1
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? Week one is finally here. It

2
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: is Hawks Live, and I'm here with no other than

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: Paul More. You're like, we always do what's upball? You're

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: out there twenty five years of doing this. They threw

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: my name on there. Hey, I was like, man, Nasa,

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: he's got game going. Two man show, man, two man show.

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Let's be excited. Man, I'm excited for the twelves out

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: there right now. It's been a long time coming. And

9
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: you know in three weeks, three weeks one, two weeks,

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: when we finally get a home game, man, it's gonna

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: be that's gonna be exciting. Preseason was good, but it's

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: not like the regular season, and this is a big one.

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: Just real quick, just letting y'all know. Indy is a

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: really good football team. Their defense is legit. We'll talk

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: more about that, but I just I'm preparing you tough

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: game in a coverage stadium. They're gonna be rocking. I

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: just I was reading their owner. One of their big

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: things is they've lost seven home openers in a row.

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: Their their theme is we are gonna win this opener,

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 1: when the opener, when the opener, maybe not home opener,

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: but they've lost seven opening games in a row. All right, Well,

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: more just gave you a little preview of the preview. Yes,

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: but now we're gonna talk about the Seahawks. Now, it's

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: been a long offseason. A lot has happened. Russell Wilson

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: had his deal, Dwayne Brown had his deal, Jamal Adams

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: had his deal, Quandre's in the mix. There was a

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: lot for us to talk about during this all season.

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: But finally they've cut the roster down to fifty three.

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Now I have my initial thoughts on this fifty three,

30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: but like always, I'm gonna defer to my guy, mister

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer initial thoughts of this fifty three. I like

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: this roster. I really like the roster. You know, even

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: when the fish and fishing, when they first got down

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: to the fifty three and made some changes. We'll talk

35
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: about that too. I think we're loaded, we're deep, we're young,

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: we're big, we're fast, we're athletic. We still got question marks.

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: We got some young guys are gonna have to go

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: out and prove it and they got to step their

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: game up. But I'm excited to see it. And you know,

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: there's well again, we'll talk about all the players, But

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I like this team. There's no reason for us not

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: to be successful. We should have a very good defense.

43
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to rot rotate. You know. We

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: gotta think we got t ten defensive linemen, so we're

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: gonna be able to rotate a bunch of those three,

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: keep them fresh. Three defensive tackles makes me a little nervous.

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: But I don't see this, Michael, as a fifty three

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: man roster. I see it as a sixty nine man

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: rosterud I am. It's very, very different than it has

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: been in the past. I mean you have Robert Candici,

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: who's on the practice squad. I mean, here's a guy

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: who was, you know, a high first round pick, you know,

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: not that many years ago. I see him sliding in

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: and playing too. They really worked the roster on what

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: can we bring onto this initial fifty three slide some

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: guys onto the eye of a were they only missed

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: three weeks rather than the whole year, because if you

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: go into IR before the fifty three man roster, you're

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: done for the year. So you know, John Schneider and

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: his crew, I mean they were working working it hard,

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: and so I look at the debt wide receiver we

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: came in. Originally we went four wide receivers, but you

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: got Penny Heart there. You've also got a fuller there.

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: We have people that we're gonna be able to move

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: in and out with different pieces. So I like it.

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: How about you. I like the fifty three, and I

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: like it for some reasons that you pointed out. They

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: got some dogs on the practice squad. They usually you

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: got guys on the practice squad who are just gonna

70
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: be serviceable during practice. You'll see what happens every now

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: and then you call a guy up if someone's injury. No,

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: these guys got some guys on the practice squad. They're like, look,

73
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: you have a good week practicing, you might just get

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the tap on the shoulder and say, look, you're gonna

75
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: play this week. So I like it in that sense.

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I also like it, and I'm gonna focus on the

77
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: defensive line just like you did, because there's depth right there,

78
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: and there's and I think you said this during the

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: preseason that there are guys on this team at the

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: defense of lion spot that will be starters elsewhere, and

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: now they're gonna be in the rotation. So if you

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: have a rotation of ten guys, maybe eight to seven

83
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: will be starters elsewhere. That makes me excited. There's one

84
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: spot where I just want to see what happens, and

85
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: that's the corner spot. I'm glad Trey Flowers gets another

86
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: opportunity because I think he was a lot better than

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: what people say or perceive him as. So he fought

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: off Trey Brown. You had, Tray Brown gets banged up, Okay,

89
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: that's fine. He fought off Witherspoon and he's still here.

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: He's surviving. So I'm anxious to see what he looks like.

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to see what DJ looks like as well. Yeah,

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: I think we we also got some guys will hit you.

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: And I think that was one of Witherspoon's downfalls is

94
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: when you come here, you're not just a cover corner.

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: You also, you know, you secure the edge. At times

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: we play you know, cover two or depending on what

97
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: kind of formation you get, you're sitting just outside a

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: tight end. You are counted in the running game. Yeah,

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 1: and if you don't come with it, if you shy

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: away at all, man, you will not be on this team.

101
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I heard some things about him that,

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe wasn't the fit. I think the other

103
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: thing is Trey he played so well in practice, you know,

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: and so that's that's not what the twelves got to see.

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: They saw a couple of plays that maybe they didn't

106
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: like him preseason. It was really to me, it was

107
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: one and it wasn't even one. So the one that

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: he got beat on the fade route, that was the

109
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: most perfect pass you could ever have. It went right

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: over his shoulder. I could have told him, maybe, yeah,

111
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: if you could have looked a little sooner. But that's

112
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: just a timing thing. He was all over the guy

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and it was a perfect throw and a perfect catch.

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't a killer. It's gonna happen at a time. So

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see does he does that translate back

116
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: to the to the actual game. Does he have confidence

117
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: in the game, because he showed he's had confidence in

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: practice and he's going up some get really good receivers

119
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: there too. So yeah, there's um but there's a lot

120
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: of question marks there are there are And before we

121
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: get deeper into this, I just want to show some

122
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: love to ben Berg, Curvin and John or Sewood. These

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: are guys we knew Ben was gonna make this team,

124
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be in the rotations, going to

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: be a special teams guy. He was good to go.

126
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: John or Sewell was the guy that we're kind of

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: waiting to see. You know, that's my guy. Every chance

128
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: I get to talk about John, I'm gonna talk about him,

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: all right. And he towards ACL he was on the bubble.

130
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: You know, who knows where his future future lives. But

131
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 1: we just want to show some love to those guys

132
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: off top. All right. So now going into the season,

133
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: all right, right now, you're looking at this roster just

134
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: overall expectations. Is this an elite roster? Are you said

135
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: there are some questions out there. Are we waiting for

136
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: those questions to be answered before we classify this ball

137
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: team as elite or average? Well, I think we know

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: what we have offensively, what we saw the first half

139
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: of the year. It's an explosive offense that you know,

140
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to duplicate that in the whole season. Yeah,

141
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: teams definitely found out what we did and said, hey

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: we got just take away the deep ball. Take away

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: the deep ball, takeaway. Russell improvising along the way, you know,

144
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: shut the running game down. You can't and you know,

145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: force him to do stuff they didn't like, and we

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't do it that well. So incomes you know, Waldron,

147
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: our new offensive coordinator. They bring in that system that

148
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: will allow him to be able to dump things off,

149
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: lots across and routes, you know, tempo whatever that means,

150
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, just but I think you know, a better

151
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: speed of the game rather than sitting there in a

152
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: huddle waiting for the call. There's fifteen seconds left, ready

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: break and by the time you get to the line,

154
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: there's like eight seconds left. There's no time to really

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: audible that. I think those days are gone. So I

156
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: think the offense is better, and there's certainly better at

157
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. There's no question bringing in Jackson. I think

158
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: it running back we're so deep, you know, and there

159
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: everybody's played well. Penny's gotta still step up and what

160
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: we'll see where that goes. And then defensively, I'll keep

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: this one real short look. Front seven's there. We already

162
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: talk about defensive line. I think we know a linebacker.

163
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: We should be really good. We got we haven't mentioned it.

164
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: With Cody Barton coming on later today on our show,

165
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: which I'm excited to have. But you know, when you

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: have Brooks and certainly Taylor now with that kind of speed,

167
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: and then you have you know, Bobby hold in the middle,

168
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: enough set on the front seven we know we have

169
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: in the safeties. Yeah, and we're gonna have an improved

170
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. I believe that he's healthy. He knows the system.

171
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Now the question Mary, we don't have any first round

172
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: picks sitting out in the corner, but I don't think

173
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: you need to. And we've never really needed that in

174
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: this defense because you know, we will play things where

175
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: we give some things throws underneath, don't give up the

176
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: deep throw, and then at times you know we're gonna

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: need to lock it down. But um, that's the question mark,

178
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that's my only one. But the talents there, they just

179
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: got to go out and prove it. Yeah. I can't

180
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: remember it once the last time there was a first

181
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: round pick at the corner spot. I mean they've done

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: the last one, last one. We're going back a long way. Yeah,

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: it's been a while, so they've shown they can get

184
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: it done without, um, the first round picks on the outside,

185
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: and that's what John Snyder and Pete Carroll does. Man,

186
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: they find they find some DBS man. Wait, was Kelly

187
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Jennings a first round pick? Nah? We didn't yet, but

188
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't draft him. No, you know what,

189
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: I think he was a second round pick. We drafted

190
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: him for sure. Remember hell, that was back in my day. No,

191
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he was first round. But

192
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm getting older, you know, first round,

193
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: second round. I know he wasn't around long enough for

194
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: a first rounder, you know, so um, but I know

195
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: our great producer Nassa will find that for us. So

196
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna bring those up, you better have the

197
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: end thirty first overall pick in the first round of

198
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: the two thousand and six draft. Six. There you go.

199
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Jene's what school NASA, University of Miami, Miami. Man, he didn't. Yeah,

200
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: that was boy. I don't want to go bad first

201
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: round pick. So this is pre Schneider. So we're good.

202
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: We can dog that one a little bit Schneider. We're good. So,

203
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: speaking of we're gonna stay the DVS man Witherspoon. We

204
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: you and I both thought highly of this man. I

205
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: mean we saw his film with the forty nine is

206
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: when he was healthy, he's long, he looks like the

207
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: type of corner that John Schneider and Pete Carroll really

208
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: go for. But it just didn't work out. Was there

209
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: something that you saw that made it just not work out?

210
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Was he not doing something? Was he not as good

211
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: at something else? Would you see? Yeah, again more behind

212
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: the scenes. You know, the physicality of the said the word.

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I would never say him being physical. Um. Maybe in

214
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the running game, but I think the biggest one he

215
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: got beat out. He got beat out by Trey Flowers

216
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: and he had a four or four and a half

217
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. That's a lot for a backup. Um.

218
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: I think the other thing is, you know some of

219
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: the you know, obviously the trade for for Jones was

220
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: was big. Um. You know they got rid of da

221
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: Marius Randall too. That one kind of threw me out.

222
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: I thought they were looking for a veteran guy and

223
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: look at them to day. It's competitive, right, sometimes you

224
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: get beat out. I actually liked the makeup of these

225
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,479
Speaker 1: five corners right now, probably at least from an athletic standpoint,

226
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: you know what I mean to me, they're really athletic.

227
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: But Witherspoon's it surprised me. We did the film session.

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: It's on the Seahawk website. I went through it. I

229
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: love the guy, I really did. I thought he had

230
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: great feet, he had unbelievable speed, he was he played

231
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the balls sceptionally. Well, you got beat bad on that

232
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: fourth down and five player. There's a deep end. You

233
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: know in the preseason game, you know that one didn't

234
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: look great. But I was against Denver and Judy and

235
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Judy runs by. He's gonna run by a lot of people.

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: I just you know, he just didn't win and get

237
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: four and a half million. You get a six round pick,

238
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: which you know Sydney Jones. I mean, that's kind of

239
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: a wash there. They probably felt there's more upside with him,

240
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm good with it. But that surprised me. Yeah,

241
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: me too. All right, enough about the defense, man, let's

242
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: talk about this offense. You know, I got more you're here.

243
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: We we hop on the first show and dive in

244
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: on the defense. But now let's look at the offense

245
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: because there's probably I wouldn't say the question marks over

246
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: there as far as personnel, but just like, okay, what

247
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: exactly are we gonna see? I felt like we saw

248
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: a glimpse of it that last preseason game. We saw

249
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: some up Temple, they slowed it down. We saw what

250
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: they do with the Jets weep, we saw the quick game.

251
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: We saw hints of the things that we have been

252
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: anxious for out here. You know, last year, or at

253
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: least the last couple of years, we felt like the

254
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: Hawks are just a down filled type of team. They're

255
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: gonna play action booth, They're gonna go downfield and take

256
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 1: a shot. I think they're still gonna do that, but

257
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: also think that they show that they can mix things

258
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: up a little bit. So when you hear the word tempo, tempo,

259
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: what what does that mean to you? You know? Or no,

260
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't like that word. To me, it's a buzz word, right,

261
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: it's the word of the day. It's you know, tempo

262
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: to me. Just I guess the way to explain it

263
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: is we're constantly in motion. Maybe that's the way. It's

264
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: just we're not sitting there where Russ is going down

265
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: to a knee in a huddle with all guys their

266
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: hands down waiting for the call. Ready break, you know,

267
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: let's let's go out there. I described and Awlson, there's

268
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, ten to fifteen seconds left on the play

269
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,599
Speaker 1: clock and there's just not enough time. I think you

270
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: will see hopefully players get in and out so Russ

271
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: can now see the defense. He's got everybody out there,

272
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: and he can really go through his progressions or checks

273
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: or more potantly audibilized along the way. And the other

274
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: thing is I think the one I always to go.

275
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: It's like a slow pitcher. If you've ever played baseball, yeah,

276
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: and you're an outfielder and you're just bored, you know.

277
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, come on, So I'm gonna ask

278
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: you a question. Preseason, they did not throw the ball

279
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: downfield at all. They did not at all. How good

280
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: is this d And do they still take the shots

281
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: like they did last year? Is this gonna be? The

282
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 1: Rams really don't take a lot of shots downfield, So

283
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious how that, you know, Paul, I think the

284
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: shots look different. The shots look like deep crosses, a

285
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: set of straight goals or straight posts, you know, because

286
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do, they're trying to influence a

287
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: defense to go right when they're going left. They're trying

288
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: to show you that jet sweep, lose outside contain, have

289
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: a linebacker bite on you, and then they throw a

290
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: crossing route twenty yards down the field. Now, if we're

291
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: again we're going in the math, which is in my

292
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: strong point Moyer, like, twenty yards down the field to

293
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: the left, you add another ten yards. That's the thirty

294
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: yard pass we're doing right there. So maybe in this

295
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: offense that is what is considered a deep pass. But

296
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: you gotta think DK Metcalf is on the outside. There

297
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: has to be a play where Walter just like, Okay,

298
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: this is the play. We got decount of backside post

299
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: or a go. It's third and ten, let's give it

300
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: a shot. Yeah, I see that deep cross gives. I

301
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: always thought the rams were very difficult to defense if

302
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: they had time. They're routes. They're hard to zone up.

303
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: You can play some man to man. So I think

304
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna set up. You may not see as many

305
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: straight goes. I think you'll set up for the go.

306
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: So yep, set up for the goal. They're still gonna

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: make some plays down filled. Me and Paul Moyer are

308
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: in agreement. That was a preview of your Seattle seahouse.

309
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: When we returned, we will preview the Indianapolis Colts that's

310
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: next right here on Hawks Live. Every Thursday, Michael Bumpus

311
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: and Paul Moyer will be right here talking about some Hawks.

312
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: That's the NFL music right there. That means it's real.

313
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: It's the season. It's not preseason, Paul Moyer, Now, it's

314
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: it is. It feels different though, you know, just three

315
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: game preseason, no starters. Yeah, we didn't have any starts.

316
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. I mean, it really hasn't happened.

317
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: I know there's some teams have done it in the past,

318
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: but I've never seen it here in Seattle. Yeah, And

319
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: it's just a it's a different it's a different world. Man.

320
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about business and now we got to adjust.

321
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: You know, what's what's going on the Seahawks. Same thing

322
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: as you know. I gotta keep our guys healthy, healthy,

323
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: for sure, keep our guys healthy. If you're listening to

324
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: us and now watching a Thursday night game, Dallas is

325
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: down sixteen to twenty one to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

326
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: But we are here to talk about these Indianapolis Colts.

327
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: And the first thing I think about when I think

328
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: of the Colts Moawyer is that run game man Jonathan

329
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: Taylor eleven hundred yards, eleven touchdowns, what five yards per carry?

330
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: This guy is something special. If you do have cardson

331
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: wins In who hasn't been practiced and coming off of

332
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: a foot injury, you have to think they have to

333
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,239
Speaker 1: rely on the run. They were probably gonna do that anyway.

334
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: This run game is gonna be tough. Yeah, they're left guard.

335
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: Nelson's a little beat up. He came back and limited

336
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: today in practice, but it looks like he'll go. We

337
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: know Carson Wentz was full today and Reich, their head coach,

338
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: said if he's full on Wednesday, he's gonna play Sunday.

339
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get right. He's never had success versus

340
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: us um, but this is a really good football team.

341
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, we'll just stay on the offensive side. I mean,

342
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: you got Doyle who you know some of you've heard

343
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: of before as a tight end. Um. You know, he's

344
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: a problem. Taylor's definitely a problem. One of the good

345
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: things is, you know, as t Y Hilton was put

346
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: on the R I R. And you know that guy

347
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: last year, you know he had over a thousand yards receiving,

348
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Well maybe he didn't actually only had seven hundred and

349
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: sixty two, but you know average almost fourteen yards. I mean,

350
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: he's the guy and the one guy that's kind of

351
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: backing him up. You got Michael Pittman junior. He's pretty

352
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: good receiver. Um, he'll be there. You got Paris Campbell

353
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: they have listed as starting. He had been nicked up.

354
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: He came back to practice today, but he's been nursing

355
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: an achilles heel. Look, they're they're beat up. So the

356
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: point getting back to Jonathan Taylor, one of the best

357
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: offensive lines out there, only sacked twenty one times last year,

358
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: and they're not going to get They're not going to

359
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: take sacks. That fits right into Carson Wentz's game. Get

360
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: rid of the football and rely on the running game

361
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: in your defense, and they got to have a spectacular defense.

362
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: They got a good defense. They got Carson Wentz, who

363
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: was with Frank Reich again. Last time they were together.

364
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: Wentz was an MVP candidate, looked good. Everybody loved him

365
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: in Philly. How quickly they turned on you and Philly surprise, right,

366
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer. But now the defense. They had the number

367
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: eight defense overall in the league last year, led by

368
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: DeForest Buckler, who was an All pro. I mean, this

369
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: guy was everywhere. Nine and a half sacks from the

370
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: interior interior lineman. Nine and a half sacks. That's pretty rare.

371
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: They also have Kellen Moore, excuse my saying that, right, Yeah,

372
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Kelly Moore, the guy. He plays more like a nickel.

373
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: He let the team with four interceptions. They got some

374
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: names on this defense. It's not like Carson Wentz is

375
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: walking into a situation where he's got to be great

376
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: and lead the team and be awesome every single down.

377
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: They got an offensive line that will protect the run

378
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: game gotta get going, and then the defense that's gonna

379
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: get after two. Yeah, they got some big names. You know.

380
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: One of them is Darius Leonard. He had one hundred

381
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: and thirty hundred and forty tackles last year on top

382
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: of three sacks. You know, so they've got a good

383
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: linebacking corps. You got roads at the corner. Don't know

384
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play. Yeah, he did not practice again today. Usually,

385
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: if you haven't practiced by Thursday, it's not a good sign.

386
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: A lot of coach you don't even want to put

387
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: you in there. But you know, here's a guy that

388
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: you know they would count on for sure to be

389
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: a bit of a lockdown corner that that's a problem

390
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: for him. If if they're not, if they don't have

391
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, they're studs healthy, it's going to be a

392
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: tough game. It's probably gonna be a low scoring game.

393
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: On top of that, the crowd's gonna be crazy. It's

394
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: their first time back. They're ready for this game. So

395
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: don't think because people are in Indianapolis, they're not thinking

396
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: about football, right. They think of other things other than basketball,

397
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: and football is big to them. They think they have

398
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: a very good team. Their owner has demanded pretty much

399
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: they win this opener, and they have high expectations going

400
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: into the season. So we gotta chin it up, you know,

401
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: strap it up with our chin straps, and it's gonna

402
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: be a physical football game. They are a good football team.

403
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I lost twenty forty twenty seven to the Buffalo Bills,

404
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: who were one win away from going to a Super

405
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Bowl against Josh Allen in the Gang. We gotta be

406
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: ready to go now. This is a game that I

407
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: think that we should win. The Seahawks should win. But

408
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be as easy as everyone thinks it is.

409
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: You gotta play every single Sunday, Moyer, you don't just

410
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: mel it in and say we got this win. You

411
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: gotta show up and play, all right. Coming up next,

412
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to seahawk A linebacker Cody Barton. Always

413
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: a good interview. Coming up next right here on Hawks Live.

414
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Hawks Alive. I'm sitting here with my

415
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: guy Paul Moyer. When I heard that music, I just

416
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: think of John Madden. I just think of John Madden,

417
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. I think of That's interesting. I mean,

418
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: obviously I go back way back to Howard Cosell and

419
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: those guys as well, but this one because of Al

420
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: michaels Is. It's really oh al now. But yeah, I

421
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: mean when I think of Monday Night football and things,

422
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, I go back Dandy Don and you know,

423
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: Howard Cosell. I mean, that was that was entertainment. It

424
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: was entertainment. It's hard to get that done nowadays. You know,

425
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk knows and all that stuff and

426
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: hardcore football. And it worked back then. Hey, blame it

427
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: on the Internet. Everyone has access to data, everyone has

428
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: the answers to the questions, and everybody's a coach. Mayer

429
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: you actually were a coach, though I am, and so

430
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: I always get to trump you whenever we're in a disagreement.

431
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: Now you know it's not true at all. All right,

432
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: So we're waiting on Cody Barton and join us. And

433
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Cody Barton has been one of our favorites. I feel

434
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: like we both really like Cody Barton. I got a

435
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: chance to meet him when he was a rookie. He's

436
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: got this Dave Wyman look in his eye. That's why

437
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: Dave Wyman loves him. He's got that little look, that

438
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: twinkling his eye that says, look, I will run through you.

439
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm not tackling you. I'm going to run through you, Dave.

440
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting in Dave Wyman's seat right now, keeping

441
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: it nice and warm. And you're right. He is probably

442
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: his favorite players, Cody Barton, and I think Cody knows it,

443
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: and Dave said, I'm not ashamed to admit it. And

444
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: they do have a personality back when they were I

445
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: remember when Dave was a rookie. I was in my

446
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: maybe fourth or fifth year at the time, and Dave

447
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: was all football. He was serious, and I would try

448
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: to tease him. He didn't like to be teased. Dave

449
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: was a big man. He was two hundred and fifty

450
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: plus pounds. Dave could run. I mean he was you know,

451
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: he was four or five guys, you know, particularly before

452
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: his knee injury, he could really run. Yes, they I

453
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: will run through that wall for you. And Cody is

454
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. I love reading stuff

455
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: on him. And you know his old coach at Utah

456
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: how much he loves him too, and you know coaches

457
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: just I mean, he's that dream player, you know, you know,

458
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: it's it's all football for him and you can count

459
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: on him. And he's a really good player. And he

460
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: needs to get some playing time. Yeah. I mean his

461
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: first year he figured out all three positions, at least

462
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: assignment wise. There's nothing like experience. He still got to

463
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: go out there and take on guards and slip the

464
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: slip the blog, make the tackle in the backfield. But

465
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: the first thing you can do to get on the

466
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: field is just know what to do. And coaches ain't

467
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: gonna trust you. If you don't know what to do,

468
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get out there. So I feel like

469
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: he's been moving in the right direction, has been a

470
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: so ascend to where he is now. kJ isn't here anymore,

471
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: we know for sure, But we have the man himself

472
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: on the line. Cody Barton, what's up, man? What's going on? Hey?

473
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Appreciate you taking time out of your day. I know

474
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: you guys are getting ready for Week one going down

475
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: to Indy. And the first thing I thought about when

476
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: I think of Cody Barton, man, I'm like, man, he's

477
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: entering his third year. And I remember my third year

478
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: in high school how things clicked and started slowing down.

479
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: I remember my third year in college how things clicked

480
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: and are starting to slow down. How do you feel

481
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: your third year in the NFL? Is it similar or

482
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: is it just a different deal? Yeah? No, I feel

483
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: like going to my third years things like you said,

484
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like for me as well, you know,

485
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: things have definitely slowed down a lot. I feel like

486
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: going to the last year, things slowed down, and then

487
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: now going to this year, things have slowed done even more.

488
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: And so you know, I'd achieve that just to you know,

489
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: learning and growing with experience and you know, as I

490
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: grow as a player, And yeah, I feel like this year,

491
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, things are slowed down a lot. Well, plus

492
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: you're like an old and now you know, I mean

493
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: you got Darryl Taylor in there, You've got Jordan Brooks.

494
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: You're you're like an old veteran. So you're definitely not

495
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: a rookie guy looking for a direction. Yeah, yeah, I

496
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: ain't know a rookie, but I always tamble. Oh dude,

497
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean I only I only got a year on

498
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: those guys. Well, you know, you're you're more of experience,

499
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Most definitely now you're you're gonna play

500
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: this year. Man um kJ is no longer with the team.

501
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: He signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Um just talking

502
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: about what he meant to to you in this your development,

503
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I would assume that you would have watched this guy

504
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: work every day and kind of pick up some nuggets. Yeah,

505
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: I would definitely, And now you know, I'd always pick

506
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: his brain and ask him questions. And you know, having

507
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: Cage in the room with us, he was awesome. He

508
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: was always he was an open book and willing to

509
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: always share, you know, kids with the trade and information

510
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: in this nuggets of the game, and you know things

511
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: that he's learning. You know, with those ten years of

512
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: experience that you have when I was with him. You know,

513
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: that's you know, very very valual information and you know

514
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: the things that he taught me and just who he

515
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: was as a person as a player. You know, it

516
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: was fun to be with him, you know what. I'm

517
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: happy for him and that he's contuting to play us

518
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, But yeah, being with kJ was it

519
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was It was fun. About my third

520
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: or fourth year in the league, I had two veteran

521
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: safeties that I was backing up and the coaches had

522
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: to come in and said, Paul, do you believe you

523
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: can start in this league? And the reason they said

524
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: that as they said, we we need you to compete

525
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: to start because we want you to start. So I'm

526
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: just curious one where you surprised kJ wasn't resigned, And

527
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: did they talk to you about it that, Hey, you

528
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: know what we're we're not going to bring him back.

529
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: You're going to really get the opportunity to to start

530
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: playing more. Was there any conversations about that. Um? No,

531
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, I realized, you know,

532
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: if they didn't bring him back, that was there was

533
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna be an opportunity. And so there actually wasn't no

534
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: real com versation about it because they didn't know it first.

535
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring them back or not, and um, but

536
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: that be instead, you know, whether they brought them back

537
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: or not. You know, I'm always and just just my mindsets,

538
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to compete no matter who it is.

539
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to battle and always looking to be starter.

540
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, Cody, Now I asked you about you know,

541
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: what is life being on the field your third season,

542
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: but what about the off season? Because I would I

543
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: would think that you learn more about your body on

544
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: how to prepare your mind, your spirit, your physical How

545
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: is your off season changed over the years. You know,

546
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: I learned a lot After my first year, I stayed

547
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: up here the whole time just and also at the

548
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: same time, I was of COVID and stuff kind of

549
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: locked down, which is kind of weird. But it feel

550
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: like this this off season, I really got my routine

551
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: and really took care of myself both physically and mentally.

552
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: Went down to train a bomb Ritos down in Miami

553
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: for a little bit, got out of that Utah's now

554
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: and then also in the summer or finished my training

555
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: off in Utah at Penalty Performance, and I actually like

556
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: training Utah as well because you got the higher elevation.

557
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: So I feel like when I come back to um,

558
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: come back down here to sea level, you know, I

559
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: feel like I'm just flying a run for days. But

560
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the biggest thing that helped me body

561
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: wise was pilates, um and I've been doing that for

562
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: years though, but just really talking, my body this year

563
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: is clicking and smooth and healthy and just sprungle around

564
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,320

Speaker 1: general was great. Is do the Seahawks? Is that something

566
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: they promote pilates or is that something you really do

567
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: more away from the facility. Now, that's something I do

568
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: away from the facility. Actually, I own a reformer here

Speaker 1: get away from that end when you are hunting fishing.

590
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: Have you found your spot out here? First? The snow question.

591
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: I like the snow. I like to change of seasons

592
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: of growing up in Utah. But at the same time,

593
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: you know we've been and not it doesn't get that

594
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: cold here in Seattle, but I feel like once the

595
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: rain season comes, you know, it's everything's wet all the

596
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: time and it's kind of just it's kind of chilly

597
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: out all the time. So then I go back after

598
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: the season to visit my family and stuff and Utah

599
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: and it's way colder and there's just a ton of

600
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: snow on the ground. So I'll go back for a

601
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: few weeks visit family and stuff like that. But then

602
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: after that, I'm like, all right, I need to go

603
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: get some warmth. That's why I've been on the floor

604
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: in getting the sun. You know, yes I do. I

605
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: went the Arizona States, so yes, I would be there.

Speaker 1: I miss I miss that son. Well, look, we know

610
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: your dad played baseball and football but was drafted by Toronto.

611
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: But you know what's playing at Utah? Your mom? Is

612
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: it Mickey? Is that how you say your name? Yes,

613
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Mickey Mickey is a legend at Utah, both in basketball

614
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: and volleyball, and I believe she's in the Hall of

615
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: Fame there. Your your brother, Jackson is I think he's

616
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: on the practice squad at for the Giants. He's an

617
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: offensive tackle six seven, three hundred pounder. Um, pretty pretty

618
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: big guy. And then Danny, who's just finished her senior

00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's plaud he's lifting, running, or even

627
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: just you know, going to play basketball or whatever. Do

628
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: we go? We always do sit together as a family.

629
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: And then Charles a little brother Lander, And I don't know,

630
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: he's got a ton of potential. He's ben a good player,

631
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: but I just want him to keep his head down

632
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: right now. He's you know, he's he's a high recruit

633
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: and there's all these offers coming in and it's than that,

634
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: and I don't want his head to get big, you

635
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, well I was. I was

636
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: curious about that because your brother Jackson, who's who's much

637
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: more mellow than you. Yeah, you're you're the more intense guy.

638
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: Where where does he fit in between those personalities? Oh? Man?

639
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: I would say, Yeah, me and my older brother Jackson

640
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: were opposite personality wise. I mean, yeah, he's a little

641
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: more mellow but super friendly and he can talk it

642
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: up as well. But I would say, yeah, I'm more

643
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: intense than Lander. I mean he's he's I'd say Lando, though,

644
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: is the most mellow, confident, youngest kid. Well he's youngest brother. Yeah,

645
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: play back, you know. But I would say, man, I

646
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I'd say Lander's the most mellow. I'm obviously

647
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: most intense, and then Jackson in the middle, and I'd

648
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: say my sister, she's more like me. Really. That must

649
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: be fun. Good competition there, all right, Cody. Yeah, we all,

650
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: no matter what we're doing, like to mess around and compete.

651
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: The Bartons get after. That's what I'm hearing right now,

652
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Cody Barton. Man, we absolutely we appreciate you. We expect

653
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: you to get after. You're one of our favorites here. Man,

654
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: you have a good night, and uh man go to

655
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: go to Indian Get it done, man, let's do it.

656
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys, I appreciate it. Thank you for having me.

657
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: No problem, man, I've been going. That was Cody bard Man,

658
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: one of our favorite guys on the team. No, I

659
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: just think he's gonna be a special player. It's just

660
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: finally I've said, he just needs the opportunity he's gonna

661
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: get him this year, we didn't get a chance to

662
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: really say ask him, how are they gonna play you guys,

663
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: because you know you're gonna have a bit of a

664
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: five man front at times with Taylor And where does

665
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: he fit in? Is at middle? Do they give a

666
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: break to Bobby at times as he slept? There's so

667
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: many things they're going on, but he gonna play. Yeah,

668
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. We're gonna see number fifty seven out

669
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: there and coming up next we're gonna talk to no

670
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: other than the professor, Professor mister John Clayton right here

671
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: on Hawks Live. So people have kind of anointed Tampa

672
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: Bay six or seventeen to no and you know they're

673
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a Super Bowl chance. Just your thoughts on

674
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: how they've played tonight and if you think they're still

675
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: that that Super Bowl for sure contender. Oh, there's no

676
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: doubt they're the Super Bowl for sure contender because they've

677
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: got Tom Brady and they got theoretically a good defense.

678
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: That defense isn't showing up tonight. You know they aren't

679
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: getting pressure on Dak Prescott. But the secondary is so

680
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: banged up. I mean, what they're injured with like three

681
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: starters in the secondary, and so they're so vulnerable. I mean,

682
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: right now, they're at the stage where they're taking practice

683
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: squad players from a couple of days ago and having

684
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: them out there in that starting rotation at cornerback. So

685
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: it's like that's a concern, and they've got injuries at

686
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: safety that has to be a concern, and so that

687
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: does leave them vulnerable to the passing game. But you know,

688
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of amazed to see that. You know,

689
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: here's two teams that you would think would be running

690
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: to Balmore and neither's running to Balmore. They're changing the game, Jacon,

691
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: They're changing the game. Now, let's let's talk about these Seahawks.

692
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: Me and Moyer are pretty confident in this fifty three

693
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: man roster. If there is a position group that we're

694
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: kind we're kind of trying to wait and see what happens,

695
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: it's that corner position. What are your thoughts on the court?

696
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: I would agree, I mean that's the big question mark

697
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: right now. I think they can be good enough because

698
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: I think they put enough resources into it. I mean,

699
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: it's not like they put big money deals or anything else.

700
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the big money deal was Akello Witherspoon, who

701
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: ends up being traded to Pittsburgh after a four million

702
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: dollars guarantee. But I think the fact that you know,

703
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: they do like DJ Reid. I mean, even though the

704
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: fans aren't in favor of him trade. Flowers has had

705
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: a very good training camp. May showed him a couple

706
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: of the preseason games on a couple of plays, but

707
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I think he's done well. They have the option of

708
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: using Sydney Jones. You know, they certainly do have Google

709
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Amani for the slot. They have Marquis Player for the slot.

710
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: So I think they have a lot of combinations that

711
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: they can use. And then, of course, one of the

712
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: huge things in the secondary was getting Quandre Digs to

713
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: at least redo his contract a little bit and then

714
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: get back off the hold in and be available. So

715
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: now they have two Pro Bowl safeties and we'll see

716
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: where they are at corner. Well, let's talk about that

717
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: with Quandre Dregs. They did some type of restructure. What

718
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: did happen in that deal, Well, basically what they did

719
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: is they took five million plus of his signing bonus

720
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: or of his base salary, converted that into signing bonus,

721
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: and it looks as though, you know, they gave him

722
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: avoidable year next year. Now he's a free agent, just

723
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: like Dwayne Brown is. Wayne Brown got seven point five.

724
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: But you know what that ended up doing. It's saved

725
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: three point five million dollars of cap room on the

726
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: Brown deal, two point five million dollars on the deal

727
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: for Digs, and so all of a sudden, their number

728
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: for the cap went from twelve into the sevent teams,

729
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: which is actually pretty good. And so you know, I

730
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: thought it's kind of ironic that, you know, one of

731
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: the things John Snyder likes to have, and he's never

732
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: had this much money as far as cap room, particularly

733
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: one eighty two point five cap to go pick up

734
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: the things if needed during the season. But I thought

735
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: it was kind of ironic that it was Brown and Diggs,

736
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: because you know, those are two guys that they picked

737
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: up during the season and we're making decent money. I mean,

738
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: Brown of course coming as one of the higher paid

739
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: left tackles, I mean, he comes over. And then of

740
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: course the next move was getting Diggs, who was a

741
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: six point two million dollar contract, and then last year

742
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: they picked up Carlo's dunlap, and so you know they

743
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: have the ability if needed to pick up things, you know,

744
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: with injuries or whatever, or if they just say, you

745
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: know what we need, we need more at the cornerback position,

746
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: we can do something later on. Let's say the fifty

747
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: three man roster. Just just your thoughts on it, because

748
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: there's been some changes, and you know, I always say

749
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: this early. Isn't a fifty three man Rosses is sixty

750
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: eight sixty nine man roster worth the practice squad. Just

751
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts and maybe even a few surprises that you

752
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: know popped up for you. Well, I mean it's I mean,

753
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that Alex Collins made it because I

754
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: think right now he's the leading candidate to be the

755
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: backup running back because I think he's done better than

756
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny. He's a forceful runner, and I think he's

757
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: a good runner. Certainly, I think, I mean, you're and again,

758
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: it's not like the rosters totally settled right now, because

759
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: you still have a few young guys, you know, practice

760
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: squad caliber guys that are on the roster and they

761
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: may be holding the sponse for some other players. I

762
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: mean on the sixteen man practice squad. I mean it's

763
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: all young guys that no veterans or anything like that.

764
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: So so there was no surprises there. In fact, the

765
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: weird stat is at league wide, you know, particularly, is

766
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: this bad draft, and it was a horrible draft. Is

767
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: that what you end up having is that there was

768
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: only like two dozen undrafted players that ended up making

769
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: fifty three man rosters and so, which is very unusual.

770
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: There's probably a few more here than there were on

771
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: other teams. But overall, I think you can see they

772
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of numbers at the cornerback position. Clearly

773
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: they've added to the rosters significantly, you know, because here

774
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: they get Gerald Everett, who I think is going to

775
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: be a good tight end, Gabe Jackson, who's a maweling

776
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: type of guard. You know, they were able to you know,

777
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: Carry Hyder who's had two two years where he showed

778
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: he can get eight sacks in a season. Darryl Taylor

779
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: now as healthy, looks like he can be a factor.

780
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: So I think they've added enough right there they can

781
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, do some good things. All right, John, let's

782
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: talk about quarterbacks. He got Carson wentz M. He's going

783
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: to be the play caller over there in Indianapolis. You

784
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: got some quarterbacks moving around, you got Golf Stafford, Darnold

785
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: bridge Water. Which one of these guys are most interesting

786
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: to you and have the opportunity to win right now? Well,

787
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think you certainly look at Matthew Stafford.

788
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to win because he's never been

789
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: around this much talent. Now, again, the talent on the Rams,

790
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion isn't equal to where it was last

791
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: year because to get the Stafford deal. And and I

792
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: was funny because I saw Tony Dungee was talking about

793
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: this tonight that how good that Stafford looks throwing the

794
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: football because he's been down there enough to see him throw,

795
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: and so that kind of surprised him. And again, it's

796
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: kind of like the Tom Brady thing from a year ago.

797
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: You know, Tom never had as much offensive weapons as

798
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: he had in Tampa Bay. You know, they didn't have

799
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: those type of receivers. They had certainly two tight ends

800
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: that were good at different times. But there's now more

801
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: weapons that he can work with, and of course there's

802
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: more talent that Stafford has but the problem is, you know,

803
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: when you lose five starters, four or five starters on defense,

804
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: and you lose you know, cam Acres, who is going

805
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: to have a breakout season at running back, you lose Everett,

806
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: and you lose a couple other guys you're not as strong,

807
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: and then Brandon Staley ends up leaving to go and

808
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: getting a head coaching job with the Chargers. So I

809
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: like Stafford a lot. Certainly, I think Jimmy Garoppolo is

810
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: going to bounce back. I think he's going to do

811
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: some good things this year. We'll see where it's going

812
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: to be for Kyler Murray. But again, when you look

813
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: at the NFC West, I mean this this division is

814
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: just absolutely loaded. And because you've got four teams right

815
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: now that you can actually say or playoff contenders, John,

816
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: it's that time. It's got about a minute. But what's

817
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: in your mind? What do you want to talk about? Well,

818
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 1: I think the big thing to talk about is what's

819
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: going on contract wise around the linked in the last

820
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: couple of days, because first off, I mean, it's been

821
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: a monster year as far as a week right now

822
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: for contract reduce. I mean I counted up there was

823
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: at least fourteen redund contracts where they come back and

824
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: they replace base salary with signing bonus. Two of them

825
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: obviously with the Seahawks. I think you know that that's

826
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: kind of fascinating to me because you know, usually that

827
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: doesn't happen this late. He usually happens earlier. But a

828
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: lot of teams are freeing up as much cap room

829
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: as they possibly can. The other thing is the amazing

830
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: story in Baltimore with the injuries. I mean here they've

831
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: now had four ACL injuries. They had two today on

832
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: back to back place. Marcus Peters, their best cornerback, blew

833
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: out his ACL and then Gus Edwards the bus he

834
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: ends up blowing out his ACL. You know they don't

835
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: have you know, certainly there their top running back JK. Dobbins,

836
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: he blew out in a CL so it's a mess

837
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: or top three running backs are out. I don't think

838
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: I've ever seen that. Well, John, should be interesting this year.

839
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: We are glad to get this season going off right

840
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: and like always, you keep a funky John. Okay, sounds good?

841
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up next, me and Moya will go

842
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: toe to toe, face to face. We will talk that

843
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: talk coming up next on Hawks Live, It's time to talk.

844
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: That talk with Michael Bumpus and Paul Moyer on Hawks Live,

845
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: the moment you all have been waiting for. It's time

846
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: to talk. That talk. Me and Paul Moyer getting the ring.

847
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: We go back and forth. What do you feel? How

848
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: do I feel? Get it off your chest and say

849
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: what's your chest? Moyer say what's your chest? All right?

850
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: The question I got for you, mister Moyer. Carson Wentz

851
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: will never look like he did in twenty seventeen. What

852
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: do you think? Well? I would say in twenty nineteen

853
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: he was pretty close, by the way I mean. In

854
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, may Rita's stats for you. He completed sixty

855
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: percent of his passes. Today, that's like you're that's a loser.

856
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: But he had thirty three touchdown, seven interception, They had

857
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback rating one on one, and his team won, right,

858
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: they won a super Bowl. That's why he got you

859
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: know why you got all the accolades. And twenty nineteen

860
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: he had four thousand yards. Remember twenty seventeen, thirty two

861
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: hundred nineteen, four thousand, twenty seven intercept, twenty sevente seven interceptions.

862
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Played pretty well but no, you're not getting back there,

863
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: not getting back And here's why you don't get more

864
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: accurate you either. No, yeah, you do. You work on mechanics,

865
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: your your base. There's things you can do there. It's

866
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna use golfing again. Okay, it's like golfing.

867
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna be a scratch golfer again. That doesn't

868
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: matter what I can do. I'm just I'm limited at

869
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: what I can do. I believe throwing the same way.

870
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: It's like pitchers. If they can't throw over a strike,

871
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: its not very many of them. Eventually just nail it

872
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: the whole time. And I think the same thing with throwing.

873
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: You come out and you're completing fifty high fifties, low

874
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: sixties out of college. Now to manch a red flag.

875
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: It happens every once in a while. Jared Allen, he

876
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: was a fifty eight percenter at coming out of Wyoming,

877
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: and last year he was at sixty seven sixty eight percent,

878
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: So it can change. But twenty twenty, Man completed fifty

879
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: seven point four percent of his passes in the NFL.

880
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: That's unheard him. You know. He had sixteen intercent or

881
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: fifteen interceptions, sixteen touchdowns. I'm not saying he can't get

882
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: back to maybe two thousand sixteen numbers, you know where

883
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: it's sixty two percent completion. But I don't ever see

884
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: him thirty three touchdowns, seven interceptions complete the sixty five percent.

885
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: So my answer is no, rans is no. My answer

886
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: is most definitely he will once again look like he

887
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: did in twenty seventeen. I'll tell you why, Misster moyets.

888
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: He has a running game. Back in twenty seventeen, he

889
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: had Lagheret Blend, who has seven hundred and sixty six yards.

890
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: When I think of Laga Blunt, I think a boys

891
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: he stayed him sucking a dude in the chin. I

892
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: don't think of an eleven hundred yard gainer like he

893
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: has in Jonathan Taylor. I think he'll be good to

894
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: go there now. He also has a top ten defense.

895
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, that defense was ranked number three, so

896
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: he's back to I can lean on this defense. Also,

897
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: he has the coach who is the Carson Wentz whisperer.

898
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: Last time he was with Frank Wright, he was bawling.

899
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: They're vibing, kind of like me and you when we're

900
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: in the studio. We're vibing, baby, That's what Carson Wentz

901
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: and Frank White do. They right, They vibe so because

902
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: of the coaching, because of the run game, and he

903
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 1: has a defense he can lean on. I think we'll

904
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: see twenty seventeen Carson Wentz again, just not week one. Yeah.

905
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: I think if you ask me that question next week,

906
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: I might have a different answer. But since we're playing

907
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: them the first week, then my answer is better than

908
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: your answer. All right, So with debating this one, but

909
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: staying out. A quarterback has some accuracy problems. So I'm

910
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna go with Cam Newton here. Will he I don't

911
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: want to even say will he be a starter again

912
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: in the NFL. As much as I love Kim, I

913
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: don't see it happening. I just don't see it happening

914
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: in today's game. Unless you play for Baltimore or Tennessee,

915
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: you have to be able to sit in the pocket

916
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: and throw the full ball. I just don't see that happening.

917
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Canny go to Tennessee, not Ryan Tannehill. Kee's playing the

918
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: way that he does. Canny go to Baltimore. Heck no,

919
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has that spot lockdown for five to six years.

920
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: It has to be the right situation for him. And

921
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: even if you are asked to hand the ball off

922
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: and run, that's just not what he does anymore. You know,

923
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: he's an eighties baby, he's what thirty two, thirty three

924
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: years old. He's getting up there in dog years in

925
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. So I just don't see it happening. But

926
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: I do see him holding a clipboard and making a

927
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: lot more money while he's here. That'll be interesting. He's

928
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: coming out tomorrow with the press conference and he's gonna

929
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: talk about his thoughts on that. He hasn't really gave

930
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: too much, but there is one thing here that I saw,

931
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: says Cam Newton reiterates on Instagram. There's not thirty two

932
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,959
Speaker 1: guys that are better than me, which I would probably

933
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: agree with. But here's my might challenge challenge with with

934
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: Cam now. Because I was pulling for him at New England.

935
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, I really thought, you know, he had matured

936
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: and you're hoping for that that second chance where you know,

937
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: second part of your career. And I thought, okay, he

938
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: completed a high percentage of his passes last year, you know,

939
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: but can can't run like he used to, and that

940
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: was that was the X factor. When he's in a huddle,

941
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: he's the biggest man in the huddle, he's usually the tallest,

942
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: and he's built like he's built like a true statue.

943
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an impressive human being when you're standing

944
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: next to him. But if you don't have that running game,

945
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: then you better be able to complete sixty five percent

946
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: of your passes. And that doesn't mean dancing dunk. Yeah,

947
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: I means I gotta throw it down field too. I

948
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: gotta hit that deep in and that that contested throw.

949
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say no, here's my question. He says,

950
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: there aren't thirty two guys better than him. I'm looking

951
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: at all the teams in the league right now, and

952
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a spot so where I'd say, Okay,

953
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you cam over this guy, Moya. I don't see.

954
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't see anywhere where I would say investing in

955
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: the future, he's thirty two. Let's let's keep it in perspective.

956
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take cam over this guy. I don't see it.

957
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: There's so many good young quarterbacks now, there's so many

958
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: good ones. Yeah, and they're usually on teams that aren't

959
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: winning right now, So are you gonna bring Kim to No,

960
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: you're not. You're going to develop a quarterback. And so

961
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: now you're looking at Kim to be on a playoff

962
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: contending team. They've all got pretty much quarterbacks. I go,

963
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: there's a couple maybe that, you know, if there's an injury,

964
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: he gets shot. I just don't see him becoming a starter,

965
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: that is me. I don't think he'll be on a

966
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: team and maybe get a start. I think his day

967
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: is a starter over and I think it's gonna be

968
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: hard to get on a team unless he says I'm

969
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: willing to pay for a minimum salary. I agree, Okay,

970
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: next one. Bill Belichick will eventually win another Super Bowl

971
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones at QB. This is an interesting situation.

972
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: That great question. Come on, I know I'm part of

973
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: me is thinking of what you're gonna say. I'm gonna

974
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: say no, okay, And the reason why I'm gonna say no,

975
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: it's it's really hard. You know, they're gonna have to

976
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: unseek Kansas City, right The ASC has a lot of

977
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: really good young quarterbacks right now that maybe they're not winning,

978
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: but they're they're loaded with top guys there and I

979
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: just think it's really hard. I also think, look last year,

980
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: man did Tom Brady make a statement? He went and

981
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. I really thought Belichick would be

982
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: the one that did. And it shows that, Look, you

983
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: gotta have players to win. You just don't get to

984
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: magically go out and coach teams to super Bowls or

985
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Now, they did better than I think a

986
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: lot of people thought. But I'm gonna say, no, it's

987
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: just too hard. Mac Jones may be a great quarterback,

988
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: but he better surround himself with a great team. And

989
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: they're not quite there yet. And I don't know if

990
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: Belichick is he gonna coach into his seventies, and plus

991
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, so i'm gonna say times against him.

992
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say most definitely, they are gonna win the

993
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I look at Mac Jones and he is

994
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: the most composed rookie in the pocket I've seen in

995
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: a long time. This is mechanics. The way he steps

996
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: up in the pocket, keeps his eyes down the field.

997
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: He's throwing darts. And I just think about what Bill

998
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: Belichick did with Tom Brady, and I see a mini

999
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. This is a robot this is this is

1000
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: not real what we're seeing in mac Jones right now.

1001
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: Now he's got to prove it once he gets out

1002
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: in week one. But so far, I see a guy

1003
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: who resembles Tom Brady, and Belichick has shown I can

1004
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: work with the average athlete in the pocket who's gonna

1005
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: show up early, leave late and do all these things.

1006
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: I'll surround him with some pieces. Last year they had

1007
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: eight guys opt out because of COVID in New England,

1008
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: so we didn't really get to see what their defensive

1009
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: offense could truly look like. I don't see it happening

1010
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: anytime soon. Pat Mahomes has to fall off. You know.

1011
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: It's all about Pat Mahomes and Tom Brady. They run

1012
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: the league right now. And Aaron Jones. I mean seeing

1013
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, They're all getting older. I give

1014
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: this kid four or five years and he's gonna be

1015
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: in the mix. Are you on that round? But we're

1016
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: still play We're still boxing him. I'm gonna throw this

1017
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: one out, mainly because the season hasn't started. It gets

1018
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: talked about a bunch of and you and I are

1019
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: never gonna talk about this again. But I'm gonna talk

1020
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 1: about because it's in the news and it's talked about

1021
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: often as well. Russell Wilson win his first NFL MVP

1022
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, I don't want to say for

1023
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: his career twenty twenty one. Unfortunately, No, pal Moore, I

1024
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think he is because I see

1025
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: this offense, and I see an offense that's not gonna

1026
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: be as explosive as the offense last year because all

1027
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: the shots they took down field. I see an offense

1028
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna put together long, sustaining drives and his athletes

1029
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: are gonna work for him, and it's not gonna be attractive.

1030
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: Right to win MVP at the quarterback spot, man, you

1031
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: gotta flick it like Aaron you gotta dive and throw

1032
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: light Pat Mahomes, or you gotta dominate like Tom Brady,

1033
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: And I just don't see Russell doing that in this office.

1034
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be elite top tier? Most definitely? But

1035
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: this year I have to see this offense first, and

1036
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, I think it's not gonna happen

1037
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah. Well, first of all, we haven't had

1038
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: a MVP win the Super Bow in like twenty years.

1039
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: So I do not want him to win it. Not

1040
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: that I'm superstitious. I think last year, the way he started,

1041
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: he finally people said, okay, he is capable of winning

1042
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: an MVP because he can throw the big numbers out.

1043
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: But I think the reason why the answers know, you

1044
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: have to be one of the top records in the league,

1045
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: and you gotta throw for a lot of yards, and

1046
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball more. I don't see him

1047
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: getting quite as many yards. He's gonna have to have

1048
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: the high touchdowns. But the big one is we're in

1049
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: the toughest division in the league. They're gonna be some quarterbacks.

1050
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna win fourteen games this year because of the

1051
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: seventeen games schedule, they're gonna be some fourteen gamers. So

1052
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: if he didn't get the fourteen with those numbers, I

1053
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: think this year you just I just think the odds

1054
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: are stacked against it. So I'm gonna say no as well.

1055
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: All right, we agree that let's talk that talk man.

1056
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: Me and me and Moyer look forward to this every

1057
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: single week. We look forward to hanging out with you

1058
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: guys as well. When we come back. We will answer

1059
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: the question, will Jimmy Garoppolo be replaced by Trey Lance

1060
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: before they played the Seahawks. That's coming up next right

1061
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 1: here on Hawks Live. Welcome back to Hawks Live. I

1062
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: and Michael Bump is hanging out with Paul Moyer. If

1063
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: you're watching this Thursday night game, there was a battle

1064
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: going on. Dallas twenty eight, excuse me, Dallas twenty six

1065
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers twenty eight. Dak Prescott's going for over three

1066
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards. Tom Brady has four touchdown tosses himself. We

1067
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: got a game. Way to open up the season, Way

1068
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: to open up the season. Yeah, we had that earlier

1069
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: segment we were talking about Russell Wilson would be at MVP.

1070
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: Nah that they didn't even run the ball of the Cowboys.

1071
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: They ran at nine times. They got fifteen carries right now,

1072
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: Elliott has nine himself. But Elliot, you gotta feed him

1073
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: twenty feed him twenty five again. Maybe they went into

1074
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: this game thinking the only way we can win this game,

1075
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: we gotta throw over the top. But that's a lot

1076
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: of that's a lot of passes in the first half,

1077
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of passes in the first half. Let's talk

1078
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: about a guy who could toss the rock and art

1079
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: division jim Garoppolo. Now they the forty nine ers drafted

1080
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: a young man by the name but Trey Lance to

1081
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: replace him eventually. It's just when is this move going

1082
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: to happen? Trey Lance only played one game his last

1083
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: year at North Dakota. He's not very experienced, but you

1084
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: look at the physical talent is there. Moyer's there. But

1085
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo say what you want about him. He's always hurt.

1086
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: He's not going to toss the ball thirty forty yards

1087
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: down the field, but he wins ball games when he

1088
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: is healthy. Do you think Trey Lance is going to

1089
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: be running the show Week four when the Niners played

1090
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I hope so, because that means Garoppolo has

1091
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: played like Garoppolo. And look, I've never been a big

1092
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: fan of Garoppolo. He's capable with a really good team

1093
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: and if he's got time and all those crossing routes

1094
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: and everything between, really the numbers, you know, he's pretty accurate.

1095
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: People have found out his weakness. You got to force

1096
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: him to throw the ball downfield contested. I mean, you

1097
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: gotta have contested coverage and you gotta force him to

1098
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: throw outside the numbers towards the sideline. He's not very

1099
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: accurate on that um. But if he's healthy, I don't

1100
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: see Trey landstarting. I just don't. And part of it

1101
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: is he's very young. He didn't play last year. He

1102
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: sat out because of the COVID thing, and really more

1103
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: the FCS didn't play really last year, did more of

1104
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: the spring game, so he took himself out of that.

1105
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: So he's missed all of that. On top of that,

1106
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: he's just not ready. I watched him in preseason. Now

1107
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: he's electric. Yeah, we look two three years from now.

1108
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: I get why they drafted him. You know, electric arm,

1109
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: electric feet, us. He's gonna be really good. But it's

1110
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: just not this year. How long do you wait? What

1111
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: if Garoppolo comes out, they go into I hope so,

1112
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: and you have no choice about to play the young

1113
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 1: man van Well. I think a lot of depends on

1114
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking earlier. To me, it's at

1115
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: the Ford Niners are playing great defense. Garoppolos's he's your guy.

1116
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're gonna dunk, You're gonna dunkum, he's

1117
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna hand the football off. They they're running games

1118
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: extremely difficult, you know, if they're running those fly sweep

1119
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: or jet sweeps or whatever we want to call him. Yeah,

1120
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: they're they're a tough one to battle for. I don't

1121
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: see Trey lance unless they start off you know, one

1122
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: and two. The offense is really stagnant, and it could.

1123
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're and defensively, they've lost their

1124
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. You know, he's gone. He's that the Jets

1125
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: now is a head coach, you know. So we'll see

1126
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: how that'll play out. But simple answer for me is no,

1127
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think he's quite ready. And again, if

1128
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: he's starting on week four, good, that's got I think

1129
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: that's good for us. I think I think he will start.

1130
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: I just Jimmy hasn't shown me enough in the recent

1131
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: years for me to believe that one he's going to

1132
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: be healthy and too that he's gonna be explosive enough

1133
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: to make management in the head coach believe that this

1134
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: is our guy going forward. Though, I think Trey is

1135
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: going to be the guy. Okay, well we'll we'll we'll

1136
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: talk about that again on the Thursday night before week four,

1137
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: unless we're playing on Thursday night, which who knows. I

1138
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: don't know the schedule. Let me ask you this. There's

1139
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of in our division. U A lot of

1140
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: guys left that were defensive coordinators, offensive coordinators, running back coordinators,

1141
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: passing game coordinators. We've got two of them, you know.

1142
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: We took two from the Rams and the Rams, well,

1143
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: I would stay with Sandracio. San Francisco lost their defensive coordinator.

1144
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: The one that was really odd to me, or what

1145
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: was interesting, was Brandon Staley, who's the head coach now

1146
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: for the LA Chargers. And I was watching him when

1147
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: we played him in that last preseason game. He looked thirty,

1148
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean really young, and five years ago he's coaching

1149
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 1: in D three. Sean McVeigh when he came up and

1150
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: he was the youngest head coach in the NFL. He

1151
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: was brought up in the NFL. He's been around John

1152
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: Gruden and those guys since. You know, he could shave.

1153
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if this one works out, because when

1154
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: you have an NFL team, there's so much adversity that's

1155
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 1: going on. Even if you're winning, you win, you've got

1156
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: to manage all these personalities. You then if you are

1157
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: starting to struggle, it's not just his defense. Now he's

1158
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: got to take care of him. By the way, he

1159
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: had no adverse city. Last year they were number one

1160
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: from the get go, and they had the players. Chargers

1161
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: got a good team. I just I think he's in

1162
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: over his head and it had more of me. It

1163
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 1: just a quick look. They have the book called Blink.

1164
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: It just he just didn't feel comfortable in that setting.

1165
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 1: What do you think, I mean? You see success there.

1166
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: See you made a great point because the trend in

1167
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: the NFL has to go get the young, the young coach, right,

1168
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna relate with these twenty two to twenty four

1169
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: year olds. They're not even thinking about the guys who

1170
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: are in the league ten eleven years who are older

1171
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: than this guy. But you made a good point that

1172
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: McVeigh grew up in the NFL. Like this guy is

1173
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: on that accelerated program that singers take in high school.

1174
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: So they go to college and they have their associates

1175
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: degree already, but they've never really been in the college scene.

1176
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: And I agree with that point is you don't know

1177
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: what you don't know. And he's thirty years old, he's

1178
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: leading men and he's gonna be asked to make decisions

1179
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: that he didn't even have practice making. Right. He was

1180
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, he was a d coordinator. In nineteen

1181
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: he was an outside outside linebackers coach, another outside linebackers coach.

1182
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: He's really had one year of true decision making and

1183
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: it's not even at his highest for him yet. And

1184
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: he hasn't grown up in this, So I think it

1185
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: could bite him in the button. And I think the

1186
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,479
Speaker 1: NFL and this is a great example of the coaching tree.

1187
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: Right you look at look at Mike Hongrin and his

1188
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: coaching tree is crazy, right. Bill Belichick his coaching tree,

1189
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 1: Bill Wash his coaching tree, and that people fall into

1190
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: that trend. And like Sean McVeigh, young offense is going

1191
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: the hottest thing in LA. Let's take a chance on

1192
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: this young fellow and see if we can capture some

1193
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: of that magic that McVeigh brought to the league. I

1194
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: remember a story that Steve Sarkisian said one time, and

1195
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: it was when he was the offensive coordinator with USC

1196
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll was the head coach and they lost

1197
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: a tough game. I want to say it was Oregon

1198
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: State or I think it was Oregon State was an

1199
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: upset when they were expected to be number one. It

1200
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: could have been against Oregon. I'm not sure. I can't

1201
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: remember that detail. And he said Pete Carroll before they

1202
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: walked into the locker room. He goes, I want you

1203
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: to listen to how I address this team. This is

1204
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: a critical moment, and how we you know, frame O

1205
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: our message that's being mentored. Yea. And so you know

1206
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkising like him, love and whatever, don't like him.

1207
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: One thing is he's an impressive guy around people because

1208
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: he was groomed by Pete Carroll. You know. Now, hopefully

1209
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 1: he's mature enough and makes good decisions in life moving forward.

1210
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: I see the same thing with a Staley head coach.

1211
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: There the charget. I just don't think he had enough

1212
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: time to be mentored. You could be a really good leader.

1213
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: Sean McVay is a fantastic leader. You can tell it.

1214
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he commands respect. I'm not sure this guy

1215
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: does yet. He may be a great coach, but that's

1216
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a tough one to choose. I

1217
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: think what he has to do to be successful early

1218
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: surround yourself with older guys who've been there, who have

1219
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: done that. Yeah, you know, be you need a way

1220
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,959
Speaker 1: Phillips on your squad. You know, you need a guy

1221
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: who's been around the block a couple of times and

1222
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: who can hold you accountable. Because everyone needs to be

1223
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: held accountable. Even Pete Carls held accountable by his guy.

1224
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: I see my practice all the time. I don't know

1225
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: his name, but every time I ask people, who is

1226
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: that guy, They're like, that's Pete's right hand, he's the waiter.

1227
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: Carl Smith. Oh, Carl Schmith. Yeah, that's Carl's great guy.

1228
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 1: That's his guy. That's that's the guy who holds him accountable.

1229
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: So he just needs to surround himself by with good

1230
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: coaches because you know, you can't coach all the positions morey,

1231
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: you can't be everywhere at one time. And that's a

1232
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: great thing about football, man. You can't do it all

1233
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: in the field by yourself. You can't do it all

1234
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: in the coaching room by yourself. You gotta hire good people.

1235
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: Gotta hire man. It's only way to be successful, the

1236
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: only way to be successful. Good luck to you. Just

1237
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: not when you play the Seahawks. All right, coming up next,

1238
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: Moyer and I will go around the NFL. That's right here,

1239
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: on Hawks Alive. Welcome back to Hawks Alive. Hanging out

1240
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: with Paul Moyer like we're gonna do every Thursday during

1241
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: the season. Man, I mentioned this, all right, there's a

1242
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: great Thursday night game going on. Oh Man, cowboys are

1243
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: driving to win this thing. They got three time outs left.

1244
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: They overcame a second and twenty we missed, but we

1245
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: look up and it is the first down. Um. Good

1246
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: game going on, Man, way to start the season. We're

1247
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna speaking of the NFL. We're gonna go around the NFL.

1248
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: And the first question I want to ask you, Morier,

1249
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: is about the quarterback position. We got some young guys,

1250
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: some young guns in his league making starts. We got

1251
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson with the Jets, Mac Jones with the Patriots,

1252
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 1: and then Trevor Lawrence with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Out of

1253
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: those three, who do you think is gonna have the

1254
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: most successful rookie season, Oh, rookie season, it's gotta be

1255
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: oh man' I was gonna go with originally Mac Jones,

1256
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: just because I think he's got a better team around him.

1257
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Of those three teams, the Patriots are gonna be the

1258
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: best team. The Jets, Jets are gonna be an up

1259
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: and comer. And I really think Zack Wilson from a upside,

1260
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: he got the most upside. Yeah, he's he's got a

1261
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 1: crazy arm. I mean it's he's he's electric. We're gonna

1262
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: see if it turns to be efficient in the NFL.

1263
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: If he can make it efficient and not turn the

1264
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: ball over, you know, keep his high percentage of passes,

1265
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: he gonna makes some big time throws. I mean, he's

1266
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: got Patrick Mahomes type of ability with his arm. Trevor Lawrence,

1267
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: I just I think it's so. I just don't know

1268
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: about their team in that relationship with him and Urban.

1269
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know where that's going. I never was

1270
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: super impressed with him, other than his freshman year at Clemson,

1271
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: where I go, oh, it's pretty impressive for a freshman. Yeah,

1272
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: he was very mature, But I get it. I mean

1273
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: it's one of those you don't pass up. He's you know,

1274
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: six five six six, probably closer to six six. He's

1275
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: got all you know, he can make every throw. I

1276
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: get that. But I think these other two, I don't know,

1277
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: there's something special about them, you know, Mac Jones just

1278
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: his ability to get rid of the ball, his accuracy,

1279
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: and I think Zach Wilson, he's just he's got one

1280
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: of those crazy arms that come around well, I would

1281
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 1: say every twenty years. But Patrick Mahomes, he's in the

1282
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: league with him. Man, I think Trevor Lawrence. It's set

1283
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: up to fail down here. Man. He has all the

1284
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: talent in the world. He's mobile, he can throw the football,

1285
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: seems like a good leader. But you got Urbert Meyer

1286
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: over there, who looks some fuels on the sideline. You

1287
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: talk about the head coach for the charges and him

1288
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: the vibe you got from him. I look at Urbert

1289
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Myers and he just looks confused and some of the

1290
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: moves that he made an all season are questionable. You

1291
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: know that he's trying to keep his buddies in his circle,

1292
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: and he's learning if your buddy has a reputation in

1293
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: the history, you can't do that. This is in a

1294
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: university of Florida where you got away with a whole

1295
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: lot of stuff down there state or Ohio state, where

1296
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: is he good Utah, bowling green Utah. Well he's a

1297
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: bowling green Utah and good reputation Florida started to go.

1298
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that the poor reputationous people

1299
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: pilot on winners. Yeah, you know, I mean he runs

1300
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 1: a good program. I mean, but you look that Florida.

1301
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: That Florida team has some characters on it too. Though

1302
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: well yeah, I mean I can go back to Miami

1303
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: back in the eighties and you know they had some

1304
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: characters too. But yeah, I think that it's such a

1305
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: hard transition to go from college to the NFL. Very

1306
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: few guys like Pete Carroll I think, you know, that's

1307
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: why he deserves being the Hall of thing, not just

1308
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: because the success he's had with the Seahawks. There's very

1309
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: few people that have won a national championship and then

1310
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,320
Speaker 1: came and won a Super Bowl. I think Jimmy Johnson's

1311
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: one of the few, and Pete Carroll. It's hard, and

1312
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: it's hard because in college, you know, I mean, I

1313
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: got control of the players, you know, I mean, you're

1314
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: trying to fight for a spot to potentially get into

1315
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's just it's a different mentality. And

1316
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: I remember when he was signing, they were signing some

1317
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: free agents and he was just appalled that the way

1318
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the system is because you didn't get to really talk

1319
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: to him. You didn't get to bring him in and

1320
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 1: even interview him, you know, for the most part, and

1321
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: so he was which, by the way, I totally agree

1322
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: with him on it. But gas Away, you gotta adapt.

1323
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 1: This is the way it is, and it's one of

1324
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: days and the players is a coach. Why do I

1325
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: got to run through that wall when I can run

1326
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: around it? Do I really need to go and run

1327
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: through that? It's just that's the dnestry in the NFL

1328
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: and call he don't like that. The veterans man, I'll

1329
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: see you week one coach. Imagine if imagine if he

1330
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: were Pete Carroll, Dinalwood, Dwayne Brown, this situation, that would

1331
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 1: have drove him nuts. He'd probably been like, you need

1332
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: to be out there and practicing every single day. No,

1333
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't coach him thirty six years old. I've done

1334
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: this for a long time on top of my position.

1335
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll let you know when I'm ready to practice. I

1336
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: would have drove him nuts. Oh well, he's gonna find

1337
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: out this year because he's gonna have to rest people. Look,

1338
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: he's smart enough guy, and he's surrounded with a pretty

1339
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: good staff. I mean, they're gonna he's smart enough to

1340
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,479
Speaker 1: figure out what, I gotta make some changes, but yeah,

1341
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a big, big learning curve for

1342
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: all of them over there. All right, Well we found

1343
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: out a few days ago. Kj's officially gone. He is

1344
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: a Las Vegas Raider. I just want to show some

1345
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: love to kJ. I mean, he ended his run here

1346
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: with two great seasons back to back. He was bawling.

1347
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: I think he's just it's just his age and just

1348
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 1: not wanting to disrespect him with a number on this

1349
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: contract that was a lowball, not even a lowball, but

1350
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: kind of where they value him and then having him

1351
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: play back up to these young guys. kJ is a

1352
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: starter in this league, and I think he's gonna get

1353
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity with the Las Vegas Raiders. I'm glad he's

1354
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: playing football. Yeah, he's back with Gus Bradley and the

1355
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: guy that you know. They know. Maybe he's only there

1356
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: on first and second down situations, and at that age,

1357
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 1: it probably makes sense. Here's what I'm gonna say, because

1358
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: I was a proponent the whole time. You need to

1359
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: get kJ back. He played his best football. You could

1360
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: play him inside if you really wanted to. Yeah, you

1361
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, He's had that skill level. But

1362
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: I understand why they did it, and it's it's purely

1363
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: about numbers, and it's not even financing that the numbers are.

1364
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: We got two old linebackers, or older linebackers, not that

1365
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: they were that old, but in football years, we've got

1366
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: to develop some young guys. This game is about speed.

1367
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 1: It's about coming off the edge rushing the passer, and

1368
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the Seahawks don't want to be predictable and how they're

1369
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: rushing the passer. They want to be able to line

1370
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,439
Speaker 1: up in a somewhat of a bare front at times,

1371
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: or a five man front with some speed outside backers

1372
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: or potentially Jamal out him. I'm thinking of Darrel Taylor.

1373
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: That did not fit into what they want to do

1374
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: moving forward with kJ Right, So now, all right, kJ Am,

1375
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: I gonna play just on mixdowns and most teams now

1376
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: are in three wide receiver sets. When do I'm not

1377
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: pulling Jordan Brooks off the field anymore. That's done. I'm

1378
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,919
Speaker 1: not pulling Bobby out not yet. So where's the time

1379
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: we think Cody Barton is playing as well as any

1380
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: linebacker on our team right now? Yeah, So it's just

1381
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: it was a numbers game and it's time to develop,

1382
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: and people need an opportunity when you're younger. You can't

1383
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 1: sit behind veterans and just die. I mean you really,

1384
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: You just don't get that opportunity. And kJ if he

1385
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: was on the team, maybe he starts, Maybe he is

1386
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: better than mixdowns. And again, now you never get Darryl Taylor,

1387
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: you never get Cody Barton. You don't get those guys

1388
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: a chance to develop. You can't sit behind veterans and die.

1389
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: But this young man sat behind a veteran and got

1390
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: himself in a position to thrive. Mister Jameis Winston having

1391
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: another opportunity with the New Orleans Saints, and for what

1392
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I've seen in pre season, I think he's ready to go.

1393
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: Now if he learned anything from Drew brees Ha, take

1394
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: the check down, take what the defense has given you.

1395
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Because I had greatest ever Breezes didn't have the arm

1396
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: to go deep like Jamis does. So I think if

1397
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: he can incorporate that into his game, he will be fine.

1398
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: He's got some weapons over there, he asked Sean Payton,

1399
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: who's a great head coach. You still got Kamara in

1400
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 1: the backfield. You're still gonna sprinkle in Taysom Hill. I

1401
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: think he can be successful this year. I do too,

1402
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: and they I don't think they bring him back if

1403
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 1: they didn't feel he had learned what they needed him

1404
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: to learn. And I mean his talent's been there. We

1405
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: know that. I mean, you throw as many touchdowns as

1406
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: he did the other year, that's fine. The yards thirty interceptions,

1407
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: that's a hard one for me to get out of

1408
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: my head. I really don't understand that. And he's with

1409
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Bruce arians I mean, Bruce is hard on. I don't

1410
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: know if he's hard on quarterback. He has that persona

1411
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: he is, but he's a quarterback Gurbreu. That must have

1412
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: drove him nuts. Yeah, And so you know, I think

1413
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Peyton is it's a different voice. I think you're right.

1414
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I think he has success this year. I don't know

1415
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: to what extent, but I think he's gonna have a

1416
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: pretty good year. I think you'll have a good year

1417
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: as well. We'll see what they do that NFC is

1418
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: looking tough. Man, all right, we come back. We'll put

1419
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: a ball on this thing. We'll give you our final

1420
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: thoughts in the Seahawks keys the victory when they go

1421
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. That's next right here on Hawks Live. Welcome

1422
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: back to Hawks Live every Thursday. Dallas leading twenty nine,

1423
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: twenty eight, fourth quarter, forty nine seconds left. Tom Brady

1424
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: has the ball. You know what Moyer said? He said,

1425
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,839
Speaker 1: of course the Bucks are winning this game. That's Tom Brady.

1426
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: There's no question they're gonna win. But you know, too

1427
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,839
Speaker 1: many people thought that they're gonna run the table. It's seriously.

1428
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard people say they're gonna go and defeated.

1429
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: I go. They had a great playoff run, you know,

1430
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: they during the middle of the year. People were like, man,

1431
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 1: but here's Gronkowski doing what he does best and running

1432
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: over people, and they're gonna end up kicking a field goal.

1433
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: The only way they lose this game as a field

1434
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: goal kicked chokes, he said, they miss a field goal. Yeah,

1435
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: driving right now, thirty two seconds. I almost wish we

1436
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: were calling this game right now. You and I can

1437
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: give a good play by play colored call Brady going

1438
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: over the top out of bounds. All right, So let's

1439
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: get back to the season. I was like, I'm following

1440
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you here, all right, how do they win this ball game?

1441
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how I think they win this ball game.

1442
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you got to control the run. That's

1443
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: what the Colts want to do. Jonathan Taylor is a

1444
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,799
Speaker 1: very good running back eleven hundred yards, five yards per carry.

1445
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: They have to control the run and then offensively play

1446
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: with their temple, whether that's up tempo, slow tempo, in between,

1447
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 1: whatever tempo meets to them. They just have to play

1448
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: the game that they want to play offensively, take care

1449
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: of the football, and then we'll see if this offense

1450
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: has the explosive plays that we're used to seeing out

1451
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: of DK and lock it. Yeah, I'm I'm I think

1452
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: this is a weird year because no preseason. For the

1453
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,680
Speaker 1: most part, for the starters, we've got a bunch of

1454
01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: injured player. Indianapolis has ten guys on injured reserve. Ten

1455
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean their number one wide receiver. They got a

1456
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: bunch of guys coming back. Wentz has been out. I

1457
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: just don't see them hitting on a high level. But

1458
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: you know, we got a new offensive coordinator, new offense.

1459
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: We haven't had that opportunity with our first team offense either,

1460
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: so a lot of unknowns there. So I really think

1461
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: it's a bit of what Pete loves. We're gonna run

1462
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: the football, it's gonna be a slugfest. It's gonna come

1463
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: down to the fourth quarter. I like our chances with

1464
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 1: our quarterback in the fourth quarter. This is a really

1465
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: good defense. I mean, they are tough to run the

1466
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: football on, so we're gonna have to try to go

1467
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: over the top at times. But you know, we'll see

1468
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 1: if we can scheme them along the way. And you know,

1469
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: it's too many cliches here, but you know, turnovers. I

1470
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: like our chances there. I mean Wentz, you know, historically

1471
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: hasn't been great at protecting the football. I think we're

1472
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: a better team, at least on paper. But they're really good.

1473
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean, at one point last year their defense the

1474
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: first half of the year, they were insanely good. They

1475
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 1: were about one hundred yards better than the next team

1476
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: at one point. So yeah, so it's gonna be. It's

1477
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be a fun one, but it's

1478
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a little old fashioned run hit, get after it.

1479
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: A couple of guys I want to see. Dave Wyman

1480
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 1: mentioned this earlier today on his show DJ Dallas. Had

1481
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 1: one of the best preseasons I've seen in a long time.

1482
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: So now, what does that do Where does that put

1483
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: him on this roster on that depth chart? Is he

1484
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna get more carries than Penny? Are they gonna use

1485
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: him in the past game? Is he gonna be one

1486
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: of their return guys with Freddie Swain he was a

1487
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: guy who returned the ball as well. I want to

1488
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: see how they're gonna use DJ Dallas And then also

1489
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 1: I want to see what Trey Flowers does with this

1490
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: third opportunity. Probably it's almost like they've been trying to

1491
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: replace the guy, but he does just enough. He's just

1492
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: he's consistent, just enough to keep fighting these guys off

1493
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: and winning this spot. So those are the two guys

1494
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna look at. How is DJ gonna be used?

1495
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: How much time has he earned? And what does Trey

1496
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Flowers do with this opportunity? Well, I don't know if

1497
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: the guys they brought in, they haven't been here long

1498
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: enough to unseat him, that's for sure yet Trey Flowers,

1499
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 1: and even if he struggles in the game, But you

1500
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 1: know Sidney Jones, I mean, he's he's been there, done that.

1501
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I like his upside a bunch um, So we'll see

1502
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: what goes on there. I'm excited to see Chris Carson

1503
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: get back at it. Yeah, that's the one thing that

1504
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned. DJ Dallas. What's his role returner? Um? Right now,

1505
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: you know what you did in preseason gives you the

1506
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: opportunity be on the team and have some other opportunities

1507
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 1: in the special teams. But that's a loaded field there.

1508
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, Chris Carson's going to get

1509
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: the carries, definitely, So now how much do you spread

1510
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: those extra ten carries and passes out of the backfield.

1511
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Alex looked very good and you're going to more than

1512
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: if If Penny is active for the game, he's going

1513
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: to get more touches than probably DJ Dallas. But if

1514
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 1: he's not active, obviously that that changes it. So we'll

1515
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 1: see what happens. Well, we'll know more Sunday with Seahawks

1516
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,599
Speaker 1: really think, but I think the packing order right now

1517
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: is still you know, it's Carson, it's Penny. I think

1518
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: it's Hollis Collins and the Dallas another young man. I

1519
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: want to see how they use him as d Eskridge. Now,

1520
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Freddie Swain won that third receiver spot deservedly. He has

1521
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: been available, he made plays, he's reliable, But the little

1522
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,799
Speaker 1: glimpse that we saw of d Eskris got me excited.

1523
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 1: He ran a jet sweep. He was fast, but patient.

1524
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 1: That's what I liked about his life. He didn't he

1525
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: didn't outrun his blockers. He had his hand on one

1526
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: of his guards back, kind of letting him lead the way.

1527
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Then he goes across the middle he makes a catch.

1528
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: He did just enough to where I'm like, yeah, I

1529
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: want to see more of that. I want to see

1530
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: what this young man can do. I know Freddy's gonna

1531
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: get the start, but d Escras is gonna be in

1532
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: the mix. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at it's interesting

1533
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: to look at their depth chart. They've got three wide receivers.

1534
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: If they're definitely gonna be really have a fullback anymore.

1535
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 1: And you're right, you got Tyler Locket, Freddie Swain and

1536
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: obviously DK Metcalf the three guys starting. Look, I my

1537
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: guesses are going to activate penny Hart, bring him up

1538
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,600
Speaker 1: or somebody. I mean, I don't. You can't go in

1539
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: with four wide receivers. I wouldn't think, um Eskridge, it's

1540
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: penny Hart's out. Well never never mind then or excuse me,

1541
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: he is up? Okay, So that would be a guy

1542
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: that your count is right now questionable as esk Ridge,

1543
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: But I did like what I finally saw in a

1544
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: game practice. He looks at I mean, he's he's got

1545
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: all the skill they're looking for. It's gonna be fun. Look,

1546
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: we have so many young players that are rookies. I'm

1547
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: not I don't need to count on a rookie. I'd

1548
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: like to see asks, you know, have some success. But

1549
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: it's my second third year guys, it's a Cody Barton's.

1550
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: It's the Marquise Blairs of the world. And I think

1551
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 1: Marky's one of those guys too. They have to take

1552
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: that leap where oh, we're starters in this league. You know,

1553
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,840
Speaker 1: I can actually I get it. We signed Diggs, He's

1554
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent next year. What do we

1555
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:52,719
Speaker 1: do here? If Marquis Blair truly steps up and becomes

1556
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: the guy they think he is. You know that that

1557
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: there's some there's some decisions to be made next year

1558
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: at free safety. But for right now, I think he's

1559
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: a guy that can be a starter, and I'd like

1560
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 1: to see that happen this week. All right, we will

1561
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: see what happens this week. A lot of questions will

1562
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: be answered. That was fun man. Thank you guys for
