Mike Macdonald: "We Have An Opportunity To Be A Great Team" · Seahawks Press Pass

0:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, a great opportunity this week. Guys are in great spirits.
0:05
Speaker 1: Felt like we had a great couple of days. Take
0:08
Speaker 1: a step back with the players getting out of here
0:10
Speaker 1: and us to really take a look at the things
0:12
Speaker 1: that we've done well, things we've got to improve on.
0:15
Speaker 2: Kind of a full full, uh full.
0:18
Speaker 1: Just digest of where we're at as a football team,
0:21
Speaker 1: and we're able to identify, you know, as many things
0:24
Speaker 1: as we can on each side of the ball without
0:26
Speaker 1: going crazy. There's only so many things you can get
0:27
Speaker 1: done a week, but just take it one step at
0:29
Speaker 1: a time. But looking forward to a great practice today
0:32
Speaker 1: we're in pads and.
0:33
Speaker 2: A great week of prep.
0:35
Speaker 3: So what'd you find.
0:38
Speaker 1: There's I mean, it's a lot of confirmation of things
0:41
Speaker 1: that you felt like we needed to work on. You know,
0:43
Speaker 1: it is nice to hear about some of the things
0:44
Speaker 1: that we're doing well both sides of the ball, situationally
0:48
Speaker 1: special teams, without getting into like the specifics of you know,
0:53
Speaker 1: giving the opponent you know, things that we need to
0:55
Speaker 1: work on, but rest assured. I mean, you guys probably
0:58
Speaker 1: know the things that we need to work on that
1:00
Speaker 1: show up at mean, those aren't those aren't secrets by
1:02
Speaker 1: any stretch, but individually as a group or excuse me,
1:06
Speaker 1: as a unit. And then in position rooms, Hey, this
1:09
Speaker 1: is where our players are are showing up in a
1:12
Speaker 1: good way. And then this is where you know, maybe
1:14
Speaker 1: some technique things, some process things, how we're coaching some
1:18
Speaker 1: things where our sweet spots are. Schematically, I think we're
1:22
Speaker 1: able to shine some light on that as well.
1:27
Speaker 3: Pretty touch stretched physically. The three games in eleven days
1:30
Speaker 3: a difference than the guys kind of this week coming
1:32
Speaker 3: back having that.
1:33
Speaker 1: Rest and everything, or well, yeah, anytime you get a
1:36
Speaker 1: chance to take a couple of days to take a
1:38
Speaker 1: breath and remove yourself from the building. It felt some
1:42
Speaker 1: some good energy this morning, and guys are enthused and
1:45
Speaker 1: we're eager. I mean like it's all on tape, it's
1:48
Speaker 1: all in front of us. The guys know we have
1:51
Speaker 1: such an opportunity. I mean, we're three and three. We
1:54
Speaker 1: haven't been playing our best ball, and we felt like
1:57
Speaker 1: we had an opportunity to win each game you know,
2:00
Speaker 1: in some you know, in some stretch.
2:02
Speaker 2: So it felt like, hey, there's.
2:03
Speaker 1: An opportunity for us to to really become a great team.
2:07
Speaker 2: So we got to go do it.
2:08
Speaker 4: When's a lot of time you were able to do
2:09
Speaker 4: a padvod practice before today.
2:12
Speaker 1: I believe it was the Lion's week. Yeah, Lion's week.
2:18
Speaker 4: You mentioned you.
2:18
Speaker 2: Look everything make them changes.
2:20
Speaker 4: What's kind of the balance you have to walk between.
2:22
Speaker 4: You want to fix things and get things right, but
2:24
Speaker 4: you can't tweak too much in one week for game.
2:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:28
Speaker 1: I don't know if I use the word fix, but
2:30
Speaker 1: if I did that, I was mistaken.
2:32
Speaker 2: I told the guys, look, we got to stick to
2:35
Speaker 2: our process.
2:36
Speaker 1: And keep making it better, keep making improvements, keep attacking,
2:40
Speaker 1: keep playing, keep believing.
2:42
Speaker 2: Uh, we're doing a lot of great things.
2:44
Speaker 1: We've won three games kind of doing in our formula,
2:46
Speaker 1: our style of football, and we understand why we've lost
2:50
Speaker 1: the games we've lost. So the focus is about going
2:53
Speaker 1: playing really solid, complimentary football and playing your best football
2:58
Speaker 1: individually as well. And so what you know, what are
3:01
Speaker 1: the steps that you need to take to do that
3:02
Speaker 1: on a daily basis?
3:03
Speaker 5: What do you need to do to force more takeaways?
3:06
Speaker 1: Well, we got we got to get more people to
3:07
Speaker 1: the football, you know, consistently, and uh, we got to
3:11
Speaker 1: I think we have to put more create more situations
3:14
Speaker 1: where we're putting more pressure on the quarterback where the
3:16
Speaker 1: ball comes to life.
3:17
Speaker 2: Uh more shots on goal.
3:19
Speaker 1: You know you don't you know, you miss one hundred
3:21
Speaker 1: percent of the shots you don't take, So uh making
3:23
Speaker 1: sure that we're we're charging, you know, really taking taking
3:26
Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities. There's been some opportunities where there's
3:29
Speaker 1: been some games where we're taking a lot of shots
3:30
Speaker 1: and the ball's not coming out. It's been a couple
3:32
Speaker 1: of games where the ball's out and it doesn't bounce
3:34
Speaker 1: our way. And then there's been you know, the last
3:36
Speaker 1: two games, we just we haven't taken as many shots
3:38
Speaker 1: as we need.
3:38
Speaker 2: To be taking.
3:39
Speaker 1: And that is a function of you know, being in
3:41
Speaker 1: a good, a proper angle and understanding the situation when
3:44
Speaker 1: you know when you can punch and when the ball
3:46
Speaker 1: does come to life.
3:46
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a combination between all those things, like.
3:49
Speaker 1: The challenge though this week and the way that they
3:50
Speaker 1: protect her cousins and there's not asking any chances.
3:53
Speaker 5: To get to him.
3:54
Speaker 2: Uh.
3:54
Speaker 1: Well, they do a great job of staying on schedule.
3:56
Speaker 1: There's not many third downs in the breakdown. I think,
3:58
Speaker 1: you know, there's their averaging it feels like six or
4:01
Speaker 1: seven third downs a game. So you need to win
4:04
Speaker 1: first down. And it's not like they're just running every
4:06
Speaker 1: first down his runs actions. They got a good tempo package,
4:10
Speaker 1: they do a great job, so you got to be
4:13
Speaker 1: able to knock out the runs they're presenting you on
4:15
Speaker 1: early downs and then forcing him into passing situations. And
4:17
Speaker 1: again we've said, hey, the passing stats on offense is complimentary.
4:21
Speaker 1: How we're playing on defense, it's the same way. If
4:24
Speaker 1: we can get off to a fast start and take
4:25
Speaker 1: the lead, you know, and if you have the lead
4:27
Speaker 1: in the second half, then you know they're forcing into
4:30
Speaker 1: passing situations as well.
4:31
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a team approach. What is Harris
4:34
Speaker 2: burn to the defense, Well, just.
4:37
Speaker 1: An opportunity to get a really, really really good player
4:39
Speaker 1: that we have a lot of respect for. He's big,
4:42
Speaker 1: he's tough, he's rugged, provide some we use I think
4:47
Speaker 1: we use the term position flexibility probably too much, but
4:51
Speaker 1: he does do that and can play really all all
4:53
Speaker 1: three gaps up front. So it gives us gives us
4:57
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to have a pretty deep front.
4:59
Speaker 2: Where do you see him primary really playing.
5:01
Speaker 1: Well, it'll play it'll play like C gap to B gap.
5:05
Speaker 1: So however, that kind of presents itself.
5:07
Speaker 6: I said something of the likes of this team plays
5:10
Speaker 6: better from behind. Do you think that the play calling
5:12
Speaker 6: is also better when you guys are playing from behind?
5:14
Speaker 6: And if so, I mean, can you kind of call
5:17
Speaker 6: better plays.
5:17
Speaker 2: From the game?
5:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish, I wish I could call great plays
5:21
Speaker 1: the whole game. I mean, I think it's a mentality
5:25
Speaker 1: of starting fast, getting your mind right, playing decisive early
5:30
Speaker 1: in games, staying aggressive. Absolutely, you know, play calling we can,
5:35
Speaker 1: we can always, you can always do a better job.
5:36
Speaker 1: You know, you're never gonna leave the game thinking man, Shoot,
5:40
Speaker 1: I just called the perfect game. You know they're always thinking. Man,
5:42
Speaker 1: those are the ones you think about. They keep you
5:43
Speaker 1: up at night and uh, but.
5:46
Speaker 2: That's part of the whole process of everybody.
5:47
Speaker 1: Taking accountability and and trying to get better. And I
5:50
Speaker 1: think we can get off the faster starts for sure.
5:53
Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon's for six games, and just what can you
5:56
Speaker 3: do with the guy that athletic to put him in
5:58
Speaker 3: positions to make more of those impacts type plays.
6:01
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think Spoon's had a great start
6:03
Speaker 1: to the season. I don't know if his stats represent
6:05
Speaker 1: that he's been playing a little bit more outside based
6:09
Speaker 1: off are where we're at in the back end, and
6:12
Speaker 1: sometimes you don't kind of like you don't sometimes you
6:14
Speaker 1: don't feel weak because they're not really going after him.
6:16
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Spoon. You don't necessarily feel
6:18
Speaker 1: his presence because the ball might not be going his way.
6:21
Speaker 1: But talk about a guy with just incredible energy that
6:25
Speaker 1: you know they we hope the rest of the guys match.
6:27
Speaker 1: And I think he's off to a great start. But
6:29
Speaker 1: he's one of the players on the team. You're always
6:31
Speaker 1: asking the question of how do we get him involved,
6:33
Speaker 1: how can we make him come to life? How can
6:34
Speaker 1: he affect the game? I mean, we're we're constantly asking
6:37
Speaker 1: those those questions regarding TK.
6:40
Speaker 2: He's on base for the most of rs and single
6:42
Speaker 2: season for his career.
6:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, a couple of costly turnovers, just wondering what he dissesses.
6:47
Speaker 2: Starts so far.
6:48
Speaker 1: I think he's off to a great start. Again, I
6:51
Speaker 1: don't I don't know the numbers. I know I feel
6:52
Speaker 1: him throughout the games. I'm sure you tell you there's
6:56
Speaker 1: some opportunities for him where you know, you could even
6:58
Speaker 1: be off to a better start. And so he's he's
7:00
Speaker 1: on a roll and he's a guy that we believe in.
7:02
Speaker 1: He's gonna be leading us, and uh, his presence has
7:06
Speaker 1: felt out there for sure.
7:08
Speaker 4: Linebackers that are kind of hopping into the wrong gap
7:10
Speaker 4: potentially or misfitting the run. How much of that can
7:13
Speaker 4: be coached and improved and how much of that's just
7:15
Speaker 4: pure instinct that people either have or they don't.
7:17
Speaker 2: It's both.
7:18
Speaker 1: We got we got talented dudes at the linebacker spot.
7:20
Speaker 1: We got great coaches. We just we just got to
7:22
Speaker 1: hammer it out and go to work. I mean, it's
7:24
Speaker 1: just a function of why we're making certain decisions and
7:28
Speaker 1: how we're playing certain things, and uh, and go to
7:31
Speaker 1: work at it and just try to try to create
7:33
Speaker 1: that situation as many times as possible so we can
7:36
Speaker 1: we can be more productive.
7:37
Speaker 3: When you look at.
7:38
Speaker 1: Atlanta's running game, how do those two backs compliment each
7:41
Speaker 1: other and make it tough to slow down?
7:43
Speaker 2: Well, there're two really good backs.
7:45
Speaker 1: Uh, both have been running this scheme for multiple years,
7:49
Speaker 1: going back to when you know when they're running a
7:52
Speaker 1: similar scheme there last year the same on line coach.
7:55
Speaker 1: Both see it really well. Both run it a little
7:57
Speaker 1: bit differently. One will little bit more power you know,
8:02
Speaker 1: I think I think Robinson is more and more of
8:04
Speaker 1: a one cut guy.
8:05
Speaker 2: But both uh, both both like the.
8:08
Speaker 1: Compliment and the scheme go well hand in hand, and
8:10
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough play to stop, so and it's
8:13
Speaker 1: not one of those things where it's just one guy.
8:15
Speaker 2: It's all eleven guys on it.
8:17
Speaker 1: We always say in the run defense, but all eleven
8:19
Speaker 1: guys in order to uh, to stop wide zone.
8:22
Speaker 4: Backing off of Bryant's question, when you look at the
8:25
Speaker 4: overall run defense as a whole big picture, do you
8:28
Speaker 4: feel like these are easy fixes? Do you think it's
8:30
Speaker 4: a combination of execution and.
8:32
Speaker 1: Depth or yeah, I think, uh, I mean, I don't know,
8:35
Speaker 1: you don't call it. I don't think of it like
8:36
Speaker 1: an easy fix. The good news is is there's a
8:38
Speaker 1: lot of good stuff. The bad news is is there's
8:41
Speaker 1: a chunk of plays that are really bad and the
8:45
Speaker 1: balls getting out and there's just way too many explosives. Uh,
8:49
Speaker 1: you can't play though if you take those plays out games,
8:51
Speaker 1: it's just not that's not reality.
8:53
Speaker 2: But it does.
8:53
Speaker 1: It does kind of sober you up because it is less.
8:57
Speaker 1: It's not every play, so it's hey, this is what's
8:59
Speaker 1: happening on these select group of plays, and uh, let's
9:03
Speaker 1: go to work at it.
9:04
Speaker 2: You know, let's get it. Let's let's make it right.
9:06
Speaker 5: Michael going back to you have to give more people
9:08
Speaker 5: to the ball.
9:09
Speaker 3: Is that a.
9:10
Speaker 5: Winness, recognition, communication, the angles, shading blocks.
9:15
Speaker 1: It's it's just doing it every day. We gotta go,
9:17
Speaker 1: we go step out on the practice field today. We
9:19
Speaker 1: need we need to practice that way. And the guys
9:21
Speaker 1: that the guys are doing everything we ask, we're just, uh,
9:24
Speaker 1: we're not there yet, so we just got to get
9:28
Speaker 1: And it's like a boring answer, but it's a it's
9:29
Speaker 1: a process. You wish we were further along than we
9:32
Speaker 1: are right now, especially on on in our run defense.
9:36
Speaker 1: But like anything else, I mean, there's always gonna be
9:38
Speaker 1: something that we're going to be lacking on and you
9:40
Speaker 1: guys are gonna ask us about and that's part of
9:42
Speaker 1: the deal. And I we understand that, and we know
9:45
Speaker 1: that's a part of our defense. That's that's holding us back.
9:48
Speaker 1: So we have to we have to improve that.
9:49
Speaker 4: In that matter, do you allow yourself for any moment
9:52
Speaker 4: to think about going back home this week or is
9:54
Speaker 4: it just too much focus on the game at hand.
9:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's no time to like go
10:00
Speaker 1: right around or anything, but there's there's a bunch. There's
10:02
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of people there, which would be
10:04
Speaker 1: be fun to see him.
10:06
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins has struggled a little bit against the blitz
10:08
Speaker 4: so far this year. You've made a career of not
10:11
Speaker 4: blitzing and still getting pressure. How much do you adjust
10:14
Speaker 4: for a given uh, you know, opponent versus sticking to
10:17
Speaker 4: what you do.
10:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question.
10:21
Speaker 1: We've always said we want to we want to play
10:22
Speaker 1: through our sweet spot, you know, in relation to how
10:26
Speaker 1: we want to attack a particular offense. And the quarterback
10:30
Speaker 1: is the main person in the offense, as well as
10:31
Speaker 1: the play caller, offsive, line, weapons, all those things. So
10:34
Speaker 1: those are the things you're taking into account. Of course,
10:36
Speaker 1: you'll tweak your approach throughout the game. Sometimes you kind
10:39
Speaker 1: of go into a game thinking one thing and maybe
10:42
Speaker 1: they have a plan for it and you got to adjust.
10:44
Speaker 1: Or sometimes you might say, oh, shoot, we sense the weakness,
10:47
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we uh, we step on the gas
10:50
Speaker 1: you know in that direction. So it's fluid, but yeah,
10:52
Speaker 1: you definitely think like we're not gonna be hard head
10:54
Speaker 1: and say we're just gonna do this all the time. Uh,
10:57
Speaker 1: but it's all about, like in terms of pressure in
10:59
Speaker 1: the quarterback, about how can you affect the quarterback the best.
11:02
Speaker 1: And we've always said it's about like it's a function
11:04
Speaker 1: of timing and how how fast you can win against
11:06
Speaker 1: the blocks. Sometimes that takes bring extra rushers.
11:10
Speaker 2: Uh.
11:10
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, it's it's faking it. You know,
11:12
Speaker 1: you know, you know all the things. So uh, but
11:14
Speaker 1: that's that's the approach.
11:16
Speaker 5: How would you rate I know, I kind of the answer,
11:18
Speaker 5: how are you going to rate your special How do
11:19
Speaker 5: you would you rate your special teams?
11:21
Speaker 4: You've had some good things and.
11:22
Speaker 2: Some things to Yeah.
11:24
Speaker 1: The the unfortunate thing about our special teams is when
11:26
Speaker 1: we've made mistakes, it's the ball has been affected. So
11:30
Speaker 1: it's it's one we're the decision making that we're making
11:32
Speaker 1: in the return game obviously, Uh, you know, fumbling the
11:35
Speaker 1: ball last game with Laviska. So again it's a it's
11:39
Speaker 1: a it's it's a small handful of plays but that
11:42
Speaker 1: are really turning the tide of games. And so we
11:45
Speaker 1: have to be better. We have to make faster decisions
11:47
Speaker 1: and uh, we've got to protect the football.
11:50
Speaker 2: Just we have a Byron at practice today. I believe
11:53
Speaker 2: Byron will be out there.
11:55
Speaker 3: What about it, Trey Brown.
11:57
Speaker 2: Trey, I don't think it's going to be out there today.
12:02
Speaker 5: On George Fat, is he making progress coming back?
12:05
Speaker 2: He is? He is, probably won't be back this week, though,
12:09
Speaker 2: a guy like.
12:10
Speaker 5: Roy coming in, I mean, being a veteran, does it
12:12
Speaker 5: take I guess less time for guys like that to
12:15
Speaker 5: kind of get up to speed on the playbook and
12:17
Speaker 5: know what's going on versus the maybe bringing in like
12:19
Speaker 5: a younger guy.
12:21
Speaker 2: Could you repeat the question, sorry, With.
12:22
Speaker 5: A guy like Roy coming in being a veteran, is
12:25
Speaker 5: it kind of a quicker adjustment for him versus like
12:28
Speaker 5: a younger guy coming.
12:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, definitely.
12:30
Speaker 1: And you know he played for Joe Collin and a
12:33
Speaker 1: lot of that language carried over from Baltimore, so it'll
12:37
Speaker 1: be he'll be a quick study, you know, and guys
12:39
Speaker 1: up front, I mean there's so much.
12:41
Speaker 2: Carryover in the league with some of the language.
12:43
Speaker 1: And stuff and a six techniques, a six technique everywhere
12:45
Speaker 1: you go, so we know he can do that.
12:48
Speaker 5: We anticipate opening the practice window for Abe Lucas this week.
12:52
Speaker 3: No Jared Reid coming in, look at I guess how
12:55
Speaker 3: quickly can he get into things and what can he
12:57
Speaker 3: do for you guys once he comes out.
12:58
Speaker 1: Well, I'm impressed with Jay Reid. He's had a great
13:01
Speaker 1: practice on Monday, and guy's ready to go.
13:05
Speaker 2: He's ready to go. So he's right in the thick
13:06
Speaker 2: of it.
13:07
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll see if and when he's you know,
13:09
Speaker 1: we want to bring him up and have him ready
13:11
Speaker 1: for games.
13:11
Speaker 2: But he's doing a great job.
13:13
Speaker 5: Is Jason Peters anywhere near contributing player shape?
13:17
Speaker 1: He's he's in shape to do it. He's he's practicing well,
13:20
Speaker 1: he's part of that. He's talking it up with all
13:22
Speaker 1: the guys. Love just to leve what he's bringing to
13:25
Speaker 1: the table right now. But if and when he'd be
13:27
Speaker 1: ready to go.
13:28
Speaker 2: Expect him back this week or yeah, Reek, we'll see
13:31
Speaker 2: throughout the week. It's going to be kind of come
13:34
Speaker 2: down to the wire with Reek. It seems like with.
13:36
Speaker 5: The padded non padded practices, was that part of your
13:39
Speaker 5: reassessment on how you practice and what you're going to
13:42
Speaker 5: do going forward.
13:45
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't say no. I wouldn't say so.
13:48
Speaker 1: I mean the last couple of weeks, we're just it's
13:50
Speaker 1: the function of a short week, and then you know
13:53
Speaker 1: how much how many fast reps you want on a
13:55
Speaker 1: on a game on a Thursday game week. But to me,
14:00
Speaker 1: it's like when and how much do we need the
14:02
Speaker 1: padded practice early in the season. The answer to that,
14:05
Speaker 1: as we asked, we probably do, and especially now we
14:07
Speaker 1: definitely do.
14:08
Speaker 5: What are like the fundamental keys to stop in a
14:11
Speaker 5: wide zone attack.
14:13
Speaker 1: Well, different people have different approaches. For us, it's it's
14:16
Speaker 1: really about setting the edge and staying square up front,
14:20
Speaker 1: pressing the line of scrimmage. They do a great job
14:22
Speaker 1: of cutting you out on the backside, so if and win,
14:24
Speaker 1: the ball winds all the way back and you stay
14:26
Speaker 1: alive on the backside and then be able to leverage
14:28
Speaker 1: blocks as well. So it's kind of a if you
14:33
Speaker 1: got to win front side initially, otherwise the ball's out
14:35
Speaker 1: the gate.
14:35
Speaker 2: Once you do that, the ball.
14:36
Speaker 1: Kind of goes back gap by a gap, and so
14:39
Speaker 1: you just need to make sure that either it's either
14:41
Speaker 1: your in your gap or somebody else's in your gap,
14:43
Speaker 1: so the ball stops otherwise it falls off the table.
14:46
Speaker 3: How did you says how your offensive running game played
14:48
Speaker 3: against the forty nine ers.
14:51
Speaker 2: It wasn't good enough. It wasn't good enough.
14:53
Speaker 1: Excuse me, U. It goes on both sides. You know,
14:57
Speaker 1: we didn't win the game, and we wanted to run
14:59
Speaker 1: the ball than we did. Guys know that there's some
15:02
Speaker 1: good stuff on there that we've been that we were
15:04
Speaker 1: able to do out of the gun that really hadn't
15:05
Speaker 1: showed up in the first few games. So it's just
15:08
Speaker 1: a work in progress right now. So the guys know that.
15:11
Speaker 1: And uh, I think we got a great plan this
15:12
Speaker 1: week and excited to see the guys go, go, go
15:15
Speaker 1: make it happen.
15:16
Speaker 5: Good that you saw when you self dessessed, particularly on defense.
15:20
Speaker 1: Well defensively, I think situationally we've done it. We've done
15:23
Speaker 1: a good job. But there's you know, the one game
15:25
Speaker 1: in the red zone against Detroit we were over the
15:27
Speaker 1: rest of the time, I thought our I thought our
15:29
Speaker 1: red zone defense on the whole has done a nice job.
15:31
Speaker 1: Third down defense we have gotten to third down has
15:35
Speaker 1: has played well short yardage, uh, some two minute situations.
15:39
Speaker 1: So some of those things, you know, show up well.
15:41
Speaker 1: But in the you know, the run of the action game,
15:43
Speaker 1: definitely need a definitely need improvement.
15:45
Speaker 4: You spent some time with Pete, Carroll and John at
15:47
Speaker 4: the basketball game, and you talk a little bit about
15:50
Speaker 4: that experience.
15:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great.
15:52
Speaker 1: We went with Jody and Bert and got to meet
15:55
Speaker 1: got to meet the GM and and really just hanging out.
15:58
Speaker 1: I've never been court side of any basketball game high school,
16:00
Speaker 1: so I thought that was kind of cool.
16:01
Speaker 2: I was surprised. Uh, guys are incredibly They are freaks. Man.
16:07
Speaker 2: Wasn't anticipating Pete being there. We saw him.
16:08
Speaker 1: He was sitting courtside too, and figured to be good
16:11
Speaker 1: to go chop it up with him, and Uh, it
16:13
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. You got to meet my
16:15
Speaker 1: wife and just kind of compare notes on some things.
16:18
Speaker 1: But it was a good time.
16:22
Speaker 2: That used to be.
16:22
Speaker 1: I mean, I started working in football and now I
16:24
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not as cool anymore.
16:30
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks guys,
