00:00 John Aiden Hutchinson hasn't been entirely dominant for the first two weeks of the 2023
00:04 campaign. Are you concerned at all with his production up to this point? Yeah Vito, man it's
00:10 tough. The opposition has really tried to work hard. Understanding you now realize that opponents
00:17 are trying to find any avenue to chip Aiden Hutchinson to you know take advantage of his
00:23 propensity to over pursue and this is a football player that was expected to get and record double
00:28 digit sacks. So you see a football player that is drawing the attention of you know the opponents
00:34 but you know Vito this is a league in which the the top end you know defensive ends they really
00:41 make their mark and so for Aiden Hutchinson while it doesn't have to be racking up a significant
00:47 number of sacks but I do think that he could have performed better against the Seahawks. He did have
00:53 a lot of pressures against the Chiefs and I just think that the game plan that the Seahawks offensive
00:58 line deployed really really took advantage of some things that Hutchinson needs to work on.
01:04 So moving forward though Vito my concern level is mild. I think this is a football player that will
01:09 learn quickly from a performance that wasn't his best and I think that when you have a player that
01:15 starts with a great motor, great engine and really is a student of the game I do think that he'll
01:20 rebound and take advantage. Not every team's offensive line is going to be able to execute
01:25 at such a high level like the Seahawks. They're a very well coached team and they were coming in
01:30 desperate and hungry. Not every team is going to perform at that level and I do think over the
01:34 course of the next few weeks just like you saw with how Hutchinson performed last year I think
01:39 his sacks will come in streaks. There'll be times where there'll be lulls in his sack totals but I
01:45 I do think when they come
