  Speaker 2: earlier this season?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: He knows exactly the position that we're asking him to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: play that we think the transition to fit in, uh
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the spot, playing outside back of the spot and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: rushing in the four to three stuff. It just fits naturally.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: His experience is important with you know, such a young
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: group of guys that he's with now, so I'm hoping
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that we'll all fit together well.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Carryover is that is there from what he did when
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he was with you.

• 2:02
  Speaker 1: really comfortable about, you know, being able to make this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a really quick transition to get him in position to play,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and then we'll see how he does. And we're excited
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for him to get a chance to come back. He look,

  Speaker 3: you took a chance on him and he's become what
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he's become now aged thirty, he's still in the lady.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What he's done. Yeah, you know, Frank grew up with us,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, you know, it was a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it was a good process to see him come into
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the league and come into being a young man, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we had him for a lot of years there,
• 3:12

  Speaker 1: a world championship at a place and has a lot
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of success and does good stuff, and then we get

• 3:23
  Speaker 1: us out some It's it's it's a good thing. It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: really positive thing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's been reported maybe he was gonna go back to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Kansas City. Did you guys have to maybe a quick
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: move to kind of give something.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, John did a good job to make sure that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you know, we got it and got it done. Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: What kind of growth have you seen out of Stone
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Foresight this year?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It makes you comfortable having him out there for extended periods.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: He really is is a veteran now, he's a veteran
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: football player, you know, in terms of evaluation of what's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: going on, his ability to put himself in good positions
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and understand the edges that he needs to take, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on players and all of that growth stuff that's gone through. Uh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you know that the process of getting to hear he
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: did a really nice job last week. I was really
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fired up that he that he had just jumped in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: there for us and on the right side he's placed
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: some there and you know, we've seen him, but this
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is the best he's been. So really really grateful that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: he could come through.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Have to be able to play against Cleveland.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, we're I could. He needs to get here. He's
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not here yet, but I'm thinking.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That dk that capital he practiced today or yes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He's ready to go. Let's see what we'll limit him,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but he's gonna be out there. When you look at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense of me, oh man, they're they're really they're aggressive.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It's you know, it's we've been around Jim Schwartz for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a long time, you know, and it's his his scheme
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and style and and the nature that he you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he he coaches into these guys very aggressive up front
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on the attack. The focuses the front four, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but their backers are really aggressive as well. So there's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a whole philosophy that you that we recognize cause we've
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: seen Jim for you know, for years.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's about as good a.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Thing, that's cause you can get you know, he's a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fantastic player.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Who does scaret remind you of as a pass rusher.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Most The first thought I had was Bruce Smith. You know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's a long ways back, but I mean he's as
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know, he's as good as guys get, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and and uh, he's in the top of a couple
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of guys, the elite guys in the league. So you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: anybody from any of the time in the history that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: are the edge rushers, there's some you know, I go
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: way way back. You don't wanna hear those old names.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: How's How's Phil Hayms? He was he able to go
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to the walker groom? No, he come back to milescar.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not passionate to it either. In case
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you wanna go back.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: To Myles scale with a player like that, and is
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: it about stopping him or but he's more about neutralizing him?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: No know where he is, you know, cause he he's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he's so apt to you know, turn ah a situation
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: around just in a normal play, you know. So yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you have to be very aware of it. And that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: means it's part of the game plan, it's part of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the technical side for the guys up front. It just
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it takes He deserves a lot of attention.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He's already ruled out to Shaun Watson this week. What
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: is what have you seen from p J Walkers?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He wins, you know, won the forty nine er game,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: hung in this game against Indian all the way to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the very end to you know, come up with enough
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: players to get you know, to get the win. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they scored thirty nine points you know in the game too,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And I mean those are two big wins for him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So he's coming in with confidence, I'm sure. And he's
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: an active, mobile guy that can make things happen, so
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: similar in style from Deshaun m Katy's going today. Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: glad you brought that up. We're really excited about that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He's been out since mid August.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It's like a brand new toy, you know, really just
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: seeing him in the walk through just a bit ago,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: just to get him back with us, you know, he's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: been hanging for such a long time that it's it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that's some sense, that's one of the guys that uplifts us.

  Speaker 1: with the trainers when as they can work, and you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: by the rules and all that he's gone where he
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: is doing like weeks of practice mode, but he just
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gets as many reps as the guy's get in practice
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: so that he's he's ready to go, so we don't
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: have to acclimate him as much as as some of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the guys coming off injuries. So he's ready to roll
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and see what happens.

• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he's ready to go, So I don't know. Ye Saturday,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: there you go, I see, there you go? He where
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: does he ultimately finish?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Where does he fit in it for you?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Like you've got Bobo Jams and Tyler's a.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Little different style.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He's got a different style that he brings, you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and uh, explosive football player. And again we haven't seen
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of them over the years, you know, but
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: what he has shown, what he showed him camp, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: when we saw him for a while he looks like
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he was really ready to be a part of something,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, make a spot for himself. So we're gonna
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just see how it goes, see how it fits. We
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: do know and we understand him and all that, but
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he's gott to show us what happens in the practice
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: field all week long and see what happens for the game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You know, he could possibly play well, Zach Army, Yes,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you're on a roll.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: DJ's become a pretty good returner for you. He obviously
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: was doing that before I did. I mean, could he
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: kind of fit into that again.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he could definitely help us there. I love what
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: DJ's doing and I think he's doing a great job
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: for us. He's given us a little bit different style
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of attack oriented guy, which really fits our makeup anyway.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So he's made DJ's made a spot for himself, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but he does give a support that he could be
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: back there. Also, you're talking about d Scritch.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Been a lot of fan excitement about the throwbacks for
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a long time.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Excited to see those out there.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a brilliant color, the blue, it's such
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a brilliant color that it's it's just different and uh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just fun. You know, we just
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: have fun with it. But the one thing that we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: had to talk about is, you know, the idea is
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to we're kind of repping the nineties teams of the nineties,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you know, and and uh so we're going to carry
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that with us and try to you know, perform with
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the thought that we're trying to you know, connect the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: message because those those guys that played back then and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that we're all part of that whole image of what
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are all about, and the fans that liked it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It's a special moment to connect it. And it's crazy
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that it's just football, but it's fun, you know, And
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna try to do a real good job
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Do you ever have any interaction with toward Boks.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, matter of fact, they did. You want to hear it.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: The the the Rams had a workout down at the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: coliseum when I was coming out of college, and uh,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: it was kind of a cattle call, you know. It
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: was like hundreds of guys showed up and uh and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: so I I somehow I got invited to go to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the thing. You know, I don't remember how it happened.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But I had a good enough invitation and I don't
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: know how to connect connected. But with all the guys coming,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I can remember standing in the ramp there at the coliseum.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: They're all, you know, like there's hundreds of guys and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they had a special little deal coach wants to meet you.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You know, they found me. I got a chance to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: shake hands with them and all that whatever. So I
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: was pretty fired up about it, you know, and all that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And then I went out there and ran and uh
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and and had one chance that they had eight lines
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of guys running the routes and I had one heavy
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: set guy Ran. I don't know whether he came from
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but ran. It must have been a tight end. He
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: came run out and fell down right in front of
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: me on the one on one route that I got
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: for the whole day. And so I never heard fro
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: him again. So uh, short lived. But that's that's I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: got to shake his hand one time. Yeah, what was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the time? I don't know that. I don't know what
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the answer is. I just know that it wasn't. It wasn't.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It wasn't good enough for them to call me back,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know they didn't give us
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the times in the back in the day.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You coached a few games in the Kingdom, didn't you.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was rousing, Yeah, it was.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It was. It seemed unfair. It was so loud in there,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and uh, it really seemed it was hard. It was
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: really hard.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Did the ball come to you in the one on
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: one when the guy built?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't even throw it. He fell down. He
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: fell down and he said, that was my shot? So
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: is is? Uh? Is Jason Peters practicing the thought that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he play at tackle. I'm not telling you that. Sorry,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: He's gonna practice with the chance that he can play.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Back to Clark.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit different defensive line than when he
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: left here.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Do you see him as an every down gun?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You see him right now. We're just bringing him into
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: be an edge rusher force, you know, and see if
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you can get in the ro the four guy rotation
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that we've been having. We've really liked how that's worked
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: out and and uh so we're gonna see if we
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: can maintain that, you know, see how it goes, see
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: how fits together and what it looks like.
