With 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: a short week, it might be tough for some guys 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: to make it, but like every week, head coach Pete 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: Carroll stepped up to the podium and gave us a 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: run down on some injuries. We'll hear about Benson Mayowa, 26 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, But coach got things 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: going with Darryl Taylor, Daryl.

You know, he's gonna see if 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: he can make it. And uh, he might be a 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: little grumpy about it. I don't know what. How did 36 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: Tyler and DK come out yesterday? Um, seemingly well they came, 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: they came out of the thing.

We'll see how we handle it. 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: But both guys made it through and we were very 42 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: very fortunate in terms of getting guys nicked in the game. 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Not to say that some guys didn't, but it's, uh, 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: we have a chance to get to get everybody up well, 45 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: so some goodness and bad well, we'll have to wait 46 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: and see. Hopefully Carlos stun laugh feels okay with that 47 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: kind of turf toe injury. Ben Tomayo has missed the 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and DK Metcalf and Tyre Lockett 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: have had a couple of nagging injuries, but they haven't 50 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: missed anytime. So let's get right into it, man. What's 51 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: on tap? What's on tap? What's on tap? The Los 52 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Angeles Rams are making a trip to Seattle. They are 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: three on one their very first week. They beat the 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears thirty four to fourteen. Then they beat the 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: Colts twenty seven to twenty four. Then they beat the 56 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is when I'm starting to buy 57 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: into the Rams. Hype them by man, they'd beat Tommy 58 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: and the Boys thirty four to twenty four. But then 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals were mine pots. You cannot forget about them. 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: They lose to the Cardinals thirty seven to twenty. The 61 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Rams look like the best team in the NFC after 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: three weeks and maybe the entire NFL, especially after that 63 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: win against Tom Brady and the Boys, the defending Super 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: Bowl champions. But on Sunday things changed. Man, the Cardinals 65 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: they're impressive. I was just watching Steven's a list and 66 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: he has them as the number one team in the NFL. 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: We know stephen A's kind of crazy, but he might 68 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: have a point right here. I think they're the remaining 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: only remaining undefeated team in the NFL. They handed it 70 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to the Rams thirty four to thirteam. They came out high. 71 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: It was actually the Raums were up ten to seven 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: at one point, but after that it was all downhill. 73 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: Colin American teams just to look good. Twenty four thirty two, 74 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty eight yards, two touchdowns, six carriages 75 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: for forty nine yards, and he did something nasty. I 76 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: was impressive. It was like thirteen third and sixteen, no problem. 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: I'll get outside the pocket. I'll scammer for another thirteen 78 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: to sixteen yards. When you have a quarterback like that 79 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: plus some weapons that he has around them, they're just 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: hard to defend. Yeah, Colin Murray's looked great. Man. We 81 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: and you have been big supporters of Colin Murray throughout 82 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: this podcast. Last year we kind of thought was a 83 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: year that he was going to take that step in 84 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, We're going to kind of emerge the team 85 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: that was gonna be really tough to contend with in 86 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: the NFC West, and I think we were just a 87 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: year ahead of schedule. It's only been four weeks, but man, 88 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: these Cardinals look really, really good. Like you mentioned, Colin 89 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: Murray's putting up great numbers and he's doing more than 90 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: just with his legs. He's doing with his arms. He's 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: making good decisions and they have their whole offense going. 92 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds had things going on the ground, had one 93 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards and twelve carries. James Connor had fifty 94 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. The Old Heads, the Ogs, AJ Green, 95 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: Andre Hopkins nine receptions for one thirty four and a 96 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: tad combined bump. The Cardinals scored on seven of eight 97 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: possessions after opening game of the punt, so they had 98 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: things going. But the biggest point in the game bump. 99 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: The biggest reason for that lopside of victory was Arizona 100 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: scored touchdowns on both of LA's turnovers. Yeah, and local 101 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: kid Byron Murphy got things going. Intercepted a pass from 102 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford undercut. It was a pretty nice play right there, 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: due showing why he is in the NFL. The Titan 104 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: Wims called a tough football in the end zone. Was 105 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: a bang bang play. Kyla Murdis floats one down the team. 106 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: When you got a big tight end like that, it 107 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: is hard to do. Now, the Rams struggled offensively. Matthew 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: Stafford was twenty six to forty one two hight yards 109 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: with two touchdowns and one interception, and mister reliable just 110 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: couldn't get going. Ask Cooper Cup. He struggled. He had 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: thirteen targets bowing five receptions sixty four yards. We just 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: don't see that out of Cooper Cup. Now, I put 113 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: some of it on the Aros on a defense. Now 114 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: I washed the game and they're just all over the dude, 115 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: whenever the ball is thrown at him. The obviously game 116 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: planning for him. They were ready to go, but you 117 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: can't expect that it happened two weeks in a row. Now. Now, 118 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Sean mcvayh is two, he's two talented drawing up plays. 119 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford for that matter, are two talented. 120 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: So Cooper Cup is definitely gonna be one of the 121 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: top targets that we're gonna have to look out forward 122 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. We this Thursday night. Let's look at this 123 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: head to head though bump as we get in the 124 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: matchup between the Seahawks and the Rams. You know, I'll 125 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: just start with this. We'll talk about later. But the 126 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: Rams last year, they were the class of NFL. When 127 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: it comes to defense, there were number one total defense, 128 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: number one in a ton of different categories. But they've 129 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: really struggled the last two weeks. They're now twenty seventh 130 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: in total defense given up three hundred and ninety six 131 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: yards a game, twenty second rush defense one hundred twenty 132 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: three a game, and twenty fifth when it comes to 133 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: past defense, given up two hundred and seventy three yards 134 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: a game. So it's a little bit surprising, you know. 135 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: I know that they lost Staley, who's now the head 136 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: coach of the Chargers. They got Raheem more so as 137 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: a dc SO and he's been around the block for 138 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: a minute, so it'll be interesting to see what's happened. 139 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: But the last two weeks they've kind of got schemed 140 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: up and a lot of points scored on him. And 141 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: then flipping over to the Seahawks, the Seahawks are training 142 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: in the right direction. It's not gonna be reflected in 143 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the head to heads. This is the same. It kind 144 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: of feels like deja vu. Last year, bump thirty two, 145 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: last in the league in total defense given up four 146 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: hundred and forty four yards a game thirty first, and 147 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: rush defense given up buck fifty two and twenty eighth 148 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: and pass I see if the defense given up two 149 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: or ninety two yards a game. Now, while those numbers 150 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: don't sound good when you sam, we saw some encouraging 151 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: things from that secondary, from the back seven, from the 152 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: defensive line getting sacks, getting pressure last week. So I 153 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: think we're training in the right direction when it comes 154 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: to defense, training in the right directions. Twelves you hear that. 155 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: I know. They are the thirty two total defense, but 156 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: they are training in the right direction. If you watch 157 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: the last game, they caused an intercessors, something that didn't 158 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: happen so far this year. There are some pass breakups. 159 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks had his first SAT as a professional. They're 160 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction offensively are These rams are 161 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: ranked seventh in the league. Excuse when it comes to 162 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: points per game and the Hawks are tenth to the 163 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: league points per game averaging twenty five. Now total offense 164 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: rams are eleven, the Seahawks are nineteen. Now I'm looking 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: at these numbers and nas and I'm like, okay, so 166 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be up. It's gonna be a shootout that 167 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: has the potential to be a shootout. You're looking after 168 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: the twenty seventh ranked defense versus thirty second rank defense. 169 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: Numbers might fool you, though, if the Hawks are training 170 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: in the right direction, and maybe they clamp down on 171 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: these guys a bit, but you gotta remember, man, we're 172 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: gonna get into these matches. Man. They got Cooper Cup 173 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: and a bunch of other guys over there as well, 174 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: all right. When it comes to turnover deferential, that's where 175 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: the Hawks are kind of doing okay, there are plus 176 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: three out of six in the league. The Rams are 177 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: zero have zero excuse me, differential zero, tied for fourteenth. 178 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: All right, man, Now, these guys have been battling for 179 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: a long time. They got some history. Let's get to 180 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: know it. No, your history, well, bumps. So the Seahawks 181 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: lead the all time series twenty five to twenty. Unfortunately, 182 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: the Rams have actually won five of the last seven 183 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: games in the regular season. The last two years, the 184 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: teams would split games, winning one, losing the other and 185 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: last meeting. I don't need to spend a lot of 186 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: time on this, twelves No, everyone else knows. Seahawks won 187 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: the division but lost in the wild card thirty to twenty. 188 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks struggled to get things going offensively, got behind early. 189 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: There's pick six from Darius Williams. Russell was just eleven 190 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: for twenty seven with one hundred and seventy four yards 191 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: and two tuds. Both those came dk Metcalf, who led 192 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: all receivers with five receptions in ninety six yards. But 193 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: I believe that was on like thirteen targets two touchdowns. 194 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: It just wasn't a great game. I know, really missed 195 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: the twelves in that one. Um, so it's really I'm 196 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: really excited to see this matchup primetime at Looming Field. 197 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: Kind of. I don't even I don't think I'll call 198 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: a revenge game because everyone goes year to year, But Bump, 199 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: you don't forget stuff, man, You don't forget the little 200 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: chitter chatter back and forth. You don't forget the subset 201 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: on social media. I know Jamal and those guys won't. 202 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready to play, and it's gonna be fun. Man, 203 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna be real fun. But we don't need to 204 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: talk about but well, the latest history because hopefully when 205 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: we talk about this we play them again, we'll have 206 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: a much better thing to talk about, hopefully about this game. 207 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: But man, let's stick in that NFC West. It's dangerous 208 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: what's the word? And the Seahawks were the NFC West 209 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: champs again. What's the word? In the West? On Hot Talk? 210 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: What's the word? Arizona Cardinals sit at the top of 211 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: the division at four and ohs. The Rams are right 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 1: behind them at three one, Seattle two and two, San 213 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: France two and two. The NFC West continues to be 214 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: strong man eleven and four through three weeks of the 215 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: NFL season. The only other division that's better is the 216 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: AFC West, So the West is just representing all day 217 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: all right? We got Week four was the first divisional matchup, 218 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: so we saw the division go wide. Are we're gonna 219 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: see some more this week. As we mentioned, the Cardinals 220 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: dominate the Rams, handing them their first loss and snapping 221 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: an eight game losing streak to the Rams. That's big. 222 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: The Cardinals are also off to their first four and 223 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: OL starts since twenty twenty one, looking for the first 224 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: winning season or division titles since twenty fifteen. The forty 225 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: nine is played the Cardinals this weekend, so we'll see 226 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: what happens there. Train Lambs has a full week of practice. 227 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: We'll see how that offense evolves. Last week it was 228 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: kind of thrown to the fire. It was real basic. 229 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: But the NFC West looks good man and this is 230 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: a big week because potentially the Cardinals could get their 231 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: first loss. The Seahawks can bump up to three and 232 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: two and they start to close the gap. Everyone starts 233 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: beating each other. You close the gap. It kind of 234 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: reminds me of the Pack Twell, it's like you got 235 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: a team that's balling balling in them. You're getting too 236 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: conference play and you start beating up on each other. Yep, No, 237 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: that's that's that's a great comparison, because, yeah, that's what's 238 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna happen this year. The league is way too tough. 239 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: And don't be surprised. You know, Trey Lands and the 240 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: Niners have a full week of practice. You know, Kyle 241 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: Shannahan's gonna is gonna script put them in the best 242 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: position to win. He had, it's gonna have a full 243 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: week to get Lance ready. So don't be surprised if 244 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the Niners go and shock the world and beat Arizona Cardinals. 245 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: Flip every flip the script do things differently. But man, yeah, 246 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: this is gonna be every single week. It's gonna be 247 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: tough in this division, and it's great to see two 248 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: tough divisional matchups. It's a tough for the Seahawks and 249 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: the Rams on a short week, but you're gonna get 250 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 1: depending on whoever wins this game, you're gonna get a 251 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: lot of rest in the back end. So we'll see 252 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: if it's worth it, man, But bump, let's waste no 253 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: more time. What's getting these matchups is this man man 254 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk. Man Up. We start where we 255 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: always do, looking at the quarterback. This time we're gonna 256 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: start with Matthew Stafford taking on the Seahawks defense. Matthew 257 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: Stafford in twenty twenty one is having a pretty good season. 258 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: He's ninety two of one thirty five for one thousand, 259 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty two yards in eleven touchdowns, just 260 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: two interceptions on the season, completing sixty eight percent of 261 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: his pass has only been sacked three times. He seems 262 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: to have found some new life in La Man. He 263 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: loves a lifestyle. It seems like everyone's having a good time. 264 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: He's great relationship with Sean mcvayh he's got Cooper Cup, 265 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: Robert was all these dudes. Now again, it's one quarter 266 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: of the way through the season. We've always known Stafford 267 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: was a talented quarterback. It was just kind of the 268 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: question of is he one of the top tier quarterbacks? 269 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I hate saying the word elite whatever, but is he 270 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: in that echelon? Right? I'm leaning towards he's just outside 271 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: of it. But honestly, do you think he do you 272 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: think he didn't get enough credit for how good he 273 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: was with the lines just because of how the lines organization. 274 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: And he's gonna show that this year, or do you 275 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: think at the end of the year will be like, yep, 276 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: that's he's as good as Matthew Safford as I thought 277 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: he'd be. It's like you said, we're a quarter the 278 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: way through the season. It's hard to really tell. But 279 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: you see some of the throws that he's making, right, 280 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: He's got Deshaan Jackson over there, Dee Ball Thram, yeah, 281 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and I'm watching the film and he looks 282 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: better than me. He looks more comfortable because he has 283 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: more weapons. Typically he's only had Calvin Johnson. Really, he's 284 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: closing his eyes, he's throwing it up there. I think 285 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: by the end of this year we will see him 286 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: in a better light than we did in Detroit. But 287 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: I still think he's not gonna be like the top five. 288 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's some guys in this league who have 289 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: been doing it and been doing it for a long time. 290 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know. He does look better, though, I 291 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: will give him that. He does look better. I like 292 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: his compulsion. Let's talk about the other quarterback, Russell Wilson 293 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: versus the Rams front seven at Russell Wilson is seventy 294 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: nine for one hundred and nine one thousand and forty 295 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: four yards, nine touchdowns, and zero interceptions, completing seventy two 296 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: percent of his passes. He's got fifteen carrens for fifty 297 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: eight yards one touchdown. He is the fastest quarterback to 298 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: one hundred wins. All this guy does is win except 299 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: against the Rams. For some reason. All right, He's at 300 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,119 Speaker 1: eight and eleven against the Rams and that's including the postseason. 301 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: He's been sacked sixteen times in the last three games 302 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: against the Rams. I'm gonna say Leonard Floyd has about 303 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: half of those things. And we all know, and like 304 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: I said, we know by Aaron Donald as well, something 305 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: about the Rams. Every quarterback has that team that just 306 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: gives them fits. Even Tom Brady in New England it 307 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: was Miami. For some reason, Miami would just give this 308 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: guy some fits. The nemesis for Russell Wilson is the 309 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. I'm not sure why, but I hope 310 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't continue on Thursday. Yeah, man, you look at 311 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: those numbers and it's tough. I mean, Russell Wilson and 312 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: guarantee you someone that he's played that many times, he's 313 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: got a winning record against you just do the math. 314 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: He's won too many football games. And then you just 315 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: look and you looking through some of the numbers, and 316 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, he's been sacked sixteen times in three games. 317 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: And that's not all. And let's not jump get ahead 318 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: of ourselves. That's not all on the offensive line. You know, 319 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: that's that's a joint that's a joint effort um there 320 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: and and some of those games, you know, one of 321 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: them the Seahawks still won. But we're gonna have to 322 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: do The Seahawks're gonna have to protect Russell better, you know, 323 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: and we're just gonna eat it. First of A, let's 324 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: block Leonard Floyd please, because for whatever reason, man, I 325 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: feel like he'd be having three sack games against us. Man, 326 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: he is a problem. We know. Aaron Donald's a problem. 327 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: You know. It'll be interesting to see when the Seahawks 328 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: get Brandon shellback. Um, Cedric a boy, he did a 329 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: nice job after settling in that first series, so he'll 330 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: be tested. Kyle Fuller last year, Um, however, it was 331 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: in a loss, stepped up and played really well. Um 332 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: playing on a broken ankle or whatnot. So it was 333 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: I was promising to see Derek lew got Lewis and 334 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: you got Gabe Jackson. So I feel I feel, I 335 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: feel good about it. I feel like Damian and those 336 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: guys are gonna gonna figure it out. And they don't 337 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: have a choice, bump. They don't because the Rams are coming. 338 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: We know that. So it's gonna be a tough day. 339 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: But I'm but Russell Man. I feel like he's due, 340 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: He's overdue for a big game against this team. Has 341 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: to be, has to be, man. This is your time 342 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: to shine. This is a big week, man. Last week 343 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: was a big week. This is a big week to two. 344 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: You can kind of change the shift of powers in 345 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: the NFC West. All right, Let's look at DK Metcalf 346 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: and Jalen Ramdazy Dk. So far they shared twenty receptions 347 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: for two hundred eighty five yards three touchdowns on thirty 348 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: three targets. Now, him and Jalen, it's a battle. They're 349 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: both two big men with big personalities. You know they're 350 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna get after him. In twenty nineteen, DK had six 351 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: receptions for seventy eight yards on six targets. November twenty 352 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: he had two receptions for twenty yards four targets. Down 353 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: game for him. In December of twenty twenty six receptions 354 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: for fifty nine yards on eight targets, and their final 355 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: matchup in January twenty twenty one, he had five receptions 356 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: for ninety six yards two touchdowns on eleven targets. He 357 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: needs to ride that way. From January twenty one, five receptions, 358 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: ninety six yards. He had a good game, and I 359 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: feel like he's in a different place now than he 360 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: was in all of these games, right. I think all 361 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: these games previously this year, he's still trying to prove himself. 362 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Maybe he knows that he's the man and he has 363 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: all these capabilities. But you know, they got people like 364 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: us talking about him. You got veterans in the league. 365 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna try to test them. Do their respect him 366 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: or not? This is gonna be a big matchup. I'm 367 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: looking forward to this one, oh, no question about it. 368 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Ramsey's one of the best corners in 369 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: the game. We know DK Metcals one of the best 370 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: wide receivers of the game. He adds something consistently to 371 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: his game as you mentioned on our last podcast, his 372 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: route running he's got is greater, his his catchabilities, radius, 373 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And you look at Ramsey on the 374 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: flip side of that matchup. In twenty twenties, got twenty tackles, 375 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: two TFLs, two pass defended, one I and T. Now 376 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: it gets metcalf. In December of nineteen he had four tackles. 377 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: In November of twenty he had two tackles. December of 378 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: twenty had one tackle, one pass defended. And in the 379 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: playoff game me and three tackles one pass defended. So 380 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 1: when you look at both these numbers, none of them 381 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: jump out on either side it's really good or really bad. 382 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: Now it's it's a hard matchup to look at because 383 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: it's not like the Rams are playing man to man 384 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: and Jalen has fallen DC every where he goes. They're 385 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna play some zones, they're gonna switch it up, right, 386 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: And just because DK doesn't go for two hundred yards 387 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he wasn't getting open, doesn't mean he wasn't 388 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: cooking him, doesn't mean he wasn't doing those things. So 389 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: sometimes it's kind of hard to look at. But bump 390 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: let me tell you though, when they do actually line 391 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: up against each other, boy, get your popcorn ready, because 392 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: I want to see that. You get two physical dudes, 393 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: and when one of them makes a play, you know 394 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna let the other one know about it. So 395 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really fun matchup and I'm excited 396 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: to see it. Yeah, I'm excited to see it as well. 397 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: Another matchup I'm excited to see is Cooper Cup Robert Woods, 398 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: Van Jefferson versus DJ Reid and Sydney Jones Another week, 399 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: DJ Sitney and a gang are gonna have to go 400 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: up against a really good receiving corps. So far, they'd 401 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: share Cooper Cup two hundred and twenty excuse me, in 402 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one thirty receptions, four hundred thirty one yards, 403 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: five touchdowns on forty six targets. Now, he struggled last 404 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: week against the Cardinals, only have five receptions for sixty 405 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: four yards on thirteen targets. But like we said, we 406 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: just don't see that often. I don't expect to see that, 407 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: all right. He's part of Eastern Washington's finest third in 408 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: the NFL in receptions. Now, Eastern Washington for some reason, 409 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: this puts out good receivers. Man. I know they throw 410 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: the football a lot over there. That's just what they do. 411 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: Another good receiver coming from a university that puts out 412 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot of good receivers. Robert was from USC in 413 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, fifteen receptions, one hundred and seventy two yards, 414 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and now kind of the newcomer Van Jefferson 415 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: had a breakout game last week. He has thirteen receptions 416 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six yards and two touchdowns. Now the Hawks 417 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: has been moving some things in the secondary. Man, it 418 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: seems like for the past couple of years they've been 419 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who they really want to be 420 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: their guys out there. Started the season with DJ Reid 421 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: and Trey Flowers. Now they threw Sidney Jones in there. 422 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: We've seen Ryan Neal get in the mixed Marquis player 423 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: Google Amati. It's going to take all these guys to 424 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: kind of corral this receiving corps and just make like 425 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: difficult for them because they're going to make some plays. 426 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: I never expect a defense to come out and to 427 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: shut great players down. Are great systems down. You just 428 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: have to limit the big plays A name. We didn't 429 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: even mention nasty. He's an oge. Sean Jackson will still 430 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: stretch the field out on you, man. Don't don't sleep 431 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: on on the eighty five baby, Oh, no question about it. 432 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: They have a really talented group. They get the ball 433 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: out fast, it's quick hitting. They'll do some misdirection stuff. 434 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: They'll catch you on a fly sweep if you're not 435 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: paying attention. So they do a lot of really good 436 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: things in that offense. And you know you mentioned it. 437 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: You know Sidney Jones now out there. Dj Reid went 438 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: back to the right side. So I'm excited to see 439 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: what this challenge will like. Because it's a week to 440 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: week league. Man, it's a week to week thing. It's 441 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: a shorter week, so you're not gonna get the practice 442 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: time that you would a do normal week. But they're 443 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: gonna be in the film room, they're gonna be doing 444 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: all that stuff. They're gonna go through all the walk 445 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: through periods. And I'm looking for Sidney Jones to take 446 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: another step right, you get your feet wet, you're still 447 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: going through communication stuff. You know, on that one play, 448 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Quantre Diggs was on the field. He's kind of the 449 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: he's a quarterback of that defense, especially in the secondary 450 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to communicating coverage and whatnot. So I'm 451 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: really excited to see what these guys look like, because yeah, man, 452 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: it's it's about to get real and they get tested 453 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: every single week. And I'm calling it right now. You 454 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: will play this back when it comes true. I prom 455 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: telling you one of these corners and come down in 456 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: the reception one of them, but they mark it down. 457 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: Cannot wait and wait. And this other matchup, man, this 458 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: is this one's taking place not on the field, but 459 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: I had to I had to point on it on 460 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: there this week, man, because it's Shane Waldron versus for 461 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: he Morris Man. Shane Waldron, he's now being the offensive 462 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: coordinator for the Seahawks. He's coached four games. He's getting 463 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: to base his old team. Lots of familiarity between both sides. 464 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: They know Shane, Shane knows them and I know Shane. 465 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: I know both sides are you know, helping the other 466 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: side of the ball what to expect, right, you know? 467 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: I know Shane is probably in there with Can being like, hey, 468 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: these are some tendencies, here's some tells, here's some things 469 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: you know. Of course, both sides are gonna have some 470 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: wrinkles in different stuff, but you know there's gonna be 471 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot of that chess match. And Rahee Morris, he's 472 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: been around the block, He's had a lot of success 473 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: in the league. But his defense, you know, last year 474 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: they were number one in yards allowed in points last season, 475 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: but now this year they've given up nine hundred and 476 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: eleven yards and sixty one points in two weeks, twenty 477 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: seventh in total defense. Man, So it's gonna be a 478 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: fun chess matching and something's gotta give on Thursday. I 479 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: like the matchup between the guys with the headset song 480 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: all right, that those are those you always have the 481 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: young man on the field who are going to execute. 482 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes you're gonna make these coordinators right even when they're 483 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: rum but it's up to these guys to put these 484 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: guys in good position. And if I am the Rams 485 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: fan base and Raheem Moore is in this defense continues 486 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: to give up a bunch of points. If there are 487 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: anything like the twelves, they're gonna hear about it, either 488 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: gonna be talking about it on their local radio station, 489 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: TV or whatnot. I just hope Raheem doesn't turn it 490 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: around this week because we know that he is a 491 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: good coach. We know that Shane Walden is a good 492 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: coach as well. I am looking forward to that match 493 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 1: up the Rams or twenty seventh in the league. Right 494 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: out of the defense, something that I did not expect 495 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: to see this year. Okay, now there's things you gotta 496 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: do to win the game. What's the path to victory? 497 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts 498 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kick is 499 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: God good, says Gun, it's a path to victory on 500 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: Hawk Talk. Well, it's gonna start with the quarterback, our 501 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: quarterback number three, and it's gonna be it's gonna come 502 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: down to protection. You know, he cannot be sat, you know, 503 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: five or six times in a game. Leonard Floyd, Aaron Donald, 504 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: all those talented guys they have in that secondary. It's 505 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: just happened too many times, you know. And I think 506 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: it's it's a joint effort as from from Shane, from 507 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: Pete to Shane to all the way down. Everyone on 508 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: offense is going to take a village and get those 509 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: receivers of all man stretch that field. You're gonna have 510 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: tough tests in that secondary. You know Taylor Raps over there. 511 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: We mentioned obviously, we know we're getting with Jalen Ramsey. 512 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: So I want to see those guys involved early and often, 513 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: because when when DK gets going, one of those guys 514 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: is going. I feel like the offense it just looks 515 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: different when you have at least one of them involved 516 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: making play, stretching that field. I feel like the offense 517 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: gets rolling. And when the offense is rolling, this team's 518 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: hard to beat. When you get DK and Tyler Lockett going, 519 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: that run game is gonna open up as well. So 520 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: we need to get Chris Carson. Yeah, we gotta. We 521 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: gotta see the Carson we've seen flashes of consistently this year. 522 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: And then, don't forget man, they got a number two 523 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: running back now. I mean Alex Collins made his case 524 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: to be that number two. Look good last week over 525 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: seventy five yards a total offense, got the run game going, 526 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: had a twenty yard pass reception last year. I like him. 527 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: Now you have to slow down this Rams offense. We 528 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: talked about all the weapons that they have. We didn't 529 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: even mention Darryl Henderson, who's a solid running back as well. 530 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: You got a bunch of receivers who are veterans and 531 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: have been around the block. You got a veteran quarterback, 532 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: you got a good running back. Slow this d excuse me, 533 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: this offense down and make them one dimensional. Get pressure 534 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. I hate to say that this about 535 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, but I'm not all the way bought it yet. 536 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: Man Hit him on his chin, make him feel it, 537 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: make him throw some intercessions. Nasty. Who'd you say he 538 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: said someone in the second Dary is gonna have an 539 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: interception this year? Excuse me this week. Pressure on them, absolutely. 540 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: You know I need to see it, and that's that's 541 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: the one thing to knock him off his game. If 542 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: he has time to sit back there and throw it 543 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: over the yard, it's gonna be a long day. And 544 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: let's just improve on third down in general, right, you 545 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: know that's offensively, they know they need to improve there. 546 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: There's not staying on the field long enough. They obviously 547 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: have exposive plays. They got better in the second half. 548 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: Think it's the nine ers, but they need seem to 549 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: be better on third down. The one positive though on 550 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: third down defensively two weeks ago the Vikings were nine 551 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: to fourteen last week. The forty nine ers for two 552 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: or fourteen on third down, so there's been improvement there. 553 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: They's got to figure it out, man, figure it out 554 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: own the NFC West take care of business in this division. 555 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: If you do that, it makes things a lot easier 556 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: down the Roadbump, do what you have to do. You 557 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: avoid it losing three games in a row. Now, let's 558 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: get back on the winning trend. You are eleven eight 559 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: and eleven against the Rams, russing them.
