Alohi GilmanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, you know, we're just focused on getting better every day and getting to a place we want to be and we'll be there when we need to.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Steve Spagnuolo and Dave Merritt came.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
This has been a really good tackle in the secondary.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Yep.
Bob FescoHOST
It wasn't because, Oh, Seattle played this lockdown defense.
Bob FescoHOST
They, they went out there and he was lofting balls like Dave Merritt in defensive back practice.
Bob FescoHOST
just giving the guys the opportunity to get interceptions.
Bob FescoHOST
I mean, that looked like it was a practice session for Drake May with those interceptions.

speaker_4UNKNOWN
Once Steve Spagnuolo and Dave Merritt came, this has been a really good tackling secondary.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
You're coming from the outside.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Obviously, everybody does things a little bit different.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
difference maker kind of players.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
And if you get that on this defense and you couple that with Spags and you couple that with Dave Merritt, you got a chance to win a lot of football games and be really good and play in a lot of really important games because of how diverse your defense is.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
I just got to give Seattle a lot of credit for how they played and how through drafts, how smart trades and smart moves and seeing things that other teams didn't see, that's how they were able to build one of the best rosters in the National Football League.
Carrington HarrisonHOST
My name is Carrington Harrison.
Scott PuryearHOST
know,
Matt DerrickGUEST
Steve Spagnuolo and Dave Merritt, that defensive backs coach, that it sometimes takes them a while to figure out their best rotation and how everybody fits together.
Matt DerrickGUEST
So I'm not necessarily expecting this to be the best lineup and the lineup that you're going to see at the end of the season in week one.
Scott PuryearHOST
Chiefs fans, who should they fear more, the Broncos or the Chargers in the division?
Matt DerrickGUEST
If those guys can get back to where they think they should and that pass rush can improve, then it should help out the secondary.
Matt DerrickGUEST
And they got a couple of veterans, obviously linebacker and Nick Bolton and Drew Tranquil that are the heart of that defense.
Matt DerrickGUEST
Again, I think it's going to depend on getting guys healthy and Dave Merritt getting that secondary up and going quickly.
Matt DerrickGUEST
But hey, they need some luck.
Bob MurphySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And in the seventh inning, Joe Pepitone hit a two-run homer.
Bob MurphySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In the second game, it'll be Dave Merritt against Fritz Peterson.
Bob MurphySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Second game not yet underway.
Bob MurphySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Detroit three, Baltimore two after seven and a half.
Nate TaylorHOST
inseparable
Joshua BriscoHOST
inseparable and and as they should be he was incredible here their their careers benefited each other in huge ways it seems like their communication must be great but i don't know man if if they don't want to play jayden hicks if it ain't like also i don't feel too bad pointing out spags has talked about this publicly dave merritt has talked about this publicly jayden hicks has talked about this publicly It's not there yet.
Joshua BriscoHOST
Whatever that chemistry needs to be at has not yet appeared.
Joshua BriscoHOST
Hicks will play.
Josh BriscoeHOST
But if it is a Loie Gilman and Jaden Hicks.
Josh BriscoeHOST
Jaden Hicks has not ever really seemed to get the full circle of trust treatment from Spags and Dave Merritt.
Josh BriscoeHOST
However, that's gone along even in a good preseason.
Josh BriscoeHOST
He was out there a lot in the preseason.
Joshua BriscoeGUEST
Connor's been here for a while and clearly has that trust from Spagnuolo.
Joshua BriscoeGUEST
Jaden Hicks had a great preseason, but it's been a bumpy ride for him in ways that he and Spaggs and Dave Merritt have talked about publicly at the podium.
Joshua BriscoeGUEST
So I'm glad that Xavier Nwongpa made the team, but that's another UDFA that I don't really want having a huge role right out of the gate in Week 1.
Joshua BriscoeGUEST
Maybe Chris Roland-Wallace plays more safety against the Broncos if...
