1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: This is the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Jake Keeps, and

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Stacy Ross getting you guys ready with a two hour

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: preview of Seattle's Week three matchup on the road against

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota Vikings currently winless, but they have

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: lost both of their games by four points combined, so

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: it'll still be a tough matchup and we'll dive into

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. But first a very very

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: quick and I promise this will be quick look back

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: at Seattle's Week two loss to the Tennessee Titans. That

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: one was at home. Fans were returning to Luminfield for

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the first time since twenty nineteen. They saw some good stuff,

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: especially in the first half, carrying a twenty four to

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: nine lead into the third quarter. Unfortunately, it all fell

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: apart and there is plenty of blame to go around.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Let's talk about maybe one of the core of those issues, Dave,

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: I heard plenty of people talking about, specifically the run

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Couldn't establish it consistently to

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: sustain drives on offense and couldn't stop it on defense.

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: Is that one of your core issues when you look

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: back at this loss. Yeah, I think it's that. I

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: also think that this is a very good team they

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: lost to Nobody wants to hear that. Here's what I

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: would say about it. The teams that went in the NFL,

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: they're the ones that do right the longest. Okay, And

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: I've been said that on our show yesterday that and

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that's what they did. They just stuck with the run

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: because early on Henry was you know, they were stuffing

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: in pretty good. And then they just kept testing the

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: defense and they did it very methodically of you know,

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: play action pass. Okay, if you're not going to drop

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: underneath that, if the linebacker is gonna suck up and

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna hit that little nineteen yard post

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: route to Julio Jones. When your linebacker did drop, then

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: you know it didn't work for him. But you just

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: had to do it over and over and over again.

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: They were just going to keep testing you and testing

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: you and running the ball. Thirty five carries for Derrick

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Henry and they finally just wore down. So yeah, it

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: was you know, I don't know what happened with the gaps.

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw they got caught a couple of times.

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: The one long run that he ran for a touchdown.

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: You know, I thought that was on everybody. I mean, look,

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about that because Jamal Adams

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: was the one that drew the most arrows from Pete

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: and Bobby in that. But is that something where because

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that egregious. You know, there

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: was a little bit of space there, and I know

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: that his gap integrity is is there. He's trying to

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: make a make a play in there. Is that something

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: where it wouldn't have been as big of a deal

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: if he had told Trey beforehand, like, hey, I'm going

52
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: to knife inside and you know you need to fill

53
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: in there. Well, did you think that was his gap?

54
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Because I mean, to me, I thought that was his gap. Yeah.

55
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: But the thing is you can play your gap, but

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: you can't get washed down, okay. And you know that's

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: where I thought it was on everybody. The entire defense

58
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: just got and so now Trey Flowers he's the cutback guy,

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: right right. Well, it's it's easier, too easier to make

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: a cutback block when it's like there's like two or

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: three yards of space. There was like twelve yards there,

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, so you know everybody was got washed down,

63
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought that was bad. And then also,

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, the other thing is there's a difference how

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: you play a block when it's pass versus run, and

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: when it's run, you got to be a little bit

67
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: more stout and stay in your in your gap and

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: not get washed down. You know, if you're on a

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: pass rush, yeah you can just fly around the edge

70
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: and not really care about the space and everything. You're

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: just trying to get to the quarterback. And he kind

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: of broke, you know, broke underneath that tackle like that,

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: like it was a pass rush, and you know, and

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if that was a play action

75
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: pass or not, or I mean, did he was it

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: a kind of a delayed handoff or whatever. But you know,

77
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: I felt like the whole defense was pretty much in

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: on that one. But of course, you know, the last

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: guy that's left is Trey Flowers and looks bad. You know,

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: same thing with quandary digs. I think a lot of

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: times the mistackles are because people are trying to strip

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the ball out and that's a big emphasis these days.

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was just those are the kinds of

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: things and it just to me, it was more about

85
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: how Tennessee is a very well disciplined, very well team

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: that just continually hammered away at you, and they you know,

87
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: eventually they broke open and outcomes what five hundred and

88
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: some yards one hundred and eighty two yards rushing for

89
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. So yeah, it was it was a tough

90
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: test for them that you know, now everybody's going to

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: look at it and say, hey, look, if you're you know,

92
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: you look at this team coming in here in Minnesota.

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I was looking. I was watching h Dalvin Cook and

94
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: by the way, never mind if he doesn't run for

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: any yards, because they can just bring in Alexander Madison

96
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: and he can go get a career high like he

97
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: did last year. I was gonna say, he's the one

98
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: that racked up like one hundred yards and twelve quarter

99
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: a loan or twelve yards. Yeah, after Dalvin Cook went down.

100
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: So it's a good group. Yeah, it is a good group.

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: But I was looking at the Arizona game. Here are

102
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cooks run sixteen fifteen, fourteen, twelve, ten, nine nine seven.

103
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean this guy, I mean he averaged like six

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: yards of carry and I only three yards against the Bengals.

105
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean it's gonna it's going to be

106
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: another tough test in the run game there because this

107
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: offensive line or just blowing huge holes in that Arizona defense,

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: and so yeah, it's that was disappointing to see. I mean, look,

109
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go toe to toe with really

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: physical teams that are going to come in here like

111
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee and try to try to punch you in the mouth.

112
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: Big story heading out of the game. Also, the Seahawks

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: had possession for just twenty two minutes and forty two

114
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: seconds total, the Titans dominating that in the second half,

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: the offense didn't get inside of Tennessee's twenty yard line,

116
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: with the exception of obviously that one sixty eight yard

117
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: bomb to Fredy Swayne. I'm not counting it. It It wasn't

118
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,119
Speaker 1: a red zone touchdown, and they didn't take that drive

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: deep into the red zone because that ended up being

120
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: a score on that play. So what happened to the

121
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: offense in the second half, I know that we're we've

122
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: been talking about. Chris Carson only got thirteen carries total

123
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: in the game. The tight ends weren't too involved. Pete

124
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: Carrol though asked about the tight end usage on Monday,

125
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: said that, look, it doesn't matter who gets the ball

126
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: if they're winning. The problem was to him that they

127
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: just scored very quickly and never got a chance to

128
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: established that rhythm. What did you guys make of that?

129
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: You're never going to complain about points? Okay, so first

130
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: and foremost, you're never going to complain about points. But

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: the problem is is that when you when you are

132
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: so the margin of time of possession was so wide

133
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: and so vast, with the Titans having the time of

134
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: possession for over forty minutes and the Seahawks had time

135
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: of possession for twenty, that is never a positive thing.

136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: Could you win a game like that, Yeah, you can,

137
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily the advantageous situation that you want.

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: When it comes to playing complementary football. That means that

139
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: your defense is on the field for a very, very

140
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: long time. And the problem with that being is is

141
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: that you talk about the miscues and the mishaps that

142
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: happened in the second half. It doesn't excuse them away,

143
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: but you can explain a little bit of that. When

144
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are able to sustain these long drives

145
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks offense in the second half did not

146
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: do that. They kept their defense out on the field

147
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: for for far too long, and the Seahawks offense needed

148
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: to be able to establish some drives there. And if

149
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: they established some longer drives and convert uh some third downs,

150
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you might see a different outcome here. Yeah, you know,

151
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: it's funny. I looked at the drive before the half

152
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: was just genius, you know, because they're a minute or five, yeah,

153
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: and they're back on their own twenty five yard line,

154
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: so you think, hey, are they gonna They did have

155
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: two timeouts, I think, so, you know, they did have

156
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: some time to to see if it's gonna work. But

157
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: I just thought that was a beautiful drive and it

158
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of what they did in Indianapolis.

159
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: And yet they got away from that and like in

160
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the overtime possession, you know, two incomplete passes and then

161
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: a safety. I'm sorry that was a safety, uh you know,

162
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: but but look, you know where was that? You know? That?

163
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: To me, I felt like, I don't know if Russ

164
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: got maybe a little bit you know, obsessed with throwing

165
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: it down, but I saw it looked like Carson was

166
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: out in the flat, you know, a couple of times

167
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: there was a drag. I don't know. I just felt

168
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: like for the first time since the playoff game against

169
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the Rams, that Russ looks had that look in his

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: eye like he was confused and frustrated. So and I

171
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: don't know what he was expecting throwing the ball down,

172
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, those two possessions before that throwing it to DK.

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: But you know, there was none of what we saw

174
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: in that drive before the half, and there was none

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: of that what we saw in Indianapolis, where you know,

176
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: just kind of taking the checkdowns and being patient and

177
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: then never looking like he was flustered or anything like that.

178
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was kind of a shame. But I

179
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: go back to that drive. That was pretty sweet, you know,

180
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: and I mean I think they still have the ability

181
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: to do that and hopefully going forward. But you know,

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: just what did the ball travel four yards in the

183
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: air to Travis Homer? He gets eleven yards? Same thing

184
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: with DKA or I'm sorry, Tyler Lockett. You know, Rabel

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: calls him metlock now and so now I can't get

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: off of the names because it's nation of the two names.

187
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, just an eight yard you know, a little

188
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: out route to him and then twelve yards back to

189
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Freddie Swain and so yeah, it just looked like everything was,

190
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: you know, working in concert, and then all of a

191
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: sudden you get into the overtime period and it just

192
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: wasn't there. It didn't feel like two different offenses in

193
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: a weird way, Yeah, it did. And one of the

194
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: things that I had a frustration with was when it

195
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: comes to running the football, it is a premium to

196
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: be able to do that. It's a premium to be

197
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: able to establish the run. It is a premium, especially

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: in those situations when you're in four minute offense. I

199
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: mean they had the ball five minutes and I think

200
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: it was five minutes and forty seconds left to go

201
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: in the game. As a prime opportunity for your offense

202
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: to be in four minute mode and to be able

203
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: to try it to drain as much clock as possible,

204
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: to convert to get a couple first downs. Unfortunately you don't.

205
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, you have the fourth and one that doesn't

206
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to end up happening there

207
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: because Damian Lewis jumps off sides. But to me, that

208
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: was one of the other issues was not adjusting your

209
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: run game. I mean the big you know, twenty five

210
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: yard run that happened with Alex Collins. It came out

211
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: in spread yeah situation right, it spread runs. And so

212
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: if you're having a hard time and you're not being

213
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: as good in your twelve personnel run game, spread things out,

214
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: go to eleven personnel, spread out, see if you can

215
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: run it that way and try and change things up.

216
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: There's just some adjustments that did not happen there in

217
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: that second half that I would have personally loved to

218
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: have seen from this offense. We'll talk a bit more

219
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: about this. We'll also take a look ahead to the vikings.

220
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: That's the brake sign. Yeah, let's go to break. By

221
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: the way, this huddle is dedicated to Curtis Rogers, he said,

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: it is dedicated to thanks guys. Yeah, the world famous huddle.

223
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: To see if I just said to send out a

224
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: few late night texts last night and being like, hey, guys,

225
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: the huddles tomorrow. Well, because it's on a Wednesday and

226
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: not a Thursday, we do have a switching around of

227
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: schedules a little bit. Normally, for instance, you'd have Russell

228
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Wilson speaking on Thursday Pete Carroll talks on Wednesdays, and

229
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: that means you're going to hear from him today that

230
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: come in your way. Next, you are listening to the

231
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Huddle with Dave Wyman, Jake Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We

232
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: are getting you guys ready for the Seahawks Week three matchup.

233
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: This one's on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. The

234
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: Vikings are one of the winless teams in the NFL

235
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: at O and two, but they might just be the best.

236
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: They had a Week one loss to the Cincinnati Bengals

237
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven twenty four that went into overtime, and then

238
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: lost in a heartbreaker to the Cardinals last week thirty

239
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: four to thirty three, collectively four points across both of

240
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: those games. So they are going to be searching for

241
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: a win. And by the way, they're going to have

242
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: three consecutive home games starting with this matchup against Seattle.

243
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: When you look ahead to Tennessee, or excuse me, when

244
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: you look ahead to Minnesota for this Sunday, you guys,

245
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: it's hard not to look at all the weapons they

246
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: have on offense immediately, but that defense also loaded. Where

247
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: are your eyes immediately going with this roster? Yeah, to me,

248
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: it's looking at their run game. And then Kirk Cousins,

249
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, as far as completion percentage goes, he's kind

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: of the king man. I mean, he had the one

251
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: year where he had seventy percent. I think, is it

252
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: him and Drew Brees could have only only the only

253
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: two to have over seventy for a season. So the

254
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: one rap on Kirk Cousins. And you know, I'm not

255
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: sure how how prevalent it is, but it used to

256
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: be that he couldn't beat a winning team. And so

257
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: but you know, I think he's a good quarterback. Throws

258
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: for three hundred and fifteen yards per game, five touchdowns,

259
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: he was sacked four times. I don't think he has

260
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: an interception this year. And then you know he's got

261
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: a great run game behind him. So you know, like

262
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: I was saying, but you know, the weapons justin Jefferson

263
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: and his second year, he was a first round draft

264
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: choice and he got off to a really slow start.

265
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: I want to say he made the Pro Bowl by

266
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: the end of the year. He had he had good numbers,

267
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: and you know, in the very beginning they weren't using him.

268
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: And because I remember when we played him last year,

269
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: but um, yeah you got him. You got Adam Thielan,

270
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: who's the touchdown king, and you know, like I said,

271
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: a good backup in Alexander Madison. But kJ Osborne's the

272
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: guy that's that's leading the team making all the catches

273
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: right now. So yeah, they've got got a lot of

274
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: weapons there and a pretty good offensive line. Yeah. The

275
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: thing for me as I look at their defense, you

276
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: talk about trying to establish a run, it doesn't get

277
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: any easier versus this Minnesota defense. I know that they've

278
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: given up a lot of points. You look at the

279
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: Cardinals game list last week and they gave up a

280
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: bunch of cheap, easy touchdowns to Kyler Murray just in

281
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: some scrambled drill situations, total busted coverages. But outside of that,

282
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good group. They get de Neil Hunter back,

283
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: their best pass rusher from a year ago or from

284
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: two years ago. He had a significant injury that kept

285
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: him out all season long. Very very good player. He'll

286
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: be back on the edge. I don't know what Everson

287
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: Griffin situation is going to be. He was out with

288
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: the concussion last week. But the guys on the interior,

289
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: they got Michael Pierce they've got They added Dalvin Tomlinson

290
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: from the New York Giants of this you know of

291
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: this last year. Sheldon Richardson is another very good player.

292
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: So from the interior perspective, this is a pretty good

293
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: group that's gonna that's not gonna give you easy run situations.

294
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: They're not just gonna give it up to you. So

295
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: from from a total standpoint of this team, this is

296
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough battle that you have on your hand. Station. Well,

297
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: that's one of the weird things. Their defense kind of

298
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: like Seattle in that way. You've got a defensive minded

299
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: head coach and some stars who can be a lot

300
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: better than what you've seen on paper. So they've given

301
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: up twenty seven points to Cincinnati, thirty four points to Arizona.

302
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: But like you said, they've got Eric kendricks Man, he's phenomenal.

303
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: They added Patrick Peterson to the secondary to help them,

304
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: so they've got Patrick Peterson, Harrison Smith, Xavier Woods in

305
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: there as well. So I mean they've got a good

306
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: group collectively. I think this is going to be a

307
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: test on both sides of the ball the way that

308
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: I was initially, and this is obviously a mistake on

309
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: my part. The way that I was looking at the

310
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: Tennessee game was it was going to be the defense

311
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: versus Derrick Henry, and that it would be able to

312
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: be a shootout because that secondary with Tennessee is so poor.

313
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: And I the way that I miscalculated that was obviously

314
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: not expecting Seattle's offense to fall apart in the second half.

315
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: It was a shootout, but kind of for all the

316
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: wrong reasons because Seattle got kind of flat there. I

317
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: think with this one, I'm looking at it as a

318
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: battle on both sides of the ball for both Seattle's

319
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: offense and their defense. There are some unique matchups here.

320
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: There are there are a bunch of unique matchups when

321
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: it comes to this, and I'm going to interrupt you, sorry, Jabe.

322
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: We are going taking you guys right now to the

323
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: podium where Pete Carroll's speaking with reporters. Does the best

324
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: job this week getting ready and preparing and all of

325
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: that have best chance to win. So the practice is

326
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: really important this week and starts today. This the Vikings

327
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: has been very explosive on offense, been very efficient and

328
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: scoring and throwing the ball over the place and running

329
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: the ball well. So it's a very difficult challenge for

330
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: the defense, and Mike has always been hard, you know,

331
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: with what he does on defense for them, So it's

332
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup, their first home game, all that

333
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I am glad that we've we've been

334
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: on the road in a stadium similar you know, they're

335
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: different and unique in their own ways. But still I'm

336
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: glad that our guys have, you know, the Indie trip

337
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: help us in preparation for this week. So we'll try

338
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: to use that. When you say it offense is efficient,

339
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: what numbers very using comes in. Well, they're scoring points,

340
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's scoring points and they're and they're doing

341
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: it doing it well. Quarterbacks thrown, he's stowing seventy two

342
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: percent completion right now, five touchdowns, no picks. That's that's

343
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. You know him been sacked just a

344
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: few times, you know, So, Um, that's that's a big

345
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: part of it. The running game has been has been

346
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: solid as well. So I'm looking at the offense when

347
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying that, that's that's what I had in mind

348
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: about show. Here's about the Washington and now Minnesota's stands

349
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: out about him? Who did you say? Yeah, Um, he looks,

350
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: he looks terrific. He's throwing all of the throws, whether

351
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: it's the dropback stuff or the or the the action

352
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: stuff on the edge. Um, he uses the whole field. Um,

353
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: he uses all the rhythms. They're they're good in the

354
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: quick game, they're good downfield and their play passes and

355
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: he's got guys that he can go to that did

356
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: make things happen on the edge outside. So um, he's

357
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: looked really good and he's accurate, and his arm is

358
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: strong and he's taken off a couple of times and

359
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: makes are so Um, this is this is I see

360
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: him as good as I've ever seen him. I think

361
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: it looks that sharp start in the season backs already

362
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: with Dalvin. How does he started comparative guys you've seen right,

363
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: he's really explosive, totally different style of runner than what

364
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: we just saw. Um, but you know, equally as effective

365
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: for the most part. I mean, nobody's effective as Derek.

366
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: But but um, his explosiveness on the edge is really apparent,

367
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: and it carries over in the throwing game too. And

368
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: they screened him. They dumped the ball to him, and

369
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: he's hard to get down and uh, you know, we

370
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for him. The scheme. Is

371
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: there any common thread? Of course, you can't get this great. Yeah. Yeah.

372
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: They're both zone teams, you know, their primary zone teams,

373
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: you know, and running wide zone is their feature players.

374
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Both offenses. It hits differently, you know, and the way

375
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: the way you know you're defending it. It's different because

376
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: the style of the runner so um, but the concept

377
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: and the principles and almost call in the same places,

378
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: different schemes up the front rest two weeks work. You know,

379
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: we had a ton of plays last week that I

380
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: was really pleased with. You know, I'm talking about the

381
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: running game now. You know. We had twenty eight plays

382
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: or something four or less or whatever, you know, which

383
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: is a lot of players and a a lot of players

384
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: out the line of scrimmagem and we gave up, you know,

385
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: really the one big play and but they ran it

386
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: forty times, you know, and so they're gonna get some

387
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: yards and they do that, but you give up sixty yards,

388
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: all your numbers are screwed up. So um, we played,

389
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: We played scheme wise well with a couple exceptions, and

390
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: that's what happens. You know, you have to do it

391
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: play after play, aff to play forever, particularly against a

392
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: great running back, and he just keeps waiting and waiting,

393
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: and he explodes like he's done. You know, we were

394
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: We went a long time in that game without let

395
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: that happen, and then it finally it did. You know.

396
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate for us. His strength is really coming back.

397
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: And uh, from what I heard today, they tested him

398
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: for the first time in three or four days, and

399
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: so I don't know what that means yet, but his

400
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: strength came way back where it was. So he's feeling

401
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: much better. We gonna find out if that's enough to

402
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: let him play. I don't know yet. It's it's an

403
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: elbow related yeah, so there's yeah, there's some triestepping there

404
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: and and but it is you know, right, That's why

405
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: I said elbow And then you say, oh, I know,

406
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: I said triesepp and you guys said elbow because we

407
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: had said elbow. It's it's in that area. Okay, We're

408
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: more specific than that. It's kind of anyway. I'm not

409
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: sure Zach great for the first two weeks. How is

410
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: Denil Hunter returning? Imp He's got four sacks already, you know,

411
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: he's flying and he's, uh, he's hungry for it. You

412
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: can tell he's really coming off the ball well. And

413
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of those four that were just

414
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: effort sacks, you know that when the quarterback was moving

415
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: and he had wasn't just a pure pass rush win. Um,

416
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: he's playing really hard. He's a terrific player. I don't

417
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: make things easier for the rest of their defensive line

418
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: too any Yeah, that's that dominant in pass rush. He

419
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: affects it. He affects you know, they saw them on

420
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: the other side. You know, we saw Chandler a couple

421
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: weeks ago just totally affect the whole football team. You

422
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: know by the way he played. One guy on the

423
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: edge can be that kind of an impact player. Um.

424
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're getting ever some Griffin back

425
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: or not, but he's been like that, you know, in

426
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: the past, and so um that's what that's what Danielle's

427
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: doing now, Brandon show. Um, he's he's still a little

428
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: sore right now. He won't go to day. We'll see

429
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: what happens as we go day to day here. Um,

430
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: he's he's running and uh, he's gonna he won't make

431
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: it this week. Um, unless it's a real surprise at

432
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: the end of the week due to the process that

433
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: he has to make one ground running and all that. Yeah, yeah,

434
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: he's going today. I think he's been really strong, played

435
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: really strong. Um uh. You know, he was really jacked

436
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: for both games early in the games and just tried

437
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: a little bit too much to you know, to have impact.

438
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: And um, but he's finding his way. You know, he's

439
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: he's so prepared to go for it and all that,

440
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: and he's finding his way. And you know, he had

441
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: a couple of penalties you know that that were costly

442
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: and because he's really going overboard a little bit. And so, um,

443
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. We've talked all about it. He's

444
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: ready to go. Jamarco was a possibility that if he

445
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: couldn't go, and Jake also Jake had a really nice preseason.

446
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: So um, but we would go with experience first if

447
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: that's where we go. We've been a couple of scuffles

448
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: that people Kid's been involved into first kind of the

449
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: same thing, like maybe he's come into it right now

450
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: or no, he's just finding he's finding out. He's finding out,

451
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind of the boundaries to play with him.

452
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: You know, he's so physical that you know, he's he

453
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: finds himself in the situations where he's you know, kind

454
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: of overwhelming the guy at the times. And so he

455
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: just needs to know that how the officials are calling

456
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: it and when when you took your hands up and

457
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: all that, and um, I'm okay about what he's trying

458
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: to do. He's battling and he's competing like crazy, but

459
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: we have to do it within the guidelines. And so

460
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: that's that's really important. It's kind of that messaging is

461
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: important for a whole club. After last week, you know,

462
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: we had a lot of a lot of things happened

463
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: that we didn't need to have happened. Stuff to happen

464
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: after the play was you know finished, and uh, we

465
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: gave away a ton of yards and situations that we

466
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: have to do better at it. And he was he

467
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: was part of that. Always here what the receiver or

468
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: quarterback to do was would they've been together a while

469
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: about the chemistry what Tyler and Russ, Well, there time

470
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: we really noticed that. You know, I don't know Joe

471
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: when the time would be, but yeah, it hasn't been noticed, yes,

472
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: for a number of years. I wouldn't. I don't know

473
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: what you know, any any specific stuff. Um, one of

474
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: the culmination of that recognition would be the path that

475
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: Rust hits him against the Rams, you know, in the

476
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: corner of the ends. I mean, one of the most

477
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: perfect plays you could ever see in a game. And

478
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: that was like, you know, if you didn't believe it,

479
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: then then when you know when you're gonna believe it.

480
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: But um, it's it's it's really, it's really an exciting

481
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: thing to watch in sports when you see players that

482
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: have that have so much talent and so much awareness,

483
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and then you get them together and then they can

484
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: work off of each other, you know, and help each

485
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: other and and take them their play to such a level.

486
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: These two guys are just phenomenal. Rust and Tyler are

487
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: just phenomenal all around, you know, athletes and competitors and

488
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: gifted you know, performers, and and it they bring out

489
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 1: the best in each other always, I mean consistently they do.

490
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: And uh, it's really it's really marvelous watch manyr oppression

491
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: of how Kyle Boller's played these first two years he's played.

492
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: He's played good, solid football, He's played good strong football.

493
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of errors in there that kind

494
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: of first time started errors and I wish would go

495
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: away quickly, you know, a little snapped early in a

496
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: couple of things that have happened at the line of scrimmage,

497
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: things that really totally on us to to to command.

498
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: And physically he's done well. He's strong, Uh, he's tough,

499
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: and he's um he's really done a good job making

500
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: the calls up front. He's been very consistent, appreciated. UM,

501
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they just haven't paid enough attention

502
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: to the extraordinary plays that he continues to make, the

503
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: gifted plays way down the field and just makes him

504
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: look so easy and so gracefully, such a smooth athlete.

505
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe it's just they don't see the power,

506
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: they don't see the explosion. You know. Maybe he's really fast,

507
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know that. Um. You know

508
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: Evanson in the play that he broke last week, you know,

509
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: they weren't even close to catching him, and UM, I

510
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: don't He has been kind of under the radar, you know,

511
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: in a sense of it, you know, so really good.

512
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: He's been compensated really well. We know it, we recognize it,

513
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, so he's doing. He's doing just fine. And

514
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: this new offense. Is there anything that Russ has had

515
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: to get better at or learn that he didn't know

516
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: before that, or something something different that he didn't have

517
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: to do. We're going to get better at it because

518
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: of the intricacies of it. We're just going to get better,

519
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: you know, We're just going to improve as we go

520
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: because it takes time. It takes reps, you know, there

521
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: was these are the first two games we played together.

522
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: And so um, I would say two four weeks from now,

523
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: it will well you'll see us continue to take advantage

524
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: of all of the hard work that's come you know

525
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: before it, and where we can. It's always about minimizing

526
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: your bad swings, you know, and and uh that's a

527
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: golf reference right there in case you're winning great, um,

528
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, and just clearing it up, you know, and

529
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: being more precise and all that consistent. Um. So it's good.

530
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: We're going to get better, is there stuff. Yeah, it's

531
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: just feeling comfortable with it, playing really fast with it,

532
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: really you know, quickly responsive and taking the advantage of

533
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: what we're looking for and what the call has to

534
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: offer and stuff like that. So um, there's there's there's

535
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: still a real upside, you see. Um, I would like

536
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: us to be able to run the ball better than

537
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Yeah, I wish that was happening when you

538
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: get ahead. You know, it's nice to be able to

539
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: do that. And uh, it's always been the way that

540
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: we love to finish games. And so I'm just hoping

541
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: that we'll continue to develop so that when we need it,

542
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: we can go to it. And that's why balance is

543
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: so important. And that's why you guys always want to

544
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: know how you talk about the running game, Well, there's

545
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: there's a reason why. It's really nice when you can

546
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: pound the clock down and and and uh, you know,

547
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: and own the finish of the football game. We it

548
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: just hasn't happened as well as we like. Um, but um,

549
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: you know we've been aheading both those games and we

550
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: need to just finish this last one better than we

551
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: did so and that's I'm all so far with his

552
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: path freshing opportunities, and I guess in generally speaking, he's

553
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: been he's been aggressive, he's been really going after it,

554
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, we expect him to. He

555
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to keep him down.

556
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: He's going to make some plays, you know, and uh,

557
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: we love what he's doing. Um, and so we're going

558
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: to keep using him, you know. And he's just an

559
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: explosive play waiting to happen, you know, And so you

560
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: like how often you're using him and that role of

561
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: that more. You know, it depends. It's really weak to week,

562
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: and it depends on what's what's available and all that.

563
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: And uh, you know we're sending him sometimes you know,

564
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: for effects, you know, and so that they got to

565
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: deal with him in the end. He really brings it.

566
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: So the production. You know that he missed his first

567
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: stack the first third down of the season, you know,

568
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: because he was at two inches off side. You know,

569
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: that would have been a nice start to the whole thing.

570
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: But um, he'll make plenty of place. Does he have

571
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: to take shots even what it's not necessarily cold, Um,

572
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: he does. He does have a certain amount of freedom,

573
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: as all of our players do. You know, if you

574
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: know what you're what the situation is, and what the

575
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: opportunity is presented, we want to go for it. You know,

576
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: we're trying to go for it and uh, not outside

577
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: the guidelines of the defense. For the scheme ever on

578
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: either side of the ball, you know. But you know,

579
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm always encouraging guys in particularly guys that I know

580
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: have it in him and have the instincts to go

581
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: and to take shots. I'm looking for the opportunities for

582
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: them to do that, and they try to gauge that

583
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: as we go, and I know that there's a there's

584
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: a fine line there, you know, about going too far

585
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: and uh and taking chances that are outside of the scheme.

586
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: One of the great take a shot guys we ever

587
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: had with Michael Bennett. And you know, Michael needed he

588
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: needed guidelines, but yet you needed to let him go

589
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: to or he wouldn't make the plays that he would make.

590
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: And so there was a little bit of plus minus

591
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: there at times. And uh, you know, I always hope

592
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: to and for the most part, you know, he was

593
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: great at it, you know. And so um, now there's

594
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: there there's guys that could do that carelessly and we

595
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: won't let him do that, you know, We'll restrict him,

596
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: and that's for sure. But the guys that have the

597
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: natural and that sense and that go for it mentality, Um,

598
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, like Russ, you know, he got to let

599
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: him have his chance to do those kinds of things

600
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: that the great things won't happen is often so Henry

601
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: Ron was out of play where he saw something and

602
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: took the shot. He fitted up really aggressively and so

603
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: aggressively that that the spacing between he and Trey got

604
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: bigger than normal. He wents so hard he's trying to

605
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: make to play in the backfield, you know. And uh

606
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: so we just have to we have to learn our guys.

607
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: And it's just like I'll go back to the Micael

608
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Mike Bennett was in town last week, is what I'm

609
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: thinking of him. But we had to compensate for Mike

610
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: sometimes so that he could go ahead and have those freedoms.

611
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: And there's some some some similarity there. There's some real

612
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: coaching points that we also employee right here to do

613
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: it where you don't get vulnerable by going too far,

614
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: too fast, you know. So, um, I mean we're coaching

615
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: head kind of that. More of the huddle coming your

616
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: way next, don't go anywhere. This is the huddle with

617
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: Dave Boyman, Jake Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We got a

618
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: great interview with Alton Robin sin coming your way in

619
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: just a few minutes before we get to that. Some

620
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks injury updates from Pete Carroll's press conference. Right tackle

621
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell with the nacholes brain is day to day.

622
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: If he cannot go, Jamarco Jones will likely start in

623
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: his place. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Brian Money is feeling much

624
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: better after injuring his elbow slash triceps area. He though

625
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: is still TBD for week three. Likely out for week

626
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: three is running back Rashad Penny with a calf injury.

627
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: He wasn't placed on the injured reserve, which means that

628
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: it was expected he'd miss no more than three weeks

629
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: that would be the minimum required for IR, so he

630
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: could be back next week, although doesn't look like he's

631
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: going to go this week. Any quick reactions to that, Jake,

632
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: Any quick reactions? I think that when you're talking about

633
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: s Gridge, it to me it's it's a bummer that

634
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: you're not able to get him out on the field.

635
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: It's a bummer that you know he's not able to

636
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: make the recovery as quickly as you were hoping, and

637
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: quite frankly, it's a very difficult thing to understand and

638
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: to know exactly what the timeline is it's not a

639
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: easy injury to recover from because it's so unknown and

640
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: so unexpected. But he's definitely going to be a missing

641
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: piece that you would love to have out there and

642
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: love to get his speed on the field. Yeah, Escridge

643
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: seemed optimistic that excuse me, Pete Carroll seemed optimistic that

644
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Escridge could return for week three. But he is not

645
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: practicing today as he presumably goes through that concussion protocol,

646
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see when he's finally back

647
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: out there. I think not having Rashad Penny obviously it's

648
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: a bummer because you'd like to see him bounce back

649
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: and try to make the most of what's you know,

650
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: under contract his final year in Seattle. But I think

651
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: you feel okay knowing that you have Chris Carson, knowing

652
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: that Alex Collins had that great twenty five yard run

653
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: last week. He looked great for you, so it could

654
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: be another big opportunity for him. No, I do, and

655
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about it because I do have that

656
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: much faith in not only Carson, but Alex Collins as

657
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: well as your backup option, and I think that they're

658
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: in a really good spot there so it doesn't put

659
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: you behind offensively in that situation. And you know, if

660
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: any thing, you were hoping that Rashad Penny would pop

661
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: and that he would add to what you have, but

662
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: you're certainly not expecting him or relying on him to

663
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: propel the offense forward. So it's not as big of

664
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: a hit. It would just be a nice addition too.

665
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: So I think that Eskridge is a bigger deal. I

666
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: think not having Brian Money out there potentially is a

667
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: bigger deal than the Penny injury. Now, one interesting thing

668
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: I mentioned we'd be speaking with Alton Robinson. Well, this

669
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: from Seahawks reporter John Boyle. It sounds like Alton Robinson

670
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: will see more playing time this week. This is what

671
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said. If anybody is clamoring for more, me too.

672
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: He needs to be out there more. He's been so

673
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: effective even in limited snaps for this team. He has.

674
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: But also, isn't this something that we talked about last year,

675
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 1: like this was this was also a rookie. Yeah, but

676
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: last year this is something that Pete Carroll also said.

677
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I know that there's other guys that

678
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: you signed and may have been ahead of at Alton Robinson.

679
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: But I would have liked to have seen him get

680
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: more active snaps and be more active a part of

681
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: the rotation. So I mean, maybe we see this happen,

682
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: and it happens by necessity this this next week, and

683
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: that'll be a very good thing because he's obviously popped

684
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: and shows explosion. Speaking of that, he had a strip

685
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: sack uh carry hider with the fumble recovery led to

686
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: a Chris Carson touchdown last week. A great play by him.

687
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask him about that next. Alton Robinson joins

688
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: us on the huddle. Coming your way in a few minutes.

689
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: Joining us right now on the huddle is Seahawks defensive

690
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: lineman Alton Robinson. Alton, I have to start by saying congratulations.

691
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: That was a heck of a play last week with

692
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: sacking Carson Wentz forcing that fumble. Can you walk us

693
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: through what happened? Um, yeah, it was just it was

694
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: a past play I was able to be in on

695
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: and uh, I just took advantage of the opportunity to

696
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: be out there and was able to get to hit

697
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: and cause the ball to come out. How good did

698
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: that feel to be able to get that hit on

699
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: on Ryan Tannehill and to be able to get that

700
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: ball strip sack. Oh man, that's the best playing football solf.

701
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: So good to just lay heavy on a quarterback again. Now, Alton,

702
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to have the luxury of playing

703
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: in front of the twelves, and so you had this big,

704
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: huge moment and I'm sure that stadium was rocking and

705
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: going crazy. How cool was that? And it was one

706
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: of the best films I had in a long time,

707
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. To be able to play

708
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: in front of fans and to get everybody rocking the

709
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: way they did, it was fantastic. I've been getting into

710
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, some TIFFs, some debates with people

711
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: because I think the expectations should be high for the defense.

712
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: You guys have so much talent. A great defensive minded

713
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: head coach. What are your expectations for yourself like as

714
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: a let's say that side of the ball this year.

715
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: What are your guys's expectations as a defense. I think

716
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: our expectation is to just, you know, play how we

717
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: know we can play, you know what I mean? And

718
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: every every day we come to work ready to go

719
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: knowing that it's another day to get better. So I

720
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: think just playing to the level that we know we

721
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: can play at as a expectation of the whole defense

722
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: out and with a you know, tough loss like that.

723
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: What are some of the conversations that you guys are

724
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: having internally to you know, learn from the mistakes that

725
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: happened in that game, but like you said, move forward

726
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: heading into this next week, a big game against the Vikings.

727
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: Just just finish it, you know what I mean. We

728
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: had them down, and we just got to learn to

729
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: finish and uh, not only learn it, but just stay

730
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: true to it. And just when we got them down

731
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: and keep our foot down, you know, not letting up,

732
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, out in one of the unique situations. And

733
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: I can't can't imagine how hard this is because you know,

734
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: I played quarterback and there's only one quarterback that is

735
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: on the field. You have the ball in your hands,

736
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, you get into the rhythm of the

737
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: game for you and and and for a defensive line.

738
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: You guys are in a rotation and some of you

739
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: guys are are more specialists in terms of the ski

740
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: or the way that you fit into the defense and

741
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: the pass rush and your ability and what you bring

742
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: to the table. How how hard is it to, you know,

743
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: be asked to come into the game and give your

744
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: very best for a player two and then come off

745
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: and then come back on. What is that like? I

746
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: would have as hard more as I would almost say,

747
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: it's a little bit reversed. Makes it more exciting, you know,

748
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: waiting there to play the whole time, and then you

749
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: know you get out there, it's easier to give you

750
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: a full effort and everything like that because you don't

751
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: know when the opportunity to give to come back. So

752
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: it's not as hard as it may seem. So yeah, no,

753
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: it does. So the anticipation and the excitement to get

754
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: out there, it just remains at an all time high. Absolutely, Alton.

755
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: I love seeing you drop back into coverage a little

756
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: bit too. Tell us about that man, Um, Yeah, we

757
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: saw you kind of turn and run with That was

758
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: a wide receiver that you were running with. I know

759
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: he made the catch, but jeez, you had great coverage

760
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: on him. Is that is that all new to you?

761
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: How much have you been working on that. I've been

762
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: working on it quite a bit this offseason and U

763
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: through the season as you've seen, Um, But it's uh,

764
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: it's fairly new. Uh, it's not too new, but it's

765
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: new that them throwing the ball and actually you know

766
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: them count on me. It's not like it's always under

767
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: pressure or anything like that. So just no one where

768
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: to go is the big deal? You know what I mean? Yeah? Well,

769
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: I love that you ran with him in the out

770
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: and up. I mean that's something that linebackers you know,

771
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: and dbs know. And then the other thing was like

772
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: you were all over him. I mean, the guy made

773
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: a great catch, but I just thought it was it

774
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: was really good coverage. I was like, is that a

775
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: defensive end out there? Man? That was a nice job.

776
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. Hey, Alton, I don't know if you remember this,

777
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: but Jake and I interviewed you in training camp kind

778
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: of just talking about all kinds of different things, and

779
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: one of the things we asked you was which player

780
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: do you look up to? But then like DK Metcalf

781
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: came over and grabbed a mic and was interviewing you.

782
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Yeah? He was who was the person?

783
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: He said, like, you said you looked up to? Who

784
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: do you monitor your game after? And he said, oh,

785
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: I've got his number. I'll put you in contact Marcella

786
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: tell me that he did that. Did he do that?

787
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: We actually haven't been able to get in contact with

788
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: him yet, but I know he was talking about probably

789
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: for the next off season because we're so busy with

790
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: the season right now. That's awesome. Yeah, that's that's cool.

791
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: I hope I hope they. I hope that you're able

792
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: to actually make that happen because I was going to

793
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: try to hold him accounting. Yeah, we're gonna trying to

794
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 1: help you out. Yeah, we're not gonna we're not gonna

795
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: let it go, and we're gonna make sure that DK

796
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: falls through on his promises. I got one hundred and

797
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: ten percent faith in DKA that he will do that. Hey,

798
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: Alton tell us, I thought you had a great rookie

799
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: year man coming in and getting four sacks, and I think,

800
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: I want to say, your first play against Dallas you

801
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: had to tackle for a loss on Ezekiel Elliott. It

802
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: was a really good, really good start. How how much

803
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: more comfortable did you feel coming back for your second year?

804
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: And I know you've been working with Cliff Avril also

805
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: a little bit in the off season. Yeah, it was

806
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: I was a little more comfortable. You know, because I

807
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: knew what to expect coming into the second season. You know,

808
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: the first season was kind of like, Okay, I'm the

809
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: new kid. I got to kind of feel my way

810
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: through it a little bit. But coming back this season,

811
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: I was able to have my nerves a little bit

812
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: more calm than just know what to expect not only

813
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: from the Seahawks, but from what other teams are trying

814
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: to do to the Seahawks. So in that regard, I

815
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: was a little bit more comfortable. Alton is still a

816
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: young player in this league. Second year, you've had your

817
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: opportunity to play against him. First, this is the first

818
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: time I went up against this player, that player. How

819
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: unique was it to go up against Derrek Henry? What

820
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: was that like? And then is there anybody else that

821
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: has stood out to you so far that you've gotten

822
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: to play play against It either you were excited for

823
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: or just walked away from going wow that guy. That

824
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 1: guy was really unique. Yeah. I mean, you know, Derek

825
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't wow me too much because you know, he's,

826
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, been doing it for so long now, like

827
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: it's almost like to be expected. But being out there

828
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: with him, he definitely was a bigger body. It was

829
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: like them, this is the end running the ball right now.

830
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: But I would say that's one guy. But another one

831
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: was Trent Williams last year. You know, he was a

832
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: little banged up a thousands another guy walked away from like,

833
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: all right, I got a chance to go against Trent

834
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: because he was, you know, one of the best to

835
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: do it for the past couple of years. So those

836
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: are probably the two that I would say are the mains.

837
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: But I like other than that, we'll see. I know,

838
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: we got a couple of games coming up here that

839
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited for. Pretty soon people will be saying, you

840
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: know that Alton Robinson, that's the guy that Yeah, he

841
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: was my welcome to the NFL moment, all right. He

842
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: is Seahawks defensive end Alton Robinson. Alton, it's been fun

843
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: to talk to you, man. We can't wait to see

844
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: you get even more snaps out here. You've been a

845
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: fun player to watch. I appreciate you. Guys. Take care

846
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: more of the huddle coming your way next. Don't go anywhere.

847
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keepson,

848
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: Stacy Ross. It's one of our favorite segments because we

849
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: are going in the trenches with Ray Roberts joining us

850
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: right now. What's up Ray? Nothing much? How are you

851
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: guys doing. We're good. I was listening to you on

852
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks postgame show on my way home from the game,

853
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: and I caught midway through a conversation about the run game.

854
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: So that's actually where I want to start, because I

855
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: think it was a big point to make. It felt

856
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: like to me this was something where on either side

857
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: they struggled defense versus Derrick Henry. Henry won that battle,

858
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: and then Seattle couldn't sustain their drives with the run.

859
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: What did you see specifically with that, including upfront? Maybe

860
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: for Seattle's offense. Yeah, So for Seattle, I thought that

861
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: the just the the approach to the running game was

862
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: looked different than what they had done in Week one,

863
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: and week one they used a lot of that pre

864
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: stap motion and then the only other way I know

865
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: how to say it is like at the snap movement

866
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: that kind of kind of created some hesitancy in the defense.

867
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: So then allowed the offensive line to get onto their

868
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: blocks and up to the second level a little better,

869
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 1: and so they were a little better running the football.

870
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: And then on you know, on Sunday against the Titans,

871
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like they were doing those types of things.

872
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: So I wasn't really clear that they were really clear

873
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: on how they wanted to attack the running game. And

874
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: then on top of that, I don't know that uh

875
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: that the the the guards and the center. I think,

876
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 1: you know, Damian Lewis played okay, but I think that

877
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson struggled a little bit uh in the middle

878
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: there along with the center. And so when you can't

879
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: get those three interior guys winning most of their battles,

880
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: when you're kind of running that zone concept, there's usually

881
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: nowhere to uh to you know, to create holes to

882
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: run the ball. So I don't know that that the

883
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: play to support a good running game. And then I

884
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: don't know that the play calling in the approach was

885
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: there to support a good running game. As as relates

886
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: to Derrick Henry um Man, it's just like that was

887
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: classic Derrick Henry, Like he gains a lot of yards

888
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: after the after the after contact, and he gains a

889
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: lot of yards in the second half, like halfway through

890
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: the third quarter to the end of the game. So

891
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: a lot of teams get to you know, get excited about, Hey,

892
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: we bottled him up in the first half, and then

893
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: you want to know what happened in the second half. Well,

894
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: that's just kind of what he does. That's been this

895
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: m know, you know, throughout his career in the league.

896
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: He doesn't get panicked. In the first half of the

897
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: Titans didn't get panicked, and they just seemed more committed

898
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: and disciplined to what they were doing. Then the Seahawks

899
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: seemed more discipline, they committed to how they wanted to

900
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: stop him. Yeah, I agree, RD, That's what I would say,

901
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: and what I've been saying this week is that you know,

902
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you win when you do right longer

903
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: you know whoever does write for the longest time, and

904
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: that you know, you never saw any of that. And

905
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: no matter what the score was, the Titans just stuck

906
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: with what their plan was and they were just going

907
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: to continue to grind away at the defense and get

908
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: Derek Henry his carries. And I thought it was you know,

909
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: I thought that their their defense was really well coached.

910
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, you know, nobody wants to hear this,

911
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: but I felt like this was one of the better

912
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: teams that has come in here and had a really

913
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: good plan and I just liked it was very old

914
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: school the way that they stuck with what they had. Yeah,

915
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: and it was super physical. I mean, he played the

916
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: physical big boys football and uh and so there wasn't

917
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: any you know, you know, prettiness to how they were

918
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: running the ball. And then all of a sudden, the

919
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks felt like they had to take chances to stop

920
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: the run. And then you pop one for sixty yards

921
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. And so you know, there's a lot

922
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: of talk around who was at fault for that, who

923
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: should have done this, that and the other thing. But

924
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: when when you can feel that that running game was

925
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: getting started, h then you have to do run blitzes

926
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: and all that. You know, we saw Bobby running through

927
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, the backside gap sometimes to get to the tackle,

928
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: and so you're just trying to you're just trying to

929
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: sell all out to stop the run. And then in

930
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: situations like that, it can be one, you know, someone

931
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: missing one gap or one good block or one miss

932
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: tackle into the guy like him, even though as big

933
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: as he is, can take it sixty yards for a touchdown. Right,

934
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, what I saw from the running game, it

935
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: really surprised me to not see this group, especially in

936
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: the interior, not have as successful a day at the

937
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: office as I was anticipating. I mean, the Tennessee Titans.

938
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: Credit to them their front seven. They got after they

939
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: were very physical coming downhill. But were you seeing some

940
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: of the same things that I were, And what would

941
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: you have done to try to maybe change that up

942
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: to give them the best chance at success. Yeah, so

943
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: I definitely saw that, Jake, And the thing that I

944
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: noticed more than anything was that the defensive lineman for

945
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: the Titans were using their hands really well to create separations.

946
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 1: So that's a few times where Gabe Jackson just wasn't

947
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: moving the defensive lineman anywhere, and the dude just had

948
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: them completely locked locked out. And then when the ball came,

949
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: when Carson came, we just got off the block and

950
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: made the tackle. And so I think things happened like that.

951
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: You have to find you either gotta you know, we're

952
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: doing a lot of the zone blocking. Maybe you'll do

953
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: some down blocking and pulling, get out on the edge

954
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: a little bit and get out from between the tackles.

955
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: Make those big defensive linemen have to run sideline. The

956
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: sideline a little bit to get them a little worn out,

957
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: or you know, or do what you did, you know

958
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 1: in the first game. Throw some eye candy there to

959
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: slow everybody down a little bit. Because the one thing

960
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: about you know, I'm gonna you know, I want to

961
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: run the ball a hundred times a game if we can.

962
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: But the one thing about uh, you know, the zone

963
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: blocking schemes and and is that people once they read them,

964
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: the linebackers attack down here really hard, and it makes

965
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: it hard to sustain the double team at the at

966
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage because they pulled that second lineman

967
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: off the double team faster. And so putting a little

968
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: eye candy it slows that down a little bit so

969
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: that the guard or the tackle or the center can

970
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: get up to the second level. And I thought they

971
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: could have helped themselves a little bit with that. They

972
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: tried it a little bit later in the game, but

973
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: I think one time they fumbled the ball, like they

974
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: got the motion and the handoffs all mixed up and everything.

975
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: But but I thought they could have. They have some

976
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: stuff in their playbook that could have helped the offensive

977
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: line a little bit loosen up some of that defense.

978
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting unit to watch as

979
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: a whole. This week. With Brandon Shell being day to day,

980
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: Jamarco Jones could start in his place. You guys, make

981
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: sure you're following Big Ray Roberts at Big Ray Roberts

982
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He's got Big Ray's garage grind. It's some

983
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: good takeaways from the game. I always love seeing those

984
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: every single week. Ray, And obviously you can hear Ray

985
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: in addition to on the huddle with us normally on

986
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: Thursdays on the Seahawks Pre and Post Game Show. Thanks Ray, Hey,

987
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: thanks for having you guys. Are doing a great job

988
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: and really enjoy having an opportunity to get on and

989
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: talk a little trenches with you guys. Thanks Ray. We

990
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: always say having you all right. He is Ray Roberts

991
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: part of the Seahawks Pre and Postgame Show. I really do.

992
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: He is the best person in the entire world to

993
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: talk about obviously with everything football. But during training camp

994
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: I would go up to him and Jake, I saw

995
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: you doing it plenty people do, and you just like, Hey, Ray,

996
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: what are you seeing here? And he can break down

997
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: in a way that's so easy to understand. You know,

998
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: when Jake was torching me as a defensive coordinator when

999
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: he was in high school. My head coach was Ray Roberts. Yeah,

1000
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: there's a little history there with Big Ray and Dave

1001
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 1: and that's why they both don't like me. So I mean, hey, hey,

1002
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: looks from them all the time. But you know, to

1003
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: your point, Ray doesn't such a great job in terms

1004
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: of articulating a very complicated thing because offensive line play

1005
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: is intricate, Like people just think of it as, oh,

1006
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: you just dominate the other guy. There it is, and

1007
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: there's so much technique, there's so much involved, combo blocks,

1008
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: the way you work together your technique and all those

1009
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: different things and how it all comes together. Ray does

1010
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: an excellent job with that, all right. Steve Rabel, play

1011
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: by play man for the Seahawks, going to join us

1012
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 1: next on the huddle. Don't go anywhere. This is the

1013
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We

1014
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: are getting you ready for the Seahawks Week three game

1015
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Joining us right now,

1016
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: the voice of the Seahawks himself, Steve Rabel, rabes, what's up.

1017
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Kids? We are very excited not

1018
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: just to be with you, but also maybe looking ahead,

1019
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: trying to look past this loss. So I'll go ahead

1020
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: and just kind of skip skip what happened against the Titans,

1021
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: even though some of it is going to have to

1022
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: be corrected. So I'll start with this. What's one of

1023
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:12,919
Speaker 1: the biggest weapons that Minnesota is going to bring this team? Well,

1024
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: I can tell you his number is thirty three and

1025
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: it's spelled Dalvin Cook. He is I think the best

1026
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: weapon they have. I mean, they've got some good receivers,

1027
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 1: and their quarterback Cousins is pretty consistent, but Dalvin Cook

1028
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: is a difference maker. He is as good a running

1029
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: back I think as there is right now in the league.

1030
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: He can get banged up a little bit because he's

1031
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy in the world. He's only, you know,

1032
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: like two hundred and ten pounds or something. But he

1033
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: is strong, he is explosive. He's a one cut and

1034
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: go guy, and he will be on the corner and

1035
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: upfield if you're not if you're not prepared for him

1036
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. And he was on his way to

1037
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: a big game against US last season before he got

1038
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: nicked up and his replacement came in and ran for

1039
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards, So obviously we needed a little

1040
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: help on just stopping the run regardless of who was playing.

1041
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: But Dalvin Cook, to me, is the guy that makes

1042
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: that offense go. And besides that, I mean, Mike Zimmer

1043
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: is an old school coach. Yeah, he loves to see

1044
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: the big plays and the and the past receiving and

1045
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but he likes to play defense and

1046
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: run the ball. Hey, Raves, have you ever called a

1047
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: field goal no good when it was good and vice versa? No,

1048
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe I have. And I've held off a

1049
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: couple of times in actually making the call, and you've

1050
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: heard me say this, David. You know, wait, don't make

1051
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: the call, you know, is it good? Is it not good?

1052
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: Because you just don't want to make that mistake. So

1053
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't ever remember actually making a call

1054
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: like that, saying that it was good where it wasn't good.

1055
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: You know, there are times when did he make the catch?

1056
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: And it's really tough to tell, but I'm guessing that

1057
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: those guys were doing the game off of a monitor

1058
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: and so they weren't able to see that that angle

1059
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: that you really want to see, which is from behind

1060
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: the goal posts. Sure, right, there in the building where

1061
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: you can see the officials down below the uprights when

1062
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: they put their arms up or they wave it off.

1063
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was kind of tough on

1064
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: those guys, but you know, hey, it'll be forgotten by

1065
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: next week. Oh yeah, and Paul Allen's like one of

1066
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: the best too. I mean, yeah, he does a really

1067
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: good a long time. But you know, I yell as

1068
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, as you know in the booth, but those guys,

1069
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: they lose their minds. I mean, holy smokes, they go crazy.

1070
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: Well you know what I heard you two guys go

1071
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: crazy about. Is that DJ read taunting penalty. I mean

1072
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: I listening to you guys talk about it, I mean

1073
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: I thought you guys were going to come on glued.

1074
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: I thought Dave might have walked down on the field

1075
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: to talk to the referee himself. Yeah. You know, I

1076
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: don't agree with Dave on a lot of things, but

1077
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: on that, I mean I really do. I just couldn't

1078
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: believe it. I think they're just trying to I understand

1079
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. And let's face it, these

1080
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: things don't happen because, as somebody was saying yesterday or

1081
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: the day before, because you know, Goodell decides, I don't

1082
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: want somebody waving a finger in somebody else's face. This

1083
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: stuff comes from the from the coaches and general managers.

1084
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: They're the ones who were in charge of making these

1085
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: rules and the kinds of things that they want the

1086
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: officials to really focus on. But that was so I

1087
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: mean immaterial. Yeah, didn't lead any points. I get you

1088
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but it just kind of takes the

1089
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: you know, the wind out of your sails when you

1090
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: make a big play and then you're marching off fifteen

1091
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: yards and it gives them another opportunity with the ball,

1092
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: and you never know the next time it will cost points.

1093
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: I just think it's I just think it's ridiculous. I

1094
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: think they're going too far overboard. You know, it used

1095
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: to be that you couldn't slug a guy, Okay, I

1096
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: got that. Now you can't even look at him and

1097
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: make a comment. He might have been saying, you know what,

1098
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: I really like those socks you're wearing because they threw

1099
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: a flag on it. For having's sakes, he said, I'm

1100
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: so excited because you're Julio Jones. You're the best. Yeah.

1101
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Can I have autographic let's trade? Yeah? You want to

1102
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: trade jerseys. Yeah, well, you know it was it was

1103
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: kind of funny that the and I don't mean to

1104
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: dwell on it, but I'm going to uh yeah. One

1105
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: of the things they said was, well, I don't want

1106
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: to see some big brawl that gets out of control.

1107
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys have been taunting each other for

1108
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, decades, and have we ever seen like an

1109
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: out of control brawl in the NFL. I mean typically

1110
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: it's I would think they would back off of that.

1111
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: One rapes. But you know, as the season goes on,

1112
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: I hope so, only because I just think, well, you know,

1113
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: maybe if the players Association really climbs on board and

1114
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: says this is ridiculous, you know, the players don't like it.

1115
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: Pete tried to explain it in such a way that,

1116
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, to try to keep you know, because he

1117
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: doesn't want to, you know, make nasty with the rest

1118
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 1: of the coaches in the league and all that. It's

1119
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: just it's the emphasis that you put on it, and

1120
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: it's the timing with which it's done, where it's done,

1121
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: where it happens in the game, those kinds of things.

1122
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: You know. It's one thing if you go running over

1123
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: to the far sidelines and you're screaming at somebody and

1124
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: you're poking your finger in the chest of another player

1125
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: on their sidelines, and everybody's getting a little hot under

1126
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: the collar. That's one thing, but in the heat of

1127
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: the battle right out there on the field and in

1128
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: such a minor way that it worked against dj I,

1129
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't get it, Rabel. We haven't had

1130
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: a chance to ask you this yet, but what was

1131
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,479
Speaker 1: your overall impression of the second half of the game.

1132
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: That's really where everybody's focusing that that's where everything started

1133
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 1: to change for the game on both sides of the ball.

1134
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: What were your impressions and what was the difference. I'm

1135
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: trying to remember, Dave, and you remind me, because, as

1136
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: you know, I'm old and I forget stuff. But I

1137
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: don't know that as we got into the middle of

1138
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: the third quarter and then into the fourth quarter that

1139
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: we you know, came out and actually commented specifically on

1140
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, while the Seahawks just aren't

1141
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: sustaining any drives here, it's another three downs and out,

1142
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: it's another punt, uh, you know, unable to run the football.

1143
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: I know we didn't see a lot of you know,

1144
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: Chris Carson at all, what thirty thirty one yards he

1145
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: had on the ground, That's just that's not enough. You

1146
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: can't this team can't win by doing it that way.

1147
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't think. Uh. And then and then the biggest

1148
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: thing was the longer your defense is out on the field,

1149
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: the more they're getting pounded, you know by Derreck Henry.

1150
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: So I just thought that second half was part of

1151
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 1: it was the defense just got worn down. I think,

1152
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, you go into the game without Brian Money,

1153
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: so he's one of your big run stuffers inside, and

1154
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: that starts to wear out those those defensive linemen. But

1155
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: the way you the way you overcome that. Sure you

1156
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: make tackles, but listen, that guy breaks a lot of tackles,

1157
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: and not just by the Seahawks. Did you keep him

1158
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: on the bench, you know, convert some third downs, and

1159
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: that means sustaining and getting back to that balance that

1160
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: we saw in the first week that we didn't see

1161
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: this last week. And I got a feeling that that

1162
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: was one of the big messages that came across and

1163
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: tell the truth Monday, we got to go back to

1164
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: what we did a week ago. That works throwing deep

1165
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: as great, and yeah you can score once in a while,

1166
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: but as many times as not, you're gonna end up

1167
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: with a three and out and back on the bench. Yeah,

1168
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: and ribs. You know, I've been pining over this. The

1169
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: drive before halftime, Remember how masterful that was? Yes, you know,

1170
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: and then use the timeout. Russ didn't use the time

1171
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: out as I remember, right, they had two time outs,

1172
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, they didn't have to, And just the way

1173
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: they mixed it up and Jake talked about spreading them

1174
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: out and then running the ball. You remember Alex Collins

1175
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: hit like a twenty three yard or so. Yeah, they

1176
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: just kind of got away from that. That was kind

1177
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,280
Speaker 1: of frustrating. But I thought, more than anything that Tennessee

1178
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: really just they they're well coached, they're discipline and they

1179
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: just stuck with their their game plan. Well, yeah, and

1180
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: they've got some great playmakers. I mean, you know, Derrick

1181
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: Henry Rushes for what one hundred and eighty yards or something,

1182
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 1: And then you got Julio Jones. I was, quite frankly,

1183
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: I was a bit surprised that Julio had as much

1184
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: in the tank as he did. Still, I guess I

1185
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: remembered him from last year. He was kind of beat

1186
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: up last year. And we haven't seen really Brown because

1187
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: he's a young guy and we have, you know, as

1188
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: a former teammate Metcalf out here, so we tend to

1189
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 1: think of DK as being the premier guy out of

1190
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: that class. But if I can, let me ask and

1191
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: Jake the year the other quarterback here. And I heard Bump,

1192
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: Michael Bump is talking about this. It might have been

1193
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,479
Speaker 1: it might have been in the postgame show, or could

1194
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: have been you know, this week, early in the week,

1195
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: but he said something that I thought that really kind

1196
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: of resonated with me, that you can't fall in love

1197
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: with the deep pass. And I think at times, and

1198
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm not putting this on Russ, but I'm just saying

1199
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: a number of times we saw in this game, and

1200
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: especially late in the going and obviously in the in

1201
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: the overtime, is that the bailout pass was deep down

1202
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: the sidelines instead of where is that ten yard eight

1203
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,439
Speaker 1: yard come back? You know, with the defense that's playing deep,

1204
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: they don't want to get beat deep. Where are those passes?

1205
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: And I kind of that was, you know, I kind

1206
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 1: of shook my head. Yeah, I get that you can't

1207
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: fall in love with the deep pass. It would fully

1208
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: agree with you, Rabes, and a lot of those situations

1209
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: uniquely is it's almost kind of how the play designed,

1210
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: how it's set up. You have one on one opportunities

1211
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: you take, you try to go for the one on one,

1212
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't the hypercentage one on one instead

1213
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,479
Speaker 1: of a goball, where's the slant, where's the as you said,

1214
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: the out um, you know, different ways to create those

1215
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: those mismatches, and I think that that resonates with everybody

1216
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: as you're watching how they were unable to sustain those

1217
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: drives and get positive yardages early in these downs to

1218
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: get them in more advantageous third down situations. Yeah, yeah,

1219
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree completely. You're you're That's why you're

1220
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: where you are, Jake, You're just you're You're just a

1228
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: across enemy lines. Here for a quick opponent preview of

1229
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings with ESPN Vikings reporter Courtney Kronits come on

1230
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: your way. Next joining us right now for an opponent

1231
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: preview on the huddle is Courtney Cronin, a Vikings reporter

1232
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: for ESPN. Hey, Courtney, how are you? Hey, Stacey, I'm good,

1233
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: how are you? We are fantastic you're here with Dave Wyman,

1234
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: Jay Keeps as well. We're kind of leaning into you

1235
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: for some insight here for the Seahawks upcoming opponent as

1236
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: our listeners right now, So I'm going to start with

1237
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 1: just kind of look full disclosure, I have not been

1238
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: watching a lot of Vikings tape, but I have been

1239
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: looking over just the box scorts. We know they can

1240
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: be misleading, but Courtney, it kind of seems like this

1241
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: is a team that could be to a no at

1242
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: least on paper, and they've just had some bad luck.

1243
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: Is that how it seems to you? Yes and no.

1244
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: We were actually just talking about this at the end

1245
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: of practice. Where are they really two plays away? The

1246
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: humble from Dalvin fok in Cincinnati in overtime and the

1247
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: missfield goal at the end of regulation in Arizona. Are

1248
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: they really those two plays away from being two and oh?

1249
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: And I think that you have to look through that

1250
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: and realize, obviously, there were plays that set up them

1251
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: to be in that situation where it's a game winner. Effectively,

1252
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: that's in the last moment, that that's what they needed

1253
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: in order to win. And you know, you look at

1254
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: the offense in Cincinnati and just how poor of a

1255
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: start they had and how bad the offensive line looked

1256
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: and all the penalties, and I think that that factors

1257
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: into the cumulative effect of what happened that game, that

1258
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: they even had to kick a fifty three yard field

1259
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: goal to go to overtime to beat the Bengals. And

1260
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: then last week, the offense starts out hot and they

1261
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: were really good, but then they only generate three points

1262
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: in the second half. They kind of slowed down. The

1263
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: deep was getting gashed by these big fifteen plus yard

1264
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: throws in completions from Kyler Murray. So you can look

1265
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: at it in a vacuum and say, yeah, they lost

1266
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: because Greg Joseph didn't kick that thirty seven yard field goal,

1267
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: or because Dalvin Cook fumbled the ball away just outside

1268
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: of the thirty hard line and then Cincinnati went down

1269
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: and kicked a field goal of their own. The way

1270
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: you can look at those things and say that is

1271
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: the reason Tangerby, but there's so much that goes beyond

1272
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: that that shows that the team's kind of playing this

1273
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: weird game of whack amole where you know, when you

1274
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: hit your hand on the defense to get that to

1275
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: like stop popping its head up, then the offense pops

1276
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: up and when you hit put your in on that,

1277
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: then the special teams issues start becoming more apparent. So

1278
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 1: it just hasn't felt they've been totally in sync from

1279
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: top to bottom these first two weeks. And you know,

1280
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: that's very much, in my opinion, the reason that they

1281
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 1: are into. I like that comparison, the whackamle. That's that's

1282
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 1: good stuff. Well, let me ask you about Kirk because

1283
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: he's you know, I've always admired his completion percentages. It's

1284
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: always so good. What kind of a leader is he

1285
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: at Courdney. You know, it's interesting because Zim said today

1286
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: when I asked him about the first two weeks, because

1287
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: you really cannot point at either loss and say that's

1288
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: Kirk cousins fault. He did this wrong, he did that wrong,

1289
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: and it's that's the reason they lost the game. Truthfully,

1290
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been one of the bright spots for them.

1291
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: And I know that the offense in general came into

1292
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the season as the question mark. Like we knew we

1293
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: were going to get out of Kirk Cousins, but you know,

1294
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: the offense and the sample size, just like how poorly

1295
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: they played in the preseason, not knowing what the offensive

1296
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: line was going to look like, et cetera, et cetera,

1297
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: that was a big unknown. But you know, with Kirk,

1298
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I think the same that you've really been impressed by

1299
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: with him in these last two games is the position

1300
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: that he had the team in to win the games

1301
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: at the end, Like the drive in Arizona this past week,

1302
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: when you know, get the ball down to the nineteen

1303
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: yard line, they call a time out. Kirk was telling

1304
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: us after the game that he wished he would have

1305
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, they would have gotten a little bit closer,

1306
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: which you know, typically that's a little bit more dangerous

1307
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: just in terms of I mean maybe you go down

1308
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: and score who knows, because you did had about forty

1309
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: four seconds there. But you know, who knows if you

1310
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: get closer with kicking a field goal from that close,

1311
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: typically the percentages aren't really really great. But nonetheless, he

1312
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: put them in position to win in Arizona with where

1313
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: he got them field position wise, he put them in

1314
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: position in overtime, and then obviously the fumble costs them that.

1315
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: So I think that Kirk has played really well. And

1316
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: the interesting thing was what I asked my Zimmer about

1317
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: today and he brought up unprompted, is that he's impressed

1318
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: by Kirk's leadership this year, which doesn't sound like a

1319
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 1: lot just because of you know, the relationship between head

1320
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: coach in quarterback has definitely felt strained because of you know,

1321
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the COVID stuff this season and everything else that kind

1322
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: of factors into you know, the success of the order

1323
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: back and you know, the head coach being very much

1324
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: tied into that. But I think what Zim was getting

1325
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: at is that he, you know, all these years in

1326
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: four years in now of him leading the offense like

1327
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: he's the guy he you know, he's that franchise leader

1328
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: that they needed. Like in previous situations, maybe he would

1329
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: have shied away from galvanized in the locker room, but

1330
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 1: now he is that guy, and I think you're seeing

1331
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 1: that payoff and it's you know, those moments and critical

1332
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: moments at the fourth quarter. But that's that's pretty tangible,

1333
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: I think to this team and just the position that

1334
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: Kirkus Hapeman Courney. There's a couple of really big injury

1335
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: new pieces of nuggets here that for the Vikings that

1336
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: are I think important for Seahawks fans to know who

1337
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: has the best chance of returning for the Vikings that

1338
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: are key players. And then is there any injury issues

1339
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: right now at the Vikings that anybody where you guys

1340
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: are at are worried about. You know, it's interesting because

1341
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr was at practice today and he hasn't We

1342
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: haven't seen him really since since August go through a

1343
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: full practice. He's got a knee issue. They've been, you know,

1344
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: kind of one step forward, five steps back with him,

1345
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: and I think you would be hard pressed the way

1346
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: that Nick Vigil is playing right now to take him

1347
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: out of the lineup when you're in your nickel defense.

1348
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: So I'm really curious to see if Bar can get through.

1349
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: We'll get the insury report here soon. To see how

1350
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: much he did. I would imagine he was limited in

1351
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: his first day back. But I do think that there's

1352
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: reason to believe that they're going to try to go

1353
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: slow with Barr on this thing, because it sounds like

1354
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: it's a chronic maybe maybe even like an arthritic condition

1355
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: that he's dealing with in his right knee. But outside

1356
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: of him, I mean, Christon Griffin was in the concussion protocol.

1357
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Teams don't have to announce whether you're cleared or not.

1358
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just kind of a given, depending upon

1359
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 1: like how much you're practicing. But he was out there today,

1360
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine he'll be listed as limited. That's a

1361
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: big part of their pass rush, just because of the

1362
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: situational role that he's back here. And when you face

1363
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson, you need as much help as you

1364
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: can get from the guys up front. So I mean,

1365
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: those are the two big ones. I still think Christian

1366
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: dai Saw is probably a week or two at minimum

1367
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: away from even contending to take over that left tackle spot,

1368
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: just because you know, Mike Zimmer said, this is going

1369
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: to be a long process with the rookie left tackle.

1370
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Usually a long process is more than a couple of weeks,

1371
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: so we will see about that. But it was a

1372
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: good sign again he was out there practicing. Today. She

1373
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: has ESPN Vikings reporter Courtney Cronin. She's also got a

1374
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: really fascinating article you guys on the Vikings kicking woes.

1375
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: It's really really interesting. I just retweeted it, Courtney, and

1376
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: good stuff obviously with this article. And we really enjoyed

1377
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 1: your preview with us. Helps us understand a bit more

1378
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: about this Minnesota team. Thanks so much. Yeah, thank you

1379
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: guys for having me see out there. Take care all right. Again,

1380
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: that was ESPN Vikings reporter Courtney Cronin for an opponent

1381
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: preview there. Shoot, I wish I would have gotten in

1382
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: a question about in Jefferson and kJ Osbourne because I

1383
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: was expecting Jefferson to be leading this team with receptions

1384
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: in yards. Very curious about the start to the season

1385
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: for those two guys. But alas, we are going back

1386
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to some final Seahawks thoughts and we'll take a look

1387
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: at this team where they are now that we have

1388
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: all of the information during the course of our two

1389
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: hour huddle, and we'll look ahead to week three. It's

1390
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: coming your way next This is the huddle with Dave Wyman,

1391
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross. We are getting you guys

1392
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: ready for the Seahawks Week three game. This one's on

1393
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Vikings oh and two.

1394
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: But we learned plenty more, not just about the Vikings,

1395
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: but also looking back at Tennessee that loss in week

1396
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: two to learn a bit more about what the Seahawks

1397
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: need to do. So upon reflection, we'll have some final

1398
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: thoughts here and I'll get us started with mine, though, Dave,

1399
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna want to elaborate a bit more

1400
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: on mine. Mine is kind of the biggest takeaway is

1401
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins not really at fault for those two

1402
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: losses so far. For the Vikings. When I did my

1403
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: own preview and I'm looking at all these names and

1404
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm writing them down, Dalvin Cook got circled. Justin Jefferson,

1405
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: You've got circled even though he's not leading the team

1406
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: with receiving yards right now, a guy like Eric Kendricks

1407
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: on defense. But we spoke with Courtney Cronin, a Viking

1408
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: supporter for ESPN, who said, you know what, Kirk Cousins

1409
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: has played really well so far not at fault for

1410
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: those losses and has been a bright spot. So I

1411
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: think he's can be quite a bit more dangerous than

1412
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: people give him credit for him. Well, you look at

1413
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: his numbers. I mean, and look again, going back to

1414
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: he's one of two I think players in NFL history

1415
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: to finish a full season with over seventy percent completion Jake,

1416
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's I can I really don't

1417
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: care that much about quarterbacks, so I typically don't pay all.

1418
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 1: I could try to confirm that for you, but no,

1419
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean five touchdown, zero interception. Yeah, he hasn't made

1420
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. And you know, you go and

1421
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: look at I was watching the Cincinnati game. I don't

1422
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: know that that was a fumble, and you know it

1423
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: was like two minutes. Man, they were inside the fifty

1424
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: yard line, they're driving, and then you know it wasn't

1425
01:08:55,360 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: super clear that Dalvin Cook interset or fumble. So but yeah,

1426
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: and then you know, you look on their defense, they've

1427
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: got some very talented guys. She was talking about Nick

1428
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Vigil and how maybe they weren't going to bring back

1429
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr necessarily and he's playing really well. Nick Vigil

1430
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: is and you know, and Eric Hendricks is one of

1431
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: the best linebackers against the pass. The guy always has

1432
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: like ten twelve passes, knockdown gets picks. You know, we

1433
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: saw how tough they are Harrison Smith last year. Patrick

1434
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Peterson's there now, So yeah, this is a good this

1435
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: is a good team coming in here. Man. It's I mean,

1436
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 1: they're not coming in here. We're going in there. And

1437
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: that's I was thinking about last year when they came

1438
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: in and they were lucky to win that game. Yeah,

1439
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they had to make a lot of

1440
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 1: That was the one probably you needed the most. Okay,

1441
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: So there was a third down stop that I think

1442
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: Benson Mayoa was in on which was unbelievable. They it

1443
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,720
Speaker 1: was a reverse to Jesse Thielan and they both ran

1444
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: all the way over there. I think it was him

1445
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: and Demontre Moore and hit him out of bounds. Wasn't

1446
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: it just barely short? Yeah? I mean it was like

1447
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: if they hadn't hustled, it would have been a first

1448
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: down and the game was over. Then they stopped him

1449
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: on fourth down. Then Russ has a fourth and ten

1450
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: that he picks up, and then the touchdown pass was

1451
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: a fourth down. Correct, Yes, So I mean they could

1452
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: have easily lost that game. And again Madison went on

1453
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 1: a tear running for one hundred and twelve yards. I

1454
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: think Cook had you know, forty or fifty before he

1455
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: got hurt. But that's to me, the defense has to

1456
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: They got to stop the run, and you know they're

1457
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 1: going to have to be really physical, and there was

1458
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot of breakdowns last week. So we'll see how

1459
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: that goes. But I think that's job one going in.

1460
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: It is job one, no question about that. And this

1461
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: is the unique part and all the conversation that has

1462
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: happened around how the Seahawks won, how the Seahawks offense

1463
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: has operated. The one thing that you don't want to

1464
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: discourage is their ability to start fast. You don't want

1465
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: to discourage the killer instinct that they've had at the

1466
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: beginning of games. What you do want to be better

1467
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: at is sustaining drives and being better keeping that time

1468
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: of possession in the second half and being able to

1469
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: march and continue to keep putting points up on the

1470
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: board or at least maintain that time of possession convert

1471
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: on third downs. Those are going to be key critical

1472
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: situational issues that you look at for the Seahawks offense

1473
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 1: that they have to do, and if they can fix

1474
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: some of those things, it makes them extremely tough to stop.

1475
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: Who are one or two players that become maybe the

1476
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: most important guys in this game for you. I know

1477
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: it's a team sport, but for instance, I'm looking at

1478
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: stop in Dalvin Cook. Suddenly you're looking at that defensive

1479
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 1: line once again. Yeah, I would say, linebacker's got to

1480
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: play downhill. You know, I don't have to be really physical.

1481
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: You can't. You know, you can't just make a tackle,

1482
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, six seven, eight yards downfield. It's got to

1483
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: be at the line of scrimmage. So you know, I

1484
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 1: always put on linebackers just because I was a linebacker

1485
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: D line, you know, I mean the big guys up front.

1486
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: I thought al Woods had a really good game. We

1487
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: were talking about Brian Money not being there, but Alwood's

1488
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: more than made up for it, I thought, with a

1489
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: sack and a couple of the and he was battling

1490
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: in there. Do you see like his pads are flow. Yeah,

1491
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: his jersey's all twisted around like inside his chip like yeah,

1492
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: in the middle of his chest. I see, much like

1493
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: offensive lineman when defensive tackles in particular, get really involved

1494
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: in a play. It just like it makes you really like, yeah,

1495
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 1: let's go, you're fired up. Alwood's number ninety, He's yeah,

1496
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: I think he's number ninety. It was like the zero

1497
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: was on the other side. It was like, oh nine.

1498
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just he was battling in there.

1499
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I thought, yeah, Brian money is great,

1500
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: but I thought Alwood's more than you know, made up

1501
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: for it. But you know they're gonna need all hands

1502
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: on deck this week because you know, like I said,

1503
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 1: these the runs d album Cook is incredibly explosive. And

1504
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: then I just think they have a good running game

1505
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: in general because they can plug whoever in like they

1506
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: did last year. And he's gonna get yards too. Yeah.

1507
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: The two, I mean, you look at the defensive focus

1508
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,719
Speaker 1: from Dave. I mean, I'll obviously focus on the offense

1509
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: and the two areas that I think the two people

1510
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: I would say a group and then and then one player.

1511
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: The first thing is when you talk about the run game,

1512
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: people like to say, oh, you didn't get enough carries,

1513
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: and that is true, but the reason why that also

1514
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: didn't happen was because you were not successful in that

1515
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: run game. The offensive line really struggled on the interior.

1516
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 1: They got to take into him and guess what, They're

1517
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: gonna go up against a really good interior defensive line

1518
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. So you've got to fix whatever the

1519
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: issues were in a hurry and get yourself back on track.

1520
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis, Kyle Fuller, and Gabe Jackson, you've got to

1521
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: get that fixed. And then the other part person you

1522
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: point to is Russell Wilson. Right when the game is

1523
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: on the line, when you have an opportunity to win

1524
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 1: the game, more often than not, you were gonna love

1525
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: handing the ball off to Russell Wilson and say, hey,

1526
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: go win us this game. He's gonna win it for

1527
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 1: you more times than not. He didn't come through against

1528
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans the way that everybody would want him to,

1529
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: and so Russ has got to be better in this game,

1530
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 1: particularly on third downs, and if that situation arises. He

1531
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: did it last year against Minnesota. Can he do it again?

1532
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Can he fix that? I think that those that's the

1533
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: areas of focus that I'm going to be paying attention to.

1534
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Oh Woods worth ninety nine. So it

1535
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: didn't really matter which side. Well, the point is that

1536
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of the nine was tucked up so it

1537
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: looked like a ninety, It looked like two sixes. Yeah,

1538
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: they was getting what you were saying. You could basically

1539
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: see his pecks, that's how much his jersey and his

1540
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: pads were all jumbled up in the middle of his body.

1541
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 1: But the thing I kept feeling for him was they

1542
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: kept those guys on the field al Woods didn't. I

1543
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: mean he was on the field a lot. Yeah, and

1544
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: he was. He was out there and he was given

1545
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: his best effort. Man, I mean, hats off to him. Look,

1546
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: we have two minutes left here, so two minute drill.

1547
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: I want to be able to end on kind of

1548
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: an exciting note for fans that want to turn back

1549
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: from a really heartbreaking loss against Tennessee and look ahead

1550
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: to a good weekend of football. So I'm not going

1551
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: to make anyone do a score prediction. But is this

1552
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: a winnable game for Seattle? Of course yeah. I mean

1553
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: I think they can win any game. And you look

1554
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: at and we're going to talk about this on our show.

1555
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: You know how many starters are there from this defense

1556
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: that would be you know how many teams do they

1557
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: start on and you know, I think they have enough talent.

1558
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: It's just about playing together so and certainly the offense

1559
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: and the way they operated in Indianapolis that and they

1560
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: travel well. I mean they've been really good on the

1561
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: on the road the last few years. I mean, look

1562
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: at there were seven and one in twenty nineteen and

1563
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: the early time slot, which this is not by the way,

1564
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 1: it's a later game, but still, I think they travel

1565
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 1: well and you know, their backs are up against the

1566
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: wall a little bit. Yep, I fully agree. I think

1567
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: this is a totally winnable game for the Seahawks, and

1568
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: they are one of the more talented teams in the NFL.

1569
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: It's just about taking care of business. It's about playing

1570
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: complimentary football. And as Dave said, I think that they're

1571
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the defense has an incredible task. Like I said this

1572
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: last week with the Tennessee Titans, the defense has a

1573
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: very difficult task on their hands and we'll see if

1574
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 1: they can play hero in this game. All right. Again,

1575
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: the Seahawks Week three opponent is going to be the

1576
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings that is going to be on the road

1577
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: at US Base Stadium against Kirk Cousins and Crewe, it'll

1578
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: be a tough one. I think that's one thing we've

1579
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: learned today from the huddle. But another thing we learned

1580
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: in our sum up here is that the Seahawks are

1581
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: certainly a talented enough team. They can and should be

1582
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: able to take this one if they're able to execute,

1583
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 1: able to play together. Just like Dave said, so this

1584
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: has been the huddle, getting you guys ready with the

1585
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: two hour preview for the game. I hope you guys

1586
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: all enjoy this one. Let's hope they can come out

1587
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: with the W this time. For Dave Wyman, for Jay Keeps,

1588
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm Stacy Ross. This has been the huddle. Will talk

1589
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: to you guys next Thursday.
