• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Oh got real quiet.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: You got great things to say, starting with those shoes.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Oh the shoes, I mean my cause my cleats week.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: U S decided to sport Seattle Humane Society. Uh. Fun
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: fact about that, So I I was like, oh, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just gotta help the the puppers out, maybe some cats.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: But apparently they do like dog food bank type services,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: so that was kind of fun. I didn't know that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was going on. So super sweet. Sean Magar did him
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: former teammate, former dog, So it's a good week to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: be a dog. I guess, do you have a dog?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, Moxie, she's gonna be one here in January.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: She's she's a big girl, Bernise Mountain dog. Oh yeah.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Uh Sean Bagar, I made these cleats, so he was
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: teammate mine, I U do ub and then I got
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: him kind of plugged in. He's been doing a lot
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of custom cleats for guys, so he does a good job.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Real creative guy. Why not call it, well, I got
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a dog this year, and uh, you know, we're just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to you know, help
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you know the other poppers around. So Seat Society, you know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: big organization and they do a lot of good work
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: for the animals that uh, you know, can't help themselves.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of I guess as humans we're supposed
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to help them out. And you know it's fun. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I appreciate animals. They uh bring me a lot of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: joy and bring others a lot of joy, and uh
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it makes me sad if they're not uh properly kept up.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So adopt a pet or donate to the Seattle Food Bank.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I guess, though, when.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It comes to this, what's the first thing that needs
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to happen in finding it? The offensive identity of this team.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: That's a great question, you know. I think as far
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as our offensive mindset is just go attack. You know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: there's really uh nothing to hold back, and we have
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the players, you know, we just gotta go out there
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and execute, put it all together, and uh just be attacking.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That's who we wanna be. We We're not uh no
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: one in our li locker room is reserved at all.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: We all want to play till the quarter, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: until it says zero on the clock. So we're just
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and be attacking for all four quarters.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: When your offense is at its best, what do you
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: think it's doing really well. That's a good question. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I think Coach p would be mad at me if
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't say starting with the ball first, So protecting
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the ball and then just sustaining drives. Man, we've had
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: some really good, like you know, twelve play eight play drives,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So just figuring out a way to kind of sustain
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: drives and you know, you just give one of those
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: guys an opportunity to get the balls in the hand
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and uh, they're gonna make a guy miss and go
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and score. So that's kind of what it is. Just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stay drives and keep giving you know, our playmakers opportunities
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to go and score and make explosives on their own
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: with their feet and uh, you know, keep you up.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That's really the recipe I think when your run games
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: going the way you guys wanted to do. What do
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you think that that side of the ball does well
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: with Canon Kennon's at Yeah, uh, you know, Zack's been
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: great to the you know kind of one two punch
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: K nine Obviously K nine is special man. He can
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: create something out of nothing a lot of times. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: then you have twenty six is the big Bruisers, So
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it's just a nice kind of balanced offense, and you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: really get to know those guys and their styles, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so when the running game it compliments those guys a style.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: That's when we're really unmatched, Like the defense doesn't know
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: what plays coming, but it can be either the mid
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: zone or the power plays or whatever's coming. They don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they don't know, and both of those backs do a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: really good job. I know, Can nine ran a lot
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of you know gap poll at Michigan State, I believe.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: And then you know, Zach's a big bruiser, so he
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hits a downhill fast. So kind of just using them
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to their their skill sets and just making sure that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: they are running on little guys, you know, safeties and dbs.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: That's really the that's where it's at its best, which
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: sort of the psychea. I guessaid the team in practice
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: yesterday and all that. You know, we had a long
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: work week, you know those Thursday turnaround, especially with Thanksgiving,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of hard work put in for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that Thursday night game and so just to you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: take two days refresh and then come back. Yesterday. Guys
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: were ripping, man, we had pads on. We were going
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: so like I said, we're attacking, man, We're not flinching.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what happened in the past, you know, coach
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: piece philosophy, it's all moving forward. What can you do now?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And you know, how can you help the seam win? Now?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You know we have this week. We can't go back
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and play those other games again, so we're just gonna
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: go out and do our best against Dallas. Does the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: schedule just feel wacky from Thursday to Thursday? Uh? I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: would say yeah. I think it's like you play that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: short week. This is new for me. Even as you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: play that short week against Thursday, you're already beat up
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: going into the game, and then to not kind of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have that extra bye week quote unquote is a challenge.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But you know, we've done a good job. Het has
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a really good schedule rhythm, so we kind of just
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: treated like a normal week. You know, Monday, Tuesday and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: whatever today is now is our Thursday. So uh, just
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: kind of roll with the punches. It is nice. Uh.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm really proud of like our Rooki. He's just kind
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of rolling with the punchers. Man. They don't know what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to expect and they don't know anything different, so they're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just putting their heads down and working. So it's it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it's good to see. I was gonna ask you if
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you know what day today is, but it sounds like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you're just as confused as I am. Yeah, I think
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: we travel tomorrow. Pack your bags.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The number of playmakers that you have on the offense,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: when Pete talks about putting people in position to succeed,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it seems like there's not as many touches to go around,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: right because you're trying to deliver the ball to a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: wealth of playmakers. Are there conversations that need to happen
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: or is there just a general understanding among the offense
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: that it might eatheast or family for.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You guys some days. Uh? Yeah, I think that's kind
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of what I was getting at, is you know, we
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just gotta find a way. It's to say drives, because
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the more times you get the balls in our playmaker's hands,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they're gonna go and do special things. So I think
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we're just kind of killing ourselves on a couple of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: drives that are are stalling us out early and we're
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: not able to get, you know, those extra touches to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the guys that can go and create explosive plays. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that's really been the message, especially in the tight end room,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is if you get the ball, just go and make
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: something happen with it, and uh, stay diligent, man, keep
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: your head down and wait for that opportunity and then
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: when it comes, you just got to make the most
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of it. You look at how you guys are performing
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: on third down? What do you what are you seeing?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of effort. It's really is a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: high effort team. We're it's just a lot of hard work. Really,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: like third down, it's not easy. This league is really challenging.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think I've really seen it grow in the defensive
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: schemes and how hard they make it with kind of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: their eight up looks. Are they bringing zero, are they
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: dropping back in the zone? Are they running man? So
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you can't really count on certain players working. So I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think it's it's just been interesting to see the league
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of all as I've kind of played and how challenging
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: defenses make third down. So uh, like I said, it's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: just like it's going out there and winning your one
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on one and executing and working hard. Really is what
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it comes down to. Finding a way to get the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ball and go and get that first down. Are you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: seeing more tendency records these days down than if you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: were earlier in your career. Uh? Yeah, it feels like
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: we're preparing, you know, for certain looks and then they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: kind of switch it up on us. So uh, like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I said, we just got to stay diligent, like it's
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's nice to see. We kind of go in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the huddle and they you know, they bring that eight
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: up or whatever they're they're thinking, and you go and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: evaluate what our protection's plan was and what our route
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: plan was, and well what did they do? Did they
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: show us what they did on you know, all week
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that we were seeing on film or are they running
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: something different? So it's time to adjust. But we do
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: a really good job and he does a good job
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: circling the guys up and make sure our looks are protected.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And Shane does a good job of making the adjustments
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in game and going from there, I.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Imagine you'll let up blocking party in the game.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean, uh, he reminds me a lot
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of von Miller. You know, he really does a good
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: job of picking and choosing when he gets kind of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I like the squirrely is really the best way I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: describe it kind of swiping hands, doing swim moves, shooting gaps,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: so he he, he does a really good job of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, his game within the game. You know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it's a simple, simple scheme, but he makes it go
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: with just his twitch and his playmaking ability anything else.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks as one
