Latest / Seahawks Press Pass / Pete Carroll: "Riq Woolen Is Such A Talented Athlete"
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Yuh. First I would say, uh, it's all it's just
- 0:05Speaker 1: heart crushing a loss for Alex Collins to be to
- 0:08Speaker 1: be gone. He was a beautiful kid and a wonderful
- 0:11Speaker 1: competitor and and all that, but uh, really it's the
- 0:14Speaker 1: person that that will miss the most. He had a
- 0:17Speaker 1: great spirit about him and uh, he was fun as heck,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and and uh, it's just so unfortunate for his family
- 0:23Speaker 1: and for all of us and to have lost him.
- 0:25Speaker 1: So I wish it was something we can't do. We
- 0:28Speaker 1: can't do anything, but it's a it's a it's a heartbreaker, Okay,
- 0:33Speaker 1: I'll hire And for those of you who were here, yeah,
- 0:37Speaker 1: we've all been just talking about it, you know, and
- 0:39Speaker 1: just kind of sharing the you know, the the suddenness
- 0:42Speaker 1: of the impact of a loss like that, you know,
- 0:44Speaker 1: and all that. So we're just we're just kind of
- 0:45Speaker 1: helping each other out. We're doing all right.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Is there a positive memory for him that just maybe
- 0:49Speaker 2: makes you smile? But next you remember the person who was.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Out the craziest thing that you know, he would uh
- 0:55Speaker 1: when he got really excited, he'd started doing his dance,
- 0:58Speaker 1: you know, and he had he had Whatever that answer was,
- 1:00Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the Irish jig or
- 1:02Speaker 1: clogging or what. I don't know what it was, but uh,
- 1:05Speaker 1: it was a big deal to him, and and he
- 1:07Speaker 1: let everybody up when whenever he broke into it. So, uh,
- 1:11Speaker 1: that's kind of one of the fun things that we
- 1:13Speaker 1: remember about him. Do you think it stunned your players
- 1:16Speaker 1: at twenty years old? They probably field against the cold
- 1:20Speaker 1: that you can't touch them. It's not just our players.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I think everybody feels invincible in their twenties, you know.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And and uh so it's a shock and it's something
- 1:27Speaker 1: that most a lot of the players and the coaches all,
- 1:31Speaker 1: you know, we don't we don't experience losses of sudden
- 1:34Speaker 1: losses like that. And so often for the young guys,
- 1:37Speaker 1: it's the first time that they've had to see that.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Not for all of them. Then there's been a lot
- 1:40Speaker 1: of hardships in everybody's lives too, But uh, it's just
- 1:43Speaker 1: a shock to reality. Really what hits Jordan broke running down? Yeah,
- 1:50Speaker 1: Jordan got out to walk through today and uh, which
- 1:53Speaker 1: is a really big step. And now he's he's back
- 1:56Speaker 1: in there so he can practice now when the time
- 1:59Speaker 1: is right, get him out there. We're not going to
- 2:01Speaker 1: rush it at all, but we wanted to get get
- 2:03Speaker 1: him back because he's capable of doing the walk through
- 2:05Speaker 1: tempo stuff and that's you know, that's forty minutes of
- 2:08Speaker 1: work running the defense and all that. So it's a
- 2:10Speaker 1: it's a real boost to him to get to get
- 2:13Speaker 1: his learning up and the communications and all that kind
- 2:16Speaker 1: of stuff and just for us to see him back
- 2:17Speaker 1: out there and get get accustomed to him being to
- 2:20Speaker 1: start his return. It's gonna be a while still, but
- 2:23Speaker 1: that's a great sign and he's gonna make it back.
- 2:25Speaker 1: He's gonna be okay.
- 2:27Speaker 2: He's with sure you need because for him, because he
- 2:31Speaker 2: asked a little bit about timeline is how do you
- 2:33Speaker 2: pay attention to the climes out out here.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Either those focused?
- 2:35Speaker 3: How he is Boston?
- 2:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not. He's not a regular routine guy.
- 2:42Speaker 1: He's he goes over and above. He pushes harder than most.
- 2:46Speaker 1: He demands a tremendous amount out of himself and it
- 2:49Speaker 1: shows in his his ability to get back this soon.
- 2:52Speaker 1: And he looks great running. I mean, he doesn't look
- 2:54Speaker 1: like there's anything wrong at all in his workouts and
- 2:56Speaker 1: all that. We're just trying to establish a workload and
- 2:59Speaker 1: cal seeing him up to you know, for the work
- 3:01Speaker 1: that's that's he's called on because it's a once he
- 3:04Speaker 1: steps out there and he's going and it's it's on.
- 3:06Speaker 1: And so we have to make sure that he's ready
- 3:09Speaker 1: to handle that and and sustain that. It's not just
- 3:12Speaker 1: getting back, it's staying back and and and building up
- 3:14Speaker 1: from there. So he's a tremendous guy to work with
- 3:17Speaker 1: because he's so hard in pushing himself and tough on himself.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Has to share that he did someone the rehab with
- 3:23Speaker 2: Jamal and he feels like Jamal is his clothes or
- 3:26Speaker 2: he's in good shape.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? Yeah. I've watched their dual
- 3:30Speaker 1: workouts every day, you know, since they've been back, and uh,
- 3:33Speaker 1: they've been pushing each other, which has been a great,
- 3:35Speaker 1: a great impetus for both of them. Jamal looks looks
- 3:38Speaker 1: like he's he's on his way back to again. We've
- 3:40Speaker 1: we've got to get him not just where they can
- 3:43Speaker 1: kind of get back out there, but they got to
- 3:44Speaker 1: be able to stay out there. So that's why we're
- 3:47Speaker 1: taking the time and making sure that you know, hopefully
- 3:50Speaker 1: we can guarantee that when they return there, they stay
- 3:52Speaker 1: in return long the time for georg regular season offen agreez,
- 4:00Speaker 1: anything could happen. I mean that's what we talked him.
- 4:02Speaker 1: The one two, three weeks from now. Yeah, you know,
- 4:05Speaker 1: maybe he's not quite as far along. Does Jordan play
- 4:13Speaker 1: both middle and weeks later? Where do you kind of
- 4:15Speaker 1: how do you kind of yeah, I have the way
- 4:19Speaker 1: to be behind that to be able to pass the
- 4:22Speaker 1: physical seven months prove certy, what are you surprised that
- 4:26Speaker 1: it was.
- 4:26Speaker 3: This point that he was able to do that?
- 4:28Speaker 2: And you can get back the way he.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Has well early you know, in the summertime we's we'd
- 4:33Speaker 1: seen him work. He'd send some uh you know, some
- 4:35Speaker 1: of his workouts and all, and you can see him going.
- 4:37Speaker 1: So we kind of got our hopes up to you know,
- 4:38Speaker 1: he was on a really good pace to make it back.
- 4:43Speaker 1: But we're not there yet. We still we still got
- 4:45Speaker 1: to make sure he you know that we can guarantee
- 4:47Speaker 1: that he's gonna be able to stay out. So but
- 4:49Speaker 1: it's it's a fantastic return. As good as he looks,
- 4:52Speaker 1: you would never know that there's something wrong with him.
- 4:54Speaker 1: You could not see it when you're watch him run
- 4:55Speaker 1: in and change directions and break on the ball, all
- 4:57Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Drake Young. Sure, yeah, we've missed him.
- 5:01Speaker 1: That's it's been. It seems like it's been a month,
- 5:03Speaker 1: but you know, it's probably been about ten days or something.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But he's a good, hard working kid and and he's
- 5:08Speaker 1: again he pushed himself to get back out. We're gonna
- 5:12Speaker 1: take this one day at a time with him to
- 5:13Speaker 1: make sure that he can stay out. Cody Toms Cody
- 5:17Speaker 1: Cody his first day back, you know, so we'll see
- 5:19Speaker 1: what happens. Very optimistic, you know about his return. Also,
- 5:23Speaker 1: he came in as direked in such great shape that
- 5:26Speaker 1: they can bounce back really quickly. H So we'll see
- 5:28Speaker 1: if they if you know that what they have, they
- 5:31Speaker 1: have different injuries, but see if if you know, if
- 5:33Speaker 1: they'll tolerate it. We'll have to wait and see. So
- 5:36Speaker 1: are you more of a Kenneth Walker any more of
- 5:38Speaker 1: a time? Kenny's back and walk through now he's doing.
- 5:41Speaker 1: He did the walk through today too. He looked great.
- 5:43Speaker 1: He looked like he was flying. So he's gonna make
- 5:47Speaker 1: it back. There's no doubt. He's he looks like he's healed.
- 5:50Speaker 1: But he too needs more work to make sure that
- 5:53Speaker 1: we can you know, guarantee that he can stay. But
- 5:55Speaker 1: he looked great today running around. And how about Kenny's on.
- 5:59Speaker 1: He's on a good arc right now. He when as
- 6:02Speaker 1: soon as he saw Ken out there, he's even wanted
- 6:03Speaker 1: to get back out and walk through. Also, he was
- 6:05Speaker 1: clamoring for it today. I made an appeal to the trainers.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Uh today, and so we'll see what happens in the
- 6:12Speaker 1: next couple of days. But he's making good progress. But
- 6:15Speaker 1: Kenny Wark was gonna he's gonna be back, no doubt.
- 6:18Speaker 1: When you're spoon or is he right now? Spoons? Uh,
- 6:22Speaker 1: he's in. He's in his own own spot right now.
- 6:24Speaker 1: He's running straight ahead and getting there. He's getting there,
- 6:27Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be a bit still. He's a
- 6:30Speaker 1: special team. I'm sorry. Special team is in a pretty.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Sy game winning.
- 6:34Speaker 1: A lot of guys are valued for the spot. Maybe
- 6:36Speaker 1: they play a lot of special teams for hospital years
- 6:38Speaker 1: of college. I'm looking looking at that he's valuing. No,
- 6:41Speaker 1: that's that's classically what we're doing. You know. We we
- 6:44Speaker 1: we're looking for a spark. We're looking for a place
- 6:46Speaker 1: for a guy to fit in where he can compete
- 6:49Speaker 1: and knock somebody else who maybe have a couple more
- 6:51Speaker 1: years on him, you know, because the value to special teams,
- 6:53Speaker 1: so it's really important that that they maximize those reps.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Would make a huge deal about it and really sell
- 6:59Speaker 1: that hard to them. They they're not missing that point.
- 7:01Speaker 1: They just got to get their chances and hope they
- 7:03Speaker 1: can do something. It was really interesting to see, uh uh,
- 7:07Speaker 1: to see our guys that just rise to the level
- 7:10Speaker 1: of it, you know, across the board. The young guys
- 7:11Speaker 1: did a really good job and it was cool to
- 7:13Speaker 1: see them, you know, work so hard. So it's if
- 7:16Speaker 1: they realized the importance. I can see it. Uh, He's
- 7:22Speaker 1: he's running, he's not quite there yet, He's he's getting back.
- 7:26Speaker 1: He'll make it. He'll make it. They'll probably make it,
- 7:29Speaker 1: probably in next week or so. Ignore. Mike's got a shoulder.
- 7:33Speaker 1: That's we're just he's got old, old injury in the shoulder.
- 7:35Speaker 1: We're just making sure. He had a little bit of
- 7:38Speaker 1: a stinger and we don't want to keep that, uh
- 7:39Speaker 1: in a reoccurring kind of mode here, So we're gonna
- 7:41Speaker 1: slow it down for a couple of days and see
- 7:43Speaker 1: how he goes. I don't know what will happen for
- 7:44Speaker 1: the weekend. At this point, shoulders sterile. Candler making really
- 7:49Speaker 1: good progress. He's doing a lot of stuff now, so
- 7:51Speaker 1: he's I mean, it sounds like everybody talking about is
- 7:54Speaker 1: kind of in the same mode. They're they're all working
- 7:56Speaker 1: really hard and and it's positive. That can't give you
- 8:00Speaker 1: a prediction on that one and all yet though again
- 8:03Speaker 1: we want to really to the shoulders. We want to
- 8:05Speaker 1: protect because we don't want them to be chronic, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: where they keep coming back home. I made a big
- 8:12Speaker 1: play today, knocked down a slant in a crucial period
- 8:14Speaker 1: we were doing today. It was great to see him
- 8:16Speaker 1: make something happen. He's moving well, he's running really fast.
- 8:21Speaker 1: He's he's he's It's gonna take him some time though,
- 8:23Speaker 1: to really get the confidence and what he talks about.
- 8:25Speaker 1: He says it feels like his feet aren't going where
- 8:27Speaker 1: they want him to go, you know. So he's still
- 8:28Speaker 1: rusty right now. But working against DK is gonna it's
- 8:31Speaker 1: gonna get you ready.
- 8:33Speaker 2: When during the way he's approaching his role does it's
- 8:35Speaker 2: almost I know, the different vi will vels remind you
- 8:37Speaker 2: of the way Gino approached when.
- 8:38Speaker 1: He was in that role beyond Russell. Interesting you should
- 8:41Speaker 1: say that I met with you know yesterday and we
- 8:42Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, how camp's going and all
- 8:44Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and I credited him with the
- 8:48Speaker 1: role that he played and also kind of presenting how
- 8:51Speaker 1: you could approach it to in a way that it
- 8:53Speaker 1: seems like Drew is doing the same thing. Uh, there's
- 8:56Speaker 1: a mentality about it. You have to convince yourself that
- 8:59Speaker 1: you you're preparing to play and uh so it's it's
- 9:03Speaker 1: it's something that we're working on. He has adopted the
- 9:07Speaker 1: mentality and I guess he can sustain it. What Gino
- 9:10Speaker 1: did is he sustained it for years and uh unusual
- 9:14Speaker 1: focus ability for him that he demonstrated. It doesn't surprise
- 9:18Speaker 1: us now, but we did, you know, to see it.
- 9:20Speaker 1: It was very meaningful and to have that kind of teaching,
- 9:23Speaker 1: you know, in front of you then example that that
- 9:25Speaker 1: Drew has, it's really helping Drew's mentality. One on one rep.
- 9:30Speaker 1: He saw it very end between the one boy Henry,
- 9:33Speaker 1: what was that all about? Boys Day? Well, that was
- 9:35Speaker 1: today was competition Wednesday for us and in case the
- 9:38Speaker 1: day comes down to a dead tie, that will be
- 9:41Speaker 1: the tiebreaker right there. That's yeah, it's it's as you
- 9:47Speaker 1: could tell, it was highly contested, and so that's good.
- 9:50Speaker 1: That's all coming down to the It will be brought
- 9:52Speaker 1: up to the commissioner's desk and we'll find out. As
- 9:56Speaker 1: a matter of fact, there was a penalty that was thrown.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Today we got a phone call out of nowhere for
- 10:00Speaker 1: New York that the they wiped the defensive penalty off
- 10:02Speaker 1: the board, so they picked up the fly. So there's
- 10:04Speaker 1: I may have to may have to go to a
- 10:06Speaker 1: higher court to get the ruling on what happened at
- 10:09Speaker 1: all of us hadn't kind of the TD obviously the
- 10:13Speaker 1: other night, what did you just in general hill of
- 10:16Speaker 1: his program? To me, he's a he's a quarterback, you know.
- 10:18Speaker 1: I mean, and I say that because he's got a
- 10:19Speaker 1: real mentality for it. He's comfortable with the challenge of
- 10:23Speaker 1: the job. Even on this level. I mean, he's throwing
- 10:27Speaker 1: hundreds of touchdown passes. I think he threw sixty two
- 10:30Speaker 1: touchdown passes his senior year in high school sixty two.
- 10:33Speaker 1: How many games did they play? So he's you can
- 10:37Speaker 1: just tell he's been there and done it, and he's
- 10:40Speaker 1: got a good tough mentality about him. You saw him
- 10:42Speaker 1: run the football a little bit, and so I'm not
- 10:46Speaker 1: surprised that that he you know, he's four for four
- 10:48Speaker 1: with a touchdown pass to you know, they kind of
- 10:50Speaker 1: put the game away. So I'm really excited about what
- 10:52Speaker 1: he's doing.
- 10:53Speaker 2: No offense. Playing in a contract year. Sometimes that care
- 10:58Speaker 2: kind of bring guys to meaner floid talking about me.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I don't I don't think I'm in a contract here.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 11:10Speaker 2: What don't you see from him so far? What do
- 11:12Speaker 2: you need to see from him?
- 11:13Speaker 3: In general?
- 11:14Speaker 1: He's really happy to be back out. You know, took
- 11:16Speaker 1: him a couple extra days to get out here. He's
- 11:18Speaker 1: doing everything. You know, he's really competing hard and uh,
- 11:22Speaker 1: he's a good football player. We're fired up to get
- 11:24Speaker 1: him back out. He's doing everything just that we're watching it.
- 11:29Speaker 1: You know, we're making sure that we don't aggravate his
- 11:32Speaker 1: elbow and any sooner than we have to. I know
- 11:33Speaker 1: he wants to play this weekend. We'll see what happens.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Girlier in camp about the two tackles kind of year
- 11:38Speaker 3: one to year two jump, whether it's for a quarterback
- 11:41Speaker 3: or your offensive corner, maybe for yourself just the comfort
- 11:44Speaker 3: coming into a season knowing who those guys are, that
- 11:47Speaker 3: you're solid in that positions.
- 11:48Speaker 1: What's that I kind of like to look at like
- 11:50Speaker 1: this year is my sophomore year two. You know, it's
- 11:53Speaker 1: just kind of you know, I finally got my feet wet,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and I'm just kind of getting back seeing the game
- 11:57Speaker 1: a little bit better, slowing it down and all that
- 11:58Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I'm not on the right track.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Okay, competing attack, but we don't know who the guys are.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Just being that solid at that position. What does that
- 12:08Speaker 1: do for everyone's confidence? Yeah, it's it starts with their
- 12:12Speaker 1: own confidence, you know. The way they've returned. And again,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have talked to them much,
- 12:16Speaker 1: but they'll I'm sure they'll. They'll let you know that
- 12:19Speaker 1: it feels so much different to him what they can
- 12:21Speaker 1: see and what they anticipate in all of that. That
- 12:24Speaker 1: adds to everybody's confidence. I mean, just think the quarterbacks
- 12:27Speaker 1: going on thinking I got the guys's never played before
- 12:29Speaker 1: on both sides. You know, they're not thinking anymore. They're
- 12:31Speaker 1: they're thinking, I got a really solid competitor out there
- 12:33Speaker 1: that knows his job and knows how to be a
- 12:35Speaker 1: pro and all. So it's entirely different than in effects
- 12:38Speaker 1: really affects the whole club. To have guys like that,
- 12:40Speaker 1: we think, remember last year, I perception they act fellows,
- 12:45Speaker 1: so fall all in the rocks and kind of rough
- 12:48Speaker 1: around the eye. Just change. Where do you think he
- 12:51Speaker 1: is now? That course, it's still a little rough around here. Yeah,
- 12:59Speaker 1: he's he's still well. He's got so much to progress
- 13:02Speaker 1: and to make up as he goes at this. He's
- 13:06Speaker 1: such a talented athlete. It's more than that though. It's
- 13:09Speaker 1: not that he's tall and fast. His days as a receiver,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and I think I've told you guys this before his
- 13:15Speaker 1: days as a receiver hadn't left him. He understands routes
- 13:18Speaker 1: and he can feel the routes when they're happening. Like
- 13:21Speaker 1: I'm sure on the slant today that he got in
- 13:23Speaker 1: front and you know, made a beautiful play on he
- 13:25Speaker 1: felt that. And the difference between feeling routes that they're
- 13:29Speaker 1: happening and reacting to the route after it's been run
- 13:32Speaker 1: is night and day. And it's like sure him had
- 13:36Speaker 1: that same mentality, and it's kind of the same history
- 13:38Speaker 1: and upbringing and all, and it shows, and so it
- 13:41Speaker 1: quickens their their reaction time, and so you quicken his
- 13:45Speaker 1: reaction time with six whatever he is six four, and
- 13:48Speaker 1: all of the speed that he has, he gives him
- 13:50Speaker 1: the potential to be a fantastic player. So the challenge
- 13:55Speaker 1: for Reeks is to get down to the every single
- 13:58Speaker 1: snap mentality. Every snap is is all in itself. It's
- 14:02Speaker 1: only play. It's the only play he's got, and that
- 14:04Speaker 1: that that mentality for a corner. It takes time to
- 14:07Speaker 1: develop that kind of concentration. It's really really heavy, uh stuff.
- 14:11Speaker 1: And and but he's we were working at it. That's
- 14:14Speaker 1: why I say he's still rough because he's he's not
- 14:16Speaker 1: there yet, but he's working at it. And he understands
- 14:18Speaker 1: that he's trying to get somewhere. That's that's a that's
- 14:21Speaker 1: it's a level up from where he is right now.
- 14:23Speaker 1: So I love his attitude about it because he's really
- 14:26Speaker 1: he's always asking questions, always wants to know stuff, always
- 14:28Speaker 1: wants to get better and critiques everything really the way
- 14:31Speaker 1: you should. So it's it's it's a really fun thing
- 14:34Speaker 1: to watch. No, I just know that he's doing he's
- 14:39Speaker 1: doing much better, he's feeling much better. He's been riding
- 14:42Speaker 1: the bike and stuff like that, and you know he's
- 14:43Speaker 1: getting back to activity at all, super practical quality camp
- 14:47Speaker 1: and press are Patrick did a nice job. He's done
- 14:51Speaker 1: a really good job in camp. He's been really consistent.
