• 1:00
  Speaker 3: his defense, the scheme, it demands a lot, a lot
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: of communication, a lot of thinking between the plays, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: obviously being in it for year two, it just made
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: it easier for us to do those things and to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: play fast.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Thing.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Just for you guys last season kind of midway through,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is the run defense got a lot better? What what's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the key for you to start off the season playing
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the run well and get the defense gone.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I think everybody you know, just playing physical and stout
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: up front. That starts with us, Well, we.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Gotta ring that bell, we gotta answer the call, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: then we gotta just stop the run.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Just playing as simple.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: There's nothing, there's nothing to it, there's no x nos,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: there's nothing we need to do different but play physical football.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I think played for a few of them now in
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: your career.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: What are the characteristics of a good head.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Coach, I'll say Mike has all those things. Coach Mike
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: is a just a great head coach. He's came in
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: and he's he's put his standard on us what he
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: expects from us every day.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We bought into that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Bringing back the physicality, you know, the old school type
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: of football is what we needed. And I think you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the way that he is as a coach is great
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: for us as players and for the team.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Rising physicality back. How can you see that?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Just playing physical from the front, from the old line
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: to D line, to receivers, blocking to safeties, feeling safeties,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: tackling cornerbacks, tackling everybody, just playing you know, Seahawks football
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: like real man football.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I know you're tired of going against your offense and practice,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: but how much does it help knowing that you'll see
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: something similar?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I mean it helps, but at the end of the day,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: we got go play the forty niners. Right, They're not
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks, so they have their own scheme, even though
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it may image each other, they may do things differently.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: So we got locking on our film and execute our plays.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Jared, what do you think is gonna separate this year's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: defense from last year?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's what do you what stands out to you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Is feeding something you guys are gonna take a stride in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I think this all of us being on one accord.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Towards the end of the season, I think we started
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: doing that more and I think that we're gonna start
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the season that way this year.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: John Schneider talked last week about him from last year
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to this year. One thinks he's most excited about it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is the offensive line and something that goes against those
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: guys all the time where you see that unit.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Crow absolutely, Uh, definitely for me. Being a run game,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it's a good scheme and great scheme. They come off
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the ball, they're really physical. I think that's testment to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the old offensive line coaches. With Til, he's doing the
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: good job of coaching those guys up and now. Like
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: like I said in preseason, I was excited to see
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: them play. Now I'm even more excited to see them
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in game one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: In the in the context of football, and you hear
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the word culture, what does that mean?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Coach to me means like something that you're building around
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: the building, that everybody believes in and something that everybody
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: takes pride in. So you know, the coaches that we
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: build a right now, I think that's self explainatorys to
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: what we're doing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: How would you explain with the coature is now with
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Mike brotherhood? Uh? Would y'all say? Everybody's like loving on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: one another.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: This is probably the most time in the locker room
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: that I've seen you know, offensive line interacting with defensive backs.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You know, defensive line, I interacting receivers, quarterbacks. Now everybody
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: talks to everybody on this team. And it's been a
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: minute since, you know, you really since I've really seen
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that in the locker room. Not to say that it
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: hasn't happened, but as much as it's happening now, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And I think that's it. Everybody's really building a bomb with.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Each other, with each other. Excuse me, what do you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: think it changed? Uh?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Stuff that we started doing, like during ociations and stuff
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: like walking talks, like we'll get in just anonymous groups
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: and you know, you just get to know people. You
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: talk about the way you see things, and you get
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: other people's point of views and stuff, and then it
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: just carries on.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And believe it or not, the whole shadow.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Box and Ordeas came up and became like a thing
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: in the locker room. So it's like literally everybody's doing it. Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know some you know, young guys making all
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: the stuff, all the games and stuff.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I'll be playing it til I ain't gonna lie, I like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: but I I'll have to show you. But people get
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: it right, they know they hear it as they'll see it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: They know what I'm talking about.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Are there any teammates that the other side of the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: balls you connected with or learned something about that maybe
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't otherwise.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Have believe it or not.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Like our s I don't wanna say this, but Mike,

  Speaker 3: I knew he was a competitor, but I didn't know

  Speaker 3: sometimes you can't take those things for granted, cause like

  Speaker 3: he's our punter, right, but he's one of our most
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: important part of one of our most important players on

  Speaker 3: the team. And so like just how much pride he
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: takes and doing his job, it made me, you know,
