Pete Carroll: "We Have To Start Rolling Here" · Seahawks Press Pass

Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Jen you're on the clock.
0:04
Speaker 2: When you look at yesterday's game, what is the most
0:06
Speaker 2: surprising element of that outcome?
0:09
Speaker 3: How obvious the big plays factored in. You know, there's
0:12
Speaker 3: three huge plays in the game for their offense, and
0:15
Speaker 3: they all led the scores. And you know that's twenty
0:18
Speaker 3: one to twenty eight, you know, so and there were
0:20
Speaker 3: plays that we could have obviously really made much different
0:24
Speaker 3: on the defensive side. The big run to start the thing,
0:28
Speaker 3: I'll set the field and you know, tilted the field.
0:30
Speaker 3: The third down long play we have it defended. And
0:35
Speaker 3: then the play that George Kittle on a play action
0:38
Speaker 3: pass is not a difficult play for us to defend,
0:41
Speaker 3: and but we gave it to him. And so those
0:43
Speaker 3: plays really factored into the outcome of the game. I
0:45
Speaker 3: think along with that, the fact that there's twenty three
0:49
Speaker 3: you know, exposive plays in the game and they got twelve,
0:52
Speaker 3: we got eleven. Was that's it was a big play
0:55
Speaker 3: for football game and they had the better of it.
1:00
Speaker 4: What if anything changes about the messaging this week, we have.
1:04
Speaker 3: To you know, we've got four games at the end
1:06
Speaker 3: of the schedule here that makes up this really the
1:08
Speaker 3: old time fourth quarter of the season and this is
1:10
Speaker 3: our shot. It's our shot to do something, and we
1:13
Speaker 3: had our opportunity this past weekend. We didn't get it
1:15
Speaker 3: done to get it started, but we got to start
1:17
Speaker 3: a role here and you know, coming up on Monday night,
1:20
Speaker 3: it's a great team, you know, here we go and
1:22
Speaker 3: so we're gonna we're gonna face it and we got
1:24
Speaker 3: to do something about it to make something out of
1:26
Speaker 3: this year.
1:28
Speaker 5: Corbyn, yesterday you mentioned the big plays happening on familiar
1:34
Speaker 5: concepts that you guys have seen, nothing new from the
1:36
Speaker 5: forty nine ers. How surprised are you that that's happening
1:39
Speaker 5: in a passing game with the experience that you guys
1:41
Speaker 5: have at the safety position. Where do they fit in
1:44
Speaker 5: right now with those struggles, Well.
1:46
Speaker 3: That one of them, you know, was in the safety area,
1:48
Speaker 3: the other one was the corner. It looked like, you know,
1:52
Speaker 3: it looks it's hard for you guys to tell how
1:55
Speaker 3: things work there. But I don't think it necessarily has
1:59
Speaker 3: to do with the safety position in general. I think
2:00
Speaker 3: we just got to make our plays. Those are just
2:03
Speaker 3: well executed plays by them, but plays that that we've seen,
2:06
Speaker 3: you know, and we practiced and worked against and so, uh,
2:08
Speaker 3: that's why I say it in the way I said it.
2:10
Speaker 3: Those are there was nothing new about those things. We
2:12
Speaker 3: should just execute well in those situations, and we didn't.
2:18
Speaker 1: Michael sean really good job, Pete.
2:21
Speaker 4: When you said Geno can't push off in one direction,
2:23
Speaker 4: do you mean like he can't hitch up or he
2:26
Speaker 4: can't change direction? What do you mean?
2:27
Speaker 3: You know, when it opens when you when you have
2:29
Speaker 3: a groin injury for those athletics background guys, Uh, you know,
2:34
Speaker 3: and you push, you push one way or the other
2:38
Speaker 3: in away from the side of the groin, and it's sore.
2:41
Speaker 3: You can feel it, you know. So it can be
2:43
Speaker 3: it can have to do with opening up and running.
2:45
Speaker 3: You can have to do with striding to throw, you know,
2:48
Speaker 3: changing direction and things like that. When you have to
2:50
Speaker 3: call on that side, it activates and that's that's why
2:53
Speaker 3: you feel your groin when it's sore, you know. So,
2:56
Speaker 3: but he did quite a bit in pregames, so he
2:58
Speaker 3: did move around. He was testing it out, and he
3:01
Speaker 3: kind of found the you know, the the parameters of
3:04
Speaker 3: what he could and couldn't do. And so we'll see,
3:07
Speaker 3: you know, how he comes back these couple of days
3:08
Speaker 3: right here are just so valuable for him getting all
3:12
Speaker 3: the treatment he gets and then just the rest time
3:14
Speaker 3: and we'll come back. We don't practice it until Thursday,
3:16
Speaker 3: you know, so that we've got to break here. We'll
3:18
Speaker 3: see what happens with.
3:19
Speaker 4: With Drew if he has to play against Philly. What
3:21
Speaker 4: would you like to see him do better or different
3:24
Speaker 4: than he did on Sunday against.
3:25
Speaker 3: He did a lot of really good things. There's a
3:26
Speaker 3: couple of choices, you know, a couple of decisions in
3:28
Speaker 3: there that he threw the ball in the coverage, didn't
3:30
Speaker 3: get the right throw on the big deep ball that
3:32
Speaker 3: he threw, and and the other one he threw one
3:35
Speaker 3: into into coverage that was that was really dangerous. You
3:38
Speaker 3: can't fault him on the ball that gets tipped at
3:40
Speaker 3: the end. You know that that was the pass rush.
3:42
Speaker 3: But there's gonna be plays in the next game. There's
3:46
Speaker 3: a place for every quarterback on every game. You know
3:48
Speaker 3: that you wish you'd had that one back and you
3:50
Speaker 3: don't do that. So I think that was a pretty
3:51
Speaker 3: normal football game and him showing us what he can
3:55
Speaker 3: do and how he can make things happen and and
3:57
Speaker 3: and be comfortable in the moment and all of that.
4:00
Speaker 3: He was very pope poised about this in the most
4:04
Speaker 3: difficult situation. So I think that just bodes well for him,
4:07
Speaker 3: you know, down the road.
4:09
Speaker 1: Thanks sure, John Boyle.
4:13
Speaker 3: For the non athlete.
4:16
Speaker 5: That's a lot of us.
4:17
Speaker 6: I think people going back to drud just what if
4:22
Speaker 6: he does play this week or whenever he has to
4:24
Speaker 6: play next, what kind of value is there in getting
4:26
Speaker 6: that experience going on the road playing a defense like that.
4:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is it, This is really he needed to
4:32
Speaker 3: be in this situation with our uniform and you know,
4:34
Speaker 3: and playing for us and all that. He's had games
4:36
Speaker 3: in the past, but it's been a while and to
4:39
Speaker 3: come back. I don't know how he would have been
4:42
Speaker 3: more more prepared mentally to take this challenge on just
4:47
Speaker 3: judging by how he responded and how he handled it
4:50
Speaker 3: and how he communicated, how he handled the huddle and
4:52
Speaker 3: all of the calls and the situations and all of
4:54
Speaker 3: that and the adjustments on the silence at halftime in all,
4:56
Speaker 3: I mean, he was he was a real pro about it.
4:59
Speaker 3: So that's a great sign. And he's been you know,
5:03
Speaker 3: preparing for this and he came through in that regard.
5:05
Speaker 3: So it's a. It's a good moment for him and
5:07
Speaker 3: it is very valuable for him. Uh. And I saw
5:10
Speaker 3: him a couple of times take the big you know,
5:12
Speaker 3: kind of the big breath, you know, the kind of
5:14
Speaker 3: the sigh and okay, here we go, you know, and
5:16
Speaker 3: he was ready, and I was. I was really proud of.
5:21
Speaker 7: Bob.
5:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was.
5:25
Speaker 9: Wonder if you get clarified that Devin Weather Devin Witherspoon situation.
5:28
Speaker 9: It seems like we've heard his injury characterized in a
5:31
Speaker 9: couple of different ways. And then also with Frank Clark,
5:33
Speaker 9: was he just did he just not make the trip
5:36
Speaker 9: because he was going to be active?
5:39
Speaker 3: Yes on that case. Uh. With Devin, yeah, I thought
5:43
Speaker 3: it was Ribs after I think postgame I might have
5:45
Speaker 3: said that to you. I thought that's what it was.
5:47
Speaker 3: We found out and took pictures of it. It's it's
5:49
Speaker 3: a legitimate hip pointer, okay, which is you know, he
5:52
Speaker 3: took a knee in hip and uh, that's that's what
5:56
Speaker 3: he's dealing with. So he was way better today than
5:59
Speaker 3: he was yesterday and him discomfort and so we'll hopefully
6:02
Speaker 3: we'll make some good progress on that, and we won't
6:03
Speaker 3: know until late in the week. How he's doing though,
6:07
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that what you're asking about?
6:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and already burns any clarification.
6:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has an old knee, just got it tweaked
6:15
Speaker 3: a little bit, and I think he's gonna be okay.
6:17
Speaker 3: It sounds like.
6:19
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Maddie Brown.
6:24
Speaker 2: Asides from the opening play, how would you assess the
6:27
Speaker 2: rest of the run defense against the forty nine ers?
6:30
Speaker 3: Come on, Maddie, that's all you got?
6:33
Speaker 2: Well, okay, no, no, no, no question.
6:35
Speaker 3: I forget that. I can't hear you, Maddie. I think
6:37
Speaker 3: I think you might cut out the uh yeah, yeah.
6:40
Speaker 3: They had one hundred yards you know, and uh in
6:42
Speaker 3: twenty two carries, you know, other than that play and uh,
6:45
Speaker 3: that would have been you know, an average a little
6:49
Speaker 3: bit less than average night for us, and would have
6:51
Speaker 3: been obviously way more manageable and less impacting. Of course,
6:55
Speaker 3: so may it's the seventy two yard plays. A seventy
6:56
Speaker 3: two yard play, you know that that that rexture your numbers, know,
7:00
Speaker 3: But more importantly, you know, we did play a lot
7:03
Speaker 3: of good players, and we had a lot of good stuff.
7:04
Speaker 3: They're going to execute too. They're a great running football team.
7:07
Speaker 3: They had two other runs that were really legit runs
7:09
Speaker 3: that they really blocked us on and got out and
7:11
Speaker 3: made about fifteen yards or something like that. But all
7:13
Speaker 3: in all, it was not a bad day on The
7:15
Speaker 3: running game was just the first one that really wrecked
7:17
Speaker 3: the day.
7:18
Speaker 2: Is there something perhaps to you guys being a bit
7:20
Speaker 2: less familiar with based defense and so and how you're
7:24
Speaker 2: running like an under front in base this past game
7:26
Speaker 2: And it takes guys a bit of.
7:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, it shouldn't, you know, because it's something we practice
7:34
Speaker 3: every week and and all that. We just the first play,
7:37
Speaker 3: we just attacked them more and ran over ran well
7:41
Speaker 3: because we're all jacked up to go play. We're trying
7:43
Speaker 3: to get off the line of scrimmage and we try
7:44
Speaker 3: to go get to the toss on our first shot,
7:46
Speaker 3: and we just played it. We overplayed the play and
7:50
Speaker 3: it just looked terrible with the big cutback lean that
7:52
Speaker 3: happened on it. So it was a combination of things
7:55
Speaker 3: that you could see from the very next play and
7:57
Speaker 3: then the running plays that came in after that. It
7:59
Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't the case like that. We were really jacked
8:02
Speaker 3: and we all kind of over responded a little.
8:03
Speaker 2: Bit I guess the way that they shift their tight
8:09
Speaker 2: hand off the line of scrimmage very quickly of the
8:12
Speaker 2: snap is a fairly unique challenge for the RUNDI preparing
8:16
Speaker 2: for that.
8:16
Speaker 3: No, No, they there's a lot of quick motions and
8:20
Speaker 3: shifts nowadays in the game, and double movement movements, shifts,
8:24
Speaker 3: double motions and stuff that have happened, and that we're
8:26
Speaker 3: really prepared for all of that. That's not a factor anymore. Right,
8:36
Speaker 3: I can't hear you. You're saying they're not executing the
8:40
Speaker 3: game plan and all the I didn't really say that.
8:44
Speaker 3: Go ahead, yeah, go ahead.
8:48
Speaker 2: Okay, they aren't executing that.
8:51
Speaker 10: Plus the fact of all the high hopes you had
8:54
Speaker 10: entering the season and the excitement you had, how difficult
8:57
Speaker 10: personally is this for you?
8:58
Speaker 9: Right now?
9:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me go to the first part of that one.
9:02
Speaker 3: It's really disappointing for me that with all the work
9:05
Speaker 3: we put in that we we miss on an opportunity
9:07
Speaker 3: to do something right. You know, we we practice and
9:10
Speaker 3: prepare to do right in the games. That's really what
9:13
Speaker 3: this whole thing is all about. And so when the
9:15
Speaker 3: time presents itself, the opportunity presents itself, you're in the
9:18
Speaker 3: right spot and you see things the right way and
9:20
Speaker 3: you do and you respond, you know perfectly just what
9:22
Speaker 3: we're trying to get done. And so whenever that doesn't
9:26
Speaker 3: show up, I take it personal. You know, it's it's personal.
9:29
Speaker 3: It's a personal response out of me because I'm trying
9:33
Speaker 3: to get these guys right and it isn't as clean
9:35
Speaker 3: or sharp as it should be. So when we miss
9:37
Speaker 3: a route read and they score a touchdown on third
9:40
Speaker 3: and long, you know that that pisses me off in
9:42
Speaker 3: a lot of ways, on a lot of levels. And uh,
9:45
Speaker 3: you know, we have to do better, you know, we
9:48
Speaker 3: have to recognize and see it. And then when we
9:50
Speaker 3: give up easy stuff, whether it's on either side of
9:52
Speaker 3: the ball, it things that we've worked on really hard.
9:56
Speaker 3: There's things that happen in games for the first time.
9:58
Speaker 3: Often you know, there's a new play, it's a new twist.
10:00
Speaker 3: It's this that happens a guy the ball bounces differently,
10:03
Speaker 3: or they make a cut or something that makes makes
10:05
Speaker 3: a different response for the players. Necessary those things, you know,
10:08
Speaker 3: you can understand that, and those happen. We try to
10:11
Speaker 3: survive those things as they happen. But when things happen
10:14
Speaker 3: the way we prepare them that that's what we need
10:16
Speaker 3: to do better than that. And that's when you're playing
10:18
Speaker 3: a really good team, you're gonna lose that way. And
10:19
Speaker 3: that's that's what happened. You know that this was a
10:21
Speaker 3: really good football game. This was a lot of battling
10:23
Speaker 3: going on. We moved the football on them too, and
10:26
Speaker 3: we did a lot of good things. But they were
10:29
Speaker 3: more capable than we were in the in the crucial
10:31
Speaker 3: moments of making the players that need to be made.
10:33
Speaker 3: And you know, give them credit. They won the game.
10:35
Speaker 6: And all your many teams you coach, how many have
10:38
Speaker 6: not executed.
10:40
Speaker 3: Like this, all of them, all of them. It's just
10:44
Speaker 3: a matter of how much. And when the time comes
10:48
Speaker 3: the game is is such a it's a it's a
10:52
Speaker 3: it's a frustration of a pursuit of perfection and you
10:56
Speaker 3: just can't get it. But that doesn't mean that you
10:58
Speaker 3: don't keep going for it. And I think it is
11:00
Speaker 3: it is the ire and the juice that you get
11:02
Speaker 3: out of the fact that you've got to fight your
11:04
Speaker 3: way to try to make it right and to get
11:06
Speaker 3: it right the next time. It is what keeps keeps
11:08
Speaker 3: you coming back to it, you know, And so it's
11:12
Speaker 3: never perfect. There's always stuff. Sometimes you survive it better
11:15
Speaker 3: than others. And if it's a constant, which this isn't,
11:17
Speaker 3: hasn't been a constant where we give up easy plays
11:20
Speaker 3: in those situations, is that this isn't what happened. It
11:22
Speaker 3: happened in this game. And so you know, that was
11:25
Speaker 3: just really frustrating because this was a chance to beat
11:27
Speaker 3: these guys at their place. We had a shot out
11:29
Speaker 3: to do that. We moved the football well enough to
11:31
Speaker 3: get some points on the board. We're gonna have to
11:33
Speaker 3: stop them all night long. We didn't get it done.
11:37
Speaker 7: Ma's veto I think this morning, I think you talked
11:40
Speaker 7: about belief, commitment, and consistency, and right now, obviously you've
11:44
Speaker 7: got the to belief, the commitment. How do you build
11:47
Speaker 7: that consistency just in terms of the players, and does
11:50
Speaker 7: it have to do kind of what you talked about
11:52
Speaker 7: recognize and seeing.
11:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's a it's a really good question.
11:58
Speaker 3: It's a really good question because it takes so much
12:01
Speaker 3: to present the product that gets on the field on
12:05
Speaker 3: game day. The decisions that you make, the things that
12:08
Speaker 3: you see that you might be able to do, you
12:11
Speaker 3: install in the game plan you ask guys to execute.
12:14
Speaker 3: You make decisions on whether they can or they can't.
12:16
Speaker 3: Is it gonna work, is it gonna fit? Are they
12:17
Speaker 3: gonna be able to hold the information? That's the process
12:20
Speaker 3: of coaching football. It's such an intricate game with so
12:22
Speaker 3: many moving parts. That's that's what you're constantly in pursuit of,
12:26
Speaker 3: is to get that right and get that clear. And
12:28
Speaker 3: so it's I don't know, I would say it's it
12:32
Speaker 3: continues to frustrate me, as it has my entire career.
12:35
Speaker 3: It's always been. It's always been part of it. You know,
12:38
Speaker 3: you can't quite get it just right, but you keep
12:40
Speaker 3: fighting for it, and you keep when you get it
12:41
Speaker 3: right more than the other guys, and you are when
12:44
Speaker 3: the opportunities present themselves you can take advantage of it
12:46
Speaker 3: more than the other guys. You win. And I don't know,
12:49
Speaker 3: maybe that seems oversimplified to you guys, I don't know,
12:52
Speaker 3: but that's what it feels like to me.
12:55
Speaker 7: In your running game, you got seventy total yards, But
12:58
Speaker 7: did you get the combination diverse city, if you will,
13:01
Speaker 7: of those two backs?
13:02
Speaker 3: Not quite as much, yea, not as much as we
13:04
Speaker 3: would like we would like to run the ball another
13:06
Speaker 3: ten times in that game, you know, and get it
13:08
Speaker 3: up in the thirties. That's what I was hoping for
13:10
Speaker 3: the numbers of plays. It didn't happen, but uh, you
13:14
Speaker 3: could see the mix and you can see the variation
13:16
Speaker 3: in their style, and that's what that's what I think
13:19
Speaker 3: presents a problem. Uh, Zach's got some stuff now, that
13:22
Speaker 3: downhill stuff. When he's coming at you, he's hard to gauge.
13:25
Speaker 3: He makes guys miss regularly and aggressively. And Kenny's flashier
13:30
Speaker 3: than that. He's he's he's different than that style, and
13:32
Speaker 3: he's very explosive and creative with his running. And so
13:36
Speaker 3: it's just to create the create the ongoing you know,
13:39
Speaker 3: concern for their team to try to figure out who
13:41
Speaker 3: they're going against and how they're going to make the tackle,
13:42
Speaker 3: how they're gonna make the play, and the same place
13:45
Speaker 3: hit differently with those guys at times. And that's a
13:47
Speaker 3: good thing.
13:49
Speaker 2: Thank you. Tim.
13:51
Speaker 3: Do we say goat army anywhere? No, we ever said that.
13:54
Speaker 3: Let the whole thing go Geez.
13:57
Speaker 9: You should not let that go open, can thank you?
14:01
Speaker 3: John Raddageant asked me to say that, how is Trey
14:04
Speaker 3: Brown doing he should be okay. He tried to get
14:07
Speaker 3: it going in pregame, couldn't go, couldn't quite get it.
14:10
Speaker 3: He was close. So he'll have a really good chance
14:13
Speaker 3: this week.
14:14
Speaker 5: And then what did you think of the way Tarik
14:16
Speaker 5: played yesterday?
14:17
Speaker 6: And then maybe if you can encapsulate his whole season
14:20
Speaker 6: to day, how he's played so far.
14:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, it hasn't been the season that he had dreamed of.
14:24
Speaker 3: He got a knee injury in camp. You know, right
14:27
Speaker 3: off the bat, he's he's recovering from an injury he's
14:30
Speaker 3: never he has no background in it at all, skilled
14:33
Speaker 3: athlete and all that. It took a lot out of
14:34
Speaker 3: him and the setback in time, the times when we
14:37
Speaker 3: would have a really good opportunity to really bounce back
14:41
Speaker 3: from the terrific season that he had as a rook
14:45
Speaker 3: it was going to take a lot of preparation and
14:47
Speaker 3: prep to get him back on course again. And because
14:50
Speaker 3: it happened in such a splash for him, so he
14:53
Speaker 3: missed that opportunity unfortunately. So he hasn't been I don't
14:55
Speaker 3: think at his best. In the last four to six weeks,
15:00
Speaker 3: his coverage has really picked up. His numbers are pretty
15:02
Speaker 3: good in coverage. You know, we look at past defense
15:06
Speaker 3: and explosives and in that ratio there, and he's he's
15:09
Speaker 3: in good shape right there. His tackling needs to be
15:12
Speaker 3: you know, continued, continually addressed so he doesn't get knocked around,
15:15
Speaker 3: doesn't miss his opportunities. He missed a couple of the
15:17
Speaker 3: other day. But he's he's working hard to getting after.
15:20
Speaker 3: He had a couple good hits last week and got
15:23
Speaker 3: close to a couple of good ones this week. So
15:25
Speaker 3: we'll continue to try to develop them. But I think
15:27
Speaker 3: it's been it's been a work in progress. You know,
15:29
Speaker 3: it hasn't been the smooth transition from year one to
15:31
Speaker 3: year two and capture all of the benefit of that
15:35
Speaker 3: and and so you know, he's working hard at it.
15:41
Speaker 11: Brady, Yeah, I know you said that Devin is if
15:45
Speaker 11: he for Monday Night, but if he does play, that'll
15:47
Speaker 11: be two of the top guys for defensive Rookie of
15:50
Speaker 11: the year in that game.
15:51
Speaker 8: I'm just wondering, going back to the pre draft process, what.
15:55
Speaker 1: Was your evaluation of Jalen Carter as a player and
15:59
Speaker 1: as a person.
16:00
Speaker 3: He thought he was a great player, really did. He
16:01
Speaker 3: was dynamic physically, so explosive and strong, played aggressively, played tough,
16:09
Speaker 3: played on a great team, great championship team. You know,
16:11
Speaker 3: there was a lot of real positives there. It's a
16:13
Speaker 3: great pick.
16:15
Speaker 8: And what did you learn about him when you brought
16:16
Speaker 8: him in for a visit for the draft.
16:18
Speaker 3: He's a good kid, easy to talk to, comfortable, confident,
16:23
Speaker 3: got along really well.
16:25
Speaker 8: And then one more just with Devin. Obviously he got
16:27
Speaker 8: hurt yesterday, but what's your evaluation of how he's come
16:30
Speaker 8: along and the way he's played this year?
16:33
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think it's we've all had an
16:36
Speaker 3: opportunity to evaluate Spoon. You know, we've seen him in
16:41
Speaker 3: so many situations already. You can see the explosive makeup
16:44
Speaker 3: that he has, the instincts that he has, the playmaking,
16:47
Speaker 3: the toughness, the juice, the natural football instincts and all that.
16:51
Speaker 3: You know, he's a fantastic ball player. And I say
16:53
Speaker 3: that in an overall really endearing way because he gets
16:58
Speaker 3: the game and the game comes easy to him, and
17:00
Speaker 3: he can make things happen when he's playing, and you
17:01
Speaker 3: miss him when he's not out there. That's a you know,
17:04
Speaker 3: it's a it's an obvious, obvious trait that he brings
17:07
Speaker 3: you you missed the playmaking, you know, right off the
17:09
Speaker 3: bat he got hurt knocking the ball down, you know,
17:10
Speaker 3: and and what else would he have done in that game,
17:13
Speaker 3: you know, had he had some chances. So so he's
17:15
Speaker 3: had a fantastic start. I would expect that he's gonna
17:18
Speaker 3: make it back this week and and he'll be out
17:20
Speaker 3: there battling again.
17:23
Speaker 1: Thank you, John Boyle.
17:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pete Leonard Williams, I think was his third sack
17:30
Speaker 6: in five games. Just how are you seeing him progress
17:33
Speaker 6: as he gets Yeah?
17:33
Speaker 3: I thought he had his best game, you know, and
17:35
Speaker 3: he didn't have a great week of practice. We had
17:37
Speaker 3: to hold him back a little bit because his ankle
17:38
Speaker 3: was still bothering him. But he played the line of
17:41
Speaker 3: scrimmage really well. I think he had UH forced the
17:44
Speaker 3: quarterback maybe three four times in the game. I had
17:46
Speaker 3: a sack, and if you looked closely at the sack,
17:50
Speaker 3: he was working so intricately with UH with Jay Reid
17:55
Speaker 3: to free him up on the sack, which often does
17:58
Speaker 3: help you get to the quarterback. It was in perfect fashion.
18:01
Speaker 3: He's not going to Aligneman off so that jay Ree
18:04
Speaker 3: can get around it. He winds up getting free on
18:06
Speaker 3: the response. It's really it's really been a joy having him.
18:11
Speaker 3: He's a great kid. He brings a lot of juice,
18:13
Speaker 3: he wants to play every play killed him when you know,
18:16
Speaker 3: when he had to sit out of practice. You know,
18:18
Speaker 3: he's just got all of the good positive stuff that
18:20
Speaker 3: that you hope a guy could have. And I think
18:22
Speaker 3: he's you can see him settling in and he's becoming
18:24
Speaker 3: a real factor. Bob.
18:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was just curious after reviewing it if you
18:33
Speaker 9: had any different view at all of sort of the
18:34
Speaker 9: fight that happened at the end and DK's involvement in it,
18:37
Speaker 9: and obviously that it's just DK with some of his history.
18:40
Speaker 9: I guess people are sort of just like this as
18:41
Speaker 9: another Some people anyway just kind of a you know
18:44
Speaker 9: DK again or whatever. But did you have do you
18:46
Speaker 9: have any different kind of.
18:47
Speaker 3: View on that at all?
18:48
Speaker 10: Well?
18:48
Speaker 3: I think it might have been stated in the broadcast,
18:51
Speaker 3: but we all know that it's not the first guy
18:53
Speaker 3: that he gets found out. You know, it's usually the
18:55
Speaker 3: second guy, and sometimes it's the third guy. In this case,
18:58
Speaker 3: it was the second and the third guy, you know,
19:00
Speaker 3: and tempers were going and the juice was flying, and
19:06
Speaker 3: you know, stuff happens, you know, like to be careful,
19:08
Speaker 3: make sure we don't hurt anybody in those situations, and
19:10
Speaker 3: we make good choices and good decisions. We'll see what
19:14
Speaker 3: the league thinks about it, Curtis.
19:20
Speaker 10: Yeah, Pete, you said on the radio this morning that
19:22
Speaker 10: a decade ago, with defense, you guys didn't have to
19:25
Speaker 10: do as much you had to, you know, less that
19:27
Speaker 10: you had to go to so much cover one, cover
19:28
Speaker 10: three with how you guys played back in those days.
19:31
Speaker 10: What about the way the league has changed over the
19:34
Speaker 10: last ten years has forced you to be more multiple,
19:37
Speaker 10: more diverse on what you have to do on defense
19:39
Speaker 10: to try to counter what teams are doing nowadays.
19:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, the offensive scheme has just continued to just explode,
19:47
Speaker 3: and I think so much influence in the college game
19:51
Speaker 3: as well as the NFL game has just generated just
19:56
Speaker 3: changes and adaptations that were necessary. The motion, the shifts,
20:00
Speaker 3: the reliance on the throwing game, the willingness to being
20:03
Speaker 3: empties and spread the field, and all of that kind
20:04
Speaker 3: of stuff has just grown. You know, it was always
20:07
Speaker 3: there and in existence. You know, running and shoot was
20:09
Speaker 3: a four wides offense back in the day. That was
20:13
Speaker 3: kind of the forerunner to a lot of stuff that
20:14
Speaker 3: goes on now, but it's just it's just caused us
20:18
Speaker 3: to continue to have to expand the spacing on the field,
20:22
Speaker 3: and the use of the spacing is just really the
20:25
Speaker 3: offense is in exquisite fashion at times, you know, position
20:28
Speaker 3: their guys and move their guys around so that you
20:30
Speaker 3: have to really be on your stuff. So it's just
20:33
Speaker 3: it's just made us adapt some and everybody's had to
20:35
Speaker 3: do it. We're not alone in that one. We've just
20:37
Speaker 3: grown from where we were and you know, continue to
20:41
Speaker 3: compete to figure it out. Really to slow these guys down.
20:43
Speaker 3: And the running quarterbacks has been a huge factor in
20:46
Speaker 3: the growth of the game and the use of them
20:49
Speaker 3: and in schemes and the outnumber of the defenses and
20:52
Speaker 3: all those things are all part of what we deal
20:54
Speaker 3: with on defense, and you know, it's that's just what
20:57
Speaker 3: the game has has become.
21:00
Speaker 10: Maddie F.
21:01
Speaker 2: Brown, how did you feel Jordan Brook's play dealing with
21:05
Speaker 2: his ankle injury.
21:06
Speaker 3: I was really happy that he could he could hang.
21:08
Speaker 3: You know, he up until the day before the game,
21:11
Speaker 3: we weren't sure, you know, and he ran well in pregame.
21:14
Speaker 3: He pulled it off and during the game. I remember
21:17
Speaker 3: I went up to him and said something to him
21:18
Speaker 3: about how far it up. I was that he was
21:20
Speaker 3: able to find his way back on the field, you know,
21:22
Speaker 3: because he had a significant ankle sprain, but he made
21:27
Speaker 3: it through it. He'll be at his quickest when he
21:32
Speaker 3: gets over this. I mean that's going to hold him
21:33
Speaker 3: back a little bit, and it did a little bit.
21:35
Speaker 3: But the way he hung in there and played and
21:38
Speaker 3: was tough and all that was really admirable.
21:42
Speaker 1: Last question, Brady, just to clarify and something you said
21:46
Speaker 1: on lock earlier. He said on one of the deep balls,
21:49
Speaker 1: he did you say that he just missed the throw,
21:52
Speaker 1: that it was off target or that, yeah.
21:54
Speaker 3: He didn't. For the moment, he needed to throw the
21:55
Speaker 3: ball as far as he could and stretch dk out
21:58
Speaker 3: way downfield, and it just he tried to something in
22:00
Speaker 3: there just wasn't quite the right throw. You could even
22:02
Speaker 3: see him gesturing he needed to throw the ball outside
22:04
Speaker 3: farther and keep him moving. He just he just missed it.
22:07
Speaker 3: That's all. Thank you, Okay, thank you.
22:10
Speaker 1: Everybody see it
