  Speaker 7: of being able to excel at.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Your job, you know, just cause we spend so much

  Speaker 3: time like being serious and being locked in the meeting rooms.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: And you know, this is a kid game, you know,

• 1:05
  Speaker 2: like space.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: So y y uh, there's a clip that you guys, Uh,
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: turn around and talking to some of the fans in Washington,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: and that's that game kind of got out of control.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Uh you know, well it talk got fun. What was
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: that like to be out there and taking over that field.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, whenever you're on the road and you travel,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: it's us versus everybody, right, you know, cause it's their
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: fans and everything. The best feeling in the world is
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: to go out there and to execute on all three
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: phases of the game and to be able to have
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: fun like that when we're away away from home when
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: all we have to depend on is each other. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I think that's just the main factor of you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and the fans talking.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: That's everywhere you go, you.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Know, and uh, it just makes it that much better
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: when a fan is hassling you the whole time, you know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: and then we're out there producing it and winning and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: execute and then then they have nothing to say.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: That was actually pretty funny.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Was your go to space partner?
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Partner? I don't know, man, I like to think I'm
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the king of it for real, you know. S So
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I'm I I'm the bessest partner to have to my
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: own home.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: What's the worst space on the team.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Uh, probably my favor It's horrible and he can't catch.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: He just.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: He knows how to play. It was bad. Ain't got
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: no poker face.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: When you look at the list of guys who have
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: the most sacks of little in the field, you're number
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: two on the list. But Kalais Campbell was also on
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: that list. Is there something that you get into a
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: group when you're in a in a different stadium that
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: just feels like home when it's not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know. I I had no clue. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: don't really reason to statistics stuff, but uh.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's nothing like playing in Looming, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: especially for me. You know, I be here in my
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: whole career and it's just it's it's it's it's another
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: ump when you know, like the fans are there and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: it's your fans and just watching it, and it just
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: comes time to.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Have like that clutch clutch play, clutch performance.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Or whatever whatever you want to call it. Now it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just y'all protect home feels. So it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: just it gives you that much more umph when you're
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: rushing in when you're playing period four the.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Season started, a lot of people didn't think highly of
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks. And now you guys are six and two
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: and winning on national stage and getting a lot of attention.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: How do you, as like one of the vets and
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: the leaders, kind of help people not get ahead of themselves.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: We don't let let all that seep in.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: You know, we want them to be the same way
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: they were at the beginning of the season. You know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: we're just focused on us each and every day we
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: come in here, we.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Work hard, and we know what we're capable of.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Right but everybody else has a speculation and an opinion
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: of what we can be what we can't be. Because
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: let's just say, if it didn't go this way, this
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: conversation would be different, and then everybody would have been
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: told you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: So whatever wo.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So all main focus is just us right here in
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: this building and then just attacking each day, winning each
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: day and being one.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Wanna know, every week you getta.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Hit up Jay Harvard about kick coverage that we're seeing the.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Oh me, no, na, probably the younger me, but nah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: not right now.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: If he needed me, I would, and you know, but
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think I played kickoffs since high school.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: What did you think you tackle out there?
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Man, it was exciting to see him out there. Man,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: those are the guys, him and Mike Mo. You know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: they did a great job. You know when the numbers call,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: they answered the call. I guess they had the game
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: playing for it. But you know, it's all three phases game,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and that was a huge play. I think that really
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: turned the game when he made that play, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and then they scored.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Right after that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Uh that's just a huge momentum swing man. Then with
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: us getting the ball at half, it was only that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: much more. And that Knights, our defense man seen him
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: play like that, knowing that the offense went on scoring.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's like, now it's our time to go step up
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and get another stop to get the offense back to
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Have you been on a team that had this many
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: rookies on that before.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I don't think so. But man, these young
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: guys go like we have a great veteran group too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: We have a little bit more on the defense than
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the offense. But you know, just keeping everybody locked in.
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Look, they young, they body young, they knees young. They
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: don't hurt as much as what we do during the week.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So it's good to have a bunch of the many.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: They're young, ready to go.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: We're at it's a.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: Different quarterback than Kyler Murray. So what does that change
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: about keys that you're looking at and how you would.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Play that, you know, just seeing they change the scheme
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit. But you know, Brissett is a is
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: a great quarterback. He's been in his lead a long
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: time for a reason. They put on a good showing
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: against Dallas and uh, you know, we're just locked in
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: on our keys and ready to go man, based on
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: what we're seeing off him.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the young guys, you were were talking, we
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: were asking you about grades able back in training camp
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and what you're seeing now now he's got a half
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: season under his belt. Just what sends out about the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: way the.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Rookies playing, it's just the way he works, man.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: He attacks every day. He doesn't complain at all, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: he works hard hard as hell man, and every rep
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: he takes is like a game rep.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: He takes it serious. He likes to finish blocks.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: He likes to finish is you know, running after the ball,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and you really see that in rookies man and hit
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the way his mindset is is just like very different
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: cause you don't really have to push him.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He already has it in him. And those are trades
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: like you can't coach.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: How does the the way guys play on the perimeter,
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: whether it's uh Nicholas like Nick and Spoon or you
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: know my fag got you know, uh dlong on the edge,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: how does that help you guys run defense?
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It helps a lot, man, where you could set the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: edge on the outside, you know, when the feeders back
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to the dolls inside, Ben.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: We're ready and we're hunting.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Man, it's just everybody's foaming at the mouth of wanting
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to make a play, wanting to make a stop. We
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: take you very much pride in that, especially stopping the run,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: cause that's how guy's gonna try tack us.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: In terms of like the style you guys wanna play,
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like it shows up there when you
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: guys run defense?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's I think is what we went past every
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: day for in training camp. You know, the practice as
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: long as hell too, So you know, just grinding grinding
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that out man, and seeing it pay off is what's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: good man. I mean, that's kudos to everybody who put
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: in that work.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Well you you're you're here when believes you to boom?
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: What was it singing?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: And still doing THI you know, have a nice kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: of edge of their game and everything like that to
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: see this defense come back around now and kind of
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: set the standard again. But the level you guys are
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: playing right now, how how how happy does that kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: of make you to kind of know that you guys
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: are doing putting that down again?
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It's very good, man, But it's not even happy, man.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It's a testament to what we did. You know how
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: hard we work And I know I keep saying that,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: but I mean that's true. You know, we work very hard,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: and I just think you know, we're being rewarded for
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the work that we put in. But we gotta stay
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: humble and respect the game and keep that going, you
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So we keep ho uh upholding
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: that standard and stopping and run.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: When you heard that Rashichi hid was added to the team,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: what was your first thought?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: He fastest?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Hell, hm, you know, just add another great guy to
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: a receiving group that's already doing a very good job. Man.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And then you know, anytime.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: We can add a good player to help us get
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to where we wanna go whatever that may be the
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to be wanna know every week. You know, that's good man,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it's a great player. We already played against 'em, so
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we kind of like had already watched me seen him
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: on the scheme he was if they one of the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: guys were scouted against you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: When you came in a league, you played on a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, really deep talented line, and now you guys
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: are kind of building that again. Here's what does that
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: do for defensive line when you got so many different
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: guys that can rotate it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Personally, I think is.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: The mentality that you gotta have is no drop off
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: when it's the next man up and to be just
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: as prepared as everybody who's starting or who's rotating the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: You know, that's just the main thing. You know, when
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: you see you got your guys go out there and
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: they're doing their job. The next guy's up when they
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: come to do the same thing.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Well, can you say about uh, your your guys' ability
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: to get home, to get to the quarterback with just
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: four rushers, you're not blitzing a whole lot, and it
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: seems like you don't really have.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: To cause you guys are Yeah, well, I mean we're
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: not getting there's gonna be a problem, you know, big problem.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And I think the guys on the back end stuff,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: they're banking on us to get home. The coaches as well,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: and uh, that takes four people, that equals one. So
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: it's all of us together collectively, you know, to be
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: able to get to a quarterback, Drake.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Thomas kind of have to take over the second half
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of the linebacker everything.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: How did how did you feel like that much?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I feel like it was easy and i'm'a always relate
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: to practice. I just seen him do that consistently from
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: last year to this year. You know, he took it
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and uh and really just sold into his role in
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: special teams like last year, and anytime he got in
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the game, he was ready, always prepared. And I'm a
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: people watcher, so like I see him around the building.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: He always got his iPads in his hands. Anytime I
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: was in there getting some ads of pump in cause
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: you know, I got.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: A big arms.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: It was just like he was always in there working
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: on his body, being prepared just for whatever his numbers call.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Man, he's doing a great job.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: What does it mean to rush as one? Like obviously
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: when you're when you're running games up front, that's one thing,
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: but yeah, does that still a thing even when you're
• 9:41
  Speaker 8: all just kind of doing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Your Yeah, because I mean we're never just doing our
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: own thing, right, because that's how you can create rust
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: lanes for the quarterback. It's like we're always communicating talking
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: to each other, Like when we're in meeting rooms, we're
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: always seeing like what what one other person is thinking,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: like what they're thinking here and there, and then.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: That goes back to off the field.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: So we have to feel like you kind of know
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the person, so you kind of know what he's thinking,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: what he's feeling, and how to play off of them.
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: So you don't necessarily have to communicate.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: That oh you always got to communicate. OK, Yeah, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: appreciate that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Thanks Jeremy
