Let's talk about the Seattle Seahawks, how 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: they look in twenty twenty and who they kept. So 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: they retained Jarren Reid, Jordan Timmas, Nicol Thorpe who is 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: still a captain on the special Team's Union, which I 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: thought was dope, Mike you Potty, Luke Wilson, David Moore, 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister, and then the man flash himself, Josh Gordon 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: has been resigned. What are your thoughts on the guys 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: that they retained, do they take him to the next level? 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: What do you see in this group? Well, it's been 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: big man. I mean, we'll start with the first guy 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: you mentioned and Jaren Reid. Like you know, in twenty eighteen, 31 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: he had ten sacks, had the best season his career, 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: a guy that's been doing it and been a big 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: part of this locker room and his team. So I'm 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: really excited about him. And last year obviously he didn't 35 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: start the season, he came in after six games. So 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm looking for him to come back to that twenty 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen form and just kind of perform, really help 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: bring the pressure from the inside, and I'm looking for 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: him to have a really big breakout. Ye you know 40 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: what you're getting from the other guys. Man Nico Thorpe 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: is the life in this locker room, the man gets 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: after on special team's good depth in the secondary. Mike 43 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: you Potty, he's an og. We've seen what he's been 44 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: doing for years. He's still gonna be good. He stays healthy. 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: And then Luke Wilson another guy that I'm super excited about, 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: just because again he's like Nico Thorpe, the energy he 47 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: brings to this team. He knows the system. He's been 48 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: here for so long, so he's definitely gonna help a 49 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: really talented tight end room. And Jacob Hollister and then 50 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon hopefully we'll get to see him soon. So 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: I feel good about those guys. What about you? Yeah, 52 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: I feel good about it. Jarren Red he needs to 53 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: pop and he needs the ball this year. I mean, 54 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: there's only three three D bad defensive tackle at that 55 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: position as of now. You assume they're gonna have some 56 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: guys to that spot up the season goes along, or 57 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: bring out from practice squad, whatever, they're gonna make moves there. 58 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: But Jarren Red needs to go and he has a 59 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: full off season kind of a full off season because 60 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: no OTAs or whatnot. But he's had a full camp, 61 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: he's there, he's ready to go. The guy was worried 62 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: about out of that group was Luke Wilson. I wasn't 63 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: sure what they were gonna do with Luke Wilson because 64 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: you have Greg Olsen, you goat Jacob all this straight. 65 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Don't forget Uncle Will. I wasn't sure if they're gonna 66 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: carry forward tight ends. They're carrying forward. That's nice to see. 67 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: If they didn't carry for I'm sure they would try 68 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: to get Luke on the practice squad. And David Moore. 69 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: David Moore Man, he's been one of the most consistent 70 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: receivers during this camp and one of the least talked 71 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: about at the same time, because you have DK, you 72 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: have Lockett, then you bring in Philip doors set and 73 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: you're just thinking your focus is on those guys. And 74 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: Demo is being consistent. He's been humble, he's been quiet, 75 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: he's been going out and making play. So I'm happy 76 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: to see that dude get another opportunity. I think he 77 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: can get it done. So I like the group. So 78 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: now let's switch over to the guys that they added, 79 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna save the best for last. Okay, we're gonna 80 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: Carlos High coming off a thousand yard season, Greg Ohs 81 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: some triple og, b J Finney, who is supposed to 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: battle for that center spot, Cedric Oh boy they got 83 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: from the Jacks, Brandon Shell who's holding down that tackle spot. 84 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: Quentin Dunbar. We were kind of suspect is he gonna 85 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: be here or not? And then Philip Doors set last 86 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: but not least, the guy who's made the biggest impact 87 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: on this defense so far this year, Jamal Adams, what 88 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: are your thoughts, man, Well, when you talk about that 89 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: group of guys. Honestly, Jamal Adams, I don't want to 90 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: get ahead of myself, but that man immediately brings us 91 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to probably the best secondary, if not one of the 92 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: best in the NFL. I mean, straight up, watching this 93 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: guy up close at practice, I mean he just, first 94 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: of all, the juice he brings is unreal. It's unparalleled, man, 95 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: It's it's some stuff I feel like we haven't seen 96 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: around here outside of guys like Bobby Wagner on that 97 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: defensive side. And what we're gonna be able to have 98 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: him do. I mean, we don't really know, we're probably 99 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: gonna see it at all, whether it's in pass rush, 100 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, in the box, whether it's making 101 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: plays in the back end as a deep safety. So 102 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is someone that I think you pair him 103 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: with Shaquille Griffin, Trey Flowers, Slash, Quentin Dunbar Quandre Diggs, 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: who they both already have a great relationship, I mean honestly, 105 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: top to bottom. I think that makes us one of 106 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: the best secondaries in the league. And then you talked 107 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: about a couple of other guys, Greg Olsen. You know 108 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: what he's going to get with Greg Man. Greg is 109 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: a true professional on and off the field. He's been 110 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: battled some injuries the last couple of years, but if 111 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy like he's done so far in camp, 112 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna really bolster that room. And then you bring 113 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: in a guy like Brandon Schell, who has been holding 114 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: it down. He came in here and he essentially took 115 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: that starting job and he's gonna ride with it. So 116 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: like I love the guys they added, I think it 117 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: really is a huge improvement from last season. Yeah, I agree, 118 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams was gonna change the game in the back end. 119 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I forgot to mention Ben to Mayo and Bruce Irvin. 120 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: That's what twelve thirteen sacks right there, you can talk 121 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: about this team had twenty eight sacks like sure, the 122 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel along with the Atlanta Falcons and 123 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Gotta get up out of here, gotta 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: get out out the bottom of the league. Ben to 125 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Mayo and Bruce Irvin should be the guys. Do that. 126 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: You talk about Bruce Irvin, all, he's old, he's this, 127 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: he's that, he's coming off his best year as a 128 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: professional nass. You talk about ben to Mayoa, Oh, we 129 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: don't know what he can do. He had seven a 130 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: half sacks as a rotational guy for the Raiders. So 131 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: they didn't sign the big names that the Twelves were 132 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: looking for, but they did get better on the defense 133 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: on that defensive line well, especially too with Bruce Irvin's 134 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: he's kind of the jack of all trades. He can 135 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: well have him listened at Sam so he can do 136 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: that in the lineback and stuff, and he's gonna be 137 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: a big part of the pass rush. He's been in 138 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: the system, he's been around Pete, he's been around the 139 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: guy So I think those guys and it's all kind 140 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: of by committee, right, because if you look at the 141 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: defensive line, I would look for L. J. Collier to 142 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: step up big this year, right, I would look for 143 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Rashie Green to take another step poona Ford. He's shown 144 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: some flashes. So I think it's gonna be by committee. 145 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: We kind of get all hung up on the numbers. 146 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Is so and so we can get ten and so 147 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: and so we can get twelve? Where those big time 148 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: numbers is gonna come from? Since we lost like Frank Clark. 149 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna get it done by committee. 150 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: And we already talked about the secondary a little bit. 151 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: I think having a stronger secondary is gonna help that 152 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: whole unit. Yep, I agree. And here's a perfect example 153 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: about why a village the village approach works. Name one 154 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: guy on the Panthers defensive line, Julius Peppers ain't playing 155 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: there no more. Right, Okay, that's some last one I 156 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: can remember. No disrespect to the Panthers, but they had 157 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: over fifty sacks and nobody knows who's on their D line. Yeah, 158 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: that's the approach that these Seahawks have to take. No 159 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: One knows this is all good, but by week eight nine, 160 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: make some noise and have them talking about you. All right, 161 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: So now let's talk about the key departures. Justin Britt 162 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: is out of here. They cut him after his injury, 163 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: but he was lingering around. He was living in Belvy, 164 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: who was working out. People thought that he might show 165 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: up again. George Stannis gone, Jamaa Fettie, Bradley McDougall was 166 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: involved with the trade for Jamal Adams. Quentin Jefferson is gone, 167 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: and sorry to see him go, But I'm just glad 168 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: that it's over because I was tired of hearing about it. 169 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: Jadeveon clown out of those guys, obviously, we're gonna miss 170 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Clowney the most, just because of the things that he 171 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: did that people didn't really recognize because it didn't show 172 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: up on a stat sheet. Who else are you gonna 173 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: miss out of that group? Well, I mean all those 174 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: were good locker room dudes. For sure. I think I'm 175 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: gonna miss out of that group. We missed Justin Britt 176 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: and George fan. I think Justin Britt when he first 177 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: came to the Seahawks, he's playing tackohol and then he 178 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: moved to guard, but he really kind of found himself 179 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: at center, and he kind of stepped up when the 180 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: young offensive line kind of needed a leader. Now he 181 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: got Dwayne Brown in there. Now he got you Potty, 182 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: You got some other veterans. But I just kind of 183 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: like the way he carried himself and he turned himself 184 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: into a Pro Bowl type player. And then George Fantman, 185 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss hearing number seventy four is eligible. Number 186 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: seventy four is eligible. I'm gonna miss hearing that man. 187 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: He just did so much good stuff for us, and 188 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: I loved having that package that we had with him 189 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: where he'd come in as an extra tight end all 190 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: that stuff. So those are two guys I'm gonna miss 191 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: for sure. But like I said, I think now with 192 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: the offensive line that we got and the guys who 193 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: got in place, I feel kind of dead about how 194 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: we're doing. Out of those guys, I'm gonna miss McDougal 195 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: the most. I just there was like a calming presence 196 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: about McDougal in the back. He wasn't going to light 197 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: it up, but he was going to make the tackle. 198 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: He wasn't going to cause a lot of turnovers, but 199 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: he was going to be around the ball. He was 200 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: like one of those constants on that back end that 201 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: kind of gets lost in the mix because he's not 202 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: gonna wild you with a super athletic player anything like that. 203 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: But he was one of the most veteran back there, 204 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: one of the most confident. It just a calming presence. 205 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna miss that, dude. MacDougal, So season preview, all, 206 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: I what can we expect from the Hawks in twenty twenty? 207 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: This is what I expect, and I'll let you dive 208 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: into it. I expect this offense to take another level 209 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: because Russell's going to take another level. He's never got 210 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: an MVP vote, He's never finished the season with a 211 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: seventy seventy percent completion rate or better. So I think 212 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: he's chasing something. He always finds something to chase, right, 213 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: So I think he knows that, and I think he 214 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: is going to chase that. And because he's chasing that, 215 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: this team is going to get better offensively, amongst a 216 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: bunch of other things. I think about the Sea twenty twenty. 217 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Well, I am right there with you, man. 218 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: I think I think if any year. This is year 219 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson can get that MVP. Man. I mean, through 220 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: about ten games last year, he was the clear candidate. 221 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: And then it's hard to account for Lamar Jackson having 222 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: the unbelievable season he had last year. So I can't 223 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: take anything away from that man. But our guy Arrist 224 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: we know at number three can do so I'm right 225 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: there with you. I think for me, our offense was 226 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: the strength the team last year, right, we had a 227 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: great running game. Obviously Number three was amazing last year. 228 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I think our defense returns to the level that we're 229 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: accustomed of seeing it. Right. So I'm not saying legendary 230 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, you know, LB Super Bowl champion, per se, 231 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: but I'm saying they have the guys now that can 232 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: get there. We mentioned a little bit ago the secondary 233 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: billing built from the back forward man between our safeties 234 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: to that tannem Is vessinally Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams. Then 235 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: you got you got some lockdown corps on the outside. 236 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: Jaquille Griffin is gonna take another step I look forward 237 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: and be more of a He's gonna be a Pro 238 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: Bowl guy. This year's just straight up. Then Llyflowers and 239 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: Quentin Dunbar. Then you go to linebacking corps. We know 240 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: what we got from Bobby in kJ and then young 241 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: guys stepping up front. So I think this defense isn't 242 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: gonna get too level. They're gonna climb back inside the 243 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: top ten and all those defensive categories back inside the 244 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: top ten. That will be awesome. When you have on 245 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: offense that at some point one point in the season 246 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: was a top five offensive, you can get a defense 247 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: that's top ten as well. That'd be awesome. The twenty 248 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: eighth last year, so they got a lot of a lot, 249 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: a lot of room to make up, but I think 250 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: they can do it all. Right. Where did the Seahawks 251 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: improve the most from last year? The most? Um, I mean, 252 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: I was just I mean, I feel like I keep 253 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: beating the drum. But it's it's defensively, It's it's in 254 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: the secondary. Man. I think they're just gonna cause havoc 255 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: in there. The thing that made the Seahawks really good 256 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: from two and twelve to twenty sixteen was their ability 257 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: to take the ball away, and I think that's coming back. Yep. 258 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: If that's where they improved the most, I would say 259 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: second behind that would be that offensive line. People are 260 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: excited in this organization about this offensive line. On the 261 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: left side. You got Brown, you got you potty post 262 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: against one of the center spot. You got Damian Lewis 263 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: as a rookie who's in there turning heads. You hear 264 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: um Dwayne Brown talk about how he's smart. You can 265 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: tell he's studied. And then you bring in Shell at 266 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: that tackle spot. Shell is not a sexy name where 267 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, he's so much better than the fetty. 268 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: But let me remind people that he had half the 269 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: abilities that Effetti had, and Effetti played every game. He 270 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: was reliable, he was there, but every now and then 271 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: you stretch your head and be like, all right, what 272 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: was he thinking. You got to control that that aggression 273 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: and put it somewhere. So, uh yeah, I would say 274 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: that offensive line comes after that. So it was different 275 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: during training camp this year. Um, we weren't able to 276 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: be there the way we wanted. Two guys like you 277 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: who has that Tier three, Tier two Okay, I'm sorry 278 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: Tier two you got some more access than us, But 279 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: explain to us how how was this camp different than 280 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: other years. Well, obviously the number one thing is not 281 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: seen that twelves out on the burn, man, I mean, 282 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks training camp is a different experience in anywhere else 283 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: in the country. You're right there on Lake Washington. It's beautiful, 284 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: the sun still out. You got about three thousand fans 285 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: on that burn, screaming, yelling, waiting for autographs, DJ, Super Sam, 286 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So that was definitely the biggest thing 287 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: for me you noticed right away, which is kind of 288 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: a different vibe. And then just all the protocols and 289 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: stuff that their players had to do. Man, they had 290 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: to they gotta wear contact tracing chips, they gotta they 291 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: had to change how they lifted, they had a change 292 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: how they did all this stuff. That had a changed 293 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: how they met in meetings and stuff like that. But 294 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: they did all the right things. And as Pete aways 295 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: sucks about, you competed everything. They competed in how the 296 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: best they're going to handle this pandemic. So it was 297 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: a weird time. And then obviously the last thing is 298 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: no preseason games. M And you can speak to this man, 299 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: it's it's it's so difficult for the coaching staff and 300 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: the players. But could you I mean, where would you 301 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: have been if there's no preseason. If there's no preseason, nass, 302 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: I'm not here talking to you right now. I don't 303 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: make this football team. You know, you asked me as 304 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: a thirty four year old man, a guy who could 305 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: be real with himself, like okay, like you were good, 306 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: but you weren't like superstar good. And if you didn't 307 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: have that preseason, you wouldn't even have a chance to 308 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: show that you can catch punts or that you can 309 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: go across the middle and catch the football. So it's 310 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: stuff on those rookies. That's why no undrafted free agents 311 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: were signed, because they just don't know what they can do. 312 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: Are they're gonna roll the dice on these guys, And 313 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: that right there just shows how hard the evaluation process 314 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: was on these guys because guarantee they missed on somebody. 315 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: And to you, other organizations missed on guys because they're 316 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: scared to roll the dice on something they haven't seen 317 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: in live play. So yeah, that was rough on those rookies. 318 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: I feel for them. Those those veterans who are on 319 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: the bubble are loving it. I'm sure though they're loving like, 320 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: hey man, I don't have this twenty four year old 321 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: trying to take my spot because I got three four 322 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: years of film. So yes, definitely tough. We any camp surprised, 323 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Does anybody jump out and say, Okay, I wasn't expecting 324 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: him the ball out, but here he is, and now 325 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: I know his name and I'm gonna follow us. Dude. 326 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: We we kind of talked about this earlier in camp, 327 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: and it's Penny hart Man. He was a surprise. He 328 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: wasn't initially part of the original fifty three. Hey, let 329 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: me tell the people. You called it NASA show. He 330 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: called it. I say, Nash, this is like beginning of camp. 331 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I go, Nash, anybody I should be looking after him? 332 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: He said, you know what, bump, Penny Heart's out there 333 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: doing this thing. So you were right. Continue, sir. I 334 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: appreciate that. I appreciate the little love love right there, 335 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But no, Penny hart Man 336 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: like he's a smaller guy. He's just a guy that 337 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: just makes place. I mean. And that's the thing I 338 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: think you when you look at the pro personnel and 339 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Josh Snyder and Pete Carroll, if you compete and you 340 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: show what you can do and you're given that chance, 341 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a spot. And he did it every 342 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: single day. It didn't matter if it was a team period, 343 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: didn't matter if they're going against the ones, didn't matter 344 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: if they're going against the twos. It didn't matter any situation. 345 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: Penny was out there. He was making plays, and I 346 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: look for him to be a guy you know that 347 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: just finds his way to help out the team because 348 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys, is a big team guy. 349 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: He's someone that all twelve should keep an eye on. 350 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: My guy, Penny Hard is going to be making plays, 351 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: so just keep him in the back of your mind. 352 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: This year, Penny Hard, I would say not a surprise 353 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: because he was drafted, but he was drafted lay Freddie Swain, 354 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: that was my guy. Or I was like, look, you 355 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: have to watch this dude. Now. He was hurt for 356 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: a couple of days during camp, but you hear about 357 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: how he can play any position, how he's a positive dude, 358 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: all the things that Pete Carroll looks for. How can 359 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: you contribute to the team. Now, he can contribute to 360 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: special teams. He can play every position, and what's your attitude? 361 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: Like Freddie Swayin was my guy. I wouldn't call it 362 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: a surprise, but being a what six stepth round pick, 363 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: sixth round pick. Um. He exceeded expectations. So offense Outlook 364 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: here here's a question. Will we let Russ cook this year? Well, 365 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: you know what, nass, dude's been cooking his whole life, 366 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: all right, and this is why he's been This is 367 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: why he's been cooking. Okay, first nine seasons and be 368 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: any quarterback and all the land that played in the NFL. 369 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: When it comes to wins, Russell Wilson is fourth with 370 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: eighty six, behind Tom Brady, Rothslisberger and Mannie. Now he's 371 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: only had eight seasons. He's got two more seasons to 372 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: beat that. Something tells me he's gonna pass him up 373 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: this year right now? Oh yeah. I mean the thing 374 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: about Russ's he's just been mister consistent from day one, man, 375 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: And everyone wants to talk about what are we doing? 376 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: And we're gonna let him cook and we're gonna throw 377 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: fifty toimes of game blah blah blah. The man has 378 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: been cooking since he stepped foot in this building and 379 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: on the football field since that third preseason game in 380 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: two thou twelve. The man has been cooking. Nah, but 381 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: he's not He's not throwing it forty fifty times though 382 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: he's not. He'sn't he hasn't he hasn't thrown over thirty 383 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: six touchdowns. Yet. I mean, I get people when they 384 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: the average football fan, to be like, all right, they're 385 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: not letting him do his thing. But he throws the 386 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: most efficient deep ball in the game. He over the 387 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: first nine seasons of any quarterback's career, he is one 388 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: to the fifth on the list. As far as touchdown passes, 389 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: he's still got one season ago. Most games will four 390 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: plus touchdown passes and one fewer intersections. In the first 391 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: nine seasons, he has ten paid Manning has thirteen. So 392 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: he has shown right now, if he were to retire, 393 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: something were to happen, he would be on a Hall 394 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: of Fame ballot. And he's been cooking since he's been here, 395 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: oh for sure. And I think we get soaked twisted 396 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: in some of those numbers, because you're right, it's not 397 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: it's not five hundred. There's not five thousand yards in this, 398 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: it's not forty five touchdown, it's not some of these numbers. 399 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: But you just gotta look at all of it, all 400 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: of it together. You look at his winning percentage. You 401 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: look at what he does in the fourth quarter. You 402 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: look at his come from behind wins, and he gets 403 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: it done when it counts. And and let me tell 404 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: you something, we're probably gonna touch on this a little bit. 405 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: Our receivers. Russ is going to continue to do him, 406 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: but numbers are going to be put up all across 407 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: the board. To promise you, everybody, all the twelve listening, 408 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: my boy has been cooking and he's gonna continue to cook, 409 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: continue to cook. So let's talk about these skill players. Okay, 410 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: he's got Chris Carson and Carlos Hide both rush for 411 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: a thousand yards last year. You got DK and lock 412 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: it DK nine hundred yards, lock it over a thousand. 413 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: That third receiver spot looks like it's gonna be David 414 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: Moore to start nil. The door says, gonna be in 415 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: the mix. Greg Olsen, you bring him in At that 416 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: tight end spot. You're getting Will Disley back, who was 417 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: one of the hottest tight ends in the league. He's 418 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: played in ten ten games, I believe you, six touchdowns, 419 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: ten games, six touchdowns, super efficient. Is this the most 420 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: skilled or the most talented skills he's had since he's 421 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: been here? You know, I thought about that a lot 422 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: and wrote that question down, and I'm leaning towards yes, 423 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: just because I think Dk metcalf is gonna have an 424 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: unbelievable sophomore season. I mean, you watched him out of practice, 425 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: the balls in the air. He's coming down with it, 426 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: Quayne Blank period. And I think you guys talked to 427 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: him on Danny and Gallant on seven ten ESPN, and 428 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: when he was on there, you asked him what you 429 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: asking me, asked him about being a receiver, and he 430 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: put me in He put me in my place. Hey Dk, 431 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Hey Dk, you play outside? You getting that slide? The 432 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: young man said, I'm a receiver. I said, thank you, sir, 433 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate you have a great day. And that's the 434 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: right answer. So I think he's going to be a monster. 435 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: We know what Tyler can. Tyler put up over a 436 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: thousand yards last year, and if that man didn't get hurt, 437 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: he was gonna I think he was gonna set the 438 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: record for receiving yards in a season and Seahawks history. 439 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: Then you talk about Chris Carson looking for his third 440 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: one thousand yards season, and obviously so people will say 441 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: you're geting ahead of yourself. Okay, let's took back at 442 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Obviously at mark un Lynch, you had Golden Tate, 443 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: you had Sidney Rice, you had Zach Miller, you had 444 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse, Stuck Baldwin. I'm not saying the group right 445 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: now is for sure better than those guys because their 446 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: banners are hanging in centralink Field and here at the vMac. Ye. 447 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: But what I'm seeing on paper and what these guys 448 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: can do if we have we can have two thousand 449 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: yard receivers, a thousand yard rusher you talked about Will Disley, 450 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: I'll get our running games gonna be. I don't know, man, 451 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: I think it's definitely in the conversation to at least 452 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: consider this being the most talented group of offensive players 453 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: bump as of now. They are definitely in the conversation. 454 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: Whether whether they stay there or they are they conversation, 455 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: we shall see. That's why we played, That's why we 456 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: played the games. Play to win them all, right, play 457 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: to win so lots of movement on this offensive line. 458 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: They gave up what forty eight facts or something last year. 459 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Russ has been the most stack quarterback in the last 460 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: two or three years they made some moves. There are 461 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: a couple of names that people aren't familiar with on 462 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: that offensive line. Does that matter? Do you think they 463 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: got better? I mean I think I think they got 464 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: a lot better. I think they got better at depthwise. Also, 465 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: so they brought him, We brought him b J. Finney 466 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: to compete for that center spot, and they definitely did. 467 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: But what was promising to me is what I saw 468 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: is and Pete talked about this, Ethan won the job. 469 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't like Fenny came in and lost it. Ethan 470 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: won the job and he's been in our system for 471 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: three years. He talked about how he was getting over 472 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: some he had an injury kind of like a hip 473 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: thing that really helped with his strength in some places 474 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: when it came to pass pro and things like that. 475 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: When he got surgery offseason. He's healthy, third year in 476 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: a system and being at center kind of helps that. 477 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: And then Damian lewis Man he came in and was 478 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: in the starting lineup from the jump, So like, I 479 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: think we got dudes there, and then you just look 480 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: at the guys that are behind them. Jordan Simmons when 481 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: he played last year was great. Jamarco Jones when he 482 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: came in last year was great. Um Cedric a boy. 483 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: He is a physical dude and he was on this 484 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: team for a reason. So like I think we're I 485 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: think we got better obviously, Dwayne Brown, I don't need 486 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: to say anything about that. Man. He's a baddest man 487 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: in planet with hands down. I just think we got better. 488 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: I think our depth looks really good. What do you 489 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: think about I'm with you. You got better depth? Is there? 490 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: You still got guys like Phil Haynes, who is banged 491 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: up right now, but there's still Jamarco Jones, Jordan Simmons. 492 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: I mean they're like you said, there's some names there 493 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: that hopefully we don't see because if we don't see him, 494 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: that means that this line is healthy. They're ready to go. 495 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: But if something were to happen, they're good to go. 496 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: All right. That's the offense defensive outlook. For the first 497 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: time in several years, the secondary might be the strongest 498 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: position group on the roster. How does that make you 499 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: feel that? Does this make you feel like Shop's not 500 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: gonna throw for four hundred yards against US Week one? 501 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: Because I can't see that again. Man, No, I don't 502 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: think you don't think you will ever see any quarterback 503 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: put up any of those kind of numbers ever. Again, 504 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: that is on the shelf, that is riped. I've been 505 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: beating this drum. I'm a dB at heart, so you 506 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: know it warms my heart. Man, I just just because 507 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: they have that energy and that thump too. Everyone to 508 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: say near can hit. So like, I think it's gonna 509 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: change what we were able to do as a defense 510 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: man when we're bringing pressures and stuff like that. When 511 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: you got guys can cover all across the board. So 512 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: it makes me feel great. Man. And the name we 513 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: haven't mentioned Marque's Blair. He stepped into that nickel spot. Honestly, 514 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: I thought Ugomadi it was his spot to lose, but 515 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: from from start to camp, it's kind of been Marquis's 516 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: Blair spot to lose, and he's held onto it a 517 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: spot he's never played before and never played nickel. He's 518 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: a he's the truth safety. Um you hear. His cover 519 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: skills are good. He's flying around to the football, he 520 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: looks like he's been there. Adding him to that nickel 521 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: spot will naturally allow this defense to be more dynamic 522 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: because we know how much they stayed in that base 523 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: last year, and he's not gonna say it, but it 524 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: was because they just didn't trust their personnel. I think 525 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: Marquis Blair adds the dynamic to this defense as well. Well, yeah, 526 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe I don't even mentioned that. No, that's 527 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: a great point, Bump. I think Marquise in that spot 528 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: definitely just changes us dynamically because you look at a 529 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: guy that he was a safety, he'd come up there 530 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: and hit you. I mean, you remember that that season 531 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: game last year playing the Broncos. The ball over the 532 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: middle and Marquis Blair, good night. I mean, the dude 533 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: can and he made plays last time. I think we're 534 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, he forced a fumble. He's just he's a dynamic, 535 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: special dude, and I think our secondary with him is 536 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: gonna be un phenomenal for sure. Yeah, sir, Now you 537 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: mentioned you need Jaron Reid to look like twenty eighteen 538 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: jarn Reid if that's the case, to get ten sacks. 539 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: So now me, I'm still calling LJ. Colly or rookie. 540 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: He's only got one hundred and fifty snaps. Yes, is 541 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: this his second year in the league, But he got 542 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: banged up during camp, Like his third day at camp, 543 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: missed a lot of stuff, so he was behind only 544 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty snaps. This dude needs to step up, 545 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: and it sounds like his mind is in the right play. 546 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm listening to him talk and he just sounds confident, 547 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: and yes, he has to go out and prove it, 548 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: but I at least want to feel confidence coming from 549 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: a guy who was a first round pick. With their 550 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: expectations for LJ, I think LJ is gonna First of all, 551 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: I think people kind of forget how hard it was 552 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: for him last year. I mean it was like the 553 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: third practice when he had a really bad ankle sprain 554 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: and was down, and you miss your first NFL training camp, 555 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: you don't play in training camp at all, you don't 556 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: get in the preseason and do any of that stuff. 557 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: For him to come on, you're just behind the eight 558 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: ball from the jump. So I think, having you mentioned earlier, 559 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: no OTAs, I get it, no mini camp, no preseason games. 560 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: With the fact that he's been here and he came 561 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: back in unbelievable shape, I'm looking for him to make 562 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: a lot of headway this year. I'm looking for him 563 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: to get be active inside and out, get some sacks, 564 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna be a part of a rotation. 565 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna ask him to play, you know, 566 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: ninety percent of the snaps. I think it's gonna be 567 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: by committee. But I do look for him to have 568 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 1: a breakout year in year two. All Right, Falcon's preview. 569 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: These guys were seven to nine last year. They finished 570 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: third place in the NFC South. The thing about the 571 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: Falcons that kind of scared me. You look at that record, 572 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: but these dudes were six and two their last eight games, 573 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: Like they got hot. They started one to seven, finished 574 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: sixth and two, almost came back and beat the Hots. 575 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: I think the Hawks are up twenty twenty to zero, 576 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: twenty four to zero, a half that came back, finished 577 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: the game twenty seven twenty four, something like that. But 578 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: they got hot late in the season. So I see 579 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: the record, and I don't really pay attention to it. 580 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: I look at what I've seen on film. These guys 581 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: look dangerous. Key matchups Shaquille Griffin, Trey Flowers, Quinn Dunbar 582 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: versus Julio Jones. Ninety nine receptions, thirteen hundred yards, six touchdowns. 583 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: The guy can catch a screen, he can catch a 584 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: go a post, go across the middle. And I say 585 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: this lightly, this is what I hope DK can be. 586 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching film on this dude, and they move kind 587 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: of the same. I would say Julio is a little 588 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: more flexible than than DK, but they'll do some things. 589 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: I look at that stride, I look at the way 590 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: they run across the middle mic and are we looking 591 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: at what DK can be? But Julio is a guy 592 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: you gotta pay attention to, right, Oh, without question? I 593 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: mean I think it's pretty it's pretty a consensus I 594 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: think across the league that Julio is the number one receiver. 595 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: I think the next I mean, I shouldn't take an 596 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: sence he's at least one or two. Right, Hopkins is 597 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: maybe in there, but like he Yeah, we know what 598 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: he can do. He's literally everything on their team. And 599 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: I should to put this in the matchups as well, 600 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: not only Julio, but can't Calvin Ridley. He had sixty 601 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: three receptions, added eight hundred and sixty six yards and 602 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: seven touds. So those dudes with Matt Ryan, that's that's 603 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: what they're gonna if we're gonna win this game. It's 604 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: stopping those guys. It's our secondary matching up. And hey, 605 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: you don't get an easy slouch week one. You're going 606 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: from the jump. Oh no, you're gonna get tested. This 607 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: was the third number three passing team in the NFL 608 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: last year, number five in total yards, so you're gonna 609 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: get tested early, especially throwing the football. Now, the other 610 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: side of this thing is their run game. Their run 611 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: game was horrible last year. They're the third to last 612 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL, average about eighty five yards a game. 613 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: The vouch of Freeman was there. They had to make 614 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: a move, and what do they do. They go and 615 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: get Todd Gurley, a guy who had an off year, 616 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: probably has some the issues. We're not quite clear on that. 617 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: We think it was, but they're not really talking too 618 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: much about it. Eight hundred and fifty seven yards last year, 619 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns. That's surprised, man. I didn't realize the dude 620 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: had twelve touchdowns last year. It was sneaky. What about 621 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: this guy is going to make this team special? Well, 622 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean they didn't have like you've mentioned, they didn't 623 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: have a run game last year. And in my opinion, 624 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is still extremely talented. It is still one 625 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: of the premier running backs in this league. I mean 626 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: outside of his rushing yards, he had thirty one catches 627 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: two hundred seven yards to ts in the past game. 628 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: And if you look at the Rams twenty seventeen and 629 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, what that man can do. I mean, he's scary, 630 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands, He's scared in the 631 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: open field. He's a matchup nightmare. You get him in 632 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: the past game in the red zone, it is tough. 633 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: I think he is still elite. Like you mentioned, we 634 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: don't really know about Tania. I think that played a role, 635 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: a factor in his time with the Rams. And why 636 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: we didn't see him there, I don't really know. But 637 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: if that man is healthy, he is a matchup. He's 638 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna be matchup nightmare. He hard on our linebackers. He 639 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: can be hard on Bruce kJ Bobby Brooks, Barton, whoever's 640 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: out there. So if he if he's healthy, he is 641 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: still one of the best backs in the league. Yeah, 642 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: and no, no disrespect to DeVonta Freema. I mean he 643 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: had a decent year. Six some of yards are rushing 644 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: four hundred yards, receiving over a thousand total of yards. 645 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: But he's not the back that this team needs because 646 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: they are a play action team. They're kind of like 647 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks when you look at him. They love some 648 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: play action pass. And if you're not going to be 649 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: able to run the ball in between the tackles and 650 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: suckle those linebackers, the plays in pass because that's that 651 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: much tough. Okay, so now now you gotta do what 652 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler first, Dwayne Brown and Brandon Shell. Dante, this 653 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: dude wasn't a Pro bowler last year. Eleven and a 654 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: half sacks and he did not get to the Pro Bowl. 655 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: Actually came from the LA RAM Like, what is it 656 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: and what do you see in this guy? Well? I 657 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: just see a motor man. I just see a guy 658 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: that does not stop and he's he's good with his hands, 659 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: he's quick, he comes after, he comes hard off the edge. 660 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean the guy had some forced fumbles. He six 661 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: passes defendant, so he's getting his arms up. He fifty 662 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: eight tackles and what touchdown? Eleven sacks? Bump, he he 663 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: goes to Pro Bowl? No Pro Bowl? I mean that's criminal, 664 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: that's criminal. But no, I mean, obviously Dwayne Brown is 665 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: as best as they come. And Brandon Chell step in 666 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: a position where he was incredibly consistent with the Jets 667 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: last year. Doesn't that get penalties? Uh? Peat and John 668 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: and everyone loved what he did with the Jets. But 669 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big thing. That's a that's a 670 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: dynamic pass rusher right there, one of the best in 671 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: the league, and they're gonna have their handsful from the jump. Yeah, 672 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: that was the guy I was hoping the Hawks were 673 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: looking at this offseason. I'm sure they did their research, 674 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: but just didn't pull the trigger. Another guy they need 675 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: to watch out for is Grady Jared seven a half 676 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: sacked and he went to the Pro ball so you know, numbers, 677 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: numbers are kind of skewed. I guess when you look 678 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: at the two but keadle baller, he's a guy that 679 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: needs to needs to be They need to pay attention 680 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: to this young man. Yeah, I think. And that's that's 681 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: the thing you mentioned earlier. We're talking about the offensive 682 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: line and it's keeping Russell Wilson up right. He's been 683 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: sacked too many times the last couple of years and 684 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: we just need to keep people off our potential hopefully 685 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: MVP quarterback and it's gonna start by checking the edges 686 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: with Fowler. All right, another matchup DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, 687 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: and I want to say in the rest of the 688 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: gang and the rest of the game, because they're deep 689 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: at that receiver spot versus the kid at a Clemson 690 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: A J. Perrell. This guy is a special type of dB. 691 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: All's around the football, he plays with he plays with 692 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: an SEC swag. But he's in the acc you know, 693 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: he's coached by by Debom. Anybody coming out of Clemson 694 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: in the first round you gotta pay attention to, and 695 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna He's gonna get tested early. Now, it's a 696 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: matchup we gotta pay attention to. But Dk've been here 697 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: a lot. It's been here. He's the new guy on 698 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: the block, and I hope they go after him. You 699 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: gotta test them early, right, Oh, absolutely. And when you 700 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: have a quarterback who throws, without question, the best deep 701 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: ball in the NFL, I look for that early. I 702 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: look for an early play. Actually, didn't get your feet 703 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: wet and attack him early. I mean, you're you're a 704 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: rookie coming into your first game. There's no fans in 705 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: the stands. It's just a weird kind of environment. You're 706 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. You haven't had any preseason, 707 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: You've had a couple of mount games. It's not the 708 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: same thing. So yeah, i'd look for a shott he 709 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: those guys to test them early, test them early, and 710 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: test them often. All right, So now the path to victory? 711 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: What do these guys need to do to be successful 712 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: in the ATL on Sunday? The first one to shake 713 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: off the rust? Right, it's been a long time since 714 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: anyone who's played a real football games. You gotta shake 715 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: off the rust and you got to stimulate yourself because 716 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: there is no crowd, right, there is there is no 717 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: one you can bounce energy off of. It. It's you 718 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: and your boys going to atl to get a job done. 719 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. And it's and I think that's 720 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: that's that's number one. It's like, where do you bring 721 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: your energy from? We know these are professionals, we know 722 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: these are grown men. And if you're talking to Dave Wyman, 723 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: he will tell you no one comes out flat. They're 724 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: all professional blah blah blah. Ye. I'll pay to do 725 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: a job. But this is unpresidented man, this is something 726 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: that has never been done before, So it's about who 727 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: can bring the energy from the jump and it's within 728 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: you know. You know, the atmosphere is kind of gonna 729 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: be like jav football on a Wednesday. I mean, it's like, Yep, 730 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: your boys are hyped, but it's just y'all. You know. 731 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: You might have you might have fifteen people in the 732 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: stands here in every comment or anything that goes on, 733 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: But this is JAV football atmosphere with NFL dudes out there, 734 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: So that's gonna be interesting. Another path of victory is tackle. 735 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: Other than the mob games, this is the first time 736 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to wrap those up and take 737 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: them to the ground and not worry about their health 738 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: or their well being. They're gonna be able to let 739 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: loose and because of that, there are gonna be mistakes. 740 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: I would expect to see mistackles. I would expect to 741 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: see a little bit of sloppy play in the beginning, 742 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I think they'll 743 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: home back in and figure out how to do this 744 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: football thing. They've done their whole lives. Yeah, And I 745 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: think it's really helpful for the Seahawks, especially that they 746 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: don't really tackle that much in practice. Anyway. To begin 747 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: with the way they do it, they usually thud tempo. 748 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: They only really had one live portion of the second 749 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: mod game where the starting defense is actually tackling the ground. 750 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm not as worried about them. What I am concerned 751 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: about a special team's bump when you haven't had a 752 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: live rap running down on kickoff, your assignment on kick return. 753 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 1: The ones that really kind of scare you too are 754 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: pat and field goal and then play because those are 755 00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: big players. You get a block, kid, can you get? 756 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: That changes the game. So seeing how they come out 757 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: on special teams. But I know Brian Snider's gonna have 758 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: those boys ready. Great point. They have not done live 759 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: reps on special teams. I think the one that scares 760 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: me the most is kickoff returns because on the kick 761 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: cover team, it's all about your lanes. Stay in your lanes. 762 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: Stay in your lanes. You're gonna that's like the biggest 763 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: coaching point of all kickcover teams. Stay in your lane, 764 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have some rookies out there. You're gonna 765 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: have some some bubble guys, guys who are who barely 766 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: made the team, so they might not be as experienced. 767 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: But you know what. That's why you do drills, and 768 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: that's why you show up every day. So hopefully it 769 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: translates another path of victory. Contained Julio. Dude had ten 770 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: catches one hundred fifty four yards last time these two 771 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: guys together. You know, I'm okay with one hundred, just 772 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: not one hundred and fifty four. Julio is gonna eat right. 773 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: It's Julio, Like you said, he's number one and number 774 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: two best receiver in the league. You gotta contain him. 775 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: It's containing him. What is containing him to you? What 776 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: does that mean? I mean containing him. He can't go 777 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: off for twelve for one eighty and two toads or 778 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: two hundred. I think he's gonna if he gets six, 779 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: seven receptions eighty nine yards, you know, and maybe it's 780 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: just one big play. Obviously you don't want to have 781 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: any explosives. But you keep him under a hundred or 782 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: even right around one hundred, no more than one touchdown. 783 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: I think you've done your job. Yeah, I agree, I agree, Yeah, 784 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's Julio. Let's just be he's gonna 785 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: get hit. Another path to victory. Let Jamal Adams be great, 786 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: use him all over the field. And I love that idea. 787 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: The guy had was six and a half sack last year, 788 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: six and a half sack. He's good in his own 789 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: he's good in the box. You just got this brand 790 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: new piece of equipment, all right, don't be shy, don't 791 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: be scared to get a dirty It wants to get dirty. 792 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: It wants to be used. Let the dog off the 793 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: leash and let him eat. Let's go, man, I'm so excited. 794 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: That's my number one thing that I'm most looking forward 795 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: to on Sunday's watching him run wild all over the field. 796 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: And the best thing about Jamal Adams is there will 797 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: be no confused using as to who made the play 798 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: if it's him. I promise you you will feel that 799 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: in your living room, promise you. So you're saying he's 800 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna let everybody now, he gonna let them know. Buff, 801 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. I'm all here for it. Doug. 802 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 1: Let's go another pack of victory. Run the ball, convert 803 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,919 Speaker 1: on third down. Now we all know that they're gonna 804 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: run the ball, right, you gotta that's that's what that's 805 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: what this team is built to do, at least initially, 806 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: is to run the football, and you have to when 807 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: you got Chris Carson, Carlos High, and let's not forget 808 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: DJ have. I don't think we've mentioned DJ enough during 809 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: this this whole deal. I don't think you've missed them 810 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: at all. But this is a rookie who's getting rest 811 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: with the one who was a receiver at the University 812 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: of Miami. So I expect him to be using the 813 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: screen games and swings and all that stuff. You have 814 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: to run the football because you get your two dogs 815 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: back there and Carlos High and Chris Carson, but you 816 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 1: also have a DJ Dallas. Well. I feel like they're 817 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: gonna try to get at least one or two touches earlier. Yeah, 818 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: you want to get the rookie get his feet wet 819 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL and get going. And as Roberts would 820 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 1: always say, tell us on the pregame say all the time, 821 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: is he want to start running the ball because it 822 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: gets the offensive line ready to go. You want to 823 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: be the aggressor, you want to come out, You want 824 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: to go hit somebody. You want Dayne Brown to hit somebody. 825 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 1: You want these guys to fire off and hit somebody. 826 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: You start running the ball, it helps open up the 827 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: play action and then it helps us convert on third 828 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: down for sure. All right, told us you hurt that 829 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 1: we must run the ball to open up to let 830 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: him cook. You don't just cook, right, You gotta preppy. 831 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: You gotta cut your your vegetables. You on me, you 832 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: gotta marinate the meat. You don't just go out the lass. 833 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: Will not least beat the team you're supposed to beat. 834 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 1: They're supposed to beat these guys, right, absolutely, I mean 835 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: it's the Seahawks are a team that I think has deep, 836 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: deep playoff aspirations, if not the big Game. So this 837 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: is a game where you have to come out on 838 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: the road and show the league and show everyone what 839 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: you're about, and start from week one. So they're supposed 840 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: to win, even though they've only won one game on 841 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: the road home opener under Peak Carroll time difference doesn't matter. 842 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm play Devil's advocate. I got I gotta throw of that. 843 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: Just a one went on the road under Pete home 844 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: opener time different that we're seven and one on the 845 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: role last year. But even with all that, no crowd 846 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 1: sildas are going to be different, protocols are different. There's 847 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: still there's no doubt they're supposed to win this ball game. 848 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: I said what I said, Bump, I said what I said. No, 849 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,240 Speaker 1: I honestly, I think I think they should be favored. 850 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: I think for good reason. We're coming off. We're a 851 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: playoff team. They were seven to nine last year. They 852 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: got the tools, they got the talent. Our defense is 853 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: so much improved, and hey we got number three man. 854 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: Let's get it done. Get her done, Get her done. 855 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: Number three and number boys are going down to the 856 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: atl this Sunday. It is a ten am start. To 857 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: make sure you wake up early, you get your lineup 858 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: set up for fantasy, you get your favorite seat, and 859 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: enjoyed it because we almost didn't have this season. It 860 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: looked like for a minute this wasn't going to happen. 861 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: So every game, every snap, don't take it for granted. 862 00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: Live it up, love it.
