• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the last year.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I think just you know, I've said it before, but
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: the starting point, like I feel like we're you know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: the standard is high right now, the catch is completed,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: we all feel a certain way and they had the
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: energy in the juice that togetherness is.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Just is that a premium right now?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: How have you seen the progress of Nick pevan Mauri
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: so far? Here this first week in camp and see
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: the pick six yesterday. Seems like he's flashing more by
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: day here.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he has the ability to flash, and uh,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: it's just continue to grind, continue the bill.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I think he's been incredibly humble in this process. So far.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: He's been a great rookie in our room and.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: He's just learning how to be a pro.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And so we're gonna keep throwing a lot at him
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: because you know we're gonna need him out there this year.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But so far as you know, he's making plays. He's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: doing a great job just about anyone on offense.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: And we asked about the offensive year, they talk about
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: running the ball and the trade DA would said, no
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: before we're gonna hang our hat on. Yeah, someone practicing
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: him gets offense, and he sends that difference.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: In a broad Yeah, it's a you know, they're trying
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to set a standard of how they want to operate,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and you can see it. It's evident they're trying to
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, get off the ball. The receivers are trying
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to block it and trying to block. So it's exciting
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to see just you know, it's trying to develop an
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: identity with you know a lot of new pieces, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: so I was excited to go yet excitedly get new
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: fresh looks every day. And on defense, we're still trying
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to get after him. So it's fun to see them
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: kind of start their process, right.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Can Julie talk a litle about it?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You talk about even worry but just like, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: just guiding these rookies through their first.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Camp, just like how important is it to share what
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: people learned to your career, helping these guys get better.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I mean I've been lucky to have some really good
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: vets and mentors in my kind of career that just
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of changed everything for me, and so
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be that for him, just trying to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: be a resource for him.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Any question he can ask, I know Spoon is trying.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: To be that for him as well as the other
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: guys in the secondary, because, like I said, we need
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: them like it is not a thing of he's a rookie.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be on them a ton like we're gonna
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: be on But it's all in the effort to just
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: help him get better and just be the best where
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: he can be.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: That's what specially about this room. It's not just like talk.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's everyone. You might get a little chippy in the room,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it's that the room behind closed doors, but when we're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: out here, we have each other's backs and we just
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: want everybody to succeed with.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Downy one. It's a great switch up to I think
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what we've had here.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: He presents, you know, a good skill set of just
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: kind of some receiver traits mixing a tightened, tight ended body.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Uh So it's exciting, exciting to get new looks. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I think he has a lot to learn and grow from,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you know. And I like Elijah. I think he's I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: said that Nick's incredibly humble, but Elijah's is he asked questions,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you know, he talks about even if after a play,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm covering him, somebody's covering him, what the situation
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: was leverage wise, He's just in tune with trying to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: figure out, you know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Being a pro a. So I think this guys are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: living for him.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, and it's it's just it's excited to see him
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jackson sometimes like a slot guy. Haven't seen him make
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: players with the outside So again, Yeah, what.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Do you say that his ability to do that as
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: opposed to just underneath lot type stuff.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely wouldn't categorize him as a just a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: slot receiver.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He's I think one of the best receivers in the league.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think he has every skill set that you need
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to be a top end receiver in this league. Speed, rout, running,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: catch radius, yards have to catch. He has everything checked off.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: And so I can't speak high enough about h Jacks.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You know, he works hard, he gets after, he has
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: a little chip on his shoulder. Yeah, So I don't know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I think I hope he gets the recognition that you
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: know is warranted. Uh, this early in his career.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: For defense is defending him in the Cooper Kevin the same.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting because Cooper just has every trick
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of the trade. Obviously, he's been a high level player
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in this league. And Jackson is on his way up
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: as well. It's gonna be fun to watch him. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: mean going against those guys. You know, they they both
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: don't talk much on the field, and as you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the defense talks a lot, but they's just all about action,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: which we love and we appreciate. And so I think, uh,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what what's the nickname that has been coined going around Blackjack?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I like it. I think they're gonna be pretty good
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: In a pool of executives, scout, the coaches, you were
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: voted the top.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Ten top ten taker and you number ten. Anything to you, uh,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who voted a very good my best was a pool.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Of executives, coaches and scout stuff by you were a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: number ten.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uh, that's a rare thing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I feel like, uh, you don't see my name on
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: too many lists, even though I feel like my play
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: is my play warrants it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be the best saved in this league,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: best you know, defensive player in this league. I'm just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: chipping away each day, and recognition or not. I just
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: try to approach it the same way. But yeah, I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: mean the past a few years, I feel like I've
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: operated a really high consistent level. So I appreciate that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Pretty coola. Did you have any reaction contra break out.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's a lot going on and we're you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we're dealing with a lot of internally. I can't speak
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: on it right now too much, but I know, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: right now a lot of us are hard at work
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to figure out next steps.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Uh, in all the nfl p A stuff, thats who
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it is. What would you just like to see from
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the next leader of the Uh, we'll keep that under
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: wraps for now.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I think our process is really detailed right now, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say anything that uh, you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I want to put anything out there right now.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Sends anything different about Mike and your just like to
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: whether to be more comfortable or just like you knowing
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: you guys better feeling different?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It does. Uh, it's tough.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I mean when the culture was so strong in previous
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: years here. Uh, somebody Mike said the term like, we're
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: getting in at the ground level.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: You're getting in the ground floor of the New Seahawks culture.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Embodying what every in the community, the fans bring in
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the history of the team, but just the style of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: how we're going to do it now, which I thought
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: was pretty exciting. Uh, it's just you know, there's a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff that's thrown out there and meetings and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, and that thing. That one phrase caught
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: me because we're trying to build a different standard, different
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: culture here. It's gonna be operated differently. I think you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: guys can tell probably a little bit. So he's suddenly
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in that role and yeah, I think, uh, yeah, we're
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: shifting in in a great direction.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: How do you build how do you get one in here?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: How do you build a new culture without disrespecting the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: past and what it was that was there?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's it is a great place because
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: you have a lot of the past and the culture.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You know, at practice every day and I've been talking to.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Some of the LB guys and uh, you know, they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be here next week, they're going to be out
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of practice, and so it's not like ever we're turning
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: our back.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: We're you know, we're closing the door on what it was.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I think we always need to honor that because that's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: what built this franchise, you know, to be in this
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: new kind of silver air age of football. But we
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: want to be something new, something you know that wants
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to be Mike.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Mike's the head coach for a reason. Things are trying
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to build his way. And so.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You just talked about going and doing your own business,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: doing your thing and not worrying about what they're in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the top ten.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Seem like that exemplifies that that deep.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Room that you're a leader of it. Yeah, it's a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it's a really cool culture.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I think Carl Scott helped kind of foster is like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: we all want to be the best. We all want
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, have all the accolades you can
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you can think of, but it's not a selfish it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: not in a you know, over.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The top egotistical way, like we all have ego.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of ego in that room, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it's I think that kind of the goal of us
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: is bigger than the goal of kind of me, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: so it's it's hard to I don't know how you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Can create that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: It's come pretty natural and we I'm really proud and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: happy to be part of this. Uh.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The secondary room you and your guy back there, Kobe
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Bryant is talking to us about competition. Yeah, personal, lasts deal.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: How's he how do you see him approaching the next
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: right now? Where is he in? Kobe just do has
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder. I mean that guy. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: think I've said this before, but.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Kind of like Michael Jordans, making everything personal.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And you know that that documentary, that's Kobe every day.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: If you slight him, if you talk about him a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: certain way, that's that's fuel to his fire.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And that's what fuel you know, that's what gets him going.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And so Kobe, I mean similar path to me, played
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: multiple positions kind of past bunch of years, and he
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: settled in to be kind of a rock for us. Uh.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And it's excited to see him just be a leader
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and definitely a playmaker. I think when Kobe's on the
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: field and he's gonna be around the ball. That's just
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: been the nature of visity in the past six seven years,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: even back getting back to college when even worried so sorry,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: didn't even worry so high. Did you guys talk about, hey.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: This is a challenge. We bring him in and we developer. Sure, yeah,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: but if you're not draftic guy that had to trade up.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You know, he's probably got.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: A future here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So is there a balancing act? Think Kobe's that you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: guys are doing fans with that, It is a balancing act.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I think I've been in situations like that before, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you know it can be uncomfortable. But from the jump,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: everyone kind of communicated with us what the plan was
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and kind of how we were operating, and so we
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: kind of done what time was and so there's never
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a situation where we're like, you know, not.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Giving him the best of us just because.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You know he's our position. It's just we're trying to
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: do this thing together and the chips fall as they may.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: When you're on the field, you've got to perform at
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: your best. I think my insight of my past has
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: helped that for our kind of room in our situation.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: If you play good ball, the things are going to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: happen for you. And so that I would stay on
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: coaching side. Yeah, because you've done that with going corner
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of being able to safety throughout your career. Why did
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Kobe do it last year? What was it like for
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you seeing you're kind of developed a kind of he said,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: there was a point where you locked in like, oh,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this is where I hate to be at the sword
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: meant to get me a safety. How'd you kind of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: see that manifest himself and how he kind of ruin
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that position.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean thankfully, you know, two years ago, I'll
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: go back a little bit further, he was pseudo transitioning. Obviously,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I was like the third safet at the time, so
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: he was even you know, getting some reps safety. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the biggest difference for corner to safety is like the
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: spatial awareness. Obviously you're a little deeper kind of You're
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: just a different kind of focus, you know, center of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the field type of mindset. And so I mean, so
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I'm taking a jump from learning that to last year
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: and to a point last year, I was just vouching
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: for him to get on the field, Like, regardless of
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: if he's you know, detailed in the technique of playing safety.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He's a ballplayer. I think we got to put ball
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: players on the field. And so now.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: He's detailed in his work and all that stuff, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: that core of who he is I think got him
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to the spot, and so I know he'll be successful
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: because the balls around Kobe's gonna be around it, so
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I can't speak high enough about him because that's my guy.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Did you say black jackets then in dangers? I think so.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, I think ten and eleven? Yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it's not coined or trademarked, that's meally.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Apologies for the touching subject, but asking a bround about
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the NFL office is shooting kid.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Any thoughts your comments on the matter, Yeah, I saw that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, first thoughts regards to and prayers out to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: all the families affected. I saw that a few people
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: passed and it's very sad.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It's very sad situation. I don't know too many details
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: about
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: It, but just I mean, prayers out to all people
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: affected in that situation.
