 Hey coach, I was just trying to do some homework and notice the streaks on the defensive side. You know, stops, then give up, stops, then give up. How do you try to pull that together? Can you put a little more context so I can answer? Four out of five possessions stopped the first game. Then four out of five scored. Then four touchdowns out of the first five possessions second game. Then one stopped. You're trying to confuse the fans or whatever you're asking about sitting there just possessively. No, I mean, I think the best. Sure, of course. So you're asking the first game, you know, what was the difference? Why were we able, other than the long hill run? Right, you had the long hill run and then until the end, just the ebbs and flows. And sometimes, yeah, so obviously sometimes there are adjustments that need to be made, momentum of the game. But it's going to come down to that. You've got to get off the field and third down and you got to do it for a complete game and handle the situation. It's not just third down in the field. You can argue the difference has been third down in the red zone. And that will continue to be the challenge and will continue to work to improve there on both offense and defense. Then AJ's physical... Hell no. AJ is one of the toughest players I've ever been fortunate enough to coach in this league. And, you know, sometimes it's, you know, you're coming in there, whether you're playing cover two or, you know, you're in quarters and he's got a crack replaced. He's going to, he's not scared. There's no, he doesn't go in there with a flashlight. You know, he's good to go and he's got his head up and tries to teach great fundamentals. But a lot of times they call in guys slow to get up and that's all that happened on Sunday. What does he have to do to, you know, red zone passes? Yeah, I didn't, a lot of it's just the situation and a lot of times you're getting they check or we check in the day. You get down there and there's any kind of pressure. The ball is coming out quick and you're on a one-on-one. If you're in some kind of man coverage or on the outside, regardless of what's going on inside combination or pressure. So, let's get in to work on the line of scrimmage and he will. I got all the faith in the world in him and we've gone on against some pretty good matchups. We got to, as a team, we got to continue to get better both offensively and defensively, control of situational football. And they said coach Pete said Sunday or Monday he could let, you know, go a little bit, leading 81% of his passes. You said the protection is fine with the young type of man. Does that put y'all on notice that? Oh, no, it's just giving, it's just giving take, D-Led. You know, I think what you're seeing a lot of, you're not seeing a ton of man right now. Really around the league, I think it's gone in vogue. You know, people are playing a lot of zone coverages, so people, you know, running a lot underneath. So there's been a high completion percentages. That trend, it ebbs and flows in the league anyways. But, you know, obviously it's about converting and scoring touchdowns in the red zone. However, you get down there, whether you're going to run a controlled passing game because they're playing such a soft zone. Whether you're in cover three, different, you know, quarters, cover two, or, you know, combination. Quarter-quarter-half, half-quarters, whatever you're playing. So I think that's what you're seeing a lot of. And the stats can be a little misleading, a high completion percentage. But I think Pete's gone on record and he said it was Monday about trying to push the ball down the field. So that's a give and take when you're playing a lot of zone or if you're disciplined. So I think that's what you're seeing. Yeah, we played a minute with the Jets like a lot of young quarterbacks. There's a lot that goes on just even pre-snap. I'm not considering Borja, but it sounds like you're trying to make excuses for different players here and there. But there's a lot on young quarterbacks. And I give him a lot of credit. He's obviously a very resilient player. He's playing really well right now. There's a lot to be said for that. You know, a guy gets, doesn't go the way he probably envisioned when he got drafted and he comes back, keeps swinging. And I got so much respect for guys like that. And he's been playing really solid football for the Seahawks. Well, I mean, you look at that game and they were able to get out ahead and they ran the ball pretty effectively. And they got a good team. So does Seattle. So it's kind of the way it goes. It's no different than a week before. Seattle did a really nice job and they won the situational battle. And they have a heck of a home field advantage and we got to be ready for it. No, it's just, no, it's just Josh. A lot of people had an impact on me, not only in coaching, maybe players have been around other sports that I've watched. You know, I think a lot of things you learn from. I try to pick people's brains about wisdom and things that you learn from other people. And you got to then make it your home. And so that's kind of where it came from. Josh is maybe it's my background of being a lineman. My fascination with basketball and some of the things about ball movement. And I just kind of, just kind of evolved. Your assistant coach is your guys. If you are, you're not just rolling that 11 personnel every time and everybody's in the same spot. Sure. Yeah, I think it's maybe it's the logistics in my background. Maybe that had something to it. But all seriousness, it's, yeah, it's got to be a coordinator. You got to have really good assistance, which we do. You know, the easiest thing to do is to sit there in the same personnel, 11 or 12 and not change and stay static. But if you want to play the way we do, you got to have really smart football players, which we do. And you have really good assistance, no matter what. And we have both of those. It feels like it's gotten pretty smoothly game management wise. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's always stuff to work on. Even if you win, to think that you've all of a sudden got it all figured out. You'll be humbled so damn quick. It's not funny. And that's what I love about it. So I think that's the constant, there's always something we got to fix. It's a constant work in progress. And if you understand that, then you can actually improve. Being out here for the whole week, what are the benefits you hope to get out of it besides, you know, skipping some cross country flights? There's a lot of benefits, especially early in the season. I think it's, you know, kind of where we're at. It's really the timing couldn't be better if we use it the right way. And I'm thankful we're an organization that allows you to do this and the way the schedule worked out. And really thankful for the University of Washington. They've been so accommodating, I can't thank them enough. Are there any things you kind of do to, you know, spur that on? Being able to have the guys kind of spend some time closer together in addition to practice? Are there team events, things like that you can do with this long a trip? Certainly give them options. You know, we're in there, I've got to do my job. But to be very aware, you know, we're taking the players are away from their families or from, you know, their homes. And you try to accommodate and have events, but we're not going to sit here and force everybody to something or not. And the guys took advantage of it. And now we're back to, you know, Wednesday practice and we got our work, we got to get done. You mentioned the challenges of playing here in Seattle. You know, how does this environment compare? You play in domes, it's loud in every dome. It's loud in a lot of stadiums. How does Seattle compare? Yeah, they've created a unique environment here. You got a really passionate fan base. I was up here in 2007 in a wildcard game when I was in Washington, probably the loudest I've ever seen. Even the year I spent in the SEC, holy hell, that was loud in that playoff game. I think it was Joe Gibbs's last game he coached. And then we're up here in the regular season in 13. We're up here in the preseason 12, but in regular season 13. It's an advantage and you can see it play out in the Broncos game and we got to handle that. Yeah, that's a tough one. You see similarities of traits of certain players, but I'd never seen one guy as exact same as the other. Bobby was a terrific player here and still a terrific player. We played him last week. A little bit different scheme too, some of the stuff that they're doing. You know, they made a name for themselves with that Seattle 3 that was trendy and a lot of people broke off from here because of the success. No different you're seeing out in LA. A lot of people break off and usually what happens in a lot of industries. Yeah, he's a very instinctive. Brooks is very instinctive player. Good player coming out of Texas Tech. So I got two you're going to lie back. Barton's pretty solid too. Well, it's really all of us. I know the quarterback's going to obviously get the attention. I mean, that's the nature of the job and the business, but he said there's a lot of things we've seen improvement. There's things we've got to do better. You know, the penalties are not on him. You know, we've got to make sure that we're cleaning it there so you're not off track. And then because you're off track, especially when it gets tight down the red zone, nobody's really going to pressure you. They're going to sit back and wait, whether they play drop eight or whatnot and make you hold the football and you're hoping for a play extension or I don't count one of those back pile on throws at that point. Otherwise you're just checking it down. So it's important to stay on track. It's not just on the quarterback. It's on all 11 on offense. Coach, you can go back and look at Kyle. You can see the people lurking around. Sure. You know, how do you keep doing the job that knowing that it's the ball's going to get to him? Yeah, he's a terrific player. And, you know, it's going to change week to week. And certainly, you know, you're going to evaluate. We evaluate everything. I started myself, you know, we've made a commitment. Certain things we want in the game plan to stop New Orleans. He's been targeted as a primary plenty, but that doesn't necessarily mean the ball is going to go there. If people are going to sit there, it's not just double team. So that's where it's hard. I mean, that's what makes football so great. There's a lot of different variables. And so you get these advanced stats and then it's a little bit like, I don't want to sound like I'm taking a shot. I'm not taking a shot. But if you're going to funnel you in there and some of those match shell coverages, right? Well, there's somewhere is exposed. And that's why you're saying success with other people. Excuse me. I'm sorry. And so, again, it's not just the traditional double teams and man and they're sitting there like that. And so you get the guys to get the snapshot. Like, ooh, he's not double. That's not necessarily the case. You have certain coverages and there's progressions and there's reads. Now we can move around and not continue to push the envelope there. But there's things we maybe asked him to sacrifice early on to make sure that we were clean in the run game and some of the protection stuff. But we have targeted him. And he knows that. But Kyle's a unique person. The ball will find. And he was going to break out here again. And we're going to win because of it. But he's an unbelievable teammate, unbelievable person. And like all of us, we want to win. And it's easy to be happy when you win, when you have 14 catches and everybody's celebrating you. And you don't want guys that are happy. They have 12 catches for 110 yards and you got smoked by 21 points. We're trying to have our cake and eat it. So we'll continue to do that. And he will. And I got all the faith in the world in him and I'll do a better job as well. Yeah, he's fast. Yeah, he's trying to play physical line of scrimmage. He can really run. They got a lot of youth on this team, too. I remember impressed with those two young tackles, Cross and Lucas. Yeah, it's all.
