Thanks bump Well, lots of injury news 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: to report for the Seahawks after the weekend off. I 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: will start on a positive note. Shaquille Griffin and Chris Carson, 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: who have been out since Week seven, both returned to 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: the practice field, which is a great sign. From Monday 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: night they did get out there today, Yeah, and it 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: got to work. You know. They were doing doing all 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: the regular practice stuff today, so it's good sign. Starting 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: center Ethan Postic, who missed the last two games with 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: a concussion, also returned to practice, so that's a good sign. 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: Running back with Shad Penny, who is getting closer. As 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: you know, he's been on the injured list since tearing 26 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: his ACL against the Rams last December. He's not quite 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: ready to go, but won't practice this week, but we're 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: hoping to get him back next week. On the negative side, 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: running back, both Scarborough and tight end at Stefan Sullivan 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: were both placed on i R. And lastly, starting right 31 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: tackle Brandon Shell, who got rolled up on during the 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals game last Thursday night, will be a game time decision, Brandon. 33 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: He's still hobbled a little bit. It's gonna be a 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close call to the game. I 35 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: can't tell you what's gonna happen now, but he needs 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: every day tough guy, big strong guy. Sometimes they can 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: handle this a little bit better than other guys. We'll see. 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: So it's really day to day with him. So that's 39 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: a good rap on the injury report. Hopeing shell can 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: go all right? Just a reminder before we get going, 41 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: join us each and every Thursday from noun to two 42 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: for the Huddle, hosted by Jake Stacy and Dave Wyman. 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: It's your chance to hear directly from the Seahawks players 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: as they prepare for Sunday in previous game ahead with 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: the voice of the Seahawks, Steve Rabel and Ray Roberts. 46 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Time to get going. Who's next? The Philadelphia Eagles? Who stacks? 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: Who stacks? Like Nass said, the Philadelphia Eagles are next. 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: They are three six and one in second place in 49 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the old so competitive NFC East. No now, so I'm 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: looking at their record the red. Their losses and tie 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: aren't red, but I'm gonna focus on the black because 52 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: I think that tells a story. Who have they beaten? 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: They've beaten the San Francisco forty nine Ers, banged up 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: the Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, not to mention they 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: lost to the Giants as well. I guess two good 56 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: losses would be Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. They 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: only lost by two to the Baltimore Ravens, but everywhere 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: else Man. They've lost to Washington football team, La Ram, Cincinnati, 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: the Giants, the Browns. This isn't a very good football 60 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: team right now, and you're gonna want to focus on 61 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback. He has some decision making issues, but he's 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: still the most talented dude on that football team at 63 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: this point. Last week, what they do. Last week? They 64 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: lost to an ugly game to the Cleveland Browns twenty 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: two to seventeen. That was the Browns first victory over 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: the Eagles since ninety four. I was eight years old 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: and ninety four. Now, oh my goodness, I was. I 68 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: was three and a half. Bro, Like it's been a minute. 69 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: But so, the thing about that game was it was sloppy. 70 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, they had four first half penalties, two 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: for twelve on third downs, and three turnovers. And that's 72 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: just the issue with them, man. They don't take care 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: of the football, and they're they're they're just struggling. They're 74 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: just finding ways to get things done. Carson Wentz, as 75 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned on Sunday twenty one, for thirty five two 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: hundred thirty five yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, sacked five 77 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: times and once for a safety. Above not good and 78 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: low key. He should have had four interceptions. Yeah, one 79 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: in the end zone. I think they called it. It 80 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: wasn't a catch, I guess, but he was in great position. 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: There's another one in the middle of the film. Nasy 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: should have had FOREI interceptions. There were two that were 83 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: dropped or not called interceptions. Is it his decision making? 84 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: Is he forcing it? I don't know. We're gonna find 85 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: out soon. Miles Sanders, Yeah, sixty six rushing yards on 86 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 1: sixteen carries, but he had a costly fumble just turning 87 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: the ball over. The Hawks know all about turning the 88 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: ball over and losing football games. That's not a recipe 89 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: for success turning over the ball. You must have ball security, 90 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: job security. You get debts that way. Philadelphia not getting 91 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: WS as of late. No, And what's happening is it's 92 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: given a lot of fuel of the fire for that 93 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts crowd. They're starting to get a lot louder, 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: especially in the ball cities. Philadelphia head coach Peterson said 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: after the game that he's sticking with Wentz against Monday 96 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: night against the Seahawks, and he said if he would 97 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: to replace Carson Wentz, it'd be sending the wrong message 98 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: to your football team that this season was over. When 99 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: times get tough, sometimes that might be the easy thing 100 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: to do. This word is bigger than one guy. We 101 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: all have a hand in it, and we'll all have 102 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: to fix it now, Bump, that's a that's a weird thing. 103 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate you standing up for your guy, but to 104 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: say that sends the wrong message. You could also say 105 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: it sends the right message because we want guys to 106 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: compete and you're not doing your job. So I don't 107 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: know how that plays in the locker room. That's wrong, Matt. 108 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, Okay, if Carson Wentz ain't doing 109 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: his job, let's get the rookie in and see if 110 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: he can mix things up. You saw two will get 111 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: bitched because he wasn't getting the job done in the 112 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: middle of the game and got Fitzpatrick getting there. I 113 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: guess that's there's always what half half full, half empty. 114 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: He's on the half half half full side at this point, 115 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 1: because I think some of these veterans might be calling 116 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts, and I said at the beginning this year, 117 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I said it's gonna be a time when Hurts is 118 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: gonna be asked to step in and do his thing. 119 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Doesn't look like that's gonna happen, but they should at 120 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: least sprinkle him in. It has to be a Jalen 121 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: Hurts package in that offense, right absolutely. I think I 122 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: think you went and drafted him early. You do that 123 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: for a reason, you'd think, right so, And I understand, 124 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: and I like the head coach supporting his quarterback, but 125 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: I wish he would have just said no, Wentz is 126 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: our guy. Period. But once you talk about sending the 127 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: wrong message, I just he kind of lost me. There. 128 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: You lose me, You lose me. All right, let's talk 129 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: about this head to head comparison. All right. We all 130 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: know the Hawks offense is doing their thing. They ranked 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: fourth in the league. Philadelphia's offense is ranked twenty six, 132 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: their rush offense twelve, their past offense twenty eight. In 133 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: those three categories, the Hawks are top ten. And then 134 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: you go to points per game. The Hawks are second, 135 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: averaging thirty one and the Philadelphia Eagles are twenty fourth 136 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: averaging twenty two. Carson Wentz, Man, how fast does this 137 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: falloff been? And he's the quarterback of this team, he's 138 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: been banged up. Might get all of that. But end 139 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: of the day, when you look at offensive stats and 140 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: where they rank, your eyes go directly to the quarterback, right, Yeah, 141 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: it kind of has to. I mean, you look at 142 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: third down offense or twenty eighth, they only converting thirty 143 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: seven percent of time. Their red zone offense is okay, 144 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: they're converting sixty three percent of time. But when you're 145 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: not scoring points and you're not rack up any yards, 146 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: of course, it starts with the guy who has the 147 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: ball in his hands every play and the way he's 148 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: turning the ball over. It's just tough offensively for them 149 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: right now. And I think I think that's a really 150 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: good sign for the Seahawk defense they built. They had 151 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: a great second half against against the Rams, and they 152 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: had a great game against the Cardinals last week. So 153 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good matchup for them, and 154 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: I think this another week where they can build their confidence. 155 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: Speaking of defense, the Eagles are a better defensive team 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: than the Seahawks. Surprise right total defense, they're ranked tenth, 157 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: the Hawks ranked thirty second. Rush defense there the Phillies 158 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: twenty fifth. The Hawks are fourth past defense, Philly six, 159 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the Hawks thirty second. Not a surprise here. I don't 160 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: expect this defense to be ranked above anybody at this point, 161 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: but I still believe in this defense. I still see 162 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: the improvements in this defense. This is where numbers lie. 163 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: Numbers don't tell you the last couple of weeks they've 164 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: held their opponents under thirty points. Numbers don't tell you 165 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks they've been but they haven't 166 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: broken and given this offense a chance to win the game. 167 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: So when we started talking defensive stats on zone now, 168 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't give it too much merit 169 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: because we watched this team every week. We see the 170 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: changes that are being made. Oh, no question about it. 171 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: I think we've been saying this all year. Too much 172 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: damage was done early on. I mean, all those games 173 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: given up a well over four hundred yards four hundred 174 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: yards passing. If the damage wasn't done. It's just like 175 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: your GPA great point average. You screw around your first 176 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: year and you get a zero point zero. I don't 177 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: care if you get four point ards the rest of 178 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: the way, you're still gonna look bad. So it kind 179 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: of is what it is. And I think the cool thing, 180 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: at least the last thing we'll say about This head 181 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: to head thing is turnover differential. The Seahawks had a 182 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: rough stretch in there. They were leading the league pretty much. 183 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: See the first five games. They dropped a little bit 184 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: their plus one to twelfth in the league. But the 185 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Eagles are minus nine. That comes in at thirty. Great 186 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: sign for this defense because they like to give that 187 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: ball away. Turn the rock over. All right, let's get 188 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: to know these two teams. Know your history, No, your history, 189 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: all right. Season record between these guys in regular season 190 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: is ten to seven, with the Seahawks leading it. The 191 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: last for Philly. You have to go all the way 192 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight. The Seahawks have one 193 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: sixth straight, including the last meeting, where the Seahawks beat 194 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: the Eagle seventeen and nine in the wild card playoffs. 195 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: The biggest story of that game was a Jadebion Clowney 196 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: knocking out Carson wentz out of the ball game after 197 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: just the second drive of the game. This is the 198 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: whole thing nationally, at least in Philly. Was not a 199 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: dirty play, Clowne. He's not a dirty player. He was 200 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: going after the quarterback made a play. Unfortunately Carson got 201 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: knocked out. But really what happened was I think the 202 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: nation finally got to see what DK Metcalf is all about. 203 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: Goes in motion, Russell playfake. Now he's gonna throw down 204 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: the middle. Kind of man. Metcalf makes the catch diving. 205 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: He is in for a touchdown Seahawks. What a play 206 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: by the rookie. DK Metcalf gets in behind the secondary, 207 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: makes a diving catch, hits the ground, gets back up, 208 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: and then drags a defender to the end zone fifty 209 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: three yards. What a play by number fourteen. Simply spectacular 210 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks lead five ten. So DK said a 211 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks record for receiving yards in the playoff game he 212 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: had one hundred and sixty two and an NFL record 213 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: receiving yards by rookie in his debut. So that was 214 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: definitely in the coming out party for DK Metcalf, d 215 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: K d K. I'm on the bandwagon, man, I'm a believer. 216 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: You called it earlier, you called him a superstar. I'm like, oh, 217 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: he's a rising star. Nah, he's a superstar. It's official, 218 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: DK mad respect All right, let's get to know the 219 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: NFC West. What's the word in the West? And the 220 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks were the NFC West champs. Again, what's the word 221 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: in the West? On hot talk? What's the word in 222 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: the West? La Rams, Seattle Seahawks sitting on top of 223 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: this division at seven and three. You got the Cardinals 224 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: at six and four, San fram at four and six. 225 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: Now the Hawks beat the Cardinals on Thursday, and I'm like, 226 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: come on, Tom Brad, do us a solid take care 227 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: of these Rams. It looked like hot pitat between Tom 228 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: Brady and Jared Goff. No you win the game, No, 229 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: you win the game. No, you win the game. They 230 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: just couldn't get it done. Jared Goff. Say what you 231 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: want about Jared Goff. He will panic, he will turn 232 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: the ball over. But when he gets it out of 233 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: his hands quickly and gets it too those guys on 234 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: the outside with Cooper Cup and Robert Woods, damage will 235 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: be done. And that's what we saw against a pretty 236 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: good Tampa Bay defense. Because of that, they're sitting up 237 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: top with the Actually they hold the tiebreaker, so they're 238 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: leading the West right now seven to three, or excuse me, 239 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: the Wreckers are both seven and three. What you got nas, Well, 240 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: here's the thing about that money Night game. First of all, 241 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady I'm just gonna call it out. Man. He 242 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 1: looked old. That was I have never seen that. Tom Brady, 243 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: he looked not I think he said this on Danny Gallant. 244 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: He just didn't look like he had confidence in what 245 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: he's doing. Though those throws his interceptions were not confident throws. 246 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: He kind of looked a couple of times. I'm like, 247 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: he just put his foot in the ground, not running 248 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: to get hit and throwing the football and you're like, 249 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: that's there's no conviction and that I mean. And then 250 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: for Bruce arians said one of him he kind of 251 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: got hit. Another one he misread the coverage. I don't 252 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: know what you mean, missright the coverage. There was free 253 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: safety in the middle of the field. He didn't disguise anything. 254 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: He just dropped to You had a guy running down 255 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: the hash he threw right to him. I don't I 256 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: don't know if I was misreading the coverage. I think 257 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: he just got the ball. His hand panicked a little bit. 258 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: He saw him throw the ball twice where he got 259 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: batted down. They threw the ball again. It was just 260 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: it was weird and it just sucked because all the 261 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: times were usually rooting against Tom Brady. In the times 262 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: that we really needed to like help us out a 263 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: little bit, couldn't get it done. So I thought that 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: was interesting. But back to the Rams, man, that is 265 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: not how they liked to win football games. Twenty carries, 266 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: thirty seven rush yards, Jared Goffie the ball fifty one times. 267 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: I mean, that's usually not a recipe for success for 268 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: the Rams. No, it's not. He was thirty nine for 269 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: fifty one, three hundred and seventy six yards, three touchdowns, 270 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: two interceptions. He played all right. I mean he did 271 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: throw some interceptions, but he played better than Tom Brady 272 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 1: enough to get it done. And Cooper Cup, other than 273 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the receivers for the Seattle seahause, Cooper Cup is my guy. 274 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: And when he doesn't play the Hawks, roof Cooper Cup. 275 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: Love this dude. He's from Washington. He's underrated. What do 276 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: you have? Eleven catches, one forty five and then this boy, 277 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Robert was at twelve or one thirty and most of 278 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: their yards come after the catch. These dudes get loose. 279 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: That's what scares me about this team. All we learned 280 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: is the Rams aren't going anywhere. And the matchup on 281 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: the twenty seven against the Hawks it's probably going to 282 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: decide the division. I called it a mini super Bowl, 283 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: just a little little playoff tastes a little A little 284 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: division super bowl is what we're gonna call that. It's 285 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a good one. No, I think so, because 286 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: I think that the Niners are obviously out of the picture. 287 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: I think the fact that the Rams and the Cardinals 288 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: play each other twice might take the Cardinals out of 289 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: the picture. The Seahawks have the easiest, you know, strength 290 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: of schedule for the next four weeks, So I think 291 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: the Seahawks will run the table in that game against 292 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: the Rams, I for sure thinks, and decide the NFC West. 293 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:57,359 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into these matchups. Is this man 294 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk? All right? We've mentioned his name 295 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: plenty so far in this podcast. We're gonna start with 296 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz first, that Seahawk defense. Now, Carson Wentz twenty 297 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty for three thirty seven for two thousand, 298 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: three hundred twenty six yards, fourteen touchdowns, fourteen interceptions, four 299 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: fumbles loss. He has eighteen turnovers on the season. Only 300 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Broncos as a team have more turnovers 301 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: than Carson Wentz. I mean, he's it's it's hard to watch. 302 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: He's been sacked forty times already this season. He's just 303 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: not taking care of the football. And I understand, don't 304 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: get wrong, he has guys banged up. I think last 305 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: week he had three starters out on the offensive line. 306 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: But he's just making decisions in places you can't make. 307 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: On the pick six against the Browns last week, I mean, 308 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: you just can't make that throw if you're not sure, 309 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: you can't float something up to a running back come 310 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: out of the flag. I mean, it's just he doesn't 311 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: seem confident and he's it feels like he's very far 312 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: removed from the guy that was the clear cut MVP 313 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen for the injury. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, 314 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: forty four carries, two hundred and sixteen yards and five touchdowns. 315 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: That's a sneaky little stat right there. Yeah, he's actually moving. 316 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: The fact that he has five rushing touchdowns, So, like Loki, 317 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: don't sleep on the man's a letticism. Yeah, when he 318 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: gets into the red zone, he's gonna become a threat 319 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: for real. All I know is that he's in that 320 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: quarterback room and wherever Jalen Hurts is sitting. He's looking 321 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: over that shoulder. Oh yeah, man, this young man is 322 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: coming from my job. I'm gonna go out and say 323 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: that offseason once is gone. Hurts as a guy. Next 324 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: year we shall see, all right. Next matchup, Russell Wilson 325 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: verse the Eagles defense. Russ is two hundred and fifty 326 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: six for three sixty two twenty nine hundred eighty six yards, 327 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: thirty touchdowns and ten interceptions. He's also rushed the ball 328 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: fifty five times three hundred and sixty seven yards in 329 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: one touchdown. He leads the team in Russian. Remember that 330 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: year when he led the team and everything. We don't 331 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: need him to leave the team and everything now. Man. 332 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: Reinforcers are coming this week, though, Carlos High Chris Carson, 333 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna change. But it's good to 334 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: see Russell at least make some plays this feat and 335 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: kind of going back to the twenty thirteen through twenty 336 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: fifteen Rusts bounce back with a strong performance last week 337 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,119 Speaker 1: and it's Cardinals twenty three, twenty eight, two touchdowns, no turnovers. 338 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: So it's good to see Russ kind of doing what 339 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: he's doing this running game. Is definitely gonna help compliment 340 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: him and I expect him to have a big day. Man. 341 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: I just want him to do what he did last week. 342 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: I mean, people get caught up in the thirty one 343 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: rushes that the Hawks had. No it was twenty one 344 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: rush just pulled it down and ran ten times. That's 345 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: what I want to see out of him. If you 346 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: don't like it, man, tuck it to run, get down. 347 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: He's great at avoiding the big hit. Keep that thing 348 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: going for sure. And then you look at the Eagles defense. 349 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: So they have the tenth ranked defense in the NFL 350 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: three hundred forty two yards per game. However, they're pretty 351 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: well in pass defense, allowing just two hundred nine yards 352 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: per game that ranked six in the NFL. So they 353 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: are sixteenth though in points allowed per game at twenty fifth, 354 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: So they're solid defense. They're not the best defense to 355 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: see us have gone up against, but they're definitely getting 356 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: it done and it should be a fun matchup to watch. 357 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: Russell will go against them all right. The next matchup 358 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: we have the Eagles Receive Corps versus the Seahawks secondary. 359 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: Once again, the Eagles have had to deal with injuries 360 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: and the receiving cord. DeShawn Jackson has n't played since 361 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: mid October, and the way that Deshaun got hurt was 362 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: messed up. They were just looking for a guy to 363 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: return a punt. I think they're returns. Deshaun's like, hey, 364 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm probably one of the greatest returners of all time. 365 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: Let me have a shot at it, and then he 366 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: gets banged up. I always, hey, when ogs get hurt. 367 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: There's not too many eighties babies left in the NFL, 368 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: and Desheaan Jackson was one of them. Holding on to it. 369 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: I hope this guy gets better. So yeah, it was 370 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: so tough to see man because it was an unnecessary play, 371 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: Like he's down, then he gets hit again, his knee 372 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: gets all tweaked. So I mean, it's just been tough 373 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: for this receiving cords. They're always banged up. So first 374 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: round pick, I think twentieth overall from TCU Jalen Rieger. 375 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: He's only played five games this year, but played the 376 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: last two games. He's missed a couple of games. His 377 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: stats are very so so he's under three hundred receiving yards. 378 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: And then you canna talk about Carson Wentz's favorite target 379 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: zach Ertz. He's not played since mid October. He was 380 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: taken off of the IR So there's a good he 381 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: plays on Sunday, and that's something the Eagles definitely need 382 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: because right now there's not a lot of production in 383 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: that receiving room, not a lot. They're leading receiver, Travis 384 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: Fulgum has thirty one receptions, four to fifty one yards 385 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. I'll never I'll never hate on a 386 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: dude in the NFL because I didn't do much. Five catches, 387 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: four day yards, I didn't score a touchdown, you know 388 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: what I mean? But who is this guy? I just 389 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: don't know who he is. You know, when you have 390 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: a guy that no one really knows leading the charge, 391 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: that means there has to be a bunch of injuries there. Also, 392 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Greg Ward has forty receptions toward the ninety one yards, 393 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Now, I watched a film on these guys. 394 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: Richard Roberts can go, yeah, Dallas god or can go. 395 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they're solid, they're Titans, but there no Zach Erst. 396 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: They're not Travis Kelsey, they're not Kittle. They're above average 397 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: tight ends. But when you're focal pointing your pass game 398 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: all your tight ends and you're not a Kelsey or 399 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: a Kittle. That's a recipe for disaster. Well, it's tough 400 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: because if you can't stretch the defense and you can't 401 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: test the Seahawks secondary every play and you're not concerned 402 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: about getting be deep, you can play win more aggressive. 403 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: Now you got Jamal Adams, cause in Havoc, now you 404 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: got Trey Flowers and Ovilli sha killed Griffin. If he's back, 405 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: they're being physical lining scrimmage. Maybe be staying a little 406 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: bit more pressed. Man, Now you got the defensive line 407 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: getting more active. So without a deep threat, I think 408 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: that's really gonna help the Seahawks secondary and honestly, up 409 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: for the first time it feels like forever, they're going 410 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: against a receiving corps where I think we've absolutely, without 411 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: question to have the better players and we should win 412 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: that matchup. Yep, I'm with you should win the matchup, 413 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: especially if Shad Griffin plays. It seems like he's healthy. 414 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers has been playing well. DJ reid Man sneaky pickup. 415 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: I like that, dude, he has a pick as well. 416 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: All right, next matchup matchup Miles Sanders versus Seahawks front 417 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: seven and seven games, Miles Sanders has five hundred and 418 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: fifty eight yards on one hundred and two carries, three touchdown. 419 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: Sanders leads the NFL with a five point seven yards 420 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: per rush. What I like about Sanders is the first 421 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: guy usually doesn't tackle him. Yeah, he runs hard, he 422 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: runs tough, and he has some wiggle and some breakaway speed. 423 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: This is a a name that not too many people 424 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: talk about, but he deserves some respect. No, it's his 425 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: explosive plays. He has a ton of explosive plays. I've 426 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: heard Pete talking about him. I've heard Doug Peterson talk 427 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: about him. The one he's probably honestly the one really 428 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: good bright spot for that offense. He gets things going 429 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: eighty three yards per game is fourth in the NFL, 430 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: trailing just Dalvin Cook, Derrek Henry and Chubb. He's missed 431 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: a couple of games with injury. That's why his numbers 432 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: aren't higher. Like we mentioned, leading the NFL at five 433 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: point seven yards for rush, the dude can do it, 434 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: and a little bit in the receiving game seventeen receptions 435 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen yards. So he's in my opinion, 436 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: he's their best player. I think we have to continue 437 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: to do what we've been doing stopping the run. We 438 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: completely shut down the best rushing offense in the league 439 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: last week against the Cardinals, and I expect them to 440 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: do it again this week. Do it again. The Hogs 441 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: are ring fourth in the NFL, just allowing ninety one 442 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: yards per game. Like you said, they shut down man, 443 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: You shut down Colin Murray, Chase Edmonds, Kenyan Drake. You 444 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: should be able to handle this, But then again, this 445 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: is the NFL. You never know this. Come ready to eleven, 446 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: Bass to the eleven, hats to the ball, I should say, 447 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: and do your thing. What's the path of victory? Man? 448 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickton puts 449 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kick is gone, 450 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: it's gone. It's a path to victory. On Hawk Talk, 451 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: hey first path to victory. Carson Wentz wants to turn 452 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: the ball over anyway, keep the good times rolling. Turn 453 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: the rock over. Eighteen times he's turned the rock over 454 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: this season. I feel bad for Carson Wentz, but I 455 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: won't feel bad on Monday. After After Monday, I'll start 456 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: feeling bad for him again. But I need you to 457 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: be Carson Wentz of twenty twenty and just turn that 458 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: rock over. Oh yeah, yeah. I think the Seahawks need 459 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: to win that turnover battle. I think this is a 460 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: week where he can. I'm expecting at least two turnovers 461 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday. On the flip side. We gotta take care 462 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: of the ball. Last week, the Seahawks had no turnovers. 463 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: As we mentioned all year, you win the turn of 464 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: a battle, you win the game. Let's keep it up. 465 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Run the ball, physical, run game. We saw it last 466 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: week with Carlos Hide at number thirty two. What to do? 467 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: Chris Carson is back. I expect that trend to continue. 468 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: I'm not saying run the ball thirty times thirty five times, No, 469 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, be a legit threat. When you have 470 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: Homer in DJ Dallas, two young guys who are trying 471 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: to figure it out, you're not a legit threat. Now 472 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: when you throw on Carlos Hide, you throw on Chris Carson, 473 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: that threat becomes real again. I hope they establish it 474 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: in that first drive. So then the deeps just thinking 475 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: about it, and now you can open up and take 476 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: your shots when you want to. And honestly, they're going 477 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: up against the twenty fifth worst rush defense in the league. 478 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: They're lying one hundred and thirty three yards per game 479 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: in the ground. So I expect Carlos Hide, Chris Carson 480 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: get it done there. And here's the thing. We beat 481 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: the teams you were supposed to beat. The Eagles are 482 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: three six and one. Yes they're professionals, Yes they get 483 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: coached hartwo But here's the thing. If you're gonna make 484 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: a deep run in the playoffs, you have to beat 485 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: teams we're supposed to be And it starts on Monday night, 486 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: and you gotta beat them on the road. You have 487 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: to beat the road wars the Seahawks. I've lost three 488 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: straight games on the road. You're protecting the house. You're 489 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: good at home.
