1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Like when you did yourself evaluation this past week. Um, 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: the offense has been kind of sluggish coming out of 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: the gate. Did you uncover any kind of common denominators 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: what you can address moving forward? Yeah, there are some. 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: There's some good stuff that we looked at as a staff. 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: Really took some good time and evaluated first, second down, 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: third down, red zone, just took just really kind of 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: want piece by piece on personnel groupings, the players, putting 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: those guys in in the spots that they're on the 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: right spots, and UM, I think we came out with 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: some good information and stuff that we can apply moving forward. 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: How much that though, is getting a feel for, you know, 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: not only what your guys are doing, but what the 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: other side is doing. Yeah, it's a good combination of both. 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: You know, you have to make sure, Um, you know, 16 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: we've had we've had some new players come in and 17 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: so we're constantly evaluating how those guys playing, what you know, 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: what their strengths are and what their weaknesses are, and 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: then also trying to tie that into what we see 20 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: from a defensive standpoint. That's, um, that's been the key 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: and that's what we spent a ton of time on 22 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: every single day, Like, what what have you seen from 23 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: Kenny after the buy here? And and what can you 24 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: reasonally expect from him after you know, such a quiet 25 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: first part of the season. Yeah, well, well Kenny, Kenny 26 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: came out yesterday, had a good day of practice. Really 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: the standard for him and for every for every players 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: to come out plays practice hard. Um, you know, work 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: on your techniques and assignments, and then um, you know, 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: when your role is defined in the game you wanting 31 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: to execute. Do you have any sense that he can 32 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, give you something in the second half here? 33 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: I mean and and and when you look back other 34 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: than the injuries, what do you see why you just 35 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: didn't work for him on the first day. Yeah, I 36 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: don't want to get too far ahead. I think today 37 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: is a big practice for everybody. You know, we got 38 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: a ball of the game plan in or our pace 39 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: for a second down staff putting some more third downs 40 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: and red zone today. So um, this will be a 41 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: good test to kind of work through all the stuff 42 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: and make sure we're on the same page. If you 43 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: don't want to get for half, I just looking back 44 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: and see, you know what would have speed bumps that 45 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: you noticed for him? The first half of the season. 46 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: I think Kenny's done a good job. You know, Kenny's 47 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: came in and he's been a great teammate. Um, he's 48 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: coming and worked hard when he's when he's been practicing, 49 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, he's got a little dinged up, so um 50 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: he you know, he worked his tail off to get 51 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: ready for for this week and we're happy that he's available. 52 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: The reality with him is his role has been him 53 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: before he was injured. Um, with where you are now, 54 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: how much would you like that the you know, for 55 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: him to do more moving forward? Yeah, every week, you know, 56 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: each day we'll go together as a staff and and 57 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: get together with Dave's and talk about each everyone's role, 58 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: everyone's job you know, per that game plan and so 59 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: it's still being still being defined. You know, every single 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: day we evaluate that and make sure we get the 61 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: guys in the right spot. And Um, by the time 62 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: we get the Sunday, we have a good plan and 63 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: everyone understands what they're doing. How much Roll grow now 64 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: that he's been healthy, he's been you know back in 65 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: the mix. What wan Dale's continuing to grow in the 66 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: offense as a young player. Um, he's doing all the 67 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: right things. In the classroom, UM and getting on the 68 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: same page with the quarterback and that's that's really important 69 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: for a young guy, UM, and then you want to 70 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: learn how to be a pro. And I think he's 71 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: done a good job of that UM today and I 72 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: think he'll continue to do that throughout this week. You 73 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: guys did to make a lot of bigger news and 74 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: intense trade that de Gataiah. Yeah, there's definitely a lot 75 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: of familiarity with Isaiah in the offense UM and having 76 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: some experience with that. So it's he's been great to 77 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: kind of come in and plug in into the offense 78 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of familiarity for him offensively. You know, 79 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: there's some new things that we've um, we might have 80 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: changed and just different verbiage, but he's handling it great 81 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: and UM. You know again again today's you know, they're 82 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: one of those big days as far as workload from 83 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: from the game plan. At that point, why have you 84 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: been so a few shots down the field in the 85 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: passing game? Is that's something that needs to increase. Absolutely. 86 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: I think you gotta find ways to create explosive It 87 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: definitely helps offense. It's it's hard to you know, put 88 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: together thirteen fourteen, play drives and finish and go on score. 89 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: So you know you've got to find a way to 90 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: generate explosives in the run game, the past game. UM. 91 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, we definitely evaluate that. You look back at 92 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: the first half of the season, did you think you 93 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: use sake want enough? You should have used the West? 94 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: How did you look at it? Uh, that's that's a 95 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: good one. I think you know, when you look we're 96 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: at in the game, there's a there's a lot of 97 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: different situations that come up. Sure, would you want to 98 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: get you know, a premier player of the ball, Yes, absolutely, 99 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes you gotta react to what the 100 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: defensive shown in um. Other people have to have to 101 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: step up and make those plays too. So I think 102 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Sa Kwan is a you know, he's a he's a 103 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: good part of our offense. He does a lot of 104 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: things for us in the past game, protection in the 105 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: run game. UM. But there's a lot of other players too. 106 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: It's eleven man operation on offense, so it can't just 107 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: be one guy all all. Everyone's a part of it, 108 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: including the coaches and putting everyone in a in a 109 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: good spot to be successful. This is he's had some 110 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: slow starts to getting back to the original questionnaire. Is 111 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: that part of that to be expected because the team 112 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: is going him to come out and try to shut 113 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: him down? UM, I don't know, if I don't know 114 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: if that's UM, that's real. I think, you know, we 115 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: gotta go out and execute our offense, UM and make adjustments. 116 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: I think we have to do a better job of 117 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: that is you know, offensively coaching standpoint, you know, get 118 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: our guys in the right spot, UM and put them 119 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: there in that way they can go out and go 120 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: play fast. I mean, that's at the end of the day. 121 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: That's all comes down to, is our execution and our discipline. 122 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: You know, at all three levels. What are you expecting 123 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: from Daniel here in the second half and how can 124 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: he sort of get you guys offensively to the next level? Yeah? 125 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: This this the standard for us hasn't changed. I think, 126 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, today we're at just going and having a 127 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: great practice. That's that's the first step. And then as 128 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: the week goes on, just keep on getting better and 129 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: understanding the game plan, understanding our opponent and UM, and 130 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: then we go out and execute on Sunday. How much 131 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: saying how much if we just say he's more like 132 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, from a new first game and you have 133 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: to learn about him. Yeah, there's there's definitely a lot 134 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: of trust between me and Dana. We we met, We 135 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: meet very often, um, you know, especially in the offseason 136 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: during training camp. You know, we were meeting every single 137 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: morning for an hour talking through the game, talking through 138 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: the installs, talking ranking stuff. We talk, you know, multiple 139 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: times a week about the install. At the end of 140 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: the week, you know, we we go through each every 141 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: single play on the call sheet, rank it, talk about it, 142 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: see how we're gonna use it within the game, how 143 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the game. If a game goes one way, we'll go 144 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: this direction. If a game goes another way, we go 145 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: this direction. So we definitely talk a lot about that 146 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: and he does a great job with it, and he's 147 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: a pro and he've done he's been around you know 148 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: here for a few years now and has seen a 149 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: few things. So, um, it's been good to lean on 150 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: him and get his comfortability with the offense. Can get more? 151 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Can you get more from him? Like or where he's at? 152 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: That's yeah, you know, Don Daniel is doing a great 153 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: job and he's doing everything we're asking him to do 154 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: and I think as as the offense continues to progress 155 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: and we keep on finding find a ways to get 156 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: our best players of football. UM, you know he'll continue 157 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: to do what we ask him. What did you think 158 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: the main execution issues and where in Seattle? UM, I 159 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: would say, you know, we go back and look at it. 160 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean, every every group had a piece of it. 161 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: Every um and that's it goes it again. It goes 162 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: all three levels, hole on, running back, receivers, quarterbacks. I mean, 163 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: everyone's a part of it. And I think we went 164 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: back and looked at all the little fundamental things techniques, 165 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: those things showed up. UM. You know we look at 166 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: it evaluate as a play caller that I put my 167 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: guys in the right spot in that situation. UM. You 168 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: know there's things that showed up that way as well. 169 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: So you know, I tell the guys all time, we're 170 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: all the staying together. We've got to make sure that 171 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: we're all um, we're all doing our part. And if 172 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: there's little things that we gotta fix, we we talk, 173 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: we communicate, we adjust, and then we can we go 174 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: back and fix it. So that's what that's what was 175 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: great about to buy as you had that opportunity to 176 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: do that UM, because you know, sometimes you get rolling 177 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: in the weeks kind of just keep on going and 178 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: then you're not able to kind of step back and 179 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: reevaluate the big picture of things. And so that was 180 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: a great time for us as a staff, as players 181 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: to kind of get rejuvenated and kind of go back 182 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: to UM more of the basic stuff and fundamental things 183 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: and re teach those things.
