1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Hawks Sucks Live every Thursday from seven to nine live 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: on air on seven chenny ESPN, Seattle. No. If you're 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: your host Michael Bumpish and Paul Moyer, it's Thursday. It's 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: your favorite day of the week because you get to 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: sit here and listen to me Michael Bompas and Paul 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: Moyer on Hawks Live every Thursday at seven right here 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: on seven ten ESPN. And last week we were hoping 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: that we would get back together Paul and talk about 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: a victory, and that's exactly what we are talking about. 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: And it looked a little different. Russell didn't put up, 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: I guess, the godly numbers when it comes to passing yards, 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: but he had four touchdowns, just another He did end 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: up being our MVP by the way he did he 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: out that's like the first time in two years maybe 15 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: that he's been our MVP on the pre and post 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: game show. So it looked a little different for Russell 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: Wilson still through four touchdowns, but I feel like the 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: headline of the game was that defense quarters one through three. 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: You're the numbers guy. What you got from me on 20 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: this d look, they played really well and particularly for 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: guys who are you know, we still got a lot 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: of injuries. Right, we don't have Griffin in the game, 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: We still don't have Jamal Adams. We lose May Oh 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: my goodness, you know who would have thunk it? And 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: then you know it takes great players to step up 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: and you know, challenge Bobby, you know, just say we mean, 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: we have challenged Bobby Wagner to not just be good, 28 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: to be great. And he was my keyhawk going into 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: that game. I said, he can't be average, he can't 30 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: even be good. Play his best game of the year 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: by far, and maybe his best game in two years. 32 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: And it wasn't just in the stat box or you 33 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: know with the sacks and the quarterback hits. It was 34 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: the way he was playing in the run game, his 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: way he was challenging and crowding receivers. I mean, there's 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: just a lot of good things that went on in 37 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: that game. So um feel good. You know, going into 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: that game, we were we were uncomfortable. Hey, the forty 39 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: nine ers just played two really good football games. You 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: felt like college. You know, they're about to get healthy. 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, we got to knock him out and we've 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: just come off a loss. And time you come off 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: for lost, You've lost a little bit of confidence, except 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll, who just you know, 45 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: they've got this positive vibe. So I feel really good 46 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: where we are. I mean, we put a hurting on them. 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: You know, they're San Francisco's getting beat up tonight by 48 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: Green Bay, So they are what they are with all 49 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: their injuries. But you gotta feel good with the Seahawks 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: at six and one playing Buffalo, really good football team. 51 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: I just think we're playing the best football of the 52 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: year right now coming off that and we're about to 53 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: get really healthy. Yeah. What I liked about that game 54 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers offense played well, defense played well, 55 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: special teams had to turnover. Special teams got it done. 56 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: And we got to talk about some guys who we 57 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: don't really get to talk about a lot. Cody Barton, 58 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: I mean, he flies down on kickoff, knocks a dude out. 59 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: David Moore, who we talk about miss consistent sixteen catches 60 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: three of them for touchdowns. He has a day. Ryan 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: neil Ye serviceable, still doing his thing. He played a 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: decent game. Bobby Wagner. Now we talked about Bobby all 63 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: the time, but not in this light. This is the 64 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: first game where Bobby kind of like just jumped out 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: on us, so I appreciate it. And then the week before, 66 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett has, as you would call it, the greatest 67 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: game in sekar story for a receiver, and then DK says, 68 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: hold up, don't forget about me. I might not have 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: the greatest game, but I'll still have twelve catches on 70 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: fifteen targets, one hundred and sixty one yards and two touchdowns. 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: As a former player a former coach, when you see 72 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: all three phases doing their things, man, you got to 73 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: smile on the sideline and say, okay, we're doing something good. 74 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: And then we don't like when guys get hurt. We're 75 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: ball players. You don't like to see guys go down. 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: But they knocked out Jimmy, that knocked out kittled, they 77 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: knocked out Pettis, knocked out Coleman. I hope those guys 78 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: are okay. But it was nice to see this defense 79 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: play some physical football. And then they put Warner, their 80 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: best player I think on the field as well. On 81 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: the sideline. He came back and but you wound the 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: leaders in a game that pop shot and you'd mentioned guys. 83 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: You know we're gonna have DJ read on tonight. You know, 84 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: first game back gets this former team interception. Uh Stefan Sullivan, 85 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: My goodness, he's a freaking tight end anymore. And then 86 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: he all said he lines up defensive end is very 87 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: first snap, he makes a play on third down that 88 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, kind of a co sacker co play on 89 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: a actually on a running a game. Um, you had 90 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: Jonathan Bullard who played well. DJ Dallas, Um you know 91 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: effective before eighteen carries if I if I remember right, Um, 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: DeMarcus or Damarius Randall belor you just meant a lot 93 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: of role players that had a big impact in this game. 94 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, we should be feeling really good. And you 95 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: get Jamal Adams back, you get Mayoa. Um I came, 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: I got I'm gonna have to go look at all 97 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: my notes, all the guys coming back on this but 98 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: oh Griffin more than likely coming back. Uh, we just 99 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: got playmakers coming back on a defense and an offense. 100 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: We're about to get really healthy too. So exciting times, 101 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: exciting time. And it was good to see Russell Wilson 102 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: bounced back. I guess he he played a good game prior. 103 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: He just threw three interceptions, so you're gonna knock him 104 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: on that, and you know you're you're good with your predictions, 105 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: mister Paul Moyer. I went on the Tom, Jake and 106 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Stacy Show and I say, you know what, Russell's gonna 107 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: throw four touchdowns, no interceptions. So how to Paul Moyer moment. 108 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: Wow this week, that's a big you. Even if I 109 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: could show everybody, we do these little mini flexes, big flexes. 110 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: He put his hands out like he was about to 111 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: catch a whale, I mean big fish. So that's that's 112 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: some boast in there. But look right now, he's averaging 113 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: four touchdowns a game. Yeah, you know he's got what 114 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty six, you know, he's on I don't 115 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: know what the number because we're going into our eighth game, 116 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: but he's on pace to break the all time record, 117 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: which is fifty by Tom Brady. He's averaging close to 118 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: four a game. That's nuts. I mean to go from 119 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: ground Carrol to now, you know, let's throw it as 120 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: often as we can two thirds throwing. Pretty remarkable that 121 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: this transition. So they bounced back. They're now one and 122 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: one of the Division six and one overall. Buffalo Bills. 123 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: They're going back east. Now, if this was two thousand 124 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: and eight through ten, when I was on the team 125 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: and we were going back east, you just chalk it 126 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: up as a hell because we just didn't do good 127 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: on the road. But this is a different team. They 128 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: have different leadership, they have a plan. I feel like 129 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll has embraced the scientific part of this and 130 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: has a scheme and consults with people. How can we 131 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: get our guys to perform at a high level so 132 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: early on the East and now they're going to check 133 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: in on the Buffalo Bills. I'll tell you what I 134 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: see in you tem when you see I see an 135 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: offense who has figured out who they are. Last week, 136 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen threw the ball eighteen times and they rushed 137 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: it a bunch of times. I think this guy can 138 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: throw the rock. He's athletic. He has receivers, Stefan Diggs 139 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league, Cole Beasley 140 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: one of the best slots in the league, two good 141 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: running backs. And I think this offense, if I think 142 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: they need to take the New England Patriot approach when 143 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: it comes to using their quarterback in the run game, 144 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: because I think that's where you to excel. Let him 145 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: be athletic, don't make him dropping the pocket, sit in 146 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: the pocket and make a bunch of decisions all throughout 147 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: the game. Offensively, I feel like this is a good 148 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: football team. This is a I don't want to say 149 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: it's a dangerous there's six and two Buffalo. It's just 150 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: as the Buffalo Bills. There's something about the name. If 151 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I said, hey, we're about to go play New England 152 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Patriots who are six and two, doesn't matter what their 153 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: names are on the back of the jersey, it would 154 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: make your ears perk a little bit. But you mentioned 155 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So I put the game on last night 156 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, he's gonna be another Donald Jones, right, 157 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: just a guy with an arm and makes bad decision. 158 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: Oh No, Josh Allen is in a whole another ballpark. 159 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: He is a really good athletic quarterback. Sometimes his decision 160 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: making is a little if because he trusts his arms 161 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: so much and his athleticism. But he can run, he's tough, 162 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: he has a cannon for an arm. He's complete in 163 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of his passes right now. I mean 164 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: he's not coming out of I think why Wyoming was 165 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't that accurate of a thrower. Well he is 166 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: now and he can throw the thing about ninety yards. 167 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: There's been talking and who throws the ball the far 168 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: as a Mahomes or Josh Allen. The consensus is Josh 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: Allen has the strongest arm in the NFL, and now 170 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: he's accurate. UM tough game. They've got skilled positions all 171 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: over the place. Here's their weakness defense, Well, the same 172 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: defense in twenty nineteen. Who was a favorite phrase? Doing 173 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: their thing? What's the difference they still after Davis? Why 174 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: they still have um Edmonds in the in the middle 175 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: of the field. I don't know. You know, it's one 176 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: of those it's hard to put a finger on it. 177 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: You know, why were I could I could go back 178 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: and say, well, why was it good last year? You 179 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: know this year they're just giving up plays. You know, 180 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: they're not winning in the key moments, third down, Um, 181 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: they're giving up obviously a lot of first downs, a 182 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: lot of yards. I don't know. I don't know the 183 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: answer to it. It's just whenever I see what's the 184 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: weakness of a team, and this is what's weird. It 185 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: should be a good debate for us later. But once 186 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: they see the weakness of the team is defense. I go, 187 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: I go, we're gonna score thirty. Yeah, you know, so 188 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: as our defense couldn't have to hold them under thirty. 189 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: I believe it is. I think they are if they 190 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: play the way they play last week. Yeah, you have 191 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: to put pressure on Josh Allen. You look at them 192 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: on film. The due is tough too. He'll stand in 193 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: the pocket, take it hit and flip that risk and 194 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: throw the ball forty fifty yards down the field. If 195 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: they take the same approach, and I think they will. 196 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is going to be back. I'm sure be 197 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Wags is in their ears saying, look, let me loose, 198 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: let's keep this thing going. They may have found their 199 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: new identity on defense, and I hope they stick to it. 200 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: You know, you got read now Amadi doesn't look like 201 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna be back this week. But down the road, 202 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: now sudden, we've got huge Dad, we get Griffin back, 203 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: you got Dunbar, we got our two safeties. Jamal throwing 204 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: digs and look, I don't want to say take you know, 205 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Neil away either. I'm really curious what package we bring, 206 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: so expecting good things this week. Though, expecting good things 207 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: we'll come. Next. We'll dive into the Seahawks week nine 208 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: opponent with sideline and Beat reporters salth Capacio from the 209 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: Bills right here on Hawks a lot.

Hey, thank you for staying up. 224 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: I know it's late, about ten fifteen ten sixteen over there, 225 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: So thank you for a dying dealing with us tonight. Man. 226 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: First question I have for you, how nice is it 227 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: to look at the standings in the AFC East and 228 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: see the Buffalo Bills at top at six and two. 229 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: It's even nicer than looking at the weather on Sunday 230 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: being seventy degrees in sunny in November. Wow, and that's 231 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: saying a lot here in Buffalo. Well, we like that. 232 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: We'll call it climate change. It's really good. Oh no, 233 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: but it's been a it's been a long time. I mean, 234 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Bills had last last time the Bills 235 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: won the AFC East was nineteen ninety five. It was 236 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: a quarter century ago the last time they won the division. 237 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: It's been so long that the Indianapolis Colts have actually 238 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: won the AFC East more recently, and they haven't played 239 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: in the division. I mean, that's a long time. So 240 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: it's it's been pretty cool. You know, we went through 241 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: a seventeen year playoff drought. Year that was ended a 242 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when the Bills went, and then 243 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: they went again last year, two out of last three years. 244 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: But you know, they haven't won a playoff game that's 245 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: the next step. But to see the bill this late 246 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: in the season, that high up in the state and 247 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: I believe it's the first time since the nineteen nineties. Well, 248 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: they they're they're the real deal. Was watching them on 249 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: film last night and you got players everywhere. A bit 250 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: of a Buffalo fan in my past years, my roommate 251 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: at Arizona State, Joey Lumpkin played linebacker there for a 252 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: couple of years, and then Chuck Knox when he was 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: a coach my first year here with Seattle's when he 254 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: moved from Buffalo to here. So a little bit of 255 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: history there. So before we get into all the positives, 256 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of positive going on in Buffalo, 257 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: the one negative it's in what's interesting last year two 258 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: thy nineteen defensively lights out dominant this year not so 259 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: much just up what's happened there because it doesn't look 260 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: like personnel has changed that much. Yeah, it's actually been 261 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: a really good defense for the three years that McDermott 262 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: and Frasier have been there, and it took a bit 263 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: of a deep eighteen, but at seventeen and nineteen they're 264 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: really good and it's been the hallmark guess how Sean 265 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: mcderbert became a head coach. He's been a very good 266 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: defensive court gainer. Leslie Fraser two, he's been a very 267 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: good defensive coach. You know, they do have some personal 268 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: changes up front. They did lose Star Latula to an 269 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: opt out, and then they lost Jordan Phillips in free agency, 270 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: in Jack Lawson and free agency. Now that's said, I 271 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: don't think anybody anticipated it that would have that big 272 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: of an impact. Because they signed Quentin Jefferson from over 273 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: there in Seattle. Obviously, Vernon Butler came from Carolina. They 274 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: have at Oliver. But you know, I think that the 275 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: hallmark of the defensive line that the Bills create is 276 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: athleticism and a bit thundersize, and they're missing that space 277 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: either they're missing the guy like a star to really 278 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: keep the linebackers clean, and that's really hurt them in 279 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: the run game. Plus they've had some injuries. McLane is 280 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: a fantastic player and he's been hurt. He's dealing with 281 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: a peck injury. I don't even know. I don't think 282 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna play this week. That's really hurt them as well. 283 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: So you know, it's It's been a combination of some things. 284 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for the Bills this year 285 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: is as opposed to year's pass, where they can kind 286 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: of cover everything and do everything, well, they have to 287 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: pick there. They have to pick this year. And if 288 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: they want to stop the run, they'll stop the run. 289 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: They want to stop the pass, they they'll stop the pass. 290 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: But they can't really do all of it at once. 291 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: Alli sal Let's about your quarterback, Josh Allen. I watched 292 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: this dude on film. He was obviously in the MVP 293 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: talks what the first four or five weeks takes a 294 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: couple of losses to two really good football teams. But 295 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: I watched film on this kid, and he's tough, he 296 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: has an arm, he has some weapons. I think last 297 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: week they may have found their recipe on how to 298 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: use him efficiently throughout this year. What are your thoughts 299 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: on jobs Allan so far? Well, you know, he's been 300 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: really the antithesis of what you see from quarterbacks these 301 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: days when they come in the league. A lot of 302 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: times they either have it or they don't. And if 303 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: we don't, usually there's a coach that gets fired. At GM, 304 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: they reset at the position and there's all this change 305 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: in chaos. Look at the eighteen class Baker Mayfields had 306 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: that Sam Arnolds had that, Josh Rosen's obviously had that. 307 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: You know Josh he has. Him which Josh has had 308 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: is an actual organization that's put a really strong amount 309 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: of structure around him and development around him, and they 310 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: really progressed him along the way. He took a really 311 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: big jump from year one to year two, and then 312 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: another massive from year two to the start of year three. 313 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: This year. He just don't see that in quarterbacks teams. 314 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: Organizations don't have that kind of patience anymore, right guys, 315 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: But they have with Josh Allen and that's why he's 316 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: really now You're seeing the fruits of all that labor 317 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: that they've done with him, and you know, getting a 318 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: guy like stuff on Biggs obviously helps. They've improved the 319 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: talent around him. But the biggest thing is, you know, 320 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: the last few games, he hasn't played nearly as poorly 321 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: as a lot of the media want you to believe. 322 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: I think he's had one bad game this year. That 323 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: was Kansas City. He played poorly in that game. Other 324 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: than that, he actually I didn't think played too badly 325 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: in the Tennessee game they lost, and last week he 326 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: was seventy three hundred yards, they just didn't score touchdowns. 327 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: He's improved his accuracy. I think we can throw that 328 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: out that he can't teach accuracy. He's worked on it. 329 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: He's done a lot. He's thirteenth in the league in 330 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: completion percentage now. But he is tough as nails. He's 331 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: a great athlete and that really helps him do a 332 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: lot of things back there. You know, we being here 333 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: in the northwest, Seattle, anybody close to Canada doesn't quite 334 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: get all the recognition they deserve, Buffalo being one of those. 335 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: So the reason why I'm throwing that out is, you 336 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: got a player named Jordan Poyer who's from Oregon State 337 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: up here to the Northwest. You know, I football people 338 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: know who he is. But if I asked, you know, 339 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: just somebody who's a football fan, they may not know 340 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: who he is. This guy is unbelievable. To just talk 341 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: about him, both as his play as well as what 342 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: he's like as a person. He is the Bill's version 343 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: of Jamal Adams. That's the best way I could put it. 344 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: For Seattle Seahawks stand. I'm not saying that he's as 345 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: good of a player's Jamal. I think him also a 346 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: fantastic player. But Jordan's ployer is a really good football player. 347 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: And he's he's even a better football player because he 348 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: has Micah hide next to him. By the way, guys, 349 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, together, I would say separately, I would not 350 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: put Jordan or Micah in the top five safeties in 351 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the league. It might be pretty close to that, But together, 352 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: I think they formed the best tandem or at least 353 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: close to maybe top three in the entire NFL. They're 354 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: so good together. They play off each other so well Jordan. 355 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: They use them all around the defense like they do 356 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: in Seattle with Jamal, and you know, he's he's got 357 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: ten and tackles this year. Now, not the greatest thing 358 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: when you're when your safety is leading your team and tackles, 359 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: but that's because they use him like a Swiss Army knife. Yeah. 360 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: But as a person, the best part about Jordan as 361 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: a person is how far he's come, you know, as 362 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: a leader. He's actually a captain this year. He was 363 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: never a captain before he's been in Buffalo. This is 364 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: a he got in the contract extension in the off season. 365 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: He was named a team captain this year. He came 366 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: from Cleveland. He hits some injury. He's no one really 367 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: knew who he was. Um. The Bills had a coach 368 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: on staff who recommended him to the free agent Sean McDermott. 369 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: They looked into him, they signed him, and he's really 370 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: blossoms here. He's done a really good job. You know. 371 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: It's it's remarkable because he's he's on pace for about 372 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: one hundred and he's got sixty nine tackles right now. 373 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: He's on pace for right close to one hundred and fifty. 374 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: He's got two sacks. But you know, in today's eight 375 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: he's six foot, one hundred and ninety one pounds, you know, 376 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: but just tops now. I just enjoy enjoy watching. But 377 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, oh way, he's also he was 378 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: he was drafted in Major League Baseball. That's how good 379 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: of an athlete to you as well. He was drafted 380 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: by the Florida Marlins. Let's talk about one of our 381 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: our old players. You know how the Seahawks do man, 382 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: We keep tabs on guys who used to be here, 383 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: and eventually they make their way their way back to 384 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Seattle House Quinn Jefferson looking on that defensive line. Q's great, 385 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: you guys probably you know, you know, he's just a 386 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: great guy, right, you know, every time, you know, this 387 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: is a different year. I've never had a chance to 388 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: meet him face to face because of the COVID year 389 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: and not in the locker room this year. But every 390 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: time we do zoom calls with him and things like that, 391 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: you know, he's just he's really good. He's got a 392 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: great personality. He fits this culture really well. And I'm 393 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: sure he did. I think I think Carroll, you know 394 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: what I know about him, and I think he would 395 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: fit in Seattle really well. And I know there were 396 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people who wanted them to, wanted them 397 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: to keep him, and you know, they weren't able to. 398 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: And the Bills, I think got a really nice player here, 399 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: and he fits what the Bills want to do schematically 400 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: because he could play outside and he could play inside, 401 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: and the Bills, you know, they move guys around with 402 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: the defensive line, like I was saying earlier, So you know, 403 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: he really plays well. I think in this particular scheme, 404 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: he's done a nice job. You know, the D line. Overall, 405 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: it's probably underperformed when it comes to stopping in the 406 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: run game. But I wouldn't put that on any individual necessarily. 407 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: I just think it's the philosophy they run and the 408 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: fact that you know, they just don't have the bigger 409 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: defensive lineman to match up with some of the more 410 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: physical offensive lines they play in the league. Yeah, Quentin's 411 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: definitely missed. We've We've always had him on our show 412 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: every year and you know, as you metch he's just 413 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: he's he's quality human being and a great interview. So talk. Again, 414 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: there's a lot of names out there. I mean, getting 415 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: Diggs was a big deal. And again I think offensively, 416 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: you guys are are going to be a handful. But 417 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: talking about some players maybe that our listeners don't know 418 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: about that are having an impact for Buffalo, Well you night, 419 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: just Stepan. Did you guys know about him? You know? 420 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: But what really the guy that makes the offense tick 421 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: I think is John Brown, the wide receiver, and that's 422 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: part of the reason why they haven't played as well 423 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: lately is he's been out and he's been hurt. He 424 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: missed the Tennessee game they didn't play, hurt very well. 425 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: He goes back against Kansas City. He just couldn't run 426 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: away from anyone. Guys, I was down there. I'm the 427 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: sideline reporter in the radio network and I'm down to the 428 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: the moat watch him. He just couldn't run away, and 429 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: the Bills couldn't really use him. He missed another game. 430 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: When he's out there, he really makes everybody else's job 431 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: a lot easier because he can stretch the defense. He 432 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: can run every route in the route tree, and then 433 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: you know you've got a guy like Stefan Bigs and 434 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley underneath. But I think the running backs don't 435 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: get enough credit here. It's because of Bill's running game. 436 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: The numbers aren't they don't wow you. But I'll tell 437 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: you what, guys, they got two good young running backs. 438 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: Stevin Singletary Motor as his nickname they call him. He's 439 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: in his second year and this guy is you know, 440 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: he'll make you miss in a phone lose. He's super elusive. 441 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: He can do a lot of things. But they've paired 442 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: him now with Zach Moss, and Zack Moss said it 443 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: really good last two weeks. You know, if you're a 444 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, you don't really know much about Dak massh 445 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: you might learn a little bit about him this week, 446 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: and he's finally starting to get a little bit more 447 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: of the carries. He's over a toe injury he had, 448 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: and he's a punishing runner. In fact, when he was drafted, 449 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: in his um post draft press conference, they told us 450 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: he said, I want defenders to have to make business decisions. 451 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: He loved he would rather run over you than around you. 452 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: I like that mentality. Used to have that mentality here 453 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: for a few years with Marshawn Lynch in the gang. Yeah, 454 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: that's right. Last one week out for you, DK Metcalf 455 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett. These are two of the best receivers 456 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: in the league. This defense only has four interceptions so far. 457 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: How do you expect them to handle these two? Well, 458 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: I'll give me a stat of the day for you guys, 459 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: just sad of your show. Yeah, I was talking about 460 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: this in our radio this morning. I was looking it up. 461 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: You know. The Seahawks, as you know, are great at 462 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: the big play. That actually their second in the league 463 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: with six past plays of forty yards or more. The 464 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: Bills are actually number one in the league, only allowing 465 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: one pass play entire year or forty yards or more so, 466 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: it's not about the takeaways of the interceptions comes back 467 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: to the Bills just don't allow big plays on defense. 468 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: And the one big play to have allowed this year, 469 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: it was actually a simple catch off the line of 470 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: scrimmage and Jamison Crowder broke a couple of tackles and 471 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: he went sixty yards of the house. So they have 472 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: not allowed anything at all over the top this year, 473 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: and they've consistently been number one or two in the 474 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: league in that category. They aren't getting the takeaways they 475 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: haven't Those need to come. Raybeas White is exceptional, he's 476 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: an all pro. We know that. I don't know what 477 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: the plan will be. I assume and my guests would 478 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: be they're going to play the Seahawks the way they 479 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: played the Chiefs, which is don't let everything they held. 480 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: Tyree killed twenty yards receiving and they basically said, hey, 481 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: look we're not gonna let you throw on us. But 482 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: the difference was the Chiefs ran for two hundred and 483 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: forty five yards and I don't know. I don't think 484 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: the Seahaws necessarily equiped to do that, and I don't 485 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: think they want to do that. But the Bills are 486 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: going to do whatever they can to make sure the 487 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks will work for everything they have to get and 488 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: have to keep everything underneath. And they've been very successful 489 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: at that. Whoever they've played this, this is how far 490 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have changed. Where you just said the Seahawks 491 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: don't want to run the football. There was a time 492 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: that we weren't allowed to throw the football, and now it's, uh, 493 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: what a change. I will say this, I am seventy degrees. 494 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: That'll be fun. It's kind of there's two huge home 495 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: field advantages. Ones in Buffalo, ones in Seattle. It's a 496 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: shame the fans aren't able to partake in that. Ah Man, guys, 497 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: we're missing it so much, you know. And I've I've 498 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: been on the radio network now as my seven years. 499 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: So I travel with the team. I go to all 500 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: these stadiums. I was there Monday Night a few years ago. 501 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,239 Speaker 1: Classic game, a great game, team down to the end, 502 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: you know, with high ride at quarterback. And you're right, 503 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: I think that that stadium, those fans we all know, 504 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: incredible and the same thing here we are missing that 505 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: home field of famags. This year there's no fans allowed 506 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: here this year. We're not traveling as a radio crew 507 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: to the road games like most aren't this year. So 508 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's just been a different year. 509 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: Can't wait till we don't have to deal with this 510 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: stuff anymore. We can get after it. But you know, 511 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: as far as this this week, it's funny and you 512 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: guys got let Russ cook up there. Um.

So 515 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: we're calling it a cook off because it's seventy degrees 516 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, it's gonna be a good one. And 517 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: we called that a cookout. We're on from the style. 518 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: We call that a cook out. Well, we're looking forward 519 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: to it.

Paul Moyer and I 532 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: talk that talk. Don't go anywhere. It talks a lot. 533 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: It's time to talk that talk with Michael Bumpus and 534 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: Paul Moyer on Hawkslide. It's time to talk that talk. 535 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: That's when me and Paul Moyer square off and just 536 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: get some things off of our chests. You know what 537 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: this reminds me of. You know, Mike Tyson is gonna 538 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: fight Roy Jones Junior. Yeah, that's gonna be a good one. Yeah, 539 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: this is this is Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Junior. 540 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: So if if you and I were those two, which 541 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: one would you be? Which one would I already know 542 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say. I'm Tyson, Right, I'm Tyson. No, 543 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: you're not big enough. Hey, I'm Tyson. You're Roy You're 544 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: willing to come up a class. Mike Tyson is like five, yeah, 545 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: but I'm talking. Wait, hey, I could put on twenty 546 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: before the fight. You could put on twenty and she'll 547 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: be twenty less than me. All right. The first thing 548 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into Paul Bill Belichick is making excuses 549 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: for his two and five start Bias football team. He says, 550 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: we sold all to win a Super Bowl and have 551 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 1: less to work within twenty twenty. Is he making excuses 552 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: or is he just being real? What are your thoughts 553 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: on that? Waiting for my notes to come up that 554 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: I was writing on the plane open up, of course, 555 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: not opening up a couple of things on that one. 556 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: One is part of its excuses because I think and 557 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: it ties into Tom Brady left right, So I gotta 558 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: make excuses of well, we put everything we had into that, 559 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: and we don't have any salary cap and I brought 560 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: in this minimum wage, million dollars quarterback who was an MVP. 561 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So of actually more than 562 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: a bet a lot of excuses. But here's here's my 563 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: closing on this. You know what we just learned, players win. 564 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't care how great a coach you are if 565 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: you don't got the horses. I don't care how great 566 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: a coach you are. I mean you coach. I mean 567 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: you've got to have the horses person. So now I'm 568 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: bringing it back to the Seahawks. You know what, guy 569 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: who's never won a Best of the Best, you know, 570 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, GM of the Year, Schneider and 571 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't care. It looks as great coaches. And we 572 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: know Pete Carroll's a fantastic coach. He's proven that through 573 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: USC in here, and you've got to have the horses. 574 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: You've got to have the players. And it just made 575 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: me realize how how valuable John Schneider is to this team. 576 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: He always gives the Seahawks a chance to win. And 577 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: you have a good coach and you take that to 578 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: the next level. Bill Belichick has find out for the 579 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: very first time and since he's been at New England, 580 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: I'm not as great a coach. I thought it was. 581 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: I gotta have some horses. I agree with you. He 582 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: needs his horses, he needs his person now and he 583 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: says we sold out, So I'm like, all right, what 584 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: is selling out mean? What did they do to put 585 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: them in this predicament? Now, okay, they have a million 586 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: cap cap space, they still old Tom Brady three thirteen 587 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: point five, AB four point five, Michael benn in two mil. 588 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: They signed Gilmore to twenty six mil. A bunch of numbers, right, 589 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of numbers going out there. 590 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: So he's saying, you know what, my hands are tied. 591 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: What do I do? We brought in cam Newton, We're 592 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: only paying him a million dollars. He is speaking facts, 593 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: but it is excuses. And the reason why I don't 594 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: want to hear that, Bill, it's because you want for 595 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: twenty years. Bill, I'm holding up at l I'm on, 596 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: is that right in front of his fourhead on the chin, 597 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: go on wants stayed here? A guy who's been a 598 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: ten super Bowls, one six, had all this success completed. 599 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: Oh well, if we don't have our guys, I feel 600 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: no sympathy from you. Be the guy who doesn't want 601 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: to answer questions in the press conference. If it's it's 602 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: such a basic question that you make a reporter feel 603 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 1: dumb for asking the question. Be that guy and just 604 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: don't say nothing. To say we're just not good enough, 605 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: We're just not gonna This is the first time where 606 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: Bill is making excuses. No one's here that you. You've 607 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: had too much success for you to sit here and 608 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: make excuses take the l on the chin, like the 609 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: Bengals have been doing, like the Browns have been doing, 610 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: like the Dolphins haven't done. It's your turn, Bill, take 611 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: it on the chin, man. I like it. Okay, you 612 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: got the next one. What's the next one? Fault? All right? 613 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: The next one? M the Seahawks. This is a good one. 614 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: I had a good conversation today about this. The Seahawks 615 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: better off without Jadeveon Clowney, who right now is fifteen tackles, 616 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: three for lost, no sacks in twenty twenty. Are they 617 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: better off without him or what they've been better off 618 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: with him? I'm going to say they are better off 619 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: without him, and I'm going to say that because it 620 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: is allowed the Seahawks to make other moves. You're not. 621 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: You didn't get a bunch of production out of him 622 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: when it came to sacks and all that stuff. But 623 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: he did have games where he had turnovers, he had touchdowns. 624 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: I get all that, But I feel like this defense 625 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: needed more than just that one guy. They needed several guys. 626 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: And this week you might get snacks, you got done lap, 627 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: you got Jamal. That defense personnel wise has gotten better 628 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: if you just keep Clowney here and say, Okay, everyone 629 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: else get better, We're just gonna keep this guy here. 630 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: I think this defense is better. It's worse this year 631 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: than it is last year. Yeah, the way the questions 632 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: written initially went, well, of course we would be better 633 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: off with him. He's a really good football player, and 634 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: he has a fantastic football player. He's just not a dominant, 635 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: dominant pass rusher. He never has he doesn't have those moves. 636 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: He's a guy, he's a hustle guy. I love his game. 637 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: He's an all around player, great in the run game. 638 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, she would love to have him, because 639 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: you can't have enough good football players. But when you've 640 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: taken everything, all the context to it of salary cap 641 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: and who can you sign here, here's the to me, 642 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: it's this is the I guess the answer. Would you 643 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: rather have Jamal Adams or Clowney all day? So that's 644 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: what it is, right, because we couldn't afford them both. 645 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: There's no way. I mean, we gave him twelve to 646 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: fifteen million what he was asking. So I think the Seahawks, 647 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: because you're right, we don't get done. Maybe we don't 648 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: get snacks. Probably get snacks you know, just the debt. 649 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: Maybe we don't even get done bar Yeah. I mean, 650 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of things we don't have, and 651 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: to me, I think we're better off because of that man. 652 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: We didn't even mention Bruce Irvin. Probably still would have 653 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: been able to get Bruce Irvin, but another guy that 654 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: this defense is missing. Okay, if the Seahawks win the 655 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, this will be the best coaching job of 656 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's career. Well, yes, I mean obviously, you know, 657 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: if we win this one, and mainly because you know, 658 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: we won in two thirteen. We knew what we had 659 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: and we were fantastic on the defense, and you know, 660 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: historically fantastic on the defense. We but you know what, 661 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,959 Speaker 1: it wasn't a consistent team, you know it Offensively, It 662 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: took us a while to get our groove, you know, 663 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: unlike in two and twelve where we went on an 664 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: unbelievable run the end of the season. Offensively, Yeah, that 665 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: team was very different. And so I look at it 666 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: in two ways. I go One is I guess because 667 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: of the way the defense is playing, for them to 668 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: him the rally and keep them in the game, and 669 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: for us to go on and win a Super Bowl 670 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: and to be six and one right now with a 671 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: historically bad statistical defense, I think again, by the end 672 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: of the year, we're gonna be playing top fifteen ten 673 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: defense in the last four or five games the year. 674 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: I believe that. So, yes, when where we are there, 675 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: But if I look at the talent, I mean we 676 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: look at defensively what we have. I mean, you start 677 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: looking at four or five six potential Pro bowlers. Offensively, 678 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: we're loaded across the board. You know, I can make 679 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: a case that can you say that, Can you really 680 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: say six Pro bowlers on the worst defense in the NFL? 681 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying on paper, I mean, Griffin's been in 682 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. The whole secondary, right, the four starting 683 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: secondary guys are Pro Bowl caliber guys. Are you're throwing 684 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: our two linebackers who have both been to a Pro Bowl? 685 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: They're six. I could make a case for Read at times. 686 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he go back two years ago 687 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: when he had the SAT Pro Bowl. So you're looking 688 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: at they're six, they're seven, you know, So there's no 689 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: reason for this defense to be struggling the way they've 690 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: been struggling. So if it's not the personnel, Paul Moore. Yes, 691 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: then it has to do with the scheme. So if so, 692 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: I guess the question again. If they win the Super Bowl, 693 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: is this the best coaching Jobby's ever had? I will 694 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: say yes because I think in thirteen you're talking about 695 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame guys, I mean across the board. But 696 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: I could flip this one on you too. Okay, what 697 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: if they don't get to the NFC Championship, it's all 698 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: the player. Would this be one of his It could 699 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: be the worst under achieving case. It could be, and 700 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: you know, let me get back to the original question. Yes, 701 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 1: I think it would be the best because he has 702 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: shown that he can change. He can say, look, yeah, 703 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna get away from running the football one. Defensively, 704 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: he's been kind of stubborn until last week. Last week 705 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: we saw some things that we saw Week one and 706 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: two when Jamal Adams was available. Now, if they don't 707 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: get to the NFC Championship, it's a huge disappointment. This 708 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: team is ready to go because of the things you said. 709 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: You look at him on paper on defense ballers, look 710 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: at him on paper on offense ballers. It all has 711 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: to come together and this might be the week, Paul. 712 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: After last week's defensive performance, this might be the week. 713 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, it would be his best coaching job. Then, yes, 714 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: and I agree. And the point you made and I 715 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: know we gotta wrap it. It's the way he's changed. 716 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 1: He went from a running We're gonna do it no 717 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: matter what to let's take to take the helmet. All right, 718 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: we got it all figured out. It's the best. It 719 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: would be the best if they win the Super Bowl. 720 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: We'll coming to him next. We got you covered with 721 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: all things Seahawks and the NFL. As a professor, John 722 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: Clayton joins us next on Hawks Live. Hawks Slid every 723 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: Thursday from seven and nine, Live on air on seven 724 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: Jenny ESPN Shi sor yes, sorry, it's that time. It's Thursday. 725 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: It's seven forty five. You hear James out in the background. 726 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: That means we're talking to John Clayton. John, how are 727 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: you doing, sir? Well, John's not in there. Oh there is, Oh, 728 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: there are you. It's like, I'm just wondering how much 729 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: of the twelves are enjoying watching to San Francisco forty 730 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: nine ers now looking like the new Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, 731 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: this is uh, this is a tough one because part 732 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: of me is like, yeah, I just knocked San Francisco out. 733 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: I don't like him, but you know, when you I'm 734 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: kind of starting to feel sorry for him. Have to 735 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: and more important, I'd just I'd prefer Green Band and loose. 736 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: They've never been a good matchup for us. Yeah. But 737 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: of course, now what you're looking at is that, you know, 738 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins did well coming in for what two hundred 739 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: and fifty yards of passing in the fourth quarter in 740 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: a comeback when they were down by twenty points, which 741 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: was pretty much meaningless, and now he looks terrible. You know, 742 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: they have so many problems. I mean, how about the 743 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: fact that they end up, you know, being pretty much 744 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: down to almost two receivers, and I know they brought 745 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: up Tyler Craycraft from the practice squad and trying to 746 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: get a couple another running back off the actor squad, 747 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: but I mean they look absolutely terrible. Nick Mullins right 748 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: now has to be close enough to being benched to 749 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 1: go to CJ. Bethard after having a good fourth quarter 750 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: against Seattle, But I mean, this looks really bad. And 751 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: next week they have to go against New Orleans and 752 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: so pretty much the forty nine ers are out of it, 753 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: so now it's becoming a three team race in the 754 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: NFC West. You know, John, one of my buddies, who 755 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: is a forty nine er fan, texted me and said, 756 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is a better quarterback than Jimmy Garoppolo. Look 757 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: at the fourth quarter. It's not very smart, as he John, No, 758 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: not really, No, I mean again, I mean, let's put 759 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: it this way. Whoever texted you didn't realize that a 760 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when Jimmy Garoppolo ended up after 761 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: the mistake of Kyle Shanahan and putting him out there 762 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,919 Speaker 1: with that seven for seventeen performance with the bad high 763 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: ankle sprain, and then they come back and they go 764 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 1: to Nick Mullins. What did it do? The next week 765 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 1: they went to CJ. Bethard. It's like, Okay, if Mullins 766 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: is that good, are you going to stay with him? 767 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: So they ended up going to Bethard and you almost 768 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: have to think they're on the verge of doing the 769 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: same thing. And I mean, this thing is really bad. 770 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: I counted up today. Now again they have two opt outs, 771 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: but if you count, don't count the two opt outs. 772 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 1: They have twenty two players on a reserve list, whether 773 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be injured, reserve pup, anything like that. 774 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: Twenty two players and of course you've got three of 775 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: those included in that or four of those and COVID's testing, 776 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: and so the left tackle Trent Williams, he has been uh, 777 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 1: he's got a positive that he didn't get a positive 778 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: COVID's test because it was really Kendrick Bourne, and so 779 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: because he was in the room with him, they had 780 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: to keep him out of the game. But his replacement 781 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: has given up three sacks. John a lot of players 782 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: coming back and knew both knew and old, you know, 783 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: guys getting healthy, and some trades as well. Talk about 784 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: some of the roster moves this week and what's that 785 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: mean moving forward for the Hawks, Well, you have to 786 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,479 Speaker 1: think that there's got to be a bunch of roster moves. 787 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: They cut Luke Wilson, you know, Demtree Moore ended up 788 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 1: getting suspended, so that opens up a roster space and 789 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 1: then you know, you figure that snacks Harrison it's got 790 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: to be his week. You know that Carlos Dunlap has 791 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: now been on the active roster and he's been cleared 792 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: from the exempt list. You figure Rashine Green is going 793 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: to probably be available. You figure Philip doors Set is 794 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: probably going to go on injured reserve because he had 795 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: the bone spur surgery. So there's gonna be a lot 796 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: of moves. But I mean, look at the reinforcements. You're 797 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,359 Speaker 1: talking about the best safety in the game, Jamal Adams 798 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: coming back. He'll be back. You've got Dunlap, he'll see 799 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: his debut, He'll see Damon snacks Harrison his debut, and 800 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: then you know, whatever other moves they can make. I 801 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 1: think that that bodes well for this team. John, This 802 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: defense performed better than most weeks last week against the 803 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. What do you think it was and 804 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: should we expect this type of play to continue? Well, again, 805 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 1: it's going to be a little bit tougher because Garoppolo 806 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: did not look good and I think he was still 807 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: lingering because of the problems with the ankle. So now 808 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 1: it's going to be better offense coming from Josh Allen 809 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: because he's healthy. I mean, he's got the best one 810 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: of the top three wide receiver groups in football, and 811 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: so that's gonna make it a little bit tougher. But 812 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, I think overall the defense just has to 813 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: make It's going to come down to the pass rush 814 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: as it always does and the secondary. Now, of course, 815 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: the one thing that I think that you can see 816 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 1: is that they're going to probably have a pretty heavy 817 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: blitzing scheme because you saw how well Bobby Wagner did 818 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: getting to two sacks of pressures and getting Defensive Player 819 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: of the Week in the NFC. And now you got 820 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams coming back, and you know he's played Buffalo 821 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 1: two times a year and Josh Allen, so he'll know 822 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: what to do. So I think that that could be 823 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: a heavy dose. But also aside from that, the key 824 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: has to be getting Chachim Griffin back. He didn't practice today, 825 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: which is probably unfortunate because of the hamstring. I know 826 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: we still got a concussion issue right now. But you 827 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: know they need Chachim, they need Quentin Dunbar, you know, 828 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: they need Trey Flowers. You know they need of course, 829 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: uh you know, a DJ Reid who did a great 830 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: job last week. They need as much as they can 831 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: to control this game. But what is it. I think 832 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: the over under is like fifty five, and you figure 833 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: the way this team has been this year. It's probably 834 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: going to be the over as far as scoring John 835 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: a couple player wise, one, you know, a year ago, 836 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: if you had to said, hey, we had a chance 837 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: to get Vic Beasley, former Atlanta Falcon guy who at 838 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half sacks and then signs of the 839 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: free agent this year with Tennessee gets released, you know, 840 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: halfway through the season. One, What's what's going on there? 841 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: And then I got a follow up question, is there 842 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: any chance he ends up as a Seahawk? I can't 843 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: see why not. I mean, because you know he's gonna 844 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 1: want to try to come to a good team, and 845 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: you know he's been with Dan Quinn, who knows the Seahawks, 846 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: he knows the Seahawks defense and all that stuff. And 847 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: he went to Tennessee and was terrible. I mean, he 848 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: came ten days late because of some medical issue, is 849 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: what the general manager said. They didn't describe what the 850 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: medical issue was. He had three tackles in the games 851 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: that he's played and has been a non factor. But 852 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: of course I was going through this, Paul, is that 853 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: you know, think about this was not a good year 854 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: to try to go and pay a defensive end linebacker, 855 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: edge edge rusher. And why as I say that, you know, 856 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 1: Dante Fowler got fifteen million dollars a year, and you 857 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,919 Speaker 1: know he has the same number of sacks two as 858 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: Benson Mayowa and Jamal Adams. I mean, you look at 859 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: the fact that they had Jadevi and Clowney at thirteen 860 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: million and Vic Beasley at nine and a half million, 861 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: they had zero sacks. And so the really a Minuel 862 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: Ogba who went to Miami as a linebacker. I mean, 863 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: he's had like a little over five or six sacks. 864 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: And of course you've got Alden Smith who'd been out 865 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: of football five years. You know, he's had about five. 866 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: But you've had very few players as edge rushers doing 867 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 1: good things. I mean, you know, Ederson Griffin ended up 868 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: getting two and a half sacks for Dallas before he 869 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: was traded, and that didn't work out because he went 870 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: to Minnesota. And so this was not a good year 871 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: to try to go and acquire edge rushers. And so 872 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, the Dunbar, the dun Lap 873 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: deal was a good deal because I think he can help. 874 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: But overall, this was just a tough year. But I 875 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: think if you're Seattle you've got to consider Besy because again, 876 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: Besi's gonna make nine and a half million dollars. That's 877 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: not going to change. He's already guaranteed that. So he 878 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: can come and take the minimum salary and uh, you know, 879 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: come here to Seattle and try to at least be 880 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, it's it's it's an interesting year. And 881 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: I'd read earlier. I think it was last year in 882 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: free agency that he was he wanted to be a Seahawk. 883 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: But we'll see how that plays out. Okay, time, this 884 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: is your time, John, this is our favorite moment. What 885 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: do you want to talk about? The mic is yours? Well, 886 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,359 Speaker 1: because I was surprising because you always ask each week 887 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: what people haven't asked about? And why was there a 888 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: thirty percent decrease in trades? The trade deadline was Tuesday, 889 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: and it turned out there was only seventy three trades 890 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: this year after one hundred and five last year and 891 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 1: one hundred and two and so much. It was a 892 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 1: couple things. One was a pandemic because now it takes 893 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: longer to get players on the roster, Like if you 894 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: make a trade on Tuesday, you can't get them on 895 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: the roster till the next week. Secondly, everybody is so 896 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: worried about picking up a big salary because next year 897 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: the cap could go down twenty million dollars. And so 898 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,479 Speaker 1: what you saw there was a lot of guys going 899 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: for six and seventh round picks, were not big names, 900 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: and so that wasn't the case, and so this was 901 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: not a big trade year. The pandemic played part of it. 902 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: The fact that there's no preseason that played part of 903 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: it as far as preseason games, no offseason programs, so 904 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: everybody's kind of looking at the roster that late, and 905 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: so it really turned out to be kind of a 906 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: wash this year for trades. Well, if they would have 907 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: just talked to you, John, and you'd let them know 908 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: everything that you thought, there might have been more trades 909 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: this year. But everyone I could have talked them into it. Yeah, 910 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: they look they don't. He'll have our segment with John. 911 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: They ain't got it like us. Well, John, Hey, thanks again. 912 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: I get to talk to you twice on Thursday, So 913 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: nice talking to you again.

We got it all covered. So I grew 931 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 1: up liking the forty nine ers. Unfortunately, who was your 932 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: team growing up? My team was the coach ironically, Wow, wow, 933 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know why. I just liked the coach. 934 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,760 Speaker 1: I like Tayton Beatty Bob said, this was a dog Beckya, 935 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney there, you know, Tony Gonzale and they had 936 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: all type of Martin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, you know what 937 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like that was my team growing up. So 938 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm reading, uh, Independence High School, which I'm gonna ask 939 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: a bit here, Kansas State University, Serritos College. I went 940 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: to Fort and Junior College. So I got a little 941 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 1: love for from my JC guys back we were back 942 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: when I was playing. We there's some good teams Cerritos, 943 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: some really good teams. So just talk about that. Sarritos, 944 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 1: how you got there from Bakersfield and then and then 945 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: and then the transition to Case State. Yeah, so I 946 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: walked on to Fresno State my true freshman year didn't 947 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: work out, and then I went to JUCO, which I 948 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: went to Serritos Community College. I went to three schools. 949 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 1: I went to Mountain Sack, yeah, I believe no, No, 950 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: my far two schools, Mountain Sack and Cerritos, and we 951 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: ended up going to Sarritos just for the academics we 952 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: felt were better over there. Because I wanted to get 953 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: out in one year. So that's the decision. I made 954 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: and they worked out and then how Kay State and 955 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, I went to Arizona State. They at that 956 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: time they recruited a lot of Juco guys as well. 957 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: But just the decision who else are you recruited by 958 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: and how you ended up getting to Kansas Kansas State. Yeah, 959 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 1: so my first offer was from Indiana State, a small 960 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 1: D one double A, and I took my visit there, 961 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: but I wanted to go somewhere bigger than Fresno State. 962 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: And then my next offer was Kansas State. So that 963 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,720 Speaker 1: was the first big school to offer me. After Kansas 964 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: State offered me, my next offer was from Miami and 965 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:10,439 Speaker 1: I started they started rolling in Miami, Arkansas, Nebraska, Syracuse, etc. 966 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: Et c. Colorado. But I only only uh took two 967 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: visits and that was Indiana State in Kansas State. And 968 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: the reason why I commit to Kansas States because they 969 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 1: were the first big school to take a risk on me. 970 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: They were first big school to offer me. And then 971 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: my cousin went there, mcgil he went there, and then 972 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: Darren Spros he went there. And yeah, so Tyler Lockett 973 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: didn't play you over, huh oh yeah, Locke, Yeah, Locke two. 974 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: But Terrice Knewman. So I was just you know, I 975 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: was very intrigued when I went to my visit, seen 976 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: the fans. We went to a basketball game, and it's 977 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 1: just so good, so so right. Yeah, man, gotta you 978 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,760 Speaker 1: gotta go with what feels right, especially when you're being recruited. 979 00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 1: My next question for you is, man one, congratulations on 980 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: the pick too. I want to thank you for bringing 981 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 1: back celebrations. The Hawks receiver crew had celebration for days 982 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: last week. What made you it was? It was a 983 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 1: hot potato? Is that what I was saying? Yeah, it 984 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: was a form of hot potato. I really just wanted 985 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 1: all my guys to touch the ball so they could 986 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: get that confidence. Because once you get a pick, once 987 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 1: you touch that football, man, you know your hands are 988 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 1: stilled ten times bigger. So I just want to all 989 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: my all my guys to touch the ball. And I 990 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: felt like me getting that pick was contagious to everybody 991 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: eating on the defense, they tell us about the whole 992 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: you've got, you get the pack injury, you get released 993 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: by the forty nine, there's the Seahawks pick you up. 994 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 1: And John Schneider is always looking out for that type 995 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 1: of opportunity. But talk about the injury. Were you surprised 996 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: to be released and then just how quickly the whole 997 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: thing with the Seahawks transpired. Yeah, I wouldn't say I 998 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 1: was surprised to be released. It was it was definitely 999 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: something that could happen. I wasn't n eased to that, 1000 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,879 Speaker 1: but I was a little surprised with just with how 1001 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: everything went down because when I tore my pet. After 1002 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 1: I tore it, basically when they called me, you know, 1003 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: when I when I got the call from Wench to 1004 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 1: come up there and talk to him, he just basically said, 1005 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 1: like nobody would be nobody would take me. It would 1006 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: be extremely rare. Nobody would pick me up like I 1007 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: would just you know, come back next year to the Niners. 1008 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,200 Speaker 1: So and even my agent told me that because that's 1009 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: just rarely for someone to pick you up with a 1010 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: torn pet, you know. So my mom said just went 1011 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: from Okay, I'm gonna just spend this time with my 1012 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: family and just relax and you know, take this time 1013 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: to get closer to God and just share with my family. 1014 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: And then the next day when they called me, um 1015 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: my agent told me three teams were very interested and 1016 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: it was the Bills. It was the Seahawks and the Texans, 1017 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: and then the Seahawks poured the string at twelve o'clock 1018 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 1: and obviously when they put the string, my mindset changed 1019 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 1: completely and I wanted to rehab and get back into 1020 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: playing football. Game. Man, that's awesome. I love those type 1021 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,719 Speaker 1: of stories because those are the type of things that 1022 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: people don't really know about. You know, there are battles 1023 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: that athletes go through when they're not healthy and just 1024 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: being mentally tough. So, man, I'm glad you got another 1025 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,839 Speaker 1: chance to leave your dream and make the most out 1026 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: of an opportunity. First game back against the team that 1027 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,880 Speaker 1: told you that no one's going to pick you up, 1028 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,839 Speaker 1: and you get a pick? Man, did you did you 1029 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: say something to somebody out there? What was that like? Yeah? 1030 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean honestly, I kept the professional, man, because at 1031 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I understand this is a 1032 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: business and you don't ever want to burn bridges. And 1033 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,839 Speaker 1: you know, Lynch came up to me before the game 1034 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: and said, it's great to see you out here. He's 1035 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: just like, it's good seeing you, and you know, I 1036 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: to app them up. And Simmons Hearttower, the special team's coach, U. 1037 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: He showed me love before the game and just said 1038 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: Missie man, love you and all that. So you know, 1039 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: I just responded back, I love you too, appreciate it. 1040 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: But obviously I was focused on the game. And then afterwards, 1041 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, I got love from Solid, the defensive coordinator, 1042 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: and also you know along of the guys. You know, 1043 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 1: I told I told doctor McAdams, that's the team doctor 1044 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: over there. He did both of my surgeries. So I 1045 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: had surgery on my pack well recently, and then my 1046 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: rookie year, I had surgery on my label and I 1047 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 1: just told him thank you for the successful surgeries he's done, 1048 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: because he did a great job with the surgery that 1049 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: I've had. So you know, it was all love at 1050 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day. But obviously, you know what 1051 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It was definitely motivation for me to come 1052 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: back when we played the Niners for my first game, Like, 1053 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: I was definitely motivated by that. Well, we're we're happy 1054 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,480 Speaker 1: with the results. You know, it's interesting for you to 1055 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 1: talk about Lynch and probably Shannon and all those guys. 1056 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 1: It just shows it sounds like classy organization because I 1057 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: think you hear a lot former players as well. When 1058 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 1: they leave the Seahawks also, and you know that that's 1059 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: good good to hear bad for the Seahawks because that 1060 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: means the battle between the forty nine is gonna live on. 1061 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna move to Buffalo because yeah, Buffalo, Man, you 1062 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: hear Buffalo forever twenty years, you're playing Buffalo. Buffalo is 1063 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean there's six and two. This Josh Allen, 1064 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: I mean he's I think he's the real deal too. 1065 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean, athletic strong arm. They got some great receivers, 1066 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: digs obviously. Cole Beasley talk about the challenges in this 1067 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: game coming up. Yeah, I look at it. It's gonna 1068 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: be a great matchup, going to be fun. I feel 1069 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: like our defense is starting to mode and click. You know, 1070 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: we're getting some key guys back U jamal Um done life. 1071 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of you know, guys back. So 1072 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be, you know, very fun to see out 1073 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: every team jails together. Um. But you know, Josh Allen, 1074 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,000 Speaker 1: he's a great quarterback. You know, he has a big frame, 1075 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: I believe two thirty something, so he's really like a 1076 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 1: tight end when he's running the ball out there. So 1077 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, you got to be ready to bring him down. Um. 1078 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: He has a great arm, so he's definitely a great 1079 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: duel a duel threat. Um. Same as Digs, he's uh, 1080 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 1: their go to receiver. He's very good and at his brakes, explosive, 1081 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, does a good job after 1082 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: the catch, So we're going to do a great job 1083 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 1: on him. Same as Code Beasley. You know he's been 1084 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: doing it for a while now. Um. Just very productive 1085 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 1: in the slot. So man, we're looking forward to the 1086 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,799 Speaker 1: match up. It's gonna be very fun.

As far as on the field, 1104 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: we speak up. You know, our coaches, coach Dray, he 1105 00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,359 Speaker 1: does a great job of listening and bringing it, you know, 1106 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: for to Pete Carroll to see what we could do 1107 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 1: to make things better because you know, everything isn't perfect, 1108 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: but we got to find a way to get the 1109 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: job done.

This first play we're gonna 1139 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: break down is the guy we just spoke to. DJ 1140 00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: Reid intercepts Jimmy Garoppolo in the first quarter, empty backfield 1141 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 1: for man rushed by the Hawks. Garoppolo stop starts, looks, 1142 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,479 Speaker 1: shows an interception. Hickcoff down here in the fifteen yard 1143 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: line by the Hawks, reaching up making the interception. Is 1144 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: one of the new kids on the block. DJ Reid 1145 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,399 Speaker 1: just activated today. Read a former San Francisco forty nine 1146 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: or himself read that play perfectly picks it off and 1147 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks in back to back plays don't get a 1148 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: takeaway and then to get a takeaway quick summary one 1149 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 1: couldn't be happier for you read I mean, you know 1150 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: the whole forty nine thing. We just had him on. 1151 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: For those who are listening, awesome, really good interception and 1152 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 1: they just shows his quickness on Kittle, who is the 1153 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,479 Speaker 1: best tight end in the NFL, who runs a quick 1154 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:08,160 Speaker 1: out and he's he's got he's taken the out away 1155 00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,960 Speaker 1: comes back to make this interception the third quick summer 1156 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: before I break this this play out, all right, Jimmy Garoppoloimy, 1157 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,479 Speaker 1: your boy is not your boy. He's below a good 1158 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 1: quarterback to fifteen. He's not top fifteen quarterbacks in the league. 1159 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: All I give him fifteen sixteen right in the middle, 1160 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,719 Speaker 1: him right in the middle. Okay, I mean so let 1161 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,439 Speaker 1: me describe this play. So first of all, they line 1162 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: up and they've got three wide three wide receiver. Look 1163 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 1: to our left, Kittles the third wide receiver, and they 1164 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: got two wide receivers. Oh, you have to specify you're 1165 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 1: you're talking defense to the left. That brows me off 1166 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,160 Speaker 1: to the defense left right and to the offense right, 1167 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: thank you and um. And then they motioned McKinnon, who's 1168 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 1: lined up as a kind of a fourth guy to 1169 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 1: the defense's left, offenses right. He motions to the offenses left, 1170 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: defense is right, And so they line up in this 1171 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: little stack position with or with Pettis there. What's really 1172 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 1: interesting is this third down and four or five, and 1173 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,880 Speaker 1: McKinnon runs this kind of delay angle routes right and 1174 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: I think it's more of an option route. He just 1175 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: turns and hits the sticks. He's sitting about a yard 1176 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: past the first down. Why Garoppolo came off of him, quit, 1177 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I think he's looking for Pettis 1178 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 1: on the out route and because Ryan Neil reroutes him, 1179 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 1: jams him. And this is the one thing I want 1180 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: to come back. Man, if you're listening to me, this 1181 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,320 Speaker 1: is what you need to do more of. We've got 1182 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: to challenge routes off the line of scrimmage. This little 1183 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: thing right here stops really if you look at the 1184 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 1: other receivers on the other side, it's about a three 1185 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 1: to four yard difference and stretching the defense, the corners, 1186 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 1: the safeties. Garroppolo again, he's got the angle option route 1187 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 1: to McKinnon. I don't know why comes off it, but 1188 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: he comes off it really quick, comes back to a 1189 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 1: secondary option. Really should have probably looked for the steam 1190 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: route which was open. But again, this is where Reid is. 1191 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 1: This is why we picked him up. We kept him 1192 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,800 Speaker 1: with this peck injury, thinking he would have a chance 1193 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 1: to come back this year. He healed quickly. His quickness 1194 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 1: and recovery on this and ball skills really good. It's 1195 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: a horrible throw. It's a throw way inside and that 1196 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 1: Kittle slips and it's still way inside of him right 1197 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: when he's coming back to the inside. So great interception, 1198 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: horrible by the quarterback. Huge play, because there were two 1199 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: drives in this game that they had a chance to 1200 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: score and jump on us early. This was the second one. 1201 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: We turned them away both times, and we end up 1202 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,440 Speaker 1: going down and scoring on this drive after. Yeah, you know, 1203 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at that combination between Pettis and McKinnon, and 1204 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 1: this is why I think Jimmy garoppologos off of that 1205 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 1: route quickly, because in practice, Pettis has been getting an 1206 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: outside release on that flat defender, holding that leverage. So 1207 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: once he saw he didn't have leverage on that guy, 1208 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: he panicked and he flips back that way. First of all, 1209 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: that should be your read side anyway, wherever Kittle is 1210 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 1: in the pass game should be your read side. So 1211 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 1: he goes back to Kittle slips. Yes, but read is 1212 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: in great position. REGOs, Look, you're not gonna beat me outside. 1213 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep outside leverage. I know I have help 1214 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: inside because that's where it's help is, right, I'm gonna 1215 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: make sure I have outside. I'm gonna force you get 1216 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,960 Speaker 1: inside back to my help. Kettle slips, Jimmy throws a 1217 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 1: horrible football. Get Jimmy off schedule, and you have a 1218 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,200 Speaker 1: chance to make plays. So here's an unnoticed piece to it. 1219 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 1: Stefan Sullivan is our left defensive end. He flashes, he 1220 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 1: gets pressure wide, which makes Garoppolo had to come back, 1221 00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 1: step up and read as just enough pressure where his 1222 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 1: foot is almost stepped on at the very end. I 1223 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: don't know if that influences him, if he doesn't like 1224 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:59,840 Speaker 1: people around him, But man, this Stefan Sullivan little deal 1225 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 1: could experiments. It could be good. It would be good. 1226 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: It's you know, he's got to work on his pad level. 1227 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,480 Speaker 1: It's a little high. I mean, it's he stands straight up. 1228 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 1: I would like to tell him, hey, like a forty 1229 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: yard dash, we're not standing straight up right from the 1230 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: get go. Yeah, dad, straight up? All right, this next one, 1231 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying a word. No, no, this is all 1232 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: You're not gonna say word. Introduced it? Then all right, 1233 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: this is this is the freak. By the way, real quick, 1234 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,360 Speaker 1: we call him the freak in a really positive way. 1235 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: If someone called you a freak, how would you feel 1236 01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 1: about that? I'm five eleven, one eighty five, one ninety 1237 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 1: so I'd be like right now talking about yeah, okay, 1238 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 1: maybe one ninety three, all right, okay, now this is yea, 1239 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 1: this is uh first touchdown of the game. And it's 1240 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: the freak. And I would love to say it's a 1241 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 1: great throw, but to me, this is all DK. They 1242 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: walk the strong safety up in the line of scrimmage 1243 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,919 Speaker 1: and he does come. Russ looks, grows back inside. Paul's caught. 1244 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,920 Speaker 1: It's madcap. Who makes one man? Now two mans? Thirty 1245 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: twenty five turns to film. They don't touch him. Touchdown, Shayhawks. 1246 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: How in the world did he tiptoe up the sidelines, 1247 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: two defenders breaking on him and nobody touched him? And 1248 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,720 Speaker 1: DK metcalf, starts far on the left, comes all the 1249 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,680 Speaker 1: way across the field and scores from forty six. The 1250 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks are on the board first six. Nothing. This is 1251 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 1: pure manipulation of the defense. You look at these routes 1252 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: that are going on to DK side. You have a 1253 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 1: back that is going out to the flat. He's gonna 1254 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 1: take care of the flat defender. You have Lockett who's 1255 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: running a seam. You're running a seam against a one 1256 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: high actually is more of a post against a one high. 1257 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,840 Speaker 1: You know you're not getting this football. You're gonna run 1258 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,240 Speaker 1: right into that single safety. Then you have Hollister running 1259 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 1: a seam Russell does a great job of looking away 1260 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 1: from DK to manipulate this defense and now decades gainst 1261 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 1: ten yards. He snaps his hips. Boom, Russell leads him 1262 01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: to the middle of the field. Yes, Russell had to 1263 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 1: at least throw a good football there. I give him. 1264 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,440 Speaker 1: LEAs him to the middle field. And after this, you know, 1265 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 1: my coach, Michael's Levin Seller Washington State, was an offensive coordinator, 1266 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 1: my receiver coach. There, he goes, look, I can get 1267 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,080 Speaker 1: you open after that, go for what you know. I 1268 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 1: can't teach you how to run with the football in hand. 1269 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened right here. Now DK works his 1270 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: way across the field, makes them move on. A linebacker 1271 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: picks up a blot from Hollister picks up a blot 1272 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 1: excuse me from that's Disley end. Hollister out there picking 1273 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: up bloss gets to the sideline. Now you get your 1274 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 1: knees up, you get on your horse, and you do 1275 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,560 Speaker 1: what your DNA says your best at that is scoring touchdowns. Yeah, 1276 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,800 Speaker 1: it could be Olson. I'm not sure that. All I 1277 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: know is there's two tight ends that are lined up 1278 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:50,200 Speaker 1: inside outside of Tyler Lockett, and Tyler runs that deep 1279 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 1: backside sale route right, and so sale means you're going 1280 01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,880 Speaker 1: for the flag the end corner, and we could say 1281 01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,240 Speaker 1: a deep crossing route, whatever you want to say. They 1282 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: have seen that so many times. The safety free safety 1283 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:06,560 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, single he jumps it and so there's 1284 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: now basically two guys on the other side with the 1285 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,400 Speaker 1: tight ends and DC's gonna outrun anybody who's sitting on 1286 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,959 Speaker 1: the outside of him on a crossrom route. Forget that. Look, 1287 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: we've probably spent more time on this and needed. This 1288 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: is just DK. He's a freak. This is a difference 1289 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: between a really a fifteen maybe twenty yard route forty 1290 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 1: six yard touchdown. Now from our opening, I said, you know, 1291 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,479 Speaker 1: San Francisco is playing Green Bay at seven nothing and 1292 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: got a guy in the end zone. It's an easy 1293 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 1: catch and touchdown. He doesn't drag his foot properly. It 1294 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 1: ends up being seven three. That's a difference between play makers. 1295 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,040 Speaker 1: And I can be a fantastic coach if you get 1296 01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 1: me enough, DK metcast Russell, William Russell Wilson. I could 1297 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,000 Speaker 1: be an offensive coordinator and I could be pretty good. 1298 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Not as good as the one we have, but you know, 1299 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,200 Speaker 1: I could probably get a job. If I got enough 1300 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: of those goods, job, I can get a gig out 1301 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: there somewhere. It's thirty two teams, Yes, all right. This 1302 01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 1: next play, Bobby Wagner sacks Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo takes the shotgun, 1303 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 1: snap seven step drop, gets hit Bobby Wagon. You're just 1304 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,600 Speaker 1: drills him and drops him back at the fifteen yard line. Dave, 1305 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,520 Speaker 1: you've been talking about that. Bobby has come three or 1306 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: four times. That time he breaks free and is in 1307 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 1: the backfield. Garoppolo is dropped, and now the Seahawks are 1308 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back in pretty good field position. Well, 1309 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,920 Speaker 1: really well designed play play. You know, I love this 1310 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 1: play so much. I want to hear one more time. 1311 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: And here's why, because I've been waiting for Bobby to 1312 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: really come with it. Come here one more time. Garoppolo 1313 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,040 Speaker 1: takes the shotgun, snap seven step drop, gets hit Bobby Wagon. 1314 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: You're just drills him and drops him back at the 1315 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 1: fifteen yard line. Dave, you've been talking about that. Bobby 1316 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 1: has come three or four times. That time he breaks 1317 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: free and he is in the backfield. Garoppolo is dropped, 1318 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,120 Speaker 1: and now the Seahawks are gonna get the ball back 1319 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,120 Speaker 1: in pretty good field position. You know what, Here's what 1320 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 1: happened here here, I'll break it down for you, Paul, 1321 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,680 Speaker 1: break it down, all right. So Bobby lines up over 1322 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: the center in the one tech position. Now, what I 1323 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 1: love about this play is that Sullivan is on a stunt. 1324 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 1: This is what I want to see. Sullivan has been 1325 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: rushing through the outside most of the game. He spends inside. 1326 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 1: DJ Reid makes a move confusing the offensive line. You 1327 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 1: want to get these guys to communicate. Now, Bobby just 1328 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,000 Speaker 1: wins his matchup one on one with the center, has 1329 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 1: great hands. Right, there's almost like he's been down with 1330 01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: the receivers. Paul working on releases because I saw this 1331 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,479 Speaker 1: is right here. Great hands gets to the quarterback, makes 1332 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 1: the offensive line have to communicate. We need to see 1333 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: more of this. Yeah, you know, this is a really 1334 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: well designed play. Like I said earlier, Jordan Brooks comes 1335 01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 1: in on a stunt from you know, off to the 1336 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 1: defense's left. He's lined up on I think it's Kittle 1337 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,720 Speaker 1: at the time. That the receiver he's got a long 1338 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: way to go without him. The line. The running back 1339 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,800 Speaker 1: probably picks up to help Bobby Wagner, but the reason 1340 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 1: why I love this plan. It's actually the same as 1341 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 1: his other sack. Also, he beats the center quick and 1342 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 1: he's a tough guy to match up. I mean, he's 1343 01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,960 Speaker 1: so athletic. Centers have a hard time with him. He 1344 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:22,080 Speaker 1: also ran over the running back in his other sack. 1345 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Two guys on this one. This one again, it's just athleticism. 1346 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 1: He speed rushes the center out wide. There's you can't 1347 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,880 Speaker 1: there's no way he can move his feet the center 1348 01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 1: to get him. Bobby could go almost all the way 1349 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:39,400 Speaker 1: out to the tackle and come around. He's so fast 1350 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 1: and athletic. There's no way can pick this up. In 1351 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: this stunt by Brooks coming in is a reason why 1352 01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Wagner gets a sack because the running back doesn't come 1353 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 1: off on Brooks. Brooks AND's got killing Garoppolo. So I'm 1354 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,200 Speaker 1: just excited. It's not a I think we did send 1355 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 1: six guys. We need to see more of this. We 1356 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 1: got to trust our secondary to cover. I think we can. 1357 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,320 Speaker 1: We can take chances. There's times, let's say one out 1358 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:04,919 Speaker 1: of three times it doesn't work, but that one puts 1359 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 1: them in the hole. Whether it's second down in twenty 1360 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 1: or third down. We're off the field, I feel you 1361 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 1: we need to see more of this, all right? Coming 1362 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: up next, we have around the NFL. I want to 1363 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 1: encourage you guys to text us.

Next week, just to plug our show, 1374 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,040 Speaker 1: all right, Next week I will be with Matt. Okay, 1375 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,640 Speaker 1: we will put all the bumps which together. What do 1376 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 1: you mean with Matt gonna be here with me? You're 1377 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 1: no man. I're gonna talk with NASA. NASA will ultimately 1378 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 1: make the decision like he always does. But I want 1379 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some input into the bump music and 1380 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna see because last week I went four for five, 1381 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,920 Speaker 1: I'd like think five for five, but I really missed 1382 01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 1: the one. We're gonna see how good you are with 1383 01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Moyer Bump music. I'm with that. I'm going right, all right, 1384 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: Well let's go around the NFL. Where's the music? And 1385 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:28,439 Speaker 1: I get the music now? All right, this is what 1386 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,559 Speaker 1: we're gonna do. Well, there it is. It's official. You 1387 01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,880 Speaker 1: hear the music. It is real, all right, Paul? What 1388 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,479 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the potential of a sixteen team playoff? 1389 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,840 Speaker 1: Why punish the teams that were able to make it 1390 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 1: through the season without an outbreak and the number one 1391 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: seed who then would have to play wild card weekend? Obviously, 1392 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 1: it really depends on where you are as a fan, 1393 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,920 Speaker 1: right you know, if you're right now, if you're four 1394 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,280 Speaker 1: and three or five and three and you're out of 1395 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 1: the playoff hunt because there's some good teams, you know, 1396 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,559 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, this is awesome for the seahow and 1397 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. To me, it's disastrous. I 1398 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,559 Speaker 1: mean there's two things. One is, why would you make 1399 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: the number one seed not have the opportunity to have 1400 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 1: a bye week and get rested up. In two man, 1401 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,320 Speaker 1: we're during COVID. There is no home field advantage. Every 1402 01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:19,759 Speaker 1: game is a neutral game. This is the one time 1403 01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 1: to be ten and six because I'm not afraid of 1404 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,040 Speaker 1: going on the road to anybody, and no one's afraid 1405 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: to come up here to Seattle. I mean, you and 1406 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 1: I and NASA and other guys. We're in the suite. 1407 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,719 Speaker 1: We're yelling, but we're not making a lot of noise. 1408 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,879 Speaker 1: You know, there's no one jumping out sides because of it. 1409 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 1: It's it's horrible. Don't do it. Why would you reward teams? 1410 01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 1: And right now I'm looking at the teams that would 1411 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 1: be rewarded. The Rams would be rewarded, the Bears would 1412 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,200 Speaker 1: be rewarded. There with three losses. Look if we wouldn't 1413 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 1: played the Bears or the Rams at home first game, 1414 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,720 Speaker 1: no bye week, right, Look, could we lose to those 1415 01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,519 Speaker 1: two teams? Absolutely, those are good teams. You come in 1416 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 1: a full house. That's a whole nother story in Seattle. 1417 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,639 Speaker 1: So you gotta give the number one seed number two. 1418 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 1: You gotta give them summary reward, right, and the reward 1419 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,360 Speaker 1: is a week off to get healthy. Yeah, this isn't 1420 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 1: the NBA or the number one place to eight and 1421 01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,800 Speaker 1: you're probably is gonna smash them in five games, and 1422 01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 1: you're good to go. This is the NFL where guys 1423 01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,840 Speaker 1: are going to be banged up. This is why you 1424 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 1: love that first round by It gives you a chance 1425 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 1: to get healthy, gives you a chance to prepare. This 1426 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: is probably this is the one reason why you want 1427 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 1: that first seed. Granted, your path to the NFC Championship, 1428 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:39,360 Speaker 1: ABC Championship is easier. But the main thing is health. 1429 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,839 Speaker 1: Let these guys have a buy, get healthy and prepare. 1430 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 1: I don't like this at all. I'm with you, Paul. 1431 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,760 Speaker 1: Don't reward these teams. Doesn't make some you know, it 1432 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,479 Speaker 1: is so weird to watch the forty nine Ers and 1433 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans and the Bucks because other teams were battling 1434 01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,679 Speaker 1: for the number one seed. What's right? And but part 1435 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: of me who cares, just be healthy. It's a neutral field. 1436 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,240 Speaker 1: We play well on a neutral field. You know. Obviously 1437 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 1: we're undefeated at home right now. But it's just a 1438 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 1: different year. Okay, next question, Tua got his start. Now, 1439 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people were scratching their heads, why would 1440 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: you do this? And the world on the street is 1441 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,679 Speaker 1: that Miami has a couple of first round picks coming 1442 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: up next year. So they want to see what two 1443 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 1: is all about. So let's get him going. Now. My 1444 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: concern was Fitzpatrick has his fitzmagic going. Let him ride 1445 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,759 Speaker 1: this wave and then if he falters, then you bring 1446 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,519 Speaker 1: Tuah in. He goes out there, he has what ninety 1447 01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 1: yards passing twelve or twenty two something like that. Nothing impressive. 1448 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 1: He wins a ball game, but really that defense won 1449 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 1: that ball game. That special teams won that ball game. 1450 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,960 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on tour? Not enough information yet? 1451 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,360 Speaker 1: You know he didn't do much, you know last week 1452 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,559 Speaker 1: obviously he won. It's still weird to me. They're four 1453 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 1: and three, they're in the playoff front. They've won three 1454 01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 1: games in a row now. Their defense is was pretty 1455 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: much New England's defense from a couple of years ago. 1456 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,679 Speaker 1: They got half their linebackers. Actually they do have half 1457 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:10,719 Speaker 1: their linebackers. It's it's weird to me. When's the last 1458 01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:15,760 Speaker 1: time a rookie quarterback won the Super Bowl? Never? Never? Right? 1459 01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,960 Speaker 1: How when's the last time a rookie and I don't 1460 01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 1: even know the answer to this has even been to 1461 01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Not much and probably never. Maybe one 1462 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 1: didn't been Roethlisberger. Nah that he beat the Seahawks, but 1463 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,839 Speaker 1: he wouldn't a rookie, I don't think so. So whatever 1464 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:36,880 Speaker 1: it is, it's not much. So you're kind of telling people, look, 1465 01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna cut yourself security, right, We're not all of it. 1466 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna cut it. In other words, you're not getting 1467 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 1: to all of it. And that's kind of what you're 1468 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 1: saying to the to the your team is we're playing 1469 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 1: for next year. We're not. We may get to the playoffs, 1470 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have fun, but we're putting this guy in 1471 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 1: a position to learn what it's like to be in 1472 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,719 Speaker 1: a playoff hunt and all that stuff. It's just weird 1473 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,680 Speaker 1: to me because you're doing it when you're winning and 1474 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,719 Speaker 1: you're winning ball games. You you are in the hunt 1475 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,960 Speaker 1: for the division, and you're saying, you know what, let's 1476 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 1: roll the dice. I know, I know, I've I've won 1477 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: five hundred bucks at this table right now, forget it. 1478 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,880 Speaker 1: Let's let's just throw four hundred on on whatever and 1479 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: roll the dice and see what happens. I think as 1480 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,719 Speaker 1: a veteran, that messes up your mentality as a young guy, 1481 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 1: you're kind of like, Okay, I'm gonna grow with to it. 1482 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 1: So I'm with this, But those veterans who are like, look, 1483 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,720 Speaker 1: this is our chance to win the division that was 1484 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: untouchable for twenty years, you're killing me, coach. I know 1485 01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 1: you got buffalo one there too. Yeah. I think it's 1486 01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,080 Speaker 1: the part I was throwing about the social security is 1487 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,840 Speaker 1: it may need to be a legit conversation. You just 1488 01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,640 Speaker 1: got to be a really good leader in salesman to 1489 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,719 Speaker 1: sell it. And I think they got a head coach 1490 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,559 Speaker 1: just pulled it off. And so I don't think they're done. 1491 01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,320 Speaker 1: I think their defense is legit. We we played them, 1492 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,640 Speaker 1: you know, we were. We were on a bit of 1493 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:55,720 Speaker 1: a role we wanted on the road there and I 1494 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,479 Speaker 1: thought we played one of our better games. Also, Um 1495 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 1: so I think this works out. If they get to 1496 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs with him as a rookie, Wow, that's a 1497 01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 1: win win with all their draft pick coming up. All right, here, 1498 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,320 Speaker 1: here's the big one for you, Paula Antonio Brown. He 1499 01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: is suiting up or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. 1500 01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:18,160 Speaker 1: What do you expect out of this guy? A lot? 1501 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:23,519 Speaker 1: I want to say nothing, but um well, he's such 1502 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: a gifted talent, you guys, Even at his age, he's 1503 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:30,439 Speaker 1: a hard worker, you know, for can exclude any off 1504 01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: field pieces to just what is he as a football player? 1505 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,120 Speaker 1: Unbelievable And here's why I think he's gonna be phenomenal. 1506 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's never had a guy like him, He's never 1507 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:48,640 Speaker 1: had a guy like Yeah, but Randy, Okay, good comparison, 1508 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: you know what, really good comparison in their thirties. Um, 1509 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: you're right, Randy came on deep threat. Different player because 1510 01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna have more of an intermediate route guy who 1511 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:03,200 Speaker 1: can take a slant for a touchdown versus Randy, who's 1512 01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,640 Speaker 1: a go guy. Yeah. Really good point on that. But 1513 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:11,200 Speaker 1: he's never had a Mike Evans and Antonio Brown a 1514 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:17,439 Speaker 1: Godwin two phenomenal tight ends protection. I'm like, wow, you 1515 01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 1: know so I think a B is gonna be Is 1516 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 1: he gonna get ten cats of the game now, because 1517 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna spread it around, They're still gonna run it, 1518 01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna try and win the football game. But it 1519 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 1: just goes to show you again, why is New England 1520 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:33,519 Speaker 1: struggling so much? They don't have players? Why is all sudden? 1521 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:37,880 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay this team that is a concern for the Seahawks. 1522 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: They got a pretty good defense inconsistent right now, but 1523 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: my goodness, offensively with Tom Brady, who knows Zachly where 1524 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: to go to football is gonna put it in the 1525 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:51,720 Speaker 1: right pocket. Antonio Brown is gonna kill it. Even if 1526 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown doesn't get the football, he is going to 1527 01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 1: stretch out the deep. Absolutely. I mean, these guys are 1528 01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,679 Speaker 1: gonna work together. Godwin's working for Evans, Evans working for Brown, 1529 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,160 Speaker 1: Brown's working for Godwin. Gronk is gonna do all the 1530 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:06,720 Speaker 1: dirty work. Goodness, Grace, and then you still have Fortnit. 1531 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,960 Speaker 1: You got Roe Jones back. I forgot about this. You 1532 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,920 Speaker 1: have a defense who plays well at come after you. 1533 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 1: This is the team to look after. This is why 1534 01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: a sixteen games playoff team is horrible. We need them 1535 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 1: to play in the wildcard round getting knocked off and 1536 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:27,759 Speaker 1: all those teams getting done and then we come and play. 1537 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,719 Speaker 1: They're they're actually the NFC. There are no patches, all right, Well, 1538 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 1: getting to sign to wrap it up, man, just that segment, 1539 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 1: that segment is awesome. We still gotta close to go. 1540 01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,400 Speaker 1: We gotta close it up right. We'll cover up next 1541 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 1: me Michael bumpas my guy, Paul Mary. We will give 1542 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: you our final thoughts right here on Hawks Live, Hawks 1543 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,519 Speaker 1: Slive every Thursday from seven to nine, live on air 1544 01:16:50,640 --> 01:17:00,679 Speaker 1: on seven ten ESPN set Yes Yes, Yes, Michael bumpas 1545 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: espnside every Thursday at seven. We're wrapping this thing up, Paul, 1546 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 1: and these guys bounce back. They beat the forty nine 1547 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,599 Speaker 1: as they do what they're supposed to do. Now they're 1548 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:14,599 Speaker 1: going east to play a football team that is dangerous. 1549 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 1: I want the twelves to realize they have weapons on 1550 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 1: offense that are going to challenge this defense. But the 1551 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,640 Speaker 1: defense isn't what we saw in twenty nineteen. So that 1552 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,720 Speaker 1: is what is keeping us optimistic. I think we're optimistic 1553 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 1: regardless because this offense is going to put up thirty 1554 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 1: five points. But talk about this offense, Paul, what are 1555 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 1: you seeing? Well, I think you know offensive line. Are 1556 01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:42,519 Speaker 1: you talking about Buffalo Buffalos. Oh yeah, they're unconventional a 1557 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,919 Speaker 1: lot like ours, rely on their quarterback to make plays. 1558 01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 1: And look, Josh Allen, he guys, it's I mentioned this earlier. 1559 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 1: It's it's similar to being in the Northwest where people 1560 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,759 Speaker 1: don't really recognize you. Look how long it's taken Russell 1561 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: Wilson to get to kind of love and respected that 1562 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 1: he deserves and has warranted. Josh allen Is is a 1563 01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 1: really good quarterback. You know, he's young, he's still you know, 1564 01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,200 Speaker 1: he's not He doesn't make the decisions quite like Russ 1565 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,559 Speaker 1: William or Russell Wilson does. But man, his arm, strength, 1566 01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 1: his athleticism, he can run the ball. It's it's gonna 1567 01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,439 Speaker 1: be a battle for us, you know. And they got 1568 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,559 Speaker 1: weapons all over the place, that wide receiver, running back, 1569 01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 1: they're deep. It's it's a really good football team. We're 1570 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:29,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to score thirty plus. I believe that that's 1571 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: every game right to score well plus. It helps, it helps. 1572 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean when we scored thirty plus, we were not undefeated. Um, 1573 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 1: but we haven't lost in regulation yet. We have not 1574 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,519 Speaker 1: been behind you. You know what. I love your outlook 1575 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: on life. Haven't lost. I mean, think about that, Think 1576 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 1: about that. I mean, it just shows the one thing 1577 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:57,400 Speaker 1: about the Seahawks. I was thinking about Tampa Bay. What's 1578 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 1: the difference. We're consistent. You know we're gonna get I mean, 1579 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 1: we need not be pretty on defense, but you know 1580 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,559 Speaker 1: what we're gonna get. We're gonna give up some yards 1581 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 1: and some points, probably in the fourth quarter. We're gonna 1582 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 1: play it pretty tight to the vests the first three quarters, 1583 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 1: probably gonna get a double digit lead because our offense 1584 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 1: is so explosive and we're having a quarterback who's playing 1585 01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 1: maybe the greatest year in history of quarterbacks. And some 1586 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 1: people say, what I'm like, Go watch him play the 1587 01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 1: touchdown that we had last week when he stepped up 1588 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 1: in the pocket and hit David Moore on the cross 1589 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:34,439 Speaker 1: from route. Just go watch it, replay it over and over, 1590 01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:38,000 Speaker 1: and I want you to think, and how fast things 1591 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,760 Speaker 1: are coming. What would you have done? What would you 1592 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,000 Speaker 1: have done? Or you would have or maybe you wouldn't 1593 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 1: even have stepped up in the pope, Maybe you would 1594 01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 1: have just gotten blindside. Maybe you would have just said, 1595 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, if you weren't running out, because 1596 01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 1: Russell wasn't running he was, but he got he in 1597 01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:04,599 Speaker 1: the legs, he's airborne and he flicks the ball to 1598 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: more It's it's such an amazing throw. And there's more 1599 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: of those in the game. You know. It goes back 1600 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 1: to the most difficult catch, high least probability catch in 1601 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,880 Speaker 1: the NFL this year. It was early in the year 1602 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 1: when he threw the one in the sideline against Cowboys 1603 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,400 Speaker 1: to believe to David Moore again, So Demo and Russell 1604 01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,000 Speaker 1: have this and love relationship. The year before, he threw 1605 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 1: one of the most unimprobable catches to Tyler Lockett in 1606 01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone again, which we saw 1607 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,880 Speaker 1: another one two weeks ago. Yeah, it's it's on and on. 1608 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:40,840 Speaker 1: So he's so phenomenal. You guys just so just enjoy 1609 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,960 Speaker 1: it because we'll never see this again in Seehawk history, 1610 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 1: never see it again.
