1 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to Hawkslive every Thursday at seven pm right here 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: on seven ten ESPN Seattle on Michael Bump is here 3 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: with Paul Moyer. If you are a true Hawks fan 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: and you didn't know the hawkslaus twenty six to seventeen 5 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: last Thursday, I forgive you. Okay, it's all right. We 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: don't want to remember that, but we have to go 7 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: through what happened. Moyer and my initial reactions to that 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: loss was first half, second half, and it sounds pretty familiar. 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: The first half, the Hawks goings to halftime up seven 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: to three. The second half they're outscored twenty three to ten, 11 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: and in all of that madness, they happen to lose 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: the most important player on their football team, Russell Wilson. 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: He's out for three to six weeks, first injury he's 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: ever had in his career as a football player, which 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: is pretty amazing in itself. Thoughts on the Rams game 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: and then we'll move forward. Well, I thought first half, defensively, 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: we did some nice thing. You know, you go back 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: and watch the video. You know, Rams probably missed on 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: a few things that they saw, and they got us 20 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: in the second half, particularly going after our defense with 21 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: with a zone route concept that it's tough, the Seahawks 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: will adjust to it. I saw it a bunch over 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: the weekend, So I thought we played hard. I liked 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: what we did offensively, you know when we when we 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: had the lead. But yeah, obviously you lose Russell, that's tough. 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Geno Smith comes in. That was a great drive. We'll 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: talk obviously more about him. I'm excited that, you know, 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: for an older guy, still got great legs, and that's 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna be important moving forward. So ram game was competitive. 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: I look at that game and you know, again I 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: was reading a bunch of the tweets and the negativity 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: and the only negativity. Honestly, it came down to five plays, 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: five maybe three. And I'm gonna really emphasize this too. 34 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: When you play a great team, your best players have 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: to shine. And so I'm gonna go with our three 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: or four of our highest paid players, Okay Russell Wilson, 37 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams and Bobby Wagner, Dwayne Brown. In that game, 38 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: there were four or five plays that were huge in 39 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: that game. And if they play the way they're capable 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: and make the plays, we're in great shape. And I 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: only give a couple examp. First example was third down 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: and we got to cover two on the rams. We've 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: got the lead, We're gonna get off the field cover two. 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Perfect call in that situation. They read it wrong. They 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: throw into coverage where Jamal is in perfect shape, and 46 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: for whatever reason Paul Jamal doesn't adjust to that passion 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: at worst, knockdown interception. No chance that that should have 48 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: ever been called. Talking about that long throw, yes, yeah, 49 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: and that was It was a third down play. So 50 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: there's two things going on there. So why is that? 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: And so that's a big play. Our best players have 52 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: to make those plays. Those are give me plays. Not 53 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: only did we not get off the field, they make 54 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: the play go down and score. I'm gonna throw another 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: one Russell Wilson, and people give me a little heat 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: on this one. The play he hurts his finger on. 57 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: We run a double move, a stutter go with Lockett. 58 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful play. He's opened by twenty yards, maybe fifteen. 59 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating. Russell gets some pressure, but he's open. Russell 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: can make that throw. He overthrows him in that situation, 61 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, to magnify that issue. You know, he hurts 62 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: his finger and he's out for six weeks. Third one, 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I'll stop it at this. We get a touchdown again, 64 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown gets called for holding. Plake comes back. Not 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: only do we not Scar, I think we miss a 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: field goal. So those three plays are worth well, there's 67 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: fourteen that's twenty one points. Really that end up costing 68 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: to see three plays. Those are your three best players. 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: And there's some you know, there's a couple of plays 70 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: again where Bobby wagon Wag expect him on these long 71 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: situations too, to play better than those two. So not 72 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: that anybody even played that poorly. Everybody's nitpick and I go, 73 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's three or four plays that are 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: it's a twenty one point difference on that and you 75 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: end up winning that thing. And even with all that, 76 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: we got the ball with two minutes left, had a 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: chance down six. So I'm not that discouraged. I was disappointed. 78 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: We lose our best player. We don't have Chris Carson. 79 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: Did we have Chris Now? We didn't have Chris Carson? Right, 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, defensively we got we talked off there a bunch. 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: We just got to get tighter in understanding pattern reads. 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: And I gave you a really good example of one, 83 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: if they can learn these little subtleties instead of them 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: being big plays down field, their interceptions or they have 85 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: to pull the ball down and dump it off. And 86 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: part of it is getting to know each other. It's 87 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: still so let me ask you, so as a coach, 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: you've coached in the league, right when as a coach, 89 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: do you look at your coach and staff and you 90 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: look at your players? You go, guys, this is just 91 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: who we are. I don't know if we can get 92 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: these things right or is it just a constant battle 93 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: every single week, just try to tweak a thing here 94 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: or there and hopefully eventually they figured out, because at 95 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: some point, if it doesn't get figured out, the season 96 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: is just gone. And we're not at the point right 97 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: now where the season is gone. Now we're what twenty 98 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: eight percent through the season or whatever it is, with 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: the extra game now. Um, so two things to that. Look. 100 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Some of it is I may just have a really 101 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: special player. I'm looking at Jamal Adams. We got to 102 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: stop playing Jamal Adams as a traditional safety. He's not 103 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: a cover too safety. He's in the box safety. You've 104 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: got to adapt whatever it is it may be pulling 105 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner off on third down and putting him in 106 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: for blitzes and things like that, because I really believe 107 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: you need to have Marquis Blair back is another safety. 108 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: You got two digs in him and then have a 109 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: Nickel and then Jamal Adams, you know, or you gotta 110 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: put Jamal more than Nickels situation, which that didn't work 111 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: because you know he's not going to man up all 112 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: day on the slot. So that that's one. So somebody 113 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: has a special skill that maybe you go, Okay, that's 114 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: not his strength. I don't know if that's going to improve, 115 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: then then I just got to live with some things, right. 116 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: The other one, though, is the offenses now are so complex, right, 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: multiple formations, lots of different you know, I'm a gun, 118 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm under center, I got all these different play actions, boots, 119 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: I've you know, I've got RPOs. If you saw a 120 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: bunch or at least a few times with the ROM. 121 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on there. Man, There's just not 122 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: enough reps. So some people it's like, well, do you 123 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: get more complex on defense? Do you get less that? 124 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: You know? Is it too simple? So I think it's 125 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: it's one of those where I'm looking with the Seahawks, 126 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: is are we getting a little better every week? And 127 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: I think we are. I thought we played better last week. 128 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: It's just they hit us on these four five plays 129 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: in a row with the same route and we just 130 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: really weren't adjusting to it. Maybe it's passed right. It's 131 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: really everything with defense. I could look at that, which 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I did the video and go, okay, we're gonna be okay. 133 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: I feel better now than I did two weeks ago. 134 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: Let's get so you think we're gonna be okay? Which 135 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: is which is good? Twelve? You guys heard it here 136 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: first Paul Moyer tells you it's gonna be okay, but 137 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: you lose number three. Now Genos maybe comes in. He 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: put together a great drive ten plays ninety eight yards, 139 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: finishes with a twenty three yard touchdown to DK Matcalf. 140 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: Will Dissie Gown involved. He was five for seven seventy 141 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: seven yards one touchdown during that drive. This guy in 142 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: his career has thirty touchdowns. He's throwing thirty touchdowns, thirty 143 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: seven interceptions seven and rushing touchdowns. What did you see 144 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: out of Gino that will back up what you said defensively? 145 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna be all right offensively? Are these guys gonna 146 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: be all right? Yeah? I think offensively we will be fine. 147 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: Now it's easier to say after somebody comes in the 148 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: middle of a game and executes on the game plan 149 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: when he's not being game planned against. That. We've talked 150 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: about that forever. We'll see how this week is. He's 151 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: gonna get a ton of blitz. That's what Pittsburgh does. 152 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, blitz is both good and bad. Is an 153 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in the quarterback the one nice thing is 154 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: blitz and man to man, I know who I'm throwing 155 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: too usually, but now I've got pressure. You know, there's 156 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot that goes with that. If Chris 157 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Carson plays, I'm feeling a little better. We'll see where 158 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: that goes, because I boot do believe we can't put 159 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: as much pressure on him as we do with Russell. 160 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: We got to run the football. I think we're gonna 161 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: be Offensively, we're gonna be great. And again, if we 162 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: need him for eight games, you know game plans. I mean, 163 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: you're looking you're losing one of the greatest quarterbacks in 164 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, and Russell Wilson but Gina 165 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: looked good, he looked mobile, he was accurate, he ran 166 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: the offense. That last interception wasn't his fault, though I 167 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,479 Speaker 1: wish he had it dumped it off on the sideline 168 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: to I think it was Travis Homer because he was 169 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: about seven yards downfield, knowing on him. I think we're 170 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I think it really comes back more 171 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: they'll bump. Is our defense dominant enough or good enough 172 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: right now to give Geno on the offense a chance 173 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: to just take a fraction of a step. I think 174 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: that's key. The defense has to carry the offense, at 175 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: least to start or at some point during the game. 176 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, okay, defense maker player two and 177 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: get these guys going. They're going up aginst the Pittsburgh Steelers, 178 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: who we know Ben Roethlisberger is not the most mobile quarterback, 179 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: is now throwing the ball down the field like he 180 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: used to do it. They do have weapons in Chase Claypool. 181 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: We also have Deontay Johnson the other side. Nagie Harris 182 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: is coming off his best game as a rookie, so 183 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: they will be challenged. They've won once in Pittsburgh in 184 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. The last time they won was 185 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. That's whim been started to feel like an 186 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: old man. He hurt his elbow against the Seahawks and 187 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: didn't come back. But I'm with you. I think there's 188 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: enough to go into this game optimistic. Even though Geno's 189 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be at the quarterback spot. They might change 190 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: the offense a little bit, but not too much. And 191 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: you know what we're gonna ask Ray Fittipaul Dough from 192 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Post Gazette about that when we returned right 193 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: here on Hawks Lot. You're listening to Hawkslove every Thursday 194 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: right here on seven ten ESPN with me, Michael Bombas 195 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: and my guy Paul Moyer. Now we get to speak 196 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: to Ray faa Paul though from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Ray, 197 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Gonna be with you? How are you hey? 198 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: Nice to hear your voice again. We spoke to you 199 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: what two years ago in the pre and post game 200 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: show when the Hawks went down to Pittsburgh and some 201 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: familiarity going on, man, at least a little bit. We 202 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: have a quarterback who was injured in Russell Wilson last 203 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: time the Hawks went down there. Ben Roethlisberger was banged up. 204 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: What's the mood there in Pittsburgh. You guys are coming 205 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: off a win three losses prior to that, you beat 206 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. What's the vibe over there? Yeah, I 207 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: mean listen two and three right now. They're looking to 208 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: get to three and three before they get to their 209 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: buy next week. So um, you know, I think they 210 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: realized that the Seahawks are coming in here a little 211 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: bit banged up. You know, not only are they gonna 212 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: have to play without Russell William Wilson for the first 213 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: time in a decade, but they're they're coming in here 214 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: with a defense that's given up a lot of yards. 215 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: So you mentioned that they're coming off a nice win 216 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: against the Broncos. The offense, after a really rough start, 217 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: got on track. So I don't want to say that 218 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, the fans are thinking the Steelers turn the corner, 219 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: but I think they see a very real opportunity for 220 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: them to get back to five hundred at the buye 221 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: and considering the way the season started, you know, that 222 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: would be a positive development. Thanks for that, Ray. It 223 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: was the Denver Broncos and during that game, Nagy Harris 224 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: has the best game of his career so far. What 225 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: are you guys seeing out of Nazi? He's really good. 226 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a chance to be 227 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: even better when he gets an offensive line that is 228 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a little bit better than this one. You know, the 229 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: Steelers have four new starters up front. There's two rookies. 230 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: Rookie Kendrick Green is a starting center, and they're starting 231 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: a rookie, fourth round pick Damn Moore at less tackle. 232 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of youth, a lot of inexperience. 233 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: I thought they played their best game against the Bronco 234 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: You know, Broncos came to Pittsburgh with a top five defense. 235 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: I still think they're you know, they're they're a pretty 236 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: good defense. But you know, the running game finally got untracked, 237 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: and I think that was the entire key to this 238 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Steeler's offseason. They needed to take the pressure off Don Roethlisberger. Um, 239 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: you know, he's not a guy at age thirty nine 240 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: who can carry an offense anymore. But I think a 241 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: lot of people think that he could still be an 242 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: effective quarterback if he has a good running game. They 243 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: they finally got that last week and Nagy Harris was 244 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: a huge part of that. So I think this guy's 245 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: going to be a really, really good player for a 246 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: long time. And once this offensive lying in situation gets settled, 247 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: I think they're going to see that guy blossom. It 248 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: is weird to see Pittsburgh right now there ranked twenty 249 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: seventh in offense. I went to say thirty first, maybe 250 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: in rushing average. I mean, they because they've always had 251 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: such a good and David de Castro, you lose. I 252 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: coached him in high school, one of the great ones 253 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: of all time, just great, great people. But is it 254 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: the offensive line? Is that the biggest issue or is 255 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: it still you know, just been with father time. Yeah, 256 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: I would say offensive line first, and then Ben second. 257 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: You know Ben, when they were on that three game 258 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: losing streak, he was turning the ball over a little bit. 259 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: And when he turns the ball over, um, you know, 260 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: he just puts that defense in a bad situation. I mean, listen, 261 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: this Steelers defense statistically doesn't rank where it rank last year. Um, 262 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: but that's because they've been injured. You know, t J. 263 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: Watt was banged up. Um, Jevin Bush has been in 264 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: and not the lineup they're just not Um, they just 265 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: haven't hit their stride yet on defense. But once they do, 266 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: this is a really, really good defense, and this offense 267 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: under Ben Roethlisberger doesn't have to take a lot of chances. 268 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: You know, they can. You know, he could be a 269 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, a game manager. And it's still win a 270 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: lot of football games. So they're still searching for their 271 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: identity as a team. I think, you know, when everyone 272 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: gets healthy, I think this is going to be um 273 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, a stingey defensive team that can win with 274 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: with with a decent offense. But you know, right now, 275 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: they're still trying to find their way. They've still got 276 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: a few injuries are dealing with. But it's a much 277 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: better such a situation than the was a couple of 278 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: weeks ago, when seemingly half of their lineup on defense 279 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: was always injuries. Well, I'm going to stay with defense. 280 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: Then my next question, Keith Butler's your defensive coordinator. I'm 281 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna date myself. I played with Keith Butler when he 282 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: was here with the Seahawks. A great guy, super smart. 283 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: What's interesting to watch him evolved is he was always 284 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: a very conservative coach. I mean, he was his own guy, 285 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: not a big blitzing team, and then he transitioned and 286 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: they blitzed a ton. But how about now, what are 287 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: they from a defense and maybe share some some really 288 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: good players that we don't know about on the Steelers 289 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: defensive side. Yeah, I mean the last couple of years 290 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: they've kind of they've tried to get away from blitzing 291 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: as much as they have. Um. Uh, you know, like 292 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen through twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen when they had 293 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: those great offenses but the defense wasn't weren't up to snuff. 294 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: They spent a lot of high draft picks on defenders 295 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: now and uh, you know, they play a lot of 296 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: four men rushing they like can sit back and coverage. Um. 297 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: What's hurt at this year is they are missing two 298 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: starting defensive lineman Stefan too It has yet to play. 299 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: He's got a knee injury he's on ir and tyson 300 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: A Lululu, another former first round pick, is done for 301 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: the season with a fractured ankle. So they're playing with 302 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys up front. They've given up 303 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: some rushing yards, a pass rush haven't been as good 304 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: as it usually is, so that's kind of been an 305 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: adjustment for Keith. They've been trying to manufacture ways to 306 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, get the pass rush selling. Um. You know, 307 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned guys who are um, you know, maybe unknown, 308 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: but um, you know, playing pretty pretty good ball for them. 309 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: Everyone knows about t J. Watt and Cam Hey where 310 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: those guys are are all prosum and Nika Fitzpatrick is 311 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: an All Pro too, but he's he's at keep safety. 312 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: Um he's just an under the radar guy around the league. 313 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: I think I think he's known in Pittsburgh, but um, 314 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he's is well known around the Nashville 315 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: Football League. Came over from the Dolphins. Ever since he's 316 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: been here, he's kind of been the stabilizing factor in 317 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: the back end of that defense. Now he's not turning 318 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the ball over as much as he did his first 319 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: two years. We haven't seen the big play from him, 320 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: but watched him on Sunday Night, number thirty nine. Really 321 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: really good football player in the back end for the Steelers. Now, 322 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: you guys lost a really good football player in Jujie 323 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster. He's been great for Ben Roethlisberger on third downs. 324 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: You have Deontay Johnson still in Chase Claypool. But how 325 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: do you replace Juju? You move those two guys up, 326 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: and there's somebody that's coming off the bench that's gonna 327 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: be that third receiver spot. How does that lass affect 328 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: this offense? Yeah, I mean James Washington is the number 329 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: four receiver. Whill bump up the number three Now? He 330 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: missed the Broncos game with a groin. He's been limited 331 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: the first two days of the week, so we'll see 332 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: how effective he is on Sunday. They also have Ray 333 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: Ray McCloud, who's a punt returner. You know, he has 334 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: a chance to play a little bit in the slot, 335 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: but a name to watch out for it and he's 336 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: a really really good jung player. He hasn't flashed too 337 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: much yet just because I don't think he completely knows 338 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: the offense. Rookie second round pick tight end Pat Friar 339 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: music really really impressive through our training camp. They've kind 340 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: of slowly worked him into the offense through the first 341 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: five weeks, so I think Smith Schuster's injury might speed 342 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: up his development a little bit. I think he would 343 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: be perfect to kind of fill in that slot receiver 344 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: role for the Steelers. He's a big tight end, but 345 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: he runs routes like a receiver and he's got a 346 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: great set of hand So I think they're gonna piece 347 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: it together with some versatile guys. That Walt's off to 348 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: fire Mews on Sunday night, He's got a chance to 349 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: step up and hum, you know, playing a big role 350 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: for the Steelers in this game. You know, the one 351 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: thing about the Steelers, as weird as it is, we're 352 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: in different conferences, it's one of the most disliked teams 353 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: in the Northwest and obviously goes back to two thousand 354 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: and five Super Bowl, and but what was crazy to 355 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: me in that game, man, one day that they traveled 356 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: and they had crazy terrible twel, yellow terrible towel. So 357 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: I know this is gonna be a top place for 358 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: the Hawks. Man's that's a tough stadium to walk into 359 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: for any opponent. Yeah, I mean, we're only here two 360 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: years ago, and that was the game that Ben Roethlisberger 361 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: got hurt. I think I think Russell picked on Terrell 362 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: Edmonds in that game. I think he too a deep 363 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: Paul the dk metcalf that you know, gave him the 364 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: lead and ultimately the victory in that game. So it'll 365 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if Metcalf and Lockett can step 366 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: up in this game with Keeno Smith. I think if 367 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: they can, I think the Seahawks have a chance to 368 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: make this game competitive or even win it. But you know, 369 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: with Keeno Smith, I think the Steelers, you know, they'll 370 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: they'll have a chance to spind the doll a little bit, 371 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: show him some different looks, and I think the cheer 372 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: has got a pretty decent chance to get back to 373 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: five hundred on Sunday night. All right, the Battle of 374 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: the two and threes. Ray, We appreciate your time, man, 375 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: all right, man, every time, appreciate it. All right, have 376 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: a going all right, Well, we were tired. We're gonna 377 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: talk to Tighten Kolbe Parkinson. That's right here on Hawks 378 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: a lot. You are listening to Hawks Live every Thursday 379 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: on seventeen ESPN Thursday Night Football. The Bucks getting done 380 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven, but the Philly Eagles are in 381 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: scoring position, and right now we have the privilege to 382 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: talk to Seahawks tied end Colby Parkinson, Colby, what up? Man? 383 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? Hey, we're doing good man, 384 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: And you know, we get these these athletes on and 385 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: we interviewed them. The first thing I do is, I go, Man, 386 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: where do you go to school? Where is he from? 387 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: And you're from Cali? Man from Cali as well, I'm 388 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: Coulra City a little more. Uh what is that north 389 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: of you over by the airport? And you went to 390 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: Oaks Christian, the prestigious Oaks Christian High School? What was 391 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: that like playing in high school just with all the 392 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: expectations and the and and the cameras and stuff. Man, 393 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: it had to be a great experience. Oh, I love 394 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: the Oaks was an awesome experience for me. Um, that 395 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: was kind of a high school that I always wanted 396 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: to go to growing up. You know, it was a 397 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: little out of the way for me, but um, it 398 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: was something that was really on my heart that I 399 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: wanted to go there. And it was a great experience 400 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: football wise school and you know, they do great job 401 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: with the whole faith aspect too. Where were you before that, 402 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: because it says you were born in San Ramon up 403 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: in northern California. Were you living close to Westlake and 404 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: Christian before you went there? Yeah? I was so. I 405 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: was born up in northern California and then actually moved 406 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: up to Bellevue for a couple of years and then 407 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: back down for you know, from kindergarten on. I was 408 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: in Simi Valley, just outside of Westlake, and you are 409 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: Hooper man six seven. I hope you hooped man. Did 410 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: you get any looks as a basketball player coming out 411 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: of high school? I stopped playing after my junior year, 412 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: so I didn't get too many looks. But yeah, football 413 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: was kind of my path early on. So looking at 414 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: your junior year, we're kicking this one around. Talk about 415 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: the recruiting process, because your junior year you had twenty 416 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: four catches, two hundred and eighty nine yards, four touchdowns. 417 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: But you commit that December or January, I think to Stanford. 418 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: How did we go into a camp? Is it more 419 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: off your sophomore year? How did you end up going 420 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: to Stanford? Yeah, so my sophomore year was kind of 421 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: my first year starting on varsity, and um, that kind 422 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: of kicked my recruiting off. And I'd always wanted to 423 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: go to Stanford. You know, the academics and the way 424 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: they used the tight end and the pro style offense 425 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: was something that was really appealing to me. M So, 426 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: once I got the offer, right after my junior year, 427 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: I committed within you know, twenty four hours. Did they 428 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: recruit you more off of the potential what you were 429 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: going to do in the passing game where they see 430 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: you as as a run blocker. What was the strength 431 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: of your game at that time? Early on, it was 432 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: definitely the past game. Um, you know, my freshman year 433 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: at Stanford, I was he was mainly as a receiver. 434 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: I was split out all the time, kind of all 435 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: over the field. And then they definitely saw the potential 436 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: of me to progress to the true y and you know, 437 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: play every day and not just passing downs. Hey, Kolby out, 438 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: I believe you broke your fifth metatorso in your foot, 439 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: Is that correct? Correct? Yep? So I had the same 440 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: injury when I was with the Seahawks. I mean, tell 441 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: me what that recovery was like, because I know for me, 442 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: it was hard for me to run as hard as 443 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: I can and put that foot in the ground. I 444 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: really believe that it was going to hold up. Yeah, 445 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: it definitely took a while to get the confidence back. Um, 446 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 1: whether or not to foot was strong enough was kind 447 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: of out of the question. As this for most recoveries, 448 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of its mental just trusting it 449 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: out there. But you know, I was able to come 450 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: back pretty quick. I felt really good out there. This 451 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: was last year, and you know, after about eight weeks 452 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: I was I was really comfortable running around and not 453 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: really thinking about it. But do you had another injury? 454 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: It was it similar to this one? It was similar. 455 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't nearly as bad it was. You know, I 456 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: was only out for about four or five weeks, but 457 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: I was running. You know, a week after I kind 458 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: of messed up a little bit and was back really 459 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: quickly running on the field. I know, you know, fully 460 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: confident and it's all all good. So you said that 461 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: you finally got confidence in it again. How do you 462 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: get at that mindset? I mean, I'm sure you know 463 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: injuries around the feet you start to worry a little bit. 464 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: Do you rely on your your your colleagues there in 465 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: the tight end room or significant other? So the confidence 466 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: just comes from repetition for me, especially, Uh, you can 467 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: only do so much in rehab. You know, you're running 468 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: routes and all that, but it's it's nothing like the game. 469 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: So getting out there and practicing and playing is when 470 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: you're when you're fully confident. It's it fully clicks. So 471 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: now you're healthy, you're ready to go. Describe your game 472 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: to people who probably don't know who you were. What 473 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: type of full ball player is Colby Parkinson? Yeah, I'm 474 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: a six foot seven tight end who loves to catch 475 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: the ball runner outs and you know has definitely developed 476 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: the blocking part of my game to be reliable and 477 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: something that I'll continue to work on and you know, 478 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: be that dependable every down tight end. Do you see that? 479 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I'll call it a hybrid. I mean, look, 480 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: tight ends back in the day, you know you had 481 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: your hand down the ground. It was blocked first, and 482 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: you're an outlet second. You know. Now today it's you know, 483 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver. As you mentioned, you get spread out. 484 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: How do you see that? You how they use you 485 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: moving forward and over the next couple of years, you 486 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: see that being moved out mostly in the passing game. 487 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: I think they'll try to use me all over the field. 488 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: I mean, my job is, or my goal rather is 489 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: to be someone that, um, you know, when I'm on 490 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: the field, they're not sure what's coming. They can put 491 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: me out wide, they can line me up him on 492 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: the ground and we can do all different types of 493 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: things and really have some different creative looks based off 494 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: of it. So that's that's the goal for me at 495 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: least moving forward, and you know, try to show what 496 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: I can do out there on the field. He can 497 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: do it all Moreyer, that's what he's saying. He can 498 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: do it all. So now let's let's go back to college. Now, Colby, 499 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: Now you your Stanford Cardinal has a big win against 500 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: Oregon and over time they go up top to big 501 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: receivers to get it done. Then the next week they 502 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: lose to pal Moore's alma mater. Thank you for bringing 503 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: on the state. Just where do you think stand for 504 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: football is right now? You know, they're just trying to 505 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: find it. I think kind of like kind of like 506 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: us this year. Honestly, we're have some great stuff going 507 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: on and some stuff we you know, we're working through 508 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: and trying to trying to clift. So, uh, they'll figure 509 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: it out. I know they will. And I mean that 510 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: Organ game was pretty awesome to watch us. I was 511 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: fired up for them. So it's interesting about David Shaw. 512 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: His dad, Willie Shaw, was my defensive back coach at 513 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: Arizona State. Probably oh, well, I hate to say, because 514 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: I've had so many great coaches in my life, but 515 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: there was none finer. I mean again, just really intelligent 516 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: guy I understood, not just a game people, and I 517 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have made an NFL without him. I mean, 518 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: he's he was that impactful in my life. But I 519 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: remember David when I think as either on a recruiting trip. 520 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,239 Speaker 1: I think I stayed at at the Shaw's house and 521 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: he was a little and you know, he was looking up, 522 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: you know, like I was. You know, he was he 523 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: was in awe of me back then. As all I'm saying, um, 524 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: just just really have But so Dave Wyman, I was 525 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: more of a a statement than anything on that. Dave Wyman, 526 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: who went to Stanford and who I played with. Also, 527 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: he I said, will give me something to ask Colby 528 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: that you know, maybe no one knows. And he said, 529 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: go ask him if they still have Sunday night flicks 530 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: at st Flicks Flick. Yeah, so I knew. So I 531 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: had to be prepared. I go, Dave. If he says no, 532 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: I've never heard it, I got to have a where 533 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: I got somewhere to go on this one. But he 534 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: used to say it was a big deal at Stanford 535 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: that they would release movies ahead of time, like three 536 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: or four days, and it would be called Sunday Night Flicks, 537 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: and able to release it at Stanford, everybody would go 538 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: to watch it. So so basically there's nothing to do 539 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: at Stanford. If that's all he had, I don't know. 540 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: That sounds pretty fun to me. Exactly. That did not 541 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: happen while we were there, Hey, Colby, no worry about it. 542 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: We stream nowadays. There's no flicks. There's no fire. That's true. Hey, 543 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: Kobe man, we appreciate you taking time out of your day. Man. 544 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: Good luck this uh this Sunday Man, Sunday Night against 545 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: day Steelers. That's right, Yeah, I can't wait. Appreciate you guys. 546 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: God blessed all right, thank you. That was Kolby Parkins. 547 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Hey man, sounds like a good kid man. So you 548 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: know me anybody man of faith and he went to 549 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: He talked about oas Christian why he went there. You know, 550 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: he kept bringing up, you know, faith and academics. Well 551 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: I had to Stanford academics, you know, and you know, hey, 552 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: blessings at the end. That's I'll take that in today's 553 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: world any day. All day every day. That was Kolby 554 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: Parks Parkins. And when we come up, when we come back, 555 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: get it out bumped. We come back, We're gonna talk 556 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: to the Professor John Clayton right here on Hawks Loves. 557 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: You know what it is, Hawks Live every Thursday. You 558 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: hear the funk in the background. That means we're talking 559 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: to j C. John Clayton. What's up man? How are 560 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: we doing good? Michael? How are you? We are doing okay, 561 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: but talking full bab we're watching full ball at the 562 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: same time. We got the Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 563 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: Doesn't surprise you. I think I saw a stat that 564 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady leads the league in passing yards and touchdowns. 565 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 1: How great is that? John, Oh, it's fantastic. I mean 566 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: you go back to last year and I think what 567 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: he has. You know, thirteen and fourteen consecutive games where 568 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: he's had three touchdown passes are more. He's had more 569 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: three hundred yard games dating back to last year than 570 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: anybody in football. And the only bad part about this 571 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: game is that the Eagles are playing, and of course 572 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: that ruins the chance to watch the Kraken because again 573 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: you can see how one sided this game is. And 574 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: the Eagles, you know, though exciting a little bit on offense, 575 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: just aren't that good. It's Kansas City. I mean, we 576 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: can't say they're done because the Seahawks are two on three. 577 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: That means now, but they don't look the same. They 578 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: don't they're not the same. I mean they're bad on defense. 579 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: You know, they've gotten hardly anything out of Frank Clark. 580 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: I know, Chris Jones was injured last week. The secondaries 581 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: notw doing well. It's not like they're great at the 582 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: linebacker position. They're getting no pressure on the quarterback. They've 583 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: revamped their offensive line. But the biggest thing is Patrick Mahomes. 584 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you're dating back to last year. He's thrown 585 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,479 Speaker 1: about thirteen interceptions and he's never done that. I mean, 586 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: he's always been, you know, one of the most accurate quarterbacks, 587 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: one of the safest quarterbacks. But he's making more key 588 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: mistakes than he's ever made. And they come into critical 589 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter, and so because of that, 590 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: those comebacks that he had last year, I mean, he's close, 591 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: but he's not getting them now. They lose Edward Clyde Hilaire. 592 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: They're running back he's got an MCL, so he's going 593 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: to be out probably three to four weeks. And it's 594 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: not a good situation. You know, he's not getting the 595 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: ball as consistent to Tyree Hill. So yeah, they're just 596 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: not the same team right now. And at the moment, 597 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, the best team in the AFC West is 598 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. John how great was the performance 599 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: by Lamar and Jackson on Monday nightfall? About thirty seven 600 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: to forty three, four to forty two yards, four touchdowns. 601 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: Is it time that people stop just saying he's a 602 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: running quarterback? Yeah? I think so, because again you can 603 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: see there's two things he's advanced on now to have 604 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 1: a game like that, with that kind of accuracy and 605 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: that kind of throwing, knowing the teams are doing their 606 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: best to stuff the run, and knowing that you know, 607 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: basically the you know, the Ravens are patching their running 608 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: back position with your players off the street like Lady 609 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: Latavius Murray and Devonte Freeman. And now you know, having 610 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, Levion Bell, Uh, it's not the same, 611 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: And so you can take away a little bit of 612 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: a run, but you can't take away his runs. And 613 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: so his ability to run where he's going to run 614 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: for over a thousand yards and to have a game 615 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: like that was just absolutely incredible. So No, In fact, 616 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: I had to do a thing for the Washington Post, 617 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: and I probably have Lamar too low because I had 618 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: to do the MVPs, and basically nine to the ten 619 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: MVPs were all quarterbacks. You know, I had Derrick Henry's 620 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: number ten at running back. But you know, I put, 621 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, maybe I'm wrong on this, Tyler 622 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: Murray at number one because he's five and zero. I 623 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: put obviously Tom Brady at number two, Josh Allen at 624 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: number three because you know, he's right now the biggest 625 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: offensive producer as far as points in the AFC roughly, 626 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: and then I had Lamar number four. Yeah, Kyler Murray's 627 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: starting to worry him. He's he's turned out to be better, 628 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: and I thought he would at this stage. But John, 629 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: you were at Pittsburgh, from Pittsburgh at least before you 630 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: came to Seattle. So two things, Well, I asked just 631 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: one right now, but I'll follow up after. Um, what 632 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: what are they saying there about Ben Roethlisberger? Is this 633 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: is this sit for him, they say this is it? Yeah? 634 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean because again, I mean you got a lot 635 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: of people were thinking this should have been it, uh 636 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: you know this before the season, which would have been 637 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: wrong because again, where are they going to get the quarterback? 638 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, they they make, they 639 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, they win eleven games, so you know, 640 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: it's like Tom john Snyder and that you're drafting into twenties, 641 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: where's the quarterback? I mean because five quarterbacks you know, 642 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: went into top thirteen picks and so you know, and 643 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: they weren't going to have the ability to trade up 644 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: into a thirteen or eleven or so to be able 645 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: to get a quarterback. I mean it's like, yeah, you're 646 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: going to replace Ben Roethlisberger with Davis Mills of Stanford. 647 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't think so. So you know, now this year, 648 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: if they have a bad if they continue to lose. Now, 649 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: of course, they won a big game last week against Denver, 650 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: but if they have a season right now, they could 651 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: end up, you know, with a top twelve, top ten 652 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: pick and be in a position to move up to 653 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: get a quarterback. But I think right now what you're 654 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: looking at is Ben is getting two beat up you 655 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: can see that Ben other than last week, has not 656 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: thrown the ball down field as much. I mean, for example, 657 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: three of his first score four games, I mean he 658 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: threw for less than six yards an attempt. And as 659 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, Paul and you know Michael, was like, hey, 660 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean you need six. Point four is not good. 661 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: Less than six is bad. Yeah, they got they got you. Unfortunately, 662 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: I think they have to put it on the shoulders 663 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: go with their thirty first in the rushing yards game 664 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: and then twenty ninth rushing average. So they're not getting 665 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: it done either way. Yeah, but they're getting better right 666 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 1: now because they had a real good game against Denver. 667 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: But Naji Harris that they did no, he had a 668 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: career game, all right. So you Pittsburgh guy, Seattle guy. 669 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: I think pitt the best at nighttime. The best look 670 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: at any stadium in the nash Football League is luman Field. 671 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: It's just the way it's But I'll tell you what 672 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: I think the second best is is it still Hinesfield? 673 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: Is Hines Field, those terrible yellow towels waving all crazy. 674 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 1: So maybe share a little differences between those two experiences 675 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: when people walk in and what the Seahawks are against 676 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: it with a home crowd. Well, what you have to 677 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: do is you have to go back in history and 678 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: h you know, look what happened in Pittsburgh because all 679 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, Pittsburgh in the early seventies, 680 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, the steel mills were starting to close, and 681 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: so what ended up happening is that you start losing 682 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people moving out of town because you know, 683 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: they don't have the type of high paying type of 684 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: jobs that you would have in the steel mills, and 685 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: so there was a real kind of lull there. Then 686 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden here in seventy two, the Steelers start, 687 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: they make their first playoff run with the immaculate reception, 688 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: and then eventually two years later go to four out 689 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 1: of six Super Bowls, and all of a sudden, that 690 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: developed the pride that this team had, that the city 691 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: had in their football team, and the pride that the 692 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: city had in their in their Steelers and also in 693 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: their city. And so that was important because now you 694 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: can see the fan base is about as good as 695 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: it can be. It's loyal, it's loud, I mean, it cares. 696 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, frank, I mean, you know, Myron Cope was 697 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: the one who started the terrible towels and of course, 698 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: uh you know whom ha. He was the one who 699 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: taught them all to try to wave those towels and 700 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 1: do it. And they all do it and they love 701 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: doing it. But I mean, they've got a great fan base. 702 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: They care about this team, and they're all going to 703 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: cheer it on. First time I ever cried immaculate reception. 704 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: I was a diehard Raider fan, even though I grew 705 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: up in southern California, because I was George Blanda and 706 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: Fred blitten A cough and all those guys. First time 707 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: I ever and now I was little, but I never 708 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: liked Pittsburgh since until we had it was their running back. 709 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: Sorry Franco Harris. Yeah, when we got him in eighty 710 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: four when Kurt Warner got hurt and I got to 711 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: hang out with him for eight games when he was 712 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: on our team. One of the sweetheart of sweetheart guys, oh, 713 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: no question about it. A great guy. Franko into Bank, 714 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 1: Oh and you know all that stuff. I mean I 715 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: still remember, you know, right before he came to Seattle, 716 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, going over to his house over in the 717 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: north north side of Pittsburgh, and uh, you know, saying, Franco, 718 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: what are you doing with this holdout? I mean, you're 719 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: asking for a multi year contract and you're in your thirties. 720 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: Are you crazy? No? I deserve it. It's like I've 721 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: had a great career and I deserve it, two or 722 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,919 Speaker 1: three year contract extension and all that. I said, Frank, 723 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get it. And so next thing you know, 724 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: they let him go. He ends up coming out here 725 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: and he is just a great guy. John our producer 726 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: Nasa Choby always gets us with some good stuff and 727 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 1: on our show shot he has a look. The Seahawks 728 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: came into training cap with ten corners. Three of those 729 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: guys remain Read Brown and Heslop. Do you think they 730 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: are content moving forward with these guys. No, I think 731 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: that they're still going to continue to look. I mean, 732 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: because again, it's like the cornerback position. I know Dave 733 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: Winman didn't believe me on this, but I told him 734 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 1: it's like the cornerback position right now is one of 735 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 1: the most injured in football, cornerback and offensive lineman. And 736 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,279 Speaker 1: so that's why, for example, there was no question that 737 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers is going to get something quick. You know, 738 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: Cincinnati loses Trey Wayne's they're high paid cornerback from last year. 739 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he goes on the injured reserve list, Boom 740 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: Flowers goes. But I think what you're looking at right 741 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: now is that, you know, they bring in a Kello 742 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: Witherspoon and that didn't work out, but they were able 743 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: to get rid of his four million dollars guaranteed contract. 744 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: You know, Flowers probably, I don't know, is a debate 745 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: whether he wanted out or not. But you know, Pete 746 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: Carroll at the very least said that, you know, they 747 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: needed to go a different direction because he needed a 748 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: fresh start, and so that didn't go. But you know, 749 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: they make the trade for Sidney Jones. But I think 750 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: they're still going to be looking you know, again, I 751 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: don't think that they I mean again, I was kind 752 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: of surprised they weren't willing to give up that the 753 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: low twenty twenty three pick to get Stefan Gilmore. But 754 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: you can understand it. He's thirty one, he didn't have 755 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: a great season last year, and he's still injured. Like 756 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: for example, we still got another week on the pup list, 757 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: so he couldn't help immediately. John it's at time. What's 758 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: on your mind, Professor, Well, I guess the big thing 759 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: right now is that, you know, with John Gruden being 760 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: let go and wisely so because of the bad comments 761 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: that he made, and you know, you feel bad about 762 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: the fact that here's the Washington investigation going nowhere and 763 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 1: the only people that had any kind of problems were 764 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: John Gruden and Ad Schefter, which is very bizarre. But 765 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: I think the big thing that this signals is that 766 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of coaching changes 767 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: this year, you know, because now what you wonder he's like, 768 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: who's going to come in for John Gruden. I mean, 769 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: certainly you can see that Matt Nagy's in trouble. I mean, 770 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: you can go through a long list of coaches that 771 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: are going to be in trouble. But I think this 772 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: just kind of tips it off. And of course, you know, 773 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: the one that I still don't I still don't know 774 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: if he can make it to the Seahawk game is 775 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: Urban Myer because you know, Urban is so bad right now, 776 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: It's what he does, probably one of the worst coaches 777 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: to ever come into this league. And so it's like, 778 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: how's that one gonna go? And you don't have great 779 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: hopes for that. All right, John, As always, we appreciate 780 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: you time you can keep it funky. We'll talk to 781 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: you on Sunday. Sounds good? Okay? When we return this 782 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 1: time for me and Moyer to talk that talk.

We'll 785 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: talk about that and more right here on Hawks Live. 786 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: Welcome back Hawks Live. Every Thursday. It's time to talk 787 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: to talk boy and say what's your chest? Moyer? Whatever 788 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: you say, you say it with your chest. Tell them 789 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,319 Speaker 1: everybody to jump oneven, spin and go and look at 790 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: the stream video us in the studio. My chest is 791 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 1: sticking out right now. Moore has been working out, y'all. 792 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: He's been working out. Thank you notice? Hey, I got 793 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: you all right? First question I have for you, because 794 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: we're talking at talk right now, will Gino go three 795 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: and oh? Now they got the Steelers, the Saints and 796 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: the Jaguars before the bye? Will they go three and oh? 797 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: With Gino? I feel a lot more confident if our 798 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 1: defense was a team that I felt I could depend 799 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: on to shut this the other opponent down and to 800 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: get them a bunch of opportunities. But here's what I 801 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: will say. I'm gonna say yes, and here's why we 802 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: just gotta win this one next tour at home. I 803 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: don't think New Runs is very good. And Jacksonvilles note, 804 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: I also like it that we are we're we've all 805 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 1: been on this team. When you lose the guy and 806 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: there's one, there's two ways you can go. Let's go 807 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: south quickly or everybody picks it up. And we got 808 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: so many good players on this team, they just got 809 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: to bring their game up. We talked to the very 810 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:25,760 Speaker 1: beginning of the show last week, three of our four really, 811 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, three of our four high paid players, if 812 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: they hadn't done their job on a certain plays. It 813 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: was a twenty point twenty one point swing on these 814 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: on three plays holding penalty. You know, we didn't hit 815 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: a wide open Tyler Lockett and Jamal Adams on that 816 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: third down play cover too. So I think we're going 817 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: to rise in the occasion. I think our defense is 818 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: gonna play much better. And I mean there's nowhere to go, 819 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: you know, really, I mean there's sometimes you hit rock 820 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: bottom and you just go Okay, guys, let's just go 821 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: play football. We've been doing this since we've been like 822 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: five years old. So I think we're gonna go three 823 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: and O. But you know, obviously this is the one. 824 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: I think the next two aren't gonna be as definicult. Okay, 825 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: So there's two ways you make decisions. Your heart with 826 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: your mind. Yeah. My heart says yes, three and oh, 827 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: let's get it. My mind says, why would I believe 828 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna go three and OL The defense to struggle. 829 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 1: The offense wasn't right with Russell Wilson. Now you got 830 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: Gino coming in. I think Gino can move the ball, 831 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to lean on your defense. The 832 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: run game. Parson's banged up, Alice Collins is gonna get 833 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: a few more carries. I'm just not sure that they're 834 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 1: gonna go three and U, so I'm gonna say they 835 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: will not. I think they're gonna drop at least one 836 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: of these. I'm leaning more towards two and one rather 837 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: than three and H just off of what I've seen 838 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: the past five weeks. Do you think we win this week? 839 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: So this is the game. You don't think we know? 840 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: I think this. I think the ones after these they 841 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: can get. But I think that Ben's healthy enough. They 842 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: have a run game, they have two receivers on the outside. 843 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: We know how we've struggled in the past game. They 844 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,240 Speaker 1: have a decent defense. Defense isn't as bad as ours 845 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 1: has been playing right now. I look at it the matchup, 846 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: but look at the numbers. I'm just like, why should 847 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: they win this game? And they won one time in 848 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in twenty years one time, yeah, and that was 849 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,879 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Last time we were there, yeah, I think 850 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: it was eighteen nineteen. Yeah, So like that chat, which 851 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: is kind of weird. And they changed the rules. I 852 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: think on how we do divisional games and crossovers now 853 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 1: because now you don't get to go to the you 854 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,439 Speaker 1: know the other, the AFC to their place, but every 855 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: eight years now I'm moving forward. Um, I can't remember 856 00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. That's not good. You're gonna say, 857 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: bumb Mell is an excellent point. I agree with you. 858 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm changing my mind now. It wasn't excellent point. And 859 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: I honestly I was gonna bring a really good piece 860 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: to this, but I just can't remember now, so it 861 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:50,399 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, all right, but simple about simplifying. I guess, um, 862 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 1: do you think man Russell has been the guy Russell 863 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: doesn't miss. He's been injured, but he hasn't missed a 864 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: game or a practice. Now do you think losing Russell 865 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 1: that Shane waldron Sean will be easier this week with 866 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 1: Gino Smith at quarterback. Oh? Yeah, it's gonna be It's 867 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna be easier. It's gonna be easier. Let me explain 868 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 1: to why you know easier and that, hey, part of 869 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: it is probably not as much pressure. Right, I'm gonna 870 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: answer the question for me while I was trying to 871 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 1: set the question the question up, but go ahead, Ah, yeah, 872 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: I let it. Okay, it's gonna it's gonna be easier. Okay, 873 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be easier because Gino's not gonna go 874 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and check out of a 875 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: bunch of things. Gino is gonna go through his progressions 876 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: and hit the very first thing he sees open, rather 877 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: than I feel like where Russell does is like, look, 878 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: I know this is open, but because this is open, 879 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: the defense is going to react and this deep ball 880 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be there. I think when they talk on 881 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: the sideline. Gino's gonna be like, yep, okay, I got 882 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: you less input. Now that ind input is you take 883 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: it from Russell Wilson because he's a good football mind. 884 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: He prepares, he's ready to go. But I'm sure at 885 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: some point Shane is like, all right, man, let's just 886 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 1: run the play, you know. But Russell, being who he is, 887 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: all the famer, he has input. I think Geno isn't 888 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: gonna be like, what you want me to do? Coach, 889 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: I got you making his job easier. They're gonna be 890 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: talking right after that fifteen second mark. Ball might even 891 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: be snapped right at the fifteen second mark. This is 892 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: his job easier. I think we're gonna find out what 893 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: kind of coach Jane Waldron is and this one because 894 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: there won't be any bailouts, you know, there won't be 895 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: in this magic get out of these certain rushes. Though, 896 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: I will say that Gino Smith impressed me with his 897 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: legs and his speed, you know what I mean. Really 898 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: he looks fresh, obviously he has. He hadn't played his 899 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 1: arm his accuracy to me, the only bad throw he 900 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: made was the last throw in the game where it 901 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: was an interception and it wasn't his fault. If we 902 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: don't slip with there's probably not an interception. I just 903 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: thought that was a forced two minute. There was a 904 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,879 Speaker 1: checkdown that would would have probably got us a first 905 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: down in the first play, got us around the midfield. 906 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be something that's easier for Waldron 907 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 1: because there's gonna be a consistency that how the the 908 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: play develops, right, And so you're right. I think he's 909 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna know what Gino's gonna do. I know how to 910 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: set this up. There's times where I don't know what 911 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 1: Russell's gonna do, you know, and so I'm not sure 912 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: maybe how to set the next playoff as well. So 913 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: I think it'll be easier. I don't know if it 914 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: makes it easier on the Seahawks, but I think you're right. 915 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,520 Speaker 1: I think it'll may be from a play calling standby, 916 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,919 Speaker 1: and then it will be probably be easier for shame. 917 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: All right, Jamal Adams. We'll get his first second on Sunday, 918 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: Yes he will. And here's why. All right, they've been 919 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: playing him like a strong safety. He's not a strong safety. 920 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: He's not a free safety. He's a high bred. He's 921 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: a guy that needs to be up around the line 922 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: of scrammers. I think we're gonna see more of what 923 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: we saw last year. I don't know how they're gonna 924 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: mix the package. It's it's it's more difficult because you 925 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,720 Speaker 1: got Jordan Brooks in there, and you've got Darryl Taylor, 926 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: So you go, who are you pulling off the field. 927 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta pull somebody, and I'm not so sure. Again, 928 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 1: it's I don't know if they'll do it. Because Bobby 929 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,080 Speaker 1: never misses a snap. I believe you got to arrest 930 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: these guys who are older. I have no problem going 931 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: in with a dying package and having Jamal Adams is 932 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Teams ain't running on third down, you know. 933 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: So if I got third and six, third and seven, 934 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: I got a truly another blitzer that they've got to 935 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: account for. He's certainly capable of covering backs and tight ends. 936 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: I just think we're gonna use him more around the 937 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So, yes, this will be at a 938 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: Green Bay's offensive lines not very good. I think with 939 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger being the statue that he is, he already was 940 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: a statue, but he could move a little bit in 941 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: his younger years. The chances of him having a sack 942 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: this week go up because you naturally think, okay, you 943 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: have the pressure. Ben Roethlisberger. He's not gonna go anywhere, 944 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say no, and I'm just gonna say 945 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,399 Speaker 1: no because I feel like kidding. Norton and Pee Carroll 946 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: think they can give pressure with this defensive line. I 947 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,240 Speaker 1: think I think they look at they look at Daryl 948 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: Taylor and they say, look, man, we're gonna we're gonna 949 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: doalce something for Daryl. We're gonna put him all some stunts. 950 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna put him in a nine tag, We're gonna 951 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 1: do some things with him, and dropped Jamal into covers 952 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 1: like they've been doing. They've been playing them like a 953 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: strong safety. I would love for him to get a 954 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: sack this week. I just don't think it's go well 955 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: hard one second bump. Here's the other thing. So head 956 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: coach Mike Tomlin from the Pittsburgh Steelers, he's a big 957 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: fan of Jamal Adams. He's been watching the tape and 958 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: I think he thinks of Jamal Adams a little bit 959 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,760 Speaker 1: like you guys have been saying, especially Paul dismentioned here's 960 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: him talking about Jamal Adams during his press conference this 961 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,879 Speaker 1: week on the defensive side of the ball, looking at them, 962 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: they got some dynamic players. Man, that's strong safety. Man. 963 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: We got our hands full in terms of trying to 964 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: minimize him, not only in terms of in the box, 965 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: in terms of what he does in the run game. 966 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: But he's just an outstanding blitzer. Man. I spent some 967 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 1: time this summer delving back into twenty twenty tape and 968 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,360 Speaker 1: just looking at some opponents and looking at some players, 969 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,280 Speaker 1: and man, this guy is the most dynamic secretary blitzer 970 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: in football. I mean the rate in which he gets 971 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,359 Speaker 1: to the quarterback that is something to be respected. It's 972 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,879 Speaker 1: funny because too many people, to me, focus only on 973 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: what he can't do. Yeah, and they don't. They don't 974 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: watch what he does do because he's still they account 975 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,280 Speaker 1: for him and he's still a freak coming at the football. 976 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a playmaker. Like for him to add 977 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: more saying, I like for him to make some plays 978 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 1: in the passing game. But this is where you said 979 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: something right before we did that. You go, I think, 980 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 1: Pete think we can get it with our front four 981 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 1: and Darryl Taylor which again four sacks five games. Let's 982 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: give him more opportunities. That's pretty impressive so far. But 983 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: I also believe that they know what they have, and 984 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: that is what Tomlin just said. He's explosive. You don't 985 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 1: waste that kind of ability sitting back in a three 986 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: deep zone or him playing a too deep That's not 987 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: his game though, and I think they've seen enough of 988 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,800 Speaker 1: it to go. All right, let's get our best players 989 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: on the field to make plays. All right. We know 990 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: what he does well, we know what he doesn't do well, 991 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: and we shall see how they use him. On Sunday, 992 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 1: Morier things, he's gonna get it this this week. First second, Okay, 993 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: when we returned, we'll go inside the firm room. Darrel Taylor, Sackle, 994 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Matthew Stafford finds the Sean jacksonport six a 995 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 1: yard bomb, Gino Smith to DK Metcal. We'll break those 996 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: down neck on Hawkslide. Thanks for listening to Hawks Live 997 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,240 Speaker 1: every Thursday at seven o'clock right here on seventeen ESPN 998 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: on Michael Bumps with Paul Morier, and now we get 999 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: to be coaches. Morier playing in the league, he coached 1000 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 1: in the league he coached high school. I'm coaching high 1001 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: school ball right now. We're going to the film room, coach, 1002 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 1: and the first player we're gonna break down Daryl Taylor 1003 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 1: sax Matthew Stafford for seven yard loss. First from Tendanth 1004 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: to Seattle forty play fake Stafford, gonna stop, gonna look, 1005 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: gets hit Coach down back in midfield, getting jo him 1006 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:53,080 Speaker 1: in the backfield. It is Daryl Taylor Daily at four 1007 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 1: sacks in five games. He's starting to be what they 1008 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: thought he would be when they drafted him. You know, 1009 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: a steal of a draft and I think he's going 1010 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 1: to be one of them. You don't impress me on this. 1011 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: He's lining up on the left side, he goes up 1012 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: against her tight end. It's just how strong he is. 1013 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: I think of him as a speed rusher mostly only yeah, 1014 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: but he's a bull rush guy too. I mean, obviously 1015 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: he has he's very strong with his hands inside, so 1016 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of a bull rush, and 1017 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,959 Speaker 1: he beats the tight end inside eventually, and it's just 1018 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: his effort at this point because after that there's nothing right. 1019 00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's kind of sandwiched win between the tackle 1020 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: and the tight ends. He's split those two. This is 1021 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: a This is an effort sax. So when you get 1022 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: that from a speed rusher who can also bull rush inside, 1023 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Bull rushing is almost standing straight up. It's 1024 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 1: not even like he has a leverage man. This is 1025 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,240 Speaker 1: just a young man who wants to get out the football. 1026 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: You know those older states. I mean they're gonna use 1027 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: good technique and gonna get hands on the chess plate. 1028 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,319 Speaker 1: They're gonna push and get through. This is just sea ball, 1029 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: get ball. I want a sax effort. I like that. 1030 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: It's a and you could make up for some technique 1031 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 1: if you just have a great effort and it's a 1032 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 1: good thing. You got the sack and you'll find us 1033 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 1: in almost every play there's someone open. But boys, sacks 1034 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 1: make secondaries look really good quickly. Yeah, so we need 1035 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: more of those a lot more. Okay, next play, Matthew 1036 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,479 Speaker 1: Stafford finds de Sean Jackson for a sixty eight yard 1037 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 1: game on third and ten. Stafford shot gun stout, Here 1038 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: comes the rush, steps up, I'm gonna let it fly. 1039 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: Got a man, it's Jackson, it's under throne. And he 1040 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 1: comes back and makes the catch and now turns up 1041 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 1: field to the thirty twenty five being chased as Jones 1042 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: was chasing him on a desperation play, Stafford throws it 1043 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: up for grabs. It's under throwne and the only guy 1044 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,280 Speaker 1: that adjusts to it is DeShawn Jackson for at least 1045 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: seventy five maybe closer to seventy eight yards on that 1046 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 1: pass reception and run. Wow, you want to start, I 1047 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,239 Speaker 1: go first, So no one can ever claim that we 1048 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,439 Speaker 1: only show good plays okay by the Seahawks. So this 1049 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: one is actually something I wish we'd run more of. 1050 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: This is two man and so what that means we're 1051 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: running too deep with our safeties and instead of playing 1052 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: zone underneath, everybody's manned up usually inside trail technique, and 1053 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,960 Speaker 1: there's you don't want a trail real far, you know, 1054 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: because you know you start creating space to run, you know, 1055 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 1: inside outside routes, and if you run a corner route, 1056 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: you know that's hard for the safety to come over 1057 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,919 Speaker 1: the top on this. You look, this one is why 1058 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: we pay people big bucks. You've got to make this play. 1059 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: You know, this down, This is third down. This is 1060 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: actually LJ. Collyer's best rush of the year. It's awesome. 1061 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:39,719 Speaker 1: The stunt he does, he destroys Stafford. Staffords sees the 1062 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,600 Speaker 1: last second he's he's looking to his left, which, by 1063 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 1: the way, he would get because one of our guys 1064 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,279 Speaker 1: falls down. I don't like this technique at all by 1065 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 1: our right corner dj Reid. Um. It's really hard to 1066 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,120 Speaker 1: play man like that, you know, and and let somebody 1067 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,480 Speaker 1: just keep breaking your cushion. Um destroys him. And so 1068 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 1: Stafford comes back side thinking he has a different coverage 1069 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: and and this this is actually should be an interception. 1070 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: I don't like how our corners are running this because 1071 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: we're trying to disguise. Let's just let's just be technically sound, 1072 00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: and I mean, get up and bump. Take away the route, man, 1073 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,040 Speaker 1: take away the time of the right. We're letting these 1074 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: guys run down free. I mean, our corners just let 1075 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: these guys get outside. So it now it's putting a 1076 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 1: ton of pressure on Jamal Adams. And this is why 1077 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't to me make the play. It's basically a 1078 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 1: go route on him deep and once they get past 1079 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty yards, it's one on one wide receiver versus safety. 1080 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: And in this situation, he gets a little nervous of 1081 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: the guy's speed, gets turned more than he should and 1082 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 1: ends up. Jackson makes the play when it should have 1083 00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: been an interception. But I would correct this this technique. 1084 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 1: Here's the word I don't like. I believe that's Sidney 1085 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: Jones that corner over to Shaun Jackson doesn't get hands 1086 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: on him. I'm a receiver. You do not put hands 1087 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: on me doing a route. I'm living good. Life is great. 1088 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to manipulate this whole situation. Another thing, I 1089 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: don't like that technique. You speak up. I understand they're 1090 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: gonna play a trail technique, but he is flat footed 1091 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,919 Speaker 1: Moyer like he's there's no he's not on his toes. 1092 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Sydney Jones here. He's not on his toes. 1093 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,400 Speaker 1: He's literally saying, okay, run by me. Then I'm going 1094 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 1: to try and catch up. Which I understand trail technique, 1095 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,800 Speaker 1: but I doubt that you would coach it that way. 1096 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: Here's the good Jamal Adam sees it turns a run right, 1097 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: he's beating him to the spot, but it's almost like 1098 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 1: he's not even really looking at the receiver. He's kind 1099 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 1: of just saying, I'm gonna make sure I get on 1100 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: top and at least prevent a big play from happening. 1101 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 1: Where it's almost like, you know, and I never played 1102 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: safety in the league. I played at high school, Culver 1103 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: City High School back in California. But I'm turning and 1104 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: running and I'm running to the receiver. I'm looking at 1105 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 1: his eyes, I'm looking at his body language. Is that 1106 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 1: football about to drop? And that just shows and it 1107 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 1: gets your point where this week, right, don't put him 1108 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 1: in coverage, put him down in the box. That's just 1109 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: not where he's comfortable. Can he get better at this stuff? Yeah? 1110 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: The good thing is he's over the top, he's in 1111 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,560 Speaker 1: decent position. He just doesn't locate the full to his 1112 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: credit though, real quick, do you think if this ball 1113 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 1: is not underthrown his Jamal doesn't make this play? Now, 1114 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,040 Speaker 1: I was gonna make that next comment he again, because 1115 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: we we're not jam And again, I'm not even putting 1116 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 1: this on the corners. This to me, both corners are 1117 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 1: playing off, so they're trying to give him a three 1118 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,720 Speaker 1: deep look and Jamal runs out late to the half. 1119 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,399 Speaker 1: I probably I could spend thirty minutes just coaching all 1120 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 1: these things here. But so there's two things. That why 1121 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: it's it's so difficult for Jamal one. Jamal doesn't play 1122 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: a lot of cover two. My first thing that I'm 1123 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: seeing here is I have only one threat. I have 1124 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: one threat, and that's that left wide out receiver for Jamal. 1125 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,919 Speaker 1: Now if I had two wide receivers on that side, 1126 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: now I got to play this different. I got one. 1127 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,240 Speaker 1: As soon as I see that one, I'm getting wider. Yeah, 1128 00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,719 Speaker 1: I've got my guy inside. I don't have to worry 1129 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: about anything inside. I'm getting wider and deeper. So now 1130 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,720 Speaker 1: this guy gets no, there's no jam and it's not taught. 1131 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 1: He's seven or eight years yards back. So what we 1132 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,040 Speaker 1: talk about reroutes, right, you can't reroute a guy in 1133 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,879 Speaker 1: the NFL seven or eight yards. It's a penalty. Even 1134 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 1: in college. It's they're they're coming at you too fast. 1135 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: Now I can do it at three to five yards. 1136 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,919 Speaker 1: I can reroute the people because they're not at full 1137 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: speed in this case, Jackson's and attract me. So Jamal 1138 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: is immediately threatened. You see him, he turns to run 1139 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 1: because he thinks this is a go route, which, by 1140 00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: the way, it's supposed to be. Yea, but call your 1141 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 1: hits are guy the quarterbacks so hard the balls underthrown 1142 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: it flutters and in that situation, it's just they made 1143 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:39,440 Speaker 1: a play on us. Unfortunate in good position, unfortunate situation. Okay, 1144 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 1: last play. Geno Smith finds DK Metcalf for its twenty 1145 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,960 Speaker 1: three yard touchdown first and ten here coming to blitz throw, 1146 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 1: Metcalf got its stay are you kidding? Man? From twenty 1147 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: three uf Jino Smith throws a perfect class over to 1148 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,320 Speaker 1: the under Rochelle. They have metcap with those two thick 1149 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 1: mits renches up touchdown hawks. They're crawling within three sixteen thirteen. 1150 00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 1: Now they're getting empty, so you know what they're doing. 1151 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw the football here. Gino does not disguise anything. 1152 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 1: He gets into his drop and he's looking right at DK. 1153 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: Now it correct me if I'm wrong. More it looks 1154 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: like a zone. I believe it should have been a 1155 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 1: three D. But there's nothing to the flat. So everyone 1156 00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: that starts to get a little depth there to start 1157 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 1: backing up. Gino knew he was going to DK here. 1158 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: There's no one else he was going to. I look 1159 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,920 Speaker 1: at the technique of the corner of Rochelle. I think 1160 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 1: that's what we heard Rabels say his last name was um. 1161 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,520 Speaker 1: He finds a football and kind of gets frozen. It's 1162 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: like a deer cotton the headlights. He goes there's the football, 1163 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: and his technique just leaves him. What DK does a 1164 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: great job of doing is leaving space on the sideline 1165 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: for a fade. If Gino puts the ball further outside, 1166 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 1: I think that Geno knew where he was going. The 1167 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: dp dB played horrible, tell me, and DK did a 1168 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: great job of just leaving space and then going up 1169 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: with his hands. Yeah. I'm not sure what to say 1170 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: on this. I'm what looking what the Rams are doing. 1171 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: They ran like a zone blitz. They bring someone off 1172 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 1: the corner. They drop a defensive lineman. So they must 1173 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: think we're going to the flood side, our right side, 1174 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: where there's three wide receivers. I'm going you're gonna leave 1175 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: this guy all alone with DK metcalf down in the 1176 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 1: red zone. You gotta be kidding me, and you're right 1177 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,919 Speaker 1: in the corner. For whatever he misjudges this, and even 1178 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,840 Speaker 1: if he didn't, it's going to be a jump ball. 1179 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 1: I mean it's at worst, it's incomplete pass. I'm just 1180 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 1: impressed that Gino found the matchup he liked. He recognized 1181 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: what they were doing. He didn't pan it because it 1182 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 1: looks like they're about to send five or six guys. 1183 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:49,920 Speaker 1: I think he recognized what the coverage was as well, 1184 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: which it took me fifteen times to rewind it. I'm 1185 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 1: still not one hundred percent sure, but I think they 1186 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 1: just said we're gonna play man up on the backside. 1187 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna flood everybody else over to our offensive right side. YO, touchdown, 1188 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: and you know, look, Metcalf, we need to throw more 1189 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,440 Speaker 1: of these up there. Where the worst is going to 1190 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 1: happen is an incomplete best touchdown, next best PI. Yeah, 1191 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: I think Geno's a guy. I think I think Shane 1192 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 1: Waldrons he's got an easier job this week. He's got 1193 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 1: an easier job. All right, we shall see, Okay, when 1194 01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 1: we return, we'll go around the NFL. Man, it's been 1195 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,040 Speaker 1: a long week for Raiders in John Gruden, Urban Myers 1196 01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,720 Speaker 1: has some lofty goals. Are the Chiefs in trouble? We'll 1197 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,800 Speaker 1: talk about all that right here on Hawks Live. Welcome 1198 01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 1: back to Hawks Live. I'm Michael Bumps hanging out with 1199 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Paul Moyer. We're going around the NFL, And it's been 1200 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 1: a crazy week in the NFL, especially when you talk 1201 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 1: about John Gruden and the Raiders. Now we all know 1202 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,240 Speaker 1: he offended about everybody in the book. No one walked 1203 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: away from this not feeling some type of way when 1204 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 1: it comes to Gruden, those emails and everything that went down. 1205 01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 1: So but we're not gonna spend a lot of time 1206 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: on that, right he's been beat up all week. We 1207 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: want to get down to the team aspect of this thing. 1208 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: Where does these team go from here? Right now? The 1209 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:09,200 Speaker 1: interim head coach a special team's coach, Rick Besacha thirty 1210 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 1: eight years in the league. He has been around different 1211 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 1: organizations for a while. There's some guys on this team 1212 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: who are qualified to be head coach. You got Tom Cable, 1213 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: you got Gus Bradley. I mean, there's some other dudes there, 1214 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: but they decide to go with the special teams guy. 1215 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: Why do you think they go with Rich? Yeah, they 1216 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,439 Speaker 1: got Rod Marinelli as well. There's a lot of guys 1217 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: that head coaching experience there. I've been around special team 1218 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 1: coaches that command a presence in a room, and more importantly, 1219 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 1: they're used to talking to the whole team because you 1220 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 1: have offensive and defensive guys on special teams that you're addressing. 1221 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 1: It's the one position coach that does that. Everybody else 1222 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 1: takes either you know, their defensive side, offense side, or 1223 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 1: position side. But I think in this situation more than anything, 1224 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 1: because obviously you know Gus Bradley could handle that situation, 1225 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 1: I think it's the least disruptive. It's one of those 1226 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 1: do you go from an offensive coordinator to a defense 1227 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 1: or defensive coordinator to a head coach. It's just the 1228 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: amount of time your game plan. And so now I 1229 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 1: go and take on a head coaching role, I've got 1230 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,800 Speaker 1: to delegate other people to take on some of my role. 1231 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 1: And it's just you know, it's a trickle down effect there. 1232 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 1: It's a lot of moving parts. This is an easy 1233 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: moving part. Special team coach has a lease amount of 1234 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,720 Speaker 1: time with them, has a lease amount of time really 1235 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,320 Speaker 1: to do things. It's more about practice, prep and being organized. 1236 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 1: And I think in today's game it's even less now. 1237 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't put as much emphasis on kickoffs 1238 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 1: and kickoff returns. So I think that's it. And maybe 1239 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: this guy's dynamic, I don't. I don't know him. I 1240 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 1: couldn't say his name if you said it to me again, 1241 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 1: I do like it. But thirty eight years in the 1242 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 1: game that has I mean, I know we got other 1243 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 1: guys here with head coaching experience, but thirty eight years 1244 01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: says something, you make a good point. He can talk 1245 01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,720 Speaker 1: to the team, and as a special team's coach, I mean, 1246 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: you'd take your work home. But it's not like you 1247 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: are just man, what am I gonna do on third 1248 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 1: and five when they when this defense does this, and 1249 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: you're not really scratching your head too much. As a 1250 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: special teams guy, you run what you run, you defend 1251 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 1: what they defend, and then you kind of move on. 1252 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,400 Speaker 1: So now as a player, if I'm a player now, 1253 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: you've heard guys like Josh Jacobs speak out and say, look, man, 1254 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: I like the dude. He wasn't bad to me. I've 1255 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,840 Speaker 1: been here a couple of years. You hear what Derek 1256 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: Carr said. He goes, look, man, I love the man, 1257 01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 1: but you just can't talk like that if you are 1258 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 1: a leader in this locker room. You guys were three 1259 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 1: and at one point you're one of the hottest teams 1260 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,480 Speaker 1: in the league. You lose two in a row. Yeah, 1261 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 1: your coach is caught up in this scandal. Where do 1262 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 1: you go from here? Well, I think you got to 1263 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: find somebody that the team trust, you know, I mean 1264 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: to the core. You know, there's there's gonna be things creep, 1265 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 1: doubt creeping on everybody. What do you really say about 1266 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,560 Speaker 1: behind my back? And by the way, we may be 1267 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,680 Speaker 1: talking about this every week because what the NFL did, 1268 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 1: they opened up a can of worms, gonna open up 1269 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: every email and we're gonna go back as far And 1270 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 1: by the way, what he did is wrong, But twenty 1271 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: years ago there's been a lot of wrong. Yeah, the 1272 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 1: culture of the NFL of the world is definitely changing, 1273 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 1: and he is caught up in all of that stuff. 1274 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: You heard him. A lot of players say he's a 1275 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 1: good dude, but what he said is what he said, 1276 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: and it is leaked and now he has to deal 1277 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: with it. Now. Another coach has been dealing with some 1278 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: stuff this year. Urban Myers man, you know, he had 1279 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 1: his deal a couple of weeks ago about him staying 1280 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: home and hanging out at a bar whatnot. But he's 1281 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 1: got some lofty goals this year for an on five 1282 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: Jaguars team. You know, I like our identity right now, 1283 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,080 Speaker 1: if you say, what's the identity the Jacksonville Jaguar offense, 1284 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: it's a physical offense that runs the ball and balance. 1285 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,480 Speaker 1: You know, our goals all is two fifty two fifty. 1286 01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 1: I want to say we were two fifty two hundred. 1287 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: You know, that's what we want to be. Our tailbacks 1288 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,240 Speaker 1: are running hard, both of them. I don't think he 1289 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,480 Speaker 1: met two fifty too fair. I think he met We 1290 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 1: used to be two fifty fifty in college. Now we 1291 01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 1: want that balance. But look right now, he's making so 1292 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 1: many mistakes and it's just you go, what are you doing? 1293 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't look like he's having fun. It doesn't look 1294 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 1: like he enjoys. I think the only thing he does 1295 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,920 Speaker 1: care about is don't lose. I don't even think he 1296 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: cares about winning. I've never seen somebody who's that stressed 1297 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 1: out about everything. And you know, he doesn't control the 1298 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 1: things like he used to do in college. You get 1299 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: the best players, you're gonna win eighty percent of your games. 1300 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 1: You do a decent job of coaching and motivating, you 1301 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: start winning ninety percent of your games. He's he's a 1302 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 1: good Motivator's proven that with younger people. These are adults. 1303 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: It's it's even across the board. You have to learn 1304 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,040 Speaker 1: how to deal with losses. You have to, and no 1305 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: one likes it, but you have to. He looks whooped. 1306 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,919 Speaker 1: I don't think we'll do talk to talk next week. 1307 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 1: Does he make it through the through the year? Jac said, 1308 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: he said he might not make it the next two 1309 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: or three weeks. Well, I'll disagree with that, but I 1310 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 1: think this latest scandal, man, it's just leaders I'll go 1311 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,120 Speaker 1: back to the Gruden thing. So I've you know this week. 1312 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,360 Speaker 1: You know it's been brought up a bunch. People in 1313 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 1: leadership are absolutely hell to a higher standard and you 1314 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 1: have to. You are leading people. They can't doubt you 1315 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. They have to know not just to 1316 01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: trust that, I truly trust you that you're fighting for 1317 01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,040 Speaker 1: me ever and you have your the very best for 1318 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:29,480 Speaker 1: not just me but everybody. I thought the guy from 1319 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: the Charger's head coach, his was awesome today and he's 1320 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: stay late and he's a young man, but you know, 1321 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 1: sometimes maturity isn't just in years, you know, really mature 1322 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:46,120 Speaker 1: and just so yeah, yeah, it's just yeah. Anyways, I 1323 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,480 Speaker 1: think Urban Myers is um he's he's he'll be done 1324 01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: by the end of the year. Just right now, you're two, 1325 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 1: eighteen past one twenty nine run you're one five. I 1326 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 1: think he's digging deep into what cliche and I say 1327 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 1: this week, what can I do to get these guys going? 1328 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 1: You know what you can do? Motivated thirty five year old, 1329 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 1: You get your butt back on the plane, You come 1330 01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 1: back to work. You addressed the team on a Monday, 1331 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: your game plan. You show up every day. You show 1332 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,160 Speaker 1: them I'm oh in five, we are O in five. 1333 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,320 Speaker 1: But my worth ethic does not change because these grown 1334 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 1: man can sniff that stuff out. You can sniff it 1335 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: out as an eighteen year old, but you can't say nothing. 1336 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: You're there, You're you are locked into that program. Four 1337 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 1: years different now transperportal, but traditionally you're locked in. You 1338 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 1: can't do that. We're grown man. You couldn't have flown 1339 01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,640 Speaker 1: home with the team, taking your private jet back to Ohio. Crazy. 1340 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 1: We used to let players off if they were close 1341 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: to home. When we were on a road game and something, 1342 01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 1: we'd let a couple of them go from there. It 1343 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 1: made sense most of them. We still made it go 1344 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 1: back team to the facility because we needed to do training, 1345 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 1: and we rarely gave the guys the first day off. 1346 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: We gave him. You know, after that, unless you're on 1347 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 1: a huge winning streak. It's just beyond weird to me. 1348 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,760 Speaker 1: And so he's lost that team. I don't think he 1349 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: which in two or three weeks. I don't think they 1350 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 1: fire him. But he's just made two mistakes. He'll be 1351 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 1: gone by the end of the year. Before we get 1352 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,080 Speaker 1: out of here. Though he said what he said. He 1353 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 1: said two fifty for two fifty. And here's the thing. 1354 01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: He did that twenty times when he was at Ohio State, right, 1355 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: So he could have been thinking about that, but he 1356 01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: said it in the quote. You know, we had two 1357 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 1: fifty and two hundreds, so he's thinking about it. Just 1358 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 1: for context, r everyone listening out there, that has happened. 1359 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 1: Let me count one time in the history of the 1360 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 1: National Football League. Okay, that's someone that a team has 1361 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: done that. There's only been excuse me, there's been fifty 1362 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 1: two times where that's happened. Ever. But the fact that 1363 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 1: someone's averaged that one, come on, man, it's it can't happen. 1364 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen. He said what he said, he was 1365 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: wrong and I'm telling you, Bump, if I said that 1366 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:43,840 Speaker 1: to you in the locker room, what are he's saying 1367 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,439 Speaker 1: back to me? That'd be like saying we're for sure 1368 01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 1: going seventeen or now I'm shaking my head. But you 1369 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,120 Speaker 1: know what he's doing this region for the stars. You 1370 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 1: might land on the moon. He ain't landing on the 1371 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: moon either though. He got gotta have a gotta have 1372 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,320 Speaker 1: a dream. But sometimes we used to we used to say, 1373 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: but make him realistic. Yeah, and that's maybe where he is. 1374 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:05,120 Speaker 1: All right, make them realistic here. Okay, when we return, 1375 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna recap this show. We'll give you final thoughts 1376 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 1: and the keys to victory. That's next right here on 1377 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:14,479 Speaker 1: Hawks Live, Hawks Live every Thursday. Time to put a 1378 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,000 Speaker 1: bow in this thing. Me and my guy Paul Moyer 1379 01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 1: have been holding down for almost two hours. Now it's 1380 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: time to what do these guys need to do? The Hawks? 1381 01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, what do they need to do to 1382 01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 1: beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. They're thirty first against the past, 1383 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,759 Speaker 1: they're thirtieth against the run somewhere around there. Flip those numbers, 1384 01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They're thirty second overall on defense. How 1385 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 1: do we fix this. Well, stats are more important people 1386 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:48,120 Speaker 1: locally and their team. You know, we're looking at we're 1387 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 1: thirty second and what are we against the rush? They're thirty, 1388 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: twenty ninth, whatever the number is. And then we happen 1389 01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 1: to go look at the Chargers, and the Chargers I 1390 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 1: have a great coach and one of the best minds 1391 01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 1: on defense. Their thirty second yards a game against the rush, 1392 01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 1: thirty second yard average rush and this guy is anybody 1393 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: thinking their defense is lousy? So so my point is 1394 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 1: we hone in on stats more here. So what do 1395 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 1: we have to do? Wellok, we just need to start 1396 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: making the key downs a key player. We gotta start 1397 01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: coming up more with those than they do. I mentioned 1398 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 1: this earlier. We have three plays last week that costs 1399 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: US twenty one points. We scored a touchdown, Dwayne Brown 1400 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,080 Speaker 1: got a holding penalty on him. One of our highest 1401 01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: paid best players, Tyler Lockett, runs a double move wide open. 1402 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna go double digit leads. Russell overthrows him. I 1403 01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,479 Speaker 1: get it, he had pressure into breaking his hand on 1404 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 1: the throw, but he overthrew him on that I'm not 1405 01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,200 Speaker 1: underthrew him. So he missed that throw. And then the 1406 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,759 Speaker 1: Jamal Adam wins uncover two again. To me, he needed 1407 01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,280 Speaker 1: better help technique from the corners and everything, because it's 1408 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,920 Speaker 1: too bad. We had a great pass rush on that 1409 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,160 Speaker 1: play from LJ. Callier. That's an interception at worst, we 1410 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: knock it down, we get off the field that we 1411 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta lead, and now we're giving up. 1412 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: We get and they end up getting a touchdown on 1413 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: that drive. That's twenty one points on three plays. Now, 1414 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 1: if we make those three plays, we're not even having 1415 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,479 Speaker 1: this conto. We gotta we gotta make three big plays 1416 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,880 Speaker 1: in this game on Sunday, and it's a rat. Well, 1417 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 1: we I had a coach. I always said, there's five 1418 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,440 Speaker 1: big plays in a game that are fifty fifty situations 1419 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:32,559 Speaker 1: or as I mentioned, you got a touchdown, you gotta 1420 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 1: holding penalty, it's a big You gotta come up with 1421 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 1: three of those five. Well, I just gave you three, 1422 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: so I know we didn't win those five, right, Yeah, 1423 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 1: And that's often what the game comes down too, because 1424 01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:45,360 Speaker 1: it wasn't like the Rams whooped up on us. I mean, 1425 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,679 Speaker 1: we're up seven to three at halftime. We really again, 1426 01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,840 Speaker 1: we should have been up fourteen to three. We missed 1427 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,759 Speaker 1: a field goal, I mean, got a touchdown call back. 1428 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,120 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if people forget this stuff, 1429 01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 1: do they honestly do? You know? But those are huge 1430 01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 1: moments in a game. And now we start saying, okay, 1431 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,520 Speaker 1: what's wrong here, what's okay, let's look at the statistics. 1432 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,679 Speaker 1: We can't stop anybody. We I thought we played pretty. 1433 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 1: We did play well in the first half, and they 1434 01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,280 Speaker 1: got us on a couple of drives. In the second half. 1435 01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 1: We just ran They ran a couple of routes. We 1436 01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,799 Speaker 1: just didn't adjust here. You can't so you can't ignore 1437 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,360 Speaker 1: the statistics, but you can't dwell on them because it 1438 01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,800 Speaker 1: doesn't tell you exactly what happens in a football game. 1439 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,640 Speaker 1: A football game isn't like baseball. Word the data is 1440 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: so important, right. We've seen teams out gain a team 1441 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 1: and still lose the football game. We've seen a team 1442 01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle and still lose a football game. 1443 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 1: I think football is a little different now. For this 1444 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 1: offense to get going, we used to say kiss right, 1445 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,559 Speaker 1: keep it simple, silly silly is I changed that word 1446 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 1: because I might get caught up ten years from now 1447 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,600 Speaker 1: from saying that other word. I might get fired. So 1448 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: it's keep it simple, silly. I think that's what you 1449 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,639 Speaker 1: gotta do on offense. Just keep it simple. I mean, 1450 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:03,360 Speaker 1: in simple means that it's doing what we want. It's 1451 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,679 Speaker 1: the Hawks to do anyway, is get the full ball 1452 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: out of your hands quickly and run it and put 1453 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,160 Speaker 1: drives together. But the defense is going to have to 1454 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,679 Speaker 1: make a couple of plays this game. For these guys 1455 01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: who win this ball game, I think, Man, I don't 1456 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:21,000 Speaker 1: know if I think we will. I'm optimistic that they're 1457 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:25,360 Speaker 1: gonna rise to the occasion. I think losing Russell Wilson 1458 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 1: makes everybody hyper focus. It's like, you know, an injured animal, right, 1459 01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 1: You're dangerous at that point. There's nowhere to go but 1460 01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: go to play well. I mean, this is what you're 1461 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,439 Speaker 1: paid to do. You don't have to worry about mistakes anymore. 1462 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 1: Your best player or most important player, Russell Wilson's not 1463 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 1: on the team, and so you cannot put all the 1464 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,680 Speaker 1: pressure on Geno Smith on this defense. You gotta go 1465 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 1: win games. We gotta get turnover, we gotta get stops. 1466 01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 1: We gotta stop having so many first downs. We gotta 1467 01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 1: give our offense a ton of opportunities I hope we 1468 01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,599 Speaker 1: can run the football. This would be a great game 1469 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 1: for it, you know, if we if we're not running 1470 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 1: it well and we're you know, it's two downs and 1471 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,240 Speaker 1: now it's third down to six, third down to six. 1472 01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you're putting a lot of pressure on Geno. 1473 01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,320 Speaker 1: He's capable of doing it. We've got all the skill 1474 01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:16,280 Speaker 1: players in the world. This game, this game is probably 1475 01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: the most critical game of the year to make the playoffs, 1476 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 1: because I believe if they win, they win the next two. 1477 01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, we're feeling pretty good 1478 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 1: about ourselves. You know, we're five and three, We're going 1479 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,080 Speaker 1: into a bye week, you know, with nine games to play, 1480 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 1: maybe we get Russell back confidence in the defense, kind 1481 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: of like last year we started to see, Yeah, that's 1482 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 1: the hope. I don't know yet in my heart of hearts, 1483 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 1: if I completely believe it. Yet, I feel like we're 1484 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:46,600 Speaker 1: gonna know. A quarter into this game, I think we 1485 01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,560 Speaker 1: do a pretty decent job. And you know, I'm not 1486 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 1: even gonna say that because we've been wrong, because halftime 1487 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:54,760 Speaker 1: we going up seven three, But even last week was 1488 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 1: the last week they go into up in halftime seven 1489 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,880 Speaker 1: and three. Last couple of weeks and you even said, like, yeah, 1490 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,040 Speaker 1: they're up, but I don't like the way they have 1491 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,439 Speaker 1: been playing. Um again another way, stats will full you. 1492 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 1: The score will full you sometimes like, oh, well they 1493 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,360 Speaker 1: were up, but they weren't playing the best football. A 1494 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,400 Speaker 1: couple breaks go their way. You miss a field goal. Here, 1495 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 1: look at the forty nine is game. You miss a 1496 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,799 Speaker 1: field goal, you miss a pat you get a drop 1497 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: on a kick return by cannon number forty eight or 1498 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 1: forty nine. You take advantage of those things. But we 1499 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: look at the stats and the forty nine is win 1500 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 1: that game. Let me ask you this. You go on 1501 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 1: the road, and the way we've won over the last 1502 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,560 Speaker 1: few years, been one of the best road teams in football. 1503 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,280 Speaker 1: But it takes usually a special leader to lead you 1504 01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 1: in there because and it takes special leader to lead 1505 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,120 Speaker 1: at the end to win games. And we're not gonna 1506 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,160 Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson. And he's the emotional he believes, I mean, 1507 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: he believes when they get on that plane and they land, 1508 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:50,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna win this game. And while he may be there, 1509 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be more as a cheerleader. How big is that? 1510 01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:58,639 Speaker 1: Just losing that emotional leader into these terrible yellow towels 1511 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,280 Speaker 1: being waived all over the play. Yeah, I think that's 1512 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 1: big because you look at Russell Wilson and he makes 1513 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:05,840 Speaker 1: you believe like, yeah, we got a chance to win 1514 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,599 Speaker 1: this game. I think you these players look at Gino 1515 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, we can win, but we gotta make 1516 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 1: sure we have his back. Instead of the other way 1517 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:15,479 Speaker 1: arounds where Russell is going to get us out of 1518 01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 1: some stuff. We're like, look, we gotta be ready to 1519 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 1: help Gino out when he needs some help. And this 1520 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: is where the defense you're right, as you just said, man, 1521 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 1: that's that you're that leader has to come out loud 1522 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,880 Speaker 1: and strong and back it up. And I'll get I 1523 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,799 Speaker 1: have one example. We lost Kenny easily and Jeff Bryant 1524 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:37,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go how far back too, fantastic football player. 1525 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,200 Speaker 1: We had a ton of injuries, playing horrible. We just 1526 01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: we were five and six, lost three games in a row, 1527 01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:47,040 Speaker 1: and we we were, you know, a Super Bowl contender. 1528 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,320 Speaker 1: They went down, We had a short week, played on 1529 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 1: a Thursday night, or actually played Philadelphia, played ugly and 1530 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,720 Speaker 1: they weren't very good that year, and beat him at 1531 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 1: the last second, and we went on a role. We 1532 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 1: won five games. We couldn't be stopped. The offense. Dave 1533 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Craig and them just said, hey, you guys, just do 1534 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: your thing. We're gonna score in every possession, and they 1535 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:12,639 Speaker 1: believed it. When I'm barely kidding. They scored on almost 1536 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,800 Speaker 1: every possession in the last four games of the year. 1537 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 1: They were that hot. And then our defense man we 1538 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,880 Speaker 1: rallied around that too. So it takes somebody from the 1539 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 1: other side when you lose your leaders to say it, 1540 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, because the offensive guys said yeah, Gino can 1541 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 1: say yeah, but it's the other side that's really got 1542 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,880 Speaker 1: to step it up. Yeah. I don't need the offense staff. 1543 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: I just needed to keep playing as is. So I 1544 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,840 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be fascinating to see how that we've 1545 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,840 Speaker 1: we've never experienced it without Russell, first time, first time everything. 1546 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 1: Who's gonna step up on that defense and lead the way? Man, 1547 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,760 Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys hanging out.
