00:00 - Russell Wilson and just how well he's been playing,
00:03 especially in this four game stretch.
00:05 - Yeah, Russell's playing great.
00:07 I've seen him play quite a bit over my career
00:12 and just watching him.
00:12 And I was fortunate enough to be part of the coaching staff
00:16 down there at the senior bowl when he was coming out.
00:18 So I got to know Russell for that week
00:20 and just was a unbelievable person, unbelievable player.
00:23 I think he's playing at a high level,
00:25 like I mentioned, taking care of the football,
00:27 running their offense really, really well,
00:29 and is very capable of making those off schedule plays
00:33 that he's made his whole career.
00:34 You've seen him do it in these games.
00:36 He gets out of the pocket and he can run,
00:39 he can throw it to all areas of the field.
00:40 So he's a major, major point of this offense.
00:44 - Okay, excited about this week.
00:46 Great challenge on the road versus a good football team.
00:50 Winners of four straight.
00:51 They're playing very well, period.
00:54 They're also playing really well at home.
00:56 It's a tough place to play.
00:57 It's loud, so we have to be about our business, obviously.
01:00 Well-coached, good players,
01:04 but the story with their four-game winning streak
01:07 is the turnover margin.
01:08 They're doing a great job of getting the football.
01:11 I think 13 maybe in the last five games,
01:13 takeaways, which is incredible.
01:15 So you have to take care of the ball,
01:16 and then they're doing a nice job of taking care of the ball.
01:18 They're winning that turnover margin.
01:20 We know how important that is to winning and losing.
01:22 So huge challenge for us, AFC opponent on the road.
01:26 So we have to have a great week of practice.
01:28 There's always little nuances to the scheme
01:31 that you adjust as the season goes on.
01:32 And you come into a season thinking
01:35 you're gonna be doing one thing,
01:37 and you oftentimes adjust based on what's in front of you
01:40 and how you're doing.
01:41 So there's certainly things that they're adjusting
01:44 from a schematic standpoint,
01:45 but I can't overstate how important that turnover margin is
01:49 when you're talking about winning and losing.
