1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Seven o'clock on a Thursday. You know what time it is.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Paul Moyer's time for a Hawks Live. Oh, Michael Bump

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: is here with Paul Moyer. How you doing, Moyer? It's Thursday.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: By the way, the Mariners are Boston lost today. It's

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: just for those out there, just make sure you're all

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: aware of that. And we are now officially tied in

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the wild Card. Yeah, pretty exciting. It is exciting. You know,

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: this is Seahawks Hawks Live. But you know it's good

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: for the Northwest. It can't always be just the Seahawks

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks. You know, everybody you know is on

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: board for for both of these. So so I'm doing

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: pretty well, but I'm still licking my wounds from last week.

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: It was tough, Bump. It was a tough one for

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: analysts like us to really go through this game and

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: try and fix things. And right now there's a lot

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: to fix, particularly on defense. Lots to fix on defense.

17
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Now there's an elephant in this room right now. People

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: want to plays blame. Is it the offense, is it

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: the defense? The coaches, the players? I mean, you can

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: go any direction with this. I feel like everyone has

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: played a role in this right. In this one and

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: two start, everyone took their turn kind of not living

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: up to expectations. So I'm going to ask you the

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: question I've ben't asked all week, Paul Moyer, What do

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: we do? Where do we go from here? Well, let's

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: let's start with this part. First of all, it's not

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: just the corner's fault. It's not just Trey Flowers fault.

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: You know, we play a lot of three deep zone.

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: This is it's certainly the back seven and at times

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: the back six. You know, we've been doing a lot

31
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: of five man front looks at tire bear bear look

32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: for those who like that terminology better. And the type

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: of zone defense we play, it takes everybody. I mean,

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: it takes the linebackers taking their proper drops, being in

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: the right spot to take away their ends, the turns

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: hold off those, and then you know, rally up to

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: check downs things like that. It takes, you know, the

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: coaches mixing things up to give the players the best

39
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to succeed. And last week was tough. And it's

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: not like each player's busting ten fifteen times a game.

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: You get a bust one time from really I think

42
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, he played a lot of different coverage and

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: everybody else have two times, maybe you know Jordan Brooks

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: where maybe just didn't quite you know, push out to

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: the turn or hook hook area. You get one here,

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: two there, and starts adding up and they got seven

47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: of those guys. Now it starts getting to fourteen twenty

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: one plays and Minnesota found at all. But we do

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta shore some things up in our second

50
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: in the past defense and our drops and how we're

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: crowding people along the way because we can have the

52
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: greatest pass rush in the world. The ball comes out

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: quick and we're not covering people. Obviously, it makes for

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: a long day, but there's there's a lot of things

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: they've got to go back, And to me, it's not

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: even just simplifying it. I don't think we're playing a

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: real comp plex defense right now. We play a lot

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: of zone. At times we blitz the times we send

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: five guys and play kind of a highbred zone defense

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: where the three guys inside kind of like quarters. You know,

61
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: for those who are a quarter people, it's usually take

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the three inside linebacker, safety, whoever they are, and they

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: crowd those three inside receivers and then you kind of

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: leave the corners a little bit isolated out out wide

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: or you give up some of those throws. So it

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: has some of that too. And you know they've been

67
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: reading us and they've got they had some really good

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: routes last week, but we just got to commit to

69
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: doing better pattern recognition. You know, again, a guy in

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: the flat, guy in the flat. Since you've been in

71
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: youth football, guys in the flat, you widen just a

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: little bit, but you got to know you're holding off

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: a turn or an end route coming behind you. You

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: just have I mean, it's just basic football and then

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: you rally to the other stuff. We're just there's just

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: a lot of again youthful mistakes and we've got to

77
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: get things tightened up by everybody. Lots of things going

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: on on the back end, second and third level, I'm

79
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 1: gonna say, and even down into the trenches, right, I mean,

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins had a lot of time to throw the

81
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: football last week, only sacked one time. Quarterback hits he

82
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: only was hit three or four times. I mean, you're

83
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: not getting to the quarterback and there's a lot of

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: space going on on the back end, so there's gonna

85
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: be a lot of success now the Hawks. Last year,

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: we're in the same predicament. Right Statistically, they are the

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: worst defense in the NFL. Last year they could say, look,

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: at least we're good against the run. They can't even

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: say that this year, Moyer. They are thirtieth against the run,

90
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: twenty six against the past. So it's like, you can't

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: be bad at both. You gotta find a way to

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: bring something to the table and be good at good

93
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: at one aspect of defense right now, and we're just

94
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: not seeing it. What I think though, I think that

95
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: there's enough when it comes to personnel on this team

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: to fix things right. I think everyone just has to

97
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: be on the same page. Doesn't mean that they're necessarily

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna get there right. Every NFL rousse or has talent,

99
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: but it takes the right combination of coaching, of scheme,

100
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: of players understanding what they're doing. Um, this is the

101
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: first time in maybe two or three years where I'm

102
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: legit concerned. I'm like, all right, this is this game

103
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: against the Niners. It's probably the biggest Week four game

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: I've ever covered for the seahofs Well. We haven't been

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: one and two since two thousand and eleven Pete's second year,

106
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, so you know, we're used to having success,

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: and obviously since uh Russell you know, has been here,

108
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, we haven't had those. Um here's what's two

109
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: and eighteen. We started one and two as well, because

110
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: we started owing two and we beat the Cowboys to

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: make it one and two. Obviously that team bounced back

112
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs, because when you're own two in

113
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: the Nation Football League, it's really hard to get the playoffs.

114
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: I think it's in like the fifteen percent ish range.

115
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: But that was the last time the Seahawks started one

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: and two. You know, I'm just I was reading somebody's

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: notes and you make the notes, but maybe I probably

118
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: read that one wrong. The difference between last year and things.

119
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: By the way, then last year and this year. Last year,

120
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: our defense played pretty well in the first half and

121
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: even pretty well into the middle and sometimes third quarter.

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: It was the fourth quarter. Yeah, you know, we did

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the statistic last year where you know, the Seahawks, if

124
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: you took the first three quarters and averaged it out,

125
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: you know, they would have been like in the top

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: five defense. But if you took the fourth quarter average

127
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: over those first you know, six seven games. They were

128
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: given up almost eight hundred yards a game, and so

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: we had huge leads at that time. So it was

130
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: really passing playing saft. Sometimes we gave up some big plays.

131
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: We started to tighten that thing up, but we started

132
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: off five and zero, and so you're you just go, okay,

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: We're we're okay against the run. We're playing good defense

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: to give our a chance for us to get these

135
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: big leads. This one, though, feels different because we're not

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: stopping the run. We're not stopping them early, these really

137
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: long sustained drives. Matter of fact, last week they had

138
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: five drives in a row, nine plays. Ninety year, it's

139
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: twelve plays, sixty six sixteen fifty eleven seventy twelve eighty

140
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: eight sixty plays in five drives. That's probably more than

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: we had, you know, in the whole game. And then

142
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: what's more important is the amount of time. And so

143
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: those five drives, you know, just adding that thing up,

144
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: you know, was well over twenty minutes, almost thirty minutes.

145
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's half the football game. So this

146
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: one's tough, I really And what changed last year as well, Bump,

147
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: was we decided to get more tight and can test

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the throws, and we started blitzing. We started putting pressure

149
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: on them, and I think we have to do that.

150
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I think it's really tough to play soft defense. You know, look,

151
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: Pete knows this stuff. Everybody out there. There's not one

152
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: dumb football coach on the Seahawks. These guys are smart guys.

153
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: They've worked hard to get where they are, and so

154
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: they just they got to correct some things. And sometimes

155
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: you go in with some personnel that you think it's right.

156
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: But we didn't play any starters really in preseason, so

157
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: you think you have it. And also you didn't get

158
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: into the regular season. You go, oh, this is how

159
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: people are scheming us. We gotta make some adjustments. The

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Hawks are gonna have to make some adjustments. So now

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna switch over to the offense. People are gonna say,

162
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: all right, what happened to this offense? That first half

163
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: they put up seventeen points. Things look good. The second

164
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: half they stall out. I'm gonna let you know what

165
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: happened that second half. The second half, the Vikings come out,

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: sixteen plays fifty yards. Talk about those longs drive that

167
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: you have. Then the Hawks get the ball. The Vikings

168
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: get a field goal. Off of that, the Hawks get

169
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: the ball, five players are out, they punt the football.

170
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: You are playing catch up. At this point. The Vikings

171
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: score thirty unanswered points. You're playing catch up. People are

172
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna say, why didn't Chris Carson touch the football? You

173
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: need to implement him into the game play. Yes, you do,

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: but when you were down, you can now run the

175
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: football six to eight times in the drive and expect

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: to keep time on the clock and get back in

177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: the game. You are forced to play a certain way.

178
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: And guess who knows you have to play a certain way.

179
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Zimmer on the other side, he goes, look, they're behind,

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to throw the football. We're gonna have

181
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: to We're gonna sit our guys back deep and anticipate

182
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. So it's hard to play catch up.

183
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: It's hard to be dynamic and play catch up when

184
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: you're behind. Yeah, it's frustrating because we've had now three

185
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: games in a row, we've had a double digit lead,

186
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: and we've squandered two of those and not just squanded,

187
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: squander them quickly. And that's we gotta start putting teams away.

188
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of positives though. You know, obviously, Chris

189
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: Carson's averaging four point nine yards per carry. Russell Wilson's

190
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: having just another phenomenal year, one hundred and thirty three

191
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: QB rating, He's got seven touchdowns, no interceptions. We just

192
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: got tightened up on defense. I think our offense is

193
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: explosive enough for us to win a lot of football games.

194
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: You talk about double digit leads in the last one

195
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one games, they have ten losses. When

196
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: they have double digit leads. Doesn't happen often, but we've

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: been seeing that a lot lately. Here two of them

198
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: this year, yeah, two of them. Yeah, it's been rough,

199
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: all right. When we get back, we got to look

200
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: forward to the forty nineties. We'll get an opponent preview

201
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: from Nick Wagner from ESPN dot com. Lots some more

202
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: to do here right here on Hawks Live. Welcome back

203
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: to Hawks Alive every Thursday, right here on seventeen ESPN

204
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: on Michael Bubbas here with Paul Moyer. Hawks are moving

205
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: on to the forty nine ers, and now we get

206
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: to talk to Nick Wagner from ESPN dot com. Nick,

207
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: how you doing I'm doing well? How are you guys.

208
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: We're doing okay man. Thanks for taking time out of

209
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: your data holloatus man. The Hawks are looking to bounce

210
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: back against the forty nine forty nine Ers are looking

211
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: to bounce back from a loss against the Green Bay

212
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: Packers in dramatic fashion. What's the temperature over there in

213
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco? Do they feel they have a good football

214
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: team here? And is there really a quarterback controversy going on? Well,

215
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting actually because I think as Week four games, Joe,

216
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to press the panic button,

217
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: but this is it feels like a pretty big Week

218
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: four game for both of these teams because I think

219
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: both of them are still trying to figure out kind

220
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: of what their identity is and who they're going to

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: be in twenty twenty one, and to answer a question,

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: to find out if they're absolutely good teams or not.

223
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: And when you look across the division, see the Cardinals

224
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: in the Rams playing this week, one of those teams,

225
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: barring as high, is going to get to four And

226
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: oh so, if the Seahawks lose this game, they're three

227
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: game back. If the Niners lose this game, they're two

228
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: games back in the division. Already and then you're facing

229
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: an uptill climate, a really tough division. So I think

230
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: from the forty nine Ers standpoint, they understand that this

231
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: is a big game. It's always a big game when

232
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: they played the Seahawks anyway, but coming off of a loss,

233
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: very disappointing loss, as you mentioned, I think that ratches

234
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: up the intensity in a little bit, and I think

235
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: they know that they're in a position and it's you know,

236
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: you don't want to say if the must win obviously

237
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: this early in the season, but it's about as close

238
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: as it can be for a Week four game. And

239
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: then as far as the quarterback controversy, you know, Kyle

240
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: Shanahan continues to say that it's not And I think

241
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: what's going to happen and you're going to continue to

242
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: see on that front, is as long as the forty

243
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: nine Ers are winning games and they have a waiting record,

244
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be Jimmy Garoppolo. But what's also

245
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: going to happen is that that drumbeat for Trey Lance

246
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: is going to get louder as long as the forty

247
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: nine Ers offense continues to do what it's done over

248
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, and I say that meaning really

249
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: slow starts in the first half, not scoring points in

250
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: until just before halftime each of the last two weeks.

251
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're turning it on a little bit in

252
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: the second half like they did against Green Bay. But

253
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: that inconsistency is only going to get people wanting to

254
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: see Trey Lance Moore and Ned Drumbee's only going to

255
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: continue to get louder. Yeah, two very different losses. You're

256
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, really struggle, did not play well you guys,

257
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: was a heartbreaking one. You know, we obviously don't have

258
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback controversy at all. Russell's their guy. But why

259
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garoppolo so polarizing on that All of the

260
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: guy has done is one when he's on the field,

261
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: he's played pretty well, maybe in some clutch situations, maybe

262
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: a struggle at times, But why why so polarizing when

263
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: is win loss records fantastic. Yeah, it's funny because I

264
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: think what you what you get now and this is

265
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: I think a product largely of social media where there's

266
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: not any room for gray area or nuance. Right, you're

267
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: either the best ever, you're the or your trash, and

268
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: there's no room in between, like that's kind of how

269
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: people seem to view it these days. And I think

270
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Garoppolo falls in between though, obviously, and there's

271
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that fall in between there. But

272
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: I think part of it is is forty nine ers

273
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: fans are accustomed to, or at least expect great things

274
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: from great quarterbacks, or from their quarterbacks, I should say,

275
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: and especially when you've got a guy Jimmy Garoppolo who's

276
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: making as much money as he is. But I think

277
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: what it really also boils down to is is that,

278
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of quarterbacks, when you

279
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: look at the elite guys that're like Russell up there,

280
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: or the Tom Brady's and Aaron Rodgers in the world,

281
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: they elevate the talent around them. And there's not a

282
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: lot of those guys out there, but the other guys,

283
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Garoppolo needs a lot of things around

284
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: him to be good for him to be at his

285
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: kind of maximum capacity, and so I think that part

286
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: that plays into it as well. But really, what you

287
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: have now is Jimmy Garoppolo at this point his career,

288
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: he just kind of is who he is, and that's fine.

289
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: He's a fine player, but you know, you also wants

290
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: to see somebody who can maybe raise the ceiling of

291
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: what their offense can be, which is why the forty

292
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: nine ers went out and got Trey Lance. Obviously, part

293
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: of that was Broppolo's injury history, but the other part

294
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: of that was Trey Lance gives them the higher ceiling

295
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: than what they already have offensively, and particularly now that

296
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: their defense isn't as dominant as it was in twenty nineteen.

297
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Nick I blame all the drama on Twitter fingers, those

298
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: dang Twitter fingers. Everyone has an opinion these days, all right.

299
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: So now, the last couple of years that Niners have

300
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: been hit with a lot of injuries. This year, it

301
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: looks like that running back position has been hit. How

302
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: do you assess that position and what are your thoughts

303
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: on Trey Sermons so far? Yeah, it's it's kind of

304
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: been what you expect. You know, the Niners, other than

305
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's first year, they have cycled through three or

306
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: four starting running backs just about every season, so they've

307
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of accounted for the possibility of injuries. Obviously,

308
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: running back in the position that lends itself to that,

309
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: but they've also put themselves in a position where they've

310
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: counted on a couple of guys who have lengthy injury histories.

311
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: And they did that at other positions too, But running

312
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: back being the topic we're talking about right now, where

313
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: he mosted is one of those guys. He gets injured

314
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: week one or sorry, week two, and all of a

315
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: sudden he's lost for the year and he's having surgery.

316
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Junior got injured standing up in his locker

317
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: room legitimately in spring. He's just standing up in the

318
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: locker room and he cares meniscus in his knee and

319
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: he's out till mid season. Jamichael Hasty trying to catch

320
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: a pitch, a simple pitch, high ankle sprain. He's out

321
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: for a period of time. So they've had that bad

322
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: run of bad luck injury wise for the whole team,

323
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: but running back seems to be the spot that has

324
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: really hit them the most, at least on offense. I'd

325
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: take corner on defense, but they still have other options.

326
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned Tray Sermon. You know he has been okay.

327
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: I think they gave him every opportunity that they could

328
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to let him kind of win the one B job

329
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: behind most during training camp and didn't really do it.

330
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, Elijah Mitchell, their sick round pick at the

331
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: University of Louisiana, kind of sort passed him. He's got

332
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more juice, a little bit more of

333
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: that home run ability that the Niners like in the

334
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: outside zone running game, So all those things kind of

335
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: factored in. But running game is not in the great

336
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: way right now. Guys. In the last two weeks they

337
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: have really struggled to run the ball. And as you

338
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: guys know that, it's a big part of what Kyle

339
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: Shanahan offense wants to do, and without it, it's contributed

340
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: a great amount through the struggles they've had offensively, particularly

341
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: early in games you mentioned twenty nineteen. There again, their defenses.

342
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: I think we know them for defense and a great

343
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: rivalry over the years because of that, and maybe they're

344
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: not as dominant now. It's kind of surprising because they

345
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: still got some big names. I mean, you still got Arms,

346
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: you still got you know, Nick Bosa, you still got

347
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Fred Warner. What's the biggest reason you think it's not

348
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: as dominant? And I'll throw the defensive coordinator Leavin as well,

349
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: but what are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean you you

350
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: hit on it right there. I think I think that

351
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: losing Robert Salaz it was probably their biggest loss of

352
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the off season. One thing I would have had for

353
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: sure is moving the Forrest fucker, who was just kind

354
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: of criminally underrated for a lot of his time with

355
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, and now just in the last

356
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: year or so since he got traded to the Colts

357
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: as kind of started to get the recognition that he

358
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: deserved as an all pro. But even just looking at

359
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: Nick Bolsa, if you watched Nick Vosa playing the last

360
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, teams are chipping him, throwing more attention

361
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: his way than they did in twenty nineteen. Part of

362
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: that he was rookie then, but having the forced Buckler

363
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: next to him certainly helped because you had to kind

364
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: of pick your poison. And Javon kim Law, who they

365
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: drafted to replace Buckner, hasn't really dumb. Neil lived up

366
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: to that expectations that he had let alone live up

367
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: to what Buckner was able to do. The other thing

368
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: I would say defensively that has set them back is

369
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: quite frankly, they just haven't made a lot of investments

370
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: at cornerback, and you know, they they went out and

371
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: had Richard Sherman for a couple of years, and obvious

372
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: in two nineteen he was really good. He's no longer here.

373
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: They resigned Jason Varette, who had a really good year

374
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: last year, but we know what his injury history is,

375
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: So if you're banking on him to be your number

376
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: one cornerback, there's inherent risk that comes with that. And

377
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: there's there's other guys at corner that had been banged up,

378
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: and you would just like to have seen them make

379
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: a more significant investment than just a third round pick

380
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: and a fifth round pick and couple of you know,

381
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: one year deals for corners in this off season particularly,

382
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: and they kind of try to replace Sherman. So I

383
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: think those are a few of the things that are

384
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 1: kind of at play here. I think they still, like

385
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned, they still have a lot of talent. They

386
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: should still be good enough. But I think the difference

387
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: is this defense isn't going to be an elite defense

388
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: like that twenty nineteen group was, which seems the offense

389
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: has to pick up the slack, and that's where I

390
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: think the Trey Lansbacker comes into trying to elevate that

391
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: feeling to kind of make up the difference there. Nick,

392
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard, but there's a there's

393
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: two receivers out here that are pretty good, Dk Metcalf

394
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett. But San Francisco they have two of

395
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: the row man you got Brennan I Yuk and Deebo Samuel.

396
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: How excited is this franchise about the potential these two

397
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: young receivers. Well, I think Samuel in particular is a

398
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: guy that they love what he's done. And really if

399
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: you look at him this year, it's like watching a

400
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: different player in some ways because as you guys know,

401
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of came into the league. It's more of

402
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: a gadget guy. I mean, comparable to Percy Harvin. What

403
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: Percy Harvin was up there in Seattle, and know he

404
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: wasn't a well rounded receiver. So they were really fine

405
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: different ways to get him the ball. But when it

406
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: came time to you know, run a fourteen yard did

407
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: round him third and thirteen, He's not necessarily the guy

408
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: that's doing that. That was want to trade for Emmanuel

409
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: Standards the two thousand and nine you know, part of

410
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: why they did that. But Gibo has really kind of

411
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: reshaped his body. He's put a lot of work into

412
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: route running. He's just a more complete receiver, which makes

413
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: him in turn, a more complete player, and it gives

414
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: the Niners a lot more ability to get him the

415
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: ball in different ways. And you're seeing that his target share,

416
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I think it's something like thirty five point seven percent

417
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: of his routes run he's getting the ball on, which

418
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: is extraordinarily high for a guy on a team with

419
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: George Kittle and Brandon I you gone on. And also,

420
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: so he's really taking a step forward, or at least

421
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: appears to be. He's in much better shape. I think

422
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: that's going to help him, you know, potentially stay healthy,

423
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: maybe not taking as maybe risks in terms of kind

424
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: of you know, trying to run through guys as much.

425
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: Another part of that. And then Brandon had has had

426
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: kind of an up and down you know, the summer

427
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: and leading into the first part of this season, but

428
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: starting to kind of come around a little bit. I

429
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: think they wanted to light a fire under him a

430
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: little bit because he didn't play a whole lot in

431
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: Week one. But he's starting to kind of get back

432
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: into that role that they envisioned for him. So I

433
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get it going. He just maybe needed

434
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: a little fire lid under him. And I'm sure as

435
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 1: he watches Debo continue to ascend, that's got a kind

436
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: of factor into getting him to up and run in

437
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: his wall. Nick strong stuff man. We appreciate your time definitely.

438
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: All right, I was Nick Wagoner for me. It's being

439
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: dot Com Nichol's own point man. He's ready to go,

440
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: all right. When we returned, we will chat with defensive

441
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: tackle Robert him Deici right here on Hawks Live. Welcome

Speaker 1: a seahawk every week. Today we get to talk to

445
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: Robert him Dechi. Robert, how are you doing many doing?

446
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm doing well. How are you doing? Good? Man?

447
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Nice to hear from you. Now. I'm I'm gonna take

448
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: you back to high school man, because I was I

449
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: was a top one hundred prospect coming out of high school.

450
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: But then I look at you and you just you know,

451
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: you just did your thing, man, number one prospect overall?

452
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 1: How was that in high school being a number one,

453
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's coming at you, giving you their best shot.

454
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: How is it just having that prestige? And so it was, Uh,

455
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: it was it was. It was a blessing, you know,

456
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: to be able to be in that position and and

457
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: and to be able to play you know, all the

458
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: all the people I did play, being the number one

459
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,199

581
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: what's the vibe? It's team right now? Um, I think

582
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: from from from what I from from this week and

583
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,960

00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: just I just think we're just trying to get better.

594
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: And so that's what's important. So so Robert, you a

595
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: Southern kid, you know, down in Georgia, you end up

598
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: So two two questions. One, what do you like to

599
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: do away from football? And how you like in Seattle.

600
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: It's got to be very different from the other states

601
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: that you were you were in, Um, well, uh, Seattle

602
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: is um it's uh, it's well, I mean compared to Miami.

603
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: Is They're all different because just you know, the the

604
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: just the whole you know, demographic of they they're all

605
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: just different. But um, Seattle, you know, the opportunity I

606
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: have with the Seahawks. I feel like I can appreciate

612
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: about it. So I mean it's cool, it's it's cool.

613
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: And I still I haven't got a round to go

614
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: really experience you know, all of Seattle, but I'll get

615
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: there eventually. But um, yeah, it's it's it's been great

Speaker 1: so far. So well, Robert, I'll let you know where.

617
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,760

630
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna talk to the professor John Clayton. We're gonna talk Seahawks, NFL,

631
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff right here on Hawks Lot.

632
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to hot Slive. It's seven forty five. You

633
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: hit a funk. You know what time it is, John Clayton,

634
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Hey, how are we doing? How are

635
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: we doing? We're doing good? Man? How are you good? Good?

636
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: All right? Now I'm watching the Jags versus the Bengals

637
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: aka Clemson versus LSU. What are your thoughts? These aren't

638
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: two very good teams. But it's an actually better game

639
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: than I thought it was going to be. You know,

640
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, Trevor Lawrence did well in the

641
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: first half. He's struggling in the second half. But now

642
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: you can see that Cincinnati, who got off such a

643
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: bad start, really came back quickly with that beginning drive

644
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: at the second quarter, getting getting it tied up. So

645
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: it makes for an interesting game. But I mean, these

646
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: are two teams are going to be so far down

647
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: in the standings, Jacksonville lower than anything else. I think,

648
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, the interesting part is whether Trevor Lawrence can

649
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: get his first victory in the NFL. Johnna stood up

650
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: for this segment just for you. I got off the seat. Hey.

651
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: A lot of talk obviously, Josh Gordon earlier this way

652
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: actually Monday, and some people have said the Seahawks may

653
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: have dragged their feet on this one or something, but

654
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Why do you think he ended

655
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: up in Kansas City and not here? Don't know the answer,

656
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: because I guess maybe he was thinking he has a

657
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: chance to go to a team with Patrick Mahomes and

658
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, it may be a better team than Seattle.

659
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: And because I'm surprised, totally surprised, because I know not

660
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: that they've been in contact, because again they couldn't, but

661
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: they were interested, and I think they were planning on

662
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: him coming in and signing the practice squad contract. And

663
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: sure enough, Kansas City gets him to the practice squad

664
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: contract and he doesn't come, which I think is a

665
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: loss for this team because he'd be a good addition.

666
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: I know years ago he was a former pro bowler.

667
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: He'd fit in with Russell Wilson. And I don't know

668
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: if it's a matter that Patrick Mahomes did some recruiting

669
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: of him or not, but in the end, it was

670
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: a surprise that he didn't end up in Seattle, because

671
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: he lives in Seattle. Well that was the that's the surprise.

672
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he and Russell, I think have worked out

673
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: together things like that, So I think people thought for

674
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: sure he was going to come here. I mean Pete

675
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: even talked about it once. He had been on Excuse Me,

676
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: John Schneider on our show on Sunday. He talked a

677
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: little bit about it once. They said he was gonna

678
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: be reinstated, and then boom, Monday morning, he's in Kansas City.

679
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: I just that one, really, I think threw a lot

680
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: of people off. It did, and I think it threw

681
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks off a lot too, because you know, they

682
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: kind of I mean again, they weren't tipping their hand

683
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: to the media one way or another what they were

684
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: going to do. But I think clearly they were tipping

685
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: their hand to Josh Gordon as an agents, and maybe

686
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: he was his agents who talked him into going to

687
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. That very well could be the case. But

688
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the end, I mean, they were anticipating

689
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: on Monday he was going to get totally cleared, and

690
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: then on Monday he was going to sign the practice

691
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: squad here in Seattle. Because he had been vaccinated, there

692
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: was no delay in getting him into any kind of

693
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: a building or anything of that nature. So no, it's

694
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: a surprise and an upset. And again, you know, they

695
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: got maybe a little bit too late into the mix

696
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: for Richard Sherman and they didn't get him, and so

697
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: he goes down to Tampa Bay. John. Everyone's talking about

698
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: the Seahawk defense right now. Is it the d line,

699
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: the linebackers, the dbs. Personally, I think it's a group project.

700
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: I think they're felling all together right now. But you

701
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: can kind of look at the secondary and point some

702
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: things out. Do you think Sidney Jones gets a shot

703
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: this week? I think he does. I mean, because you know,

704
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers continues to struggle. There's this continued struggle right

705
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: now with the linebackers matching up with the cornerbacks. As

706
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: far as coverage. You know, so many things are open

707
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. I mean, you saw

708
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins take advantage of it more than just about

709
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: any quarterback they've faced in the last couple of years.

710
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, because they've got to do

711
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: something to get things right, and you know, obviously the

712
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: pass rush has to be better. They're going against a

713
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: pretty decent San Francisco defensive line. But here's the interesting

714
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: thing when you look at it. Okay, so Seattle secondary

715
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: has not done well, what do you see from San Francisco?

716
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: Second dear? I mean, right now, how many guys are left?

717
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know they're sitting there. They've got you know,

718
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: they lost Jason Verrett for the season with an acl

719
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: Uh you know, they don't have uh K One Williams

720
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: because he's gonna miss with a knee injury. Then uh,

721
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: you know you got I can't imagine it. I can't.

722
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that they're gonna be able to get

723
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Josh Norman out there with a bleeding lung? He had

724
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: a bleeding lung last week? How can he be out

725
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: there in a week? I can't imagine that. And so

726
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I mean, you have, you know,

727
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: a couple of draft choices, a third and a six

728
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: round draft choice. I mean, you've got a couple of

729
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: veteran guys like Drake Kert Patrick, he's won and you

730
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 1: know they've they picked up, you know, Broughtbuster Scott Scrines.

731
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, if you really think about it,

732
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: if you want to say that the Seahawks are not

733
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: in good shape at the cornerback position, I would contend

734
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: to say that the forty nine ers, they were in

735
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: worse shape normally one and two going into Week four,

736
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: and particularly with a seventeen games or season. Now, you

737
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't think this is a must win. But this division

738
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: is so difficult. So do you think this is a

739
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: must win for the Seahawks It. I mean, if it

740
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: was any other division, it probably wouldn't be a must win.

741
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: In this division, it has to be a must win

742
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: because I mean, you've got four teams right now. I

743
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: mean maybe right now you can say, excluding the Seahawks

744
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: because they're not playing like a playoff team, that you

745
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: are playoff caliber teams. And you look at the first

746
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: week and you know, Seattle looked like a super Bowl

747
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: team going against Indianapolis, and then you'll lay an egg

748
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: on defense for the last two weeks, so now it's

749
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: a matter of trying to pick things up. But I mean,

750
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to come out of this weekend three

751
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: games behind either Arizona or the Rams. That's gonna be

752
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: tough to catch up because one thing in this division,

753
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: every team has a good quarterback. And maybe Jimmy Garoppolo

754
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: of the four might be the worst, but he's still

755
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: not bad. He was able to get his team to

756
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl back in twenty nineteen. John, there are

757
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: five teams remaining in the NFL who are undefeated, the Raiders,

758
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos, the Rams, Panthers, and the Cardinals. So two

759
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: of these guys are in the NFC West. I look

760
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: at these Rams, John, and they look like an elite

761
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: team in this NFL. What are you seeing from the

762
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: Rams so far? I mean they look good now. Again,

763
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: their defense isn't as good as last year, but that's anticipated.

764
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: And when they had to take to forty two point

765
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: two million dollar hit on Jared Goff on the dead

766
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: money and Matthew Stafford on the salary, and so you know,

767
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: they lose four starters on defense, but they're still good enough.

768
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: But boy, their offense with Matthew Stafford looks sensational. I mean,

769
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: because look what he's doing with Cooper Cupp. I mean,

770
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: Cup has just been great so far. I mean they

771
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: haven't had much of a running game. Their offensive line

772
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: actually's performing pretty well. But I mean, look how solid

773
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: they've been just in every game. I mean, they look

774
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: like a Super Bowl team and they have to be

775
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: slowed down and right now. As good as Arizona has been,

776
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: and they've been very good, I can't see Arizona going

777
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: down to the Rams and being able to beat them.

778
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Take you around the league a little bet. This one

779
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: to interest me, and we can talk about the Chicago

780
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: Bears and potentially moving. And you know, they just bought

781
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty six acres in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

782
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: I never thought they would move from downtown right there

783
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: on the water, even though I think it's probably one

784
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: of the uglier stadiums. What are you here and there?

785
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Is this? Is this going to happen? Are they going

786
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: to move? I mean, if it's a strategy to try

787
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: to get the city to try to help him out, no,

788
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: because the city's not going to help him out. I mean,

789
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, it looks like they may be in the

790
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: process of moving. But here's an interesting and again I

791
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: don't know how valid this rumor was, but it came

792
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: out the other day, is that you know, down in Jacksonville,

793
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: Shod Khan, the owner of the Jaguars, who's the University

794
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: of Illinois grad and a big Chicago City fan, is

795
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: thinking maybe he can move the Jaguars up to Chicago

796
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: and take over Soldier Field and make some renovations on

797
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: his own there. So I don't know how valid that is,

798
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 1: but uh no, I think that there's there is a chance.

799
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: I mean, because you know, hey, say what you want.

800
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: It's like these are owners. Owners don't like a spend

801
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five million dollars and not be

802
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: able to get anything out of it. And that one

803
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million dollars, I don't think it's

804
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna be able to garner anything from the city of Chicago.

805
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: And so I think there is a decent chance at

806
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: some point they'll move. John, great stuff is usual. We

807
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Keep your funky baby, oh man, As

808
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: you know what, I know what, I might have messed

809
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: this up. We got we got thirty seconds, all right, John,

810
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: tell me what you want to talk about. Okay, we'll

811
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: see what happens with Trevor Lawrence tonight. Rookie quarterbacks right now,

812
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: one in ten more than thirty seven interceptions. They're all

813
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: throwing like a fifty five percent or less and five

814
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: point six yards or less. You are the only quarterback

815
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: that's doing well as far as the numbers are. Mac

816
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: Jones that he's one and two. There it is now,

817
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: I can say it, John, You keep it funky babykay? Thanks?

818
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: All right, have a good night. All right. When we return,

819
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: Mowyer and I will talk that talk this when we

820
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: pick a couple of topics and go at it. We'll

821
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have a good turnaround like they did in

822
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. How good is Matthew Stafford? Will the Hawks

823
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: win twelve games? All that and more? Next right here

824
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: on Hawks Lock, Welcome back to Hawks Live. I and

825
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: Michael Bump is here with Paul Moyer. This is a

826
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: segment where we go into the film room. Paul and

827
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: I love watching film man. It's intriguing. It answers a

828
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: lot of questions and it poses a lot of questions

829
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: at the same time. And this first play, we're gonna

830
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: look at is a thirty yard touchdown by Chris Carson.

831
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: It's second and seven. They're on the Minnesota thirty Paul.

832
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: It's the thirty of the Vikings're gonna turn ahead of Carson.

833
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: Big hole down of the twenty down of fifteen ten

834
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: Don Carsonson touchdown Seahawks Chris Carson into the tunnel. He

835
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: may be heading to Saint Paul. What a run by

836
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: Carson thirty yards for a touchdown. The Seahawks on top

837
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: now sixteen to seven. All right more, This play right

838
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: here is exactly what we expected from the Seahawks when

839
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: they signed Shane Waldon to be their offensive coordinator. We

840
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: want to see some zone. This is nothing but it

841
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: outside zone right here. And I think what makes this

842
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: play go is Dwayne brown Man. He really controls that

843
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: nine tech that stand up rushing there, number forty nine.

844
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: He rushes and takes a wide angle, which really plays

845
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: right into into this whole scheme right here. Dayne Brown goes,

846
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: oh you want to go wide, I'm gonna take you wide.

847
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: I like the way he controls his block, puts his

848
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: right hand and really shoves him to his left. Now

849
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: everyone else is working for the combo you got your

850
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: right guard that's gonna double down on the nose. He's

851
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: gonna try to get up to that linebacker. But it's

852
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: all about flow and getting bodies on bodies. Now the

853
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: Vikings have numbers in the box, there's going to be

854
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: a guy or two that is free. But when you

855
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: can control the line of scrimmage the way Duwayne Brown does,

856
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: kick out that nine technique, open up that lane for

857
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: Chris Carson, the rest is history. And then receivers. We

858
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: got DK metcalf blocking on the third level. You don't

859
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: need to blow guys up there, you just need to

860
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: occupy people. That's exactly what happens. I believe that's Peterson

861
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: that DK is blocking does just enough. And Chris Carson

862
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: showed a burst that we just haven't seen in a while.

863
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that if he hasn't had the opportunity

864
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: to or not, but I haven't seen a burst in

865
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: a while outside zone. This is a staple in this offense. Yeah,

866
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: I mean Dwayne Brown, no question, the kickout or as

867
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: you said, ride the guy where he wants to go

868
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: out wide. I thought Damian Lewis on this was fantastic.

869
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a left guard, and you know the

870
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: tackle and the number ninety one I think was a

871
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: Weatherly or wherever his name was. He's sitting outside of him.

872
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: So Damien has to get off the ball quick, and

873
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: he does, and he hooks him. I mean that's a

874
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: hard that's a hard play to do. I mean, defense

875
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: tax thought never to get hooked that case. He did.

876
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: And then we get to kick out. We get the

877
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: great block by DK the bummers. I think Chris Scott

878
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: one or two more carries after this. I mean, when

879
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: we're running it, we're running it pretty well. The man

880
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: is averaging four point nine yards per carry. So the

881
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: running game has a chance. That's all I'm saying. They

882
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: have a chance. They were down in the second half.

883
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: I think that's why we didn't see much of him.

884
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: But you can't go away from the round right, Tennessee

885
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: was down double digits. I'm not looking. I never questioned.

886
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: I really I don't question play calling. I think it

887
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: is the most overrated thing in the world. I call it,

888
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: you go executed as a player. I don't care if

889
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: I call it ten times in a row. Get it done.

890
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: So I don't ever question play calling. All right, next

891
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: play Kirk Cousins finds Adam Feeling for fifteen yard touchdown

892
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: on third and thirteen. Cousins from the shotgun looks fire

893
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: to the back of the ends of falls clock, touchdown Vikings.

894
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: A late flag comes in. Gonna be a helmet to helmet.

895
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: I paid Adam Feeling put the touchdown from fifteen yards out. Feeling,

896
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: who's been really quiet so far in the game today,

897
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: but he is a big target. And that time he

898
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: catches the touchdown pass on the goal line and the

899
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: Vikings now seventeen thirteen with the Seahawks on top. I

900
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: could spend an hour on this play. There's so many

901
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: coaching points on it. First of all, the Seahawks rush five,

902
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: and so we're playing a bit of a high bread

903
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: and that we're rushing five, but we're playing zone behind it.

904
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: That means we've only got three underneath. We're playing three

905
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: deep zone, so the corners are their deep third, We've

906
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: got digs in the middle of the field, and then

907
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: you've got I believe the nickel and Bobby Wagner and

908
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember, and I think Brooks playing the let's

909
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 1: just say hook the middle in a situation their sports

910
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: was zone off kind of play like quarters. It's kind

911
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: of what you're taught. You crowd the three inside receivers

912
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: when they come out, but as they get down field

913
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: you let them go. In this case, you know, we

914
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: drop We did drop coverage. We rode with the number

915
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: two receiver too long on the side that they throw

916
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: this touchdown on read. You know, his technique's bad. You know,

917
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: he's he stands up, he's a little late in his

918
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: back pedal, and he's not in good position. He gets

919
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: on his heels. So when he makes just that little

920
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: stem outside talking about feeling and then breaks it back

921
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: to the post and what I would call really a seam.

922
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: You throw this so that the safety, the free safety

923
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: can't make a play on it. And that's what they did.

924
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: But the reason why this is there's hope for the Seahawks.

925
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: And now this is third and thirteen, and we play

926
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: this really poorly in so many areas. Now the linebackers

927
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: play or the nickel. The linebackers, we drop a crossrom

928
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: route reads not in his technique is not very good.

929
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, who's blitzing, runs into one of our guys,

930
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get a free rush at the quarterback.

931
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: So to me, look, we can clean this up. I

932
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: don't love this coverage down here, but if they executed

933
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: it properly and actually all three of the linebackers and

934
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: Nickel dropped and protected the seam in the middle, and

935
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: with us blitzing, we probably get off the field. So

936
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: this is the part where they just keep saying we

937
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: got to clean up, we got to clean up, and

938
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: they do. I mean, they've got to get better. But

939
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: to me, there's that hope that this is just we

940
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: just we can play better than this. Yeah, I'll give

941
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: Feeling some love. You did a good job of widening read.

942
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: He knew that. Look, I'm gonna go inside here. I'm

943
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: a lineup in a tight formation. I'm gonna widen read.

944
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: Not a great route, nothing too special about it. But

945
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: Feeling just has a knack for scoring touchdowns. Man, I

946
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: believe he has four for the year right now. But

947
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: if I'm sitting outside you, okay, so a three deep zone,

948
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: let me tell you the weakness of a three deep zone.

949
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: It's the seam route, ye, right, because I'm playing outside technique.

950
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: Is the corner you're taught in a three deep zone?

951
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: Is you carry seems if you're a linebacker a safety

952
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 1: and it looks like our nickel is starting to carry

953
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: that scene, but he turns it into a post, you

954
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: gotta let that go. And you're playing a zone too,

955
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: but it looks like it's more a man to man.

956
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: So the weakness of a three D zone you gotta

957
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 1: carry seems because the safety can't get there in time,

958
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: the corner can't get there to help. In this case, again,

959
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: all he did is he widen or try to widen

960
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: read who's already sitting outside and he's got no help

961
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: and really inside there. So if you're a wide receiver

962
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: in a quarterback and I'm sitting outside, technique, pretty easy

963
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: throw yep, you know. So it's we can be better.

964
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: We can do better, all right. Next play, Darryl Taylor

965
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: strips sacks Kirk Cousins on third and eleven. Third down

966
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: to eleven. Cousins looks outside, falls on the ground stripped away.

967
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Cousins has to fall on it, and it was Darryl

968
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: Taylor who reaches out on the pass rush as Cousins

969
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: tried to get away from the rush. Nice job by

970
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense. Taylor strips it away, but Cousins gets

971
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: it back and the Vikings will be forced to try

972
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: a field goal with a loss of ten on the

973
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: play man, This is so good man. First, you know,

974
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: so Taylor, I'll just comment real quick on his Taylor's

975
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: on our right side of the offense is left. He's

976
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: in a two point stance. But he's in a sprinter

977
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: two point stance. I mean he does, he doesn't have

978
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: his hand on the ground. His speed rush is that's

979
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: that's as good as you can get. And he's beating

980
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: the left tackle. It gets around the edge. Cousins kind

981
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: of feels it and tries to step up and escape

982
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: out to his left, and Taylor reaches out and strips

983
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: the football. That is such an athletic play. What I like.

984
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: You know what frustrated me a little bit was that

985
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of times when Reid was in

986
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: a three point stance. I don't think he's at his

987
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: best in a three point You gotta allow this young

988
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: man to get in that stands you're talking about Taylor. Taylor, Sorry, Taylor,

989
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't like him in a three point stands. There's

990
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times I guess you have to put

991
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: him in or it's schematically, you're supposed to do it

992
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,240
Speaker 1: because they have a double tight over there to overload

993
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: the side. I get it. You gotta said Nage. Maybe

994
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: you're stronger in a three point, But I like when

995
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: he's in a two point and he can speed rush

996
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: and use that youth. And what he does he fires

997
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: out the football and he does his little shimmy this

998
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: second week, Yeah, he does that shimmy boom, gets that

999
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: tackle off balance, and now it's just speed and strength.

1000
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: All you need to do is get a Paul on

1001
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He gets the ball away from him. This

1002
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: is when Darryl Taylor is at his best. I love

1003
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: him in the two point stands. Yeah, but in our

1004
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: right tackle there had a great rush too. And what

1005
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: I like is they took so our defensive tackle rushed

1006
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: inside of their guard. And so why is that important?

1007
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: Because it gives Taylor space he can go either beat

1008
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: him on a speed rush outside or he does this

1009
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: little shimmy you talked about. He can actually come inside

1010
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 1: if the guy gets too wide, and that's because there's

1011
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: no guard there to chip him along the way. So

1012
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: I like that. Look, I think our pass rush is there.

1013
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: We just got to tighten things up to the secondary,

1014
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: so the quarterback has to pull it down. That's what

1015
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: happened here. The quarterback look he had to pull it

1016
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: down just for a second. He tried to escape. Taylor

1017
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: gets a sack and strip fumble. It's beautiful when it

1018
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,839
Speaker 1: all comes together if you can get Daylor Taylor going

1019
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: that defensive line, the backers dropping into the zones. There's

1020
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: opposed to corners keeping levage. They're gonna be all right.

1021
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: But we shall see this week. Okay, when we return,

1022
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: we'll go around the NFL. Man Mina Kimes goes in

1023
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: on the Seahawks. Is there a QB battle in San

1024
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 1: fran Head coach is not having that? And was Lebron

1025
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: James almost a Seahawk? All that? Next, right here on

1026
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: Hawks Line, Welcome back to Hawks Live. Michael Bump is

1027
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: hanging out with Paul Moyer. Now it's time to go

1028
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Now there's a resident analysts called or called.

1029
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: Her name is Mena comes, great analysts, but she went

1030
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: in on the Seahawk defense. Let's hear it. Do you

1031
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: got any little cross Stephen? I will say I was

1032
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: too optimistic about Seattle. I will say that the defense

1033
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: has been worse than I thought. I don't believe the

1034
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: offense for much. They have had some second applosions, a

1035
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: game script has really messed with them on offense. The

1036
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: defense has been an abject disaster, frankly, and you've seen

1037
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: the meltdown now twice. I think we realize now that

1038
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: the Colt's offense is just simply not good at all.

1039
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: They can't cover major issues in the secondary. It's simplistic scheme.

1040
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: And if this team wants to compete for a wild

1041
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: card spot, I do not think they have a chance

1042
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: of winning the division right now. Given how the Rams

1043
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: are playing, they got to get something fixed on defense.

1044
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: They gotta get more of a pass rush. So they

1045
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: do have serious issues. As buddy Paul Moyer once said, um, well,

1046
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: here's what she is doing. Though she's she's um, it's

1047
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,439
Speaker 1: three games and she's looking at statistics, right, so she goes,

1048
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,959
Speaker 1: they got to get a pass rush. Our pass rush

1049
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: is fine, you guys. We we got to tighten up

1050
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: pass defense and give those guys a chance to do it.

1051
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: But you know, again, after three games, which she's looking

1052
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: at statistically, what she's saying is if she's on ESPN

1053
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: trying to make a story she's she's accurate. I mean, look,

1054
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: we're two games behind the Rams, who are playing great defensively.

1055
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be better. It hasn't been obviously the

1056
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: first three games. So I think what she had to

1057
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: say is, you know, I'm I'm not arguing with her,

1058
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: but I am saying that she's taken way too big

1059
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: of a you know, thirty thousand foot view looking at

1060
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: statistics and not actually looking at the game. I don't

1061
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: know she has a point. Well, I don't think she

1062
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: has a point at all. On the pass rush, well,

1063
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: I look at the pass rush, and last game we

1064
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 1: had one sack right, two or three quarterback hits. That

1065
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: pass rush didn't force Cousins to make any mistakes. Thirty

1066
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: or thirty eight three touchdowns. There was a one pass

1067
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: that this pass rush for said. We were like, oh man,

1068
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: oh I was a close one. We looked at that

1069
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: strip sacked by Darrell Taylor. But other than that, I

1070
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: can't think of any play where Kirk Cousins looked flustered

1071
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 1: and made a poor decision. All right, So let me

1072
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,919
Speaker 1: ask you this. Do you think he was back there

1073
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: just patting the ball, So that that thirty what was

1074
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: just statistics again, thirty just throughout their cousins or whatever

1075
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 1: it is now thirty thirty eight. Do you think that's

1076
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: because of the pass rush. I think it's all connected. Yeah,

1077
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: I just again, I don't think it's because of the

1078
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: I remember there's I remember, you know, I remember on

1079
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: there was a fourth down play that he completed where

1080
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: they brought the house and he stood there, he threw

1081
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: the ball. He got hit, honestly, and you know, we

1082
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: watched the games. You've watched the game. You remember watching

1083
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: that game and thinking, Okay, Cousins, it's back. They're working.

1084
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: Of course, he's gonna have to move in the pocket.

1085
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: That's what quarterbacks have to do. Right. But I'm not

1086
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: saying this password is horrible, But I'm saying that last game,

1087
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't think Kirk Cousins was uncomfortable. No. Again, I

1088
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: think the balls coming out there's a lot of hitch routes. Again, Flowers,

1089
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: you know, seven catches for seventy eight yards. That's not

1090
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: why we lost. You know, those are those are hitch routes.

1091
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, if we're to me, it's part of the

1092
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: defense we're playing. And this goes back to last year.

1093
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: I said, you have to help this line out. You've

1094
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: got to play tight. You've got to take away their

1095
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: primary throw. And that's pattern recognition. That's playing things tighter.

1096
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: Even if it's zone, it's matchup zone, and we're just

1097
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: gonna spot drop. For the twenties, they're gonna ping ping,

1098
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: ping us all day long. Plus how many screens did

1099
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: they run on us? They're going to complete screens. So

1100
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: when you look at his yard, I look at the

1101
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: yard Seahawks yards per attempt at passing defensively, I mean again,

1102
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: we're twentieth, We're they're like seven point eight, seven point nine.

1103
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: It's it's not atrocious. So to me, you tighten that up.

1104
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: You give now our guys a chance to get there

1105
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: because I think our pass rush is good and will

1106
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: be good. So that's all I'm saying. So it's be

1107
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: my only argument. Yeah, that's what we're saying is because

1108
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: of the coverage, they're able to get the football out quickly.

1109
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: Therefore there is no pass rus because that doesn't matter.

1110
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: We're not going back may. If the bass coming out

1111
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: one eight, you know, two, that's pretty tough to get pressure.

1112
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: Makes sense, all right, Kyle Shanahan has been consistent and

1113
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: once again makes it clear that there is no quarterback

1114
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: battle in San franc There's not a quarterback battle right now.

1115
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: I mean we're going with our starting quarterback. I think

1116
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: he's playing very well. Happy that he is, so Trey

1117
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 1: is not thrown into any situations he has to do

1118
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: too early. Um if he ever has thrown into that,

1119
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: and then I know Trey will deal with that and

1120
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: he'll get better as it goes. But it's not. We

1121
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: have a luxury where we don't have to do that

1122
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: yet to Trey or to our team, so hopefully we

1123
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: won't have to. He's pretty much saying Jimmy is there guy,

1124
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: and then he doubles downs on that as trays our

1125
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: back quarterback. I mean, this isn't the preseason. We're not

1126
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: just going back and forth all the time. I mean

1127
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: Tray goes in for specific plays or things we want

1128
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: to do. Treys week in and week outis I mean,

1129
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: he gets better each week, the more reps he gets

1130
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: on scout team and stuff like that. But there's not

1131
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: a big decision going into that each week. If we

1132
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: put in a game plan for our starting quarterback, the

1133
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: backup needs to be able to do all of that

1134
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt. And what's cool about Trey is

1135
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: because of his different skill set, we always keep him

1136
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: alive with a couple plays on situations. He sounds annoyed,

1137
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: but he shouldn't be. It's funny. I was thinking the

1138
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: same thing, but he shouldn't be. You guys trade it

1139
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: up to get the third pick in the draft, gave

1140
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: a ransom for it, and so you're always going to

1141
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: have those questions because you trade it up for it.

1142
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: So they shouldn't be perturbed or frustrated with that question.

1143
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,479
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. But I think there's a point

1144
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 1: where you go, look, Jimmy's our guy. We are gonna

1145
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: sit Trey all year. Trade not playing, you play some

1146
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: specialty trays. Not ready, Trey's what twenty twenty one years old.

1147
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: He didn't play last year. He hadn't played enough football.

1148
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: Trey is gonna be pretty good. I mean, we see

1149
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: that skill set, but there's more than just a good

1150
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: arm and athletic ability to be a great quarterback in

1151
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: the NFL. And right now he's learning. He's going to

1152
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,320
Speaker 1: sit for this year, probably not next year, but maybe

1153
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, and Jimmy is more than capable. They have

1154
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: a better chance of going to the super Bowl or

1155
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: win a division or making the playoffs with Jimmy than

1156
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: they do Trey. And it's not like they're in a

1157
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: life or death situation right now. Shanahan's got some time.

1158
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: They got some young talent, they got Deebo, they got

1159
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: Brandon I you, George Killa ain't going nowhere. They got time,

1160
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: they don't have to force. It's not like they're in

1161
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: Chicago where Shanahan is playing for his job right now,

1162
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: like Naggie is coaching for his job right now. That's

1163
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: not the situation in San Francisco. The only reason why

1164
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: I want Trey Lance to start is because I predicted

1165
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: he'd beat the starter by week four. I just want

1166
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: to be right. Yeah, I want Trey Lance to start

1167
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: because I think we have a better chance to beat them.

1168
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: I did. I'll play a rookie quarterback all day, be

1169
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: very happy about it. Yep, all right, no controversy. In

1170
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: San Franzmena Kimes goes in on the Seahawks. Morier believes

1171
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: the past Russia is okay. When we come back, we'll

1172
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: put a ball on this thing show recap, final thoughts

1173
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: right here on Hawks Line. Welcome back to Hawks Live

1174
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: every Thursday, seven to nine. We're close to the the end

1175
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: of the show, Man we are. I get a little

1176
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: shout out. My nephew got married this past weekend. Eric

1177
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: and Aaron, congratulations, that was awesome. And my mother, who

1178
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: wasn't there, she's listening right now. She says, I yell

1179
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: on this show, do you so? I just want to

1180
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: make sure I didn't yell today. So what's up mom?

1181
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure she's listening all right. Well,

1182
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: the Hawks are looking to bounce back right lost thirty

1183
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: to seventeen to the Vikings. There are some things they

1184
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: need to fix, Morris says. The past Russia is fine,

1185
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: they need to fit more on the back end. Offensively,

1186
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: they need to come out hot, get a lead, and

1187
00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: keep a lead. I think that's been the knock for

1188
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: or the Seahawks. When it comes to offense. You can

1189
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: focus on the defense. They given up these yards. Not

1190
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: good against the run, not good against the pass. Offensively,

1191
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: get a lead, keep a league. One hundred and seventy

1192
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: one times they've had double digits leads and ten times

1193
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: they've lost two have been this year. They need to

1194
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: fix that. They do um defensively. If this can be

1195
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: a tough game, it's a tough running game. You know,

1196
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: they got those fly suites with Samuel Lewis. I think

1197
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: he's only had four of those so far this year,

1198
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: which kind of surprises me. You got the best tight

1199
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: end in the game, I believe. Again, Kelsey is awfully good.

1200
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: But Kittle is that guy that will hurt you. You know,

1201
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: you got a man you can put big boy pads

1202
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: and you also gotta have your little boy pads because

1203
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: you gotta cover them too, So you gotta you gotta

1204
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: have both. But here's the one thing we must do

1205
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: and we are going to be better. Well, when you

1206
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: hit rock bottom, to me, we hit rock bottom quickly

1207
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: on defense. You you start building back up and you

1208
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: correct those things. We got to make teams one dimensional.

1209
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: We're not doing that right now. They're running it and

1210
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: throw it and so we got bottom line, we gotta

1211
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: take away the run. I mean, we got to find

1212
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: a way to stop it, and you know, hopefully we

1213
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: play some tight defense behind it. We know Jimmy Garoppolo

1214
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: so well, we should know where he's going to throw

1215
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: the football. So to me, it's definitely the running game.

1216
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: Stop it Kittle, got to keep an eye on him

1217
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: at all times. Yeah, and just go play football. Man.

1218
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: You guys have been doing this since you've been in

1219
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: youth football. You guys know how to play. We got

1220
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: a ton of talent. This isn't rocket science stuff out there,

1221
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: and so just just let it loose and go play.

1222
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think last year that's what they finally end

1223
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: up doing. We got too many good players, too many. Yeah,

1224
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: stop the run. You got a rookie running back, Tray

1225
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: Sermon back there. Scored his first touchdown last week as

1226
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: a professional. But it seems like whoever the nine has

1227
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: put back there, eventually they get going. It'd be nice

1228
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that youth that they have out there.

1229
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Jimmy Garoppolo. You said a couple of

1230
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: segments ago he likes to throw the ball in between

1231
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: the numbers. A big reason for that is Deebo Samuel,

1232
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league right now.

1233
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: I think he leaves the league in receiving yards three

1234
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: hundred thirty four yards one touchdown. You have to wrap

1235
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: this guy up because they're gonna throw a screens them.

1236
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna run that jest suite, throw screens to him.

1237
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: We've seen how the Hawks have played the screens. Not

1238
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: the best against the screens, No, I mean Minnesota random.

1239
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: You know early and often, and you know, screens are

1240
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: tough against his zone. You're you're dropping deep and then

1241
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you get these linemen that you

1242
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: know get out in front. It's tough. I mean, screens

1243
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: used to scare me to death as a coach, because

1244
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather be in a man to man

1245
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: situation with a robber. I used to play a lot

1246
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: with a call cover eleven where we played manned up,

1247
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: had a guy freed up in the middle of takeaway

1248
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: crossing routes and slants and so screens is great because

1249
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: you can attack that before the lineman can get to you.

1250
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: We've got to play him better than We've got to

1251
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: recognize him better. And that's the fundamentals too. When we're

1252
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: on his zone and all of sudden we turn our

1253
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: back to the football not good zone, keep your ear

1254
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: on the quarterback field and receive everybody gets some depth,

1255
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: squeeze people and then start reacting to those things. So

1256
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough game. It's a forty nine ers, right,

1257
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: it's on the road. Uh, they're a Namasavars. The good

1258
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: news they're not playing well either. They you know, they

1259
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: beat Detroit by eight, they beat what was our next

1260
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: one by seventeen to eleven, and the last week, you know,

1261
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: they lose a heartbreaker to Green Bay. So they're not

1262
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: playing great. They're not a dominant defense, even though they

1263
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: got Nick Bosa and arms. They got some players now,

1264
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: but their secondaries really beat up. So I think offensively

1265
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: we should have our way with them. I want to

1266
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: see one. I want to see how Tyler Locke is doing.

1267
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: Right his knee got twisted up last week? Or one

1268
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: he came back and play. Yeah, he came back and play,

1269
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: But you know how that goes, man, You come back,

1270
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: your adrenaline is going, and then you're sore throughout the week.

1271
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: What do we know on that NASA? Do we know anything? Well?

1272
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: We do know is even though it looked like it

1273
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: was his knee, he's on the injury report for a

1274
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: hip hit. Really so I know, well, honestly after his recovery,

1275
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, his his legs and bones are like Jello

1276
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Man because the rest of us would have torn everything

1277
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: up in that knee. But it went down as his hip.

1278
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: But he was a limited participant in Actually he did

1279
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: not practice today with the hip. But I think he's

1280
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Pete seemed optimistic about him, so not

1281
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: worried about him. The guys each want to worry about

1282
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: is Brandon Schell, who didn't practice on Thursday as well

1283
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: as we shot Penny. Dwayne Astridge was a limited participant

1284
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: in practice, so that's a good sign, and everyone else

1285
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: would be good to go. Protection has been pretty good

1286
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: for us, you know, even without Shell last week. You know,

1287
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about our offensive line now that

1288
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Damian Lewis is healthy. He looked good last week. Yeah,

1289
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the offense really hasn't been the problem, you know. I mean,

1290
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: we may need to score forty at times until we

1291
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: get it done, but I think thirty is the magic

1292
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: number until our defense really starts to feel good about themselves. Yeah,

1293
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: and I think this week the message had to be

1294
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: on defense. Let's just all be on the same page,

1295
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: because there are times where we look and it's like

1296
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: this guy looks like he's a man. These other guys

1297
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: are in zone, and that just comes down to communication

1298
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,959
Speaker 1: and understanding. So I hope tell the truth, Monday was

1299
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: one of those good ones, you know, where you know

1300
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,919
Speaker 1: last year what they do, everyone stood up, they talked

1301
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 1: about their responsibilities and really put it out there for

1302
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: everyone to know and here, and then the next week

1303
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: they bounced back. That's why I'm optimistic, because we've seen

1304
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: these guys do it before, right, We've seen them play

1305
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: horribly on defense and then come back and play good

1306
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: enough to win ball games. And you should lean on

1307
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,479
Speaker 1: this offense. You should lean on future Hall of Famer.

1308
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: You should lean on the best duo, one of the

1309
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: best duos in the NFL. You should lean on a

1310
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: running back who has was like seventh or eighth since

1311
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight when it comes on a hundred

1312
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: yard rushing games. Right, yeah, no, I yeah, the offense

1313
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: is certainly clicking better right now. We were talking earlier.

1314
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, if I've ever been in a situation where

1315
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, fingers were pointing and people were confused defensively,

1316
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: and if maybe even question the scheme and you know,

1317
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: coaches and what I'm supposed to do, and I never

1318
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 1: really had that except for one year and it was

1319
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: short lived. We had come off nineteen eighty four, you know,

1320
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: the historical year where we had forced like sixty three turnovers,

1321
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: which isn't really an NFL modern day record, never be broken.

1322
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: And we go into an eighty five all the same guys.

1323
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all veteran guys. We're picked to be

1324
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: the we're the Super Bowl sexy pick that year because

1325
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: we came off a twelve and four year. We got

1326
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: Kurt warnerback or running back. We had missed him the

1327
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: whole year. Defensively, we were unbelievable and we are struggling. Defensively,

1328
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: we were busting all over the place and we had

1329
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: a complex defense back then, a lot of three on

1330
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: two combos and really you know, a lot of practice.

1331
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: It was hard for quarterbacks. But now we're struggling. And

1332
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I remember going into a meeting just us DBS and

1333
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: the dB coach and it was some yelling and you know,

1334
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: gloves were coming off type thing, you know point. But

1335
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: by time we got out of it, we were hugging.

1336
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, hey, we're gonna get this right. It's no

1337
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: one person's fault. We got a tension to detail coach.

1338
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: Now here's the things we like. You know, maybe we're

1339
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 1: doing too much with all the motion. So I think

1340
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna get there. Because game, when you have a

1341
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 1: terrible game like they had last week, you start building things,

1342
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: you start listening to the coaches on the finer details.

1343
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: And so I'm hoping that's the case this week. Yeah,

1344
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it is too. I think it's gonna be. Man.

1345
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: These guys are pros, and they've shown they can do it.

1346
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: This group has shown that they can do it. So

1347
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic. Man, I'm optimistic. Now. I want to see,

1348
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: like I said, get a lead, keep a lead, and

1349
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: allow Chris Carson to be a factor throughout the whole

1350
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: game and not just the first half. I mean, I

1351
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: know it has to be frustrating for him to get

1352
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: into that second half and not get the rock, but

1353
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: as a professional, he probably understands, Look, we're down X

1354
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: amount of points. I'm probably not going to touch the football.

1355
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Just go ahead and bring Travis Homer in and have

1356
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: him be the pass pro extraordinary that he is. But

1357
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: thirty two has to be a factor throughout this whole game.

1358
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: The whole game. I don't even care if we get behind.

1359
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: To me, we saw what Tennessee did do us. You know,

1360
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 1: if you just say, okay, I'm behind the I'm gonna

1361
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: throw now, man, that changes what I'm calling defensively, and

1362
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: I am coming after you with a bunch of different

1363
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: exotic blitzes, and that's not what you want. So I'm

1364
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,439
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a quick question. I asked John Clayton earlier. Okay,

1365
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,959
Speaker 1: you hate to say must win, particularly in the fourth game.

1366
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Must win. This is a must win. This is intense,

1367
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm coming into this game more anxious than I

1368
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: usually am, just because I'm always anxious on Sundays when

1369
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: we do our show. But this is a must win.

1370
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: You go down one, three, three, You're two games behind

1371
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: at least everyone in your division, and everyone else's bawling

1372
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: getting it done. I mean, it's it's gonna be tough

1373
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: to climb out of this. Well, then you got two rams,

1374
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, four days later on Thursday. I agree. I

1375
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: don't like saying must wins. You can certainly climb your

1376
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 1: way out of it. I think this division is too

1377
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: tough to climb out of it. I'm gonna throw one

1378
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: out there too. I think this is a must win.

1379
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Because you've got to feel good about yourself. When the

1380
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Rams come in, you gotta be two and two with

1381
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: a chance to strike on them, be a game back,

1382
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: maybe tied if they lose it. So, yeah, it's huge.

1383
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I'll use huge. It's a huge game. Huge, It's just big.

1384
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: It's just big as the Mariners. The next three weeks, first,

1385
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: next three games. All right, let's have a great weekend,

1386
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Let's Mariners make the playoffs, Seahawks win, get ready for

1387
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Thursday night football against the Rams. Well, here's what I'm

1388
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna leave everyone with. Okay, before we get out, optimism.

1389
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: You want something to feel good about, Seahawk fans, I'm

1390
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what to feel good about. So, if

1391
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: you've been with us the whole show, Paul was looking

1392
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: for a stat in the first segment, I corrected him

1393
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: about the one and two record. Thing he talked about,

1394
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: who puts a show sheet together and whatnot. I'm looking

1395
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: back at the notes from the first segment. What you

1396
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: were looking for, Paul, And this is why everyone needs

1397
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: to feel good. Russell Wilson, since he's been in Seattle

1398
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: has never never lost three games in a row. Never.

1399
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: The only time the Seahawks have started winning three was

1400
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: in last time at least was in two thousan eleven

1401
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: before Rustcott here. So if you want something to feel

1402
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: good about, Russell Wilson has never lost three games in

1403
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: a row and it's not going to start on Sunday.

1404
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: And once the game starts, we don't bring that up.

1405
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 1: But it's like saying a guy in the ninth things

1406
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: got to know, get her going. We just we talk

1407
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 1: about it. Now once a game starts, we want to

1408
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: bring that up again. Okay, can we talk about the pregame?

1409
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, but once the game starts, there it is.
