Clint Hurtt: "We're All In It Together" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Has everybody doing all right, you.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Went back and you've looked at what happened on Thursday night.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: There were some good guys and then there were some lapses.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Well what one would trigger some of those.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Lapses to I'm just doing the small things, you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the small things. Got to take care of the details
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: in your work, whether it's setting edges in the run game, Uh,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: stand down on the backside of those runs, and things
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of that nature. Uh, handling the over routes and the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: crossing the routes. There's things that are everyday normal stuff
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: that we gotta continue to play those things correctly and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: consistently and coach them at that way too. The last
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: two teams you face, so there's a lot of eye
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: can't even glonging This offense is Dallas is a top offense?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: What is that? Are a little that more mean straightforward?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And how they play? Yeah, I mean they're definitely very dangerous.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: They present a lot of issues because of their talent
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and they execute at a high level. Uh, but definitely
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: there's you know, San Francisco presents challenges with emotions and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: things of that nature. So they're different to how they
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: go about doing it.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But both of them ops are very very operating at
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a very high level. What is the data found? Kind
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of Obviously the quarterback is playing at a high level.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Say have to find ways to be able to disrupt him.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Explosive players all over the place, obviously with CD and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Gallup and coaches obviously always been a guy that could
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: take the top off the defense. And Holler is the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: explosive back. Even a tight end Ferguson is a good player.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So they definitely deserve their challenges. We continue to practice
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and prepare and get ready for this matchup.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: When it comes to run.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Faces, the discipline in State, it's the discipline. It's the discipline,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: like the things that happened that got us in that game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just a defensive ends thaing down, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: not jumping up the field, worried about playing for play
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: action passes and boots. You know, those are things. There's discipline.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: How you teach the techniques and you can respond to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: those plays. But the number one thing is you gotta
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have the discipline to honor the run game. Take care
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of that and then the other things will take care
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: of later on. But once you give up one that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: like explosive early in the game. Then they feel like
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: they got something and they stay with it. So it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the discipline of doing right. It wasn't a fit where
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a guy didn't know it was fit or misdefit, just
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the discipline of staying down and doing right. So when
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the ball cuts back, you're there to make the play.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You see you specific flying size climmers influence on what
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they're doing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: There, or a little bit of you know, some of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the stuff like the RPOs and things like that they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: add into it. I know Shoty really liked that stuff here,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you know. But there's a lot of Coach McCarthy, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: looking at old Green Bay film from when he was there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, there's a lot of carry over to that. What's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the seat you're point for the touchdown? You know, the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that one right there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Rush can help out with a lot of those, uh
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: particular issues, and obviously we just need the post safety
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: should be over there to be able to help him out.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: The c you know, the nickel in that situation is
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not on his own anytime you're in his own cup.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: If you have guys that are running, you to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: able to help out. So, uh, a lot of facets
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously pass rush, you know, post safety, all
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: those things are all a factor in that play, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: pass breakdown. So that was a outstanding football play. Absolutely,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: that was a heck of a play. So just like
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I said, like any time like when bad, uh, bad
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: play happens, it's never one necessar one guy that's a culprit.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of different things. Even you know, we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: always say like whether it's coaches, players, we're all in
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it together.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: We gotta coach something better.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously we gotta play better, but we're all
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in it together to get that done.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So overall where.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Jordan Brooks, yeah, just I mean obviously just his awareness
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and feel for the game and when certain things are coming.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: A play may get you here there, but the growth
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that you look for in a op you know and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: experienced players he's played as a lot of football that he
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: has is you know, are you cutting down on those
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: plays because the awareness of seeing it you're gonna get
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: got sometimes it's gonna happen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But just consistently seeing stuff and pointing out pre snappers
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a partner's game, he's expanding the guy a lot better
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: at the the way.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He got after the defense on the sideline and they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: gave the first quarter do that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell when he's uh pissed and he does.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: He doesn't in practice. But I think that's a good thing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a good thing with things aren't going right. Uh,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it should be addressed, you know, and everybody has a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: hand in and part of it so that there's nothing
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: wrong with that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you see second the fourth quarters back? Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's just they Uh.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I would say that in these last the last few games, say,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: like the Washington game, the Rams game, you do it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: We played our you know, played our butt off for
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the first three quarters, and then the fourth quarter we
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: give us some plays and have some lapses of where
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: things you want to have consistency, uh to doing it right,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and it kind of leaves a bad taste in your
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: mouth of how you finish the game.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Cause I believe it was.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Like the Rams game, the first three quarters they had
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: like one hundred and twenty three yards of offense.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But then it's the same thing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Washington att like two thirty going into the fourth quarter,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and they got about one hundred off of two goofy plays.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of good things going in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Finishes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So the biggest thing is just do right long as
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we always preach, don't try to make stuff up, don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you know, go out there and do something crazy. You've
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: been playing good, consistent balls, say the course, and we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: finished the game the right way, you feel a lot
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: different about the final result or the outcome of the game.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So I think that's just part of the growth in them,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you know, maturation process with certain in certain aspects. Oh
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: where I mean anytime I mean the guy's a he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a really really good football player. So I mean, anytime
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you lose a guy like that, uh, you definitely feel it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of good players that we still
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have playing for us too. You know, the whole defense
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: is not based around one individual. So yes, it obviously
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: hurts to lose a guy of that caliber. Uh, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: other guys gotta step up and be ready to play too.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: How another past mentions it's been a struggle. You know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: things start changing.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: You start off hot and pass rush teams acclimating the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: adjust to what you're doing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, the pass rush was rolling.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We were a top you know, three or four team
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in the league in sacks and pressures and getting after people. Well,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: what starts happening is, you know, teams will all the options.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You change the snap counts, you move the pocket, you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: work more play actions, you get chips with the tight
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: ends and the backs and the wide receivers and all
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: those things come in. You know, the guys have to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: understand in the beginning of stand it. It's a sign
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of respect when that stuff happens, because they respect what
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you're able to do. Now you have to respond to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: We got to coach and put those guys in a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: position to have answers for when those things are happening.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But it's an adjustment because it can be really really frustrating, uh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for a young player. You know, Frank has been a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: great guy to help those guys through that because they
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: when Frank got chips early in his career, it frustrated
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the head out of him.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of times if a.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You know, you gotta give a guy playing, but it
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: can neutralize a really good pass rusher when that stuff happens.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: But he grew through it and he got a lot better,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and he learned how to work with the guys around him,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: de tackles around him to have answers for that That's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: why he and Jam paired together.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Really really well.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So that's something that the guys as a as a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: whole have to continue to improve at and we gotta
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: help them. You let's especially defensive backs gets spars.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: There's times that the patterns can come from him to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: be inside, sometimes it's outside. A lot of that stuff
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: will vary based on the game plan protection wise and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the things they like to do that could cause us
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: some issues.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So they the patterns changed weekly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: They can always adjust, you know, just being a football player.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You know, if they happen to end up sliding the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: protection into a blitzer, we never want a guy to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: quote with the term I use is don't run into
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a park car. You know, you can adjust and all
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to your pass so that way you can find the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: lane the creaks to go and find the quarterback. That's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: what uh Spoon did. I think it was the second player,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the first, first or second player of the game against
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the Rams. They slid the protection into it. He found
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: his lane to go insert himself and he wanted to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: go make a play.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Now you're gonna use my life against me?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the uh in some of the the blitz
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: patters and things like that. Yes, you try to set
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: your fronts and show things to get directions, to get
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: protections directed the way you want to. It doesn't always
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: happen that way.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So you gotta give guys the freedom to be able
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: to adjust accordingly so they can find ways to get home.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So so they gotta continue working those, uh, aspects of
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: our game. The biggest thing he provides is guy a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: guy that can collapse the pocket, you know, and get
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the quarterback off the spot and get him on the move.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So obviously, just working that that part of it. Keep
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: working on the transitions and get him on the same
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: page with working D line games with the defensive ends
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: is a big piece of that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: To get to get better at anything else, Sat Greek.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Uh, he had to talk to coaching the trainers about that. Okay,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: thank you, Okay, all right now,
