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: o'clock right here on seventeen ESPN. And right now we

198
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: get to talk to Tom Kerran from NBC Sports Boston. Tom,

199
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Tremendous? What's going on? Guys?

200
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: You know we're hanging out. We appreciate you staying up

201
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: late for us and taking time out. My first question

202
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: for you was what was it like seeing the new

203
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: England offense take the field and having a different quarterback

204
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: around the show. It was a little surreal, you know what.

205
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: It was a little surreal. But it's such a huge

206
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: personality and it's such a compelling player who had so

207
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: many talents that he was bringing to the table that

208
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: you didn't get really to focus on the guy who

209
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: wasn't there, because the guy who was there was compelling

210
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: in his own right. So it's a good question, and

211
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: that was something that I noticed, Like you knows, who's

212
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: Jared Staidimer, Brian Lawyer. I might be getting a little

213
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Brady nostalgia here, but I wasn't, and I don't think

214
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people in New England were, just because

215
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they replaced him with really the ideal replacement. To forget

216
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: as much as you will about someone like Tom Brady,

217
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: it is a mccam. Looks like we'll get more to Camerica.

218
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: It looks like he's having fun, and that was the

219
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,119
Speaker 1: one thing. But you know, I just think it's so impressive.

220
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: Just your thoughts on what Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniel

221
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: have done. I mean, this is I just got done

222
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: watching him this morning, and this off I mean, the

223
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: read opts and the play acts. Everything about this offense,

224
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: maybe other than to the running back running game is different.

225
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean, how impressive is it? Just to see what

226
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: they've done. And really the short amount of time too.

227
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: It's not like they've got double days I'll camp to

228
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: do this. No, I mean it's really remarkable. And when

229
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: you look at it, you know, this is why McDaniels,

230
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: even though he had you know, the time in Denver

231
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: that didn't go great, excuse me, and then uh, you know,

232
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: he left Indianapolis standing at the altar. This is why

233
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: McDaniels is spot after. It's not just on radium, Bill Belichick.

234
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, McDaniels is the offensive mind, and he's the

235
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: one who dealt with radium. He'll be the one who

236
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: deals with Cam and they did. They reconfigured everything and

237
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: really a five week span. And what's interesting about the

238
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: personnel the Patriots have now is they are a really

239
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: good run blocking line and I think that those guys

240
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: warmed to the task of a lot of that read

241
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: option and triple option and quarterback draw stuff that he

242
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: is now on the table with Cam. Well, I was

243
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna say another thing that's impressives and again this just

244
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: shows how good a coaches they are. It's the execution

245
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: of it, you know, the timing of that read option,

246
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,479
Speaker 1: and it's a complex running game. I mean, the Seahawks,

247
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: they got their hands full coming in this week. It's

248
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: going to be a battle for them to try and

249
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: stop this running game. It is, but it, as Josh

250
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: McDaniels pointed out a couple of times, this is an

251
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: entirely different, polar opposite defense. It's you know, it's it's

252
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: a one gap front that penetrates, as opposed to Miami

253
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: two gapping and kind of hanging out and wait to

254
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: see what you're gonna do. It's what's seeing secondary players.

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: It's zone defense, so that everybody's facing the line, even

256
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: in the secondary, as opposed to, you know, playing man

257
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: and turning their backs to the live of scrimmage. And

258
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: there are much more impressive players really starting with Bobby Wagner,

259
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: but certainly now I think including Jamal Adams on this

260
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Seattle defense, which has a program in place which he

261
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: works for years and years. This isn't their first time

262
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: seeing it. It's whether it's Kyler Murray or Jimmy g

263
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: or Golf or Cam back in the day, they have

264
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: seen this type of offense. So they're not going to

265
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: be hot flats footed a little bit maybe the way

266
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: Miami was Tom. One of the knocks of Cam Newton

267
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: was his leadership. Now, I don't think he is a

268
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: bad leader. I just think it looks different than you're,

269
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's your Drew Brees on. What have you seen

270
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: out of Cam thus far? When it comes to his leadership?

271
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: Everything's gone great, So it's been great. You know, he

272
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: shares his enthusiasm. I think for Cam with a leader

273
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: from Afar, I used to look at him as it

274
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: seemed like he and Brady could do this too. Certainly,

275
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: I think every quarterback can, although I don't know if

276
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: I've ever seen Wilson do it, but you know, you

277
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: got a little hanggog when things went poorly for him,

278
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: and he wore it all over his space and you know,

279
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: the towel over the head and all that stuff. I

280
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: guess they all do that to a degree, but with

281
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: Cam it seemed to compound. But right now everybody's going great,

282
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: so there's been no opportunity for him to be anything

283
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: other than over the top enthusiastic, and guys are gravitating

284
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: toward that. You know, there's names here that people know,

285
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: you know, certainly Julian Edelman, and I think maybe a

286
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: little I'm an Arizona State guy, so Harry, you know

287
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: we I'm pulling for him to do well. But other

288
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: than the second there which it which is phenomenal. Say

289
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: some names out there that the Seahawk fans out here

290
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: may not know about, that they're going to be fun

291
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: to watch this week. Sure. Defensively, it'll be Jawan Bentley.

292
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: He is going to be in the high tower role.

293
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: And you guys know high tower well who was in

294
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: the male role. So he's the nerve center of the defense.

295
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: He's a fifth round pick out of Purdue, hadn't played

296
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: a ton in his second year, and now in his

297
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: third year. He is the brains of the defense. So

298
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you have him at the second level. Ben Chase Winovic

299
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: is really looking like a guy who's gonna start to

300
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: play well on the edge at that outside linebacker response, well,

301
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: are two big guys. Then as the kid Byron Cowards

302
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: who played good in the middle. They also got Adrian

303
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: Phillips came over from the Charges at safety. He played

304
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: great last week and play some chung and then on offense,

305
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: you know him. I mean, that's that's it. It's Harry

306
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: and Edelman and then a bunch of Schmolls to be

307
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: rude about it, and then after that it's James White,

308
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: So James White, Sony Michelle, Julian Edelman at the offense,

309
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean Nikkil Harry sad to say, even though you're

310
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: rooting for him very much, an unknown quantity and it's

311
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: sturry much. Three steps forward, two steps back with him,

312
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: all right, Tom, Now the Hawks have a former Patriot

313
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: on their roster now. Philip Door said he didn't play

314
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: that first week, how to injury that he's dealing went

315
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: in his foot. When he is healthy, when he is

316
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: ready to go. What type of player should the Twelves

317
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: expect out of this guy? Fast guy, good teammate, good

318
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: hands if he can get to what he catches it.

319
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: But he's not a guy who works inside the numbers.

320
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: And that I always felt was really a knock against him,

321
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: because he's about a five ten wide receiver who doesn't

322
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: work inside the numbers. He timed it four three, but

323
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't really play that for three. We'll see if

324
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Philip can excuse me, Philip, who the hell is Philip.

325
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: We'll see if Russell could get something out of him

326
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: with that down the field speed that the Patriots didn't. Really.

327
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: He's okay as a third or a fourth, but you're

328
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: not going to want to center the offense around him

329
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:11,359
Speaker 1: if those other guys Metcalf and Locket are drawing attention. Absolutely,

330
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna find favorable matchups where fil door set's going

331
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: to be open and have some big games. And if

332
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: he is open, he does catch it. I was thinking

333
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: going into this game that their defense has been so good.

334
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: You kind of mentioned it with Dante high Tower and

335
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Chung both opting out with from the COVID. Are

336
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: you surprised how well the defense played last week or

337
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, just another Bell Belichick typical coaching. Absolutely stunned

338
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: because it wasn't just losing high Tower and Chung. It's

339
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: losing Kyle van Noy and Jamie Collins and Oland and Roberts,

340
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: their entire linebacker whom was gone Paul of them, So

341
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: that was a big deal. And for them to play

342
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: the way they did in their first game without those

343
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: guys was kind of astounding. Again, this is going to

344
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: be a much different test. You have a quarterback who

345
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: can buy time, move around, scramble on you. If he

346
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: has to a different style running back in Carson I

347
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: think than than what they saw last week. So really

348
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: a hard matchup, I think, And you know, if you're

349
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: a Seahawks fan looking at this game, it's not the

350
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: normal Patriots defense personnel was a lot of rock players.

351
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour NFL Player of the Year, Defensive Player of

352
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the Year last year, had to pick this year. I

353
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: watched the film. Doesn't look like he's lost a stet.

354
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: He loves playing a man. He can play the sliding

355
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: play on the outside. What does he look like to

356
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: you so far after week won? He's terrific. I mean

357
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: he's running routes for guys practically. He gets aggressive, he

358
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: gets handy, and he get called twice this past week.

359
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: And also came up with that pick that you mentioned.

360
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you put him on Metcalf

361
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: because he likes to single him up with people. Sometimes

362
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: they'll put him on the best receiver, but it's the

363
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: best receiver there. Metcalfs a locket, and even if it

364
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: is locket, is the six plus Paul H. Gilmore best

365
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: served being on that guy where you put him on

366
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: the number two, We'll put him on Metcalf and then

367
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: double locket. That's kind of what the Patriots like to

368
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: do sometimes. So that'll be interesting to see where he goes,

369
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: because he's gonna probably follow somebody. Tom. We appreciate you

370
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: staying up. You go get some sleep, man, Thanks for

00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,640

00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: actually I was gonna lead into my first question for you,

390
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: k J. I mean your ninth here, you know, think

391
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: about your your rookie camp or your tenth here, excuse me,

392
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: think about your rookie camp and this one how I

393
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: mean trying to explain to people listening how different it

394
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: is your rookie camp probably two days at times to

395
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: this where you know, unprecedented times. Yeah, it's, um, yeah,

396
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: completely different, like you said, and um there's a young

397
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: rookie coming in you know, yeah's the wide open. Do

398
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: I know what to expect? Just trying to get on

399
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: the club and in social NFL career and now hearing

400
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: I mean you're ten and just um, you know, experience,

401
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: got some some wisdom to me and um, just out

402
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: here just just steady balling adding to the career. So

403
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: it's been a fun journey and just have to just

404
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: make sure that this temper is an awesome year. Hey

405
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: k J, I watched you guys play last week and

406
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: it just felt fast out there. Now we're just the

407
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: old guys watching film and watching you guys get to work.

408
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: We're not out there, but it's that accurate. Did it

409
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: feel fast out there for you? What was your field?

410
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: It did feel fat. It really did feel fast. And

411
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have any preseason as we went

412
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: straight from training camp, which is fast as well, but

413
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: we all know that game time, the speed is, you know,

414
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: everybody moving a little quicker out there and pushing a

415
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: little harder, and so it did feel fast, especially there

416
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: in the beginning. But as the game went on, you

417
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: start to slow down for me personally, and you can

418
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: start team stuff better. So it was like to say something,

419
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: and I love the way our defense looked. Our defense

420
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: was flying all over the plate as you y'all saw

421
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Bobby and Jamal's look, an excellent Benston was making plays

422
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: and so I love what I saw. And in our

423
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: first Ebbie, it did look physical. And obviously that's how

424
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: you guys like to play, and that's what you guys

425
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: are known for, certainly during the Super Bowl run. But

426
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: you guys got a lot of new players. For you, Bobby,

427
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean, this is k K jam I'm thinking of.

428
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: You've got two new defensive ends. You've got even Digs

429
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: who came in the middle of the year. You've got

430
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: done Bar, You've got Jamal Adams, and look, I thought

431
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: you guys played well the artist. That doesn't matter. I mean,

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: it's all about wins. But you guys obviously can play

433
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: so much better. What's it like trying to just coordinate

434
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: all of these new new people. It's fun, man, This

435
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: group really jails really well together. Everybody's just happy. Everybody,

436
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, love each other. Just good vibes between everybody.

437
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: And we're still learning. You still learning how each other

438
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: likes to play each other style. And I'm saying this

439
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: defense could be extra any special you. Um, you saw

440
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: how many yards that Ryan had and you know, we

441
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: just we definitely want to limit that. But overall, you

442
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: watched this then we played a really solid game, and

443
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: so we just got to continue that. We know this

444
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: week's opponent, we know the death style of offense, and

445
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: we gotta make sire we take away what they do

446
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: best and um get the ball back to the offense

447
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: so we can get another win this week. Now, kJ

448
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: you line up on the field and you see some

449
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: young some young guys out there. You got Trey Um,

450
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: you got pun Jay Reis on the younger side, but

451
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: then you look to your Ryan and left and you

452
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: see your boy, Bruce Irvin. Man, what was the life

453
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: being reunited with your boy? It's fun, man, That's when

454
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Like when I saw that he signed back,

455
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is just to get

456
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Bruce back to how we had him back and um

457
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: doing a Super Bowl era. It's just fun, man. He's

458
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: just the life of the defense, life of the team.

459
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Um to play linebacker own first down, come rushing the

460
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: edge on third down. Bruce brus can do so much

461
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: not And I told Booth winning went out for those

462
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: practices during training. Comes like, dog, we're not the same

463
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: without you. We're not the same defense without Bruths on

464
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: the field. And I'm just glad that we got him

465
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: back and he ud had a whole new dimension to

466
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: our defense. Okay, yeah, I mean it looked different on defense.

467
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: You know normally you know a little bit more of vanilla,

468
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: more three deep, some you know, single free at times.

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: You know, this time, I think Jamal Adams blitched eleven times.

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: I saw Um Blair probably go four or five times.

471
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Talk about just the difference of philosophy, if it's a change,

472
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and how much are they blitching you guys as linebackers too. Yeah,

473
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling we we're in aggressive defense. I felt like

474
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: last year we depending on the offense way too much.

475
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: The offense bold out of out of so many games,

476
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: and the defense is one that's gonna be on the attack.

477
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: We go get after it. You saw we're coming up

478
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: the edge, coming up the middle, and um, you know

479
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: the linebacker sex is gonna come as well. And so

480
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: we're on the attack this year. Last year just seel

481
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: like we weren't as good, weren't good enough, and we're

482
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: just getting started. We gotta make sure that we build

483
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: off of this first win. The Patriots come in there,

484
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have an awesome game plan, go

485
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: try to do some good stuff. We just gotta make

486
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: sure we put a lot of stamp on this defense

487
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. So let's talk about New England kJ.

488
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: Last week, you guys saw Matt Ryan and threw the

489
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: ball fifty four times. Now, New England, they're gonna run

490
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: that rock. This is gonna be a big boy type

491
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: of football game. What are you seeing out of New England?

492
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: And are you up for the challenge? I'm sure you are. Yeah,

493
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think a completely different game plan.

494
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: You got um Like you said, they passed the feet

495
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: the four times. This team want to come out established

496
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: a run. They have really four good running backs over

497
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: there in New England. Add Cam Newton in there. He

498
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: likes to run the ball as well, and so it

499
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: could be downhill football. Twenty two personnel, twenty one personnel.

500
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: You know who who gonna tap out first, and so

501
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun challenge. I've always had lots

502
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: of respect for Cam Newton, both with his legs and

503
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: his arm, and he's a competitor, and so it could

504
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: be a tough game. I know they have a good

505
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: defense over there in New England, and so I think

506
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: it'd be a good defensive battle. You know about I

507
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: can keep calling your body cage. I don't know why.

508
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I look I'm about I'm about

509
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: to say, Dave Wyman, I talked about you all the time.

510
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: We thought last year it's one of your best years

511
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: you've had and you know, just in your tenth season now,

512
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: kJ I'll get that right. You know, how is your

513
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: body feeling and did you feel last year is one

514
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: of the best years you've had in your career. Yeah,

515
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: last year was phenomenal, just um to come up that

516
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: injury year that I had before and through deem myself.

517
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I was truly thankful that I could play as good

518
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: as I did, thankful for my training depth and the

519
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: nursing back to health and so last year was tremendous

520
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to build off of that that season.

521
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: My body feels excellent and m yeah, man, it's ready

522
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: to continue the ball and do what I always do

523
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: and make plays. Just have another good year. I promise

524
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: when we get Bobby on, I'm gonna call him kJ

525
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: three times for you accord that for me finish so

526
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: I can hear it all right, kJ. What are you

527
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: seeing out of these young guys? You got Jordan Brooks

528
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: the first round pick, Cody Barnes in the second year,

529
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Benburg Curvin is out there or do you feel like

530
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: they're getting more comfortable out there being an NFL pro?

531
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: I think so, man. I believe out of all the

532
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: linebackers that Cody had the best camp, you know, out

533
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: of everybody, He's just somebody just real instinctive, got some

534
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: picks out there. Just he don't have a really good career,

535
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: and BBK was out there husband as usual and even

536
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: books books were good. You can tell during Ota picked

537
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: up the playbook really good. Get out there during camp

538
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: shows the speed, shows the strength, and so this this

539
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: linebacker group is tremendous. And I believe that something. Bobby

540
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: get tired, I get tired. I think they can step

541
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: in and just want me to beat. That's nice to hear.

542
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully y'all don't get tired. You out there getting twelve

564
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: I still remember. My best musical experience is going down

565
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: to a bar coldon the Piintest Bar in Nagshead, North Carolina.

566
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: And what I did is that I'm there with two

567
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: of my buddies from Pittsburgh and we're listening to music.

568
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I walked over to the band and said, this is

569
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the best music I've ever heard. You sound like the

570
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: Horny Horns, and MACYO Parker from the Horny Horns says, yeah,

571
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: we are the Horny Horns. JB just fired us and

572
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: that's that's when he went over to get more funk.

573
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: JB trying to go into Bootsy Collins and his brother

574
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: who's a drummer, and it's like, it was what a

575
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: great moment, that was great moments, What a great moment

576
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: last week? You good transition, great moment last week. The

577
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: Hawks came out, they dominated, and were you surprised by

578
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: this offensive approach? And do you think it was they

579
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: took advantage of a defense or they came out and said, look,

580
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: this is who we are, this is who we're going

581
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: to be. I think in part what they want to be.

582
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: But they can't do it every week. But I think

583
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: they could do it, certainly against the Falcon team that

584
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: had a terrible cornerback, you know, Olivia Oliver Isaiah Oliver

585
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: who gave up sixty two percent completions the week before

586
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: last year. And then you got a rookie and AJ

587
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: Tarrell out there, so you have two young cornerbacks and

588
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: then they get injuries or nickel cornerback he gets hurt

589
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: and not able to play before the game. They lose

590
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: another cornerback during the game, so they were totally vulnerable

591
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: to this and so it's like take advantage of it.

592
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Can't do that this week against the Patriots, the Patriots

593
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: come out with, you know, the best trio of man

594
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: to man cornerbacks in the league, and so now you're

595
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: going to have to find a way to go two

596
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: tight ends. Run the football a little bit more. But

597
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: I think what you want to see is that they

598
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: want more up tempo in the first three quarters and

599
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: particularly on first and second down. A few more passes

600
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: on first and second down, and I think you'll see

601
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: more of that, but not as much as you saw

602
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: last week. Have you ever been around a game where

603
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: someone gave up five yards on defense but you felt

604
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: pretty good about it. Yeah, eight games. Danny O'Neill was

605
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: the one that really presses this stat, and he presses

606
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: the stat that you know, there's been eight times that

607
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: there's been four hundred plus yards thrown against Pete Carroll

608
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: on a defense than when he's in Seattle, they're eight

609
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, and so it's like, okay, So they

610
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: don't care about the meaningless yards. What they care about

611
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: is just making sure you get the turnovers, you get

612
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: the fourth down conversions, and that's the one thing that

613
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: they were able to stop. Did such a great job

614
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: on fourth down conversions. That was something that was a

615
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: strength of them last year, making the big play to

616
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: stop some drives. But it's even I think going to

617
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: be more so this year. All Right, John, I'm not

618
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna lie. When I heard that the Hawks are picking

619
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: up Jamal Adams for two first round picks, I was

620
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a little nervous. I knew what they were getting, at

621
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: least I thought I knew what they were getting, but

622
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: I was a little nervous after Week one. I feel

623
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: good about this situation. How do you feel about it?

624
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Feel good because I mean, and I'll even lean on

625
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: Paul on this one, is because what you're picking up

626
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: is a future Hall of Fame safety. I mean, he's

627
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: a combination of Brian Dawkins and Troy Paula Mallo, and

628
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I think you know, I'm not going to say he'll

629
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: go down as the greatest safety in Seahawk history because

630
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: you've got Cam Chancellor, Earl Thomas can easily I'll throw

631
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: in Paul Warrior and Eugene Robinson. But again, what you're

632
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: looking at is an incredible talent and an incredible playmaker.

633
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean to think that you have a safety that

634
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: blitz eleven times against the Falcons had four pressures in

635
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: a sack. Tell me, Paul, have you seen one like

636
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: that unless his name is Paula Malla now And certainly

637
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: there's some comparisons there. You know when I did a

638
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: thing on him on the Seahawks Dot Com and I

639
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: told you, I said, this is going to look like

640
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: a highlight reel. But this is just how he plays

641
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: every game. He just makes so many plays where I

642
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: will say about him because it will be interesting if

643
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: he sticks around here a long time that you know,

644
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: the greatest safety and Seahawk history, they're all at them

645
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: for an Earl Thomas had a you know, he was

646
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: a free safety. What he brought Cam Chanser brought something.

647
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Denferd Kenny easily brought something different. Jamala Adams to me,

648
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: he's the highbred. I mean, he can play any position,

649
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: but he is a really special player around that line

650
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. And you know what's scary for I think

651
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: teams watching John he didn't even play that great for him.

652
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: He had some busts in the secondary. He made a

653
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: lot of plays, you know, tackles, sacks, tackles behind the

654
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. But he's going to be even better.

655
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: And that's that's why I'm excited about this defense. Well,

656
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: what I like about him because I remember on Serious

657
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: Radio last year I interviewed him and I thought he

658
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: was one of the best interviews football wise I had

659
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: had in the course of the year. He's so knowledgeable

660
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: about the game. He's always learning about the game, and

661
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: he loves the game. You can see it, and what

662
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: you can also see he can do everything, and particularly

663
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: at a time like this, because you know, people thought,

664
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: oh boy, what stupid move that was that to take

665
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: a box safety and give up two first round picks

666
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: and a third round pick and a starting safety get

667
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick back. But what you're looking at,

668
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: and Matt Rule is the one who brought this in

669
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: coming from college to Carolina. You want positionalist players, guys

670
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: that right now, they can do so many versatile things

671
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: like not only did he play strong safety on Sunday,

672
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: he played some free safety too. I mean he's able

673
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: to play linebacker. I think he had one hundred and

674
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: forty three plays at linebacker last year when he was

675
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: with the Jets. He can blitz, he can go all

676
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: through the field. He can make hits and like for example,

677
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: in a game like this against coming up on Sunday

678
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: night when they play New England, It's like, Okay, you

679
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: have Cam Chancellor, Cam chancellor like hitting ability, and all

680
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you have Cam Newton trying to

681
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: run the football, he can knock this guy out with

682
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: a big hit. So can Quandre Diggs. And so no,

683
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: I think that he is such a perfect fit he

684
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: was even more worth the price. John, you mentioned it.

685
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: The Hawks are gonna see a different type of offense

686
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: this week. Last week they saw Matt Ryan throwing the

687
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: ball forty fifty four times. Do you think this defense

688
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: is equipped and ready to play this style of football

689
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: coming up on Sunday? I think so yeah, because you

690
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: know what you can see is that they're going to

691
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: be a running team. I mean they ran the ball,

692
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: you know what, the only three nineteen passes last week.

693
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: And so the key right now is that, Okay, the

694
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: defense needs to obviously have a good game. That's going

695
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: to be one of the keys for the season to

696
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: have a defense that can hold teams under twenty points

697
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: a game. But this is one now where the offense

698
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: needs to do some things because what you can see

699
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: with New England coming is do they have the ability

700
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: to come back if they fall behind? And a running

701
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: offense like this, we watched it last year in Baltimore,

702
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, in the particularly the playoff game against Tennessee.

703
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: In the playoff game and also during the season. If

704
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: you're a running team like this, you don't have a

705
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: hard time if you're behind by ten points. So the

706
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: key right now is for the offense to come out,

707
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: get a good start and be able to have a

708
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: ten point lead, four point lead if necessary at halftime.

709
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: But I think this is one where you know, and

710
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: again this is where a guy like Adams digs. Those

711
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: guys can really come up, make some big hits on

712
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and slow down things. So what do you

713
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen this week? You know what's crazy

714
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: about it? I thought New England was not going to

715
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 1: be good this year, and then I watched their game

716
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: and again they played Miami defense is phenomenal. Running game

717
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: is much more sophisticated than I thought they'd be able

718
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: to pull off. Just just your thoughts on this week

719
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: and who you think is gonna win? Well, I think

720
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna win because I think they're the better team

721
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: I mean, here's a team that was able to make

722
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: now additions to make it one of the most talented

723
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: secondaries in football. Along with the fact that they've added

724
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: to the offensive line, they've got more speed on defense,

725
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: you know, they've got more speed and wide receiver, so

726
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: they've added where you've got a Patriot team that's subtracted.

727
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I contend that they're worse right now at

728
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver than they were last year because all they

729
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: have is Julian Edelman. You know MK Neil, who, of

730
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: course it was a first round pick, who always seems

731
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: to be hurt. Now he's got a DK Medcalf type body,

732
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: but he has no injury problems like that. You know,

733
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: they've got Ryan Izzo and two rookies a tight end,

734
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: and so they're worse right now in the past catching ability,

735
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: so they have to rely on the one run. And

736
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: so now you look at the defense and it's like

737
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: they've lost four of their top five linebackers, two of

738
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: their top three safeties in Danny Shelton, and so sure,

739
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 1: they can do an eleven point game against the Miami Dolphins,

740
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: who had to revamp their offensive line, but what can

741
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: they do against Seattle. So I think Seattle has a

742
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: big edge in this game. John, whenever I have a

743
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: chance to ask you about a coup, I gotta do it.

744
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: John Garda Minshew had a day. Is he a legit

745
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback or is he just a fun store for

746
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: the league? No? I mean I think he's a good quarterback.

747
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Now the question is going to be how can he

748
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: hold up on one of the least talented teams on football,

749
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: And so far he's held up great. Now, last year

750
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: he only won one game against a team with a

751
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: winning record, but that was a big win against an

752
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts team that I thought, with Philip Rivers, the

753
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: improvement with the Forrest Buckner on defense, that that's going

754
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: to be a team that's going to be an eleven

755
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: win team. They beat him an he completed nineteen of

756
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty passes. I mean, think about this. We talk about

757
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: the great performance, one of the great performances NFL history

758
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: last week by Russell Wilson thirty one to thirty five

759
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: eighty three point three percent eighty point three percent completions

760
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: and also throwing for three hundred and twenty two yards

761
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. Minshew had only one in completion, and

762
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: that was debatable because I think it was a drop.

763
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, how you've got to say something positive about

764
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. I know Jim Moore always says something positive,

765
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: but I just wonder can you sustain them with the

766
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: lack of talent around him. It's a cute story, Jones, Hey, John,

767
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: real quick. The forty nine ers, Uh, you know, big

768
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: loss last week. I don't know if it was completely

769
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: unexpected with all their injuries, but you got Sherman who

770
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: went on IR which should be at least three weeks.

771
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Can they I know they're a good team. Are they

772
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna be able to hold up over the next few

773
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: weeks versus the Jets, Giants? And then I think they

774
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: have Philadelphia? Yeah, I think it's I mean, honestly, what

775
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at right now, these are three games that

776
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: they should be able to win, but I wonder if

777
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna win all three, and I tend to think

778
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: they name may not. Because what you're looking at is

779
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: if they're down three cornerbacks of their top four on defense,

780
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: then they're even more injured at the wide receiver position.

781
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, George Kittle has not been

782
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: able to practice for the last two days because of

783
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: a knee injury. You're taking so much out of that team.

784
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: You know. Again, I call it a Super Bowl hangover

785
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: that's now become a migraine. You know. I just get

786
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: the feeling in these games against the Jets and Giants,

787
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: which should be road wins. They might lose one of

788
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: those and then we'll see how they do in the

789
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: home game against Philadelphia. Well, we'll see how they do. John.

790
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: We appreciate you taking time. Keep it, fucking man, We'll

791
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: talk to you. So he just make makes my phones

792
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: of p funks because I want to get funks up.

793
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Jamal Adams stole the show last week

794
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: in Atlantic. Coming up next, Paul Morey and I will

795
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: tell you what we saw and what we need to

796
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: see from the Seahawks defense moving forward. Right here on

797
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: Hot Slide. Hawks Sucks every Thursday from seven to nine,

798
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: live on air on seven ten ESPN, Seattle. No, here's

799
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: your host, Paul and Michael Bump is. Michael Bump is here,

800
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer there. This is Hawks Live every Thursday at

801
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: seven right here on seven ten ESPN. Now, I'm gonna

802
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: talk to the defensive guy. Here, I'm the offensive guy. Yeah,

803
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: I got a defensive guru, but I was an offensive

804
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: coordinator in youth football. Every guy who's ever played defense

805
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: should be an offensive coordinator, and every person who's played offensive. Yeah,

806
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: because you know exactly the weaknesses of the defense. It

807
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: was the most fun I've ever had. Sorry, I got

808
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: off Tanti. Sorry, Jamal Adams, we're gonna talk about you.

809
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you. Let's let's talk about Jamal, and

810
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about this defense. Give me a couple of

811
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: things that you thought they did very well on Sunday. Um,

812
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: I thought just mixing it up, getting them to third down.

813
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: I always tell people, Um, you want to get people

814
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: to third down a lot, even if you're even if

815
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: they're fifty percent on. If if someone was ten for twenty,

816
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: I would say, it's actually successful because you've gotten off

817
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: the field ten times. And then throwing to fourth downs

818
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: that we did, it's really good. So I thought us

819
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: getting them and putting pressure on them on third down,

820
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: because you know it's an offense may come up third

821
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: down all the time and there's a lot of pressure

822
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: to convert on that. The Seahawks, conversely, they didn't have

823
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: very many third downs. They were winning on mixed down,

824
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: so I thought we were winning the mixed down battle.

825
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: I thought we'd put pressure on them. You know. Again,

826
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: we blitzed a lot, you know, between Blair and Jamal Adams.

827
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 1: I bet there were sixteen blitz is just on those.

828
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten all the dat on how many times

829
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: we blitched yet, but it's completely different from what I've

830
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: seen in the past. We have playmakers and that's the

831
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: fun part. And I'll go to one. It was just Mayoa.

832
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: It was that fourth down, the first fourth down play

833
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: by the way, I think Bobby and Jamal messed up on.

834
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: They had like an in and out coverage on a

835
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: tight end and the back and I'm not sure exactly

836
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: how that played out, but nobody went with the back

837
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: out into the flat. He was wide open and Mayo

838
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: came up and he knocks the ball down. Now that's

839
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: a very different game if they convert that. And so

840
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: that's how you win games, right, You play good football,

841
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: your your sound, but you need playmakers. You know. Jamal

842
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: Adams as a playmaker. He made some plays again on

843
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: third down, knocks, some pass down, had the big sack

844
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: came and sliced in on another one on the third

845
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: down and two where he and Bobby Wagner made the play.

846
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: So I just think that's what I'm impressive. We just

847
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: we put pressure on offenses. Now, Um, we have playmakers.

848
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: We got to clean some things up. I mean there's

849
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: there's no quay. It wasn't perfect. You know, there's a

850
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: lot of just what I say, just busts in coverages.

851
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: They haven't played together yet, right, I mean the camps

852
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: are their walkthrough camps now, I mean you're right, you

853
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: just you know, there's the whole pandemic. There's no two

854
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: of days. It takes time when you have as many

855
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: new players as the Seahawks have. Think about that whole

856
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: if to line other than read is really new. Yeah,

857
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: yeah you can put you know, pun A Ford in there,

858
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: but you know he's kind of new. Um. You know,

859
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: Brooks played about seven snaps, not much. You know, Bobby

860
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: and KG obviously you're the veterans. Put that secondary other

861
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: than Griffin, it's all new, even Diggs And I thought

862
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: Diggs one thing, we got some smackers in the second. Yeah.

863
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: You know what I liked about the defense, I call

864
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: him oo plays there were a play where where a

865
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of guys maybe go ooh, like, oh he did that.

866
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: LJ had an oo play. Yeah, Mayowa had an uh

867
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: play Diggs of course, Jamal. I mean there were so

868
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: many guys who made an impact during that game, which

869
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: encouraged me. Now got to clean up the past game.

870
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: You're giving up a bunch of yards throwing the football,

871
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,959
Speaker 1: But when a team throws a ball fifty four times

872
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: and they're down, you're gonna expect that you're just playing,

873
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: not to give up the big play. So what I

874
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: want to see from this team this week, though, I

875
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: want to see discipline football. Because if your assignment is

876
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you get the quarterback. If your assignment to

877
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: pill out with the running back, you get the running back.

878
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: Because this New England offense, it's counting on you messing up.

879
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: It's counting on you taking a false step and having

880
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: them exploit that. Yeah, I'm curious to see how and

881
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: what type of defense we play against. I wanted to

882
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: say Carolina, New England, Um, we we ran what I

883
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: would consider if you didn't know who was who, you

884
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: would say it's a three four defense. Yeah, we had

885
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 1: three interior linement we actually had Puntaford on the center

886
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: as a true nose um. We had both Mayoa and

887
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: Irvin standing up. So just looking at the look to

888
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: X and O of it, uh, it looked like a

889
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: three four defense. There were some traps in there that

890
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, we got pushed because Punafford's tough. If he's

891
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: in a gap and they try to double team him,

892
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: he stalemates him pretty hard. He was on the note,

893
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: he was playing the nose on the center. He got

894
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: washed really hard on one trap and it was just

895
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: too big a hole for a linebacker Jamal Adams to

896
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: make a play on that. In this game, you know,

897
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: we can't have those kind of mistakes because Atlanta wasn't

898
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: a great running team. They're a great throwing team, but

899
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: not a great running team. This one, we gotta be

900
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: really sound. The one thing I think we are immediately

901
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: we've become a great tackling team again, and that's something

902
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: we were always good at. You know, really, up until

903
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I thought our our tackling

904
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: just wasn't what it used to be. All of a sudden,

905
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: now you got digs and you got you know, Adams.

906
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: I think Bobby just Bobby looks healthy. Um kJ again,

907
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: I think kJ is gonna have another fantastic year. Um

908
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: he looked good. So I think that's Griffin can tackled.

909
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: Dunbar not known for it, you know, but you know,

910
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: he stepped up and made some some some hits and

911
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: some good tackles. So I think we've become a good

912
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: tackling team. So teams are gonna have to work really

913
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: hard after the catch and at the point of attacking

914
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, you talked about tackling. I'll never forget

915
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar that one running had where it felt like

916
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: nine out of eleven guys has slipped off of him.

917
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: So it's encouraging to or you say that. Now. One

918
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: guy who played well was Marky's Blair. When you play

919
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: against the team that rolls the ball so often, you're

920
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: gonna see Nickel out there. I don't think that's not

921
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: gonna be the case this week. I think you're gonna

922
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: see a lot of a lot more base defense, and

923
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: that means that Marky's Blair won't be on the field

924
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: as much when this team puts out that base defense

925
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: or the strengths were the weaknesses, Yeah, I you know,

926
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: it's that'll be interesting because uh and I know that

927
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: you know, New England ran a bunch of different formations.

928
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: I think Cam is more comfortable when he's in the

929
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: shotgun or you know, not under center. Um. You know

930
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: there in their depth chart they start three wide receivers.

931
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: So I don't I think it's gonna be you know,

932
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: indicative of what New England does from personnel. We'll match

933
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: that because you're right, Blair was in fifty five plays

934
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: this last game. We were predominantly in nickel. I don't

935
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: have a problem with him in the running game. I

936
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: mean you had that one fourth down fake where he

937
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: came in and he put his head right onto football

938
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: and cause to fumble. He is known to be a

939
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: very good tackler and he is. He's physical. You put

940
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver on him. Wide receivers don't block him.

941
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's really strong. I mean he'll he'll actually

942
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: run them into the line of scrimmage and make some plays.

943
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be an interesting matchup. I

944
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: don't know, I really don't. You know, do you put

945
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: an extra line, but I mean I think you have

946
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: Bruce Irvan obviously is the LEO you know you got

947
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: kJ and Bobby and then you know you got more

948
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: of your base defense. So I'm not sure if we'll

949
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: have that three four look like we did last week.

950
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: I think that may have been more for some pass

951
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: rush situations. Now, we talked to kJ and we both

952
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 1: mentioned that this is going to be a different type

953
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 1: of game in what New England does. What I've watched

954
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: the film is everything looks like a run. Like they

955
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: get into their past protection, they still pull that guard

956
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: to make it look like a run. So these defensive

957
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: line in these linebackers have to be super discipline. What

958
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: like what does a pulling guard do to that second

959
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: and third level on a defense? I could imagine it

960
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 1: really tests them to be disciplined and really read their keys,

961
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: right Yeah, I think it's it's it's more difficult on linebackers, obviously,

962
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: particularly in his zone, because you've got to honor. Okay,

963
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: all a sudden you pull a guard, I'm thinking a

964
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: trap or some some some my gap moves over at

965
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: that point, right, Um, I don't necessarily have anybody threatening

966
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: me in the in the passing game, it's easier if

967
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm a safety, I'm on a tight end or or

968
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: even a slot back, because I don't care what the

969
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: lineman do. That's my secondary read. If I get a

970
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: tied in release, I'm playing pass. If I get a

971
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver, I'm I'm playing pass and they block that different.

972
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: Now I go to my secondary read, which is lineman

973
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: at that point. Um, so it is tough, and weren't

974
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: we weren't great last week. Now we got hit on

975
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: a couple of play actions. Um, and we gotta get

976
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: better at it. We got once we see it. I

977
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: always say, turn and run you want interceptions. Got a

978
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: lot of interceptions in my life by being fooled a

979
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But then the quarterback goes, ah, he's fooled.

980
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: I can turn and run. We call that a low

981
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: key flex. What you did right there. You got a

982
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 1: lot of interceptions in your life. That's what the kids

983
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: call a flex. So I didn't mean to interrupt you,

984
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: but thanks for flexing. Honest, I did have a lot.

985
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, thank you for bringing that up. Um, sorry,

986
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: but you can't if you turn. But if you turn,

987
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: you can get fulled just a little bit. You turn

988
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: and run, and you know where your spot is. And

989
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: if you understand, you know pattern recognition and all what

990
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: they're trying to do work behind you also, quarterback says, oh,

991
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: you know he has a hustle interception. Yeah, we got

992
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: to get better at that. And that's been a weakness

993
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: of us for many years, is working deep, you know,

994
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: crossing routes behind their linebackers. And they're gonna try that,

995
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: but they're gonna do it with one two receivers. They're

996
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna end up blocking seven, eight nine guys sometimes, right,

997
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: And I saw him one time. They had one receiver

998
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: run a deep end last week in New England and

999
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: then they had another one with their only two receivers

1000
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: in the route, everybody else's block and why we're gonna

1001
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: protect Cam and we're gonna hope that there's a void

1002
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: somewhere in that zone along the way. All right, So

1003
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: let's flip it on you now, because let me tell

1004
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: you what, this is a whole different defense. They are,

1005
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: they're physical, they're sound. Their secondary is very good. I

1006
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: mean we think ours is good. They're cover guys, they're

1007
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: two cornered. Man, they're really good. They're quick. So we're

1008
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to have time for Russell. I think we

1009
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: can run the football on them, but their sound. I mean,

1010
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: it's so, what are we doing. We're throwing the ball

1011
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: thirty five times? No, I don't. I think that initially

1012
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: you have to establish the run. You're gonna see a

1013
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 1: defense that is very confident. They're gonna get man. Gilmore

1014
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 1: is gonna man your best guy up. You got Phillips

1015
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: out there, the new guy. He's gonna man guys up.

1016
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: And they're not afraid. And that's what I appreciate about

1017
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: this defense, and I saw a little bit of that

1018
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: in the Seahalls defense, is that there's a confidence when

1019
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: it's time to make plays. And Stephan Gilmore, I mean,

1020
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: you watch the film on this dude. He's not fooled.

1021
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: You can give him all the pretty releases you want

1022
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: to off the line of scrimmage, but he's gonna look

1023
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: at your hips and he is going to attack you

1024
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: at the top of your route. And you tell me

1025
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: if you saw this out of him too, uh, Paul

1026
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: at the top of his route. He is so good

1027
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: with his hands. You're not supposed to grab it's a pi,

1028
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: but he doesn't in a way to where it doesn't

1029
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: really impede what the receiver's doing. But n less the receiver. No, look,

1030
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm right there, and visually it messes up with the

1031
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: quarterback is looking at because if I'm a quarterback, I

1032
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: get to the drop the back of my my my

1033
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: drop back, and I see a receiver with the DV

1034
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: with his hands on him, I'm checking off and I'm

1035
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: going to the next guy. Yeah, it's like a lawyer,

1036
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're called fence writers, right. He take

1037
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: that right to the letter of the law, and you

1038
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: stay on your side of the fence. And he does

1039
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: really good with that. So he doesn't get called for those.

1040
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: But I don't think he needs to. He's so quick

1041
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: and his change of direction and the way. Even that

1042
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: interception he had last week, I thought it was a

1043
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: really good interception. Fantastic hands um. When he had six

1044
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: interceptions last year, Uh yeah, since breaks, you know, to

1045
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: get six is really hard. I six in nineteen eighty.

1046
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: But but it is. It's hard. I mean, you've got

1047
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: to you gotta have good hand, you gotta practice that,

1048
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: and you gotta be prepared for it. So I'm excited

1049
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: for this matchup and I just I think we can

1050
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't really guess I think he's really

1051
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: confident a little bit like Dunbar. Dunbar is a great

1052
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: pattern read person. He just trusts his instincts on it.

1053
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes you go, oh, he guessed. I go. Some

1054
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: people just have a feel that well, that quarterback he

1055
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: doesn't throw it. Now, he's gonna get sacked. So I'm

1056
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm jumping what I see. Yeah, there's other times I go, oh,

1057
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 1: he's he's not there. He may be able to pull

1058
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: the ball down. He's got a great feel for it.

1059
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a fun game. And

1060
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, look too, great coaching staffs um. But here's

1061
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: the one thing that last week New England didn't see.

1062
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is garbage. He's garbage. What do you mean. He's

1063
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: been in the league forever and he's a great team

1064
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: you know. Here, here's the thing about him that he's

1065
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: another one of those he's a he's that fence rider. Right,

1066
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: you go, he's not bad, and then he just makes

1067
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: three just stupid throws that you go, why did you

1068
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: do that? Twenty seven throws? You are pretty good, but

1069
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: he's got no arm strength. What they're about to see

1070
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: in Russell Wilson and with our receivers they're they're gonna

1071
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna see something they haven't seen either. He gets

1072
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: opportunities because he went to Harvard. Paul, all right, if

1073
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: you can get in, do it. Coming up next, we'll

1074
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: go inside the room film room and revisit the biggest

1075
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: plays from the Seahawks victory in Atlanta. That's around the

1076
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: corner on Hawks Live. Hawks's Live every Thursday from seven

1077
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: to nine, Live on air on seven to ten ESPNCL.

1078
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: That's right, Hawks Live on Michael Bampas. That's Paul Mori're

1079
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: from Century Link every Thursday at seven o'clock. Little Sierra there,

1080
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: that's the error, Paul. That's Russell's wife. But you know what,

1081
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: here's just funny. You looked at me like I'm to

1082
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: teach a little child. Will you flexing on me? There?

1083
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: That's a low key flex. Yes, let's go. Look. By

1084
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: the end of the year, I'm gonna have a lot

1085
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: of stuff there. This will be good. Ally, we're going

1086
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: to the film room. Three biggest players from the Falcons victory.

1087
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: This first player we're gonna break down wil Russell. Wilson

1088
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: finds Carson on screen pass for a nineteen yard touchdown

1089
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: rush and quarterbacks will tell you about that. But here's

1090
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 1: a quick pass Carson left side. Ten five touchdown Seahawks,

1091
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: Chris Carson making it look easy down the left side,

1092
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with a little flare pass to the left.

1093
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: Carson takes it untouched and old Dan Quinn can do.

1094
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: The coach of the Falcons is look up at the

1095
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: big screen and say what just happened. I'll tell you

1096
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: what happened. A screen pass left side and a gauntlet

1097
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: of blockers for Chris Carson down the left side, and

1098
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks take a thirteen three league. So for all

1099
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: of you out there who have taped the game, I

1100
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,759
Speaker 1: want you to go back and watch this play. It's

1101
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: one minute left in the first quarter. They're on the

1102
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: nineteen yard line, just so you can fast forward it.

1103
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: This is something you have not seen from the Seahawks.

1104
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: And it's more the timing of the screen. We talk

1105
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: about screen as a defensive coach. I screen scared me

1106
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: more than anything, really. Yeah, and particularly if you're in

1107
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: zone you get the big drop, you know, it's look

1108
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: it's like a punt return, you know, and you've got

1109
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: these big hogs out in front. It's tough. If it's

1110
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: man to man and you get the one guy blocked up,

1111
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. So they're very scared. You've got to

1112
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: really centch up on him quickly as a defense. But

1113
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: for those who go and look at this, what's so

1114
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: impressive about this is our three interior lineman, our center,

1115
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: and our two guards and particularly Damian Lewis are right guard.

1116
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: The timing of this is perfect. You got Dwayne Brown

1117
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: actually leading the way as well. He knocks the linebacker

1118
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: out wide, and then Damian Lewis and Postic are leading

1119
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: the charge. And right when you get to the goal line,

1120
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis puts a hurting on this dB. I mean,

1121
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: he's it's the timing of it. It looks so orchestrated perfectly,

1122
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: and that is what's different about our screens. Everybody's gonna

1123
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: have to be aware of this. This is a problem

1124
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: for defenses. Yeah, it's a problem. You know when I

1125
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: was coaching, when I told d Lineman, whenever it feels

1126
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: too good to be true, it probably is. Those those

1127
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 1: offensive linemen take two kicks, they let you free like

1128
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: you have a sack. No, sir, what Russell does, he

1129
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,720
Speaker 1: does a great job of holding the safety. He doesn't

1130
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: give the screen away. A lot of young guys, a

1131
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of inexperienced guys, would just throw the screen right now.

1132
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: They're not gonna hold the safety. They're not worry about

1133
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: getting to their drop. I see Russell Wilson being a

1134
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: veteran here, and then we played defense once or twice

1135
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: in our life. You never want to see three three

1136
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: fifty pounds running at you. They don't even have to

1137
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: block you. They're just gonna get in your way because

1138
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna go around him. Now, if it was a

1139
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty something versus a number fifteen, you're gonna take that

1140
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: block on. When you see sixty seventy those big boys

1141
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: running at you, there's no way you're gonna get in

1142
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: front of them. And if the Hawks can get really

1143
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: good at their screen game, this is gonna open up

1144
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: a lot of other things for them because now you

1145
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: can fake a screen and take a shot. Now you

1146
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: got the defense on their hills. So I want to

1147
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: see what the Patriots do. How did they play this screen?

1148
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: Because the Hawks have to show this, they have to

1149
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: keep them honest and hold them accountable. And it's and

1150
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: it's so good and By the way, we used to

1151
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: call them pass rushing geniuses because they would all of

1152
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, you see three guys and they think they're

1153
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna get to the quarterback, and we go if it's

1154
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: too good to be true, you pass rushing genius. It's

1155
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: too good to be true, Too good to be true? Ye?

1156
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: All right? The next play, we got Jamal Adams on

1157
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: the third down sack of Matt Ryan from his own

1158
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: forty four Seahawks line. They get the riding and they

1159
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: knock him off his feet back near the thirty five

1160
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 1: yard line. Any of the Adams again, he has been close,

1161
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: and that time he gets there. The first sack of

1162
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: the day on Matt Ryan, and it comes from the

1163
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 1: strong safety, Jamal Adam. Oh god. So we've got seven

1164
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: guys lined up on the line of scrimmage. And again,

1165
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: if you've tape the game, seven forty five left in

1166
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: the second quarter, we're up fourteen to nine. It's third

1167
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: and six. And I told you when we got Jamal

1168
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: Adams what makes him so special. Look, he hasn't had

1169
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions. It's the amount of plays he

1170
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: makes on third down to get you off the field.

1171
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable with knockdown passes and him coming off the

1172
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: corner here for a blitz. But just to set this up,

1173
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: we got seven guys up, We're actually gonna drop and

1174
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: only send four guys. I believe we send four guys.

1175
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: We went to three, maybe five. Bruce Irvant drops kJ

1176
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: Wright is up between the garden center. He drops and

1177
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 1: they both pick up the wide received. Bruce Irvant picks

1178
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: up the slant guy right from the get go. If

1179
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't pick him up, maybe Matt Ryan can throw

1180
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: it real quick. But what's so impressed him about Jamal Adams. Look,

1181
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: no one blocks him, so you wouldn't think it's that

1182
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: big of a deal. But he comes out of a cannon.

1183
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: Most guys are afraid to miss the quarterback by him

1184
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: stepping up right, and so they all of a sudden

1185
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,439
Speaker 1: they throttle down and they give him time him time

1186
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: to make the throw or give him make a miss.

1187
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: And he steps up into the pocket. This guy, once

1188
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: he sees the kill, he goes and kills It's He's

1189
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: the best blitz and safety I've ever seen. I like

1190
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: what Jamal Adams does in this play. I also like

1191
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: the scheme on the offensive side. The right side has

1192
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: three guys, three offensive linement, center, guard, tackle. There are

1193
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: four guys to be accountable on that side, and Matt

1194
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: Ryan is still having a play fake with Girly. So

1195
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: if you really, if you count the numbers that you

1196
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: have the center, the guard, the tackle, in the running

1197
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,479
Speaker 1: back who are responsible for the four guys on that side.

1198
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: With that play action, the running back is now not

1199
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: accounting for. He is helping out the center and it

1200
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: overwhelms that side of the offensive line. And that's what

1201
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: I like about it. It's a numbers game, end of

1202
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: the day. If we have more guys coming, then you

1203
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: guys have blocking, you should win this matchup. Now you

1204
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: got the guy firing off the edge and Jamal Adams

1205
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: who does the things that you just mentioned, who he

1206
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: doesn't throttle down. He's getting shot out of a cannon.

1207
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: He's trying to deliver a blow. These guys don't stand

1208
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: a chance. This type of play is what I want

1209
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: to see against the Patriots early and I want to

1210
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: see what the Patriots do because typically what you do

1211
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: is it's bump, bump, bump. Now every assignment on that

1212
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: offensive line is bump. Once bumped over to the right

1213
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: in this situation. So, um, there is some some cat

1214
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: and mouths being played here. Now, yeah, they they definitely

1215
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: schemed them. And you know, once you know which way

1216
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: the center is gonna slide or so in this particular case,

1217
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: they knew he wasn't gonna slide to our left there right,

1218
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: and so now the running back has to pick up

1219
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams or Bobby Wagner, and he's gonna pick up

1220
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 1: the quickest person to the quarterback that's straight line. Bobby's

1221
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: coming through the a gap between the center and the guard,

1222
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: and so that leaves Jamal wide open. But this you

1223
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: free up Bobby Wagner and Jamal in scheme, they're going

1224
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: to win that battle. This is fine. We again, we

1225
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen this, and this is so different from a

1226
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: philosophy and just an aggressiveness, you know. We look, we've

1227
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: been at vanilla defense for a long time. Fun to see. Yeah,

1228
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: put these offensive alignment in a bind, all right. The

1229
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: next place we got Russell Wilson finds dk metcalf for

1230
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard touchdown on fourth and five. Four man rush.

1231
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Russ looks he's gonna layd up over the top. He's

1232
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: got a man down there. It's Metcalf. He's got it.

1233
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Touchdown Shayhawks on fourth down in five. Russ takes the snap,

1234
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: stands back there like a patient man and waits, and

1235
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: fourteen gets open for six a thirty eight yard or

1236
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: holy smoke, you guys are covering DK Metcalf with one man.

1237
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Forget about it. He beats them for six. First off.

1238
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Big ups. Rabel. His voice and his calls are amazing.

1239
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Forget about it. Let's practice in all offseason. He told

1240
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: them he actually practiced a game in His wife Sharon

1241
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: was probably driving her nuts, but yeah, he was in

1242
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a car. They were he was getting ready for the game,

1243
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: doing his call. I heard him in a Wyman practicing

1244
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: during a mock game. Yeah, these guys, these guys are

1245
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: ready to go. But let's set this up. Paul Well,

1246
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: people forget about this, or might forget about this. Is

1247
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Falcons had a third down stop. They're celebrating. They're running

1248
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: down the sideline and and apparently Russell looks at the sideline.

1249
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: There's telecommunication going on and they're all on the same page.

1250
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: That makes me really excited because now I feel like Russell,

1251
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer and Pete are really on the same page. The

1252
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: don't even need to speak. You know, you've been married

1253
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: for what thirty two years? You say, you just look

1254
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: at your wife sometimes and she knows what you're thinking.

1255
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: She feel like, this is what's happening right before our eyes.

1256
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: That's one of the things I loved about this. Yeah. Yeah,

1257
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: when she looks at men, I know she's she's thinking

1258
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: he's hotty two years so so this one as well.

1259
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: So you remember the first in completion U going back

1260
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: to it might have been in the third quarter, second quarter.

1261
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: It must have been in the second quarter. It was

1262
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: a third down and four, almost exact same formation. Metcalf

1263
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: tries to release outside and the corner just stones him

1264
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and there's nowhere to throw the ball. Russell kind of

1265
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: throws it low in between him that it's an incomplete pass.

1266
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Same formation, same release, but now Metcalf this time as

1267
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: he bends outside, the corner jumps outside and Metcalf b

1268
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: lines it with a straight line for a go route. Now, look,

1269
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: it's a perfect throw. It's awesome protection. The pocket is huge.

1270
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: It allows Russell to step up into the pocket make

1271
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: this throw. But this is where maturity comes in. Yes,

1272
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: DK got Stone on that third down play. A lot

1273
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: of guys lose confidence on that same play, fourth down

1274
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: and four, fourth down and five, they're thinking he's going

1275
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: to run a quick little hitch route or a slant route.

1276
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: He takes that play away immediately. Metcalf set him up

1277
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. It was awesome. It's all about his

1278
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: hand I think that's where DK got in trouble early,

1279
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,919
Speaker 1: was that he's trying to grab and just muscle guys

1280
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: when it's really like, you're so strong. We call it

1281
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: the push clean. You push that hand away, you clean

1282
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: up the other one, just in case they grabbed. You're

1283
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: a big boy. No one's gonna put hands in you

1284
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: like that. Just believe in him. That's the evolution of

1285
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. I wish I was on that sideline and

1286
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I could hear the conversation. Someone talked to him. I'm

1287
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: sure he communicated with Russell, his receivers coach, his offensive coordinator, look,

1288
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: let's do this, let's try this, and they went back

1289
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: to him, and that shows the confidence that they have

1290
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: in this guy, like, look, you messed it up early,

1291
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: but we're gonna come right back to you and you're

1292
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna execute at a high level. The guy had what

1293
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: ninety yards and a touchdown and he didn't play his

1294
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: best game week one, So I'm excited to see how

1295
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: he progresses from here. Yeah, good good stuff. And you know,

1296
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I think what we saw in all three of those plays.

1297
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: And for those who just heard this, we got playmakers.

1298
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean Carson Metcalf, Jamal Adams, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson

1299
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: were loaded talent. It's really fun. Yeah, it's fun. This

1300
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: offense is um showing that they're dynamic in their versatile

1301
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: I think last year when you talk about the Seattle Seahouse,

1302
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: you just talk about the run game. Even though you

1303
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 1: had a receiver go over one thousand, you had another

1304
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 1: receiver go over nine hundred yards, You're still talking about

1305
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: this pass games, I mean the run game. So if

1306
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: this is the biggest rope it up I've ever seen,

1307
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm loving it. I love that they came out and

1308
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: throw through the football thirty five times because now this

1309
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: is just setting up the run. The patrists are gonna

1310
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna focus on the pass. They're gonna respect the run,

1311
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: but they have to focus on what they did the

1312
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: previous week. Yeah, I mean you don't have to set

1313
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: set the pass up with the run. You can set

1314
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: the run up with the pass, and that's what you're

1315
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: talking about. Look, I just think with the screen game,

1316
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: with us being able to throw it, with the playmakers

1317
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: we have, I think we have a very good offensive

1318
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: line that can protect along the way. I think they're

1319
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good run offensive line too. You

1320
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: just now, I mean Bill Belichick, who's a game plan.

1321
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm really curious that they and set this up ahead

1322
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: of time because the one thing about New England, nobody

1323
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: game plans more than them. And what I mean by

1324
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: that is, look, everybody goes in and game plans, right,

1325
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: but they almost redo a playbook every week. I mean,

1326
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 1: you don't know what they're gonna do. I mean, the

1327
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks used to live by three deep and man to

1328
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: man with a single free safety. Now there's other teams

1329
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: that are covered two. You know, other teams are, but

1330
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: you know their identity. With New England, you really don't know.

1331
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: They try to take away what you do best. The

1332
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks say, stop us, we don't care what you do.

1333
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what we do best. Right, So you know,

1334
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: setting this up is really interesting because I'm really curious

1335
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: to see how this game plan is going to play out.

1336
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: So now the Hawks come back to Seattle. It sounds

1337
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,439
Speaker 1: like there was no home field advantage in Atlanta. Well

1338
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: that's usually the case anyways. So I mean, what should

1339
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: we expect out of these guys. I mean, they came

1340
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: out on the road, they were hyped up. You look

1341
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: at them pregame, everyone's ready to go. And can they

1342
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: continue that same intensity now that they're here, even with

1343
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 1: no one in the stands. Yeah. Look, they do it

1344
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: in practice, right, I mean, they're legendary for how they practice.

1345
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: And that's why I get in Jamal Adams, I think

1346
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:16,479
Speaker 1: brought that back up. I think the one thing about

1347
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: Earl and Sherman, I mean they were high intensity practice guys.

1348
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: You got you know another one there in Jamal Adams.

1349
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I think that helps they Also, there's a reason why

1350
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: we had two mock games in this stadium. It was

1351
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: to prepare them for the surroundings of what the sound's

1352
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like, because they knew we working to have

1353
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: fans the first couple of games. I don't think the

1354
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Seahawks care where they play, you know, if it's on

1355
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 1: a practice field, if it's no fans, if it's out

1356
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: in a play yard, they're gonna play hard. The Seahawks

1357
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: are gonna play well, They're gonna play hard in Atlanta

1358
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: in Century League. Yeah at the tailgate, Yeah, don't matter. Hey,

1359
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: we're in Century Link right now. We're working hard. Let's go,

1360
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: We're grinding. Yeah, all right, super Bowl hangover in San Francisco.

1361
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 1: I'll get Paul's thoughts as we go around the NFL.

1362
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Coming up on Hawks Lie Hawks Slide every Thursday from

1363
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: seven and nine, live on air on seven chennespn SH.

1364
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Slive. That is Paul Morier right

1365
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: to my right, the guy who had six picks, more

1366
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: picks than I had catches in a year. I am

1367
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. This is Hawks Lives six one year. Hey,

1368
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: my career. You know. No, I'm sorry, you're flexing. I

1369
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: love to flax. I was telling you guys in their breakthough,

1370
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm flexed out. I got nothing laugh all right. So

1371
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: Week one, let's talk about the NFC West. YEA. So

1372
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: my prediction was the Rams would finish at the bottom,

1373
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals would be after that, Frisco at three and

1374
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: then the Hawks number one. After seeing what the Cardinals

1375
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: did to San fran and seeing how the Rams ran

1376
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the football, that's what impressed me the most. Now, granted

1377
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Rams they got away with a fly but Lebron type thing,

1378
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: but the way they ran the football, it was power football.

1379
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: This wasn't little boy football. This is a big boy football.

1380
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've changed a bit as far as expectations.

1381
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: What are your expectations NFC was Kyle lee Man after

1382
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: one week. But the Rams remind them in the running

1383
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: game about from about three years ago. And when they

1384
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: really put it hurting on the Seahawks, it's it's complex,

1385
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: it's physical, and you got to match it. Um. And

1386
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 1: they the way they blocked, they have chance to go downfield,

1387
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: and I was shocked they beat the Cowboys. I really

1388
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 1: thought that the Rams were taking a step back and

1389
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would win. Um. So that's kind of a

1390
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: bummer because they've definitely moved up in my thoughts too

1391
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 1: to probably number two. And the reason why I'm saying

1392
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 1: too is, look, San Francisco, they have the worst quarterback

1393
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: in the league. Not I love Jimmy's he's a nice

1394
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: looking guy and and he whatever, But um, you look,

1395
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: the word is out on him and he can't throw

1396
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 1: out side. Really the numbers, you know, so you just

1397
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: you condense that field on them. And again, I think

1398
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: that's why we got Dunbar to help with these crossing

1399
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: the routes and slants and all of those things. I'm

1400
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 1: not sold on Arizona because I don't think their defense

1401
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: is that good. I just think San Francisco so beat

1402
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: up right now, they have no one to throw too.

1403
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna probably be good. And look, they

1404
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: got the Jets, the Giants and a half Philadelphia and

1405
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: then Miami. They probably win three of those games, so

1406
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna be three and two after five games, they're

1407
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: still gonna be in a hunt. Let's let this thing

1408
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: play out. Everybody gets healthy. I think the Seahawks are

1409
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: probably the best team just what I saw in Week one,

1410
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: but I think the Rams they concerned me. Now going

1411
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: into Week one, one of my concerns around the league

1412
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: was this is gonna be sloppy football. I mean, they

1413
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 1: didn't have preseasons. You don't know what they're gonna do.

1414
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of play, and

1415
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: then especially because the day before on Saturday, I watched

1416
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: college football. You can't trust eighteen twenty two year olds.

1417
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: That's that's a whole nother story. Plus they the amount

1418
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: of time they've last they lost all of their spring

1419
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean springs huge in college. I mean you're playing

1420
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: spring games like they're real games. I mean you don't

1421
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: need fans in the stands and when you're in college

1422
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: because you're trying to make the team and you're trying

1423
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: to get a starting spot. Um, you know, I think

1424
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: I think I read somewhere where holding was down in

1425
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,759
Speaker 1: Week one. Really yeah, So I think the league probably

1426
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: said let's just let them play. Let's just go out

1427
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,560
Speaker 1: and let them make some plays. And I thought the

1428
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: football was good. They're professionals, they've been playing football a

1429
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: long time. I think what does really proved more than

1430
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: anything is that three of days and two of days

1431
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I had to go through my whole career weren't necessary.

1432
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I might have got a couple more years out. So

1433
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: in this division you got Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, Jared

1434
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Golf and Crop Garoppolo. Your Kyler Murray the second best

1435
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: quarterback in this division after Week one. Now we're not

1436
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: projecting for the future after week one? Do you think

1437
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 1: I say he is right? Now? What are your thoughts? Well,

1438
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he's dangerous. You know, there's no question he

1439
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: has a you know, one of the best wide receivers

1440
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and Hopkins to throw too, so and they got an

1441
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, an inventive head coach, offensive coordinator. Yeah, I

1442
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: think he's the most dangerous guy. But look, Goff was

1443
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: that kind of guy that he watched him and you go, oh,

1444
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: he's not playing very well. He's not playing very well.

1445
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: But if he's got time in a pocket, the kind

1446
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 1: of routes they run, those deep routes, he's dangerous. Um,

1447
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: that's a toss up for me right now. But Murray,

1448
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: certainly he's he's a problem. Okay, Well, now let's talk

1449
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: about the old quarterback Tom Brady. First week two picks

1450
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,560
Speaker 1: arians calls him out. Is that the right approach is

1451
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: does he still have something left in the tank? Was?

1452
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: There's so many questions surrounded this dude right now, right,

1453
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 1: it's Belichick the reason why he is who he is.

1454
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Tom Brady? He looked forty four.

1455
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: He just looked old. I mean, look, you can't hide

1456
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: mask age. It's hard to do, you know, even in

1457
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: a uniform. But he looked frail. Maybe it was just

1458
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: a uniform. It doesn't look the same. You know, before

1459
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: he had the red, white and blue with the stars,

1460
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: he looked like this. You know, I don't know whatever

1461
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, Captain America, I guess you know, in that

1462
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: uniform and this one now he's he just looks frail,

1463
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: and he looks old, and I know he's only forty four.

1464
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: I liked Tom personally. I think he's, you know, a

1465
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: really good person and you wish him well. But father time, man,

1466
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: it's tough in the NFL. But I will say I

1467
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: don't think he played that bad. He just made two

1468
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: terrible throws and that const him again. All right, Richard Sherman,

1469
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: he's injured. He's back on that. You know, we're looking

1470
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: at me. He came back from Achilles injury, had a

1471
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: great year, was a pro bowler. Backed all the talk up.

1472
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Is he done or do you think he still has

1473
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years left. No, Look, he's as long

1474
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: as that pass rush is there. Richard Sherman's still the

1475
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: best route raider. He's still the best jam corner out there.

1476
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: He is so good at what he does. But you

1477
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: got a calf injury, you've got an achilles injury. He's

1478
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: starting to see the same injury over and over. You know,

1479
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: his speed's not there anymore. He saw that in the

1480
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean he just got you know, out

1481
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: run and that's you know something he's been able to

1482
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: hold off. It's tough to play a corner in this

1483
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 1: league if you can't run, and he's definitely lost a step.

1484
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: But again, if their pass rush is there and that

1485
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: ball has to come out on time, Richard will have

1486
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: a good year. Russell Wilson Best MVP, Well, he at

1487
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: least get a vote this year. Yeah, he'll get a vote.

1488
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: They got to win at least eleven games. It's all

1489
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: about the wins, right, I mean when we were winning,

1490
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: it was about our defense. He just didn't get the

1491
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: opportunity even though he deserved it. I thought in twenty

1492
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: fifteen he probably I deserved it. He had a phenomenal year.

1493
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: But Cam Newton that year, I think he had like

1494
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: thirty rushing touchdown there was some crazy number. I know

1495
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't that much, but but it was. You know,

1496
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: it was one of those he had so many touchdowns

1497
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: that you know, he got the MVPN rightfully, So he's

1498
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: in the mix. He's got we gotta win eleven twelve games. Uh,

1499
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: he gotta hope, you know, Mahomes takes a step back

1500
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: and that they go fifteen and one. But he gonna

1501
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 1: get a vote this year. He gonna get a vote.

1502
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a vote. All right, let's do it

1503
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: all right, coming up next, we'll give you our final

01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: they can't. I think they need to be the team

1511
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: that tackles well. Like you mentioned, you feel like they

1512
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: tackle well this year. They're wrapping guys up and bringing

1513
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: them to the ground, and I think they need to

1514
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: be disciplined on defense. Offensively, I think they need to

1515
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: play a different type of game. What are your keys

1516
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: to success this one? Well, I'd like to get some turnovers.

1517
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a big one. And I think

1518
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: they're they're there to be had. You know, last week

1519
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: I thought we could have had a couple that you know,

1520
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 1: we just miss rad on some things. We're gonna have

1521
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: to please sound. Um. You know, we were flying around,

1522
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: hitting people and making plays. But yeah, there were some

1523
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,599
Speaker 1: busts there that you know, Luckily, you know, Matt Ryan

1524
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: didn't find them all. Um. I don't know if Cam

1525
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: well either. Cam locks in on a certain spot. Um.

1526
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 1: But here's what they will do, and this is why

1527
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: we have to be disciplined. They'll block nine guys. I mean,

1528
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: they'll send one guy out or they'll block eight up.

1529
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: And so they'll give them some time to let that

1530
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: route develop. So we've got to be on that too

1531
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: and not leave anybody really singled up. I did look offensively.

1532
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a tough time against US. Um,

1533
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: just because they don't have any receivers. You don't have

1534
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,240
Speaker 1: really a great tight end. They have some good running backs.

1535
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: They have Cam who's absolutely a threat. I mean he

1536
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: is to me kind of his old self in the

1537
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 1: running game. So and and look at Belichick and number

1538
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: gonna find our weakness, and we got to make sure that,

1539
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're prepared, you know, to handle that. So

1540
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,720
Speaker 1: that would be it. I think offensively will be fine.

1541
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the best defense, you know, or one

1542
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: of the best in them in San Francisco we face

1543
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: this year, but we face them. You know, you got

1544
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: to face those guys. I don't think we're putting up

1545
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: thirty eight points, but you know, I think we can

1546
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 1: get high twenties and keep them in the single digits.

1547
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I see us, you know, twenty twenty seven seventeen win.

1548
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep the same score. When we ask, you say,

1549
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: I would never give that the reason I just see,

1550
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: I tease that for you because you're how many of

1551
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:56,560
Speaker 1: you haven't you have one day many predictions. So I

1552
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,600
Speaker 1: threw that out there thinking maybe you would take that.

1553
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: I thought you were done flexing, though you're not done.

1554
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm running out of flax. They're not as good as

1555
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: they started out, But I think that this the Seahawks

1556
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: defense has to eliminate big plays and the New England

1557
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Patriots when it comes to throwing the ball, they're banking

1558
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: on the secondary, getting their eyes in the backfield, and

1559
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 1: taking false steps because their best receiver is Julian Edeman Edelman.

1560
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 1: He's not gonna take you up top. He's not gonna

1561
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: have the seventy yard touchdown. He's gonna work the middle

1562
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: of the field. He's gonna sit in his zones. He's

1563
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: going to be available. So as long as this defense

1564
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: is disciplined and doesn't bite on the play actions. I

1565
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: watch Cam in the play action. I mean his his

1566
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: meshes are beautiful. In the backfield, he shows the football

1567
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: like he's paid man, and he tucks it back in.

1568
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's where he's comfortable, and that's where you

1569
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: get fools gold. You think it's it's a run play,

1570
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: Think it's a stretch play, Think it's a dive, and

1571
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: it's not. Then boot he pops it over to the top.

1572
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, the middle of the field making plays. Yeah,

1573
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: if they run the ball forty sometimes on this that's

1574
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna be that concerns me too. Can do we can

1575
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 1: we physically handle that many runs? You know? I think

1576
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: I brought up earlier. If it's coming up second and four,

1577
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: third and one constantly, and now sudden it's an eight

1578
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: nine play drive and five minutes have gone off the

1579
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: clock and he starts putting pressure on the offense, and

1580
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,599
Speaker 1: you know, points and yards are gonna be tough. I mean,

1581
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 1: this is a really disciplined team. They're gonna take their

1582
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: shots on pressure on us. You know, Russell's gonna have

1583
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: to play a great game. We're a better football team

1584
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 1: than there. We have better football players than they do.

1585
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: And if we just go out and play our game

1586
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: and everybody plays to their ability, we'll win this football game. Yeah,

1587
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. They should win this football game. There

1588
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: are better football players wearing blue and green rather than red,

1589
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: white and blue. The only X factor, or one of

1590
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: the X factors, it's just Cam Newton. I mean this

1591
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: is a second week. He's healthy. Now, if we were

1592
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 1: facing Cam Newton week seven or eight and they he's

1593
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: rushed at fifty sixty times, he's been beat up and

1594
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:06,759
Speaker 1: all that, then I'd say, Okay, I feel so different

1595
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: about it. But this is a healthy Cam Newton. And

1596
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,919
Speaker 1: one of the things that keeps me optimistic and encouraged

1597
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: is one Bruce Irvin. Did you hear him talk about

1598
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: I played Cam what seven times in the last how

1599
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: many years? I got nine sex it's probably those numbers

1600
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: are probably skewed a bit. I don't know exactly what

1601
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: he said, but he's pretty confident. Bruce Irvin. I'm gonna

1602
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 1: say it now and I'll say again on Sunday. He's

1603
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna be my hot player of the game. Okay, I

1604
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: like it. I'm gonna write that down, Bruce Irvin. We've

1605
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of success against Cam and we really

1606
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: owned him for a long time till the one playoff

1607
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 1: game where they jumped out like thirty one nothing. Then

1608
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: when we were down in Carolina and we almost came

1609
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: back on that one too, which we always do, which

1610
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: is remarkable. We've had his number and there were some

1611
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: really low scoring games. They had some really good defense. Yeah,

1612
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,759
Speaker 1: but completely different. I mean, he's get a completely different offense,

1613
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: different coaches, the Seahawks are a completely different scheme defensively,

1614
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: with different players. I just think we have so many playmakers.

1615
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,200
Speaker 1: I think we can bottle up their receivers. I think

1616
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and Bobby Wagner are gonna they're gonna be

1617
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: pretty fired up for this game to get after Cam.

1618
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: And those are two guys who can take Cam down.

1619
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of guys in this league. Ca

1620
01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean Cam Newton is he's just genormous. I mean

1621
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 1: he is. He's the best looking football player I've ever

1622
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: seen walking on a football field. I mean he's six

1623
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: foot six, two hundred and sixty five pounds, and he

1624
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: looks like he's if you didn't know how tall he

1625
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: was and big he was, you would just think he was,

1626
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, six ft two, ten pounder's. He's slim, he

1627
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 1: looks healthy, he looks like he's having fun again, and

1628
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:47,759
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that makes me a little nervous.

1629
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: Now again, they won last week against not a very

1630
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: good team. You know, when things are going well, Cam

1631
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 1: has historically been pretty good. And when things go south,

1632
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's he's changed, they're gotten more mature.

1633
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: We'll see when when things go south, there we go,

1634
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 1: because I'm predicting that they will go south. Okay, all right?

1635
