Latest / Seahawks Press Pass / Head Coach Mike Macdonald Recaps Week 2 Win at Steelers
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, all right, zoom Brian.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Coach, your team has the fewest penalty art it's in
- 0:14Speaker 2: the NFL through two weeks, spending money night football. What
- 0:17Speaker 2: goes into limiting penalty arts?
- 0:22Speaker 3: As a listening to your question, I'm thinking about how
- 0:24Speaker 3: many penalty yards we had last year and me saying
- 0:27Speaker 3: it was an overrated thing to a certain extent, I
- 0:29Speaker 3: still feel the same way.
- 0:32Speaker 4: Now.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Like I said, we have a spectrum on how we
- 0:35Speaker 3: treat penalties here. There's cost of doing business penalties where
- 0:38Speaker 3: we're living on the edge and something's happen, and then
- 0:41Speaker 3: there's some selfish penalties that.
- 0:46Speaker 4: We want to avoid as much as possible.
- 0:48Speaker 3: So fortunately, I think we're limiting the selfish ones right now,
- 0:53Speaker 3: which is what we need to continue. So what goes
- 0:56Speaker 3: into it? I'm not really sure. I mean, you got
- 0:58Speaker 3: to understand the rules. Uh, you got to coach it.
- 1:03Speaker 3: You got to coach those situations that you're gonna end
- 1:05Speaker 3: up in. There's discipline involved. I think there's a connection
- 1:09Speaker 3: that's required for us to play together. I would hopefully
- 1:15Speaker 3: that's a good enough answer.
- 1:16Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:16Speaker 4: I wish I had a like the secret the secret
- 1:19Speaker 4: answer that.
- 1:20Speaker 2: One one more quick one. So it seems like the
- 1:24Speaker 2: point of the toush push play, at least for some teams,
- 1:27Speaker 2: is that people can't stop it. And you guys are
- 1:30Speaker 2: two for two when you've used a J barner in that. Curious, like,
- 1:33Speaker 2: what was the thought process behind not just using that
- 1:36Speaker 2: Whenever you get into short yardede situations.
- 1:40Speaker 4: We will are you gonna? Can you get over a
- 1:43Speaker 4: yard in it? In that situation?
- 1:45Speaker 3: That was That was part of the conversation, not saying
- 1:48Speaker 3: that we wouldn't do it for a yard or more,
- 1:51Speaker 3: but right.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Now, that was that was part of the reason we
- 1:54Speaker 4: didn't do it. Thanks Jen, Could.
- 2:00Speaker 5: You scored a touchdown on the opening drive for the
- 2:02Speaker 5: first time I think in your tenure? How does that
- 2:05Speaker 5: set into motion everything else that happened?
- 2:07Speaker 3: Just getting great felt awesome. I love playing with the lead. Yeah, Look,
- 2:15Speaker 3: we as a football team once we get those in
- 2:21Speaker 3: those situations, we have to maintain that momentum and take
- 2:25Speaker 3: advantage of having an advantage having having a lead.
- 2:29Speaker 4: We got a good extend leads better.
- 2:31Speaker 3: So that's part of our emphasis as a football team
- 2:35Speaker 3: and where we can grow.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Does that change anything about play callings? It's available to.
- 2:41Speaker 4: You after that not necessarily at that point in the game.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I don't think definitely later in games it comes more
- 2:50Speaker 3: into play, but I wouldn't say it happens that early
- 2:52Speaker 3: in games.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Bob.
- 2:57Speaker 6: Yeah, we went back and look at the film that
- 2:59Speaker 6: what's our few most about. How you guys got the
- 3:01Speaker 6: running game going to the second half.
- 3:04Speaker 3: We're just steadfast and I went to some bigger personnel groups.
- 3:08Speaker 3: I think that was was helpful some of the schemes
- 3:11Speaker 3: that we're trying to get done. I just think that
- 3:14Speaker 3: we just stuck to it and there was a commitment
- 3:16Speaker 3: to it, and the guys kept executing and kept running
- 3:19Speaker 3: the ball hard, kept trying to finish blocks, and we
- 3:21Speaker 3: were able to pop some.
- 3:22Speaker 6: Runs on and on Renegade. Obviously, your your players seem
- 3:26Speaker 6: to really get excited when that came on. Was that
- 3:28Speaker 6: you guys played that a few times in practice last week?
- 3:30Speaker 6: Is that right during their practices or yeah?
- 3:32Speaker 3: I mean, look, our guys haven't been to Pittsburgh, you know,
- 3:39Speaker 3: so I think it's important too, especially having the experience
- 3:44Speaker 3: that we've had, like going there in the past, trying
- 3:47Speaker 3: to paint them a picture of what it's like and
- 3:51Speaker 3: and how they operate and understand and having them understand
- 3:54Speaker 3: what type of environment they're getting into, and visualization is
- 3:57Speaker 3: really I believe it's really powerful, So try to use
- 4:00Speaker 3: that to your advantage. But yeah, yeah, we did that,
- 4:04Speaker 3: but I wouldn't make it more than it is. It's
- 4:06Speaker 3: really just trying to get them ready to go play
- 4:07Speaker 3: a game.
- 4:10Speaker 4: John Boyle, Yeah, Mike.
- 4:13Speaker 6: On defense, I think they only scored six points on
- 4:17Speaker 6: drives that didn't start in your territory at the turnovers,
- 4:20Speaker 6: just what stood out when you look at how you
- 4:21Speaker 6: guys play defense.
- 4:22Speaker 4: In that game. Our guys, our guys are playing really hard.
- 4:27Speaker 3: I think our details and execution improved from week one
- 4:31Speaker 3: to week two, which is a positive trend something that
- 4:34Speaker 3: we could keep going. And I think the message to
- 4:37Speaker 3: our guys is, look, it's on tape.
- 4:39Speaker 4: You know. The standard of how we want to be is.
- 4:43Speaker 3: It's how we want to be and it's not negotiable,
- 4:45Speaker 3: and that's the expectation and how we need to play
- 4:47Speaker 3: moving forward. But the guys that determine, they understand that
- 4:51Speaker 3: there's plenty of room for growth and it's early, and
- 4:55Speaker 3: I think they also understand what it takes to play
- 4:57Speaker 3: great football, and that's the preparation you do in the offseason,
- 5:01Speaker 3: the connection you build with your teammates, you know, being
- 5:05Speaker 3: able to kind of live through some of the storms
- 5:07Speaker 3: you're going to get, whether it be through injuries or
- 5:10Speaker 3: things that happen in games, and play great situational football
- 5:13Speaker 3: when the time comes. So we understand the standard. We're
- 5:17Speaker 3: just we're trying to trying to make nail the process right.
- 5:19Speaker 7: Now, and just to follow up real quick Byron Murphy
- 5:23Speaker 7: statistically out a big game.
- 5:24Speaker 6: I know you guys have talked about how well he's
- 5:26Speaker 6: played in a lot of games where that didn't show up.
- 5:28Speaker 8: But what do you see?
- 5:29Speaker 7: This just allowed him to maybe flash a little bit
- 5:31Speaker 7: more through two games this year.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think we're looking at good process
- 5:36Speaker 3: going into good result.
- 5:38Speaker 4: So he's I mean, it's not like he.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Practiced harder this week, or he prepared any differently or
- 5:44Speaker 3: anything like that.
- 5:44Speaker 4: He's doing those things all the time.
- 5:47Speaker 3: When I was most fired up about him was like
- 5:50Speaker 3: to see how happy Jaron Reid is for his success,
- 5:53Speaker 3: to see how happy Leo is for him to finally
- 5:56Speaker 3: make plays, Because those guys are the ones that are
- 5:58Speaker 3: working with him playing next to them all the time.
- 6:00Speaker 3: So to see him have the production to back up
- 6:03Speaker 3: his work ethic, I thought, and have them be really
- 6:05Speaker 3: excited for him.
- 6:05Speaker 4: I thought was the coolest part. Mas Veta.
- 6:10Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, Mike, I wonder if you could talk about
- 6:12Speaker 9: the complimentary play of your tight ends in running, in
- 6:16Speaker 9: blocking and carrying the ball. I think there was a
- 6:19Speaker 9: play there one on one left in the first quarter.
- 6:22Speaker 9: Elijah Royd catches the ball in like seven yards down
- 6:25Speaker 9: the field. There's Aj Barny blocking for him, right. I mean,
- 6:27Speaker 9: just talk about the synergy and how they're.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Well, it's a close group. I think.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I think their coach Mack Brown, which is birthday today,
- 6:35Speaker 3: so shout out to Mac. Happy birthday. Don't ask Riquel
- 6:39Speaker 3: and how old he thinks Mac Brown is. That was
- 6:43Speaker 3: interesting today. But he's done a great job with his group.
- 6:46Speaker 3: I think, just like our team. I think you see
- 6:48Speaker 3: a connected group that play well together. There's a synergy there.
- 6:52Speaker 3: To your point when I'm proud of that. I don't
- 6:56Speaker 3: think you can pin a certain guy that only does
- 6:59Speaker 3: a certain thing, and so I think there's a there's
- 7:02Speaker 3: kind of a diverse skill set throughout the room where
- 7:08Speaker 3: guys can bring multiple things to the table and uh,
- 7:11Speaker 3: that's tough the game plan for and they're doing a
- 7:13Speaker 3: great job with Elijah bringing him along blocking in the
- 7:16Speaker 3: run game. This guy, he's uh, he's really improved in
- 7:19Speaker 3: that area and will continue to get better.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Thanks, Brady, can't hear you, Brady, it had to happen.
- 7:40Speaker 4: I don't hear We don't hear yet, Curtis, Why don't
- 7:45Speaker 4: you go? And then we'll circle back to Brady unless
- 7:49Speaker 4: he wants to write down his question.
- 7:52Speaker 8: Sure, mine was going to be And he talked about
- 7:55Speaker 8: Cooper's day a little bit last night after the game
- 7:57Speaker 8: and such. But what did you kind of see of
- 7:59Speaker 8: him kind of breaking out a little bit for you,
- 8:01Speaker 8: kind of looking a little bit like vintage Cooper Cup
- 8:03Speaker 8: and then what that brought to your offense and being
- 8:06Speaker 8: able to diversify the targets a little bit yesterday from
- 8:08Speaker 8: from week one.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't I don't see it as a breakout
- 8:12Speaker 4: or anything like that.
- 8:12Speaker 3: That's that's Cooper Cup. That's the stuff that he's been
- 8:15Speaker 3: doing all camp. Just didn't happen as frequently as we
- 8:19Speaker 3: would have liked against San Francisco in the first game,
- 8:22Speaker 3: and all the things, the precision, the run.
- 8:24Speaker 4: After the catch, what he provides in the run game.
- 8:29Speaker 3: All those things were coming to life and it was
- 8:31Speaker 3: great to see because we needed him in some of
- 8:32Speaker 3: those critical moments.
- 8:34Speaker 8: And what was the reaction like on tape when you
- 8:37Speaker 8: guys saw Robbietz's block wiping out the two linebackers on
- 8:40Speaker 8: Ken's run, It was great.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I mean, look our run game right now, when we're
- 8:46Speaker 3: on the same page and we're targeting it right and
- 8:50Speaker 3: all eleven are determined to finish the play the right
- 8:53Speaker 3: way and sustained blocks, we have an effective run game.
- 8:57Speaker 3: When we're missing parts of that equation, our run game
- 9:01Speaker 3: isn't where it needs to be. And I think that's
- 9:02Speaker 3: I think that's really clear on tape. I think it
- 9:05Speaker 3: should be a point of optimism for our guys to
- 9:08Speaker 3: understand there's a lot of room for growth and that
- 9:10Speaker 3: plays an example of when it comes together what can happen.
- 9:14Speaker 3: And my opinion, we probably should we should. We should
- 9:18Speaker 3: expect to score a touchdown on that play. You know,
- 9:20Speaker 3: we got to get the safety blocked. I think Ken
- 9:23Speaker 3: can make that guy miss and go score.
- 9:26Speaker 4: Brady, are you back?
- 9:33Speaker 3: Sorry, Bud, Sorry I don't hear you think you gotta
- 9:36Speaker 3: type it I'll read it, Greg bell.
- 9:41Speaker 7: Im.
- 9:42Speaker 8: The pressure rates you're getting without blitzing, what is that
- 9:44Speaker 8: allowing you to do the rest of the defense, rest
- 9:46Speaker 8: of your past defense.
- 9:47Speaker 3: When you can do that, it's interesting, I think, Uh,
- 9:51Speaker 3: I think we take pride in being able to create
- 9:53Speaker 3: pressure multiple ways.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Uh this game.
- 9:57Speaker 3: For several reasons, we felt like not pressuring was the
- 10:01Speaker 3: best thing to do to try to win us the game.
- 10:03Speaker 4: Personally.
- 10:04Speaker 3: A lot of it was doing was to do is
- 10:05Speaker 3: how how well our front was rushing and some of
- 10:08Speaker 3: the coverage that we felt like we needed to play
- 10:11Speaker 3: to limit explosives, and just what we felt like was
- 10:14Speaker 3: gonna help us, you know, going into the game. But
- 10:19Speaker 3: we want to be able to do it multiple ways.
- 10:21Speaker 3: You know, take pride and being able to pressure from
- 10:24Speaker 3: off the ball at all different positions. But I think
- 10:27Speaker 3: probably the cleanest answer is just how well the guys
- 10:30Speaker 3: are playing up front.
- 10:32Speaker 8: And then what was it about Kendrick that you were
- 10:34Speaker 8: picking up that he was getting about the schemes to
- 10:36Speaker 8: give him two thirds of the game at Nickel what
- 10:40Speaker 8: two weeks after he got here.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I'm not the guy that's meeting with him
- 10:45Speaker 3: behind closed doors at extra time, taking him through all
- 10:48Speaker 3: the nuances of what he needs to know. That that's
- 10:50Speaker 3: you know, that's Nico Thorpe, that's Carl Scott h that's
- 10:55Speaker 3: Jeff Howard. You know, those guys are the ones that
- 10:58Speaker 3: really put in the extra time to get get it taught.
- 11:00Speaker 3: And it wasn't like we just put them in there
- 11:04Speaker 3: on Wednesday and it was all figured out. This is
- 11:06Speaker 3: a process that had to go all the way up
- 11:08Speaker 3: till game time and throughout the game to make sure
- 11:10Speaker 3: that we were clear. You know, you're always going to
- 11:14Speaker 3: tailor your game plan to your personnel, what you feel
- 11:16Speaker 3: like they can do and what they can do well.
- 11:17Speaker 3: I think that was an example of it as well.
- 11:19Speaker 3: But to come in and attack it like you did,
- 11:21Speaker 3: and really the effort is probably like you know, the
- 11:26Speaker 3: competitiveness is what I was most pleased with with his
- 11:29Speaker 3: play was not backing down placed with the echo of
- 11:33Speaker 3: the whistle. All those things are our trademarks of our
- 11:36Speaker 3: what we want to be trademarks of our defense.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Michael Sean, it might.
- 11:45Speaker 7: Uh specifically looking at Byron Leo and Jay Reid, what
- 11:50Speaker 7: have you liked about the way they bought into the
- 11:52Speaker 7: selflessness nature of their position? You know, double teams stuff
- 11:55Speaker 7: like that, but also the way then took an advantage
- 11:58Speaker 7: of when the play is for them, so to speak,
- 12:00Speaker 7: you know, the one on ones that they've they've gotten
- 12:01Speaker 7: in one whether in the run game or rushing the passer.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great point.
- 12:06Speaker 3: Uh, it's a it's a selfless position a lot of times,
- 12:12Speaker 3: especially in the run game. I think, I think, what
- 12:16Speaker 3: when I'm when, I'm proud of how they operate. And
- 12:18Speaker 3: what's really cool is the connection. I mean I put uh,
- 12:21Speaker 3: I put our outside backers in the same you know,
- 12:23Speaker 3: the edge guys in the same conversation of understanding how
- 12:26Speaker 3: the rush works together.
- 12:28Speaker 4: And you can't have guys just doing one off rushes.
- 12:31Speaker 3: It's just not a it's not the right way to live, uh,
- 12:34Speaker 3: rushing the passer, and so they I think there's an
- 12:36Speaker 3: understanding there.
- 12:36Speaker 4: DeMarcus has been a great.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Uh asset on that front, helping the guys kind of
- 12:41Speaker 3: understand how they want to rush together again A d
- 12:44Speaker 3: hinz CP. The way they organize it, you know, the atmosphere,
- 12:47Speaker 3: the culture that they've they've built in that room, I
- 12:50Speaker 3: think is probably the driving force behind your question.
- 12:54Speaker 4: And in the run game as well.
- 12:56Speaker 3: When you know when you can take chances, when you
- 12:58Speaker 3: can play blocks a certain way. I think, I think
- 13:00Speaker 3: when you give your players and like when you when
- 13:05Speaker 3: you feel like you're giving them a certain level of
- 13:08Speaker 3: I don't know, autonomy or like freedom within the scheme
- 13:13Speaker 3: to play things a certain way. When they see it,
- 13:14Speaker 3: when guys are experienced of the way they are, I
- 13:16Speaker 3: think they appreciate that. So you're not just an X
- 13:19Speaker 3: on a page. You're letting your job and your skill
- 13:21Speaker 3: set come to life.
- 13:23Speaker 7: And if I could sneak in an injury one or
- 13:25Speaker 7: two for real quick one? What's actually wrong with Spoon's me?
- 13:31Speaker 7: And is d Hall okay?
- 13:33Speaker 3: From what I understand, Spoon has a m c L
- 13:37Speaker 3: bruise or contusion. Now that's that's the latest on him.
- 13:45Speaker 4: D Haul.
- 13:45Speaker 3: From from what I understand, he's he just got nicked
- 13:49Speaker 3: up right there at the end. And uh, I think
- 13:52Speaker 3: he's okay, Like I don't know exactly what's going on
- 13:54Speaker 3: with them.
- 13:55Speaker 4: Thank you, Brian.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'll read Brady's question real quick and then
- 14:03Speaker 2: I'll get to mind if that's okay. He so, sorry
- 14:05Speaker 2: for the technical difficulties. What have you thought if your
- 14:07Speaker 2: backfield rotation with Walker and Sharbonne, and have you had
- 14:10Speaker 2: to limit Walker's workload at all because of his foot.
- 14:15Speaker 4: I'm pleased with how we're rotating the guys. I think.
- 14:20Speaker 3: It's hard to it's hard to it's hard to project
- 14:22Speaker 3: like how the games are going to play out. I
- 14:24Speaker 3: think we're going into games with a certain plan and
- 14:26Speaker 3: then you got to let the plan of the day
- 14:28Speaker 3: kind of dictate to itself. But also we're playing the
- 14:30Speaker 3: long game as well. Uh, it's kind of like coaches
- 14:33Speaker 3: in personnel, like coaches want guys for this year and
- 14:35Speaker 3: then person you know, it's the organization's job to ensure
- 14:38Speaker 3: like the future of the team as well. You know,
- 14:40Speaker 3: it's we're playing the long game. We're also trying to
- 14:42Speaker 3: win games and being most directive we can possibly be.
- 14:44Speaker 3: So it's a I think it's a it's a balance.
- 14:47Speaker 3: I think we're we're hitting right now. We've got to
- 14:49Speaker 3: keep going. Yeah, I mean, look, with both the guys,
- 14:55Speaker 3: we want them to go.
- 14:56Speaker 4: The whole year.
- 14:56Speaker 3: We need we need both backs to be effective great
- 14:59Speaker 3: backs for and I think they both are playing at
- 15:01Speaker 3: a high level. With with Zach's game, I mean, I
- 15:04Speaker 3: know the productivity wasn't what he expects, but frankly, there
- 15:08Speaker 3: just wasn't a lot of opportunities for him. You know,
- 15:11Speaker 3: I think the opportunities were there for Ken, and Ken
- 15:13Speaker 3: had a great game.
- 15:13Speaker 4: I'm happy for him. But Sharps played a good football game.
- 15:17Speaker 3: He played a really good football game, helped us win,
- 15:19Speaker 3: played winning football.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Just the yards weren't there yesterday.
- 15:24Speaker 2: All right. My question, so, knowing that players, games, et
- 15:28Speaker 2: cetera change from week to week, how do you separate
- 15:31Speaker 2: out your team's execution and progress there versus other variables, like,
- 15:35Speaker 2: for example, you go against a four three front to
- 15:37Speaker 2: a three four front. How do you know, you know,
- 15:39Speaker 2: how do you separate those things out?
- 15:41Speaker 3: Well, it's it's it's part of the equation. You know,
- 15:44Speaker 3: when you're going against an unscouted look or something that
- 15:46Speaker 3: you wouldn't have expected, which that happens every week in
- 15:48Speaker 3: the NFL. You know, they're allowed to game plan two
- 15:51Speaker 3: and you know they're allowed to call whatever they want
- 15:54Speaker 3: to call. That's you know, that's part of the rules.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So that that's going to be part of your factor
- 15:58Speaker 3: of Hey, you know, what's what's your rule in the situation,
- 16:01Speaker 3: what's the expectation on what you're trying to get done
- 16:03Speaker 3: in that particular play. We take a lot of pride
- 16:06Speaker 3: in trying to put our guys in consistent advantageous positions
- 16:10Speaker 3: so they can execute at a higher level. Yeah, as
- 16:14Speaker 3: a coach, like, look, I don't know, I take it
- 16:16Speaker 3: personally when I ask a guy to do something that
- 16:20Speaker 3: is not exactly where he feels like he should be
- 16:22Speaker 3: in an advanced when I feel like he's in an
- 16:24Speaker 3: advantageous situation. So, but that's that's how I think about it.
- 16:29Speaker 3: And then ultimately, effort and how you play in our
- 16:32Speaker 3: style that's non negotiable. That's that won't change based on
- 16:35Speaker 3: what the other team's doing.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Okay, quick follow up, how do you go about grading
- 16:40Speaker 2: or assessing coaching performances week week to week?
- 16:44Speaker 3: I think you got to look at process, just what
- 16:46Speaker 3: are the things that we're doing in a game plan mode,
- 16:50Speaker 3: what we're thinking about throughout the week, We're thinking about
- 16:53Speaker 3: the right things, We're trying to have answers to the
- 16:55Speaker 3: right problems. And then as the game unfolds, you know,
- 16:59Speaker 3: how are we identifying what they're doing?
- 17:01Speaker 4: And then uh, you know the solutions that were coming
- 17:04Speaker 4: up with in his.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Position, coaches is how well your guys play is very
- 17:07Speaker 3: indicative of you know, unfortunately that's what that's the way
- 17:11Speaker 3: it is. You know, great coaches get great players to
- 17:14Speaker 3: play great Thanks.
- 17:18Speaker 4: Last question, Curtis.
- 17:21Speaker 8: Yeah, Mike, I know you said you're pretty clean injury
- 17:23Speaker 8: wise coming out last night. That's still the case todate
- 17:25Speaker 8: and the kind of show up overnight for you.
- 17:27Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I don't have a full update and we
- 17:30Speaker 3: had some guys some things pop up this morning, so uh,
- 17:34Speaker 3: probably have some more info for you on Wednesday or
- 17:36Speaker 3: Thursday as the week plays out. But wasn't as clean
- 17:39Speaker 3: as as we initially anticipated.
- 17:41Speaker 8: Sure, And and what's the out look for Devin and
- 17:44Speaker 8: Nick this week?
- 17:46Speaker 4: Uh?
- 17:47Speaker 3: Nothing changed if you heard this morn, nothing has changed
- 17:49Speaker 3: from this morning. I would say we're optimistic.
- 17:52Speaker 4: Uh.
- 17:54Speaker 3: You know, look, at anytime you're talking about possibly going
- 17:57Speaker 3: in a game without practicing, that's the dangerous game to play,
- 18:00Speaker 3: not when we want to play consistently. I think with
- 18:02Speaker 3: Spoon he's probably a guy that we'd be more inclined
- 18:05Speaker 3: to do that with, and probably not so much with Nick.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Nick probably needs more reps in Spoon right now. But
- 18:11Speaker 3: we'll see, you know, we'll see how it goes on
- 18:13Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday.
- 18:13Speaker 8: With those two and last thing is what's your thoughts
- 18:16Speaker 8: on Sam after watching his game back in the two
- 18:19Speaker 8: weeks he's put on tape for you guys so far.
- 18:22Speaker 4: I think Sam's playing great football right now.
- 18:24Speaker 3: He tough, his nails, unflappable, had a bad throw on
- 18:29Speaker 3: the interception, and Ran Ramsey made a great play as well.
- 18:33Speaker 4: But other than that, I mean, this guy's playing decisive.
- 18:36Speaker 3: The play made on third down there on the second
- 18:38Speaker 3: drive of the fourth quarter against that linebacker pressure they had,
- 18:43Speaker 3: I thought was just it was just vintage Sam Darnold,
- 18:46Speaker 3: just you know, playing off schedule, making a play finding
- 18:49Speaker 3: aj and then coming back and throwing the explosive to
- 18:53Speaker 3: the Jacks, which was another phenomenal play. So I think
- 18:56Speaker 3: he's playing great football right now.
- 18:58Speaker 4: All right, thank you everyone. Now are you waking
