1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus at the ten yard lives second to eight 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: free wide receivers. Now in motion is Bumpas left to right, 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Julius Jones, a single setback Matt Pumpecks looking at the 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: goal line. He throws it into the end zone. Touchdown. 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 1: end zone our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppus and 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: place on this team powered by Seahawks dot Com. What's Up, twelves, 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: This is Hawk Talk Preview edition, Week fifteam. The Hawks 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: travel east to take on the Washington football team. But 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: let's check in with Nasa Choby with these injury updates. 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: Nexs pump. Well, it was definitely a mixed bag when 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: it comes to the injuries for the Seahawks at this 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: point in the week. So I'll start with the bad 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: side of things. Head coach Pete Carroll gave a not 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: so promising update on the status of second round pick 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Darryl Taylor. We're really running out of time, you know. 19 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Next week is really the last shot us to get 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: get a chance, and uh, you know he'll have to 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: jump out then and the treatment that he went through 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: does kind of culminate this week. We'll see how that 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: what that means. I don't mean to give you any 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: any hope at this point other than we just gotta 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: wait and see. But it's not too late, you know, 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: We're fortunately we might have some some more games to 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: play and if we're fortunate enough, and we'd love to 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: have him available starting right tackle. Brandon Shell, who worked 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: really hard to be available against the Jets last week, 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: tweaked his ankle once again and his status is most 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: likely not going to be known until game time. What 32 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: is Brandon Shell's the status? You're hoping he'll be able 33 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: to practice him play this week? I know you said 34 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: that on Monday, but yes, yes, that's really that's where 35 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: we are right now. And but like you know, these 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: are those I always kind of say the same thing. 37 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait till the end of the week 38 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: to see how he develops. I can't call it now. 39 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: We won't practice him today, and I'll end on a 40 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: positive note. Tight end Greg Olsen, who's injured on that 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Thursday night game back into November against the Cardinals is 42 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: way ahead of schedule. He's made an extraordinary recovery to 43 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: get to this right now. So we're gonna pass him 44 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: during a week and see what happens. See how he does. 45 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: Do you think it's possibility actually play this week? It's possible. Also, 46 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: don't forget to join us for the Huddle each and 47 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: every Thursday from noon to two, hosted by Jake and 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: Stacy along the Seahawks color analyst Dave Wyman. If you're 49 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: a chance to hear directly from Seahawks players as they 50 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: prepare you for Sunday in preview the game ahead with 51 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: the voice of the Seahawks Steve Rabel and our guy 52 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. All right, Bump, you know what time it is. 53 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: Who's next? Who's next? Who's next? Who's next? The Washington 54 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: football team is next. They are six and seven, first 55 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: place in the NFC eas you look at that record, 56 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: you say six and seven NFC East, nothing crazy. The 57 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: NFCAS has been the most successful division the last three 58 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: weeks in the NFL. So you cannot sleep on the division. 59 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: You can't sleep on these guys. Coming off four straight wins. 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: We played an NFC East team before coming off three 61 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: and four straight wins, and we see how that win 62 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: notable wins Steelers. They beat the Steelers, they beat the 63 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. They've beating the Cowboys twice, beating Cincinnati 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: and Billing. At one point of the season, nast they 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: lost five in a row, but this team has found 66 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: a way to bounce back even with all the quarterback 67 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: issues they have going on. Is it Kyle Allen is 68 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: a Dwayne Haskins? Is it Alex Smith? It's been Alex 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: Smith as a lay and he's been getting it done. 70 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Last week these guys meet the forty nine is twenty 71 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: three to fifteen, extending their win streak to four games. 72 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: This team is dangerous right now. You cannot sleep on 73 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: the Washington football team, no question about it. And you 74 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned it the last time. I don't think the 75 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: entire Seahawks team did this, but the last time most 76 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: people were like, hey, that's another NFC East team. They're 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: in first place, but who cares they have a losing record. 78 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: The Giants came into Looman Field and got the job done. 79 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: So knowing on in this organization can be taking these 80 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: guys lightly. Like you said, they've won four in a row. 81 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: And the thing about them, we'll get into it a 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: lot later, is their defense is a problem. And those 83 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: kind of leading the main storylines from that game against 84 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. First, you mentioned Alex Smith, So 85 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: he strained his calf, and that's the same leg that 86 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: he injured in twenty eighteen. You know famously how scary 87 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: that was. He almost died from it, came back. His 88 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: story's incredible, but he was pulled from the game from 89 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: muscle tightness cut. Coach Ron Rivera said it was out 90 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: of abundance of caution and he could have returned to 91 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: the game an emergency situation if need be. In that game, 92 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: he played okay, I mean he had fifty played fifty 93 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: percent of snaps when eight of nineteen for fifty seven 94 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: yards in a pick, probably his worst stat line since 95 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: he came back to the starting role. Former first round 96 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: pick Dwayne Haskins played the rest of the game. He 97 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: went seven to twelve or fifty two yards, no touchdowns, 98 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: no interceptions. So offensively they're not great, they got something, 99 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: they're okay, yeah, but bump this defense, man. This defense 100 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: is no joke. Defense is no joke. It starts with 101 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: that defensive line highlighted by Chase young and Monte swept. 102 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Chase young Man last game six tackles, two tackles for lost, 103 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: one sack, two passes offended, one forced fumble, and the 104 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: fumble returned for forty seven yard touched him. He checked 105 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: almost every box. He might have checked every box in 106 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: the defensive stats. She this guy is the truth. He 107 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how bigger he was. I looked him 108 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: up due to six to five, two hundred and fifty 109 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: pounds flying off the edge, really strong with his hands, 110 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and he's a great athlete. You gotta watch after this, dude. 111 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna get into the matchups a little bit later, okay, 112 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: But the forty nine ers they played against the forty 113 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: nine ers, Nick Mullins played, okay, twenty five to forty five, 114 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: two to sixty yards, one touchdown, one interception. I want 115 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: to show Nick Mullins a little bit of love, man, 116 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: because he might not be winning a bunch of ball games, 117 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: but for some reason, that forty nine ers offense runs 118 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: a bit smoother with him than it does with Jimmy. 119 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: At least that's the way it looks. I don't know 120 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: if the numbers look like but gotta show Nick Bollins 121 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: some love. But when you got that defensive line that 122 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: the Washington football team has, they're gonna make it tough 123 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: on anybody. Now. A bright spot for the forty nine 124 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: ers was Brandon Iu. The kid out of Arizona State 125 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: had ten receptions for one hundred and nineteen yards. Let's 126 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: look at this head to head matchup Nass Offensively, Hawks 127 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: got him. Hawks are six overall their thirty year rush 128 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: off and Hawks eleven third twenty four for twenty four 129 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: sorry pass offense, Hawks are seventh. They are twenty six 130 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: points per game. The Hawks are putting up thirty point 131 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: two that's third in the league, and the Washington football 132 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: team are put up twenty two point one that is 133 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: twenty fourth in the league. But less highlighted this defense, 134 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: this defense, it's a completely different story. And honestly, the 135 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: washingtontball team has one of the best defense is in 136 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: the National football no question about it. Total defense. There 137 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: number four, rush defense, they're number nine. Pass defense. There 138 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: number three in points per game. When we're given a 139 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: twenty one points game, that rings sixth. And the Seahawks 140 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: defense has improved greatly. The numbers don't really show it. 141 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: They're still thirty second in past defense. They're twenty seventh 142 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: in total defense, but that's up from thirty two. And 143 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: if you look at the last ten since week ten, 144 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: they're top ten defense. But just to give you some 145 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: for comparison's sake, how good Washington football teams defense has been. 146 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: They've allowed a thousand yards less than the Seahawks app 147 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: in totality this year a G ball, So I mean 148 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: they're doing a goodness gracious, they are doing it. Yeah, 149 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: this defense is ridiculous. You look on film. They got 150 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: guys everywhere the defense. The D line is the highlight, 151 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: but they got guys on every level who can make 152 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: a play. Now, let's dig in to the archives. The encyclopedias. 153 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: You don't know about none about that? What about no 154 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: your history? Now took us up? No your history. I 155 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: know a little bit about some encyclopedias. Now, Encyclopedia Britannica. 156 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: Going to the library. Check that thing out. Oh my goodness, 157 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: what a world we used to live in. All right? 158 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: Know your history series record? Washington leads the all time 159 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: series twelve to eight. They're twelve and five against the 160 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: Seahawks in the regular season, but they're owing three against 161 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: the Hawks in the playoffs, most notably when the Seahawks 162 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: came from behind win in the wild card playoffs during 163 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: the twenty twelve season, Russell's rookie year Seahawks a race 164 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: of fourteen oh lead, scoring twenty four and answered points, 165 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: given Russell Wilson his first playoff win and the Seahawks 166 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: first road playoff wins since the eighty So that broke 167 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: a huge streak. As you remember, that was back when 168 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: RG three was still really good quarterback. He heard his 169 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: name never really been the same and that was the 170 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: beginning of this run that the Seahawks had been on 171 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: for most of the last decade. Last meeting twenty seventeen, 172 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: Washington football team came to Century Linkfield at the time 173 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: now Loomanfield, beat the Seahawks seventeen to fourteen. Seahawks took 174 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: the lead with one minute, thirty four seconds to go 175 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: in the game with a thirty yard touchdown pass on 176 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin and he absolutely cooked Josh Norman to get 177 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: open for that. However, it wasn't enough, and Kirk Cousins 178 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: I said it. Kirk Cousins led Washington down the field 179 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: with two deep passes for the go ahead score for 180 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: a shocking upset in Seattle. I remember that game pretty 181 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: clearly because at that time it's in the Seahawks for 182 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: five and two, and that's when things really started to 183 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: spial for that team. Guys started getting hurt. And that 184 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: was the only time the Seahawks have not made the 185 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: playoffs under Russell Wilson. So hopefully we never get to 186 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: see that again. And it's different this time around as 187 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: we go to Washington East to play the Washington football team. 188 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: It's so weird saying that bumping. I'm working really hard 189 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: to keep saying Washington Football Team. I'm just trying to 190 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: drive it into existence. I'm forcing it. I gotta I 191 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: talk really slowly when I saved their name, because I 192 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: don't want to get fine no finees coming over here. 193 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: What's the word in the West? And the Seahawks are 194 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: the NFC West champs again? What's the word in the West? 195 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: On hot talk? What's the word? I shall tell you 196 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: what the word is. The Rams are nine and four, 197 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: Hawks are nine and four, Cardinals are seven to six, 198 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: and the nine Is are five and eight. Now, the 199 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Hawks didn't make up any grounds in the standings in 200 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: Week thirteen, but they did keep pace with the Rams. 201 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: Rams won their game. They're nine and four, sol did 202 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Right now, they are the fifth seed in 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. If they were to play to day, they 204 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: will play the Washington football team. Now this game, when 205 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: you think about this game, nast playing against the Washington 206 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: football team, It'll be nice to get a win. You 207 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: want to get a win, but it will not determine 208 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: if the Hawks win the NFC West. But that doesn't 209 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: mean you don't want to get this w You want 210 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: to go back East and play well against a football 211 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: team who has one of the best defenses in the league. 212 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a nice Lott test for the 213 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: Seahawks to see have they really corrected things on offense, 214 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: No question about it. This is like a mitch right 215 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: before your final exam. Essentially, because you got the Rams, 216 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: that's going to decide the NFC West in where the 217 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: Seahawks are ultimately seated. But like you said, it doesn't 218 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: have an impact this weekending. It's a football tea Washington 219 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: football team. But it's gonna be good to kind of 220 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: give us a measuring stick on our offense to kind 221 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: of see where we're at now. The Seahawks still do 222 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: have an outside shot that's the number one seed in 223 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs. However, that's going to require some help. They'd 224 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: have to win out and hope the Saints and Packers 225 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: not only lose a game, but they need to lose 226 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: a game against NFC opponents, so the Seahaws and climb 227 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: back and the tiebreaker. Unfortunately, that loss to the Giants 228 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: really hurt the Seahawks because it's another division or conference loss. 229 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: So that's still on the table. We'll kind of wait 230 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: and see how things play out. Obviously, number one seed 231 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: would be great, but Seahats just got to take care 232 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: of who's on their schedule first. Speaking of we'll talk 233 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: about the Rams. The Rams beat the Patriots last week 234 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football twenty four to three, and man, bum, 235 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: we saw some history. Man. The Rams officially ended the 236 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: most successful run we've seen an NFL team have. The 237 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: Patriots will not win the AFC East for the first 238 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: time since two thousand and seven when Tom Brady towards 239 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: ACL missed that whole year. Thirteen years has been these 240 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: dudes has hang up banners they get. The Patriots used 241 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: to get the banners pre made before the seat and 242 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: starts say look this hold on it is, we'll hang 243 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: it up later. It's nice to see some change. It's 244 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: nice to see. I'm glad the Bills are doing their 245 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: thing out. I'm upset that they beat them, the Seahawks, 246 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: but it's nicely the Bills doing their theme, the Mammy 247 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins doing their thing. We all know about those Jets. 248 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: They're not doing anything at all in that division. But 249 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: you mentioned two thousand and seven when when Tom Brady 250 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: towards acl That's why you can't tackle quarterbacks a low anymore, 251 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: because old Tommy boy got tackle all. I believe it 252 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: was against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he tore his stuff. Now, 253 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: Jared Golf was pretty average as usual. I feel like 254 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: we say this every week once or twice a year. 255 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: He might have a game where he blows stuff up, 256 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: but pretty average. Sixteen to twenty five, one hundred thirty 257 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: seven yards, one touchdown, one interception. But man, the Rams 258 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: might have found they're running back. Acres went Cam is 259 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: a kid out of Florida State. One hundred and seventy 260 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: one yards on twenty nine carries almost six yards per carry. 261 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: They got something going in that backfield. Oh yeah, Acres 262 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: are scary. Man, They're kind of even running back by committee. 263 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: That about three guys going, Henderson and the other kid. 264 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: But Acres has jumped out in front and showing you 265 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: exactly who he is. And man, oh he's gonna be 266 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: a problem. And he knew else is a problem. Aaron 267 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: Donald Man and that Rams defense man Loud just three points, 268 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: had to pick six at six sacks week sixteen. The 269 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 1: Seahawks not only are gonna have to work cut out 270 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: for him, just because the Rams, no matter who is coaching, 271 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: who was on the roster, plays the Seahawk team very tough, 272 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: and we saw what happened the first time they played. 273 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a huge game. Everything's gonna be on 274 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: the line. It's essentially gonna decide the NFC West. So 275 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: definitely can't wait for that matchup because the Rams are 276 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: gonna come to play, and they are also a top 277 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: three defense, so it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. 278 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about the Cardinals. Man, they played 279 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: the Giants. I was hoping that Giants just made me 280 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: a believer and went out and played well against the Cardinals. 281 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: And I can tell people, see the Giants are legit. Nah. 282 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: They hadn't any Giants back and nothing happened. They scored 283 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: seven points. It was twenty six to seven. The Cardinals 284 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: got it done and they needed to win that game. 285 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: They're holding on to that number seven seed, and it 286 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: was a bit disappointing. I mean, I always like to 287 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: see a young man ball out. Colin Murray did okay, 288 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: twenty four, thirty five, twenty forty four yards, but I 289 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: just wanted them so bad to lose to the Giants, 290 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: So I can subjest find I'm still justifying the loss 291 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: of the Giants today, nast Like we're two weeks removing, 292 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: people are still asking me about this. I'm tired of 293 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: talking about it, Loki. The Cardinals let me down, or 294 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: excuse me. The Giants led me down last week, no 295 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: question about it. And here's the thing, too, man like. 296 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: The Cardinals actually kind of tried to give that game away. 297 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: They were they weren't playing well. They got short field 298 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: if they're short, fiel if their short field. They kept 299 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: kicking field goals. But they had one drive of more 300 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: than thirty four yards one drive all they had literally 301 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: had one drive all game. Everything else is set up 302 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: short field thirty four yards. So it sucks, But we're 303 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: not really worried about the Cardinals. Cardinals below us. We 304 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: beat them, they can't really do much help to us now, 305 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: But I should hold my tongue on that because week 306 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: seventeen they do play the Rams. So if for some 307 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: reason the Seahawks don't take care of business, we will 308 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: definitely be big Cardinals fans in week seventeen. But until then, 309 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: not worried about them. Not worried about them. All right, man, 310 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: let's get into these matchups. Let's man ups. Is this 311 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: miss this man up on Hawk Talk? All right? First 312 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: match up Washington football team's quarterback, so Alex Smith or 313 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins versus Seahawks defense. Now we kind of alluded 314 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: to it earlier. There's been a lot of movement in 315 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: the quarterback room for Washington. Haskins has opened the year 316 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: as a starter. You remember, he was a top overall pick, 317 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: not the number one overall pick, but a top draft 318 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago. Open the year as 319 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: a starter, and he started the first the team's first 320 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: four games. Kyle Allen replaced him in Week five because 321 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: of his poor play. He started the next four games, 322 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: then he broke his ankle. Then Alex Smith got the 323 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: start against the Lions in Week ten and has led 324 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: them to a four and run record since man. Alex Smith, 325 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: that story is one of the best things I've seen 326 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: in my life when it comes to overcoming adversity coming 327 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: back from a devastating injury. I mean, they're talking about 328 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: his injury was so bad, they're comparing it to what 329 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: happens when guys come back from war. So that's all 330 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: you need to know about the toughness of that dude. 331 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: Definitely gonna be a shooing for Comeback Player of the Year. 332 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Lucky to be alive, let alone playing starting in the 333 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: National Football League. His status is uncertain for Sunday, dealing 334 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: with that cap strain, so probably gonna way up until 335 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: game time at least's see if he can make the start. 336 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: If Alex Smith doesn't make the start, Dwayne Haskins will 337 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: step back into that role, and it's been a roller 338 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: coaster ride for him. He goes from the starting quarterback 339 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: to thirteen quarterback, potentially back in the lineup. So it's 340 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: been a carouself quarterbacks and both of them are solid pump. 341 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: But their offense doesn't do anything that scares me. No, 342 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: they don't man big us to Alex Smith mental toughness, 343 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: I would have tapped out and say I'm done. I 344 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: made it enough money. I'm just gonna chill my faan. 345 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: He wants to get back in the game. He's lat them, 346 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: like he said, to a four one record since he's 347 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: been playing. But this offense, they still ranked thirtieth overall. 348 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: There's still twenty fourth when it comes around the ball. 349 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: There's still twenty six when it comes to throwing the rock. 350 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: They're still twenty fourth when it comes up putting up points. 351 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: So they are or they are a great story with 352 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: Alex Smith. If he plays, we'll see what he does. 353 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: If Dwayne Haskins plays, then I'll just expect two or 354 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: three turnovers off top quarterback situation ain't right over there. 355 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: Alex Smith will get comeback player of the Year. Great story. 356 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: They will rely heavily on their defense. Next match of 357 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson versus Washington defense, Russell Stone for thirty six 358 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns twelve in exceptions, carried the rock sixty nine times 359 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: for four into twenty three yards one touchdown. He broke 360 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: his own franchise record for passing touchdowns this season, where 361 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: thirty six, and still has three games to go. He's 362 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: the only QB in NFL history with a winning record 363 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: in each of his first nine season. Needs four more 364 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns to pass Damn Mariam for second place for the 365 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns in his first nine years. Were two 366 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven. Stats on stats on stats, Records 367 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: on records on records. That's what Russell Wilson does. And 368 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: this week is gonna be tough, and ain't gonna be 369 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: an easy four touchdowns. Everybody's gonna get involved. Shotty and 370 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: Russ gotta be on the same page this week because 371 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: everyone talks about this Washington football d line, but they 372 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: got some guys in the secondary who can get it done. 373 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah you mentioned. I mean they're third and pass defense 374 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: allowing just two hundred and six yards a game, and 375 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, they've allowed a thousand, yes yards, 376 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: thousand less yards in the Seahawks defense. It's gonna be hard, 377 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be incredibly challenging, and the thing is is. 378 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see how they play us. Their 379 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: D line gets after the quarterback right, so I wonder 380 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: if if they're gonna be really aggressive in the second day, 381 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: if they feel like Russell's gonna be getting the ball 382 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: out quick. Are they gonna be playing press man stuff. 383 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Are they gonna be playing some cover? So it'd be 384 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: really interesting to see what they drop against US. But Russell, Wilson, 385 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: and Shotty are definitely gonna have to have their best 386 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: offensive game plan they've had in a long time because 387 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: they will be tested heavily on Sunday. They will be 388 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: tested by this Washington defensive line verse the Seahawks offensive line. 389 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: This defense is great because the men with their hand 390 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: and the dirt is Chase Young, as Monte Sweat, as 391 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen. It's pain. They might be the most talented 392 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: D line in the NFL, and they got a bunch 393 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: of first round picks, so that means they've been really 394 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: bad for a while and now they're starting to read 395 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: the benefits. Kind of reminds me of the forty nine ers. 396 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: They're drafted, all those defensive linemen in the years where 397 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: they were down. It all starts with a big man 398 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: off front and Chase young Man as good as advertise. 399 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: Thirty five tech, five and a half sex, nine tackles 400 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: for lass, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, 401 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: one touchdown. I mean, the kid is doing it all 402 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: in his very first year. These paratable montests sweat thirty 403 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: seven tackles, seven tacks, twelve for loss, five passes defended, 404 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: one intercession, two force fumble. He got a touchdown too. 405 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: You got defensive lineman score touching him. That defense last 406 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: week scored two touchdowns against the forty nine ers and 407 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: took some pressure off of that offense. I don't expect 408 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: them to score touchdowns this week, but there are some 409 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: other guys who can contribute as well. Look, I mean, 410 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: it just doesn't stop Jonathan now and forty eight tackles, 411 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: two sacks, three tackles for lost, one force fumble, paying 412 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: forty seven tackles, two sacks, seven tackles for loss, three 413 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: pass defended, three force fumbles, one fumble recovery. I'm looking 414 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: at these numbers and I'm like, am I looking at linebackers? Honestly, 415 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: that's the first thing that jumped out. I'm like, Yeah, 416 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: these dudes all have over thirty five tackles. They're active, 417 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: they're getting sacks. Look at these TFLs twelve seven, three, 418 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: nine and a half. They're getting their hands up, defending passes, 419 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: getting picks, forcing fumble. I mean statistically, I mean, this 420 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: just jumps off the page. They are they have to 421 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: be the statistically the best defensive line in the NFL. 422 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: And it looks that way on film. We see the numbers. 423 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: The paper says, Okay, these guys are good. You watched 424 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: him on film and you look at what some offensive lines. 425 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're They'll they'll get you with everything. 426 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: They'll get you with a power rush, They'll get you 427 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: with some nice moves and spins. And then Chase young Man, 428 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: he did his old boy at Joe Burrow rough when 429 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: they played before Joe Burrow got hurt. Used to be 430 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: former teammates at Ohio State. I mean, his quickness off 431 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: the edge just jumps off the sheet. So it's gonna 432 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: be really it's gonna be tough for our offensive line. 433 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: And I think we got to really pay attention to 434 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: throughout this week. Is is right tackle Brandon Shells kind 435 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: of reverted back to what he was like when he 436 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: got hurt initially against the Cardinals, he left the game 437 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: came back out with a boot, So hopefully, you know, 438 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll seemed optimistic that he could come back this week. 439 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: If not, hopefully, hopefully Cedric a boy Hay who was 440 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: out last last couple of weeks is can come back 441 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: and be available on Sunday if need be. If not, 442 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: it'll be Chad Wheeler. And if it's Chat Wheeler, he's 443 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: done okay in the times he stepped in, but he's 444 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: definitely gonna have his work cutout for him. So I 445 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: don't know if in the game plan you have Will Disley, 446 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister, Kobe Parkinson, running backs, chipping all that stuff 447 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: to give some help to these guys up front. And 448 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: I want to see what type of game shout out 449 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: of Hammer makes this, because if he wants to go 450 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: double tipe packet him, then they'll rull out that fifty front. 451 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: They got another guy on the bench ready to go. 452 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: They'll roll out that that five front and really challenge 453 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: this offensive line. They ran a fifty front a lot 454 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers and got a lot of push. 455 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: So what type of game is this gonna be Are 456 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: they gonna come packted? Are they gonna spread it out? 457 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: We shall see what happens, all right. The next matchup 458 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and Logan Thomas versus Seahawks secondary. Now, Terry 459 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: has seventy three receptions one thousand yards, three touchdowns this 460 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: second year in the league, and he is a rising 461 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say superstar, but a rising star in this league. 462 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: This kid can play. He's got great rosse, has good hands. 463 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: He has a long reception of sixty eight yards this 464 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: year for a touchdown. Dude can play. And he's backed 465 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: up by Thomas forty nine receptions, four hundred and sixty 466 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: nine yards, five touchdowns. But they still need a quarterback 467 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: to throw them the ball. That's the thing. Receivers, you 468 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: can't do it by yourself. You're depending on a lot 469 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: of things to go right. If Dwayne Haskins is in 470 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: this in this game, I think it gives this defense, 471 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: Seahawks defense, and even better chance to put together another 472 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: good performance. Yeah, man, I think Terry and Thomas those 473 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: are good weapons. I think McLaurin, I think we haven't 474 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: heard of him very much in the national spotlight. I 475 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: think the first time I kind of start to pay 476 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: attention to him is when they played the Steelers on 477 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: like that weird Wednesday afternoon, so there's more eyeballs on 478 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: the set, so they got some dudes over there. But 479 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, it comes down and who's thrown them 480 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: the ball? I think Alex Smith. I hate to say, 481 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to use the word game manager because 482 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: I hate that word. But the way he operates a 483 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: football game. He doesn't have a big power arm. He's 484 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: not gonna kill you with fifty yard passes going over 485 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: the top all day long. He's gonna use his checkdowns. 486 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: He's gonna take what the defense has given him. And 487 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: he's eight at that, especially later in his career post injury. 488 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: He put up some decent numbers his last year in 489 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco and with the Chiefs before Mahomes. But if 490 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: he's in the game, I'm not as worried about things 491 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: down the field. I worry about the kind of the 492 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: short game stuff, Like I said, Thomas running routes underneath. 493 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: But if it t Askins, I do feel like the 494 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks can create a lot of turnovers for that, and 495 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: then that leads into our last matchup Washington running backs 496 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: versus Seahawks front seven. So Antonio Gibson, he's a sneaky, 497 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: good dude. Man. He's got one hundred and forty one 498 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: carries for six hundred and fifty nine yards, eleven touchdowns, 499 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: which kind of jumps off. He's getting four point seven 500 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: yards a carry, and of course gotta love him. Former 501 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: Seahawk JD McKissick JD my Man sixty six carries, two 502 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards, one touchdown and also super 503 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: active in the past game fifty eight reception for four 504 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six yards. And I'll say this about 505 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: JD mckissic. He was such a good dude in this 506 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: locker room. And I feel like he's finally being used 507 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: the way he should have been being used here. But 508 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: you remember a lot when most of the time he 509 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: was here, we were struggling up front on the offensive line. 510 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: H j D mckissic in twenty seventeen scored the Seahawks 511 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: last rushing touchdown by running back and that happened in 512 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: Week four. Yeah, So, like you know, JD mkissic gonna 513 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: scramble against the colt. So like he's finally being used 514 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: as kind of like that scap back that he's he'll 515 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: run between the tackles when he has to, but he's 516 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: the guy that gets out to the edge and superactive 517 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: in the past game. So the Seahawks, definitely, I think 518 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: we'll see a huge step up from what they saw 519 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: last week at that position. Yes, they will big ups. 520 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: JD do your thing, just not against us this weekend. 521 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: Least half to victory at the forty five, waits for 522 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: the staff. Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick is away. 523 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: If that kick is gone, it's gone. It's a pass 524 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: to victory on Hawk Talk, all right, pat to victory. 525 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: You gotta protect Russell Wilson. The ball needs to get 526 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: out of his hands fast, and this office and line 527 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: needs to protect against the probably the best D line 528 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Last week, Russ wasn't sacked one time. 529 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: It'd be nice if that happened this week. I don't. 530 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: I think something's gonna happen. He'll might get sacked once 531 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: or twice. I'll take Once you start getting a three full, five, six, 532 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: that's where you get in trouble. But you cannot deny 533 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: the talent on these defensive line. So you gotta keep 534 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Russell up and he needs to get the ball out 535 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: of his hands quickly. Yeah, for sure. And you know 536 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: a great way to keep Russell up right, it's Chris Carson. 537 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: You need a steady died if Chris Carson, I've been 538 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: pounding this into the ground. He needs twenty touches a game, 539 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: whether that's through the run in the past, he needs 540 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: to be active, screen game all that. One of the 541 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: best ways to slow down a great rush pass rush 542 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: is running the football to see I said a great 543 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: job last Sunday. We're gonna need another repaint performance this 544 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: week and they need to start fast. Do not be 545 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: the Seahawks that I was on the two thousand and 546 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. We needs to go back east 547 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 1: and just gets smacked in the morning. No, start fast, 548 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: be who you are. We went back east against the Bills, 549 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: started slow, big kick returns, Josh Allen looking like an MVP. 550 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the basics. I don't know what 551 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: you gotta do, what your your sleep is like, what 552 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: your routine is live, But Pete, get those guys there 553 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: early and let's take care of them. Yeah, no question. 554 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: The thing about it. The weird thing about the Bills 555 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: game is they got so good at ten am starts. 556 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: They got so good and they won like ten in 557 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: a row. So it was so weird to see for 558 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: the first time in a long time them just not 559 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: look like they were ready to go. They looked flat. 560 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: It was. It was a tough look against the Bills. 561 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: So we got to get away from that, and man, 562 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: we need other strong performance from this defense man. Whoever's 563 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: playing quarterback is prone to turning the ball over, okay, 564 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: Alex Smith, I think gives them a better chance to win. 565 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: But if Hassan's in there, we just need to take 566 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: the ball away. We've been playing so good defensively over 567 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: the last month. The one thing we're not doing great 568 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: is taking the ball away. Quandre Diggs is really excelling 569 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: in that and that's that category right now. But as 570 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: a unit, we need to do more. We need to 571 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: take the ball away. They got some ballers, but they 572 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: don't score points. We need. We need to take the 573 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: ball away and keep it that way. Ten and four. 574 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: Ten and four is what you need to do. I 575 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: know this game doesn't mean much when it comes to 576 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: the but you might have a chance green Bay still 577 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: has to play the Titans, the Saints still have to 578 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: play the Cheese, and anything can happen. You take care 579 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: business here. You put yourself in good position to at 580 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: least fight for that number one spot, no question about it. 581 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: Reminder everybody, you can hear us everywhere Seahawks dot Com, 582 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: Apple Podcast, Spotify, Stitcher and much more, and also KIRA 583 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: Radio and seventen ESPN Seattles.
