1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: This is the huddleiddle.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: Every Thursday from Mune to Chu.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: The Huddle.

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 3: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Whyman, Michael Bumpus,

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: and Stacy Ross. We are going to be joined in

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 3: just a moment by Abe Lucas. Then rookie linebacker ty

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: Reese Knight is hopping on at twelve fifteen. We're going

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 3: to start though, by looking back at that win over

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: the Jets. Whyman, I'll start with you. This was not

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: one that I was confident Seattle was going to get.

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: There was a point when they were down bad and

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: we were all scratching our heads, going, really the Jets,

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they've struggled all year, but special teams just

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 3: fell apart. And then you had Leonard Williams turning the

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: tide with a ninety two yard pick six. Have you ever

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 3: seen anything like that?

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: That was incredible? I don't.

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 4: I think afterwards I turned my mic off because I

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 4: was so excited. Were Able had just an awesome call

20
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: on that one. He didn't like that his voice cracked,

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: and I was like, I love it, made the whole call.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So yeah, afterwards, I was like, I don't

23
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: believe what I just saw I mean, he looked like

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 4: a guy who has dropped into hooks on his whole life.

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 4: And then he just kind of stabs his hand and

26
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: I mean for him to be lined up in a

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: three point stance and then I think he was in

28
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: a three point stance. Yeah, and so he drops back

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 4: and to be able to look back and locate the ball.

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of the things why.

31
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: I always like rave about the receivers and how like

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 4: being able to just locate the ball while you got

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: a guy palling at you and everything, and so for

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 4: him to be able to do that, and he just

35
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: made it look so natural. And then somebody tried to

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 4: tackle him. I can't I don't know if it was

37
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson, but he just kind of bounced off his

38
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: knee and then yeah, and he edited as his entourage

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: there he saw Spoon out there leading the way. I mean,

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: it was just it was incredible. I couldn't believe what

41
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: I just saw. So yeah, it was. It was one

42
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: of the better plays I think of the entire season.

43
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: Really you look at I mean not just for the Seahawks,

44
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: but like for the entire NFL.

45
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: I'm bumped. It was also such a smart decision by

46
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald. You think Rogers was surprised to see Williams

47
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: trailing his own receiver.

48
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, because of the way they did it. He was on,

49
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 5: if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm looking at the line of scrimmage.

50
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 5: Leonard was at in the a gap to the left,

51
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 5: so then he dropped all the way across the fit.

52
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: As soon as Aaron Rodgers gets up to the line

53
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 5: of scrimmage, he sees Jay Reed and Leonard and the

54
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 5: aim to be to his left side.

55
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 6: He goes, Okay, I'm not worried about these guys.

56
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: I'm looking at these backers to see if they're bluffing

57
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: they're gonna drop, And then the backers go. So if

58
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: I'm if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'm thinking, cool, there's nothing

59
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 5: to the flat over there.

60
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 6: I should be good to go.

61
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 5: Then as soon as he lets it go, I'm sure

62
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 5: it's the slow motion like no, he sees Leonard just

63
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 5: gets his paw on there. It was one of the

64
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 5: most athletic plays I've seen a man that big make

65
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 5: off of the stuff that you just said.

66
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 6: Whyman, it's like he's flipping his hips.

67
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 5: He's getting into a drop like he's done this before,

68
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 5: Like he's been coached up to flip his hips, find

69
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 5: the eyes. It was just it was great. And then

70
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 5: I went back and I looked to see when he

71
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: was drafted. Go, yeah, it's number six pick. He's one

72
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 5: of the most athletic guys walking this.

73
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 6: Earth right now.

74
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I always hated that when I was a player,

75
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: when they would drop defensive lineman. I'm like, they don't

76
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: know what they're doing, you know, And he entirely looked

77
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: like he so. Yeah, and that was something that we

78
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: heard from Mike MacDonald that he was going to do

79
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: that kind of thing, and it definitely worked there. And

80
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: to be able to fool a guy like Aaron Rodgers,

81
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: pretty heady guy. And you know, I got to say

82
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: that guy made some unbelievably pinpoint throws. The one play

83
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: where he throws a slant, he scoops the snap up

84
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: off his shoe and wings it.

85
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, this guy is really good.

86
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: So I mean for him to be able to do

87
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: that against that opponent, I mean, that makes it even

88
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: more special.

89
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: Now, it's tough to complain after a win, but Bump

90
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: Special Teams had one of the worst grades from Pro

91
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: Football Focus that any special teams unit has gotten in

92
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: any game in the last several years. Should I be concerned.

93
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 6: They probably should have gotten that worst grade.

94
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: But a lot of it it's based off of things

95
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: that harball can't control. When a returner just drops the

96
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 5: foot ball, there's no coaching point. Really, these guys are pros.

97
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: When you get to the NFL, either you can fill

98
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: the ball or you can't win. It's up in the air,

99
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: and they just weren't able to do that. You did

100
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 5: have a pat blocked, and you did have one at

101
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: the house. Those are things that you can fix. But

102
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be too concerned with that. I think I

103
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 5: always don't almost don't want to say it. But Brian

104
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: Walters was in on Monday and he says, we'll never

105
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: see anything like that again. I said, Brian, I also

106
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 5: said that we're not gonna see any snaps over the

107
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: quarterbacks head again, and then that happened. So I think

108
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 5: the chances are that those things are going to be

109
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: cleaned up. I don't expect a return to the house again.

110
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 5: Is only five human beings in the world and the

111
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: NFL who have done it this year.

112
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 6: It just doesn't happen like that anymore.

113
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: So the things that could be cleaned up off of

114
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: personnel have been cleaned up because lavis gang here no

115
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 5: more still to see. He's still got to see what

116
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 5: de Wims is gonna do back there. He's been kind

117
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: of shaking, but I'm not too concerned. If it happens

118
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: two weeks in a row, yeah, then I'm.

119
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 6: Shook a little bit.

120
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: Take out a ninety plus yard kick return on special

121
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 3: teams for the Jets and the def has yet another week, Wyman,

122
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: when they holding opponent to under twenty. What's impressed you

123
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: most about the turn that they've made and the performance

124
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: of the defense over the last four weeks.

125
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, if I had to pick one person that's

126
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: really changed things, it's Ernest Jones and you know, and

127
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: I just I don't remember. The one you know, ringing

128
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: endorsement I heard about him was when Aaron Donald left

129
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: the Rams and he said, that's the man now, And

130
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess the Rams just didn't didn't

131
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 4: want to pay him, and maybe he was, you know,

132
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: making noise whatever, but you know, getting him here that

133
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: that's the point where everything changed. So and then you

134
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: start Tyrese Knight, So yeah, I think I think that,

135
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: and look, it's he's one of eleven. But there's just

136
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: like a culture change, you know, as far as how

137
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: they're attacking blocks and getting off of blocks and getting

138
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: the right combination of players in there. I really enjoy

139
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald's decisiveness. Like Laviska Chanal. You know, it's like

140
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: they cut him and you know it's like they can't

141
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: really they're not really going to use him in the

142
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: offense probably, but still just like how quickly it was.

143
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: It doesn't come off as personal and it's like, yeah,

144
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, you're the leading tackler here, but we're going

145
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: to cut you, you know.

146
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: In Dawson, So yeah, I like that he is. He's

147
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: making moves quickly, him and Schneider.

148
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: We saw a clip posted by Bob Condotta of the

149
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: Seattle Times Bump of Zach Charbonet returning some kicks. Is

150
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: there a name you'd like to see pop up more

151
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: on special teams?

152
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: I've been talking about Kenny Macintosh for over a decade.

153
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: Now, even though he's been huff was a child.

154
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: He's got four carries in two years.

155
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: It's wild.

156
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is about Kenny Mack that's

157
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 5: not getting him the faux ball. Would love to see

158
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 5: him back there, but I would also like to see

159
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 5: Rek Young. They're keeping him around. Derek Young, They're keeping

160
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: him around for a reason. You don't just hang around

161
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: and not get it on offense and only do specials.

162
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 5: They like something about him. I like him to get

163
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 5: an opportunity, but I gotta start Weekendy Mack.

164
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: Abe Lucas is probably gonna interrupt us in the next

165
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: minute or so, but otherwise I'm gonna toss this when

166
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: you're away, Bump, and then you guys can just feel free.

167
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: We are gonna transition and look ahead obviously, and look

168
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: AB's joining us right now. We're going to look ahead

169
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: to the Cardinals here. This is a rematch of these

170
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: two the second divisional matchup between these two teams in

171
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: three weeks, Week fourteen. Seahawks Cardinals, and Abe Lucas going

172
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: to be out there for this one. Abe, you obviously

173
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: started this season on pup. Finally able to get back

174
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: out there. Both of my co hosts have been NFL

175
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: players who've dealt with injuries, and they've talked about how

176
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: it takes a second to kind of trust it. Have

177
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: you gotten to trust yourself and trust your body yet

178
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: you're still working through it?

179
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 7: Sorry, I think it's a I mean it's a process

180
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 7: like anything that, like you said, kind of readjusting and

181
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 7: coming back. Imman, know it's out for almost a year

182
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 7: or so. I mean, it's a slow climb, but it

183
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: is a climb, you know, so it does get better

184
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 7: just week to week.

185
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: We talked to you right after the game against San

186
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: Francisco and like, Hi, I'm abe, I'm really sore. But

187
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: you know, you said that there were some things that

188
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: you could do to try to minimize that soreness, because

189
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 4: like playing football, it's hard to duplicate and get ready

190
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: for that. But what are some of the things that

191
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: you've done to get yourself in playing shit?

192
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 7: I mean, I just try to stay consistent with off

193
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 7: season like rehabbing in season, rehabing, lifting, running, that sort

194
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 7: of thing. I mean, it's a lot of work, don't

195
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 7: get me wrong, but and there's a lot of pieces

196
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 7: that go into it. As long as I stay on

197
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 7: top of it, like I feel decent. I don't know

198
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: if you can never really feel one hundred percent playing

199
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 7: right regardless of how long you've been out, but it

200
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 7: does make it more manageable.

201
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Once you start playing football, you're never one hundred percent. Yeah, exactly.

202
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 6: All right, man, it's been a journey.

203
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: I remember training camp watching you do your thing and

204
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: grind and stuff, and every week we're like, okay, when

205
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: is Abe coming back? When is Abe coming back? So

206
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 5: then you finally get out there, I mean, what was

207
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: it like mentally for you? Because you know, I've had

208
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 5: injuries where I've had to work six seven, eight weeks

209
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: to get back in and then my body, but mentally,

210
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 5: what was that like for you to finally get out

211
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: there and just play some ball?

212
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Uh? I mean it was. It was great.

213
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 7: I the whole jury process was actually it was pretty

214
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 7: tame for me. I wasn't like busting at this. I

215
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 7: mean I was obviously wanting to play, but like I

216
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 7: wasn't getting too in my head about anything because I knew,

217
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 7: I mean, I knew how long it was going to

218
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 7: take it. It was gonna be a longer thing. So I

219
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 7: was just trying to, you know, mentally prep and then

220
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 7: you know, when we got got back out there, it

221
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 7: was just like let it loose as much as you

222
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 7: can with you know, the limited reps that I had

223
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 7: had up until that point, you know, I mean, not

224
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 7: having a fall camp or OTAs or anything certainly sucks,

225
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 7: but I was able to do I think pretty well.

226
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: There are some things that when you never play, you

227
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: just truly never understand. And so what I've always wondered

228
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: is if when you get into a short yarded situation

229
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: or a goal to go situation, does it really feel

230
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: different and play different deep in the red zone?

231
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: Yes?

232
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 7: Uh changes, well, I mean it's like the last sort

233
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 7: of line of defense. Everything's kind of closer and more

234
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 7: tight knit, and you know, typically you're trying to run

235
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 7: it in and so so everybody's you know, up on

236
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage in the box, and it really is.

237
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 7: I mean there's a technique battle, of course, but guys

238
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 7: are just kind of coming off trying to knock you

239
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 7: back and all that. So it's a little bit different

240
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 7: than the open field.

241
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: We talked to Derek Hally yesterday and just the phenomenon

242
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: of playing a game against a team two out of

243
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: the three weeks. It's so close together and everything. One

244
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: of the things he said is, and I thought rang true,

245
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 4: is that you know, they're gonna go back to who

246
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: they are, right. I mean, there's gonna be some things different, right,

247
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: but you know, for the most part, like by the

248
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: late first quarter, second quarter, they're going to be what

249
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: they've been doing all year, Right?

250
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Is that kind of the cat and mouse game?

251
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: I mean, is that kind of what you're looking at

252
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 4: when you look at film and study the Cardinals for

253
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: the second time?

254
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 8: Uh?

255
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, I guess.

256
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 7: I mean I just kind of look at like the

257
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 7: games that the game had just played versus Minnesota. I mean,

258
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 7: look at the things that they were successful against us,

259
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 7: and I imagine they would go back to doing a

260
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 7: lot of that sort of thing. I mean, of course,

261
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 7: like you said, there's gonna be wrinkles and such, but

262
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 7: you know there's gonna wrinkles and touch for us too.

263
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 7: You know, we're not you know, changing the entire game plan.

264
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 7: We're gonna be who we are as well. It's just

265
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 7: you know, it's it's a matter of adjustments. You know,

266
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 7: when the time comes.

267
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 5: You played a lot of football in your just football

268
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: career from now and all the way down to youth,

269
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: and in football it changes, but it doesn't at the

270
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 5: same time. But I can go to a different offense

271
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: as a receiver, and orange might be something different, but

272
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: I can relate it to a concept that I used

273
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: to do. So you coming in, you know, playing under

274
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: Ryan Grubb's offense for the first time, how quick did

275
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: you kind of just pick up on everything?

276
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 6: And what kind of learner are you?

277
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: Because I was a type where I needed to see

278
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: it on paper first and then I need to go

279
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 5: out and walk through it just to make all the connections.

280
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 6: How was that process for you?

281
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I'm definitely a rep skuy like that, So

282
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 7: I like to get like the walk through stuff and everything.

283
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 7: But when I when I was in here for meetings

284
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 7: like way back when and wherever we met, like may

285
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 7: or whatever, I made I made a stack of note

286
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 7: cards of the entire offense. So I would just look

287
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 7: through that like three or four times every single day,

288
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 7: and it was like a memorization thing, so just so

289
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 7: that when I came back I wasn't just learning it

290
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 7: from for the first time. That really helped because I

291
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 7: kind of just memorized everything and then was putting myself,

292
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 7: I guess, in the shoes and like watching them run

293
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 7: the places and be like, okay, that's what I do there,

294
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 7: you know, footwork, camp, placement, all that.

295
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Much much trash talk between you and grub at all.

296
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: Uh, not particular, no.

297
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: No, really both on the same team now, so I've

298
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: never quite played each other, so so it worked out.

299
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: But happy to hear that. And uh and obviously congratulations

300
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: you guys in first place. A lot of momentum heading

301
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: into Glendale where you get to play in some warm weather.

302
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: It's a dome. Still nice. Thank you so much for

00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 8: of six. They brought the house that time, and there

314
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 8: was nowhere.

315
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: For Kyler Murray to go.

316
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 8: We tried to step up and he took the second

317
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 8: sack in a row. And on comes the punt team

318
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 8: for Arizona.

319
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 3: Tyrese Knight, rookie linebacker for the Seahawks, in with us

320
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: right now, you're listening to the huddle with Dave Whyman,

321
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: Michael Bumpus, and Stacy Ross Tyrese. I think if I

322
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: had highlights of myself at work, I'd watch them all

323
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: the time. I mean, have you listened to your own

324
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: play by play? Ye? Haven't watched highlights?

325
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 9: Back name is on the TV copy yet.

326
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: Obviously you guys have to watch film. But it looks

327
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: really cool about it.

328
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 9: This is the opportunity, no doubt.

329
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: Did you think at what point did you go coming in?

330
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 4: It's hard to start as a rookie, it is no

331
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: matter what round you're drafted in.

332
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: At what point did you were you like, I think

333
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: I can I think I can be a starter on

334
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: this team.

335
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 10: You know, I played early in the year. I have

336
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 10: pretty good confidence. But you know, I'll make a little

337
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 10: mistakes here and there. But I really say after that

338
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 10: for a earn this game I started a couple weeks ago,

339
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 10: I was like, well, yeah, I can really do this forreshure.

340
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 10: Ever since now, man trying to static days and games, it.

341
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 5: Seems like that second level man, you and Ernest are

342
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: are really playing some good football.

343
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 6: What's it like playing with a veteran like him.

344
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 10: You know, man who got a real connection off the field,

345
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 10: so they just made their own field stuff way more easier.

346
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 10: So you know, he'd be helping me out, telling what's

347
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 10: coming for his coming. You know, we've got a good vibe.

348
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 10: They just carry on from here and there.

349
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's been the I guess, biggest part about transitioning,

350
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: The biggest difference between being in college and being in

351
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: the pros, The most noticeable.

352
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 9: M I'll probably say the game speed.

353
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 10: But with that, I'll say that just comes back going

354
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 10: rep and just getting back more comfort the book.

355
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 9: You know how college was.

356
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 10: But I know I'm way past that point, based after

357
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 10: all the rest I got early in my season with

358
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 10: OTAs and training counts, So I pretty much got past

359
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 10: the transition part early when the season started.

360
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 9: Never pretty much good for me.

361
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 4: Have you Can you tell a difference like how you

362
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: watch film in the NFL versus how you're watched it

363
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: in college. I mean, I just remember thinking there was

364
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 4: more detail and I had to and especially listening to

365
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: my teammates talk the veterans and things like that. Has

366
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 4: that been the case for you? Have you noticed that

367
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: it's different.

368
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 10: It's way more you know, got way more breakdowns for

369
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 10: every down, every distance, you know, thing about situation right,

370
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 10: So it's way more films studying, way more breakdowns and

371
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 10: collter is not used to but it's good things.

372
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 9: They just get us prepared for what's coming.

373
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 6: As an offensive guy.

374
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: When I line up and I hear the chatter from

375
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: a defense, all the communication, My damn, they own point

376
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: because the good defense like communicates, you know, they adjust

377
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 5: or whatnot. Has there been a difference in communication starting

378
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: in like the classroom, like when you guys are watching

379
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: film together, because it seems like you guys are just

380
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: playing tighter like everyone's where there's supposed to be. What's

381
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 5: been the change in the communication?

382
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 10: I want to say they just start froming, you know,

383
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 10: watching film, also just doing our walk throughs before Pride.

384
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 10: You know, communication is key, so we try to emphasize

385
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 10: that throughout the week, you know, playing a lot music

386
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 10: and stuff out saw so you just got to talk loud.

387
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 10: They just made the game easier, just like everybody's ways

388
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 10: closer now. So just communication just be like second nature.

389
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: I absolutely love watching cold games like once against to

390
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: December and you see games where it's snowing and stuff,

391
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: it's really fun. I'm glad I don't have to play

392
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: in one, though I don't know that you will this year.

393
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: It stays mostly just rainy here. But have you ever

394
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: played in a really freezing, freezing game.

395
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 10: I'm not practicing the snumb before, you know, But I

396
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 10: want to say last week probably is the coldest game.

397
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: Play what's the toughest? So maybe the answer is the hottest,

398
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: But what's the toughest game you've ever played in? Where

399
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: you were like, I'm so uncomfortable.

400
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 10: I want to say last year we played at Jacksonville State.

401
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 10: You know, I ain't playing in Florida like during the

402
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 10: summer probably since high school.

403
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 9: So it was like full your little escape.

404
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 10: But down there it was so high, tripping sweat, everybody

405
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 10: catching crowns.

406
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Terry says, your has your family been able to

407
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: either come out here and watch you here or on

408
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 4: the road?

409
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: Have you been have you been buying some tickets?

410
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 10: H I know I had a lot of family members

411
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 10: down to the Atlanta game. Yeah, I know, a lot

412
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 10: of came to Tennessee preseason, and I had a lot

413
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 10: of homeboys and like frying take your visits here the

414
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 10: last couple of weeks, so everybody's man coming out.

415
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 5: Have you figured out your uh, your game day routine?

416
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 5: I mean because I used to. I used to be weird.

417
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 6: Man.

418
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: I used to eat at the exact same time. I

419
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 5: used to tie my right shoe at the same time.

420
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 5: I was crazy about it. Have you figured out what works.

421
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 9: For you yet?

422
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 10: I'm pretty superstitious myself, so I've been having the same

423
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 10: routines probably since college, and I pretty much carried it

424
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 10: over to here. So I feel like if I don't

425
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 10: do something right throughout the weed and I'm gonna have

426
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 10: a bad game. So I try to keep everything the same.

427
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 10: So I'm pretty much my routine the saying.

428
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 6: Is there anything like out of the norm that you do?

429
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 11: Is it?

430
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 5: It's pretty standard, you know football prep stuff, the football prep.

431
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 10: I just got to do it at the exact same time.

432
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 10: We just don't even try to like mess up, try

433
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 10: to do one for the other. Just feel like I'm

434
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 10: be thinking about it all day, like I ain't doing

435
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 10: it right, so it's.

436
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 9: Something going to happen.

437
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: See I'm sitting here like, guys, I think that's just OCD.

438
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, bump, that's the weirdest thing

439
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 4: I ever heard.

440
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the right, the right.

441
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: So so so you said you listened to the same song,

442
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: you'd go like, right shoe then left shoe. I'm assuming

443
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: they're the same meal. So what is yours?

444
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 9: First person walking in the game? Locker room?

445
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 10: Okay, hot you know, treatment, I get all my medical

446
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 10: stuff out of way. Not good at my band I

447
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 10: scratched after that, ready to go, but I just got

448
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 10: to do all that in the same order.

449
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 9: You're having the right playlist plan as well.

450
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm imagining a coach being like, okay, so we're gonna

451
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: have you do the bands and then hot tub and

452
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: you're like.

453
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 10: No, no, I actually wait if while trying to do

454
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 10: not ready yet.

455
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, only weird if it doesn't make sense, it works.

456
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, this seems seems like a gritty team man. I mean,

457
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: you guys have gone through some some adversity, you know

458
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 4: during the bye week, you know, the the changes especially

459
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 4: at your spot. What was that like when when the

460
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: coach came up to you and said, hey, this is

461
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: what the moves were making, and you're going to be

462
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: the starter and you know what kind of take us

463
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: through that you know.

464
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 9: Just like me with everybody else.

465
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 10: Everybody was surprised when we had a team me in

466
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 10: that morning find out the news. So no, I was

467
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 10: just like everybody, like it happened. Here we go, let's go. So,

468
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 10: I mean, blessing in the sky. You know, it's grateful

469
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 10: for the opportunity.

470
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 6: Are you you play Call of Duty?

471
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 12: Yeah?

472
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 6: All right, this this is from the text line.

473
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: So they wanted to ask you, what's your favorite Call

474
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 5: of Duty map?

475
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 11: Uh?

476
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 9: What is on? Just most He threw some.

477
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: Suggestions down there or I know, just just I don't

478
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: know that the most recent one, I'll probably say new.

479
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: Town, Newtown.

480
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: That was gonna be my question.

481
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: That's that's a throwback in it, the Newtown map.

482
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I remember that one that's not on Black Haws

483
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 9: and black Hawks.

484
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: Yeah for sure.

485
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: He is rookie linebacker Tyree Night kind enough to join

486
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: us in very very busy week. Good luck out there

487
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: in Glendale on Sunday coming up next, we are going

488
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: to take a look ahead to that game ty Reese

489
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: and co. Will be playing in Don't go Anywhere. This

490
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: is the huddle.

491
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: This, this is the huddle. Every Thursday from noon to

492
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: two on Seattle Sports.

493
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Michael

494
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 3: Bumpus and Stacy Rust. Some great news for the Seahawks

495
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: U Chenna Dwels who has been activated from the injured reserve.

496
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: He's also going to be speaking with reporters later today.

497
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: We'll play you that sound at one p m. But Wyman,

498
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: let's move forward. Assuming no Chenna does play on Sunday

499
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: against the Cardinals. We don't know for sure that's happening.

500
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: But look, we've all been covering this team. We know

501
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 3: that if a guy is speaking with reporters, it typically

502
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 3: means that he's going to play. How does that affect

503
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: the way you can pass rush Kyler Murray? How do

504
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: you contain them? And what's it mean to get O

505
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: Chinna back out there?

506
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think what you have to do with Kyler

507
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: Murray is bul rush, you know, I think that's the

508
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 4: most effective because if you're trying to, you know, put

509
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: a move on the outside or inside, that's that's what

510
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: he wants and he's going to take off run.

511
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: And so Chinna is the master of the bull rush man.

512
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: For a guy his size, I mean, he's not like

513
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: a defensive tackle.

514
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: Size it is amazing watching him.

515
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: You know, he just kind of it's not like it's spectacular,

516
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: but it's like you look at it and go, that's

517
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: a three hundred and twenty pound man that he is

518
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 4: just like consistently pushing back into, you know, and that's

519
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 4: I mean, he doesn't have a lot of other fancy

520
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 4: you know, pass rush moves.

521
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: Don't tell him I said.

522
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 4: That, but but you know, he's so good at that,

523
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: and I think that fits right into what you need

524
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: to do with Kyler Murray. And you know, again, I

525
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 4: don't think that they're necessarily going to hold him to

526
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 4: forty nine yards nice cool rushing, but yeah, and I

527
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 4: just remember talking to Woefully at halftime, who's their color

528
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: analyst on the radio, and he's like, I've never seen

529
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: our offensive line get dominated like this. So yeah, I

530
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: think it's it's great timing. The only thing I think

531
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: about that is like, you got four really good players

532
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: that I think are starters pretty much anywhere, And how

533
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: how are we going to divvy up the time now

534
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: that he's back, because you know, Drey Jones also plays

535
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 4: that he's probably maybe even a better as far as

536
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: inside you know, bul Rusher. So yeah, I mean, you

537
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: got Derek Halls incredibly powerful, so I think the timing

538
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: of having him back gives you kind of a you know,

539
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: embarrassment of riches there as far as pass rush.

540
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: As gonna say, it's a great problem to have. And

541
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: you know, for all that we've been lamenting about when

542
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: it comes to the offense, whether it's in short yardage

543
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: situations or god, I wish that, you know, we could

544
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: see just a bit more push from the offensive line.

545
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: Your defense has been playing exceptionally well bumped and now,

546
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: as we've been talking about, you're getting a starter back.

547
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: How much more confident does that make you against the Cardinals.

548
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: I'm not counting on a Jenna. I'm counting on the

549
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 5: guys who have been there three, four or five weeks.

550
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: I think with Jenna's is extra And it's kind of

551
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 5: like the way I looked at Abe Lucas is I'm

552
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: glad that he's back, but I got to realize that

553
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 5: he hasn't played football, and along on Tom and Dave, you know,

554
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 5: you can't duplicate a football game. In basketball, you can

555
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 5: run up and down the court and go hard and

556
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 5: do all that stuff. In football, there's nothing like playing

557
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: against another man who doesn't care about you, do even

558
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: care about your well being, your feeling, Yeah, and it's

559
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 5: just going to go after you.

560
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 6: So and I think that's a luxury.

561
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 5: It's a luxury to be having this defense playing the

562
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 5: way that they're playing, and you're getting more death with

563
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 5: a guy who you expected to lead the charge. So

564
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 5: I'm excited, but it doesn't change the way I look

565
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 5: at this game because I feel like you have to

566
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 5: rely on the guys who have been there.

567
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: What can you guys tell me? Bump, I'll start with

568
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: you and then we'll bounce back to Dave. What can

569
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: you tell me about the Cardinals defense? Because I'd love

570
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: to see selfishly more from Seattle than the two field

571
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: goals the offense managed to get in this one. I

572
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: know that that Kobe Bryant interception that pick six was huge,

573
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: but I would just love to see a bit more

574
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 3: from the offense. They haven't been scoring a ton of

575
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: points during this stretch of wins. How can they try

576
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: to find the end zone on Sunday?

577
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 5: I think last week or a couple of weeks ago

578
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: when they played Dave and I pointed out that their

579
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 5: linebackers just have great instincts, they see it, they believe it,

580
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 5: and they attack it so well that sometimes I couldn't

581
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: tell if they were blitzing or a rum blitz or

582
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 5: they just diagnosed the play and reacted that quickly. And

583
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 5: I think that messes an O line up that has

584
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 5: some question marks.

585
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 6: So now you're looking at a.

586
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 5: Rookie ad Lalmea and you're trying to figure out how

587
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 5: is he how is he gonna be able to handle

588
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: that stuff because it happens quick. And then I look

589
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: at Lincoln, and Lincoln sometimes gets his head down and

590
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: doesn't see the twist that's coming on the back that's

591
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 5: going It messes up your rhythm. It's like dribbling a

592
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 5: basketball and someone comes around and fake like they're going

593
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 5: to take the ball from you. You pick up your dribble,

594
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 5: you do a little movie something. Just it's such a

595
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 5: rhythm in that offensive line that that's where they mess

596
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 5: things up for you.

597
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: Whyman, what did they do well against Arizona's defense. I

598
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: don't want to say like exceptionally well, but what worked

599
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 3: for the offense last time, if anything? And what would

600
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: you love to see them do in week fourteen?

601
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

602
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think always know where Buddha Baker is,

603
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: you know. I mean that guy, he's so small, he

604
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: hides like a a lot of times you can't even

605
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: see where where, and he is really aggressive, you know.

606
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: I feel like when he hits it, like he just disappears.

607
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 4: And so he's a very special player. So I think

608
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: controlling him, and like Bump said, the two inside backers

609
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: are are really good. But you know, I just whenever

610
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: I think about our offense, I feel like it's a

611
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 4: US problem.

612
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: Not so much.

613
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 4: I mean, they certainly have some things as far as

614
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 4: you know, their defense goes. They've got some really good players,

615
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: but right now, I mean trying to take care of

616
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: the short yardage situation. They have to solve that puzzle,

617
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: you know, And I like it's easy for me to

618
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 4: sit there and you know, but I just like it

619
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: when they spread it out. I feel like ken Walker

620
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 4: can get three four yards pretty much anytime, you.

621
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: Know, as long as they spread it out.

622
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 4: But when they you know, compact the line and draws

623
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: the flies.

624
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: I know, Ray and I were talking about that a

625
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: little bit.

626
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: You guys were talking about it on the post game

627
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 4: after the LA Ram game that, you know, and like

628
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 4: I said, I'm making it sound like it's real easy.

629
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 4: Well just do this, But it's not that you have to,

630
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: you know, call plays that fit your your personnel in

631
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 4: your offensive line. And we're just not the masher type

632
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 4: right now. So they got to figure out other ways.

633
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 4: I feel like to get ken Walker, especially the ball.

634
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes maybe a short pass, yeah, and you know.

635
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: It's like a long handoff.

636
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a dumb follow up. But knowing that you

637
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 3: were both talking about spreading it out, why don't they like,

638
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: why isn't that something? Do you think there's a reason

639
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: that they haven't been spreading it out a bit more?

640
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 5: I think the closer you get to the end zone naturally,

641
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 5: the tighter your formations are gonna get. It's just you

642
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 5: feel like, as an offensive coordinator, if I can pack

643
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 5: this in and get a push, I should be good

644
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 5: to go. Sure, So I think that's just we fall

645
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 5: into into like unnecessary trends sometimes, right like on third

646
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 5: and on third and eight, everyone knows that you're probably

647
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 5: gonna throw the football to whereas you can spread it

648
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 5: out and have a numbers game, get a four by

649
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 5: one box and say all right, let's run the football. Here,

650
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: So it's it's really stepping outside of what's expected of you.

651
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 5: And then there are things that they pointed out that

652
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 5: we just don't know about their personnel. We're not at

653
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 5: practice every day, we're not communicating with these guys. We

654
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 5: don't know what their philosophy is. Clearly Grub has a philosophy.

655
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 5: When we're inside the ten and the five, this is

656
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: what we're going to be good at. So now at

657
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 5: one point do you say we're not good at that

658
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 5: inside the five or the ten? Let's wish something up.

659
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: Do you want to see more quarterback sneaks?

660
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: No?

661
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: Why not? I'm asking because I keep seeing.

662
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: Texters And it's a good question, I mean, and I

663
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: just that's not who they are. And I think, you know,

664
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 4: to me being the you know, a Hawk offensive coordinator,

665
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 4: you know they're not. And I think coaches get caught

666
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 4: up and hey, if we can't pick up one yard,

667
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: then we're not worth anything. And I'm like, okay, but

668
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: you're just not that team, you know, like Lake and

669
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 4: Tomlinson he is you know, run blocking is not his forte,

670
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: you know.

671
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: So I feel like if the.

672
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 4: One guy that I've seen that would be like he

673
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 4: could get you a yard was Anthony Bradford. You know,

674
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: he's a big, nasty, strong dude. He's hurt obviously, and

675
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if Lamea can be that guy.

676
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: But yeah, they've I mean, if you look at the

677
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 4: situations that they've been in, like having to go down

678
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 4: to your fourth string right tackle, I mean, I don't

679
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 4: know how Schneider could have planned for this, you know,

680
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: I mean you had a Division two guy who was

681
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: going to be a project actually played in the game

682
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 4: and actually played pretty well considering especially so yeah, but

683
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: I think that's Yeah, the quarterback sneak is just.

684
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: Not who they are, and I think that's what it is.

685
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: You know, at this point in the season or seven

686
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: and five, it's not like all of a sudden We're

687
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 4: going to transform into this big, physical running game.

688
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen.

689
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: You guys have already heard from two Seahawks. Abe Lucas

690
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 3: joined us earlier, as did rookie linebacker Tyrese Knight. You're

691
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: going to hear from two more coming up back to back.

Speaker 3: Will take you there.

702
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 13: Now, give your coach some advice on being a dad.

703
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 14: Uh yeah, well I talked to him, you know, even

704
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 14: before they had the baby. I talked to him about

705
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 14: like the experience of seeing a child's birth. It's one

706
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 14: of the craziest things I've ever witnessed in my life.

707
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 14: And so, uh, I'm pretty sure you know, it was

708
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 14: a it was a big moment for him and uh,

709
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 14: you know, really really happy that, you know, all things

710
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 14: went well, and you know, really really happy for coach.

711
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: Do you know you think.

712
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 15: Successful on three or four quarterbacks games that you guys

713
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 15: have done this year and the one that you didn't

714
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 15: get maybe a questionable spotty at San Francisco, if you

715
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 15: talked about like what are the keys to that played

716
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 15: working and what do you bring to.

717
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 14: That Like, oh, yeah, I mean quarterback sneak. You know,

718
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 14: it's about who wants some more. You know, there's gonna

719
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 14: be pretty much eleven guys at the line of scrimmage

720
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 14: on both sides, depending on the formation. And you know,

721
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 14: obviously you look for advantageous looks if there's open gaps

722
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 14: and stuff, stuff like that, but most importantly it's just

723
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 14: about getting low and getting the first down.

724
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 12: There's really not like a bunch to it.

725
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 14: You know, you just gotta try to drive those guys

726
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 14: off the ball, you know, try to try and get

727
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 14: the first down the best you can drive your legs.

728
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 14: That's where the weight room comes in. And you see, uh,

729
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 14: you know Philly they do the touch push, you know,

730
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 14: so there's a there's multiple ways to do it. But yeah,

731
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 14: I think it's something that we can use and continue

732
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 14: to use to be successful in our short yards game.

733
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 12: All called for you or sometimes you have the option

734
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 12: to find that I can't tell you that. A good question, though,

735
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 12: A good question what a change.

736
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 16: For your face on team again in such short succession

737
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 16: when you play them.

738
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 12: I actually like it, man.

739
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 14: I think it's you know, especially the visit opponents, you

740
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 14: get a chance to you know, kind of correct some

741
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 14: of your mistakes and then obviously you try to take

742
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 14: advantage of some things you thought went well. You know,

743
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 14: going up against this team, a team that we've saw

744
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 14: a bunch. You know, we know what they're doing, they

745
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 14: know what we're doing. It's about who's going to execute better.

746
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 14: And you know, going up against this team and knowing

747
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 14: what's at stake, you know, having you know a week

748
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 14: in between after that last game, I think for both teams, man,

749
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 14: I know they're going to be fired up, especially at home,

750
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 14: and I know we're going to be fired up. Everyone

751
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 14: knows what's at stake. You know, it's a big game

752
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 14: because it's the next game, but also a division game,

753
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 14: and so you know we're fighting to get into the playoffs.

754
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 14: They are as well, So it should be a great matchup.

755
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: You said you like it.

756
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 13: What are the part What do you like about playing

757
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 13: a team this quickly?

758
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 16: Again?

759
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 8: Oh?

760
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 14: I mean you know you saw them, you know, two

761
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 14: weeks ago, and like I said, you know, you enjoy

762
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 14: playing football, but you know, you get to go up

763
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 14: against the team you watch film on these guys. You know,

764
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 14: I don't have to watch like hours and hours of

765
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 14: film and you know watch you know, multiple games. It's

766
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 14: really just one game in between. But like I said,

767
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 14: you just know the opponent.

768
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: Again.

769
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 14: It was a great game, I thought in our last game,

770
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 14: and you know, I think it's going to be even better.

771
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 12: You know in this next one.

772
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 11: The defensive styled up a lot of pressure in the

773
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 11: last few weeks and they've gotten to the quarterback.

774
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 13: What is it about the way they're they're able to

775
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 13: rush that's.

776
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 17: Giving him success.

777
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, they got great you know blitz packages there. I

778
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 14: believe they're decordinating their head coach work together on that,

779
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 14: and I think they do a great job at you know,

780
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 14: having having multiple ways to give you similar looks. And

781
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 14: you see it on film where they get a lot

782
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 14: of you know, free rushers and uh, you know that's

783
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 14: that's pretty hard to do. You know, teams are scheming

784
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 14: up packages and stuff. But uh, you know, they they

785
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 14: do a great job. They understand you know, their blitz patterns.

786
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 14: They understand, uh, you know the guys who are dropping

787
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 14: the zones where to get to. You know, you can

788
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 14: tell they wrap it a bunch. They let the uh

789
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 14: they let their mic linebacker he kind of quarterbacks the

790
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 14: entire thing. And uh, if if they see you get

791
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 14: into a check you know, they'll check out and Uh,

792
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 14: they feel like you know, you don't you don't have

793
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 14: an answer, they'll bring the blitz. So it's always that

794
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 14: game of cat and mouse. I enjoy, you know, that's

795
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 14: one of the things I enjoy the most about playing quarterback.

796
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 14: And uh, we'll see what they have for It's gonna

797
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 14: be a different package when we get to the game.

798
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 14: But we just got to prepare, be prepared to adjust,

799
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 14: and you know, go out there and execute.

800
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 12: Make the place happen.

801
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 18: One of those is that one of those things though,

802
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 18: that gets easier if you only saw him a couple

803
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 18: of weeks ago. Yeah, they're gonna have a different blitz package,

804
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 18: but maybe you've got a little bit more of their tendencies.

805
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, I wouldn't say it's easier, but I will say that, Yeah,

806
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 14: you get just a second chance to go against it.

807
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 14: And like I said, it's never easy, man. You don't

808
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 14: know exactly what they're gonna do. You just got to

809
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 14: look for the tails and try and figure it out.

810
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 14: But I think they do a great job and like

811
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 14: I said, having multiple looks, and they make it all

812
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 14: look the same. Sometimes they're blissing, sometimes they're dropping them all.

813
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 14: You just got to be prepared and just know, you

814
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 14: know where your hot answers are if you do have hots,

815
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 14: and then if you do, got to pick it up

816
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 14: if that bring zero, you know, just be ready to

817
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 14: you know, get to a protection or something like that.

818
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 14: But there's always a game of cat and mouse. They'll

819
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 14: have answers, will have answers. That's kind of how the

820
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 14: game goes.

821
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 13: They had success rushing on third down last game.

822
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 16: How much is that you guys need to be better

823
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 16: on third down versus maybe get into better third down

824
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 16: situations so they can't get.

825
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 13: Pass what's gone?

826
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought they did.

827
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 14: Okay, I mean we were about fifty percent on third downs.

828
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 14: I think, you know, I thought for the most part,

829
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 14: our guys held up. Well, you know, we had an

830
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 14: early injury and so you know, Christian had to step

831
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 14: in and you know it's never easy stepping off the

832
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 14: sideline and go into a game like that.

833
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 12: But for the.

834
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 14: Most part, like I said, I thought our gouys picked

835
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 14: it up.

836
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 12: Well.

837
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 14: I thought Olu did a great job at you know,

838
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 14: identifying things and making the right checks. And you know,

839
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 14: they they're gonna have that's what they do, you know,

840
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 14: that's the that's their thing. They wanted to get you

841
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 14: the third down and uh dialop their packages, and so

842
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 14: we just got to be prepared for him. There'll be

843
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 14: some new looks that we haven't seen. Will adjust on

844
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 14: the sideline if need be, But for the most part,

845
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 14: just trust your rules. You know, me getting the ball

846
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 14: out fast is gonna always help. And then you know,

847
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 14: guys get into the right spots and catching the ball,

848
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 14: getting the first down.

849
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 17: What was the stay in the scam a couple of times,

850
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 17: and imagine part of that is just being able to

851
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 17: get the separation in the division?

852
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 19: How close are how much do you pay attention to

853
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 19: like tie breakers and all that stuff and knowing exactly

854
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 19: where you guys are.

855
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 12: I don't know exactly what it is.

856
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 14: I know we control our destiny and I think that's

857
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 14: what's most important. You know, we just got to go

858
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 14: out there and find a way to win.

859
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 12: Everything else.

860
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 14: You know, we don't try to think about that, you know,

861
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 14: tie breakers and such. We know we gotta win out

862
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 14: pretty much. We've been in playoff mode and so it's

863
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 14: one one and oh mentality this week, and that's really

864
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 14: all that matters.

865
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 18: The offensive line is obviously there's been a lot of

866
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 18: people you mentioned in Hulu and for right tackles.

867
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 17: Has have you seen any.

868
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 10: Consistency in that group yet there, especially with nown Towel

869
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 10: coming in and how challenging has it been this year.

870
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think there's definitely been consistency. You know, big

871
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 14: hats off to to you know, Huff and Nuge and

872
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 14: that entire group for preparing all the guys and yeah,

873
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 14: you said it, man, there's been a bunch of guys

874
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 14: who've stepped in and stepped up. But you know, I was,

875
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 14: I was very pleased with the way that we ran

876
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 14: the ball, especially the second half of our last game.

877
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 14: You know, you see where those guys are getting a

878
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 14: lot of continuity, and I think a being back is

879
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 14: definitely helping out, helping Towe on that right side. And

880
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 14: you know, Olu has been doing a great job it

881
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 14: just you know, being a steady presence in there at center.

882
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 14: And so yeah, we know, you know, those guys have

883
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 14: got to continue to get better. We got a bunch

884
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 14: of young guys up front who are still developing and

885
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 14: still coming into their own. But I thought they played

886
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 14: extremely well the previous game. Gave me protection in the pocket,

887
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 14: and they're only gonna get better. Like I said, man,

888
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 14: the more they jail, the more they play together, the

889
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 14: more they hear the same calls, the more they can communicate,

890
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 14: the better they'll be on the game day.

891
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,959
Speaker 15: You never did best in the NFL and converting short

892
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 15: guarded situations through week five and you've.

893
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 17: Been last since then. Any any ideas of what ficks changed.

894
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, we haven't gotten them. I mean, that's just the

895
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 14: reality of it. The reality of statistics is you know,

896
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 14: either you get it or you don't. So yeah, when

897
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 14: first couple of weeks we were getting our we were

898
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 14: making it happen, and then recently we've struggled. So I

899
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 14: believe in the law of averages. I think things usually

900
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 14: kind of shape themselves out, and as long as we

901
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 14: continue to work on it, continue to try and get

902
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 14: better at it. I think that's something that we definitely

903
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 14: need to get better at. And me personally, I know

904
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 14: I can be better in those situations for our guys,

905
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 14: and so, you know, we get more opportunities.

906
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 12: That's the best thing about it. We get more.

907
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 14: Opportunities and we'll see where we rank, you know, after

908
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 14: that through.

909
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 4: Twelve games with with Ryan Grebb, obviously that kind of partnership.

910
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 13: I was wondering what you've continued to learn about.

911
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 11: Him as his relationships and unfolded and how that's evolved

912
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 11: the dynamic.

913
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: Betwety too.

914
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's again, like you said, it's only been you know,

915
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 14: twelve thirteen weeks of regular season games, and it's still developing,

916
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 14: it's still building. It's still you know, early in the

917
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 14: stages for us. But I'm so happy with the strides

918
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 14: we've made throughout the course of the season. Also just

919
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 14: the you know, our system that we have in place.

920
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 14: I think it's it's really good. I think we have

921
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 14: a lot of answers, and I think he gives the

922
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 14: in quarterback the ability to get to those answers. He

923
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 14: empowers us to make, you know, plays on the field

924
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 14: and to be the quarterback and be the coach on

925
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 14: the field. And so, you know, Grub and I we

926
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 14: talk every day, We're in the meeting room every day.

927
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 14: We're seeing things the same way. And you know, the

928
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 14: best part about it is that you know, he understands

929
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 14: as a quarterback it's not always gonna be perfect. You

930
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 14: got sometimes you got to just make things happen. And

931
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 14: I think he gives me a lot of grace with that,

932
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 14: and it's allowed me to go out there and be

933
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 14: confident and just continue to play it.

934
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 17: When you're scrambled answers.

935
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 12: Excuse me, what does.

936
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 17: It mean to give a quarterback answers? What do you

937
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 17: mean by that?

938
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 12: Uh? Yeah, answers on the field to be able to

939
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 12: get to do you know.

940
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 19: When you're in scramble mode, can you talk about the

941
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 19: difference of patience waiting for that receiver and yet going

942
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 19: back to like you said, getting a ball out quickly,

943
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 19: and the context would be Jackson Smith that you're doing

944
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 19: with him.

945
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

946
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 14: I think it's just basically when when you're out there,

947
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 14: he just trying to make a play.

948
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 12: There's like a first play. There's the play, the original play.

949
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 14: And then there's a second play which is unscripted, and

950
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 14: so there's always like a design play. You want to,

951
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 14: you know, try to attack a certain coverage. You want

952
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 14: to you know, get the ball in the window or

953
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 14: you know, high low or something like that, and then

954
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 14: sometimes the defense does a great job of covering it.

955
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 14: And so I think we have some guys who are

956
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 14: really really good at extending plays and uh, you know,

957
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 14: Tyler Lockett isn't is an example of a guy who's

958
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 14: always gonna find you know, open window or you know,

959
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 14: become friendly to the court back when there's a scrambled situation.

960
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 14: DK did it in our in our first game against Arizona,

961
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 14: and I think Jackson's done it all season.

962
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 12: Man.

963
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 14: I think our guys do a great job in the

964
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 14: scrambled drill. And uh, yeah, you're saying like, be patient.

965
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 14: I mean the main thing is to get the ball

966
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 14: out to the guy. You don't want to hold the

967
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 14: ball back there forever. You got guys up, you know,

968
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 14: protecting in front and stuff. But you know, getting the

969
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 14: ball out on time is always. Getting in rhythm is always,

970
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 14: uh you know, our mindset and then if we have

971
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 14: to adjust on the fly. I think we've done a

972
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 14: good job at that. I think we continue to work

973
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 14: on it and get better.

974
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 4: What did you see when you went back and watched

975
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: the goal line sequence from the third quarter.

976
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 14: Of the Jaskins Yeah, I thought, uh, we had some opportunities.

977
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 9: Man.

978
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 14: Obviously the one pass to Noah, you know, touch too far,

979
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 14: could have you know, could have been a touchdown. We

980
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 14: could have pretty much ended it right there. But I

981
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 14: think overall, just things that we need to improve on.

982
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 14: It's one guy here, one guy there, and you know,

983
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 14: as as an offense, you know, you got to play

984
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 14: all eleven. Every guy's got to execute for a play

985
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 14: to work. And so if we can just clean up,

986
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 14: you know, some of our stuff down there, I think

987
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 14: we'll be better.

988
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 10: Along Simmer alliance when a short artist thing you mentioned,

989
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 10: you can personally you better at helping the team out

990
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 10: their household.

991
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 14: Just in always man, just always, you know, hit no

992
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 14: on the past. I mean that's pretty much simple right there.

993
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 14: And uh, you know we're not talking about this right now,

994
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 14: but overall, just you know, if I can improve on something,

995
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 14: I'm gonna, you know, try and do that. And I

996
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 14: think there's a lot of improvement to be had in

997
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 14: that area, in that situation. So you know, for us,

998
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 14: I just think we got to be included. We all

999
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 14: got to be better. And so that's really it for us, man,

1000
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 14: we just got to execute better.

1001
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 3: She who activated from the injured reserve, we'll hear from

1002

Speaker 13: It's a pretty pretty big award.

1008
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 16: What does that mean to you?

1009
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 20: I mean, it means a lot to be able to

1010
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 20: be recognized for everything that I'm doing. You know, it's

1011
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 20: it's great, but you knows, still a lot of work

1012
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 20: to be done and just want to keep it going.

1013
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 9: But definitely thankful, uh grateful and just keep it going.

1014
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 17: What inspired your work in the community.

1015
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 20: I feel like it's something that's always just been a

1016
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 20: part of me. So my parents taught me growing up,

1017
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 20: and I feel like there's this kind of guy I am.

1018
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 20: I've always been a guy to help others, uh since

1019
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 20: I was young, you know, even if it's like my

1020
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 20: I have three sisters, so just helping them, helping my

1021
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 20: parents around the house growing up, that's just what they

1022
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 20: taught me. So it's always been a part of me.

1023
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 20: And that's just the kind of guy who I am.

1024
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 12: Which initiative are you proud of, Stu?

1025
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: Or what was that?

1026
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 12: Which initiative do you are you proud of?

1027
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: Stuf?

1028
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 20: Or like the most I'll probably say the stuff I've

1029
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 20: done with my uh high school over the years has

1030
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 20: just kind of gotten a little worse since I went

1031
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 20: there over ten years ago, maybe yeah, ten years ago,

1032
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 20: so you know, just probably be able to get back

1033
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 20: to those student athletes over there, you know, give them

1034
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 20: something I didn't have when I went there, giving them

1035
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 20: the resources for them to be the best they can be.

1036
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 9: And yeah, what did they use that for?

1037
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 20: So, so what I was able to do was build

1038
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 20: an athletic center there, so they can have like a

1039
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 20: full time trainer on staff. They have like, uh, a

1040
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 20: room they can go in to get treatment, cold tubs,

1041
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 20: ice machines, you know, stuff that we do here like

1042
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 20: you know professional teams do or you know more other

1043
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 20: schools have that.

1044
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 9: You know my high school didn't.

1045
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 20: So just stuff to help those athletes be great and

1046
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 20: give them the che best chance to be successful.

1047
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 16: Are you able to ever go back to the games

1048
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 16: or whatever and kind of see them play games?

1049
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 9: Is tough?

1050
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 20: But you know I I follow you know, online, and

1051
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 20: you know, just try to keep do my best to

1052
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 20: keep up with them.

1053
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 9: They're doing good. They're just won their Open division titles.

1054
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 20: So I'm proud of them, and but I try to

1055
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 20: go back as much as I can. I went back

1056
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 20: for a graduation. I was a keynote speaker actually, which

1057
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 20: is pretty dope.

1058
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: So the does an off.

1059
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 13: Field more like this maybe mean even more? And you're

1060
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 13: the it's been a tough year for you obviously, Yeah,

1061
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 13: the injuries and everything you've had to give it. Yeah,

1062
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 13: can you maybe even appreciate something that's a little.

1063
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 17: More because of that?

1064
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 20: Yeah, absolutely is giving me more time to think about

1065
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 20: things that I want to do more even though you know,

1066
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 20: of course my mind is still on football, always will be.

1067
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 20: But you know, when you have that extra time, you

1068
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 20: can think about things you want to do for the community.

1069
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 20: And that's just what I've been trying to use to

1070
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 20: distract myself a little bit and not think so much

1071
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 20: of the injuries and you know, be down on myself.

1072
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 20: Just use this time to give back to the community

1073
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 20: and you know, make myself feel better.

1074
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: You know.

1075
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 17: So what was the theme of your graduation speech for that?

1076
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 20: Going over with the theme, uh, just basically just encouraging

1077
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 20: the kids just to follow their dreams, never give up,

1078
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 20: you know the talk, the regular talk.

1079
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 9: Always try to just.

1080
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 20: Yeah, build them up and just you know, keep them

1081
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 20: positive and know that there's you know, there's ways to

1082
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 20: always do what you want to accomplish. Even i it's

1083
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 20: not you know, road A, there's still road B you

1084
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 20: can take to get there.

1085
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 19: So then you also doing stuff here in the US,

1086
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 19: but you also are connected with your African roots. Can

1087
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 19: we talk about the duality of your helping.

1088
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 20: Yeah, I feel like it's really important to give back,

1089
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 20: you know, from where you're from. Knowing where my parents

1090
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 20: came from, going back there and seeing how they grew up,

1091
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 20: it's difficult, you know, it's tough. There was one specific

1092
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 20: thing where the village was without lights for like pretty

1093
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 20: much the whole year. So I was able to, you know,

1094
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 20: help out, give back and you know, cut the street

1095
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 20: lights back on stack and see at night, so which

1096
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 20: is huge cause once it gets like five o'clock is

1097
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 20: dark and no one can see. So you know, just

1098
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 20: helping just bring back light into the village and you know,

1099
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 20: just helping out that way anyway I can.

1100
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 9: Is That's what I'm here for.

1101
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 17: How many times have you been back there?

1102
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 20: I've been back to Africa twice. I went to Ghana

1103
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 20: for the n and for Africa thing. I think that

1104
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 20: was about three years ago. I can't really remember it.

1105
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 20: But then I went with my dad to Nigeria to

1106
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 20: see his village in my mom's village, uh last year.

1107
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 9: So that was a good time.

1108
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 17: How long is trip was that?

1109
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 9: What was that.

1110
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 17: How how long were you over there?

1111
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 20: I was only over there for a week because I

1112
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 20: had to you know, come back and start training and

1113
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 20: do a bunch of other stuffs too here.

1114
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 9: So but it it was a good trip.

1115
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 12: Was it one of your parents' village that you put

1116
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 12: the lights?

1117
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was my dad's village.

1118
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1119
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 17: I would be the guy to ask you about football.

1120
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 7: If that's okay.

1121
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 9: That's one. You know, last year.

1122
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 15: You you you uh got it had injury and the

1123
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 15: defense really struggled against I run. This year, it had

1124
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 15: an injury, a couple of injuries, and you've been able

1125
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 15: to watch the defense really find itself. Talk about what

1126
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 15: you've seen from the defense on the sidelines.

1127
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I see a lot of guys just playing hungry.

1128
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 20: You know, a lot of guys just going out there

1129
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 20: and just just trying to prove that they are they're

1130
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 20: The narrative that they have on the Seahawks is not true.

1131
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 9: And shout out to coach Mike Man.

1132
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,799

00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 20: good leaders on the team as well, and guys are

1137
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 20: being taking the initiative to do it themselves. And it's

1138
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 20: kind of like a competition out there. I see a

1139
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 20: guy is like, oh, okay, he's making plays. I'm trying

1140
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 20: to make plays too, So it's kind of building everybody up,

1141
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 20: you know, and everybody's kind of trusting each other and

1142
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 20: believe in the scheme and everybody's playing playing together.

1143
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 17: What are you hoping to add when you get back

1144
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 17: on the field.

1145
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 20: Just add my play making skills. That's one thing I've

1146
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 20: been doing my whole career is making plays. So that's

1147
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 20: one thing I'm looking forward to do when I get

1148
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 20: back here that they're just making plays.

1149
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 17: What's this your been like for your two pretty significant injuries.

1150
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, it's been tough. You know, I pretty much

1151
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 9: my whole career.

1152
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 20: I I've dealt with little injuries there, but nothing that's

1153
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 20: kept me out for this long, starting from last year

1154
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 20: with the with the UH with the peck injury. So

1155
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 20: you know, I'm just tryna just you know, just refigure

1156
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 20: out myself, you know, what I need to do better.

1157
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 20: I feel like it's really things that's kind of been

1158
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 20: out of my control, especially with the knee injury that

1159
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 20: I had, and then one one thing leads to another,

1160
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 20: you know, so who knows. So just kind of just

1161
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 20: revent refiguring myself out and just you know, just trusting

1162
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 20: my process and knowing that, you know, I know my

1163
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 20: career is gonna be great. I'm'a still be the same

1164
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 20: player I am, and just continue to trust myself.

1165
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 12: What did you think of that play in the preseason year?

1166
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 20: I thought it was dirty. Uh, straight up, I ain't

1167
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 20: like it. Uh it's preseason. We're gonna be there like

1168
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 20: two drives, you know, but it's football. You know, I

1169
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 20: get it as football at the end of the day.

1170
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 20: But it was definitely a dirty play.

1171
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 13: What what happened your most recent injury?

1172
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 17: What what happened on that one?

1173
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 20: Yeah, I was dealing with a thigh injury, so that

1174
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 20: what happened was I actually I tore my quad in

1175
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 20: uh my left my left quads. So that's what I

1176
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 20: was dealing with, you know, talking to doctors. You know,

1177
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 20: no surgery was needed. I rehab then I feel ready

1178
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 20: to go.

1179
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: Ye asked do you know.

1180
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 17: About that hit on Trevor Lawrence? Did you see that

1181
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 17: like a chance. Yeah, and d you kind of you

1182
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 17: kind of sympathized with both sides. You know, you obviously

1183
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 17: you wanna protect the quarterback. Do you understand it's how

1184
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 17: that you guys are making a split second decision.

1185
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know.

1186
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 17: Sometimes quarterbacks and fake slights and all that stuff.

1187
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: MM.

1188
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 13: I'm just curious how what your approach to that is

1189
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 13: what you think getting kind of conversations you.

1190
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 20: Kind of thought about, Yeah, it's difficult, you know, being

1191
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 20: a defensive player in this league. Now, you know, we

1192
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 20: got all these different rules and how to land and

1193
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 20: how to hit and when to not hit.

1194
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 9: And how to tackle. Like, it's really difficult, you know.

1195
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 20: And I'm sure that player had no intentions of you know,

1196
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 20: hurting Trevor, but I think, you know, from a defensive player,

1197
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 20: I think quarterbacks got a slide a little earlier. You know,

1198
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 20: you can't wait til the last second to test the guy,

1199
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 20: cause he's gonna give his heart go as hardest. You know,

1200
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 20: he's gonna keep playing. If you wait to get to

1201
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 20: that last second, you never know what might happen. Not

1202
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 20: saying it was right, but he's the guy's just playing hardest.

1203
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 20: And unfortunately Trevor got injured, you know, seriously.

1204
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 9: And we don't wish that any on anybody.

1205
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 17: So did the play that you got hurt on in

1206
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 17: the preseason? Is your perspective changed on that at all

1207
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 17: in terms of whether it was dirty or not.

1208
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 20: No, my perspective doesn't change it all on that that

1209
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 20: was a dirty play. I feel like the I feel

1210
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 20: like the way he was going, you're not allowed to

1211
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 20: block back to going towards your own end zone, and

1212
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 20: I feel like I was past him and the way

1213
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 20: he dove was coming back towards his own end zone,

1214
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 20: and I feel like it was dirty and it wasn't.

1215
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 17: It wasn't the fact that just the fact that it

1216
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 17: was a preseason game. Like if that happened in a

1217
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 17: regular season game, would you have felt the same way?

1218
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 9: I would have felt the same way.

1219
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 20: I know, you'll know you're allowed to cut, but you

1220
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 20: c th the way you cut, you can't go do

1221
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 20: it going back towards your own end zone. And that's

1222
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 20: what he did to me. So that's what made it dirty.

1223
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 13: It Every injury situation is different, but a lot of times.

1224
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 16: If a guy on IR and the teams on the road,

1225
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 16: you might be back home rehabbing, or spend next time.

1226
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 13: Tailable why it was important to you to be with

1227
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 13: the team and wild see on the sideline interact with

1228
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 13: the guys.

1229
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 9: I could.

1230
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 17: Why'd you wanna be there?

1231
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 2: Play?

1232
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 9: I just know that's just how who I am. You know,

1233
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 9: I don't wanna.

1234
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 20: I know, last year, when I had my peck injury,

1235
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 20: you know, that was kind of the first time I

1236
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 20: really got injured really in my career.

1237
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 9: So I took some time off.

1238
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 20: You know, coaches told me to you know, stay home,

1239
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,399
Speaker 20: be with your family, and then come back and join

1240
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 20: the team. So this year, I didn't want to abandon

1241
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 20: the team, you know, I wanted to be around those guys,

1242
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 20: keep leading being a leader that I am, keep you know,

1243
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 20: being a coach pretty much out there on the sideline,

1244
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 20: helping guys figure out how to beat certain blocks or

1245
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 20: how to play certain things that they're getting. So I

1246
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 20: was able to offer, you know, that part of my

1247
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 20: you know game, even though it's not on the field.

1248
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 20: It was more mental, and I felt like that was

1249
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 20: really important to those guys, and you know, being their

1250
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 20: kind of quote unquot cheerleaders on the sideline, I guess

1251
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 20: to help them keep their confidence up and stuff.

1252
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 15: Last time you played, uh, two different linebackers, different starting

1253
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 15: safety Raverson Harris wasn't here.

1254
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 17: A lot of change on the defensive side. Talk about

1255
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 17: some of the new at.

1256
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 20: Lian Yeah, we got a bunch of new guys. We're

1257
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 20: not a bunch of new guys. A couple of new

1258
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 20: guys out there. You know, EJ's doing a great job

1259
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 20: for us, stepping up. T Night is doing a good

1260
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 20: job for us stepping nut uh stepping up. But you know,

1261
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 20: sometimes that's the NFL. You know, things don't work out

1262
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 20: the way you hope. And you know, shout out to

1263
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 20: Jerome and t Do. You know they came in, did

1264
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 20: a great job for us when they were here, But

1265
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 20: you know, sometimes things just don't fit and instead of

1266
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 20: just having them here, you know, sitting on the bench,

1267
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 20: you know they're able to go and prolong their careers

1268
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 20: and you know, continue to play and show their skills

1269
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 20: on teams that they do fit with. So you know,

1270
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 20: to win on both sides at the end of the day.

1271
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 20: And you know, I'm happy to make friendships and relationships

1272
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 20: with those guys, but you know it's a mature of

1273
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 20: the business.

1274
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 9: You know, you gotta move on.

1275
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 20: You gotta produce, you gotta you know, you gotta gotta

1276
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 20: keep going.

1277
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 17: You feel like you could play.

1278
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 10: Like full normal work load on Sunday and you get

1279
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 10: to be like on a stand.

1280
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 20: That's what I'm preparing for. You know, that's a coach's

1281
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 20: decision at the end of the day. That's out of

1282
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 20: my control. But I'm preparing, like you know, to be

1283
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 20: able to play. You never know how the game goes.

1284
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 20: You know, it's football. You can be on a twelve

1285
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 20: play drive, you know, you never know. So I'm just

1286
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 20: trying to get my body is ready to go and

1287
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 20: play as many play as.

1288
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 1: I need to be.

1289
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 3: Voice of the Seahawks Steve Rabel joins us. Next, you

1295
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 3: joining us right now, Rabes, how's it going.

1296
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 12: Here's going great, Stace, how are you.

1297
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,720
Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm feeling optimistic about this Week fourteen matchup

1298
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 3: that could end up deciding the NFC West. Obviously a

1299
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 3: huge boon to Seattle if they win, but Rabes, I

1300
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 3: gotta see them get more than just six points on

1301
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 3: offense in this one. So how would you like to

1302
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 3: see them do it? What would you like to see

1303
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 3: differently offensively this time around?

1304
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 18: Well, if you go back to my pregame notes and

1305
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 18: if you ask Dave all the time when we do

1306
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 18: keys to the game that we have talked about this year,

1307
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 18: having to run the ball better, I think you see

1308
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 18: that probably in well of what twelve games, you'd probably

1309
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 18: see it in ten or eleven games where it was

1310
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 18: a part.

1311
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 11: Of the.

1312
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:10,479
Speaker 1: Fact.

1313
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 18: That's not because you're necessarily going to pick up two

1314
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 18: hundred yards or one hundred and fifty yards rushing. But

1315
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 18: the key is that by doing that, by being able

1316
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 18: to run the football, you balance that offense out and

1317
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 18: you make it easier to throw the ball. We know

1318
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 18: we can throw, We know that Gino's got targets, we

1319
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 18: know that he can hit them. We also know that

1320
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 18: every so often he'll throw an interception. Sometimes they're not

1321
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 18: his fault, but that happens as well, and running the

1322
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 18: football helps balance all of that out. It also helps

1323
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 18: control the clock keeps you ahead of the sticks, so

1324
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 18: it makes your offense more effective. So we have to

1325
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 18: do a better job of that. We didn't do a

1326
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 18: great job last week, although a little bit better against

1327
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 18: the Jets, not a very good job at all against

1328
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 18: the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago. It's coming along,

1329
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 18: I think, but you know, there's been a lot of

1330
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 18: up people on the offensive line, and I think that's

1331
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 18: the biggest that's the big part of what needs to

1332
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 18: kind of continue to grow together.

1333
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Rabes, do you think maybe it's more about

1334
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 4: kind of fine tuning what are we best at because

1335
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 4: we're pretty late in the season, and you know, it's

1336
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 4: kind of like you kind of know who your players

1337
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 4: are and you know when you look at at you know,

1338
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 4: offensive players that work and you're a you're a receiver.

1339
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 4: I know you like throwing the ball all over the yard.

1340
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 4: But what what do you see out of this offense

1341
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 4: that you think you know works? Like, realize who you

1342
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: are and you know what you know what you're best at.

1343
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: What do you think that is?

1344
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 18: Well, you know, again, it's it's hard not knowing all

1345
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 18: of what Ryan Grubb has, you know, in his toolbox

1346
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 18: and how much of that that a that they have

1347
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 18: put in. I mean they've probably installed virtually everything, but

1348
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 18: be how much of it they've just already set aside

1349
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 18: and said, you know what, let's let's kind of simplify

1350
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 18: our game plan a little bit. I think they did

1351
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 18: that on the defense and it's worked wonders. So having

1352
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 18: two new inside linebackers has really worked wonders. But on offense,

1353
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 18: you know, go back to that touchdown run. Just how

1354
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 18: you draw it up with with Charmoney at the end

1355
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 18: of the game, meaning to have it got it, Just

1356
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 18: how you draw it up offensive line blocking nice crease,

1357
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 18: Charmonaye follows blockers in there and scores. You know, it's

1358
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 18: it ain't rocket science, as the coaches used to tell me.

1359
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 18: It's it's it's a process and you have to learn together.

1360
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 18: And you know, we've only had a back for a

1361
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 18: couple of weeks and we're you know, in the process

1362
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 18: of working uh Le May into the offense. As he

1363
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 18: played every down he'll play again this week. I think

1364
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 18: it just it just takes a little time sometimes to

1365
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 18: kind of grow together.

1366
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 5: That way raids what are the the pros and the

1367
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 5: cons when you play a team twice in three weeks.

1368
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 18: That's a good question, and if I were a coach,

1369
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 18: I would probably would probably know a better answer to that.

1370
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 18: But I think the biggest thing is there's an advantage. Yeah, Okay,

1371
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 18: we just saw them, and you know, we know what

1372
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 18: they want to do and how they want to do it.

1373
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 18: The downside of that is they just saw you, and

1374
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 18: they know what you want to do and how you

1375
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 18: want to do it. So now it becomes a matter of, Okay,

1376
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 18: how can we alter things just a little bit so

1377
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 18: that we can you know, make progress. Are there some

1378
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 18: things we didn't show that we can now show that

1379
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 18: we want to try to do, or we just want

1380
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 18: to do our basic, basic things and do them better.

1381
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 18: You know, it was an amazing performance by these guys,

1382
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 18: the Seahawks, that is against the run. Especially Dave and

1383
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 18: I talked about it so much. They were averaging one

1384
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 18: hundred and fifty yards the game on the ground coming

1385
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 18: in and Kyler Murray gets like twelve yards or ten

1386
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 18: yards and Connor gets nine yards. It's amazing the job

1387
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 18: they did, the Seahawks did against the run. Can you

1388
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 18: duplicate that? Can you do it all again? I don't know,

1389
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 18: but you know, You've got all the same guys now

1390
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 18: out there that are going to do it, and that

1391
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 18: are even one more game advanced in their defensive thinking.

1392
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 18: So I don't know that it's necessarily a bad thing.

1393
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 18: I don't know if it's a big advantage.

1394
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 11: Or not either.

1395
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 3: Hey, Rabes, I had a lot of questions about Mike

1396
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: McDonald when the season started, heck, when training camp started,

1397
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 3: and I think now that we're entering into week fourteen,

1398
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: some of those have kind of been answered. Is there

1399
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 3: a question you had about the new Seahawks head coach

1400
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 3: that by week fourteen you think you have an answer to?

1401
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 18: Wow, you know, he's proven so much and maybe most

1402
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 18: of all what coaches have to do head coaches, especially,

1403
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 18: excuse me, is show that that steadiness at the helm

1404
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 18: of the ship when things aren't going well, when you

1405
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 18: lose five or six and people are already starting to write, well,

1406
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 18: was it really the right choice that we made? You know?

1407
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 18: I don't. John Schnei has made a lot of choices

1408
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 18: in his time as general manager, and this one is

1409
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 18: one that I think everybody would say was the right choice,

1410
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 18: and it's proven out. It just takes a little bit

1411
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 18: of time. So I think what he's shown most of

1412
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 18: all that I think has been the biggest advantage for

1413
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 18: him is that steadiness. He doesn't get up too high,

1414
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 18: too crazy. Maybe in the locker room right after the game,

1415
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 18: but then everybody is kind of crazy at that point

1416
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 18: and you're enjoying a win. But he doesn't get too low.

1417
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 18: He doesn't throw guys under the bus. He knows when

1418
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 18: they have to make corrections, how to make corrections, and

1419
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 18: how to stick to the plan. I know I'm sounding

1420
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 18: like him, but how to stick to the process, because

1421
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 18: that's the way you get through those tough times. And

1422
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 18: now that you're on the other side of those tough

1423
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 18: times and things are starting to work in your favor,

1424
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 18: how do you keep everybody focused on that playoff game

1425
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 18: every week? You know, we used to not talk about

1426
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 18: that very much. We always used to just say, well,

1427
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 18: it's just another game. Has just come right out and said, no,

1428
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 18: we have to play at a playoff level every single week,

1429
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 18: and that's the way you will finally advance to that

1430
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 18: and have a shot of winning the division. And I

1431
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 18: know they're doing that right now, and I think it's

1432
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 18: just going to be fun to watch. None of these

1433
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 18: games are easy, and I always have a pit in

1434
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 18: my stomach, just like Dave does. I didn't throw up

1435
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 18: before games like Dave did, but you have that pit

1436
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 18: as you're going in thinking what I always used to think.

1437
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 18: What's the worst thing that can happen when you're lined

1438
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 18: up out there wide as a wide receiver? Okay, what's

1439
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 18: the worst thing? What can this guy do across from me?

1440
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 18: Or if I'm lined up in you know, in the slot,

1441
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 18: what can happen? That's the worst thing. So I can

1442
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 18: be prepared for.

1443
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: So I'm texting you right now the worst thing that

1444
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: could happen?

1445
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 18: Okay, Well, I don't know that I want to look

1446
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 18: at that, but I will.

1447
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 11: I will do my best.

1448
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 3: It is a one oh five pm kickoff between Seahawks

1449
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 3: and Cardinals for Week fourteen in Glendale. Rabes on the

1450
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: call alongside Wyman. Thanks Rapes, Thanks very Hi.

1451
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 18: Guys, thank you see today.

1452
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 3: See you Well, let's head to Glendale. Learn a bit

1453
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 3: more about the Cardinals with ESPN's Josh Weinefist.

1454
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 9: Next.

1455
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: This this is the Huddle every Thursday from noon to two.

1456
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,919
Speaker 3: On Seattle Sports. You are listening to the huddle. Joining

1457
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 3: us right now for an opponent preview. It's ESPN's Josh

1458
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 3: Wine fist. Josh, how's it going?

1459
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 11: I am great?

1460
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 3: How are you fantastic? And Uh, it's going to be

1461
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 3: a really interesting battle between these two teams. The Arizona

1462
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 3: Cardinals a much better team than I was expecting.

1463
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 6: Josh.

1464
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 3: You obviously know this team much better. So is there

1465
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 3: is what they've done this year in terms of being

1466
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 3: being pretty competitive, a great year for Kyler surprising to

1467
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 3: you in any way or did you kind of see

1468
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 3: it coming.

1469
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 11: It's a good question, a little bit of both. You know,

1470
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 11: I'm not totally surprised or as surprised as other people,

1471
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 11: just because you saw the pieces there, right, You saw

1472
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 11: the individual talent, you saw the skill player, and you

1473
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 11: kind of saw what they put together at the end

1474
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 11: of last season. So but I am surprised kind of

1475
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 11: that four game winning streak, Like I was a little

1476
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 11: surprised at how well they started to play together at

1477
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 11: that point in the season. But with all that being set,

1478
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 11: like this team it has all the components to be

1479
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 11: a really good team, it's just can't put it all

1480
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 11: together yet. So when they came close against Buffalo in

1481
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 11: Week one, and then when they almost beat the Lions

1482
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 11: in Week three, You're kind of like, Okay, like this

1483
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 11: kind of this will be kind of that bridge season,

1484
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 11: right like last year's kind of a rebuild, wait for

1485
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 11: Kinder get back. This here'll be that bridge. And then

1486
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 11: they rattle off four straight. You're like, let's not be

1487
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 11: a playoff team, Like I might have to clear my

1488
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 11: calendar in January. So a little bit of both kind

1489
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 11: of expected because of what they have, also a.

1490
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: Little surprised as far as the player goes, Josh, was

1491
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 4: it a surprise that Trey McBride was going to be

1492
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 4: the leading target getter there? I mean, he's got fourteen

1493
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 4: more than Harrison Junior.

1494
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Has it scored a touchdown yet?

1495
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 4: At least a receiving touchdown anyway, But was he a

1496
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 4: big surprise? Has he been a big surprise this year?

1497
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 4: Did they kind of know that going in?

1498
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 11: No, it's not a surprise at all, Like they knew

1499
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 11: he was going to be an absolute star this year.

1500
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 11: I mean he kind of showed it last year after

1501
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 11: especially after they got after they released Zach Ertz, try

1502
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 11: mc bride took off, like he absolutely took off. And

1503
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 11: you know this season, this off season he had he

1504
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 11: built a lot of confidence. He went to tight end

1505
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 11: you so they kind of knew coming in, like especially

1506
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 11: with a full off season storing with Kyler, like if

1507
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 11: they can get that relationship down, which they did. Like,

1508
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 11: this team had very high expectations for treeming Bride and

1509
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 11: he fulfilled though. So and I know you say, like,

1510
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 11: you know, he has fourteen more catches than than Marvin

1511
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 11: Harrison Junior. Marvin Harrison Junior also has obviously seven touchdowns

1512
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 11: to trade zero, but he also has more yards. So

1513
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 11: I think it's also a product of him being kind

1514
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 11: of an outlet or he released for Kyler Murray. But

1515
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 11: the other thing is, like he's one of the top

1516
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 11: they thought five to ten tight ends in this league.

1517
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 11: And I think he can make you know, he can

1518
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 11: make a lot of plays. He's very hard to defend.

1519
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 11: He can do a little bit of everything, and I

1520
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 11: think he's just gonna keep getting better.

1521
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 5: Hey, they haven't been able to punch it in, get

1522
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 5: it in the the end zone. Five field goals made

1523
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 5: last week and then obviously against the Seahawks. I'm a

1524
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 5: couple of field goals there. What do you think it is?

1525
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 5: What's not connected? When it comes to this offense and

1526
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 5: being able to get Indian zone.

1527
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 11: If I had that answer, I'd be in Vegas right

1528
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 11: now making money. You know, it's weird because they were

1529
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 11: doing it so well during their winning streak and then

1530
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 11: they came out from the Bay and it just wasn't clicking.

1531
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 11: I think that's kind of just like kind of the

1532
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 11: ebbs and flows of the season, right like things work

1533
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 11: one week and things don't work the next week. They

1534
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 11: played two very good teams. I think they had a

1535
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 11: lot to do with it too, you know, like the

1536
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 11: Seahawks were able to really impact what Arizona wanted to do,

1537
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 11: and then last week the Vikings were able to do

1538
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 11: the same. You know, I think not having Marvin Harrison

1539
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 11: and Kyler Murray on the same page completely, I think

1540
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 11: it is an issue in the red zone. But also

1541
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 11: I think it's a combination of, you know, when things

1542
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 11: don't go their way, I think they kind of lose

1543
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 11: a little bit of confidence, a little bit of steam

1544
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,959
Speaker 11: from the locomotive offense that can just power through teams

1545
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 11: in the middle of the field. But it's it's weird

1546
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 11: because you know, everything was going still right for them

1547
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 11: during that stretch. They won four in a row. They

1548
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 11: won five out of six and everything was going great,

1549
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 11: and then they came out from the buy and you know,

1550
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 11: the question we're heading into the buy three weeks ago

1551
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 11: was what team will come out of this buy? Will

1552
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 11: it affect them? And obviously it has, but you know,

1553
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 11: all weeks we get we heard, you know, kind of

1554
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 11: the coach weak execution, execution, execution. They just got to

1555
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 11: go down there and make plays. Like it sounds sounds

1556
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 11: like I'm a coach now, but like that's really what

1557
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 11: it comes down to. Like they can get down there,

1558
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 11: they just have to finish. And how they do that,

1559
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 11: I mean the little things, it's it's not getting backed off.

1560
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 11: They started one drive of the nineteen Sunday in Minnesota,

1561
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 11: they got backed up to like the thirty. You know,

1562
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 11: it's like little things like that. And I know Kyler Murray,

1563
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 11: it's been kind of a thorn in his side throughout

1564
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 11: his whole career, aspecially under clip Kings, Like there are

1565
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 11: all these little things that affected this team. He hates it.

1566
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 11: He absolutely hates it. So I can't imagine his frustration

1567
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 11: level is very low right now when you're.

1568
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 3: A team that's been a little up and down the

1569
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: way both of these squads have. You can look back

1570
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 3: at certain games and go, I don't know that that

1571
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 3: ends up being that way ten out of ten times

1572
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 3: for the Seahawks. I look to the Giants game and

1573
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 3: I go, I don't know that they lose to the

1574
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 3: Giants ten out of ten times, but they did that day.

1575
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 3: I thought that Arizona against Seattle in Week twelve had

1576
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say entirely uncharacteristic, but like, it's been such

1577
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 3: a good run team and Kyler had been so solid

1578
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 3: and it felt like, you know, a down day for them. Overall,

1579
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 3: What would you say is the most likely aspect to

1580
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 3: their game that's that's most likely to change heading into

1581
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 3: Week fourteen.

1582
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 11: I think that I think getting Kyler involved early I

1583
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 11: think one thing was that when and this scene gets

1584
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 11: him out in space early in the first quarter, it

1585
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 11: changes the whole complexion of the offense because teams have

1586
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 11: to think about Kyler Moore because when they start the

1587
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 11: game just pounding the ball with James Connor throwing some

1588
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 11: passes to whether it's it's Marvin Harrison Junior, Michael Wilson,

1589
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 11: Ray McBride, and they don't run Kyler early, teams don't

1590
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 11: really have to focus on that, right there are two

1591
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 11: dimensional teams that have a three dimensional team. But when

1592
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 11: they get Kyler out early, like, it not only changes

1593
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 11: the run game, but changes the pass game because he's

1594
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 11: so good throwing on the on the move. So if

1595
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 11: they can get him out in space, whether it's a

1596
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 11: design run, whether it's an RPO, whether it's some sort

1597
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 11: of you know, just just an off schedule type of play,

1598
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 11: and let him put in the back of the Seahawks'

1599
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 11: defense's mind that, hey, we got to count to this

1600
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 11: guy because he's already making things happen. It could change

1601
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 11: that game. But when they don't, I feel like they

1602
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 11: take away a dynamic of this offense that is so valuable.

1603
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 11: And he doesn't want his legs to be the reason

1604
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 11: why they win, Like, he doesn't want to be the

1605
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 11: kind of a key cog to this offense, but he

1606
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 11: does know that he does need to make plays in

1607
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 11: order for the offense to get going. And if they

1608
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 11: can do that early, I think it changes the game.

1609
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Josh, the guy with the third most sacks L J. Collier,

1610
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 4: guy that was here and just didn't click for him here.

1611
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 4: But what do you what do you sing from him?

1612
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 4: And what do you what do you hear from him?

1613
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 4: When he talks about his stay here in Seattle.

1614
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 11: You know, he doesn't really talk about it a ton.

1615
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 11: I'm sure it'll come up again, you know, later, but

1616
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 11: if I talked to him tomorrow, but it really he

1617
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 11: doesn't really talk about it at the time. And I

1618
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 11: think he's just someone who he has said in the past,

1619
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 11: like he's just he knows what he can do, and

1620
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 11: he just he wants to go out and improve it.

1621
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 11: And I think he's showing that that what he's capable of,

1622
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 11: because this pass rush isn't a great pass rush, right,

1623
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 11: so what he I think, which makes what he's doing

1624
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 11: even more impressive because he's able to get to the

1625
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 11: quarterbacks in large part on his own. You know, obviously

1626
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 11: they're getting pushed from everywhere, but he's making plays happen

1627
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 11: because of l J. Cob not necessarily, maybe because the

1628
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 11: Edgars is pushing a quarterback in the up in the

1629
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 11: pocket or something like that. So I think, you know,

1630
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 11: he's showing he's they wanted him for reasons. He's big,

1631
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 11: he's strong, he's quick off the ball. Like I've been

1632
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 11: impressed what I've seen from him this year. He played

1633
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 11: one game last year, so really wasn't he You know,

1634
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 11: we don't really see much from a year ago, but

1635
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 11: I've been impressed with what I've seen frohim this year,

1636
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 11: and I think if he's showing what he's capable of

1637
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 11: and kind of what didn't all come through fruition up

1638
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 11: there in cl.

1639
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 5: You know, we we sit back and we look at

1640
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 5: the rest of the season for the Hawks, and we

1641
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:34,919
Speaker 5: come out with, Okay, they got to win these maybe

1642
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 5: split these two games. How are you guys looking at

1643
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 5: the rest of the season for the Cardinals, Seattle, New England,

1644
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 5: Carolina LA.

1645
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 6: Then he finished with the Niners.

1646
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 11: Uh, well, they have to win this game otherwise I

1647
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 11: think the division is going to be very hard for

1648
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 11: them to win, and I don't see the West getting

1649
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 11: a wildcard team in at this rates. So they need

1650
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 11: to win this game. Obviously, the next two after this

1651
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 11: are extremely winnable on paper, right, and then you go

1652
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 11: and play the the Rams in week seventeen, they were

1653
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 11: they beat them, They'd beat the Niners in Week eighteen.

1654
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 11: Like in theory, they could run the table win the

1655
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 11: last five, but they could also lose three of those five.

1656
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 11: You know they can lose. They can they could drop

1657
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 11: one of the two to New England or Seattle or

1658
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 11: to Carolina. We just the problem with the team is

1659
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 11: you don't know which team's going to show up every week.

1660
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 11: And being in the season like that was a big

1661
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 11: storyline was there was so much inconsistency that you had

1662
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 11: no idea, Like they didn't know what she was going

1663
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 11: to show up. All we heard was a great week

1664
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 11: of practice. We didn't know who was gonna play on Sunday, right,

1665
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 11: Like they went into the Green Bay game, they had

1666
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 11: no idea what she was gonna show up, and they

1667
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 11: got beat pretty badly, and but they saw a chance

1668
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 11: to win that game. Like you a couple of small

1669
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 11: players in that game, the outcome would have been different.

1670
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 11: But they I just don't know who's gonna show up

1671
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 11: for the stretch run. Like they talk about, you know,

1672
01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 11: one game at a time, like all the stuff we

1673
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 11: hear every least for every team, But like they also

1674
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 11: aware what every game means long term, like they have

1675
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 11: to be. They all peak at the standings. They all

1676
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 11: understand like if they lose this game, their chances of

1677
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 11: making the playoffs go down dramatically, and I think that

1678
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 11: that's going to be on their mind, Like it can'tnot

1679
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 11: be on their mind. I don't care how mentally strong

1680
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 11: you are as a player, like you you are thinking

1681
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 11: about that. But like like I said, like they could

1682
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 11: go five and o the next five, they could go three,

1683
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 11: two and three, they can go one and four, they

1684
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 11: go four to one, Like I just, we have no

1685
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 11: idea who shows up on Sunday, but they're capable of

1686
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 11: doing all of that.

1687
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: Well.

1688
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be facing a tougher Cardinals team,

1689
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 3: at least from the Seattle point of view. I just

1690
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 3: I can't see Kyler being held back the way he

1691
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 3: was in Week twelve. But it'll be a great battle,

1692
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 3: fun Week fourteen matchup. He is ESPN's Josh Weinfisz.

1693
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Thanks Josh, anytime.

1694
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 3: All right, John Boyle joining us next. You're listening to

1695

Speaker 3: You you are listening to the Huddle with Dave Warman,

1699
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 3: Michael Bumpas Stacy Rostin. Joining us right now, John Boyle

1700
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,799
Speaker 3: at Seahawks dot Com. We're going to share some final

1701
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 3: thoughts and wrap up our preview here at Seahawks Cardinals

1702
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 3: John We just spoke with Josh Weinfuss, who covers the

1703
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Cardinals for ESPN, and he said that the story of

1704
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 3: the Cardinals this year has been which team is going

1705
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 3: to show up? Even if you had a great week

1706
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 3: of practice, it was Okay, are you going to get

1707
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 3: the best version of Kyler and James Connor? Or you're

1708
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 3: going to get a team that puts up six points

1709
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 3: and struggles to do much of anything. Feels like that

1710
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 3: used to be the story of the Seahawks, and now

1711
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm counting on them a little bit more.

1712
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 3: A big part of that has been defense. What have

1713
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 3: you seen that feels real about the defensive turnaround?

1714
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 16: You know, I think it's been what four games now,

1715
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 16: really going back to the loss against the Rams, where

1716
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 16: that defense has stopped the run pretty consistently, even you know,

1717
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 16: the forty nine ers I think had one hundred and

1718
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 16: thirty summer rushing arts, but it was on a lot

1719
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 16: of carries. They held McCaffrey well under his average. And yeah,

1720
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,680
Speaker 16: it's been you know, I think we're just seeing what

1721
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 16: this defense can be once you starts stopping the run,

1722
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 16: where then we get the cool pressures on third down

1723
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 16: and the different blitzes, different looks, and Mike McDonald wants

1724
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 16: to throw at teams. They weren't able to get to

1725
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 16: that stuff when they weren't stopping the run. So that yeah, defensively,

1726
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,520
Speaker 16: you know, Ernest Jones been awesome. I think Tyers Sninsteine

1727
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 16: really a job since he started there, and it's just been,

1728
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 16: you know, a week after week a really good defense

1729
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 16: and not not a lot of those caveats of like,

1730
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 16: oh well the quarterback was this guy or they were

1731
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 16: missing this guy, Like you know, good quarterbacks, good, good

1732
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 16: running backs, good opponents, and they're still doing this.

1733
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 4: You know, I just still we were talking about Big

1734
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 4: Cat and just kind of marveling over not only how

1735
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 4: well he's been playing, but that particular play. You know,

1736
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 4: we were talking about how the fact that he looked

1737
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 4: like he was a linebacker dropping into a zone.

1738
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that was.

1739
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 4: Pretty funny was was it Garrett Wilson that tried to

1740
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 4: tackle him?

1741
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Somebody bounced off his nose?

1742
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 16: Yeah, like it wasn't even there.

1743
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it didn't even affect him, Like it didn't reroute him.

1744
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 16: Yeah, I didn't in real time, I thought he was untouched,

1745
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 16: and then I watched the replay, I was like, no, no,

1746
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 16: somebody hit him. But it just yeah, but like you know,

1747
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 16: just like your little brother, like slap him off.

1748
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 4: But I mean just the way he's been playing, and

1749
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 4: you know what, it's really remarkable for a guy that's

1750
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,520
Speaker 4: that big and watching.

1751
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Him run down the field, he was moving, could not

1752
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: believe that.

1753
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 4: So, I mean, just it's I'm trying to remember the

1754
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 4: last time I've seen a stretch up two games for

1755
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 4: by a defender.

1756
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean maybe Cortez Kennedy.

1757
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, for an interior guy to be that disruptive two

1758
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 16: weeks in a that's really hard to do. And you

1759
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 16: mentioned Cortez Kennedy. He's the first. Leonard is the first

1760
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 16: Seahawks defensive tackle to be Player of the Week since

1761
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 16: Cortez Kennedy. So it's been a little while. Yeah, but yeah,

1762
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 16: I mean just you know, have what four and a

1763
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 16: half sacks in two games, plus you know, the biggest

1764
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 16: play this season arguably with that pick six. I guess

1765
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 16: it's been really cool to see him. I mean, he's

1766
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 16: been playing really well all year, but sometimes you can

1767
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 16: you can play well at that position and not always

1768
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 16: show up on the stat sheets. So for him to

1769
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 16: really start popping like this is pretty fun to see who's.

1770
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 5: The leader of this defense because I would think, one,

1771
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 5: you gotta play.

1772
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 6: Well to be a leader. Yeah, and Lennard's been balling out.

1773
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 5: He's a veteran. J lel has been balling out. He's

1774
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,839
Speaker 5: a veteran. Ernest has been balling out. He's a veteran.

1775
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 5: But it seems like Ernest kind of him be having

1776
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 5: the green dot and doing the communication puts him in that.

1777
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 6: Leadership rol automatically.

1778
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 5: But when it's time to talk to somebody, who do

1779
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 5: you think is the guy over there?

1780
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 16: You know, I think there's a few of them. I

1781
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 16: don't think this is a you know, there's a stretch

1782
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 16: for this franchise where it was like very clear it

1783
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 16: was Bobby and Russ's team, like they were the two

1784
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 16: clear veteran leaders on each side of the ball. And

1785
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 16: I think, you know, going back to twenty twenty two

1786
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 16: when when Russ left and Bobby left, even though Bobby

1787
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 16: did come back, I think that sort of created a

1788
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 16: shift where you had more more leaders instead just one guy.

1789
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 16: So yeah, I mean, Julian really jumps out to me

1790
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 16: as one of those guys. But even he's not, you know,

1791
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 16: the demonstrative yelling at guy's kind of leader, but just

1792
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 16: in terms of the respect and taking command of things,

1793
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 16: he's really good at that.

1794
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Up front.

1795
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 16: I think it's probably Jared Reid's a huge leader in

1796
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 16: that group, even though maybe he doesn't get the recognition,

1797
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 16: you know, of a Leonard Williams or something like that.

1798
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 16: But yeah, those two I think are leading the charge

1799
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 16: of front of Chenna now that he's coming back. Yeah,

1800
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 16: he's definitely a leader of that defense too, But it's

1801
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 16: hard to say there's really one guy. And maybe maybe

1802
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 16: over time, you know, Furnest Jones is back and they

1803
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 16: get a long term deal done with him, maybe that

1804
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 16: becomes his role because as you said it, it naturally

1805
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 16: fits that position. But he is pretty new here, so

1806
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 16: I think maybe there's other guys.

1807
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: Doing it too.

1808
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1809
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 3: I don't like looking down on any part of a

1810
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 3: win streak or on a team that's in No, I'm not, however,

1811
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:33,640
Speaker 3: But however, the point differential they've been putting up is

1812
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 3: a little too close for comfort for me. They just

1813
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 3: haven't been scoring a ton and k I know, and

1814
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 3: they've been benefiting from obviously pick sixes in two of

1815
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 3: those games and obviously suffering with a pick six offensively

1816
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 3: in one of them. So what's an area on offense

1817
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 3: where if you started seeing a change there, you'd think,

1818
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,520
Speaker 3: I feel pretty good about this team's chances in the playoffs.

1819
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 16: Just start running the ball better, Like I still really

1820
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 16: I know there's been more interceptions than we'd like, but

1821
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 16: I still really trust you know, Smith in that passing game,

1822
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 16: and we see it even when the offense hasn't been great.

1823
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 16: We've seen in these recent wins, like when they need

1824
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 16: to drive late in the game, they've come through. And

1825
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 16: I just think, you know, if you can start running

1826
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 16: the ball more consistently for four quarters, doesn't need to

1827
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 16: just be dominant. I'm not saying you need to be

1828
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 16: the best rushing offense in the NFL, but just get

1829
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 16: to where you can count on it and you know,

1830
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 16: move the chains a little bit. With the wrong game,

1831
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 16: I think this offense could really take a big leap.

1832
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 16: But well, the last game was weird too, because it's

1833
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 16: like the offense was barely on the field in that

1834
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 16: first half because special teams turn it over twice and

1835
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,360
Speaker 16: then you have the long kick return.

1836
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 3: They had a nice response.

1837
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, so it's like you look at offensive numbers last

1838
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 16: week and they're not great. But it's a little hard

1839
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,600
Speaker 16: for me to judge that performance. Kevin. Everything going on

1840
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:47,600
Speaker 16: special teams.

1841
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 4: So were you given in Mike McDonald all kinds of

1842
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 4: advice on, you know, having new babies, and yet.

1843
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 16: I think he's been all too busy to come find

1844
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 16: a team reporter and ask for dad.

1845
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you have a lot of experience there, and

1846
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 4: I do. That was the boy was he born on

1847
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 4: the on Tuesday.

1848
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 16: Was Tuesday night, which if you're gonna have a baby

1849
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 16: in season, I was going to the labor Monday and

1850
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 16: a baby tuesdays.

1851
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he planned it perfectly.

1852
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 16: It's a hell of a way to do it.

1853
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:14,560
Speaker 3: Credit to Stephanie.

1854
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, what course we're not.

1855
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:18,640
Speaker 16: We're not giving Mike a lot of credit here, that's all.

1856
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah. I like the way, you know, and

1857
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: he we're talking about how he's kind of blunt. He

1858
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: just sort of like spits things out.

1859
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 4: The way he talked about his wife and everything that

1860
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 4: was just it was very like unrehearsed.

1861
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: I loved it.

1862
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 16: Yeah, it was great. I mean it's obviously a big

1863
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 16: moment in his life and I can't even imagine. I mean,

1864
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 16: most of us have a kid. You take a little

1865
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,440
Speaker 16: more time off than he's going to be able to. Yeah,

1866
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 16: and just the job he has of like your first

1867
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,799
Speaker 16: year head coach in the middle of this playoff push.

1868
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:46,880
Speaker 16: That's a big life change. But you know, I think

1869
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 16: it'll you know, a lot of talk to some of

1870
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 16: his players who are parents, and they're kind of it's

1871
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 16: gonna be good for a middle you know, help him

1872
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 16: kind of gain a little perspective in life and some

1873
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:55,799
Speaker 16: things a little differently.

1874
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 4: So it's kind of funny too because he at one

1875
01:16:58,240 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 4: point he goes, yeah, I can't wait to go home

1876
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 4: and see HM tonight.

1877
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a chance to him that.

1878
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 6: He had that look in his eye. I've seen some things.

1879
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: He was like a war veteran. Y oh my god,

1880
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: got the thousand yards to.

1881
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 6: Different type of respect to y as for sure. Who's there?

1882
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 5: Who's your your I mean, I'm gonna make you pick

1883
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 5: a favorite.

1884
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 6: I guess I'm sorry, Boil, who's your favorite player to

1885
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 6: talk to?

1886
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,919
Speaker 5: Just candidly and off the record, just besing around, man.

1887
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 16: I don't know that's can put me on the spot

1888
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 16: like that, Like.

1889
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 6: I will give me a group a group position.

1890
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 16: I know the dB is a lot like I was

1891
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 16: gonna probably go Julian Love anyway because he's just ya

1892
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 16: chattle with him a lot. I just like that dB

1893
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:39,520
Speaker 16: group's got some cool personalities.

1894
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fun group.

1895
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 3: It's a good question. Who's what about all times since

1896
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 3: you've been a reporter, maybe one of your favorite guys

1897
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 3: you've covered.

1898
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 16: I mean, it's such an obvious one about Bobby because

1899
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 16: he was like he was a guy who like was

1900
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 16: chill in the locker room and hanging out with guys

1901
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 16: and would just kick it with the beat guys off

1902
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 16: the record, and then he became this like super star

1903
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 16: and he's still did that. Like I'm not like judging

1904
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 16: the guys who shift away from that and they only

1905
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 16: want to do their press commerce, but like Bobby and

1906
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 16: kJ is like they'd hold court in their locker and

1907
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 16: talk about off field stuff, talk about family like those

1908
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 16: two guys.

1909
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 3: I always thought it was notable when guys became superstars

1910
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 3: and we're still like remembered a reporter's name or they

1911
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 3: were polite or they were because you don't have to

1912
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 3: be yeah, and it's not even expected that you do.

1913
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1914
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 3: So I was really tlling. Okay, so we have about

1915
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 3: thirty seconds here, and so keep your answers really short.

1916
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 3: But in order to get ready for week fourteen, we'll

1917
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 3: go bump Wyman John. Seahawks win, if.

1918
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 5: They win, if they win the turnover battle again, Kyler

1919
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 5: Murray's been throwing that thing in places he shouldn't throw it,

1920
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 5: So keep your rolling.

1921
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: The good one.

1922
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's gonna get only nine yards, but

1923
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 4: contain because we talk about the you know, the the

1924
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 4: bulrush and you get the chinna back and you know,

1925
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:55,320
Speaker 4: maybe not flying up field and trying to you know,

1926
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 4: take him out.

1927
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: Just contain Kyler Murray.

1928
01:18:59,479 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 3: Boyle.

1929
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 16: I'm gonna say winning the red zone we obviously the

1930
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 16: very obvious struggle the Seahawks had down there. But on

1931
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 16: the other side of it, Cardinals have been a really

1932
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 16: good red zone team until that game of Seahawks, and

1933
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,800
Speaker 16: then they've struggled the last couple of games in there.

1934
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 16: So I think whichever team can kind of find their

1935
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 16: way offensively in the red zone is gonna have a

1936
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 16: big edge. Also, Doug Baldwin too. I'm gonna feel bad

1937
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 16: if I don't mention it when you talk about my

1938
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:19,600
Speaker 16: favorite guess.

1939
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 6: That's great one.

1940
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 3: Definitely definitely feel bad if I leave him out. That

1941
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 3: whole group had some really great guys. Have so many

1942
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 3: good memories from that Super Bowl squad and those those

1943
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 3: era but lots of great guys on that squad too,

1944
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 3: good personalities. Seahawks at Cards in Glendale. Kickoff is at

1945
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,640
Speaker 3: one oh five PM. Wyman's going to be on the

1946
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 3: call with Raves. Of course, you could hear Bump on

1947
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 3: the pre and postgame show. Make sure you're reading recaps

1948
