00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: This is Michael Bumps Hawk Talk the recap edition the

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: Hoss go down to Atlanta and beat the Falcons twenty

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: seven to twenty. First half is great? Second half now

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: so much? Well, we got something to talk about, like

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: we have in the pass. We got big round the phone.

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: How are you doing, big right, I'm chilling like a villain, Bud.

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: How you doing? You know what I'm saying. I'm just

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: trying to make it Ray trying to make a baby. Hey,

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: let's get right into it. So what did you see

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: out of that offensive line in the first half? And

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: then what did you see from the line in the

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: second half. Well, the thing is is that in the

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: first half, there is no doubt that are the scheme

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: that we have, the running backs, we have, the offensive

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: linement that we have. It all works. I mean, they

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: dominated the line of scrimas, there was space for Chris

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Carson and for Richard Penny to make yards and look

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: really good doing it. And then in the second half

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: for the second week in the road, which seems like

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the run game was shut down. And after the game,

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown kind of blamed intensity level coming out of

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: the second half and Pete Carroll kind of blamed himself

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: in schemes, and I agree with both of them. I

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: think if some of the intensitive level was was out

34
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks and the offensive line. I think that

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the scheme Atlanta made some adjustments and was playing a

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: little bit faster and more aggressively than the Seahawks. And

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: so you know, I've been on teams before where they've

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: practiced coming out of the second half, and so maybe

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: that's something the Seahawks should do, because there's no reason

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: that there should be now in his eight yards in

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: the third quarter, only eighteen plays in the second half

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: for an offense that was rolling so so well in

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, so justin Britt goes down with

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: an ACL tear is what we're hearing. Do you think

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Joey Hunt has what it takes to lead the charge

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: going forward? I think Joey Hunt has has the ability

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: to hold it down in the middle. If the guards

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: are having spectacular play, whether that's Jupati or Jones or

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: DJ Flucker, they have to be really playing at the

50
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: top of their game. Because he's an undersized guy. He

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: gives a great effort, he's smart, he makes sure people

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: in the right places, but he can be overpowered at times.

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: So I know that Jamarco Jones took some reps at

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: center last week, and so I'm not sure if that's

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: something that they're considering because has a lot to learn

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: with the communication part of it. But but there is

57
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: gonna be uh, I think a little downshift and play

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: at that position until they figured out. And then speaking

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: of Jamarco Jones, I just came up with a new

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: nickname for him the other day yesterday that was called

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: the Truth. This dude came in at left tackle at

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: left guard when your party was out for a little while,

63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and he looked just as smooth at left guard as

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: he did at right guard. And like I said, he

65
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: he was drafted as an oppositive tackle and out of

66
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Ohio State, and then he took reps at center. And

67
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: so this dude is a bonafide full time starter in

68
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: this league. It's just a matter of time before he

69
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: before he's inserted full time. With the addition of addition

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: of Jamarco Jones and Dwayne Brown being heard coming in

71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: and out flukers spending some time out. Do you think

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: we've seen the potential of this office in line yet?

73
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Have they played their best football yet? I don't think

74
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: we've seen the potential of it as it relates to

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: like the entire game. So, like I said, the last

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: two games, in the first half, I mean, he looked

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: like one of like they're back to the form they

78
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: were at the end of last season. They looked like

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: they're one of the top, you know, offensive lines in

80
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the run game, especially in the NFL. But then the

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: way that they've responded in the second half, Mata then

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: go like, well, then what's going on? Like is it

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: really truly an intensity thing? Is it really truly a scheme? Thing,

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: and to me, I really think that it's somewhere in

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the middle or a combination of both of those things.

86
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: And so even with you know, I think Jamarco Jones

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: to me has been like like people are sleeping on

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: it because of everything that Russell does. But that dude

89
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: has been in the MVP conversation for this offense because

90
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: he's filled in gaps and holes with such efficiency that

91
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: you don't even realize that that person is out. So

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: I think, you know, a combination of Flucker Jamarco Jones

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and you Potty at those guard spots and then healthy

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown and Jermaine Effetti if they can get one

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: complete game together, then the sky's the limit for this offense. Yeah,

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Jamarco Jones is doing this thing in multiple positions, So

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: it seems like everyone's chasing the forty nine is right now,

98
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: they're seven and oh six and O they're looking at

99
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: it wor they're looking at everybody in review mirror. What

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: do the Hawks have to do to keep up with

101
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: these guys? You know, to me, it's like what offensively,

102
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: it's what we've just been talking about, just really been

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: having a consistent output for the entire game. I mean,

104
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: you don't had eighteen plays in the second half. You

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: can't impose your will or or physicality on another team

106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: within eighteen plays, and that gives Russell Wilson left plays

107
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: to work his magic with Tyler Lockett. And then you know,

108
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: you look at DJ Metcalf who's coming on at the

109
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: mid point of the season. He has twenty two catches

110
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: point in two yards and four touchdowns, which isn't bad,

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: so you get more opportunities to get him the ball.

112
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: And then defensively, we've kind of been in that band,

113
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: but don't break mode. We haven't connected our pass rush

114
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: with our coverage, and we've done pretty good in the

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: run game at times. So it's two sides of the

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: ball that haven't really put together a complete game yet,

117
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: which is good in offense because they're six and two

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: with that formula, but it makes it a little scary.

119
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: But you know that this team has always played better

120
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: down a stretch. They get better after the halfway point.

121
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: I think Pete Carroll said this is the beginning of

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and this is when they

123
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of lock in and get better. The other thing

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: to not to take and to notice too, was that

125
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: Michael Dixon had a Michael Dixon type stat line yesterday.

126
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: He had four punts for average forty nine yards and

127
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: three inside to twenty with the long and fifty eight.

128
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: That's going to also help flip the fields and help

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: the defense better. So all of that stuff starts to

130
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: get connected the second half of the season. And I

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: still have my money on the Seahawks. I know that

132
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are playing well and they're undefeated.

133
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: They're getting a lot of sacks and turnovers and things.

134
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: But I just really feel like the Seahawks are good

135
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: at playing really tight games. They have more guys that

136
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: are experienced at that, and I still I still have

137
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: my money on the Seahawks. Sound a stretch, all right?

138
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: One more question for you, Ray. I heard Danny O'Neill

139
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: ask brock Hewart this question. I'm gonna ask you this question.

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: Would you rather be the best four and four team

141
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: are the worst six and two team? Man, I'm can

142
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: wins every time, bro, Like six and two is six

143
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: and two. You know what I'm saying. And so if

144
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: you if you you know, you know, on our show,

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: we're always saying, like, you know, what does that project

146
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: to that project to a twelve and four season. A

147
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: four and four team project jects to an eight and

148
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: eight season. So twelve and four be eight and eight

149
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: all day and twice on Sunday. So I'm going I'm

150
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: going with the sixte and two. I'm not one of

151
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: those dudes who's gonna complain about what the Seahawks are.

152
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Not I'm gonna, but I'm gonna celebrate what they are.

153
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: A wise man once said, you played to win the game.

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks left Atlanta, uh, with the victory under

155
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: their wings. And so they're sixty two at the midway point, Uh,

156
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: with a chance to to you know, to start the

157
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Uh, you know, you know,

158
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: behind the forty nine ers, but in a position to

159
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: control their destiny. And so I take that all day

160
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: twice on Sunday. I'm with you. It's all about the

161
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: W's big ray. Well, thank you again for joining us. Well,

162
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk again here soon next week. You

163
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: have a good one man, your two brother peace. All right,

164
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna move into our main takeaways. What do we

165
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: learn from this game? The Seahawks start the season four

166
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: and on the road, first time since nineteen eighty and

167
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: our six and two for the first time since two

168
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: thousand and five. Nas I wasn't born in nineteen eighty,

169
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: neither was our far from it, far from it, But hey,

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: four and ohs four and six and two and Ray

171
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: touched on a team To end that little interview, is

172
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: wins or wins man that's gonna be. I think that's

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: the theme of this podcast, is that wins or wins

174
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: And you cannot be upset with a six and two record?

175
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Can you just can't. I cannot fathom the negativity around

176
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: this team when we are six and two. Yeah, it's

177
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. I'd be like, we're six and two,

178
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: we're second in the division. We're playing behind the forty

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: nine ers who really haven't played too many good too

180
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: many good teams yet. So the future is bright. I'm

181
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: with you there, all right. So the game was to

182
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: tell the two halves first half twenty four zero offenses, clicking,

183
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: bom bone, moving the ball, defensive ball. At second half

184
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: it seems like we can't get a first down. Shop

185
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: is throwing the ball where It's a little disappointing, but

186
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: end of the day, we gotta win. Can't be too

187
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: mad at that. The Seahawks got back to what they

188
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: do best. They run the ball. They were able to

189
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty one yards on the ground.

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Chris Carson is a catalyst to this thing. They had

191
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: the tough ninety yards over the Falcons dB. Every time

192
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: he got a chance, he was lowering the shoulder and

193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: bringing pain to the game. I love the way he

194
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: runs the rock. Chris Carson. Man, you watch that, dude,

195
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: because we've talked about this all through the season. Now

196
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: everyone knows he can run you over. Everyone knows that,

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: but now he's adding a little shiftiness to hold juke you.

198
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: So now, as a dB coming up, you have no

199
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: idea if he's gonna run you over or he's gonna

200
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: juke you. But here's my only thing. Listen, Chris Carson

201
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: is never going to step out of bounds near the sideline.

202
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: It's a PSA to all dbs and this happening. It's

203
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: the Falcons on Sunday, third and three for Russ Hamster. Carson,

204
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: He's got the first down, stiff arms a man him

205
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: sign thirty five spins out of a tackle, thirty twenty

206
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: five pounds or defensive back and it's knocked out of

207
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: bounds at the other land out of twenty. Sheffield's the

208
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: guy who got nailed a nineteen yard game by Chris Carson.

209
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: Who they they don't pay DB's enough to try to

210
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: tackle that man. No, they don't. And if I'm coming

211
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: from space, I'm coming down from a secondary position from

212
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: ten fifteen yards away and this man has a full

213
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: head of speed and it's coming north and south. Had

214
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: me good luck. I'm chopping him down. I'm going I'm

215
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: going ankles, baby ankles all day. On the sad note,

216
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: the Hawks likely used Justin Britt for the season with

217
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: an ACL injury. We saw it was kind of a

218
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: non contact deal. Sucks for Britt and keep your head up.

219
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: He still came out of the locker room. Man, he's

220
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: dapping his boys up. He's waiting for him after the

221
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: game into the locker room. I follow him on Twitter.

222
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of the Chris Carson reached out.

223
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson reached out. A huge loss for this team,

224
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: but his presence will still be felt in this building. Yeah.

225
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: He once he moved to center, he really became a

226
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: leader in that room. It was a really young offensive

227
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: line group, and he stood, he stepped up and really

228
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of took control. And then you added Dwayne Brown,

229
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: you added a fook, or you added you Potti. The

230
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: leadership is there. Jessin Britt still got his hands all

231
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: over this offensive line, and I think his leadership is

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: not going to go anywhere. Last takeaway. At the end

233
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: of the day, there's no style points in NFL. Wins

234
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: are wins. Just like Big Race said, the Hawks are

235
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: six and two. Stop all the negativity. Let's ride baby.

236
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna move into the top performers. Now

237
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: we got to talk about Russell Wilson, another efficient Dame

238
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: fourteen to twenty four, one hundred and eighty two yards,

239
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. So now Russell Wilson joins Drew Brees as

240
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the only players this nineteen seventy to throw seventeen touchdowns

241
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: and one interception. Are fewer in the first eight games

242
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: of the season. This guy is efficient. He's like a

243
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: surgeon out there. Now. I mean it's every single week

244
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: I put this rundown together, there is notes about Russell Wilson,

245
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: and it's always something like, Russell Wilson is the first

246
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: quarterback since blank or since the merger to do X

247
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: y Z every single week and it just shows you

248
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: the class he's in this early news career. Yeah, and

249
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: I think this week kind of got him back on

250
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: the national stage for the MVP race. People are quick

251
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: to jump ship didn't have the greatest game last week,

252
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: came back this week. Two touchdowns, don't decision and interceptions

253
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: playing the fishing football. Also, dk Metcalf three catches, thirteen yards,

254
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: but two touchdowns. Could have had three but he dropped one.

255
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: But he's looking good. With two tits in the first

256
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: half versus Falcons, dk Metcalf became the first see how

257
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: rookie would two receiving touchdowns in the first half since

258
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Week eleven, twenty fifteen versus Sanford six or forty nine ers.

259
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: That was his boy, Tyler Lockett doing it so and

260
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: we got we got too. I think we have a

261
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: number two receiver at this point in the season. We

262
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit earlier on the postgame show.

263
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, Mattcoff has twenty twenty two receptions,

264
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: four hundred two yards and four touchdowns. You multiply that

265
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: by two, he's gonna have over eight hundred yards, eight touchdowns,

266
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of people, myself included, didn't want to

267
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: set the expectations guy high for this guy because you know,

268
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: obviously you played receiver in the NFL. It's hard to adjust.

269
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: It is hard to just come from the college game.

270
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: You're seeing defenses you've never seen before. And he is,

271
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: without a doubt, emerge and completely blown out any expectations

272
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: I had for him coming in. Yeah, we spoke to

273
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll today and he said he has seated expectations.

274
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: You know. He said he didn't think that he'll be

275
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: able to justice quickly. He loves, he loves what he's doing,

276
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: and he's becoming a route running. He ran a double

277
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: move the other day. I don't think I've ever seen

278
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: him run a double move. And they let clean DK Mancalf.

279
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: Keep doing your thing. Also, Tyler Lockett six receptions for

280
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: our one hundred yards. He was targeted six times. Six

281
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: catches a hundred yards and some tough catches. He makes

282
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: big boy catches in a small guy's body. It doesn't

283
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: you look at it, It does not make sense. He

284
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: is not a big guy. He'll be completely covered. Two

285
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: separate times on Sunday he was completely covered. dB could

286
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: not have been in a better position, but he'll make

287
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: a catch with one hand. If there's just something about

288
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: maybe you can speak to this how he can get

289
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: separation at the last second where he is covered, but

290
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: when it's tire locket, he's always open. He makes me

291
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: go against almost everything I teach as a receiver. The

292
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: way he catches the ball isn't conventional life. I tell

293
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: my guys to turn your hands over attack the football,

294
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: but he has a way of shielding golf defenders and

295
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: letting the cradle right down into his hands, which is

296
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: amazing being having a smaller body. Usually you see big

297
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: bodies due that you can post up, but being like

298
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: five ten and five eleven, he's still getting done. I

299
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: love watching this guy play, and he's a good dude.

300
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Marquis Blair and his second career is already had eleven

301
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: tackles and a huge force funnel to stop the Falcons

302
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: short of the goal line. Hey, this dude's coming downhill.

303
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: He missed a couple of tackles, but he's coming downhill

304
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: and he's trying to smack you. He brings an intensity

305
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: that I think this defense has been missing. Absolutely. I

306
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: mean all Seahawk fans know we had the Legion of

307
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Boom and we had two guys back there, especially in

308
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: camp Chancellor the enforcer. You had to know where number

309
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: thirty one was at all times, especially if you're playing

310
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Marquis Blair now not this same body type,

311
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: but man, he's still a thumper. Like you look at him,

312
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: don't You didn't seem like a huge guy. But don't

313
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: get it twisted. He's gonna bring it twisted. He's coming downhill.

314
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: And now with the addition of Diggs, I want to

315
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: see what that looks like with those two back there,

316
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: because they kind of have the same playing style. Diggs

317
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: is a little thicker, but they both played with intensity

318
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: fly downhill. I'm interested to see what happens there. Still

319
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: got Tetrick, don't sleep on Tetrick and McDougall. This this

320
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: safety position is deep right now. Now, all of a sudden,

321
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: we got death. And there's times, you know, they can

322
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: have formations where they got three safeties on the field.

323
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: They've done it before and if they used to some

324
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: people call it big nickel or whatever you want to

325
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: call it. But if you have another safety on the field,

326
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: that helps you in the run game. It could be

327
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: interesting with all those guys back there, and not to

328
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: mention Lano Hill still back there as well once he

329
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: gets healthy. Man, they're d back there. We cannot go

330
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: through this podcast and not talk about Bobby Wagner. With

331
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: two tackles on the Falcons Open he Drive, Bobby Wagner

332
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: became the franchise all time leading tackler, passing Eugene Robinson

333
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: with six tackles in a game. He now has nine

334
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: hundred eighty nine for his career. He also picked up

335
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: his eighth bumble recovery. This guy's everywhere you hear Pete

336
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: talk about him. He says it's his worth ethic. It

337
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise him that he's here so early and by

338
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: the time he's done. No one's touching this record for

339
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: a very long time. No, I mean, whoever that person

340
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: might be. I promise he was not born on this

341
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: not walking this planet right now, not even I thought

342
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: he's not bar I love it. Teammate kJ Wright total

343
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: ten tackles. They moved to the fourth place on the

344
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: all time list with seven hundred and eighty four, passing

345
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: Joe Nash. This has to be the best linebacker duo

346
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: in Seahak history, don't. I don't think it's close. I mean,

347
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: we've had some really good linebackers, but it's the level

348
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: of consistency year in and year out in the production

349
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: from them that's unmatched. And they're both just solid people.

350
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, we're gonna go to the receiver

351
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: round up. Like mentioned, Tyler Lockett had six catches for

352
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: one hundred yards off of six targets. David Moore had

353
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: a catch one cast for twenty three, but it was

354
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: a nice twenty three. It was a nice little yack.

355
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: He ran a hitch, made a guy miss, puts his

356
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: foot in the ground, shake tapare gets up field, shows

357
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: his explosiveness. Molie Turner also had a nice little running

358
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: catch one cast for twenty one yards. Jacob Hollister the

359
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: tight end the hopefully the replacement for this They had

360
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: two catches for eighteen. Like mentioned, DK had three catches,

361
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: only thirteen yards, but two huge touchdowns. Luke Wilson always

362
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: gets a catch. It seems like he's gonna get at

363
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: least one one for seven. Chris Carson had no targets.

364
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: That's the receiver round up for you there, So now

365
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: moving into coaches corner, We're gonna talk about one of

366
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: DK Metcalfs is touchdown. It was second and goal on

367
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the Atlanta fourth. This is how I went down. Medcalf

368
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: and Lockett in a tight slot on the left side.

369
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: Quick snap to Russell, Who's gonna throw inside? Touchdown Seahawks

370
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: K Metcalf. Hawks got right up to the line of scrimmage.

371
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: Quick snap count by Russell, and Metcalf was right in

372
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, all by his lonesome from

373
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: four yards out. The Seahawks lead the Falcons NA nothing.

374
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: That is a great job by Russell. Wilson. I always

375
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: think of Aaron Rodgers when when players are our teams

376
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: do this that hurry of the defense as ready. Aaron

377
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: Rodgers does it all the time. Oh, great adjustment by

378
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. I talked to Pete. He said he was

379
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: on a stick. Right, he could have win, left, could

380
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: have win right. Um Russell got to the line, hurried

381
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: him up. Just a savvy veteran v MVP type play

382
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: right there. Well, when you look at it, Russells were

383
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: a second official walks away. You have about four or

384
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: five defensive linemen for the Falcons standing up standing straight up,

385
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: not in the stands, the secondaries kind of looking around,

386
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: what's the call? And like you said, just the savvy

387
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: nature to be like, okay, we got something. And DCA's

388
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: a young guy to not just run the route he

389
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to run. The jests on the fly get

390
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: open and Russell finds him easy money, like taking candy

391
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: from a baby, like taking a passive higher right day,

392
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: all right, the best thing we saw. The Seahawks once

393
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: again did what they do and approved to four and

394
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: oh on the road awesome, proved to an NFL record

395
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: fifty four and oh when leading him by four or

396
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: more at halftime. Imagine so fifty four and one, leading

397
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: by four seven and oh when the opposing quarterback throughs

398
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: for four hundred yards. So I just say we let

399
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: him throw for four hundreds, go up by fourth to

400
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: a half, and we're good to go. Automatic. Never was game,

401
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: never lose game. Only three n NFC teams have a

402
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: better record than the Seahawks. The forty nine Ers are undefeated,

403
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: the Packers and the Saints six and two. On to

404
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: the next Like where we're going, got the Bucks coming

405
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: into town? Next week? That is it, folks, is Michael

406
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: bumps with my guy, my producer, National Toby. That's a

407
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: Seahawks recap edition. The Hawks win twenty seven to twenty

408
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: down to atl We'll see you next time.
