Pete Carroll: "Geno Has Had A Great Camp" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the mock game.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: And when you when you went back and looked at that,
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: what jumped out of young film.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Well even before we got to the film. The day
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that we put together there was really a big day
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: for us, and that we we we practiced, you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: how we take the field. You know, in pregame, we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: practiced the Saturday review, We did all of that. We
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: get the guys over to the stadium for the first
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: time for a bunch of guys, and showed them how
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we do our procedures, and all of that was all
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: part of why we had mock games, and you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: being here at LOOM and doing it so that we're
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: getting ready for a home home game, home situation, even
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the parking and the drive and all that stuff. We're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: trying to smooth that out for the fella so that
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they had been there before at least once, and so
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that we got a ton done in that regard just
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: before we even started the game. You know, the fact
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that we can set up a game like that and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the coaches get up in the press box and we're
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: running places in from the silence, all of that is
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it just seems more real. And so I love the opportunity.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But more than that, offense and the defense and the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: first groups both both did well. They both executed well.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: The offense scored three times. I called off one of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the drivers just because it was a fifteen play drive,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: so I kicked field goal instead of keeping going plays wise.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But they did a nice job executing. Pass protection was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: really good. I thought Gino looked like he picked up
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: right where he left off, and so all of that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: felt good. On the other side of the ball, we
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: fit right well in the running game and in hustled around,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: got the line of scrimmage as close as we can
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: get it to live for both sides of the football.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So we gained a.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Lot in that and I think it helped us take
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the next step getting ready for Thursday, And so I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was really pleased with it. You know, you can ask
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: me about a bunch of different guys. There was a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: lot of guys did good things. All in all. One
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of the big areas of issue was penalties. We were
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: sloppy at the line of scrimmage, gave up some stuff
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that we didn't need to give up, and a couple
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of things on defense as well, to give first downs
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: when we had a chance to stop them. So we're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: trying to really clean all that up with emphasis and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: make sure that we don't carry that on. We got
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to get our game clean.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So that that showed up. What'd you find out about
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: back Intosh?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Very good news that he's got a sprain that might
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: be a couple of weeks and so, uh, we're you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it looked, it looked nasty, but he's the flexible, extraordinary
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: athlete that he was. He made it through that that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: awkward position that he got in and and uh and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: came out. Okay, he's walking around and all that's got
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: a little swelling. We think it's a it's a like
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a first degree type of sprain. So we're we're very
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lucky there. Not so for h For Whittaker, he he
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: had a legit patal injury and and Ptell a tenant
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: injury and he's gonna have to have.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Some more time. Do anything more about Darryl Taylor.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He's doing well if he feels you know, he's getting
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: better every day. He's feeling stronger and feeling more confident.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: We don't think it's gonna take very long.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It getting starty.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: We saw him run around a lot.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He did great today that this It was always just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: kind of creeping him back into it, so we didn't,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't miss anything in the return. He
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: did really well today. He was still limited in his
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: numbers of reps, but he did full speed stuff for us.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So he'll be back for the rest of the week here,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: hopefully if he comes out of today, all right, sorry.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: How important is it to come back for him to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: come back? He's back.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's great to get him back here. He comes off
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: pup today. His workouts have been extraordinary and we can't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: keep him on any other he's just too close. We're
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: still going to take care of him and make sure
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: that we get him back to the football movements and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the football kind of changes directions and things in more
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: competitive situations. He took individual today and it'll be a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: little different tomorrow and in the process. But and this week,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we'll be really quiet this week and we won't give
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: him a lot of work, but we're stressing him in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the workouts, in the rehab work to make sure that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he's getting there and he feels great. He's really confident
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in it, and we're gonna make him be begging to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: get back out.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: There to watch the new guys and the new acquisitions.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: But what have you've seen in last year's rocky class
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: in how much or or helpless they.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's really one of the real highlights of this camp
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to me, seeing Mafe and and the tackles, Uh just
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: jump back into action, you know, and and do stuff
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: like like they were. They're way ahead of where they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: were a year ago. And that's that's really to me.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It's one of the themes of the strong part of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what's going on in camp is those guys in their advancement,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you know. And then you if you guys talk to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: them and they'll all tell you because I've I've talked
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to every one of them, and they have a really
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: clear sense of how much more they understand now about
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the game. And it's that's only going to help us
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to the positive. So really fired up about that we've.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Got them this a little bit when came back.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: But the value of being able to do the walkthroughs for
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: these guys and they come off pub even if you're
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: limiting your just what.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Do they getting? Yeah, the walkthroughs are really important and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I can't wait till we can get Jordan back out
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he's really close to he looks He and Jamala both
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: looked really good. They can imagine more, you know, football wise,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: even when they don't get the practice by going through
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: those reps, because those are those are high quality reps
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for us, you know, and their assignments are at hand,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and the tempo that we maintain to get the reps
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in there, it's just really good mental preparation for them.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So and for you know, Reecus, he's a sophomore too,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just coming back. I don't know how
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm so stuck on the sophomore thing, but but he's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: one of those guys you know, and so and he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: also would tell you that, you know, he's just he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so excited to get back out because he sees the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: game differently than he did a year ago and looking
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: forward to it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Have it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I say, it was just going to be in John
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: for a while here with.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Back to see just kind of joining Michael Jackson in
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the competition there.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: What do you sort of how do you sort of
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: looking at that right now?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to get him back out there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He's the starter for us.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He's been a starter, and he earned it and did
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a great job last year. Well, so I'll just easing
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: back in. Depends who who's on his side at that time.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: What jumped out to you about your rookie class In
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: my game, the guys were playing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Up, there were there were a couple extremes. Some of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the guys felt comfortable, and some of the guys looked
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like a little jittery, you know, a little a little
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: different than they had looked in practice. And so it's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: really important that we had that, you know, that opportunity
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to see that, because otherwise it would happened on Thursday night,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know likely. So I think we can smooth some
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: things out. But they're all excited, but they it's the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: process that I'm concerned about. And so some guys might
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have done more than they should have in pregame and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: more than they should have, you know, in preparation during
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the day. That's all the stuff we're trying to learn
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: so we can maximize that time frame.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know, those those.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Prep opportunities are crucial for mentality and also the physical
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: side of it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I think its accident de specific.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: What do I think of their They both did really well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They both were very comfortable. They excelled, you know, in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the opportunities and the communications and and all that. They're
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: they're really good football players, you know, they're really natural
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and and things come easy to them and you get shows.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I think that game help further the evaluation at the center.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we continued to see it going in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a competitive sense.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Evan's ahead.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: He's ahead just because of his experience, and so if
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: we were playing today, he would go first, and Old
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: who's doing a great job. He hasn't had anything negative
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: about any other His wrist was sore for a couple
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of days that held him back, but other than that,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he's right in there and the competition continues.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Cliff and Mike out there helping out today. So I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: know you have guys come back there all the time,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: but one of those two brains.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great to have him in the in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the meetings and and have him with the defense, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's kind of remarkable how smooth that feels,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it doesn't feel like a distraction.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It all just feels like, yeah, they're supposed to be here,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: kind of you know. It's just when when any of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: our guys come back that have been with us for
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a number of years. It's it's just interesting how they
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: just kind of just blend in, you know. And and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: both those guys are having fun, they're they're fired up
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and competing today on the field. It was great to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: see him. So I'm I love that they're here.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Notice the young guys being star struck by by any
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: of those guys that come back.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they definitely are.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And they they'll, you know, they'll respond to them a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: little differently, you know, because of their their history and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: all that, and they're well known, and these guys know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you know, they have a thought and then all of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a sudden they're facing you know, Michael Bennett and what
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: he's gonna say. I don't either, you know. So I'm
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: kind of the same as them.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Are they gonna be around for a while? I think
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the rest of this week? Yeah, it's almost toe.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I just banged his tone of ground or something like that,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't know the extent of it at the time,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I think, So, I don't know, I don't know any
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: more than that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: A couple of years into that wishful, hopeful optimism. Here
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: we're a couple of years into the three game preseason schedule.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: So you go into this week, what have you learned
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years with just three as.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Opposed to four. Oh, tremendous volumes of information have come
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: to me over these these couple of years.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where to begin. Uh. Yeah, we
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just kind of fitted in, you know. I don't know
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that we fit into old thinking, but we fitted into,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you know, the best way to try to, you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: kind of manufacture a good process to the ballgame. The
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: opener that I really like, the week off, that's a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: great opport, a great setting for us to prepare. It's also, uh,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we're in better shape with where the cuts go down.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That's way better that we have all of the players
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: through the three games, and that's that was always a nightmare.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And and uh, it's better for the players, it's better
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: for the coaches, it's better for the product, it's better
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for everything, you know. So that's a really good decision.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So I think there's some positives to it the way
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the way it's shaped up. And I would easily forfeit
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the game to get that extra week for the players
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to return. They're just going, they're just kind of going
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: day by day right now. When and they're monitoring how
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he responds to the little things, the things that he's doing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: He's got a kind of a hip abdomen kind of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: deal that they're they're they're trying to sort out. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: sometimes those things, the mysterious ones, kind of turn into
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: being that athletic urny of stuff, you know, and we're
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: hoping that's not the case.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: We're hoping he can recover so he.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have to have any any work done. So as
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: far as we know now, he's he's going day by day.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Will Will Willison still get snaps.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: On the outside.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The reference. Yeah, Joey's done really well. Joey's been a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: real bright spot. He's really stepped up. And there's another
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there's a second year guy that comes back to us
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and uh, it just seems more comfortable and playing faster.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He's got really good speed and it shows up more now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: He's more sure of himself, has some really good fits
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in the running game of the last really last week,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and then he did again in the game a couple
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of times, so he's doing a nice job. Probably the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: guy that jumped out with the most big hits in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the game was Kobe. You know, he has some really
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: good smacks and he's not able to you know, in
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: our situation, we weren't able to tackle full speed yet,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: but that didn't hold him back from making his hits
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and it was really obvious. So he's real serious about
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the work that he's doing, you know, in the DIN
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: package and also at safety.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Today and I had the rest day for a tiler. Yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts at all and what's kind
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: of happened with the PAC to Pact.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: PAC twelve, You know, I don't.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I don't have enough information to comment clearly, but I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: really disappointed, you know, I would think I would. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: would think that there's a lot of people, a lot
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of fans that are disappointed too, you know. And I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know it's a financial turn that they do, you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and they've got to make their decisions at all. But no,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: there's something about the tradition of it that gets lost,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and I don't know where they recapture that, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they recapture the traditions that had
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: stood for so long. And it's not just our you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: our conference out here around the country too, But I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: really don't understand. But I'm pretty disappointed in college football
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: right now in general. I'm just disappointed that it's gone
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the way it's gone, with all of the stuff that's happened.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I hope they can, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: get it right and it comes out way better than
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: maybe I can imagine it in my limited.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Capacity here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm sure I'm just kind of like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the tradition of it that I feel like we're missing,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, and all that, and and.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you recapture.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: That we thought about wrong.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Just had a camp that Gino's after.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I think Gino's had a great camp. He looked so
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: comfortable the other night. Protection worked beautifully for him. Guys
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: up front did a great job to give him a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: chance to see everything. We've we've we've done a lot
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of stuff in this early which she's been here nine
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: days now, but we've done a lot of stuff to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: work on some things and expand some stuff, and we've
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: tested the secondary really extensively with the ball down field,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and he's been able to handle all of that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: He's been aggressive and very.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Aggressive and he's really confident. I mean again today he
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: had a beautiful day to day just and it's not
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just dinking the ball around. We're throwing them all over
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the yard. And he's able to handle all of the situations.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And a big part of it is working together with
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the old line that they're doing a really good job
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for him. So he gets the chance to see things clearly,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and he knows he's going to get time and he
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: can feel that he is and and and he also
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: has confidence and then picking stuff up when we presure him.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: It's just a big part of the quarterback's position, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that that security that he feels and guys are working
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: hard to get give him that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: You just mentioned the line, and earlier you said that
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the two tackles kind of you're one year two, do
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: you look back on kind of marveling what.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Those two were able to get done?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Really, and that was.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, that was a lot to ask to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: those guys. But both guys were so solid. You know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they never even wavered at all. You would never have
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: known that they were stressed at all about it. But
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I know they feel the benefits of all that they
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: endured to get through it, you know, And so now
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it's it's a different ballgame for him. And so we're
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: really expecting them to keep going and having more fun
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and enjoy that. Now they know when they can enjoy
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it when they can't, you know when it's a good thing.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And they didn't even know before, you know.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So it's just very obvious. How's Pedberg Curvin done since
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he came out first? Done a nice job.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Now he he's looked full speed and he's one of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the guys I'm really excited to see hope, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: hope we get a good shot to show him on
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, just to get him back in it. But
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he's not skipped to beat. I mean, just got right
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: in the action. And as soon as we let him
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: go with the numbers, he took off with it. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he's done a good job. We know we have a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: really instinctive kid and the guy that can play the game,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and so we're just anxious to see how once he
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: gets back to full speed playing, you know how it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: comes out.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: So really with high hopes.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Jackson is the first guy returning punts yesterday. What do
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: you like about him?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: In metaphor? He's a great catcher and he's a phenomenal catcher.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He's got great sense and awareness. Uh, and I know
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that he's a complete athlete and decision making, which is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a big part of that position. I have no question
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in that, so he'll be available to do that
