Speaker 1: a PCR or rapid test as long as it's verified

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: by a lab. So again, a lot of information. There,

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: a lot of info, and I know it's a lot,

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: but I'll be repeating it to you guys so that

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: you have it. By the way, if you're bringing kids,

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: any fans under twelve, they are not required to have

33
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: a negative test results, so they're fine. A reminder on masks,

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: your fans are required to wear masks at all times,

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: regardless of vaccination status. All right, that's a mouthful, and

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: now let's jump into the preview for Week two. It's

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: going to be the Titans at lumin Field against the Seahawks. Wyman,

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: I'll start with you. The Titans opened as probably a

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: favorite in the AFC to certainly be a contender to

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: certainly win their division, and they were throttled in all

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: three phases by the Cardinals. Yeah, they weren't ready, and

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: we talked to some people back in Tennessee, and you know,

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: one of the things was their offensive line. Taylor Luan

44
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: was the left tackle. He didn't play because eleven months

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: ago he had an acl and so they had to

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: have Quisonberry play the left tackle, who is typically the

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: right tackle, and so they didn't have that continuity. They

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: also had a couple of their offensive linemen that had

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: COVID issues, so they weren't able to practice and you know,

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: get ready the way that they that they normally would,

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and then they just got punched in the mouth by

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. The very first play of the game,

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones jumps inside of Taylor Luan and tackles Derrick

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: Henry for a three yard loss. And he had nine

55
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: carries for eight yards in the first half. Derrick Henry,

56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: this is the guy run for two thousand yards last year,

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: one of eight people in the NFL history to have

58
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: run for over two thousand yards. And you know, in

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: the second half, I think he ended up with fifty

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: eight because he had around fifty yards in the second

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: half on eight carries. But yeah, it's it was just

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to somebody back in Tennessee and they go, hey,

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: thanks for taking care of the Colts, and I said, hey,

64
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I wish you could have returned the favor because Arizona

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: getting off to you know, I didn't know how to

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: feel about that game because you're thinking, well, the Titans

67
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: are tough, and they're coming in here. They're obviously struggling.

68
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: But I didn't like seeing Arizona have that much success there.

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: But we'll get to them later down the road, but

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: we will. I still think. You know, look, I think

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people will say kind of over exaggerate that, oh,

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: they're going to be angry, and you know I would say, well,

73
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: I was always angry, So I mean, I don't know

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: that that matters. I think you'd rather play a team

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: that's coming off a bad performance than a really good one.

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: But you know, this is a team that's physical and

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: it starts from the top down. Their coach vybel the

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: guys like talk to back there, said Mike Rabel had

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: to be bleeped like five times in his press conference

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: because he wasn't happy. So yeah, I think they're they're

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: probably going to be They're gonna be ready to roll.

82
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that they got Derrick Henry,

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: they got to our version of DK Metcalf and A. J. Brown,

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: and they got Julio Jones, who's good for about ninety

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: five yards a game in his career as far as

86
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: reception yards go. Yeah, this is gonna be a tough challenge.

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: And this is something that I was really shocked to

88
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: see with that performance against the Arizona Cardinals because defensively,

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I did anticipate them being a weaker unit again like

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: they were the year prior. They didn't make a ton

91
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: of changes. That made me think that, man, this group

92
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: is definitely better than where they were a year ago.

93
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: So that was something to keep an eye on. They

94
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: did bring in Bud Dupree from the Pittsburgh Steelers. He'll

95
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: be a better pass rusher than what they had, but

96
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: he was a non factor really in that game last week.

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: But it does come down to the offense. And so

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: that's why I believe when you look at this game,

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, Dave, you can correct me if if you

100
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: had differently, but I really feel that this is a

101
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: huge challenge and task for the Seahawks defense. And if

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense can can show up and come ready

103
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: for the challenge starting with Derrick Henry, which is one

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: of the more difficult tasks in the NFL. To shut

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: that guy down. This becomes a very favorable matchup for

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Yeah, and you know, getting over to the

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: offensive side. Since you talk defense, I'll talk offense. Jake.

108
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I had to get my permission from Jake to do

109
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: my football one on one. I'm like, can I please

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: just have one offensive ask permission? I'm like, what are

111
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: you asking me for? Of course, well you're the offensive guru.

112
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: Nice of you to give him one of four touchdowns. Yeah,

113
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: very said, can I have something? He's like, okay, you

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: can have lot. I had. I had them, you know,

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: all all huddled together like you couldn't you know, they're press.

116
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: You can take one of Tyler's one of Tyler's. Yeah,

117
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: So Jay keeps in the film room football one on one.

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: We got it covered. So it did a little offensive stuff,

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: but I thought offensively great balance, Like everybody was happy

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: they ran the ball Pete. That makes Pete happy. Twenty

121
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: seven cares. Yeah, I love what they what we saw

122
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: at Chris Carson. The other thing was just how Russell

123
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: distributed the ball. I mean, it's well the way you

124
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: should think. You would think it would go right. Five

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: targets to Metcalf, five targets to lock it, and then

126
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: it went three three three to Everett, Disley and Carson.

127
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: One of those got nullified because of a penalty, but

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: there was a twenty yard reception that Everett had that

129
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: got called back because of an illegal formation. And by

130
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't see a ton of that. You know,

131
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: they didn't cover the end line or the tackle, but

132
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, with all the shifting and motioning and everything,

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: five penalties in the first half, but then they corrected

134
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: it only two in the second half, so there wasn't

135
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't a lot of buffoonery as far

136
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: as you know, the whole you know, getting guys off

137
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: sides of things like that. But I just thought the

138
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: way they distributed that Russell never looked like he was

139
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: in a panic. He never looked like he was distressed,

140
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: and that's so different from last year. I feel like

141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the year especially, he just lots

142
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: of times he didn't know where to go with the ball.

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: He knew exactly where to go, and then a couple

144
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: of times he took off run in, which was great.

145
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought I thought the offense got off

146
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: to a great start. We've got so much of the

147
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: show to continue to preview. Will Disley's going to join

148
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: us next. Ryan Neil will join us. After that, we'll

149
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: talk with John Boyle, a reporter about some of these injuries. So,

150
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: given that so much of the show is going to

151
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: be about this game in particular, I want to just

152
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: take like three minutes to focus on one aspect of

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: the game that later on in the show we won't

154
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: talk about as much, which is the return of fans

155
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: to Loominfield for the first time in a year. Dave,

156
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: I know that you were on the call with Rabes

157
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: for all of these home games, and it was surreal

158
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: to watch the games with no fans. The only thing

159
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I did like was you could hear the players complaining

160
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: to the officials. Chat was funny. There was an I

161
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: can't remember I almost said elderly. He was a veteran player,

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: an elderly player the Cowboys that you could hear him going,

163
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, you know, yelling at the official.

164
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was cool. You can hear the crack

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the pads. But it was just so empty, man. I

166
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: mean it was cool here and the guys all cheer,

167
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: but you know, if the fans had been in there.

168
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Um Cam Newton's fourth down stop, um o. The sack

169
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray against Arizona, yep. How about Ryan Neil

170
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: who were going to talk to his interception in the

171
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: end zone against the Cowboys. I mean, there was a

172
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: there was a safety against the Cowboys. I mean, but

173
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: this Jamal Adams hasn't entered a stadium with fans for

174
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Yeah, you know, well, well that's right, just

175
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: down in Miami. Yeah, he wasn't there. Yeah, you're right. Um,

176
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, there were so many things that that were great.

177
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,239
Speaker 1: What about the Minnesota game A fourth and ten completion

178
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: completion was the touchdown throw a fourth Yeah, and the

179
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks had stopped him on third and fourth down the

180
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: the series prior to that. So yeah, there were so

181
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: many great moments that just would have been so loud.

182
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: I think they would have broken records last year. It

183
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: was and that's what I kept thinking last year as

184
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: as we're reacting and pumped for what we were witnessing

185
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: in the game. I just thought to myself how much

186
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: bigger these moments would have been with the fans in

187
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: the stands and being able to see that interaction. And

188
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: so I'm super fired up to watch this. I'm super

189
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: fired up to have the Twelves back in luhman Field

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: and to see a lot of guys who haven't played

191
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: in front of the Twelves. Carlos Dunlap, Jamal Adams, you

192
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: look at Daryl Taylor, Jordan Brooks. I mean, there's just

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that have not had that experience

194
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: defensively and what that will feel like to them, and

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: having the Twelves in there is an advantage, especially on

196
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. So I just can't

197
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: wait to see that energy, that enthusiasm, that excitement between

198
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: the players and the fans. It's a special relationship, all right,

199
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: tight end. We'll Disley going to join us next. After that,

200
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Neil will come on with us. Then we've got

201
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: some injuries to look out for this team. We got

202
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a good show for you. It's the huddle. Don't go anywhere, alright.

203
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: A phenomenal game from Seattle's offense. We'll be joined here

204
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: in justic couple of minutes by Will Disley. You're listening

205
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps and Stacy Ross. Yes,

206
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna be looking ahead to week two. But also

207
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: what a start to the season for Seattle on the

208
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: road against a tough team and you have a really

209
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: solid day from the defensive line from Russell Wilson, from

210
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: the receivers from Chris Carson. I mean that play especially

211
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: by Will Disley. Dave, I know you love that one.

212
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Oh Man just slam the guy to the ground. Yeah,

213
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Uncle Will. He's such a nice guy, you know, Yes,

214
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: he is. You know, one of the characteristics about him

215
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: that I love. He's one of the very few athletes

216
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: like I ran into him down in Vegas and we're

217
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: walking through the hotel. He asked me like fifty questions.

218
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, so, so what are you doing or

219
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Did you would you do this offseason?

220
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean usually the lawyers, Yeah, yeah, and so yeah,

221
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: I just I love Will. He's he's a great blocker.

222
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: I thought. Also we found out something that maybe was

223
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: a question mark. Gerald Everett can block. He had a

224
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: couple of blocks in that game that I was like, Okay,

225
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: this guy cam block. That's I thought I'll question him

226
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: because he's a smaller guy. I mean, he's probably a

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than DK Metcalf, but more of a

228
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: receiver size and great hands. He catches a touchdown. I

229
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: know he's frustrated about the twenty yard or he got

230
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: that got called back, but and and he caught everything

231
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: that was thrown to him and so plus he can block,

232
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: So it was really nice to see that. And yeah,

233
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: I think, you know, two of my favorite players are

234
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Will Desley and Chris Carson, where I think if they

235
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: can just stay healthy and if you just get him

236
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, Carson, the formula to me anyway

237
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: is eighteen carries. Get him eighteen carries a game. He's

238
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: going to get you a thousand yards because that's what

239
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: his history says. And then Disley if he can. You know,

240
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: he only got twenty nine targets last year. And I

241
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: know they had Greg Olson and all that, but I

242
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: just I felt like if they targeted him more, I mean,

243
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you throw it to him, he's going to catch it.

244
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: And he's also kind of a touchdown machine. Yeah, speaking

245
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: of the lack of targets over all, the tight ends

246
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I felt were underutilized as a whole last season. And Jake,

247
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I know you've talked about it, Wyman, I know you

248
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: and Bob have talked about it. I know that it's

249
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: one game, but it feels already like there's more of

250
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: an emphasis. I mean, on that touchdown drive for Everett,

251
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: you had Disley and Everett involved there. Yeah, I've told

252
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: you guys, this offensive system is going to use the

253
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: tight ends. Why Because it's in the DNA of where

254
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Shane Waldron came from. And it is also in the

255
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: DNA of this offense to have a more sophisticated short

256
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: to intermediate pass game. Who does that benefit that benefits

257
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: tight ends? Who does that benefit Dave's guy Will Disley? Right?

258
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: It just one of the things that really was hard

259
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: for the tight ends to get involved over the last

260
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: nine seasons is that this offense was so much of

261
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: a vertical down the field pass game that it was

262
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: difficult to get tight ends involved consistently enough. And Disley

263
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: is one of those guys that I think can totally

264
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: dominate the middle intermediate aspect of the field, and when

265
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: you give him those opportunities, he's gonna catch it. Not

266
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: only is he gonna catch it, but he's got niki

267
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: run after catchability. It's not because of the gracefulness, it's

268
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: because he's a bulldog out there. When he gets the

269
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, as he showed, he just shoves

270
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: people off of him. He bounces off people. He's truly

271
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: allowed to tackle out there. Then you add Gerald Everett,

272
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: who really is this chess piece that you can move

273
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: around and utilize and utilize him in tight end screens

274
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: and outside perimeter screens. These two guys present a very

275
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: unique challenge for defense is if you can get them involved. Wyman,

276
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: you've defended obviously that part of the field before, and

277
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've faced your share of really tough tight

278
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: ends as well and running backs. And that's kind of

279
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: the battle I'm sure Seattle hopes to put on other

280
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: teams with guys like dis league, guys like Carson. What

281
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: were I guess some of the challenges with the most

282
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: successful versions of that that you saw. Well, one of

283
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: the things like using the running back for example, you

284
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: know you hit him with a checkdown, that's a four

285
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: yard pass that goes through the air. A guy that

286
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Carson's gonna get your three four at least, and how

287
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: many times was he stopped or in negative yardage situations?

288
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: I think is I think his shortest run was three yards,

289
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: but it looked like you should have been tackled for

290
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: a one yard loss. He's so good at that, so

291
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you get a guy like that

292
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: out in space, he'd much rather start there with like

293
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe a linebacker or a corner or something than a

294
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: whole defensive front in front of you, you know. So

295
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: you look at the averages, it's always like seven or

296
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per catch for him, you know, and as

297
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: you're doing great if you run at four and a

298
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: half five, you know, as far as your average goes

299
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: running the ball. So that's where I think they're using them.

300
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: And if they're safe passes, you know, I guess there's

301
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: no safe passes, totally safe passes, but some averse. Yeah,

302
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: less risk. It's not like you're you're throwing it down field,

303
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, why not? So I like that Again, I

304
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: thought the whole thing, if you look at it, Russ

305
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: never looked like he was in a panic or in

306
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: a desperate situation. He always had somewhere to go, So

307
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: that was, Yeah, I think I think the number three

308
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: receiver as far as attempts, is going to either be

309
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: a tight end or a running back. Would love to

310
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: see that, certainly. You'd hope to see obviously dsk Bridge

311
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: involved more rookie wide receiver, but would love to see

312
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends involved. Speaking of Will Disley joining us

313
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: right now, I don't want to steal Wyman's question for you, Will,

314
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: but I have to ask it. Anyways, he was so pumped,

315
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: as were fans that were there at the game, Seahawks

316
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: fans in Tennessee to see that stiff arm that you gave.

317
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, had that feel in the moment walk us

318
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: through it. Yeah, I mean it was. It was a

319
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: good checkdown and we were kind of rolling there in

320
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: the in the second half and made a play, got

321
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: a first down, kept the drive going, and yeah, it

322
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: was really just a fun day. You know, It's a

323
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of highlights from everyone around the offense and um,

324
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, just ready to go this week now put

325
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: them all on tape. Well this is Jake, I mean,

326
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: come on, man, don't downplay that. You were just straight

327
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: up disrespectful to that defender. You were me shoving him

328
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: off the side, and then you see it in SlowMo.

329
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: Don't know if it felt like that to you in

330
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the moment, but you kind of stared at him as

331
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: you saw him go by and then took off. I

332
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: mean that was that was That was pretty tough, dude.

333
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah, No, it's gonna be back. I

334
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: mean game one. He's kind of you know, when you're

335
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: going through the week, you just envisioned those plays and

336
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: then have it happened. You know, it was kind of fun.

337
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you guys, well this uh,

338
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, one of the other things that was really

339
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: fun is to see this offense and to see the

340
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: multiplicity of it, to see the creativity of it, and

341
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: to get the tight ends involved. I mean it was

342
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: awesome to see. Um, how do you guys feel as

343
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: a whole coming out of that game? Oh? We feel great.

344
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Jared and I came out, you know, healthy,

345
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: and tylm Maybory got, you know, his first experience in

346
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, and you know at the unit, you know,

347
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: we just kind of build off each other and we're

348
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: all trying to make plays and um, you know, g

349
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: found the end zone and I'll get a couple of

350
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: balls and then we'll get Tyler catch here down the road.

351
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: So you know, all and all the offense kind of

352
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: asked you as we wanted to, and um, we can

353
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: still get better, no doubt about. You know, there's definitely

354
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: some plays we can clean up and be a better offense,

355
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: which is a scary part. You know, everyone everyone made plays,

356
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: Everyone was explosive, and you know we're just you know,

357
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: we're excited to go do it again on Sunday. Will,

358
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to be really honest with you. Moment of

359
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: honesty just between the two of us, is I had

360
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: my doubts as to whether or not with a new

361
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator or a new playbook, you guys would have

362
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: such a seamless execution of it. And I know that

363
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: you guys know the things that you want to do better.

364
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: For fans watching, it seemed pretty smooth from the outside.

365
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, how do you feel about what this

366
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: offense can do this year? Did it feel like taking

367
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: in a whole new playbook or did it feel like

368
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: just fixing a few things here and there. Shane brought

369
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: a lot of newness, you know, a lot of the

370
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: old stuff that you know we've done really well, for

371
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: a long time stay in the playbook obviously, but Shane

372
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: just brings a new twist and new coaching style, brought

373
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: Andy along and hand and Mike Selari doing a great

374
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: job with the run game, and everything kind of marries itself. So, uh,

375
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: we were really excited to get ahold of the playbook,

376
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: get rolling, you know, fall camp. I think there were

377
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: some ebbs and flows of the newness and whatnot, but um,

378
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, we were really excited. You know, game one

379
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: on the road against a really good defense who um

380
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: took the ball away a lot last year, so to

381
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: go out and compete like we did, you know, it

382
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: was a really great start. You know, we're not satisfied.

383
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep going and keep working for sure. You know.

384
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: One of the things that was talked about is, you know,

385
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: I think this was Gerald Everett, you know, post game

386
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: was saying that, hey, our offense is just getting started.

387
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: There's there's a whole lot more you know coming your

388
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: guys this way. Just you watch, and that's one thing

389
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: to hear from them, from you guys who are excited

390
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: about what you guys can do. But you know, how

391
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: much is there? How much more is there in this

392
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: playbook that you guys just didn't get a chance to

393
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: to to show off here in this this game against

394
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: the Colts. Yeah, I mean I think there is a

395
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: ton left in the tank, which is the cool part about.

396
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: Obviously I can't tell you or the radio what we

397
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: haven't store for those teams coming down the line, but uh,

398
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of explosive this coming. Um. You know

399
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are going to have an opportunity

400
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: to have breakout games. And you know, it's kind of

401
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: just the beauty of our offense. We can just take

402
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: what the defense gives us, you know what the playmakers

403
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: that we have, you know, week to week, it's it's

404
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: gonna be predicated on what the defense allows us to

405
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: do and not do. And you know, at the end

406
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: of the day, our goal is to win the game.

407
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go out there. We're gonna work with

408
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: high faceency ands for a lot of points and try

409
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: and help our team, you know, win that last game. Yes,

410
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: tight end Will Disley, Will, thanks so much for joining us.

411
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: Good luck this Sunday. I appreciate you. Oh get him, Will?

412
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: All right? Our player interview is not done. Defensive back

413
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Neil going to join us next on the huddle.

414
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. This is the huddle with Dave Wyman,

415
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: Jay Keeps and Stacy Ross to getting you guys ready

416
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks Week two game against the Titans. By

417
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: the way, that's also the first or it's the home

418
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: opener for the Seahawks in the first game at Lumen

419
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: Field as a Lumen Field and also be in like

420
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: more than a year, which is wild. As a reminder,

421
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna get so sick of me reminding

422
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: you about this, but I don't want you to get

423
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: there and forget it. Do not forget your mask. Regardless

424
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: of whether or not you're vaccinated. You will need your

425
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: mask in the facility, obviously, except when when you're eating

426
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: or drinking. But do not forget your mask at all.

427
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna remind you. I'm gonna keep being your nagging friend.

428
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: That's reminding you, guys. When we're looking at this Tennessee

429
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Titans offense, I know they didn't have the best outing

430
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals defense. Chandler Jones had five sacks, which

431
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: is wild, but they do have a ton of weapons.

432
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry A. J. Brown, You have Julio Jones. You have,

433
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean a good offensive line, at least pieces of it.

434
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: They didn't look like it in this past game, but

435
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: they are good. We're gonna be joined by Ryan Neil

436
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: in just a bit. So I want to talk about

437
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: the role the safeties are going to have, but let's

438
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: just expand it to the secondary as a whole. Cornerbacks

439
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: are a question for this game. They have strength at safety. Jake,

440
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: I'll start with you for this one. We'll just kind

441
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: of go back and forth here with like what they

442
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: need to do in this one. What's the key for

443
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: specifically the secondary? The secondary for the Seahawks. I think

444
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: that when you're talking about this group, the communication has

445
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: to be really strong. You have to be on your

446
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: p's and ques when it comes to not just AJ

447
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: Brown and Julio Jones, but also the play action game.

448
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: There were a couple of times that I saw in

449
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: the game, just little examples, and ultimately it didn't hurt them,

450
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: but you could see that there were moments where Jamal

451
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Adams bit too hard on a play action fake, which

452
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: then puts the corner in a bind and cover three.

453
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: Because Jamal Adams is supposed to have the flat and

454
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: DJ Reid is deep over the top and his deep third,

455
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: but he has to play in between. So those are

456
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: the little things from a defensive perspective that you have

457
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: to work within cohesion so that you don't put other

458
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: guys in stressful situations. Yeah, I was thinking about one

459
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: of the deep crossers. It was the one where Quandre

460
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: Diggs comes up and just wallops the receiver almost knocks

461
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: the ball loops. Yeah, so underneath droppers got to help

462
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: him out there. Yeah, all right, and to help us,

463
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I guess take a look at what the secondary can

464
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: do in this one and kind of they outlook for

465
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: the year. Speaking to a member of the secondary himself,

466
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: it's defensive back Ryan Neil, Ryan, how are you. I'm

467
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: doing great? Like how you guys doing fantastic. We're really

468
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: excited to see you guys play at home for the

469
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: home opener. And Ryan Dave mentioned this, Dave woman, and

470
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: it reminded me. Obviously you didn't have fans at Loumanfield

471
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: last year, and there were so many moments that fans

472
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: didn't get a seat, and one of them was your

473
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: interception of Dak Prescott when you guys faced the Cowboys

474
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: at home. It was such a cool moment for your team.

475
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: Guys were erupting on the sidelines, but no fans. Are

476
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: you excited to finally play in front of them? Man?

477
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: Heck yeah, I'm excited to play in front of them.

478
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean my first year when I got here before COVID,

479
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean just seeing the magic of you know, the stadium,

480
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: the field, the fans all in one. It was just incredible.

481
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: Like I always referenced the Thursday night game against the Rams.

482
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: We were wearing all green and they came down to

483
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: a field goal and you know, Jay Mott made it

484
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: and just hearing that place he Rubb just kind of

485
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: stuck with me for a long time. And I was

486
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: on to practice squad at the time, So I just

487
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: tell guys all the time, like, man, this is gonna

488
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: be you know, it's gonna be fun. Man. I just

489
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: really can't wait to see that energer you come back

490
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: to life, when the magic come back. So I'm definitely excited. Yeah,

491
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: and Ryan, you know, I think it was like seven plays.

492
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: You might be the guy that has the most picks

493
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: in the least amount of time, because I want to

494
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: say it was like the next game against Miami. It

495
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: was the first series maybe where you got that interception.

496
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: I think it was the first series in fact, yeah,

497
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: another one. Yeah, So it was like for a while there,

498
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: like every five or six plays, Ryan Neil gets an interception.

499
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: That's a man, you gotta keep that up, Ryan. Believe that. Ryan.

500
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: You guys have a really unique secondary group. I mean,

501
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: you guys are so incredibly versatile. It really is impressive.

502
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean you just go down the list of the

503
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: different things that you guys can do. You yourself, having

504
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: background being a corner, you're playing safety, I mean just

505
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: all you guys. So what has that been like, you know,

506
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: as a unit as a group using that versatility. I

507
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: think it's cool because since a lot of guys have

508
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: that versus y, especially the especially guys like Quandre, who

509
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: I kind of admire, having played Nickel and been a

510
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: starter at Nickel, having played safety, being a start at

511
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: the safety positions, and a little bit of corner. Just guys.

512
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: Really it just comes down to feeding off the knowledge

513
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: and the education for one another, and then it just

514
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: overall it just puts the picture together for everyone, you

515
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, the more versatile guys are, everybody

516
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: can see it from a different perspective, and it really

517
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: just puts the whole picture together. And I think that's

518
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: the benefit of having multiple guys who have played multiple positions,

519
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we understand the stresses

520
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: of the defense, you know, the certain positions to the corner,

521
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: to a safety, and so everybody can kind of like

522
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: understand what they need to do in order for you know,

523
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: coverages and defenses to work. And so that's what that

524
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: uniqueness of the versatility brings out amongst the whole room,

525
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I said, everybody has

526
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: had their fair share of different spots and then just

527
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: push the whole picture together for everyone. So I think

528
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Speaking of quand Ryan, does he talk

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: as much trash in person as he does on Twitter?

530
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: Because he's they don't stop, you don't stop. That's twenty

531
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: four seven. I mean, if Quandre were to get put

532
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: in the casket, you'll probably hear mumbling from the fast

533
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: he knocked. He he's not gonna stop. That's a type

534
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: of dude too years. So yeah, he's not stop trash talker.

535
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: What about So I don't know, I could never do

536
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: that because I'd get too tired, like in between players,

537
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm gasping it, you know. But some

538
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: guys can just go And it seems like the same

539
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: thing with Jamal Adams. I mean that guy never stops.

540
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh never stop. I mean he goes off four quarters

541
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: from the beginning to the very very end. You will

542
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: hear thirty three out there yelling, screaming. I mean that's

543
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 1: just him. He even doesn't then walk through. I mean

544
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: you just see it today. He's just yelling at people

545
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: walk through. I'm like, man, this is crazy. I mean,

546
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: both of them, they're both crazy. I guess it's that

547
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: that that that Texas blood line or something. But you know,

548
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: this is how they roll, man, That's how they roll.

549
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: It's fun to have that energy in there with with

550
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: you guys. But you know, you yourself, bring a lot

551
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: of energy, bring a lot of j and right now,

552
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: you obviously have shown that you can step in this

553
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: role and played extremely well if your number is called.

554
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: But you are contributing on special teams in a big

555
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: way for this team. How much pride do you take

556
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: in that work and that opportunity to get after it

557
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: on special teams. I take a lot of pride in

558
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: because you know, guys like me coming in undrafted trying

559
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: to make a roster, that was your gateway, you know

560
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's your golden ticket to get into

561
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: the league. And so for me, it just it reminds

562
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: me of all the times that I just I wish

563
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: that I could have been a gun, that I wish

564
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: that I could have been on kickoff, you know, being

565
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: a practice squad guy watching games, I'm just like, man,

566
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: I wish I could do that, you know what I mean.

567
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: So being able to do it now, I take nothing

568
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: but pride in the I'm grateful for it and thankful

569
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: for it, and I just know, you know, even on

570
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: special teams, you can make a big player, you can

571
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: make a game change and play blocking punts are causing

572
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: the fumbler or anything. So it's just another opportunity to

573
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: make something great happening. So I take a lot of

574
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: pride and special things. Man, it's my bread and butter.

575
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Hey run and preparing for this team and a lot

576
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: of teams are not playing their starters in the preseason,

577
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: and then you know, they go out and they have

578
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: a game that's very uncharacteristic of what you know, they're about.

579
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously A J. Brown and Julio Jones. How

580
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: do you go about prepping for this? Are you looking

581
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: at stuff from last year? Also early in the season,

582
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: it's a little bit tougher, Yeah, definitely. Um, you look

583
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: at it all man, you look at the you know,

584
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: the last game they played, and you do got to

585
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: do some homework and digg in the path because that's

586
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: what teams will do to you, you know what I mean,

587
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: They try to see what you what you guys are in,

588
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and what you've been running. What do you stay trough too?

589
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: And it takes a lot of homework to do that,

590
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You gotta dig in all

591
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: the details and just see England's that just that may

592
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: pop up again. So you know, early in the season

593
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: is a little bit tougher. Um, you gotta you know,

594
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: of course, you got to go back into last year

595
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: a couple of things that they ran late in the season,

596
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: but you know, you got the first game to check

597
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,000

598
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,120

612
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps,

613
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross. Fans are returning to the stadium for

614
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: the first time in a year. It is the Seahawks

615
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: home opener, a week two game versus the Tennessee Titans.

616
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Before we get started here, I gotta remind you guys.

617
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: First of all, don't forget your mask. Make sure you

618
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: bring that regardless of vaccination status. And secondly, all attendees

619
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: age twelve and over will be required to provide proof

620
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen vaccination for entry. If you do not

621
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: have a vaccination card or verification, you can just present

622
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: a negative COVID test. That result has to be from

623
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: a test take in seventy two hours prior, So if

624
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: you were going to the game this Sunday, I would

625
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: recommend going to get tested today, and if you have

626
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: your vaccination card, you're fine. Just make sure you have

627
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: a copy of it digital or otherwise. Does King County

628
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: have on their website testing sites? That is a great question. Yes,

629
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: you know what. During the break, I'll look up websites

630
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: and then in the next one I'll tell you guys

631
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: where you can go get some of those. All right,

632
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: joining us right now to talk about the seahawks upcoming game,

633
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: including a look at where this team stands with injuries.

634
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: It is John Boyle, reporter for Seahawks dot Com. Hello John, Hi, Stacy,

635
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: how you doing good? Fantastic? We just had the best

636
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: interview with Ryan Neal. I had no idea he was

637
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: so like I almost had tears in my eyes. He's

638
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: so funny. Well, I'm sorry for your listeners that they

639
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: go from that to me. Then no, he's an entertaining guy.

640
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: He's wonderful. He's wonderful, So I have to obviously, John,

641
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: I always do this. I apologize in a fancy you

642
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: know who I am coming in. Okay, so let's take

643
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: a look same thing that we just don't know anything

644
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: by Wednesday. Now, okay, okay, Look, well let's take a

645
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: look at these injuries. We do know at least that

646
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: running back with Shad Penny will not make this one.

647
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: But the fact that they didn't place him on IR

648
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: so far to me indicates that they maybe think it

649
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: could take less than three weeks. So we'll just we'll

650
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: just start with him. Is that also kind of what

651
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: you're assuming? And then in secondly, what's the latest with

652
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: ds Gridge? Yeah, I mean in terms of Penny, I

653
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: would I would say that, you know, it's obviously encouraging

654
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that there haven't done anything yet. I would maybe withhold

655
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: some caution until we get through the week, because you know,

656
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: if they always decided to come Saturday, any of that

657
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: roster spot, there's only no difference between making that move

658
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday or Saturday if they know he's not

659
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: practicing and playing this week. But you know, again, it

660
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like anything real long term either way. The

661
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: nice thing with this new IR rule is you can

662
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: do that, like, for example, post it. It's not anything

663
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: super serious, but you can buy that spot for a

664
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: few weeks by putting the guy in IR D Eskridge.

665
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: We don't know much yet other than that he wasn't here,

666
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't say, which I would obviously say, is not super encouraging.

667
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: It's tough for anyone to get through the covert protocol

668
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: in one week. It's more often than not guys don't

669
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: do it. In fact, that penny Hart was able to

670
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: practice yesterday as a good sign, but just kind of

671
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: the opposite of that, the fact that Eskridge was at

672
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: home is probably not as encouraging. Hey, John, I probably

673
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: could just turn to my left and ask Jake this question.

674
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: But just from your perspective, Russ seems very happy. So

675
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at like his interviews and afterwards the

676
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: post game, and then Pete kind of got into the

677
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: act a little bit. Remember in the post game he

678
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: said something about Russ was cooking. Oh I shouldn't have

679
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: said that, and all that good stuff. But it just

680
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: seems like Russ is very, very happy, very just satisfied

681
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: with the way things are going with this offense right now. Yeah. Look,

682
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think there's two things that play here.

683
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: One he wants to win. He wants to win. I mean,

684
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Jake talk for this more than I can. He knows

685
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: the rust all lot better than I do. But this

686
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: guy wants more than anything to win championships. And so

687
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: if he is after being in this camp or being

688
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: in camp in this offense and now seeing it in

689
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: the game and like in what he sees, he knows

690
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: that gives them the best chance to win. And I

691
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: think he's just seems to be very content with the

692
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: situation here in terms of the guys around him, the

693
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: system they brought in with Shane Walter and the relationship

694
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: with Shane Wroldan that we just keep hearing Pete Carroll

695
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: rave about that connection those who have so Yeah, I mean, look,

696
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: I know things maybe got a little weird this offseason,

697
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: but it sure seems like everybody's in a great place

698
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: right now, the quarterback included, you know, John. One of

699
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: the other things that was so impressive to watch in

700
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: this last game against the Indianapolis Colts is the group

701
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: effort by the defensive line, and it's really cool to

702
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: see a group that you've got good talent, but there's

703
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily one individual star that you're looking at and saying, Okay,

704
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: this guy, we're counting on this guy to have fifteen

705
00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: sacks this year. Is this something that you see as

706
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: sustainable for this group? Have all contributors performing at this

707
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: high of a level, I really do. I mean, other

708
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: than you know, on the offense, who wanted to know

709
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: it was going to look like and it was encouraging

710
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: to me. The biggest question other than what the offense

711
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: is going to look like, is what's the pass rush like?

712
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you go back to last year and really

713
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: the defense when it turned things around, it's because the

714
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: pass rush got going. And I think we all knew

715
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: coming into this year, if they can get after the

716
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: pass or they're gonna be pretty good defense. If they can't,

717
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: if they might struggle a little. So to see that

718
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: many guys contribute, you know, you go back to the preseason,

719
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing the Alton Robinson's rashaw or Chime Green, Daryl

720
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 1: Taylor's getting things going. But you always wonder, okay, how

721
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: much of that is because they're going against backup linemen.

722
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: You know, what's just going to look like in the

723
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: regular season. So to come out Week one and get

724
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: that kind of pressure throughout the game from a bunch

725
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: of guys that that's a really good sign for this defense.

726
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: Did you have the feeling leaving training camp because you

727
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: were there for all those practices watching these guys before

728
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: fans got a chance to did you get the feeling

729
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: leading that this group is probably underrated heading into the season? Yeah,

730
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean depends on who you ask, because some people,

731
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, I've heard people say this is the deepest

732
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: line since twenty thirteen, and people who have been high

733
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: in this group the whole time, So you know they're

734
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: not underrated in those people's eyes, But there's been a

735
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of other people coming at it from the Okay,

736
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of guys they like, but there

737
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: is no proven Like Jaca said, you don't have the

738
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: fifteen sack guy. I mean, Dunlap in his prime was

739
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: close to that. But sorry, I'm not trying to apply.

740
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap is not in his prime anymore. Don't get

741
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: mad at me if you hear this. Carlos Dunlap, however,

742
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: you don't have probably the Chandler Jones types is going

743
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: to go get your five sacks in the game. But

744
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: you've got a whole bunch of guys who can get

745
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: the job done. And I do think that maybe a

746
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: lot of people were thinking without the true stud all protype,

747
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: you might not get the production you need. Yeah, I

748
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: wonder if Darryl Taylor is that dynamic guy you know

749
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: you talked about, like a Chandler Jones side. Yeah, yeah,

750
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if he can be. But I wanted to

751
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: talk about Rashime Green just because I love the kid.

752
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he came in here, he wasn't even twenty

753
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: one years old when he was drafted, and this is

754
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: his fourth year. It just seems like he's really cutting

755
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: it loose. And we had him on this week, but

756
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, what he did in the preseason was for real.

757
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's doing He did it on Sunday

758
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: against a really good offensive line. And you know, it's

759
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: not like he's incredibly huge. He's not like super you know,

760
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: fast or anything like that. But that guy is just

761
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: such a good football player and I think he's it

762
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: looks john like he's kind of upped his game to where, Yeah,

763
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: before maybe he gets three four sacks. Now you know,

764
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: maybe he gets into the double digits the way he's

765
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: playing right now. Yeah, and you know, Pete Carroll's talked

766
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: about this a little bit. This saftly they moved him

767
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: a little bit to more of an outside edge role.

768
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: He was a guy that just kind of the makeup

769
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: he has physically, he's the kind of guy you can

770
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: move inside and out. And we did see him line

771
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: up inside some. But they are letting him get on

772
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: that edge rush a little more and he's thriving in

773
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: that role. And to your point this, this looks real.

774
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: You know, he was one of those guys, like I

775
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: was saying earlier, you wonder, okay, will this translate? All

776
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: these guys looks good in the preseason, what's it gonna

777
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: look like? And there's boom right off the bat. He

778
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: gets sack early in the game, and he's being kind

779
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: of a menace all game. So yeah, he's and to

780
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: your point two, he's young still, I mean that's you

781
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: forget that a guy. You know, guy, I've been in

782
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: the league for a few years. You think he's in

783
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: the mid twenties, but here in the late twenties. But

784
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: he came in so young, he's you know, he's got

785
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: a lot of good football out of him. Still, John,

786
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: there's another preseason All Pro that caught a lot of

787
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: people's attention and was you know, a good portion of

788
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: the talk in town during the preseason was Alex Collins

789
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: and how well he was doing. And obviously it's a

790
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: bummer to have Rashod Penny be out for at least

791
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: three weeks, but you get a chance to see Alex

792
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: Collins and see if he can be a factor in

793
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: that rotation with Chris Carson. What do you anticipate from him? Yeah,

794
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think if he gets the chance, that

795
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good. We saw throughout the preseason and

796
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: training camp. You know, unfortunately with you know, just the

797
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: way the numbers worked and specialtyam did. DJ Dallas and

798
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: Travis Homer are big special teams guys, so that's why

799
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: they're going to be active ahead of announced Collins on

800
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: game day when everybody's healthy. But I think when you know,

801
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: assuming Penny doesn't go this week, is what we think

802
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: is going to happen, Collins jumps into that number two

803
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: role in terms of the running back touches, and you know,

804
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: I would be surprised if he doesn't break off a

805
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: few good runs, just because everything we've seen about him

806
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: since he got back to this team last year and

807
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: especially this summer, he's just looked faster, more explosive than

808
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: the guy who came in here as a rookie. Is

809
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: there a player on the Seahawks team that maybe didn't

810
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: have the biggest test in Week one that will have

811
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: a much bigger challenge in Week two? I mean, I

812
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: got a point to the cornerbacks. You know, the Colts

813
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: they're missing their best guy and t Y Hilton, and

814
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: they're going to lean pretty heavy on that run game.

815
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks did a really good job taking care

816
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: of what they needed to last week, and that defense

817
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: played really well. But this is a much bigger test

818
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: for that defense when you've got Ajia Brown Willia Jones

819
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: coming in. So I really am excited to see kind

820
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: of what that looks like portray hours in Djerry going

821
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: against you know, one of the best receiving duos they're

822
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: going to see all year. John. You know, one of

823
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: the things that's popular to say, and I guess I

824
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: probably said it before, is oh, the Titans are going

825
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: to be angry when they come in here, and you know,

826
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: I was saying, well, I was always angry. And the

827
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: other thing is you'd rather play a team that's coming

828
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: off a bad performance and a good performances what's been

829
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: your experience because you got you can't say that this

830
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: team isn't going to be stung, right, I mean their

831
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: playoff team the last two years, their leaders pretty fiery.

832
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: You know, what do you expect that the Titans coming

833
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: in here? What how have you approached games like this

834
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: in the past. I feel like when we talk about

835
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: like a high school team, than the emotion can play

836
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: into it more. I just I feel like at this level, like, look,

837
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: teams have bad games, maybe some matchup thing, maybe it's

838
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: somebody injured. But I don't think it affects teams from

839
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: week tweek as much at this level when it's their

840
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: job as it might younger guys in college or high school.

841
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 1: I do think they're going to play a lot better

842
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: just because they're a better team than what they showed.

843
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: Like teams in the NFL, if it gave me, it's

844
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: away from team a little bit. Teams are good enough

845
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: to capitalize, and the Arizona did that, and they took

846
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: it to him really well. But I would be pretty

847
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: surprised whether it's because they're fired up and mad about

848
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: last week or just because they execute better and guys

849
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: play a little better. I do think the sex are

850
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: going to see a much better version of the Titans.

851
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: I totally agree with everything you just said. I mean,

852
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: you're right, it's like the emotions and all that. That's

853
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of high school stuff. But and of course they're

854
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: going to play better. You might as well just wrap

855
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: your mind around that, because they're not nearly as they were.

856
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: He is. John Boyle, reporter for Seahawks dot Com, also

857
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: joins us every Thursday on the Huddle. Thanks John, Thank you.

858
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: All right, fans are going to be back at lumin

859
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: Field to curb the spread of COVID nineteen and for

860
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: safety protocols, they are going to have a vaccine and

861
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: mask policy. As a reminder, make sure to bring your

862
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: mask and all attendees twelve and over will be required

863
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: to provide proof of vaccination for entry, or you can

864
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: have a negative COVID test taken seven two hours prior.

865
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: And Dave, you said you've got a list of locations. Yeah, well,

866
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: if you go to King County's website and just type

867
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: in testing locations. I went last year and Renton. It

868
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: was a drive through thing because after the bye week

869
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to get tested and yeah, you know they

870
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: will text you or email you your results. So if

871
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: you want to do that, if you go to the

872
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: King County website, they've got all kinds of different testing

873
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: sites around the puge sound okay, So if you do

874
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: not have a vaccination card, I would recommend going to

875
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: get tested today to make sure you get it within

876
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: that seventy two hour window. Again that website, Dave, just

877
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: let you know that's exactly where I would go to look. Okay,

878
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: come in your way. Next, there was a big injury

879
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks offensive line. Ray Robert's going to tell

880
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: us what we can expect for this group moving forward.

881
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: You are listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps,

882
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross. We are going in the trenches with

883
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts to talk about what the Seahawks offensive line

884
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: can do going forward against Tennessee and also what we

885
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: saw against Indie. Don't forget to look back a little bit. Ray,

886
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: how are you? How about you guys? Fan pastic. I mean,

887
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with kind of a really obvious one,

888
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: but you've got a lot of insight here too. Having

889
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: watched both of these centers in training camp. So Ethan

890
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: post placed on the injured reserve with a sprain knee.

891
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: He'll be out a minimum of three games. That means

892
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: that this team is going to turn to Kyle Fuller

893
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: as their starting center. Right. What did you see from

894
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: Kyle either in camp and through the through the season

895
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: or excuse me, preseason. Yeah, so I've always, uh, you know,

896
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: from the very beginning of training camp, I thought Kyle

897
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: offered a more a stronger, more stable person at a

898
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: player at that position. Uh. Ethan, as much as I

899
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: love him, he's not the most overpowering player. He's more

900
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: of a position type blocker, so he's not going to

901
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: just be a road greater and drive people off the ball.

902
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: I was a little bit concerned when they were rotating

903
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: them during the Indianapolis game because I just felt like, Uh,

904
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: those guys needed to get into a rhythm. They just

905
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: need to pick a dude and let him get into

906
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: a rhythm with those two guards. So then you start

907
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: to figure out each other's prints and weaknesses and where

908
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: you can on certain plays you know where the center

909
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: is going to need a extra help or you know,

910
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: really building that chemistry when you're rotating guys in like

911
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: that when you haven't had those kind of live reps.

912
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: Just kind of hard to do that and everyone's a

913
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: little bit off. So I kind of I think that

914
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: cal has an opportunity to kind of settle in and

915
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: get into a rhythm with those two guys to be

916
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: an effective center for the Seahawks. Hey, Ray, I thought

917
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: about you. There was a play and it was the

918
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: thirty three yard run by Chris Carson where that one

919
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of stopped at the line of scrimmage. But Gabe Jackson,

920
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: I think he was coming off a double team and

921
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: then he went over and blocked another guy, and I thought,

922
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: number one, he just rooted that guy up. I think

923
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: it was that Grover Stewart guy. And then the other

924
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: thing was I just thought the coordination with Carson just

925
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 1: being patient and waiting for him to execute that block

926
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: was just a It was a beautiful thing, Ray, I

927
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: got I got a tear in my eye, and I'm

928
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: sure you did too. As an offensive lineman. It was awesome.

929
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Because when I was watching the film of Gabe Jackson,

930
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: that was the thing that he was awesome at. He

931
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: was he was great at being able to secure the

932
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: down lineman with the double team, with the tackle or

933
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: or with the center, and then he was able to

934
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: always get himself up to the second level defender in

935
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: a way that he could. You weren't chasing, but his

936
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: body was in a position to actually make the block.

937
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: And a lot of that falls down to like technique,

938
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: your footwork level, keep his square, you know, taking the

939
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: problem in episode you can set yourself up to be

940
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: able to get to the second level in a way

941
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: that you can that you can make an impact like that.

942
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: And then Chris Carson just does a great job of

943
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: knowing when to just run really hard downhill and just

944
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: hit the pal and move the pal and when to

945
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: be patient to allow those a hole like that to open.

946
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: And it was a beautiful theme because it did look

947
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: like it was clogged up right there at the line

948
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and then all of a sudden, Gabe Jackson

949
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: pride opened the shoulder of the defensive lineman and then

950
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: went up to the second level. And it's like the

951
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: floodgates opened and then Chris was able to get through

952
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: that hole. So that type of stuff is beautiful is

953
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: and the cool thing would be able to break that

954
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,959
Speaker 1: down for people to understand that it wasn't just big

955
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: guys pushing against big guys, and all of a a sudden

956
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: the whole came open, like this technique and a plan

957
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: and strategy to it all. And I think that piece

958
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: of it Gabe brings to this team in a way

959
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: that they haven't had it here before. Ray. Something that

960
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: we talked about all last season was, hey, even when

961
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: things were going successfully offensively, there was not this connectivity

962
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: that you and I wanted to see fully, which always

963
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: made you was somewhat uneasy about sustainability, but also just

964
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of playoff level football, you got

965
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: to have both elements working together. I have to imagine

966
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: when you were watching this offense come Week one against

967
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: the Colts, that you were just salivating seeing that connectivity

968
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: of Shane Waldron's offense. Well absolutely, like you know, you

969
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: know last year, the term where you're using was marrying

970
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: the run game to the defense, I mean to the

971
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: past game. And I felt bad because I didn't bring

972
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: a wedding gift to the studio with me because it looked. Uh,

973
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. It was a beautiful thing, man like

974
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: when like when you see the pre stap, the pre

975
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: snap motion and then at the snap movement that's happening

976
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: and you can't tell them it's the run or the

977
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: past and uh. And then they ran the ball and

978
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: passed the ball off of all that same motion. Uh

979
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: it to me, it just looked like like a matchmate

980
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: in heaven. This downhill. Uh a lot of movement, I candy,

981
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: if you want to call it. Uh in the backfield

982
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: that kind of creates lanes for for guys run. But

983
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: then also uh, you know, Russell can pull the ball

984
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 1: and throw it. To me, it was a beautiful thing.

985
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: And then my my biggest uh fear was that, Okay,

986
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: last year they also started the season out throwing a

987
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: bunch of screens and then all of a sudden got

988
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: away from it. And so my fear is that they

989
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: get away from all that stuff. But I don't feel

990
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: like Shane is going to do that. So I was

991
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: jumping for joy to see it, and I was anticipating

992
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: that happening just from what we saw in training camp,

993
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: because it really truly does make the defense have to

994
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: defend the entire field. And so whether you're running the

995
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: ball of the short pass, intermediate pass, deep deep passes, screens,

996
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, little dump offs, the running game, the fly sweep,

997
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: all of that stuff makes the defense they have to

998
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: if they want to get after Russell with they want

999
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: to pin their ears back and get after Russell Wilson

1000
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: in the passing game, they have to earn the right

1001
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: to do that. And if they can get through all

1002
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: of the those motions and movements and different things that

1003
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: are doing in the passing game to get you in

1004
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: a third and long situation where they can just pin

1005
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: their ears back and go forward, and more power to them.

1006
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: But I just think the way the way that the

1007
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: offense looked the first week, and I know that that's

1008
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: only a small part of what they're what's in the

1009
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: it was in the package. I think it can be

1010
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing for the rest of the season. It's

1011
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: sure can. It was really awesome to see love the

1012
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: way you summarize it there too. He is Ray Roberts.

1013
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: You can hear him this weekend on the Seahawks pre

1014
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: and postgame show and every Thursday on The Huddle thanks

1015
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: for joining us today. Ray, Hey, thanks for having me, guys.

1016
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: Enjoy talking to you. Thanks Ray, as always, see you Ray.

1017
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: All right, now we're going to be taking a step

1018
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: across enemy lines. We're gonna have Ben Arthur, who's a

1019
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: former Seahawks reporter. He's reporting on the Titans right now,

1020
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: so offer us some unique insight. Before that, though, we're

1021
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: talking with the voice of the Seahawks himself, Steve Rabel.

1022
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: He joins us next on the huddle. You are listening

1023
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jake Keeps, and Stacy Ross.

1024
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,959
Speaker 1: We're joined now by the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel. Rabes.

1025
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: How are you. I'm great, guys. How are you doing?

1026
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: Very excited to return to see the Seahawks at Luminfield

1027
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: with fans in attendance? I mean you were doing this

1028
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: all last year at home with no fans there. Are

1029
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: you excited to have him back? Oh? Absolutely, you know

1030
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was actually even kind of fun. And

1031
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: I use that term loosely because I'm sitting, you know,

1032
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: a few feet away from Dave Wyman. Apologies, yes, so Stee,

1033
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: if I'm here, you know, Oh okay, I'm sorry. I

1034
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: have feelings also, I know you do, even though you're

1035
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: a defensive player. I know you do. Um, But there

1036
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: was this this sense that just being in the stadium

1037
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: watching the team there in Indianapolis, and it was you know,

1038
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: so many obviously Colts fans, but a huge number of

1039
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans in the stadium, and all you had to

1040
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: do was listen for a big touchdown and by the

1041
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: end of the game it was nothing but Hawks fans

1042
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: left at Lucas Oil. So, uh, it's it's just gonna

1043
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: be fun to having having twelves back again and again

1044
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: this week. And listen, let's face it. If anybody has

1045
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: any question about how important, uh the twelves are the

1046
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: fans are to the Seahawks, just look at the fact

1047
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: that they've won seventeen of their last eighteen home openers.

1048
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,959
Speaker 1: I mean that that should say it all right there,

1049
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 1: that yes, the teams have been good, but when you

1050
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: got that kind of support in your home stadium, you

1051
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: have a really good chance of winning. We've noticed that

1052
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: up over the last three or four years. Rabes it

1053
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks fans, and I mean this in a totally

1054
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: complimentary way, is that they've become those annoying fans that

1055
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: go on the road, like the Toronto Blue Jay fans

1056
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: that here, the Boston fans that I had to experience it. Gosh, yeah,

1057
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: So I mean and not only that raves. You look

1058
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: and we've been to all these stadiums, especially down in Arizona.

1059
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: Those bright green or action green jerseys, those really stand out.

1060
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: So I'm very proud of our fans and they've become

1061
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: annoying exactly. And you don't have to go to another

1062
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: NFL stadium. Remember a couple of years ago, it seems

1063
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: like a lifetime ago now, but that we went to London. Yeah,

1064
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: and it was like a home game at Wembley stadiums

1065
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: right to see all of the Seahawks fans both from

1066
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: this country and from all over Europe that came down

1067
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: to see that game. So yeah, the Seahawks travel well.

1068
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: As they said, lots of Germans, a lot of Germans

1069
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: like the remember their their fan their twelve club or

1070
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: whatever was. Yes, it's like a one hundred and seventy

1071
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: thousand people bull or something like that. Well, lots of

1072
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: Brits as well. Yeah, we went to a couple of

1073
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: the of their big kind of parties that they had

1074
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: there in London before the game, and it was fun.

1075
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: It was great seeing all those folks and talking to

1076
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: them and man, they listened to every word, not that

1077
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: I say, but oh of course. Yeah. That's the thing

1078
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: we know now that two things that Germans love David

1079
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: Hasselhoff and Seahawk fans. Yeah and Seahawks or Steve Rabel

1080
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: Actually you're right up there with David Hasselhoff. O, great Raves.

1081
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing to get fans back in the stands,

1082
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: as we talked about, But what player do you think

1083
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: is going to feed off of that energy the most?

1084
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: What player you excited to watch interact with these fans? Well,

1085
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, as Dave will will tell you as well.

1086
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: I think the defense certainly has the advantage when the

1087
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: home team, the home field is behind them, and you

1088
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: gotta think that it's going to be the guys coming

1089
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: off the edge that get the jump, the those tackles

1090
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: just listening. And I always think back to that New

1091
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: York Giants game, gosh, maybe it was back in twenty thirteen,

1092
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: might have been the Super Bowl year where their tackle

1093
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: just kept rocking back in his stance and there was

1094
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: something like six or seven false start penalties because of

1095
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: the crowd, and Eli Manning just kind of threw his

1096
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: hands up in the air half a dozen times because

1097
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: he could not be heard by his offensive lineman. That

1098
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: has got to help Rashime Green, Darryl Taylor. It's got

1099
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: to help Carlos Dunlop, those pass rushers coming off the edge,

1100
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: Jamal as well, only maybe to a little bit lesser extent.

1101
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: This has got to be great for them to come

1102
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: home and have this crowd behind them. Is their player

1103
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: You think could surprise Seahawks fans this year, Well, I

1104
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: think we've already. I don't know if we've been surprised

1105
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: by Daryl Taylor. We just didn't see him at all

1106
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: last season, at least defensively. You know, he was nursing

1107
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: that fractured leg and had a rod pin in it

1108
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: put in it, and they kept saying, you know, yeah,

1109
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: he may be able to get back by the end

1110
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: of the season, and perhaps by the playoff game. He

1111
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: was almost ready to play. But now he's had this

1112
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: whole offseason to prepare, get stronger, get ready, and what

1113
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: he's done, at least as we've watched in preseason games.

1114
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: He's looked really good. He had a sack. Carson Wentz

1115
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: is still kind of shaking his head, saying, where did

1116
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: he come from? And get the license play of the

1117
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: bus that just hit me because he leveled him. And

1118
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: those are the kinds of things that you hope to

1119
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: see out of a second year guy. You know, sometimes

1120
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: rookies don't know what they don't know. But now he's

1121
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: already two years in. Even though he didn't play, I

1122
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: feel pretty certain that he could have a really good year.

1123
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 1: By the way, that was my tribute to Norm McDonald

1124
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,479
Speaker 1: who passed away. Remember he would always say Germans love

1125
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: David Hasselhoff ribs. I thought Brian Monet was maybe, you know,

1126
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier. I mean, he's been one

1127
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: of those guys that I think it's been hard for

1128
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: Seahawk fans to figure out why did they like this guy?

1129
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's because defensive tackles, don't you know,

1130
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: they just don't flash typically unless you're an Aaron Donald

1131
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: or Cortez Kennedy. But what they do is the grunt

1132
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: work and all of the hard work inside. And I

1133
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: thought it was really nice to see him. Remember the

1134
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: play where he picked Jonathan Taylor up off the ground

1135
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: and his feet were still moving. You know. Yeah, it

1136
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: was like a little kid, like, where are you going

1137
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: a little mister when I pick you up and slam

1138
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: me on the ground. But you know that I thought

1139
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: he Yeah, d line definitely was a highlight. And for

1140
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,720
Speaker 1: a big guy who doesn't get a lot of props,

1141
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: I love seeing him make some plays. Well, you said

1142
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: the fact that the Seattle fans are a kind of

1143
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, you know, how he does what

1144
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: he does and all that. I'm still trying to figure

1145
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: out how this guy ended up being a free agent

1146
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: coming out of college. I mean, when you look at

1147
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: just his size coming out of Michigan, he's three hundred

1148
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: and forty five pounds and that was probably a couple

1149
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: of stacks of pancakes. You go. So he is a

1150
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: huge man, he's got good feet, and he's just that

1151
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: big space eater in the middle that you really need

1152
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: on a defense the way Pete wants to play defense.

1153
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 1: And of course this year, you know they're kind they're

1154
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: kind of smashing down a little bit to take one

1155
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: of your terms on that defensive front, closing down those

1156
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: gaps a little across the front, the center guard gaps,

1157
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 1: and I think it's just gonna make it that much

1158
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,919
Speaker 1: more difficult to run the football. Now we'll find out

1159
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: how effective it is because you're going against what the

1160
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: two time defending rushing champ in Derrick Henry this week,

1161
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 1: and he tends to get most of his yards bouncing outside,

1162
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: and he's got deceptive speed, but he is a load

1163
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 1: to bring down. So this is going to be a

1164
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: real test for the defense. Raves. You've seen a lot

1165
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: of great offensive football, You've seen great moments here in Seattle,

1166
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: but there seemed to be something different about this group

1167
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: that we saw week one and had a lot of

1168
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans excited. What was your perspective on witnessing this

1169
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: offense under Shane Waldron? What stood out to you? Well,

1170
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting, Jape, and I just got done talking

1171
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, literally ten minutes ago to

1172
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown going to be a part of this YAK

1173
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: Saturday night show for us, and and I sort of

1174
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: asked him, you know, after the offseason that you guys had,

1175
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: and then of course, you know, he was not on

1176
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 1: the field during much of the practice sessions during training camp.

1177
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: But did it surprise you how well this kind of

1178
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: new look offense came out and performed. And he said, no,

1179
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: not at all. He said, we really had a great

1180
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: feeling about this as the pieces started coming together. So

1181
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm saying is what surprised me the

1182
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: most is how well they all played together that very

1183
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: first game. But then again, when you've got, you know,

1184
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback in Russell Wilson, you know, pulling the

1185
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: trigger back there, you should expect that at the very least,

1186
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: he's not going to make mental mistakes, and you practice

1187
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: it enough. And we didn't see much of it in

1188
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: preseason because we never saw the starters, but you know

1189
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: that they were going over and over and over, and

1190
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: it seemed like Russ always had someplace to go with

1191
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: the ball. There was never a time it didn't feel

1192
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: like to me. I know, we got hit and sacked

1193
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but that he didn't have a

1194
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: place to go with the football, and he was scanning

1195
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: to find those places. One of them took him what

1196
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 1: sixty five yards down field to Tyler, but a number

1197
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: of them took him to little dump off passes in

1198
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: the flat here or there. So I guess that's what's

1199
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: impressive about this offense, and how it's only the first game,

1200
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: how much better they can be as the season goes on.

1201
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: He is the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel, Raves,

1202
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear you on the call again.

1203
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: I apologize that you're going to have to be next

1204
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: to Wyman for the entire game. My thoughts are with

1205
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: you at this time. Bless you for that anytime. You know,

1206
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: I probably give Dave too much, too much trouble, so

1207
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: I yeah, like I said, guys, I do have feelings Steve.

1208
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to remember that I do. Dave. Thanks, Raves,

1209
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: Thanks all right. He is Steve Rabel joins us every

1210
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: Thursday for the huddle, and obviously you can hear him

1211
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 1: on the call this Sunday. I have plenty of questions

1212
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: about the Titans. I know you guys have plenty of

1213
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: questions about the Titans. So we can understand the opponent

1214
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Thankfully, we're gonna have some help

1215
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: doing it. Ben Arthur, who reports on the Titans for

1216
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: the Tennessee and going to join us next. This is

1217
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps, and Stacy Ross

1218
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks are facing the Titans for their home

1219
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: opener this Sunday. So for a look at the Titans

1220
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: a look ahead to this Sunday matchup, we are bringing

1221
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: on Ben Arthur of the Tennessee and he covers the

1222
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 1: Titans out in Nashville. And also Ben used to report

1223
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,919
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks, So some really unique insight here. First

1224
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: of all, Ben, how are you. I'm doing great, how

1225
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: are you guys doing? Thanks for having me on. We're

1226
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: excited to have you on. I mean, it's again, it's

1227
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: a really unique kind of insight into this because you

1228
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: have a very recent history of covering Seattle and then

1229
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: now you're covering the Tennessee. So it's kind of nice

1230
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: to be able to see how you think these two

1231
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: teams match up. So I'll start with a really obvious question.

1232
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: It's a big answer. There's a lot of answers, but

1233
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: I'll start with it. What the heck happened to the

1234
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: Titans in Week one? It was an abysmal performance against

1235
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Yeah, it was pretty Yeah, it was pretty

1236
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: darn bad. A lot of people out here are upset

1237
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: and and for good reason. I mean, there's a lot

1238
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: of talk of this Titans offense on paper maybe being

1239
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: the most talented enfranchise history, and that's Titans or Oilers history.

1240
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: So you know, it was pretty inexcusable. A lot of

1241
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: finger pointing to, you know, to to look at there.

1242
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: I think the first thing you have to look at

1243
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: is the lack of practice time that this first team

1244
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 1: Titans offense had. I mean, you know, Julio Jones missed

1245
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: a ton of time and he's you know, working with

1246
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 1: a with a new quarterback. AJ Brown was in and

1247
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: out of practices. This starting offensive line really only had

1248
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: a handful of practices together before this opener against Arizona.

1249
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's number one. But then within that right,

1250
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: I think you have to start with the offensive line.

1251
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: You know, Ryan Tannehill did not have time to do

1252
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: anything because his guys, his tackles, his guards, everyone wasn't

1253
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: that they weren't doing their job. Like I think Taylor

1254
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: Luan is kind of the most notable example of just

1255
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: being beat so easily off of the edge by Chandler Jones.

1256
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: Luan's a guy who's coming off a torn acl and

1257
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's a tough first ask. You know,

1258
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: your first game since paring your ACL the previous season,

1259
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: to go up against Chandler Jones. But you know the

1260
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: way he looked that, you certainly can't make excuses for that.

1261
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: And then they just couldn't get into their run game.

1262
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: And this Titan's offense, as many people know from AFAR,

1263
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: is centered around Derrick Henry and establishing the run and

1264
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: working that play action off of the establishing the run.

1265
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: And when you can't when your old linemen aren't able

1266
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: to do their job run blocking and to create those

1267
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: lanes for Derek, I think you kind of get the

1268
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: downward spiral where you can't really do much of anything

1269
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: because you're very the very heart of your offense Derek Henry.

1270
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: You're not getting him going. And so I think you

1271
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: look at the issues for the Titans. I think you

1272
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: have to look at that offensive line play. Yeah, and Ben,

1273
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like so first of all, Taylor Lawan he

1274
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't playing in the preseason because he'd had an ACL,

1275
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: And I think I think it was Mike Keith that

1276
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: told us, you know, Quisenberry, who's the right tackle was

1277
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: playing left. And also didn't they have some COVID things.

1278
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean as far as the offensive line goes, where

1279
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: they missed some time. It sounded like they were kind

1280
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: of disjointed and a lot because of you know, things

1281
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: that are going off, you know, whether it's an injury

1282
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,959
Speaker 1: or a COVID restriction exactly. Yeah, it was a lot

1283
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: of different things. I mean, you start with Taylor. He

1284
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: did get a little bit of time in that last

1285
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: preseason game, but it was really just a couple series.

1286
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: It was just him to kind of get his feet

1287
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: under him before that Week one game. But obviously he

1288
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: was limited basically the entire summer up until the final

1289
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: two weeks of the preseason. So there was that and

1290
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: then the COVID. The Titans had a COVID situation during

1291
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: the summer to an outbreak. They had at one point,

1292
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I want to say, twelve thirteen members of their organization

1293
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that that includes coaches on the COVID list and two

1294
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: of the guys on that list where they're starting center

1295
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and they're starting right guard. And so those two guys,

1296
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Ben Jones being the center, the right guard being Nate Davis.

1297
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: They didn't get back into practice until the Wednesday before

1298
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: the Arizona game, so there was that whole mess. And

1299
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: then you know with the with the right tackle spot,

1300
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: it's that that was kind of like the one spot

1301
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: on the old line where there were kind of concerns

1302
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: going into the season. The two of these they basically

1303
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: had three veterans competing at that spot, and then two

1304
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: of the veterans at that spot at different times this summer,

1305
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: we're dealing with injuries and they weren't able to play.

1306
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: So it was a lot of things, right, It was

1307
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: Luan's acl situation, it was the COVID mass that happened,

1308
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: and then also you know, just other injuries took took

1309
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: place as well, So all it made for sort of

1310
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: a disjointed and you know Titans offensive line that just

1311
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: didn't have much playing time together heading into that Arizona game.

1312
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Ben obviously, the focus has been on the Titans offense,

1313
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, it is the strength of that team.

1314
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons why everybody was so excited

1315
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: and hyped up about the Titans this year and their chances.

1316
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: But what about the defense. The defense has continued to struggle.

1317
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: They struggled mightily against the Cardinals. They were a bottom

1318
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: end unit last year, and it's very odd to have

1319
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: that be the case with such a defensive minded head

1320
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: coach and Mike Rabel. What are some of the issues

1321
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: there on the defense side of the ball for the Titans. Yeah,

1322
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: I think first of all, with the Titans defense, they're

1323
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: working in a lot of new starters. So as you mentioned,

1324
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: yeah that even it last year was pretty bad. They

1325
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: had a historically that they were worst in the league

1326
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: in third down efficiency, Like it was historically bad. They

1327
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: were giving up nearly a fifty two percent conversion rate

1328
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: on third down and they only had nineteen shacks last year,

1329
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: which was tied for the worst for like a playoff

1330
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: team in NFL history, So it was pretty bad. They

1331
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: overhauled the defensive side of the ball. They have six

1332
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: new starters, including you know, Bud Dupree. But he's the

1333
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: thing with Dupree and similar to Luan on the offensive side,

1334
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: is you know, Dupree is coming back from a torn

1335
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: acl He only played a handful of games with the

1336
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Steelers last year, and so he's at a point where

1337
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: he's not at one hundred percent. You have one of

1338
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: their key inside linebackers, Jayon Brown, you know, one of

1339
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: their top cover guys he missed a lot of time

1340
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: last year on IR He's one of their key guys

1341
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: in the middle there. And then with that secondary, three

1342
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: of the four secondary guys in that base look are new.

1343
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: The only one returning into the starting lineup is Kevin Byard.

1344
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: So a lot of kind of new faces, still a

1345
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: lot of chemistry that kind of needs to be worked out.

1346
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: There were they did make positive strides in the summer.

1347
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Over the preseason, for whatever that's worth. They were pretty

1348
01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: dominant actually, and third down was as you can AMU imagine,

1349
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: it was a very big emphasis into heading into this season.

1350
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: But as we saw against the Cardinals, they're just not

1351
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: there yet. And I think going up against an offense

1352
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: like Arizona and with a quarterback as mobile and as

1353
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: shifty as Kyler Murray, I don't I don't know that

1354
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: there's there are other mobile quarterbacks, but I don't know

1355
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: that there's one as shifty as Kyler Murray that that

1356
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: was very hard for the Titans to contain. I mean,

1357
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: even when they did get good pressure, Kyler was able

1358
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to sort of elude that and make something out of

1359
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: nothing on third down. Three of the Cardinals four passing

1360
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns came on third down, so that was a really,

1361
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:49,479
Speaker 1: you know, a backbreaker for the Titans. And so yeah,

1362
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: so so heading into into this game with the Seahawks

1363
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: going up against another phenomenal mobile quarterback in Russ, I

1364
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: don't know how much can change the defensively in a

1365
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: seven day span. So kind of going back to the offense,

1366
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I think it's really gonna be depend on the offense

1367
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: to kind of get it turned around, because I think

1368
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: this defense could be better later in the season. But

1369
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: with how many new guys you're still working in and

1370
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: some of those new guys you have we're still kind

1371
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: of coming back from injuries. It's kind of hard to

1372
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: imagine the Seahawks not putting up a lot of points

1373
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: at Louman Field on Sunday. Good news for Seattle, but

1374
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: definitely a big task for the defense to stop their weapons.

1375
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: He has been Arthur a Titans beat reporter for the

1376
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee and if you want to follow him for updates

1377
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: during the game, Seahawks fans, you can on Twitter at

1378
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: Ben why Arthur. Also, since all of you listening are

1379
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans, he's got a really cool interview with DK

1380
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Metcalf that's pinned right at the top. A really cool

1381
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: look into his background, so not just Titans news there.

1382
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Ben, thank you, Stacy, thanks for having

1383
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: me one. Yeah, all right, now we're gonna kind of

1384
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: like wrap things up. Take a look ahead, you guys.

1385
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I've been seeing so many questions about playing specifically in

1386
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the rain, so we are going to mention that, I know,

1387
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: I know that some people have full confidence, but Jake,

1388
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: I'll probably throw that one to you specifically. So we'll

1389
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 1: come back with our keys to the game, with our

1390
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: final thoughts on the game ahead of this week to

1391
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: matchup between the Seahawks and Titans. This is the huddle.

1392
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to the huddle with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps,

1393
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: and Stacy Ross. We are getting you guys ready for

1394
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks home opener Week two against the Tennessee Titans.

1395
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: It's a return to Looman Field for fans for the

1396
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: first time in a year. As a reminder, make sure

1397
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 1: to bring your masks. Regardless of your vaccination status. You

1398
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: will need a mask and you'll also need proof of

1399
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: vaccination if you're over twelve years old to enter. If

1400
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: you're under twelve. Thank you for listening, stay in school.

1401
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of you. Yeah, all the things that

1402
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: I said, Yeah, don't you kids do this. Listen, don't

1403
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: listen to Wyman. If you're over twelve, you will need

1404
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: proof of vaccination or you need a negative COVID test

1405
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: result take in seventy two hours. So make sure if

1406
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: you won't have vaccination card, get out there today to

1407
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: take your test. I'm gonna. I want to make sure

1408
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: we get to our thoughts and kind of how we're

1409
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: wrapping up with the day. But I have seen so

1410
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: many questions on Twitter over the course of the last

1411
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: couple days about poor weather this weekend. It could be

1412
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: raining on Sunday. How much harder does that make? It

1413
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: a question for both of you in terms of both

1414
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: your pass game and also tackling well linebacker. You know,

1415
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really affect doesn't affect me too much. And it's funny,

1416
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember playing in the rain that much now.

1417
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: Obviously was playing in the Kingdom for most of my career,

1418
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: But like in you know, on the road and stuff,

1419
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I remember in Denver one time it

1420
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: rained the entire The weather in Denver can change like

1421
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: within an hour go, you know, like drop like forty degrees.

1422
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 1: But I remember it rained the whole first half and

1423
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: then the second half it was snowing and frozen, so

1424
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: that that was difficult, you know. But I mean as

1425
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: far as ball security goes and things like that, Yeah,

1426
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: by the way, Darius Leonard, that was just a lucky

1427
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: punch out. I mean, I'm sorry, Yeah, I don't see

1428
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: anything that Carson did. And the reason why I'm bringing

1429
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: it up is just because you're gonna have a slippery football,

1430
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: so you gotta gotta have ball security. And you know,

1431
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks gave up, you know, and they went even

1432
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: in the turnover ratio. By the way, the Titans were

1433
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: like number one in turnover they were last year. They were.

1434
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: They were I think they had twenty they had twenty

1435
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: turnovers or over twenty turnovers in total, and they had

1436
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: thirteen interceptions and they only had twelve giveaways. And that's

1437
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: the big part of it, right, Yeah, they were, they

1438
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 1: were amongst the best in turnover ratio. But a big

1439
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 1: part of that was cornerback Malcolm Butler. And he's no

1440
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: longer on the team. So when Ben Arthur, you know

1441
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: who we were talking about, talking with this last segment

1442
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: talking about how there's so much turnover on defense. There's

1443
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: six new defensive starters. Some of those struggles are from talent,

1444
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: and some of those struggles are just not being on

1445
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: the same page. And that's something that stood out to

1446
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: me as I'm watching the film of the Tennessee Titans.

1447
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, of this last week against the Cardinals. That's

1448
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: something that doesn't get solved and fixed in a week.

1449
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: And we had that experience here in Seattle as well,

1450
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 1: and it took nearly half the season to get that

1451
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: corrected and get that right. So the Seahawks offense, obviously

1452
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: with the weather, with that being into consideration, you have

1453
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: to take care of the football, You have to protect

1454
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: a football. Turnover margin is huge in the game, but

1455
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: it's also an opportunity for you to continue to keep

1456
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 1: stacking really good performances together offensively against a unit that's

1457
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: really struggling. That's what ultimately I want to see out

1458
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks offense. Yeah, what we learned today too,

1459
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: I'll say, like Ben said, there could be some nice

1460
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: opportunities here for Russell Wilson the offense to put up

1461
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: points against a Tennessee defense that's struggling. Like you said, Jake,

1462
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: to get on the same page defensively, you've got to

1463
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: keep their best weapons at bay. I don't know about you, guys,

1464
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you feel the same. I'm not expecting

1465
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: a repeat horrible performance on offense. I think there's plenty

1466
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 1: of room for improvement. And it's hard not to imagine

1467
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 1: that one of the trio of AJ Brown, Derrick Henry

1468
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: or Julio Jones can't come in and potentially have a

1469
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: big day. So what then becomes the most important parts

1470
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: of this game for Seattle's defense? Yeah, well, I'll start

1471
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: with I think those three guys, we would all agree

1472
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: they're extra meeting guys, you know. And that's the thing

1473
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: when you look at you know, some Russell's an extra

1474
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 1: meeting guy. DK probably maybe lock it too. But you know,

1475
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: how are you going to handle these guys? So you know,

1476
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: you wonder if maybe you're going to get help over

1477
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:34,480
Speaker 1: the top. Make sure you know all your underneath droppers,

1478
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: meaning you know, linebackers and safeties. Make sure you get

1479
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 1: deep drops so you're helping out the corners. And then

1480
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, with Derrick Henry, I mean you just have

1481
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: to be physical. You have to come downhill, you know,

1482
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: and just smash mouth football. So and I'm sure he's

1483
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 1: going to be running hard. And that was, you know,

1484
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 1: one of the things I thought last year, early on especially,

1485
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: they were more of a finesse defense than a hit

1486
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: you in the mouth defense. So and we a little

1487
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: bit of that. I thought the D line was really good.

1488
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: The D line can get him before he gets going,

1489
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: that'd be nice good. I mean, but it's we're laughing,

1490
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: but it's exactly what Arizona did. You had the stats

1491
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: about his first half and they held him to something

1492
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 1: like fifty six or fifty eight yards on the ground

1493
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: for the day, and that was a big part of it. Yeah,

1494
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: eight yards on nine carries in the first half. Wild

1495
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,799
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then you know, I'm pretty good third quarter.

1496
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's something that hopefully this D line

1497
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: will be able to get going. I thought also the

1498
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: fact that the D line is so deep, like the rotation,

1499
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,839
Speaker 1: you can put any group in there and feel pretty comfortable.

1500
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 1: For Seattle, Yeah, for the Seahawks. So yeah, I thought

1501
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: that that group really stood out. And again I think

1502
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 1: Darrell Taylor could be that dynamic guy. But how about

1503
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. You know, that's another story. We didn't even

1504
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: talk about him, but I mean, he had one winning

1505
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: season in Miami and a lot of it has to

1506
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: do with who he was surrounded by and everything. But

1507
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, he kind of has resurrected his career there,

1508
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: and you know, certainly has he didn't have a great

1509
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nice he has those weapons, but I

1510
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: feel like he was just an okay franchise quarterback with

1511
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Miami and then he goes to Tennessee and starts to win,

1512
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like he's got the right formula there.

1513
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 1: He does. And Stacy brought this up during Jake and

1514
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Stacy earlier today. Is the fact that you know, he

1515
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: has been able to have a resurrection of his career.

1516
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, they just changed offensive coordinators.

1517
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: Who was a you know Arthur Smith, who's now the

1518
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 1: head coach at the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, he was tight

1519
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 1: ends coach. Now he was a big reason, big reason

1520
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: why they were successful on offense. And now can the

1521
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: former tight end coach step in as the OC and

1522
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: carry on that mantle and carry on that tradition that

1523
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: they've been able to develop offensively over the past two seasons.

1524
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: That remains to be seen. They certainly have the weaponry.

1525
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: But the one thing that the Cardinals did so well

1526
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: the Seahawks did so well against Carson Wentz was the

1527
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: consistent and constant pressure. Don't let those guys get comfortable.

1528
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: They are good quarterbacks. If you give them time, they

1529
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: are good enough to beat you. But if you get

1530
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: in their face, if you rattle them a little bit.

1531
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 1: Speaking as a former quarterback, it changes your eyes, it

1532
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: changes the way you feel the game and how comfortable

1533
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: you sit in that pocket. So the Seahawks can recreate that,

1534
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be That's gonna be a tremendous step for

1535
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: them to show that consistent pass rush. I think that

1536
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 1: that will be something I will be definitely keeping an

1537
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: eye for. All Right, let's just do like a basic

1538
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: keys to the game, and it's just a way to

1539
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: summarize up a lot of these points. Anyways. I'll go

1540
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: first with a very very basic one, which you could

1541
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: say is the key to the game anytime. But the

1542
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Cardinals had a ton of success with it. So that's

1543
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: specifically converting on third down and the red zone. I'd

1544
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: love to see it be a key to the game

1545
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: for this one, just because it's a basic football principle,

1546
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: like a fundamental thing to do, but also because of

1547
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the recent opportunity. Arizona had to be so effective there.

1548
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: They were fifty four percent on third down and eighty

1549
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,839
Speaker 1: percent in the red zone. And lastly, Seattle actually struggled

1550
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: there last year, no matter how effective their offense was

1551
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: early in the season. They finished with record numbers from

1552
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: their two wide receivers from Russell Wilson, but they still

1553
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: weren't great on third down. So I'd love to see

1554
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: that continue. Yeah, well, I think they can take advantage

1555
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: of this defense. You mentioned the six new players that

1556
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Ben Arthur told us about. I guess last year they

1557
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: were dead last in third down conversion their defense fifty

1558
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: two percent they were given up and then they had

1559
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: I was either seventeen or nineteen sacks that they got,

1560
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: which is interesting because Jadeveon Clowney was on that d

1561
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 1: line for a little while, and it's like that guy

1562
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: just sucks the sacks out of the room for whatever reason.

1563
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: I mean, the same thing. You know. In twenty nineteen,

1564
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had twenty eight sacks, which isn't as bad.

1565
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean they're in the teens. I think it was

1566
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: seventeen or nineteen. You know, that's that's terrible. So I

1567
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: mean not a lot of pass rush there and not

1568
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: very good on third down. So you know, if the

1569
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: Seahawk defense, you know, gets taken advantage of a little

1570
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: bit by these by these guys, they come back and

1571
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: you know it might be a shootout. It might be

1572
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 1: that kind of that kind of game. But I have

1573
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence that's in the offense. And I'd say,

1574
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: going in if you ask me which side of the

1575
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: ball had more confidence, and it's the offense. Jake, I'm

1576
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: awful and I left you like thirty seconds. That's okay.

1577
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: I can handle it all right, I'm on the back.

1578
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: We can audible, we can make this happen. So I

1579
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: walk into the same situation as Dave. If you would

1580
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: have told me before the season started, what's this game

1581
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna be like, I would have said a shootout. But

1582
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,799
Speaker 1: the way the defense played last week against against the Colts,

1583
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: against a really good running game and Jonathan Taylor, it

1584
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: really encouraged me. You obviously see the Tennessee Titans really

1585
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 1: struggle offensively. The offensive line. I believe those things are real,

1586
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: and I don't believe that you can just change those

1587
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: things in a week with a limited amount of practice time.

1588
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: So I think this game ultimately comes down to how

1589
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: well the Seahawks defense plays, how good that front seven plays,

1590
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: and can they limit Derrick Henry from being a true

1591
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: difference maker in the game. Tremendous challenge, tremendous task, nearly impossible,

1592
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: but the Cardinals showed that they could do it. They

1593
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: gave them the formula, and if the Seahawks can replicate

1594
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 1: that aspect of it, you might have another very comfortable

1595
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,759
Speaker 1: win for the Seahawks. All Right, That is the huddle

1596
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: with Dave Wyman, Jay Keeps and Stacy Ross. Thank you

1597
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 1: guys so much for tuning in. We hope that you

1598
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:17,040

1600
