00:00I wanted to go there because you've got two new head coaches, two new offensive, defensive
00:07schemes.
00:08So let's start with the Seahawks.
00:10They're going to be competitive.
00:11They're going to fight for a playoff spot.
00:12This offense is going to be completely different.
00:14You talked about Pete Carroll in the run game.
00:16Ryan Grubb, who comes from college football, he's more spread out.
00:21The Seahawks have been primarily a 12 personnel offense, two tight ends, a back, two receivers.
00:29Not anymore.
00:30They're going to be heavy 11 personnel.
00:31Three receivers, one tight end, one back.
00:33More explosive.
00:34You're going to see Kenneth Walker, the starting running back, he'll catch the ball more in
00:38this offense.
00:39I like it.
00:40It's more spread out.
00:41Geno Smith, he could throw the football.
00:42He still looks good.
00:44Jackson Smith and Jigba, their first round pick out of Ohio State last year.
00:47Receiver, he's going to play more this year.
00:48He'll be an eventual, replacing for Tyler Lockett on the outside.
00:53This is a good team.
00:54And the big story here is defensively.
00:56Buchanan Owosu, their best pass rusher who missed most of last season with a torn pectoral
01:00muscle.
01:01He's back.
01:02They're going to have a new look defense under head coach Mike McDonald, who will call the
01:05defense.
01:07This team, nobody's talking about them.
01:09They're kind of under the radar.
01:11I'm glad I got to spend two days with them.
01:13They're rostered and they're more explosive than I thought.
01:16So that's a team nobody's talking about, but they should be to potentially challenge for
01:21a wildcard spot in the NFC.
01:22And by the way, there's going to be room for them.
01:25There's going to be room for them to be a wildcard team.
01:27I think the roster is a little bit better than people think.
01:29And Byron Murphy, they're so excited about Byron Murphy, their first compact, the first
01:34round pick out of Seattle.
01:35Then with the Titans, Scott, this is a brand new beginning here.
01:39We mentioned the offensive, defensive schemes.
01:41Will Levis to me, around him, rebuild offensive line.
01:44They're going to have three new starters.
