Not much. Obviously, this is a Tuesday, so I hadn't had a chance to go all the way back through all the games. But I mean he's been pretty consistent just watching them the last two weeks. He's been able to get their offense in some advantageous runs. When he sees a box counting that he likes, he'll run it. If not, he'll change the plate to a pass or just little quick um, you know, dart to one of
the receivers and let them run with the ball. So you've got to make sure that that you're not, you know, tipping your hand and everything that you're doing. If you show him, you know, the look too early, you know, he'll he'll carve you up. So we got to do a better job of of kind of making him a little bit unsure, and we got to get to him. The short passion game is something that they do really well, getting the ball out of his hands, uh and into
the playmaker's hands. But he's still efficient, still smart quarterback has the playbook at the line of scrimmage. Uh. And you know, obviously last time we played it didn't order to start out. You know, they came out firing. So we got to be able to start fast and make sure that that that we muttered that look up A little bit earlier weeks, some other guys putting. Richard Sherman announced pobot what they think of Thursday nine games? What do you think? Yeah, Thursday night games aren't in the
interest of the players. Um, but there's money in it, and if it comes down to us and the money, they're gonna take the money. So uh, you know what we got a job to do is you know, we we signed up to play sixteen games, whatever day of the week those games fall on, so we play. I don't know how much you get a chance to watch him because he's on the defensive side of the ball. But Landing Collins, Um, what do you think in his game he took a big step from year one year Yeah,
I think that's the most impressive thing. That is the improvement that he took from year one of year two. Um, I think you know, some of the supporting cast is playing a lot better than that's allowing him to make some more plays. Obviously they upgraded that corner, um JPP being back to get a little bit more pressure with their D line. But I mean he's you know, he's making plays in the in the past game. Uh, he's tackling. He's always been a great tackling in the box safety.
But he's showing a little bit more range, a little more versatility this year. And I'm making a lot more plays. So I won't I won't be surprised to see him in the Pro Bowl, ilcome overuld't me to finish these last few games with wins. I mean it's huge. Uh. You know, we're in a huge side right now, so we want to We're evaluated on wins and losses. You know, playing in simple so um, you can never be okay with losing, and and right now we're fighting, um to
to get a win, especially the last two weeks. You can go out on a positive note. You can, you know, kind of build a foundation to roll into next year. Uh, but you know in December, you gotta you gotta find ways to win when you're tired, you're banked up, short week, you know. So these are these are lessons that we're learning now and that hopefully we'll carry into, uh to another season. We just talked about how he wants to be aggressive as a play caller defensive. You've been in
the league obviously a number of years. This one of the more aggressive defenses you've been in in terms of his play call. Um, No, not really, I've been in more aggressive. I was with Greg Williams, so we blitz a lot. Uh. You know, I think he wants to get He's actually probably more conservative than than most coordinators I've been with. He wants to play, he wants support man rush. He's not gonna blitz much. We'll play man a man, but he'll give help, you know, with a
whole player or high whole player. Um. And if if he sees, you know, a quarterback or offense has struggles with blitzeres, then will blitz. But most part we're rushing for so it's it's not h it's not as aggressive as it's some other defensive I've been in. Didn't even know as much as last year. And how do you people? You are I lt Uh, it's a little different. Every year is different. Um. Probably Um, not as productive as
last year, but still still having a good season. Uh. I mean I'll watch it and obviously pay attention to it. But you know, that's an honor to be voted on by your peers, by the fans, coaches, people or people around the league who who watch you, who play against you. So it's always you know, a fun time a year to see you know where you fall, and it's really all about respect and uh, you know that's kind of what a lot of guys played for. It's what I played for. Um, But there's a lot of guys playing
some good ball. So UM, you know, we'll see what happens done. You wish has more players who push you back against the NFL And Richard Sherman, does you curious what your take is on that and how you kind of balance you know, when you decide to come out of UM. I mean, well, there's always ways to do it, you know, you you know you you have to you can't just you know, you don't want to troll an issue.
You don't want to just you know, tweet or post something or talk about something when you know it's advantageous and it makes a lot of noise. But you know, you as a player, don't do anything. If you're not a player rep or you're not involved with you know, the actual decision making on what happens, then it's hard
to criticize. But I think there are times where you know, we need to be able to speak out on things that you know, we don't umsaid, like like player safety or you know, when some of the find systems were coming out, or disciplinary stuff where guys are getting punished outside of UM the rules that we already have in place. That's when you know players need to speak up. But you know, some of the things unfortunately we're we're bargained for and as players we collectively agree to that deal.
So we have problems with some of the things that are in place. Then you know, instead of kind of barking, you know on social media, some of those things need to be or you need to become more active as a player. Uh, what's going on as we get closer and closer to this next collective bargaining agreement to make sure that whatever your feelings are, whatever your thoughts are, are reflected in what we do moving forward. So, I mean, there's two sides of it. I think I think both
are important. But you know, obviously a little bit of action needs to come with with those who who voice their opinions. And in Richard Sherman's defense, he's a very active rep for the Seahawks and he's very involved in what we do as a player's union. So I think him speaking on things is uh, you know, everybody respects it. Thanks good, No problem,
