1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus. Play Fank go to roll right, jumps it 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: off into the right flass to Michael Bumpers, who bounces 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: off on one tackler gets inside the forty down of 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: the thirty five yard line. Powered by Seahawks dot Com, 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: Matt pump fakes looking at the goal line. He throws 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: it into the end zone. Touchdown Saint Hawks. It's Michael 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Bumpus with a diving catch in the end zone. Ten 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: yard touchdown reception for Bumpus, and the kid out of 10 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Washington State has found himself a place on this team. 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Nasa Chubi. The Seahawks run of 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: near perfection during ten am starts takes a slight hit 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: as a fall thirty nine thirty two to the New 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. The Hawks coming into the game where twenty 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: two and seven during ten ames starts and now follow 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: twenty two and eight after a tough loss against the Saints. 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: But we're gonna dive into that matchup see how everything 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: went down, like we do every week, as we get 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: inside the trenches with Ray Roberts, it's time to go 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: inside the Trench with former Seahawk Ray Roberts. Ray. Well, 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: it was the second week in a row the Seahawks 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: were involved in a shootout. This time of like I 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: mentioned losing to the Saints thirty nine thirty two, and 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I didn't start here. One of 25 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 1: the biggest stories come out of Sunday was the injury 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: to a shot Penny. You feel for a guy who's 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: been through so much in his career, and we heard 28 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll say today that, you know, he looks like 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: he broke that tibia in his leg and he's gonna, 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, miss the rest of the season. So what 31 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: is this loss going to do to this team and 32 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: specifically this running game. Well, you know, I think I 33 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: think Paul More You're kind of hit it on the 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: head in the post game because I think they have 35 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: some capable backs that can come in. You know, with 36 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: the kid, the young kid Walker, I think he has 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: a different kind of dimension to how he runs, but 38 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the size that Penny has. Like Penny 39 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: has two hundred and thirty pounds. Running with speed and power, 40 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: You're running through some of those arm tackles, you know, 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: in the trenches and then been able to get to 42 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: the next level. And so I think you may miss 43 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: some of that. I don't want to say like not 44 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: like a physicality, like a like a Marshawn Lynch or 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: like a Chris Carson, but you missed. Uh, You're probably 46 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna miss a little bit of that the size advantage 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 1: you have in the run game. But I'm like you man, 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: you know, Rashard Penny has worked really, really hard. I 49 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: remember last year doing one of or doing the preseason 50 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: one of his press conferences, and you know, he's really 51 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: soft spoken dude, and was saying, like, you know, he's 52 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: not trying to get hurt, you know, you know, and 53 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: he understands that, you know, people want to see him 54 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: on the field and that his job is to play football, 55 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: so he's not trying to get hurt. So here it 56 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: is again, he's got off to he ended the season 57 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: strong last year, was getting off to good start this year, 58 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: and then the Andrew team jumped on him again. So 59 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm really feelful the dude, and uh, and we'll certainly 60 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: have keep him in my thoughts. So with with ken Walker, 61 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: ken Walker steps up. He has a huge run obviously, 62 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: do you think he's ready And do you think it 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: helped that he's been able to kind of sit behind 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Rashard the last five games and not kind of be 65 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: the guy as he kind of transitions into right now 66 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: as the way back. Do you think he's ready for 67 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: that moment right now? Ray? You know, I think he 68 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: is because even in the game and in a few 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: games he's had a few carries. You know, he's kind 70 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: of been a little bit like he seems like very excitable. 71 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: You know, he got the ball in my hands. Oh man, 72 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: I gotta go do something. So he kind of, you know, 73 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: was kind of running, not out of control, but just 74 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: not in the type of control you used to seeing 75 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: him in. But then you can actually see in this 76 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: game he had you know, one or two carries earlier 77 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: where we saw like, man, he's like moving just a 78 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: little too fast, there was a little bit ahead of 79 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the blocking, and then all of a sudden he kind 80 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: of got himself calmed down, made put his foot in 81 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: the ground, made the cut, and the next you know, 82 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: he has a big, big, long touchdown. So I think 83 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: he's ready. And the one thing about him I remember 84 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: him from college is that he was like led the 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: country or was like in the top you know, three 86 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: or four or five running backs in the country with 87 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: yards have to contact. So even though he's maybe twning 88 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: ten or fifteen pounds versus twening thirty five pounds, he 89 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: still has a knack for running through you know, tackles 90 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: and getting yards after contact. So I'm excited to see 91 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: what he brings. I think he'll probably had a little 92 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: bit more to the passing game. But also, you know, 93 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: with DJ Dallas and you know, I'm not sure who 94 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: else they may bring in, but DJ Dallas, you know, 95 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: can't you know, you know, count him out either. He's 96 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: going to do something every time he gets in there 97 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: to bring some value to the running back room. And 98 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: Big Ray. Speaking of running the football, I'm gonna flip 99 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: it over to the New Orleans Saints. Man. They had 100 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: a day. Takes Hill had one twelve or three touchdowns, 101 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: Camara had twenty three carries for one oh three Overall, 102 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: they ran at forty eight times for two hundred and 103 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: thirty five yards. It's it's clear what teams are going 104 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: to do to attack the Seahawks. How do they at 105 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: least take a step forward in definity of the run game. 106 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I have to fix it overnight. But how did they 107 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: get better? Yeah, you know, I think you know, we 108 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit last week leading into 109 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: that game. It's like, you know, I think a lot 110 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: of guys are trying to be assignment perfect and so 111 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: you tend to like play with a little less aggression 112 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: when you're just trying to make sure you get to 113 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: the right place. But now I think they didn't need 114 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: to get to the right place and then be football players, 115 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: so you know, getting off blocks and making tackles, making 116 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: sure you're in the same gap, but you're showing up 117 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: in the gap to make a play, not just by 118 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: so you get a plus on the on the on 119 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: the assignment um chart. And then we heard a lot 120 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: of the uh, you know, some of the veterans after 121 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: the game, you're just talking about the whole accountability thing. 122 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's something they kind of went to a 123 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: couple of years ago and they had the big meeting 124 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: and uh had this big accountability thing, and it seemed 125 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: like the defense got better after that. So you know, 126 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that, uh, this would be a time 127 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: to panic and like change your defense. But if there's 128 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: a way to get a bigger body uh. And on 129 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: the defensive line uh and some of those early rundowns. 130 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: I think it might help. Right now, when you run 131 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: like those three four concepts, you have natural um gap 132 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: so over the guards would make which make it easy 133 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: for them to get up to the linebackers. So that's 134 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: creating a problem. And then you have to maybe look 135 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: and see if if you have the type of defensive 136 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: lineman big news down that can really two gamped that 137 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: way and hold up a double team and not get 138 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: driven down the field. So there's a little bit of 139 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: adjustment I think they're gonna have to make. And then, 140 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: like we said, it's just gonna have to be a 141 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: little bit at a time. It's not gonna happen something overnight. Well, Ray, 142 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: give me something to look positive front. You know, obviously 143 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: the Seaffs are giving up a lot of yards right now. Defensively, 144 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: they did force four punts. The rookie Treek Willins had 145 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: three games with three turnovers. Kobe Bryant made a couple 146 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: of plays. What are you seeing from that defense? On 147 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: a good note that you think is going to translate 148 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: moving forward this year and give you know, fans out 149 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: there a reason to be excited about the potential of 150 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: this defense turning things around. Well, the one person that 151 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: I've just been bawling like all the last year and 152 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: this year is Al Woods. I mean, he's a force 153 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: in the middle. We saw yesterday where he took on 154 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: the center, took on the guard, took on the tackle, 155 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: and then made the tackle in the backfield. So he's 156 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: playing some really good football and he's really trying to 157 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: hold down when he can in the middle. I think 158 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: Niosu didn't have as many stats this pass, but he 159 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: has been a good pick up for the Seahawks. He's 160 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: been very active getting after the quarterback and getting hits 161 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: on the quarterback and making plays. And then you have 162 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: to look at those the two rookies. You know, Kobe 163 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: Bryant has been on the um. You know, had maybe 164 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: a couple of penalties, but he's also created two fumbles 165 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: in the last two games. And then Tari would and 166 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: like you said, is three games I guess in the 167 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: row with interception. So all those things are things to 168 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: look good. I think yesterday, um, the Jordan Brooks that 169 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: we were expecting to see kind of showed up. He 170 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: made some some big hits and some big tackles around 171 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage versus you know, a lot of 172 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: yards down the field. So I think those are some 173 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: really good things to look to look after. I think 174 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Darryl Taylor, you know, like watching him a little bit 175 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: more closely yesterday, Like he's not getting as much um 176 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: uh playmaking this as he was last year. But also 177 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: he's getting double team a lot, so they're putting their 178 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: they're chipping in with the tight end and then he 179 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: has to get through the tackle, so it may be 180 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: opening it up for other guys to do some damage. 181 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: So even though he doesn't have the numbers we would like, 182 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: he's pulling attention away from other folks. So to me, 183 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: those are good things. Those are good things to think 184 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: about this. And the other thing is that they have 185 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: all the pieces. They have all the players, even once 186 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: Jamal Adam has been out, you know Neil as a playmaker. 187 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: You know, they have guys that can make plays. They 188 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: just have to, you know, get a hold of that 189 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: accountability thing, show up with bad intentions and then and 190 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: then remember that they're football players. You know that they 191 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: don't have to just it's not just about being a 192 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: right with the assignment. But it's just getting to the 193 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: assignment and then doing what you're what you're paid to 194 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: do with Just play football. Stop folks, Hey, Ray, this 195 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: is the fifth week in a row. I look at 196 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback position and I'm just um optimistic. I love 197 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing Now. We saw this offense go one 198 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: for nine on third downs, But how they made up 199 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: for this was just six explosive plays. Man, they had 200 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: to drive a five player seventy five yard touchdown. Three 201 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: plays fifty yard touchdown, three seventy five yard touchdowns. Like 202 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: they're showing a different dynamic. We knew Gino was a 203 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: conduct type of guy, but now he's stowing the full 204 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: ball down the field. Um, what did that make you 205 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: think about this offense overall? Is it safe to say 206 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: they're complete? You know, It's like there's an old saying, 207 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: when people show you who they are, you should believe them, 208 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: and so I think Gino has certainly done that. Uh. 209 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: You know, we thought this was going to be a 210 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: big test because this is one of the top defenses 211 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: in the league and Gino just look like the same 212 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: old Gino that he's been been all year. Like the 213 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: dimes he's been dropping the way he has has command 214 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: of the offense, I think, even though it's just starting 215 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: to get a little attention, but the idea if you 216 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: have two rookie tackles playing and they're not getting a 217 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: whole lot of help, and they're taking on the better 218 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: pass rushers in this league by themselves, and over the 219 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: last two games, I think they gave up maybe one 220 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: sack and one hit. So those guys are really balling out. 221 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: And then they're showing the ability to run the ball, 222 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: not just m when they want to run the ball, 223 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: like sometimes like it's easy to run the ball when 224 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: you know you're throwing the ball all over the place 225 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and the thief has a softened up, But when the 226 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: defense knows you want to run the ball and you're 227 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: able to run the ball, then that says a lot 228 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: about the efficiency of your of your blocking up front. 229 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: So I like what they see in the offense. This 230 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: is what I was expecting to see. H teene Waldron 231 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: game play calling, Geno's ability to have the freedom to 232 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: check out the line of scrimmage and put them in 233 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: the right place. All those things just seem to be 234 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: coming together at the right time for this for this 235 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: offense and for this team, and so if you get 236 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: the defense kind of going, then this could be a 237 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: way better season than a lot of people have thought. 238 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: And already the offensive, you know, are way better than 239 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: of what a lot of people thought. I hope you're right, Ray, 240 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: I feel good about it. I feel great about this offense. 241 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, I think they're they're there. You know, 242 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of good players on this team. They're 243 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: places to be made. They can get a lot better, 244 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: and I think hopefully we'll start to see that. Ray. 245 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: As always, we appreciate you breaking it down and hopping 246 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: on with us, and we will talk to you next week. 247 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: All right, Sure, you guys have a good one. Thanks Ray. 248 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: That was inside the trenches with Ray Roberts. Now it's 249 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: tiding to figure out what had happened. See what happened 250 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: at first, what had happened was unhard knock. Well, Um, 251 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: if you've learned anything about watching Seahawks football in the 252 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: last I don't know, fifteen years, you know it's nothing 253 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: disappoint It's gonna be entertaining. And my mess with your 254 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: heart a little bit, and my mess with that heart 255 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: right up down, up down, Sunday did not disappoint terms 256 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: of that being an up and down crazy game. Unfortunately, 257 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: it was disappointing in the final outcome as the Seahawks 258 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: lose to the Saints. Things got going pretty okay, you know, defensively, 259 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: they get a stop, you know, the Saints kick a 260 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: field goal, throw up three nothing. Then the Seahawks answer 261 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: with a five play seventy five yard drive ending with 262 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: the fifty yard bomb the DK metcalf making the score 263 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: seventy three. And I just love how they start. Man, 264 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: They're starting fast. Geno's in control from the first snap 265 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: of the game, taking him down on a nice drive, 266 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: and he's always poised. He's moving to his left, he's 267 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: doing things in the pocket and lending that and fly 268 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: down the field. So it was great to see that, 269 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, kind of start the game off on a 270 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: good note. Yeah, they start off on a good note. 271 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: And then they hold the Saints to a field goal. 272 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: So you're looking at the defense, You're like, okay, we're 273 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: making some progress. You held him to him a field goal, 274 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: and then the Hawks will get the ball. Boom. Jason 275 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: Marris kicks a field goal, right we saw him last week, 276 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: miss one so we're seeing positivity early. We're like, okay, 277 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: you hold the Saints to a field goal, you drive 278 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: down the field, you score with DK, and then you 279 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: kick a field goal. You're up ten to three. Then 280 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: the Saints will kind of find their group. They go 281 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: on to ten place sixty nine yard drive with Taysom 282 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Hill just the beginning of the day for Taysom Hill, 283 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and they had an eight yard touchdown time the score 284 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: at ten ten. We saw a lot of this throughout 285 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: the game. Now it's number seven was getting busy. Yeah, 286 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: Taysom hill Man, we know what he was at YU, 287 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: we know what he is in the NFL. But he's 288 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: a Swiss Army Knife. He is a guy that you 289 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: cannot replicating for that Staints offense. He's everything. He's a receiver, 290 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: he's a quarterback, he's a running back, he's running back 291 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: kickoff returns, he's running down on plunt, he's running down 292 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: on special team. So he's Taysom Hill. He brought it 293 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: last Sunday and that it was rough for that Seahawks defense. 294 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: You know, as the game though went on, they would 295 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: both teams would exchange punts. Seahawks go three and out, 296 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: leading to another Michael Dixon punt, and this is where 297 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: things kind of broke down. Pete Carroll said after the game. 298 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: It was indeed not a fake punt, you know. It 299 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: was rugby style punt where the punter kind of holds 300 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit, runs to the riot, everyone 301 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: kind of shuffles and they punted down. Unfortunately, things got 302 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: a little messy. Michael Dixon didn't think he'd get the 303 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: punt off, and eventually it was tackled by believe Taysom Hill. 304 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Ye people God, for an eight yard loss and the 305 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: Saints took over Boom. Two plays theater, they're in the 306 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: end zone with again a Taysom Hill touchdown, making the 307 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: score seventeen ten. Yeah, they made it seventeen ten. And 308 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: then we saw a familiar thing rookie's making plays right. 309 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant was forced to fumble, so Rik Willin will 310 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: recover it, and then that set up at thirty five 311 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: yard touchdown from Genome to Tyler Locket, making a score 312 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: nineteen to seventeen. And then the second half started out 313 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: bad for the Seahawks. Many get a fumble by DK 314 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: medcalf I didn't think it was a fumble that elbow 315 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: looked down to me, but I'm not the referee. I'm 316 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: not in New York. And that's set a big Chris 317 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Olave touchdown, making the score twenty four two nineteen. That 318 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: was a tough swing right there. Tough swing. Seahawks have 319 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: momentum coming out of the half. They turn it over 320 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: on that possession, like you said, and I thought DK 321 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: was down, and then and then on the flip side 322 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the Olive touchdown. You know, I probably think they got 323 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: it right, but it was still just to have those 324 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: bang bang calls both go against you like that, for 325 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: DKs to be a fumble and then Allive is to 326 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: be a catch through. It was just it was a 327 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: really tough break and then you know, fourteen point swing 328 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks potentially. Then as a game, continuing three 329 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: three straight Seahawk punts, they did get back in the 330 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: end zone with an amazing forty yard bomb from Gino 331 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: Smith to Tyler Lockett, making it thirty one twenty five. 332 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: The Hawks would then force another punt, setting up a 333 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: sixty nine yard touchdown round by ken Walker, making the 334 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: score thirty two to thirty one with sixty fifty four 335 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: remaining in the fourth quarter bump. Things were looking good. Yep, 336 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: it was looking good. But however, that was the last 337 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: time the Seahawks would leave. The Saints would answer right 338 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: back man with a sixty yard a touchdown run by 339 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: who other Whoever. Then it'll Taysom breaking Hill making a 340 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: score thirty nine at thirty two, and then the Hawks 341 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: would punt in their and sewing possession, then initially ending 342 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: the game. That was tough because you felt like it 343 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: was a one band, one man band named Taysom Hill 344 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: with a sprinkle of Kamara in there, and that was 345 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: enough for the Saints a get or done. Yeah. The 346 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: Saints dominate time in possession thirty seven to thirty seven 347 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: and thirty five to twenty two twenty five. Saints had 348 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty yards of total offense to rush 349 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: for two hundred thirty five as you mentioned earlier, and 350 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks were also penalized twelve times for eighty five yards. 351 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: That's definitely something they want to get cleaned up. It's 352 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: kind of lingered throughout the last couple of weeks, and 353 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: this is another disappointing game. You know, the Seahawks were 354 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: state here at two and three definitely in the thick 355 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: of it right now in the NFC West. But you 356 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: just look at that and you go, man, you look 357 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: at that schedule and you think, at the very least 358 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: this team should probably be four and one yep, easily, easily. Man. 359 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: It's and that's the disappointing part, but it could be 360 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: the part that makes you optimistic because you feel like 361 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: they should be fourgn one. So they're doing enough things 362 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: to be in the game. It's got to tighten up 363 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: some things. No to nine defense, gott to tighten up offense. 364 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Can't go one for nine on third downs again this week. 365 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, rating this together, stay in the fight. 366 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: Come on, man, let's go. All right, let's see you 367 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: made some plays. Playmakers got started. The quarterback Geno Smith 368 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: killing the game sixteen and twenty five two hundred and 369 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, QB rating of 370 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: one thirty nine point seven. Still had a sixty four 371 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: percent complete or percentage, which is pretty good for most 372 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the National Football League, But for Gino Smith, 373 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: that was his worst completion percentage by a little bit 374 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: this whole season, or let's first time this year he's 375 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: been under seventy two percent, obviously still playing great football, 376 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: gave him a chance to win. I deluded to it earlier. 377 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: He's made a ton of plays, rolling to his leaf, 378 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: that diming through the nowad fan the ball he through 379 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: to Tyler Lockett's flitting the safeties at the end of 380 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: the half there. I was stunned by kind of how 381 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: the New Orleans played that at the end of the 382 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: half time and score. They looked like they were in 383 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: kind of like a Tampa two look, and they were 384 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: just you know, Tyler Lockett, this finds way in to 385 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: see him in. The ball was thrown only where Tyler kokatch. 386 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: Just so, Geno Smith is playing at an MVP type level, 387 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: and he's doing a week after week after week. So 388 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: at some point, as Ray said it, he is showing 389 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: you who he is, right, this is who he is, 390 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: and that the road to Tyler Lockett you mentioned it 391 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: was on the dime. Tyler does a good job moving 392 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the safety. I mean he's showing folks I can throw 393 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: that football down in the field too. Said with Ray, 394 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: I'm not just some dink and dumb type of guy. 395 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: Next playmaker, We're gonna depend on this guy heavily. Now 396 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: that rare shot Penny is out, it's Ken Walker. Eight 397 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: carries eighty a yards, one touchdown, scored his first NFL touchdown. 398 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: His first touchdown for Michigan State when he transferred was 399 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: a seventh yard touchdown. His first touchdown with the Seahawks 400 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: sixty nine yard touchdown. I missed it by by one yard. 401 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're gonna depend on this young man. And 402 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: you see what he can do. You see the shiftiness, 403 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: you see the speed. I think once he learns the 404 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: temple of the game, he's a bit more patient in 405 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: that zone. Look, he's going to be fine. But this 406 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: is why you draft the running back this because you 407 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: don't know. With Rashad Penny, he's shown that he know 408 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: he gets banged up, and you never wish this on 409 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: Rashad and Penny the whole twenty. You get better, man, 410 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: you come back strong. But this is why you have 411 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: a stable full of running backs. Oh absolutely, you can 412 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: never have enough running backs. And you mentioned it with Rashad. 413 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: Rashad is one of the best dudes in this locker room. 414 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: And I my heart hurts for him because I know 415 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: how hard he's worked, I know how humble he is, 416 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: I know how just appreciative he is to have the 417 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: opportunity to go out with his teammates every week. And 418 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: he was bawling, he was falling. He was gonna be 419 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: at a pace where I swear, you know, I think 420 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: we mentioned it on Hawks Live. You know, if he 421 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: got the right amount of carries, I think he could 422 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: be a top rusher in that l I think he 423 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: was top three. That was the pace he was gonna 424 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: be on. So huge bummer. But as you alluded to, 425 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: I know the Seahawks took a lot of you know, 426 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: flack for drafting and running back in the second round. Well, 427 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: believe it or not, it looks like John Schneider and 428 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll company know what they're doing. Sure mind know 429 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. So no, I love to see it. 430 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: I think Ken Walker is is gonna be a big 431 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: part of this office moving forward. So hoping we get 432 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: more of that. The other playmaker, Tyler Lockett five reception, 433 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: two hundred and four yards, two touchdowns. Lockett passed his 434 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: teammate Doug Baldwin for fifth place on Seattle's all time 435 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: total touchdowns list fifty, also past Sean Alexander for second 436 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: place on Seattle's all time combines yard lists. And the 437 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,239 Speaker 1: crazy thing about Tyler bump as he did all of 438 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: that in the second half. Tyler had zero receptions at halftime. 439 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned right for the halftime show, like, 440 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Tyler's gotta target yet, and then just 441 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: goes off in the second half. Yeah, Tyler man, he's 442 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: he's sneaky, mister consistent, misreliable. You can always count on 443 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: sixteen to make some plays where there's either intermediate or 444 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: deep talk about the other receiver over there. Number fourteen, 445 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: Dk Metcalfy had five receptions eighty eight yards one touchdown. 446 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: Metcalf scored his thirty first career receiving touchdown, tying him 447 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,199 Speaker 1: with Steve Largen for third place for the most receiving 448 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the players first four seasons in franchise history. 449 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: All Right, so every time they have a game, they're 450 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna hit a new market, seems like, because that's two 451 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: weeks in a row where they're passing somebody up for something. 452 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: And DK could have had two touchdowns. I'm sure he's 453 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: watching the film right kicking him stuff. But DK and 454 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: Lockett having solid games at the same time. That's the 455 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: first time that's happened this year. Usually I think they 456 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: take turns. One guy leads to charge, the other guy 457 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: plays robbing to the batman. But it was nice seeing 458 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: Milakee get going and seeing DK do it as well. Yep, 459 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: gotta love it both those two. This offense obviously goes 460 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: with the run game, but at fourteen and sixteen are 461 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: making plays. They're definitely a dangerous unit going on the 462 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: defensive side, Chariq Willing just being consistent, mister rookie man. 463 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 1: Four tackles, one interception, one pass offended, one fumble recovery, 464 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: and man, that's three consecutive games with an interception. He's 465 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: just making plays. He is just making plays. And you 466 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: go a week before that he blocks a kick at 467 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco. He is just putting his imprint on every 468 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: game plan and they're not micro Strufant mentioned it. A 469 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: lot of guys have talked about it. He's getting interceptions, 470 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: but he's taking the ball away. Ball is not just 471 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: being thrown to him. It's not an overthrow like, oh, 472 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, lucky interception. No, he's making plays out there. 473 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: Great technique. I love what I'm seeing from the rookie 474 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: and he's just been I don't know where this defense 475 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: will be without Trek Won right now, and it's just 476 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 1: it's just a blessing to see where he's at and 477 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: just scary to see how good he can become. I mean, 478 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: Ryani said the post game instead, they're gonna stop testing 479 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: that man. You know they're gonna they're gonna see it 480 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: on film and stop throwing at him. But I hope 481 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: they do, because you're throwing at him. Tarka is gonna 482 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: come up with an interception. Last playmakers Jordan brooks Man, 483 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: he had eleven tackles, one pass defending, one QB hit, 484 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 1: was probably the best player on defense against the Saints, 485 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: and he was playing with an intensity then we haven't 486 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: seen yet. I mean, he's making open filled tackles and 487 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: he's not just getting him to the ground, he's driving 488 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: him to the ground. He's making the violent play, very physical, 489 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: fast type of player. That was his game. That's what 490 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: we knew of him, you know what I'm saying. So 491 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: it's nice to see him get back to the old 492 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: Jordan breaks. He's always filled up the stat the stat line, 493 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: that's what he does every single game. But he played 494 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: with a different type of intensity this game. Yeah, Jordan 495 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: Brooks is a guy that I've been saying for a 496 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: couple of years now. I think he's going to jump 497 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: to that Pro Bowl, you know, getting votes for All 498 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: Pro type status eventually, and I think I think yesterday 499 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: was the start of just him playing with that, and 500 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 1: he kind of just felt like he was playing more. Obviously, 501 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: it's tough in this scheme when you got guards in 502 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: everyone getting that second level quickly, but he was just 503 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: playing fast and aggressive. So love to see it from him. Now. 504 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: Flipping back to the offense, taking a look at this 505 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver round up, looks like still spreading the wealth 506 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: around one, two, three, four, five, six different guys with 507 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: receptions on Sunday. Yeah, that's always good man. I like 508 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: being around six to eight. You get six to eight 509 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: guys involved in the past game means you're getting your 510 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: two headed monster in DK and Tyler involved, and then 511 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: you typically get three tight ends involved in a couple 512 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: of running backs and a miscellaneous type dud. But that's 513 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: what we're seeing. NOE Fan probably had his most targets 514 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: all year. He had five targets, three receptions forty nine 515 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: yards uncle Will had two for twenty one. DJ Dallas 516 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: got in the mix as well. Then d Eskers with 517 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: a target. We saw him out on the field a 518 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: lot more than we have in the past few weeks, 519 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: So maybe that's the forth shadowing there. We might see 520 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: a little bit more of D squares number one. Yeah, 521 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna talk about d Stritch again in the 522 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: second here as we flip over the coach's corner, one 523 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: of the best plays from Sunday and that was ken 524 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: Walker taking it sixty nine yards to the house. Walker 525 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: the single setback a tight slot on the right side 526 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: is Escridge and Locket. Gino now walks over to talk 527 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: to them, comes back to the work center, talks to Medcalf. 528 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: Now goes under center on second down in short turns 529 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: hands for Walker, got a little running room, brek free 530 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: forty good fail, he is gonna go forty thirty twenty. 531 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: Look at the rookie cuts down Shayhawks ken Walker the third, 532 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: he's been bumping around in there all afternoon, finally finds 533 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: a gap and he is gone sixty nine yards hold 534 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: a touchdown, scamper him. The Seahawks have tied this up 535 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: at thirty one a piece um break it down for us. Man. 536 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: It's a little zone. Lucky guy. You got Uncle Will 537 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: to the right at the tighten spot attached to the 538 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. You got sixteen and number one Dscris 539 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: to the right of uncle Will Disley, and it's just 540 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: a zone left. Look, and here's the thing about this zone. 541 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: The zone. You always want to give the play side 542 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: a chance to work. You press the b gap to 543 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: the play side, that's the left side, and then if 544 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: nothing's there, you look for that cutback. I'm gonna save 545 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: d Askris for you because I know what you're gonna say, Bouts. 546 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Uncle Will and Tyler Lockett on 547 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: this right here. Uncle Wood is a great job of 548 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: not feeling that d n Cam Jordan but forcing him 549 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: out sign in the number sixteen. Tyler Lockett not the 550 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: biggest man in the world, but understands, Okay, if there's 551 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: a cut bat lane, I have to make sure I 552 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: have some inside levershare to hold off this defender. And 553 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: then ken Walker just has the vision, the flow and 554 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: the speed to turn on the jets. You see Tyler 555 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: Lockets celebrating as soon as he turns and looks touchdown, 556 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: first touchdown of young career ken Walker yep, first of 557 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: hopefully many touchdowns for ken Walker. His explosiveness is it's 558 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: good to see the Seahawks, even without war Shot Penny, 559 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: have another legitimate home run threat in the backfield. He 560 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: looks like he's going to pick up right where Shot 561 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: Penny left off on explosive plays over thirty yards hopefully 562 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: a lot more touchdowns. But Bumpy mentioned it and d 563 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: Espridge hasn't done a lot in the statue necessarily, but 564 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: he's playing a lot more. And if you want to 565 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: start making plays, it starts right here in the run 566 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: game you mentioned him. He's at the top of the 567 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: formation and he gets a blocke on the safety and 568 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: that's a touchdown block. That's a block that really springs him. 569 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, ken Walker has a great vision, he cuts back, 570 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: he's in the second level, but what really gets him 571 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: is the estridges block on the safety, and then he 572 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: also gets just enough the safety to kind of get 573 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: him in the other defensive backs way and then with 574 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: ken Walker speed, he's gone. You know, so I love that. 575 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: And who's the first person down there to celebrate with him? 576 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: Ds Rich and you know another thing I like about 577 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: the rookie is he I guess the yes is a 578 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: second year player, but he's essentially a rookie because he 579 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: missed so much time last year. Yeah, he even let 580 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: ken Walker do his thing. Wasn't sure where the celebration 581 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: was gonna be let him do his thing, don't interrupt 582 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: it till he's done, and then he celebrate with your boys. 583 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: So love what I'm seeing from Dskros. That was a 584 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: fun play and Ken ken Walker, Man, I think Bump 585 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: we got something good here. Tom to roll, Let's go Kim. 586 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: Unfortunately we were in our favorite formation last week. We 587 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: had been away from him for two weeks. But unfortunately 588 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: clock ran out once again. Une taking them fire Huntley. 589 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: They're just gonna let the clock wind down. But it's 590 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: not even gonna bother taking that last time out. Seahawks 591 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: really came down to them not being able to stop 592 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, who I want to say almost single handily 593 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: won the game for the Saints. Nine carries, one hundred 594 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 1: and twelve yards, three touchdowns. Also is one for one 595 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: passing with twenty two yards and a touchdown, a counter 596 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: for all but one touchdown, and it was really the 597 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: do it all guy for the Saints on Sunday, and 598 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: he definitely made the Seahawks hurt for it. Yeah. Man, 599 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: it was a Taysom Hill show. And I said a 600 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: sprinkle of album Camara earlier though, still had over one 601 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground. You know what I'm saying. 602 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: It's Taysom Hill just did it all. You mentioned three touchdowns, 603 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: one passing touchdown. It was just too many explosive plays, right. 604 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: You got what six yard run by a Taysom Hill, 605 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: you got a fifty four yard run by Camara. It's 606 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: just right when you think you had them bottled up, 607 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: they will make a play. And they dominated the time 608 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: of possession. If you don't have the ball all right, 609 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: you're not controlling the temple of the game. You can't 610 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: make that many plays. Saints held the ball for thirty 611 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: seven minutes, the Hawks helder for twenty two. Yeah, and 612 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: then you look at total offense. Saints four hundred and 613 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: thirty eight yards. The Seahawks did, okay, they had three 614 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: ninety six. But when you're giving up consistently over four 615 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense, it's gonna be hard to win 616 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: any of those games. Giving up over two hundred rush yards. 617 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to win any of those games. 618 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: And it sucks because they did get off the field 619 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: of times. They did make some plays, but you know, 620 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: the worst case scenario for them, you know, things just 621 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: happen breaking down on key plays and just too much 622 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: of that, unfortunately, and too many big plays for them 623 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: to get anything done. Big plays and penalties. The Hawks 624 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: are penalized twelve times for eighty five yards. That is 625 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: a recipe for disaster, big plays, penalty, and those penalties 626 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: were timely too. There's a couple of third down penalties. 627 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: There were one for eight on third down, so that 628 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: contributed to it as well. But you know how this 629 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: league goes, man, watch the film, learn from it. You 630 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: still gotta play ball, baby, come on. And again, it's 631 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: disappointing in a loss as we sit here on Monday 632 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: telling the truth about what happened yesterday. But this team 633 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: has shown a ton of reasons why they can be successful. 634 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: We said it earlier. This team easily could be four 635 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: and one on the season, and I think it's something 636 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: that they're gonna get there. It just needs some time. Luckily, 637 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: they're gonna have some home cooking as they return home 638 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: to Looman Field. This Sunday taken on the Arizona Cardinals. 639 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: That could be busy down there in Soda, but we'll 640 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: be back with you guys on Wednesday to let you 641 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: know all about the team, the Cardinals. We were playing 642 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: from my co host, Michael Bambas, I'm Nasa Chobe. This 643 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: has been another edition of Hawk Talk. Unfortunately, the Seahawks 644 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: drop the game to the Saints thirty nine thirty two. 645 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you on Wednesday.
