Julian Love: "I'm Really Excited" To Play In Front Of The 12s · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The plays right there. What's the preseason like for you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: when you don't really play a whole lot in the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: games and all that, You know, I try to just
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: focus on my pregame routine, especially being in a new place,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: new atmosphere. Uh. For these games, it's really important I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: just lock into the routine of this team well, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I act like I'm playing the game every game, and
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: so up until kickoff, I'm getting in my complete mindset
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: for the game day. That's how you have to approach it,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: so by week one you're ready. Julian, what do you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: find about Kobe against private safety and trying to egastulate
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the game the other night? But except all that stuff's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: coming at him and kind of similar way he has. Yeah,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you know, with Kobe situation, I can relate. I've been
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in that exact situation. Uh. And so I think he's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: done a great job. I think he's just a natural
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: football player. He's a natural defensive back, and so wherever
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: they line him up, he's gonna compete. And it just
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: took him a week to maybe get kind of the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: nuance of the down. Uh. And yeah, you see him
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: now competing and just playing with his swagger and energy.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think this will only help his game. Having that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you know, outside corner, that Nickel, that safety mindset, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: can understand how the whole defensive backfield works. And it's
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just gonna make him rise. Man, He's just he's a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: special player in a five years that multiple defensive Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, probably like ten years ago, really Nickel was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: paramount in the league, and so you gotta have DB's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: on the field. And now some teams are trying to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: scheme it up by having big bodies in might be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: twelve personnel in an eleven personnel set, and so you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: three safeties is now become in common and you just
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: have to keep switching it up. I think when teams
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that are multiple are successful on defense, you gotta have
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: guys do multiple roles, playing multiple things. Uh. And yeah,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that's hopefully what we're trying to accomplish. What are you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: looking to get? I assume you're gonna play a little
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: bit probably this wait did to get some preseason work
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: under your guys at the starters to like a little
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: bit together. I'm excited. I mean, first time playing for
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the home crowd at Lumen uh and so yeah, I'm
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: pumped up. As the Cowboys, I'm familiar to them as
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a team, uh, coming from the NFC East, But I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: really excited. Oh man, Bobby get up here. Man, you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: guys want Bobby right man. You know, Case Scott's one
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of the best I've been around, uh, you know, defensive
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: back coach. He just he gets it. You know, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: have a lot of veteran leadership in the in the secondary,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and so he's understanding of everybody's mindset. What Caandre says,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: what Jamal says. It's important because they have experience, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he appreciates that. And not every coach does that. Every coach,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you know, not every coach accepts player mind uh sets.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He you know, they could implement their own style, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: so he does that, and uh, yeah, I appreciated him.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I really didn't figure out that all the first that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he loved with when he met me. We we went
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: out to dinner when I took my visit out here,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and yeah, he said, listen, I'm a feed off few
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: same way your feed off me. And so yeah, from
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the from the jump, that's how he was and that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: how he's been out here. I've gotting off being a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: question for Yeah, who's the best trash talker on this team.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Who's the best trash talker on this team? Probably Quandre Diggs,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that guy. I have to stay away from him sometimes
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: because he just makes me an angry person. Uh, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty lighthearted. I told him, I'm like, man, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: gotta I gotta ease away from you. You are always
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: roasting somebody. I mean, you guys are all the time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You could be you could be walking in wearing a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hat and he's like, in some expletives, that's a goofy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: hat you're wearing. Basically, Uh, he's just a guy who
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is always That's how you know he's just having fun.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Is by he's trying to cook everybody in the building.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: No one's safe. You're not safe. The staff's not safe. Uh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And yeah, especially me, his coworker. Uh. No, I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: think he talks so much on the field. On the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: field trash talking, I don't know yet. Uh. When I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: played the Seahawks last year, no one was really talking.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody was kind of about their business. But everyone has
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that kind of chip on their shoulder swag and energy,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and so everyone kind of has their own style. Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: The smallest guy in the team's calling everybody little man.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's ironic, right, what's the best ground of golf?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You shot around here? The best round of golf? I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: shot around here? I don't. I'm not proud to say
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a number. Uh I broke an idea, you know, a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: handful of times. That's kind of where I'm at. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: played like a low nineties golf. Whoever it is doesn't matter,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: right The Seahawks are gonna win it exactly right now.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: When we played the Seahawks, when the Giants played the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawks last year, Gino was on a tear that was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: everything was on the rise for the Hawks. And yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he was playing out of his mind. I mean he was.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: His completion rate was high, he was making smart decisions.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It was tough to beat him. And he's playing that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at a higher level right now. You know, he's a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: he's a competitor. He has some swagging energy, and you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: know he's he's a confident with that ball in his hand.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think his game has only risen.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not afraid to make any throw. You know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he's throwing the deep. He doesn't matter. He's giving guys
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: opportunities to make plays. And he's pushing himself forward, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so you know, Gina's gonna be special for us this year.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Thank yeah, I appreciate you guys,
