1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Play. Obviously wels Wilson this week. What makes this guy

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: so good? Man? Um on the media sessions long enough. Um,

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: but I think he's just able to do it all.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: I think he's able to extend plays, to make the

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: deep ball passes, UM, get the guys in the right

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: check at the right time, make the big plays when

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: it needs to be made, knows how to get his

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: team back in the game. And just I mean, I

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: keep going on and on. He's just an incredible player.

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: You know. I know in this situation A lot of

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: times of players when um, when a backup quarterback might play,

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: you always say you know, I have confidence in whoever

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: it is. Okay, Um, you go against Colt McCoy in

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: practice almost in the day and we hear about the

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: exploits and how he works the first team defense. Um,

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: is there any reason why, you know, other than the

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: normal saying you have confidence him, why you really might

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: have confidence in him? Um? Yeah, I think I know.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: When it first happened, and obviously going into this week,

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: the first thing I told him was I'm happy I

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: don't have to go against you on Saturday or Friday.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: We have a fast Friday, and he does kind of

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: the whole two minute drill and all that type of stuff,

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: and he tries to do certain plays no look passes

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: all these types of things, and yeah he's I mean,

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: I've had confident every single time we've had practice, every

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: single day he's been here, and I'm excited for him

28
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to get that opportunity comes Sunday. Is there an onus

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: on the defense maybe to kind of look and say, look,

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: we all starting quarterback might not be there. We have

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: to even do more to protect our offense because Daniels

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: not there. Um No, I think overall, just as a defense,

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: our biggest thing is improving each and every week. Um.

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Any guy we put out there, whether it's on offense, defense,

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: ve special teams, you know that they're out there for

36
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: a reason. And everybody here knows they can get the

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: job done. And so when we go out there, we

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: know when you have to do better than we did

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: last week. And and just make um every play that

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: comes with us or comes to us. Um. And like

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, just keep improving. Thank you up, Blake.

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm talking out of school when I

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: say that the level of competition is going to go

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: up this week and probably the in a couple of weeks. UM,

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: what does that mean for the team? Are you looking

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: forward to this challenge? And? Uh do you do you

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: see this as a as a good way to measure

48
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: yourself against the top teams in the conference and the league?

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. I think as a competitor, UM, you

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: want to have these opportunities to play teams like this,

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: UM And I think every week, Uh, it's hard to

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: win and no matter who you're playing, UM And, I

53
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: think for us throughout this season, it's always been UM,

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: play here, play there, at least the beginning season. Now

55
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: you're starting to see everything kind of come together for

56
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: us across the board, and I think this is just

57
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: another test for us to show that UM and and

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: show like I said earlier, show that improvement each and

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: every week and and go and make those plays to

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: to win the game. The Seahawks have twice as many

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: wins as you. I'm guessing that you did not feel

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: it there as twice twice as good a team as you. No,

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: definitely not. I think especially us as a team, we

64
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: have full confidence in us and we know throughout the

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: season it's always been certain things that we've done that

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: have hurt us, UM, and I know that us as

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: a team, when we go out there and play the

68
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: way we can play, we know we can we can

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: hang with anyone, and and we're a really good team.

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: Kadava Hey Blake. When you when you look at the standings,

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean basic you leave the NFCS based on the

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: technicality of beating Washington twice. Do you feel like a

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: first place team? UM? I think I don't really think

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: we think about that. I think we we look at

75
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: themselves as a team. UM that's getting better each and

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: every week. That's a really UM. I don't know. Coach

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Judge always talks about it, that we're a team going

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: like this, UM, and that's kind of all we're focused

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: on each and every week. As long as we're doing that,

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: as long as we're improving each and every week as

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: individuals and then as the team team, UM, things are

82
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna go in our favor and we're gonna keep it,

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: keep showing that every single Sunday. Do you even think

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: about things like you know, we control our own destiny now,

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean I think overall throughout the whole season, I

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: think you think that way. UM. Everybody started zero and

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: zero UM. So as long as you go out and

88
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: every every single week and and go out and win,

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: UM and improve, you're going to control your own destiny.

90
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: I think, especially once you come to this November December football,

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: that's the that's the best time to play your best ball.

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's where we want to be moving forward.

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, We'll take two more. Jordan's hey, but like

94
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: to sort of build off those questions, they just says,

95
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I know you guys believe it, but how

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: much do you think this team needs to beat one

97
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: of these top teams? Are these winning teams that you're

98
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: playing in these next four games, stretch to prove to

99
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: everyone outside the building that you know you're a good team,

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: you're a serious contender. UM. I think I mean to

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't think we care too much about

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the outside opinion. UM. I think for us in general,

103
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: we want to go out there and show uh our

104
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: own improvement, show ourselves that we can go and go

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: and finish those types of games. Kind of going back

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: to earlier in the season where we've kind of shot

107
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: ourselves in the foot um at multiple times where we

108
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: could have won multiple games early on. I think we

109
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: want to show that we're that winning type of team,

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: UM and go finish those. Like I said in that

111
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: November December football appreciate it, Hey Blake. Obviously you said

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: how physically talented Russell is. From the snap post snap, uh,

113
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: test match that you guys have with essentially the quarterback

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: every week. I'm just curious, is that chest different with

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: a guy like Russell? You know, do you look forward

116
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: to going up against the quarterback like that and what

117
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: kind of you know, what does it look like, What

118
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: does that preparation like for you guys? Know? Yeah, I think, um,

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: whenever you go against that type of caliber player, especially

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, UM, it makes it a really

121
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: fun week, especially for me to go in and kind

122
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: of dissect what he does and how he kind of

123
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: adapts throughout the game. UM, what he does to get

124
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: his team back into it UM, certain players, certain formations,

125
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: all these types of things that go into it. UM.

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's gonna be a great challenge

127
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be something that we gotta keep going. Obviously,

128
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: they're a great team and they're gonna make plays, but

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: being able to, like you said, make that adjustment during

130
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: the games and and kind of get certain looks that

131
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: he's not going to recognize, and and kind of get

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: him two steps behind if you can't
