Pete Carroll: "It's Going To Be A Terrific Matchup For Us" · Seahawks Press Pass

0:02
Speaker 1: Okay, coming back home feels good. Uh like getting back
0:07
Speaker 1: in the stadium and getting our guys back on track.
0:11
Speaker 1: We've watched the Commanders here UH during this early part
0:15
Speaker 1: of the season, have a really close opportunity for them
0:19
Speaker 1: to be on the other end of this thing with the.
0:21
Speaker 2: Games they play against Phildelphia.
0:23
Speaker 1: They play two great games against Philadelphia and scored a
0:26
Speaker 1: ton of points and had a chance to win both
0:28
Speaker 1: those games, and that would it would have made a
0:32
Speaker 1: little difference in the in the NFL world. So we
0:35
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for them. We're seeing a quarterback,
0:37
Speaker 1: the young guy, Sam Howe is a young guy, but
0:40
Speaker 1: he's tough.
0:41
Speaker 2: Uh.
0:41
Speaker 1: They're they're leaning on him, they're giving him an opportunity
0:44
Speaker 1: to control the game. And it's it's impressive that the
0:49
Speaker 1: job that he's been doing. And you can tell that
0:51
Speaker 1: Eric is uh really believes in him by the way
0:53
Speaker 1: he's calling it. And so we feel that confidence that
0:56
Speaker 1: he's he's exuding and UH and realized we we got
0:59
Speaker 1: to do a job against this offense on the other
1:02
Speaker 1: side of the ball. They've been they've been tough, they're
1:05
Speaker 1: really good up inside, and we got our handsful there.
1:08
Speaker 1: So it's going to be a terrific matchup for us,
1:10
Speaker 1: and we got to get to get our act together.
1:12
Speaker 2: So we're on what kind of quarterback is how what
1:14
Speaker 2: does he do well?
1:15
Speaker 1: He's he moves a lot, you know, they move him
1:19
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and so he can do all
1:22
Speaker 1: of that stuff. He's not a runner, but he scrambles.
1:25
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and fifty something yards and averaging something.
1:27
Speaker 1: He's got a five yard average before he runs. But
1:30
Speaker 1: that's not the future part of it. He's he is
1:32
Speaker 1: in the mode, the mold of what Kansas City looks like.
1:36
Speaker 1: You know, they're using their quarterback in the same way
1:37
Speaker 1: where we're from. Everybody's familiar with seeing that, and they're
1:40
Speaker 1: counting on Sam to do his stuff, and so it's
1:43
Speaker 1: dropped back guy, good rhythm, he's strong and physical and
1:47
Speaker 1: he can throw the ball over the field. So the
1:50
Speaker 1: main thing you can see with a young guy the
1:52
Speaker 1: confidence that they have in them, how they're they're calling
1:54
Speaker 1: and stuff.
1:54
Speaker 3: It's impressive the playmakers that he's throwing to. I mean
1:57
Speaker 3: that that's one of the reasons why he's got the
1:59
Speaker 3: most yards off I think is.
2:01
Speaker 2: For their quarterback.
2:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he he's got a great group. Terry McLaurin
2:05
Speaker 1: is is terrific. Uh Logan is a is a premier
2:08
Speaker 1: looking tight end. He's gone to those guys and they
2:10
Speaker 1: have a lot of speed with the with the other
2:12
Speaker 1: guys that they go to. Uh both running backs that
2:14
Speaker 1: that they they feature uh Robinson and gives them both
2:18
Speaker 1: really well equipped. They run hard, run thck. So they've
2:21
Speaker 1: got a good compliment to what they're doing there. So
2:24
Speaker 1: but they are they're they're really going for in the
2:26
Speaker 1: thrown game. They throw the ball a hundred times more
2:27
Speaker 1: than we have already, you know, So they're they're really
2:29
Speaker 1: trying Wednesday.
2:31
Speaker 4: But so far have you seen in your team just
2:33
Speaker 4: kind of bounce.
2:34
Speaker 1: Back from IU I, They're they're gonna bounce back. Fun
2:37
Speaker 1: there were we've uh dealt with all that and and
2:40
Speaker 1: uh just looking at what it was like out there
2:42
Speaker 1: walk through today.
2:42
Speaker 2: These guys are ready to go.
2:44
Speaker 5: When you have had games like that in your career,
2:46
Speaker 5: what's what is the biggest point you kind of look
2:49
Speaker 5: at for teams that do successfully have a bounce back
2:53
Speaker 5: from from a game like that.
2:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really it's the leadership's attitude, you know,
2:58
Speaker 1: the guys that that you really can't understand the message.
3:00
Speaker 1: The younger guys are watching those guys and how do
3:02
Speaker 1: they respond and how hard.
3:03
Speaker 2: Do they push? And are they focused?
3:05
Speaker 1: And can they turn the page the younger guys are
3:07
Speaker 1: You know, we have a very young team and we
3:10
Speaker 1: count a lot.
3:10
Speaker 2: On our leadership to send the right message.
3:12
Speaker 1: And with Gino and Bobby and those guys that digsy
3:15
Speaker 1: and those guys that do that for us, it's incumbent
3:20
Speaker 1: upon them to really live it right. So they've they've
3:23
Speaker 1: come out of the shoots looking good. Meetings were good today,
3:26
Speaker 1: Everything about it was uplifting. So there's so much football
3:29
Speaker 1: ahead of us. This is officially marking the halfway point,
3:32
Speaker 1: right once we get past this game somewhere in the
3:33
Speaker 1: middle of the week here, it's really the halfway point,
3:35
Speaker 1: but we're officially turning the corner here, you know, game
3:38
Speaker 1: game nine for.
3:39
Speaker 2: Us and week ten.
3:41
Speaker 1: So this is a huge opportunity for us to recapture
3:44
Speaker 1: the mentality to make sure that we're on and we
3:46
Speaker 1: play a great game at home.
3:48
Speaker 5: When you look at your defense as a whole, kind
3:49
Speaker 5: of as you mentioned, kind of a halfway point, when
3:52
Speaker 5: you know, kind of from weeks one to week Where
3:55
Speaker 5: do you feel like you guys are right now?
3:57
Speaker 1: We we didn't play very well in this last game,
4:00
Speaker 1: but we've been playing really well until that, and so
4:03
Speaker 1: we got to get back on track. And you know,
4:05
Speaker 1: I'll let you know after this game this weekend. I'm
4:07
Speaker 1: not going to judge anything on what just happened. We're
4:10
Speaker 1: gonna put that behind us and go.
4:12
Speaker 2: Just like always.
4:12
Speaker 1: You know, it's you can have a really good game,
4:14
Speaker 1: you can have a really bad game, and it's how
4:15
Speaker 1: you get back on track is what's important. And we've
4:18
Speaker 1: been working the discipline of that for a long time.
4:20
Speaker 1: We'll see how we handle it.
4:21
Speaker 6: Now that he's been in two different spots, what are
4:23
Speaker 6: some of the characteristics of Eric bienemy offense?
4:28
Speaker 2: What's about the two different spots.
4:29
Speaker 6: Well, he's been a coordinator in Kansas City coordinator.
4:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of similarities.
4:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's they're leaning on a lot of the same
4:36
Speaker 1: principles and the wide open attack, spreading the field really
4:40
Speaker 1: well using their formations they've got, you know, with having logan,
4:45
Speaker 1: they've got a tight end that they can feature and
4:47
Speaker 1: he's involved with a lot of cool stuff that they do.
4:50
Speaker 1: So it's there's a lot of similarities, and he's calling
4:53
Speaker 1: it wide open. You know, he's going for it.
4:56
Speaker 4: Nineteen when you win the turnover battle three and oh
4:58
Speaker 4: this season you have a full date voter to turnover Thursday.
5:02
Speaker 7: It's all about the ball.
5:03
Speaker 5: How do you emphasize that any more than you already
5:05
Speaker 5: have given some of the mistakes that have come out.
5:08
Speaker 1: That's a really good question because I'm always taxed with that.
5:10
Speaker 1: How can we emphasize it better? You know, And you
5:14
Speaker 1: know I'm doing this for twenty something years of emphasizing
5:16
Speaker 1: turnover Thursday, you know, and making sure that we're on it,
5:20
Speaker 1: which probably the.
5:22
Speaker 2: Most you know, the most important part.
5:25
Speaker 1: That's taking care of the ball, you know, and not
5:27
Speaker 1: giving it away to control those those you know that emphasis.
5:31
Speaker 1: But you know I'm looking, you know, I'm always looking
5:35
Speaker 1: and trying to draw different aspects of it and examples
5:38
Speaker 1: and our presentations that we give, and the focus that
5:41
Speaker 1: we bring to it, the competition that we have in it.
5:43
Speaker 2: You know.
5:43
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all the way up to the end
5:44
Speaker 1: of Thursday to the last play, you know, we're battling
5:47
Speaker 1: to you wins the day in terms of the ball.
5:49
Speaker 1: So but I'm always searching, so and that that search
5:52
Speaker 1: woe end.
5:53
Speaker 6: That you guys have had offense. How much of those
5:55
Speaker 6: are like bad decisions by Geno versus other factors around him?
6:00
Speaker 2: There's been factors.
6:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been factors, and you know me, I'm not
6:04
Speaker 1: going to trying to nail anybody on stuff that There's
6:06
Speaker 1: been factors that contribute and some it just depends, you know,
6:10
Speaker 1: on the situations. You know, we we miss misread something
6:14
Speaker 1: and didn't didn't really see it clearly because we got
6:17
Speaker 1: fooled by the by the disguise and uh, and then
6:20
Speaker 1: we didn't respond well when we communicate it. So we
6:22
Speaker 1: just we have a lousy play that turned into a
6:25
Speaker 1: turnover for them. Kind of a number of things had
6:28
Speaker 1: to contribute to that make that happen. But that's just
6:31
Speaker 1: how it is, you know, and and we just have
6:34
Speaker 1: to keep track of it. And it's there are other
6:36
Speaker 1: circumstances that weigh into these things. It's not just one guy.
6:39
Speaker 1: How is DJ Dallas, Well, yeah, he was supposedly hurt,
6:44
Speaker 1: but he was bouncing around out there today and and uh,
6:47
Speaker 1: his attitude is so so committed to not missing anything.
6:53
Speaker 1: I don't know, he was out there catching punts and
6:54
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and running around and he's
6:56
Speaker 1: going to try.
6:57
Speaker 2: To get back.
6:57
Speaker 1: So pretty impressive kid. And he's like exactly what you're
7:02
Speaker 1: looking for. And guys to overcome the you know, the
7:04
Speaker 1: mishaps and the difficulties and the and would would hold
7:07
Speaker 1: other guys back sometimes, you know, he's he's he's won't
7:09
Speaker 1: try to fight through it.
7:11
Speaker 8: We heard a lot at the beginning of the year
7:12
Speaker 8: about how impressive it was that Jordan Brooks had come
7:15
Speaker 8: back so quickly from surgery. But I guess halfway through
7:18
Speaker 8: the season, what have you thought about his play and
7:21
Speaker 8: what kind of influences.
7:22
Speaker 2: He and Bobby you have just on the young guys.
7:24
Speaker 1: In his defense, Jordan has played the best football he's
7:27
Speaker 1: played for US. And he's always been, uh a highlight player.
7:30
Speaker 1: You know, he's always got the big plays and the
7:31
Speaker 1: running and the hit and he can do everything. You know,
7:33
Speaker 1: he's he he's got all of the skills and the
7:35
Speaker 1: packages do everything. But he's been his best and he's
7:38
Speaker 1: been most consistent on point understands the scheme. Communications are
7:43
Speaker 1: the best that's been you know, between he and Bobby
7:45
Speaker 1: in particular, and working with Digsy and and uh Jamal
7:48
Speaker 1: and and Julian on the back end, so that everything
7:51
Speaker 1: fits really well.
7:52
Speaker 2: But it's been it's been very impressive so far.
7:55
Speaker 1: And and uh, we're we're highlighting him as we can,
7:58
Speaker 1: you know, with the different things that he's cape doing,
8:00
Speaker 1: and so he's been really cool watching him play.
8:03
Speaker 8: Is there a common denominator of making a quarterback uncomfortable?
8:08
Speaker 8: Making quarterback uncomfortable?
8:10
Speaker 6: Does it matter when it's a young guy or an
8:12
Speaker 6: old guy?
8:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah it does. You know.
8:16
Speaker 1: The older guys have seen more, you know, and so
8:18
Speaker 1: that they they just have more in their background and
8:21
Speaker 1: more you know, in the reserve tank. If they've seen this,
8:25
Speaker 1: they've seen that, they can tell, they can feel it differently,
8:27
Speaker 1: you know, so they have a real advantage over the
8:29
Speaker 1: younger guys. But you know, guys are schooled so well nowadays,
8:35
Speaker 1: and they're brought up throwing the ball so much as
8:37
Speaker 1: they've been grown up that they're way ahead of where
8:40
Speaker 1: it used to be, you know.
8:40
Speaker 2: And these guys.
8:41
Speaker 1: Are able to and capable of handling, you know, tough situations,
8:45
Speaker 1: tough disguises and then tough zero pressures and disguised pressures
8:49
Speaker 1: and all of that to a point where they they
8:51
Speaker 1: can make it, you know, And Sam's a good example
8:54
Speaker 1: of that. He's doing really well. They're not holding back,
8:57
Speaker 1: they're not trying to, you know, make it easy on them.
8:59
Speaker 1: They're running their offense the way they want to run
9:02
Speaker 1: it and going for it the way they want to
9:03
Speaker 1: go for it, and he's handling it really well. It's
9:05
Speaker 1: it's really impressive. He's doing a very good job. So
9:08
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's, Yeah, it's easier to fool
9:11
Speaker 1: a young guy than it is to full and older.
9:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. For sure, pressure than the key and both of that.
9:15
Speaker 1: Getting pressure to me, it's always the key, yeah, And
9:18
Speaker 1: it's always the key.
9:19
Speaker 2: Making it hard on the quarterback.
9:21
Speaker 1: And whether it's format or not, you know, if you're
9:23
Speaker 1: pressure with guys off the edge of little backers or however,
9:26
Speaker 1: it's always the key to make them have to quicken,
9:29
Speaker 1: make them a bit uncomfortable, make it a little blurrier,
9:32
Speaker 1: you know, and so that they don't have just the
9:34
Speaker 1: normal rhythm that they're so good at. These guys can
9:36
Speaker 1: now they's going to throw the ball over the field
9:38
Speaker 1: if you don't get after it and you don't make
9:39
Speaker 1: it hard on them, and you can make it hard
9:41
Speaker 1: by disguising, by coverage, by pressure, in the.
9:43
Speaker 2: Combination of all of that stuff. So you know, it
9:46
Speaker 2: ain't easy. It's hard in the run game.
9:49
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of factors that have I think
9:51
Speaker 3: kept those numbers down. It's not for lack of effort
9:54
Speaker 3: from the running backs. But do they need extra encouragement?
9:56
Speaker 3: Is there a conversation Is it more about getting them
9:58
Speaker 3: involved in maybe the a game to keep them in
10:01
Speaker 3: the game in a different way.
10:02
Speaker 1: I think it's an ongoing It's an ongoing, uh, you know,
10:07
Speaker 1: conversation to make sure that they're they're the best of
10:09
Speaker 1: what's happening, so that they're clear and you know how
10:11
Speaker 1: things went, whether we had to go to them a
10:12
Speaker 1: lot or whether we couldn't. Sometimes it's the rotations, you
10:16
Speaker 1: know that the just the way players come off the
10:18
Speaker 1: you know, the callers card. You know, sometimes they get
10:21
Speaker 1: their chances more so than others. But so it's an
10:23
Speaker 1: ongoing conversation. I like our guys to be hungry for it.
10:26
Speaker 1: I like our guys to be frustrated by the by
10:29
Speaker 1: the fact they want more opportunities, and I have no
10:31
Speaker 1: problem with that, but they have to manage it. And
10:34
Speaker 1: so we have to be in communication and do a
10:35
Speaker 1: nice job and so it doesn't hurt us aget in
10:37
Speaker 1: our way, because it can definitely become a distraction, you
10:40
Speaker 1: know if you don't deal with it right.
10:41
Speaker 5: Lucas and the walk for two.
10:43
Speaker 2: No, what's fure We think next week is it should
10:47
Speaker 2: start up on Mondays. What we're trying, that's what we
10:48
Speaker 2: should for what's share greed bright guys, A Special Teams
10:51
Speaker 2: is here.
10:52
Speaker 5: What's the what's he bringing in Special Teams?
10:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been a big factor. He's up in the
10:56
Speaker 1: you know, we keep score of those guys throughout the year. Uh,
10:59
Speaker 1: he's he's peden to be right on top of the
11:01
Speaker 1: list of stuff and Theloria doesn't like it, which is good.
11:05
Speaker 1: He's been really committed and he runs really well, and
11:10
Speaker 1: he's really and he's tough and he goes for it.
11:12
Speaker 2: So he's been a factor.
11:13
Speaker 1: You know that there's a certain nature about the Special
11:15
Speaker 1: Teams guys that separates them. He's he looks at an
11:20
Speaker 1: early you know, observation of him and that he's a
11:23
Speaker 1: real factor in what we're doing. And so at the
11:26
Speaker 1: halfway point, you know, we want to really push it
11:28
Speaker 1: and even ask more of him because he shows that
11:30
Speaker 1: he's got an instinct for it and and and a
11:32
Speaker 1: really good motor for it. So he's doing really.
11:34
Speaker 2: Nice jobs that requell In season so.
11:37
Speaker 1: Far he's had he's had a solid start to it
11:41
Speaker 1: under the most you know, difficult circumstances because of the
11:45
Speaker 1: injury that happened at the time that it did. But
11:49
Speaker 1: he's he's back to running really well and he's moving well.
11:52
Speaker 1: He's had some place get away from him that you know,
11:54
Speaker 1: frustrating to see made not the right decisions on some
11:58
Speaker 1: of the tackles that he's had opportunities to go for
12:00
Speaker 1: and try to knock the ball out last week and
12:01
Speaker 1: it wasn't the right It wasn't the right time, you know,
12:04
Speaker 1: for for that. So but I think without question his
12:10
Speaker 1: best is still here for him in this season and
12:13
Speaker 1: uh getting him comfortable and getting him back on track
12:16
Speaker 1: with it, so there's no none of those decision show
12:18
Speaker 1: up in the game, you know, where there's you know,
12:19
Speaker 1: he misses an opportunity to close something off or to
12:21
Speaker 1: make a play on something. So I'm working with him
12:25
Speaker 1: very closely to make sure that we keep working to
12:27
Speaker 1: maximize him. He's got a lot, a lot out there
12:29
Speaker 1: ahead of.
12:29
Speaker 4: Him still, given how young he still is at cornerback
12:32
Speaker 4: and he's only played it for a couple of seasons
12:34
Speaker 4: in college, did that miss time maybe hurt him more
12:36
Speaker 4: than it would.
12:38
Speaker 2: No question, No question it did.
12:40
Speaker 1: And because he had the expectations that came off of
12:44
Speaker 1: last year and he was ready for, you know, take
12:46
Speaker 1: on the world and then he just gets, you know,
12:49
Speaker 1: abruptly stopped and he's out for a while and gets
12:50
Speaker 1: operated on you and all that that that he needed
12:53
Speaker 1: that time to find his second year mentality, legs and
12:57
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and he wasn't able to
12:59
Speaker 1: you know, and afford to that. So we're still in
13:03
Speaker 1: that in the mode Ken, we're kind of getting back
13:05
Speaker 1: on track to be really sharp and really right on
13:08
Speaker 1: all of his decisions that he's making and the choices
13:10
Speaker 1: that he makes. And so there's really good play ahead
13:13
Speaker 1: of him, I think, even better than what we've seen.
13:15
Speaker 5: How did Phil Haynes make it through the game with
13:17
Speaker 5: the cap injury.
13:18
Speaker 2: And the different how did you.
13:19
Speaker 5: Did you think of it?
13:20
Speaker 2: He play a good, solid game, he was he was fine.
13:22
Speaker 1: He made it through its first time in three weeks
13:25
Speaker 1: or something like that he's felt okay, So he comes
13:27
Speaker 1: back in this week and he's going ahead.
13:30
Speaker 2: Now we're leaving it behind. So it's good good sign
13:33
Speaker 2: with Gino.
13:34
Speaker 4: His splits, like with play action versus non play action
13:36
Speaker 4: the season have been pretty stark. What do you make
13:38
Speaker 4: How much more productive he's been with play action as
13:40
Speaker 4: opposed to pure drownback situations.
13:43
Speaker 1: I really like it, you know, we'd like to like
13:45
Speaker 1: to make sure that we make it hard on our
13:47
Speaker 1: opponents by continuing to do it. You know's we've been
13:50
Speaker 1: really good at it. Numbers were terrific, and so it's
13:53
Speaker 1: just it's a real positive side of the offense right now.
13:56
Speaker 4: There's obviously a reason why, you know, just do it
13:58
Speaker 4: every time. What do you like sacrificing when you have
14:01
Speaker 4: to play fake?
14:03
Speaker 1: Just the variety of protections that you use and the
14:05
Speaker 1: different actions you know aren't always is predictable for picking
14:08
Speaker 1: stuff up, you know, And and so you have to
14:10
Speaker 1: pick and choose your times.
14:11
Speaker 2: And we need to keep them in a run.
14:14
Speaker 1: Pass mode, you know, whether it's they're being threatened by
14:17
Speaker 1: the play action game or the running game, and that
14:19
Speaker 1: fits together and fits off each other.
14:20
Speaker 2: So we have to keep that alive as much as anything.
14:23
Speaker 5: How is Jarrek call? Uh?
14:25
Speaker 1: He seems to be okay. Our guys really seem to
14:27
Speaker 1: be bouncing back. And that's which is the question was
14:30
Speaker 1: asked earlier in How We do It? Most everybody was
14:33
Speaker 1: working in the walkthrough and there's a couple of guys
14:36
Speaker 1: that have a chance to maybe we hold them back today.
14:39
Speaker 1: They don't want to do that, you know, they want
14:40
Speaker 1: to go. So there's a really good sense that he's
14:43
Speaker 1: one of those guys. I think we'll see I see
14:45
Speaker 1: what happens during the day. Yeah, he's feeling way better. Yeah,
14:50
Speaker 1: and he had a little treatment that was done that
14:53
Speaker 1: he thinks.
14:53
Speaker 2: Was really positive. So he's he's got a good hopeful
14:55
Speaker 2: thought for this week.
14:57
Speaker 6: Are expecting Kenny mcautash to play on Sunday?
15:01
Speaker 2: Possibly that possibly could happen.
15:02
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of reps because of dj being
15:05
Speaker 1: you know a little in question.
15:06
Speaker 2: I figure out what he is. Can you get a
15:08
Speaker 2: lot of work in the walkthrough today?
15:10
Speaker 1: So he'll get rebbed up and we'll have him ready
15:12
Speaker 1: to play.
15:14
Speaker 4: And yes, you guys started the clock on Derek. What
15:17
Speaker 4: do you think he could add once he gets back?
15:20
Speaker 1: Well, first off, he's because it's taken will for us
15:22
Speaker 1: to get to that point where we start him up.
15:24
Speaker 1: He's in great shape and he's really ready to go.
15:26
Speaker 1: He could play this week, So that's that's an interesting
15:29
Speaker 1: addition because he he was a real positive factor in
15:31
Speaker 1: special teams in particular last year and then the.
15:34
Speaker 2: Way we played him.
15:35
Speaker 1: So uh, he's he's coming out the first week competing
15:38
Speaker 1: to see if he can find you know, find his
15:39
Speaker 1: way to the roster and in playtime.
15:41
Speaker 2: So that's a really positive would you positive something? Would you?
15:47
Speaker 7: Would you be a favor of the NFL reviewing every call,
15:50
Speaker 7: every timing decision minutes.
15:53
Speaker 1: Of the game, in the last in the last two
15:55
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, as long as we're subject to
15:59
Speaker 1: the replay mode, you know, I think they should get
16:02
Speaker 1: things right.
16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:03
Speaker 1: Now, I would have told you for years and years
16:06
Speaker 1: and years, I would rather put it on the officials
16:08
Speaker 1: to call the game.
16:09
Speaker 2: Let's keep the game going. I like it better when
16:11
Speaker 2: it was like that.
16:12
Speaker 1: But now that I've I've grown up, you know, and
16:15
Speaker 1: not been kicking and screaming about.
16:17
Speaker 2: It, I think we should use it.
16:19
Speaker 1: And I think they're you know, they're trying to help
16:22
Speaker 1: as much as they can, more than ever, and I
16:25
Speaker 1: think they just keep expanding their their effect because if
16:28
Speaker 1: we need to get it right, you know, we need
16:29
Speaker 1: to do things right and not have to live with
16:32
Speaker 1: issues and stuff that we could have after the game.
16:33
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you're grabbing a moan and all that.
16:37
Speaker 1: So if they think that they could do it, if
16:39
Speaker 1: they could handle it, you know, and have enough crew
16:41
Speaker 1: to handle all the games and really and see it,
16:44
Speaker 1: I mean that that's I think that's a big statement
16:46
Speaker 1: for them to be able to do every every play.
16:48
Speaker 1: But I think it'd be h I think we'd all
16:52
Speaker 1: it'd be the best interest of getting things right, and
16:54
Speaker 1: that's really what we'd like to do.
16:55
Speaker 7: So you'd want to expand technology for line the game,
16:59
Speaker 7: for everything you could possibly do it.
17:00
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I'd go with that. And now that we're
17:03
Speaker 1: that far into it, and let's.
17:04
Speaker 6: Go, why do you think you guys haven't found the consistency?
17:08
Speaker 6: Maybe you would look it for in your run game?
17:10
Speaker 2: What about it?
17:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, like, why do you think it has been as consistent?
17:14
Speaker 2: Yeah? If I knew that we would, we'd be consistent. Yeah. Yeah,
17:18
Speaker 2: we're still we're still seeking it.
17:19
Speaker 1: We're it's halfway, you know, and we have a lot
17:23
Speaker 1: of time to get better, and I'm still counting on that.
17:25
Speaker 1: I mean holding up an optimistic thought. It's important for
17:29
Speaker 1: us because we have the guys to get it done
17:31
Speaker 1: and then we just we need to pull it off
17:33
Speaker 1: and make it happen, come to life, and it'll affect
17:36
Speaker 1: our entire football team if we do. That is just
17:39
Speaker 1: getting more, getting more converting on third down is really
17:44
Speaker 1: what we need to do better, and that that will
17:45
Speaker 1: give us the opportunity to make the calls. We have
17:47
Speaker 1: the right rhythms of how much we're running it is, that's
17:50
Speaker 1: not the question. We need more first downs and and
17:52
Speaker 1: that means converting is really the big factor. Unfortunately, it's
17:56
Speaker 1: kind of the same story that it's always been good.
