Pete Carroll: "We Can Have A Great Finish" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it's good to be coming off a couple of
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: days here that we got a break. I'm feeling the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: fresh legs myself, so I'm sure the players are too.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We gotta take advantage of that and uh make sure
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that this preparation is really right on point.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I know you ask me. We just played these guys
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: a couple weeks ago.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I did not feel like I did a good job
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in the preparation in the short week with our team.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And uh, last week was a really good week, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we need to come back and and get a really
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: good week again here so that we're right to play.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We can we can do the things we wanna do.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So that's that's a main focus for me, and uh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I know our guys are are looking forward to this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: The thing you mentioned about the younger guys maybe not
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: being as like ready for that game, was was that
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: evident before the game or once you saw the game?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel it until we got out there. You know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: until we got close. There's some signs of some stuff.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, the first time you go through a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: really short week for young guys, uh y, you know
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you're giving them a break and you you're trying to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: help them out physically so that they don't the game
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: before doesn't factor into that that Thursday night game and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and uh so we make some some concessions and uh
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that means that you back off some and not everybody
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: handles that well. And I didn't, you know, I anticipated
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that we would get the similar response that we've gotten
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: over the years, and we didn't get it. And so, uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it was just my bad, my made mistake there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Bobby, Bobby wa Ignoor's name Man the y or the
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: nominee for a Man Year for your team.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's a good choice me. You've been around him for
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: more than a decade.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Just what what have you seen him mean to the organization,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the community, just everything he's been about.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: He's he's done everything that a guy could do for
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I would think for the criteria of this award.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's been everything.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He's a fantastic person, he's a terrific family guy. He's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: got everything going forward for him football wise. He's done
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: everything he can do forever and he's doing it again.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And also recognized. The players know, they know who he is,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they know where he's coming from, and he has an
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: impact on them in numerous ways, and and uh he's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: doing everything he can. And so I don't know if
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that's enough for that criteria for the award, but uh,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he's a great candidate.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit of a scheduling court. Did you
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: play the night Ers so close together? Is there a
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: benefit in film study or just being so aware of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: tackling needed against Macapriy, or or any benefit to how that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, they they have the same benefit that we have,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and and that so there's nobody has an edge.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But in you know, introducing the new team this week,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a different introduction because he just played
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: him and we just went through all of that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: We have a great deal of.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Information already logged and so uh both teams you know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: are competing to figure that out how to use that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: right and so we'll, you know, we have our way
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of going about it, and I'm hoping that we'll uh
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the f the preparation uh can really go towards what
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: we're doing. And I have to be so concerned about
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: learning the other team and all that kind of stuff.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll try to take advantage of that, Lita that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you guys were able to do offensively, do you beyond
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the school back points?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: The whole carries into Sunday like off excuse me against.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Gap, Yeah, there was there's a lot of positives, uh
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I in the game and and and and uh our
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ability to convert on third down you could see look
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a look at the difference in the game. And it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was a fantastic start. I think we were nine for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the first eleven, which is you know, great stuff and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: allowed us to have long drive, sustaining uh opportunities with
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the ball, all of those things. So and that, uh,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that's a real positive force. We we you know, we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: set our sights on on you know, producing a really
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: good outing that that last week, and it showed up
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and everything that we tried to get done basically got done.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And so you know it was one forty three left
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and and uh down by a touchdown and you gotta go.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, it came right down to that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And uh, just like we did in the first half,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I we expected to do that in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: second half as well, and then we got stalled at
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: third and two, you know, and and fourth and two
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately, but uh, the mu it was a fantastic
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: game in a lot of ways, and a lot of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: respect to them. They're a really good team, and uh
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we want nose and those in a good way.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I I I would say this that we'll I I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: gonna say I allowed it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And and the officiating was part of that game, and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it made a big difference in the game, and it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: went both sides, both sides. There was a lot of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: calls and a lot of things that you know that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you look at and I need to make sure that
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that isn't the factor in the game. We don't need
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that to be the factor. We got to clean our
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: stuff up so that isn't the issue where calls can
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be made. You know that they can change the game,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because defensively, the game gets marred a little bit. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: mean because of the first downs that were made, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: by penalty and.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Stuff and and uh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We were playing better than that and and we should
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: have been able to receive that the rewards of that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we gave them too much.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And so, uh so there's stuff to be done.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: How do you I in what way do you do that?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: A al A bunch of ways.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There's a n with individual guys and and uh by
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: situations and all that that would try to be you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a step a a step ahead, uh, you know, anticipating
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: when they don't move the football when you ask, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: when they supposed to move to the football.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I could've done better with that time frame that was
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in there. You know, I can do better.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm arguing about the movement of the placement of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the ball, you know, and on the field, got opportunity
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and and uh I lost to you know, loss of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: time there. I didn't lose it. I just didn't take
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: advantage of it properly.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And so stuff like that. You know, we can we
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: can all do better. How was uh, how's age Lucas?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Do you look?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He felt he felt pretty good. I just talked to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: him about it. He felt pretty good about it, kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of as expected. A little sore, but the the break
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was perfect for him, you know, to get a couple
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of days and so he's he's ready to go.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: In fact, did having him back up on the office.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: He looked good. He he he played strong football and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: did a nice job. He's rusty and some stuff and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and uh, totally understandably, but it's good to have him
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: back it j It felt good to have him out there.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Pushing the piles and knocking people around and and uh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he'll just it get better.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know, he just needed to play time.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Where do you feel like the defenses right now? I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: mean October you had some really good statistical stretches.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's maybe cause get numbers why it's the last few games,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but you feel like that's indicative of.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Where you are.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, w we have to be better because
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, we we gave up way too many points
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks and in particular and and uh,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: but again we we made enough plays like in this
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: past game to play uh a nice football game if
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we didn't give 'em first downs, you know. And so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we have to we have to see if we can't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: get right back. And we're matching up with really really
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: powerful uh offensives. You know, we we kind of went
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: toe to toe with Dallas last week. Didn't get that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: done uh the week before. And so I I I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: think we're we're rounding into it. I think we can
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: have a great finish. We have a this is the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the season is now on, and we'll
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: see how we do and see if we can get a.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Great push in a number of ways.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: This break gave us a little time to do little
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: mini by kind of stuff, and in research and stuff,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: we thinks we found a couple things we wanna try
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to emphasize, and so we'll we'll, Uh, we're encouraged by
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the fact.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That we can. We think we can hang and we
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: can do a nice job with our d some of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the how is.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: It some of the stuf like are you guys able
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to do stuff in one games like God later in
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: other games getting called for illegal content or a BPI?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Are you giving y yes, it's a yeah, it's some
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in the in certain games, crews were more sensitive to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: stuff than others, you know. And uh, Dallas in particular,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: as an offense, had had drawn the most pass coverage
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: penalties and they did it again.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: You know that that's we knew it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: We went into it knowing that and and uh what
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason that happens.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's an unusual stat but uh, you know that was
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the case.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And then that that stayed true and we didn't we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: weren't able to return it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Turn that even though we knew it was, it could.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Happen, you know, So you know, I don't know, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know who else knew that but it was a factor.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: What did you make of the tackling in that game.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Well, there was some incredible open field tackles in the game,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: some some of our best of the season. And uh
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there with guys on swing routes and tons of field
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and all kinds of space and.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: All of that. I thought that was that stood out.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: There's still some numbers, uh of tackles that we can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: make better. We were taking shots, we were very aggressive and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it and uh we went for on some plays which
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we encourage guys to go for it and count on
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the pursuit to make the play, which happened a number
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of times and and uh so, but it's a it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a point of emphasis and it's a point of emphasis
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: again this week because this team is such a a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a great you know, catch and run team, so we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: gotta keep getting better.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Well, what's the teaching point with Daryl Taylor on the group.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Sack where well, he he he just has to finish it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: He thought the play was over, and that's that's we
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: can't get to that point.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You gotta make sure the play is over, you know.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And he he thought he had the guy and thought
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it was done and he and relaxed for a moment.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You know, some real intricacies about that whole situation that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: that was he in the grass busy, not in the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: grass where they canna ptect the quarterback or they or not,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know that those kinds of things. But he needs
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to finish the to finish the tackle and get together
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the ground.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Samuel, he's certainly versatile. What's the challenge of just identifying
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: where he's lined up on the field.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: We know them well enough. It's not a challenge. It's
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: just it's just getting him on the ground, you know.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he he does stuff from his different spots.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Uh They they trust him, believe in him, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to carry the ball as a running back, as well
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: as all of the perimeter stuff that they like to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: do with him to to where you they put you
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in positions of open field tackling the opportunities that he's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: he's really good at. And uh So it's that's it's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not the challenge. It's getting him on the ground. He's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: really the challenge. It's not knowing where he is.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: What's the Kenneth Walker and Jordan Brooks and he.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The keetting around around pretty good and walk through Yeah,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: it was exciting to see him out there moving around.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He was flying around. We gotta make sure we get
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: him through the week and see what happens.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: We don't know. We don't know. Jordan can't do anything yet.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: What is it, Zach Jordan?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: What does this mean?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He was out there moving around today, so that's a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: really good sign. Again, he had a bruise knee. You know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: he did not have a knee injury, and so it's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable. Uh, and and it's gonna hurt like crazy
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: if he lands on it again, you know, during this
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: week of preparation at all. But uh, by the end
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of the week you should have a chance to be
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Do you have anywhere clarity on the type of st
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: brain it is for Jordan and the severity.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Uh it's a medial spring now that's the the easiest
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: way to just say it's a medial sprain.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So it's not a high nkole spring.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Dk mentioned uh that he's been taking sign language classes
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: and he said he can kind of use that to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: express himself on the field.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe with that getting the flag.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: So what what are kind of your thoughts on. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: guess the fact that he's gonna doing that, taking those
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: classes and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Using the story, I think it demonstrates a you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a divers way of communicating and and looking at the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: world and and uh knowing how you know how everybody
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is so prone to be captured, you know in your
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: what what you express?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Now it's a new way, and uh, I think it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: very innovative.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And until people start studying up and then w what
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the heck he's saying?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: He he's gonna be okay, and so he's got some
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: grace period in here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I think, think d who can and uh? Vo canan
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Zac practiced to?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I don't uh n, I We'll have to wait. See,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: let's wait to see what happens after practice. I guess see,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: h what happened on the way through. Uh, I'm not
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: sure about that yet.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Of all the things in niners Field, what's the most
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: difficult aspect of the fransure them?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I it is there.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It is there, Uh, getting the ball in the guy's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: hands that can really makes things happen.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: You know, they they really good at doing it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You know, k Cow does a great job with McCaffrey
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in all ways and in the multiplicity of it. They
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: really have identified his talents and they're using him to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the max. Same with Debo, and I think the same
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: with George. I th they you know, and I uk
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: also you know, they use their people really well. And uh,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I think that they they maximize the the the potential
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of their guys in in a really consistent way. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: think it's very impressive that they've been able to do that.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: The pre stat motion is that almost a distraction at
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: times rather than indic indicative of the.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Play that's about to come, a distraction to the offense
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of the defense. That's the whole idea. Yeah, they're they're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: trying to give you the l L the least amount
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of time possible to cite where they're coming from.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: And uh, you know, the the league is really blown.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Up, I with with the the fast motions that that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: occur in the last four or five years, you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And and it does give you the limited amount of time,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the most limited amount of time to identify what's happened
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and what's coming. And so it it's just to try
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to slow you down, you know, try to keep you
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: from being at an edge. You just line up and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you're standing in the same spot at least you know
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that and that that's that's old style and it's not
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: happening much anymore. Is the coaching point to just hold
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: your ground and wait till the play begins. No, no,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it's not quite that easy. We Yeah, you have to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be aware of the influence of the the change of
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of the formation because it can change where you fit
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and where you fit with other guys. So you have
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to be able to adapt. Part of it is not
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: over over adjusting. You know, you move too fast, too far.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That's that's one of the issues. But that's just one
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of them. It's a it's a really good part of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the game. It's a you know, it's a dynamic part
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of offensive football that's just continues to be expanded. And uh,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: these guys are these guys happen to be really good
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: at it. We are too. We do a lot of stuff,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and make it hard on our opponents. The
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: whole idea is to slow down or or lesson the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: time of evaluation and and also that the lessons of
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the time to communicate, you know, or somebody that's gotta
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: tell the other gay you know, I you know, I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just got bumped, you know, and sometimes there's not enough
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: time for that, a little use of your.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Backs, you just start playing at the Dallas deeper into
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the game or where there like there. Uh was that
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: a product of running a little bit more or just because.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: The score was close? What was the very first thing
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: he said that?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's a it's a part of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: our game we really like and and uh it was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that we were we had given them enough of an effect,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you know, in the running game.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, hopefully we'll continue to get that done.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Had played a much on defense for quite a while
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: until until last week.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: What did what did you make it?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: He jumped in and did all right? He did fine.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Uh, he fit up well, he was comfortable played, you know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like coming off the bench. He played like a veteran
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you know, knew knowing what was going on. So it was, uh,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it was good to see.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Whether's spend another bat ball going after the quarterback.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But what about him?
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Is that ability of both the Russia passer but when
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: the ball you know, time that up.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just it's just a it's just
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: one of the aspects of his awareness, you know, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to be able to figure out when that's the right
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because sometimes you can look really bad.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You take a leap and the guy jacks underneath you. You know.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: He seems to have a knack for waiting until the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: just about the balls thrown. So he's been accurate with it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: He's been pretty effective. There's other things that mean it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just one of the many things. He had a great
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: open field tackle in this game and it just blew
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: up to make the tackle that most guys would not
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: have even attempted in that manner because they thought they
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: might miss it, you know, so they get a little
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: more cautious. He went for it, and it's just he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: has a knack, you know, and and that I think
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that's what that is John. And you saw him wait
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to the very last instance and he ensured that the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: guy was going football, and you know, I don't see
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: what happens the next time. But he's he's been really
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: effective at it. And it's just another one of the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: things that he shows you that he has a depth
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of awareness.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: That's that makes him special.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: They both practicing today, Yeah, anxious to see those guys
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: get out there and battle. And they're kind of competing now,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, to see who's in the be shape, who's
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: ready to go and all that.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: So it's a good thing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Well, one more on the motion are does it seem
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: like they do that the late motion less to try
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: to decipher what what what what coverage it is and
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: more so to confuse the defense.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if you guys, you know, share with your readers, well,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: watch how often there's two motions or two shifts, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it's one of them is for you know, identifying you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: what's going on, and the other one is to get
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to gain the advantage some there's there's information gathering that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: happening with the multiple shifts and in that kind of stuff,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and that's, uh, you know, it's a really high tech
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: part of the game, so very cool part of the game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Quarterback has to make sense of it. But it also
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: helps other guys.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It helps receivers and helps the center no identify who's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you know, who's blocking and stuff like that, and and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: uh so the in essence the phrase, we can usually
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: trying to undress the defense, you know, with their with
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the motions and the and the shifts and stuff like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that to figure out what you're doing. And it's man
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and his own and it's pressures and all kinds of stuff.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: So what have you thought of how Jamal's played it?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: And numerically his past rush numbers aren't quite as high
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: as they were kind of previously.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, he he looked the best he's looked
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: all year. Yeah, and and uh, he moved well. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I talked to him about it, you know, and he
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: came out of the game feeling better than you know
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: he has And so he's got a chance to work
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit this week more than he has had.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: He has not been able to.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Practice regularly the whole you know, throughout this time for
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but he he looked the quickest, he looked light on
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: his feet, and and uh, I was really happy for
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: him that he could, you know, take a step forward.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: That's it's better than what he's looked be Going back to.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: The motion when on offense, So if you've got two
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: people that that m pre sing that motion, how much
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: does that change each and to continue the defense? Yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: it changes all the time.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's it's just up to the you know, the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: creative minds of the of the offensive coaches and the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: coordinators and all that that. You know, it just devise
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: another way, you know, And there's also if watch too
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the watch the tempos of the motions and the tempos
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of the shifts. You know that it tells you kind
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of whether they're gathering information or they're actually trying to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: use it in terms of the rhythm of the play.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of stuff going on. It's it's Uh,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the game has become very intricate and in as much,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: by far, the most it's ever been in the history
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: of the game. And uh, it's a cool part of it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of it probably blows right by
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the the n the regular fans, you know, they don't
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they seek guy's moving and they don't realize it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: But there's intent with almost everything that happens. You know,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: there's an intent in there. The the caller, the quarterback
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: is trying to take advantage of it. And and uh,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and whoever else needs to see what's happening.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So pretty d pretty cool. D H. Derek call didn't
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: play a whole against aalltas to see.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, we just need to play more. He just
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: needs to get in there more. He's doing he's doing fine.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Then no statement about that other than I wish he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: would have played more, you know, and I wish you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: would have got uh Kenny Mack in there too, you know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I unfortunately we didn't get him in any runs in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: But we'll try to get that done. Y.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I give him a lot a couple things on social
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: media over over the weekend that dukes of a fiction.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if he were made aware of those and
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: if he happened.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: To Yeah, we've already dressed it uh with him, and uh,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it was a great
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: decision at the time. I'm not sure about the the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: details of it, but I know that he realized that,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, he needed take it down what he put up,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and so uh, we don't wanna do We don't wanna
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: be part of that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: The first match up against the Niners didn't look like
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you guys, you your heavy stuff on defense against their
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: some of their heavy stuff.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Uh, they did it against Dallas would look like, Uh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: what was it you been talking about a boy overseas?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Huh h h uh what was the reason for maybe
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: doing it against Dallas? But then not so much.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Again, it's just game plan, just game plan. You can't
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: play these guys right back to back, you know, so
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you'd be do different things because of that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: The UH going lighter against their heavier stuff against the Niners.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: How to impact on some of the run stuff, I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know that. I'm not gonna tell you.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I I might know that, but i'm not gonna tell you.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you alright, see it
