Touchdown. 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. Welcome 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Recap edition. And the Seahawks lose to 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: the Steelers twenty three to twenty in overtime. Great game. 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: This team battled back, was in position to win, but 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: just couldn't get it done. And like we always do, 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into trenches with Ray Roberts. It's time 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts, 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Big Ray Man. These Seahawks battle to halves right first half, 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: no score, second half, they get things going and it 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: was really what you and Robert Turbin had been asking 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: for all season. The run game got things going. Um, 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: what does the run game do and what did it 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: do for this team last night? Well, I felt, like, 22 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, in the first half of the game, like 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: you know, we talked in the post game, it seemed 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: as if the Sea Offs are trying to fill out 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: the Steeler defense on offense, so they weren't really committed 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: to anything more than just maybe running screens the tras 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: that they weren't working. But when they were able to 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: start running the ball in the second half, it really 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: settled office down. It gave it an identity, It gave 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: the you know, the the option of something that they 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: that they could rely on and trust. In the first half, 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: I think Um Collins had four carries for seventeen yards 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: roughly four yards to carry, and in the second half 34 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: he added sixteen more carries for over five yards to 35 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: carry and ended up with the first one hundred yard 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: rushing game that Sea Offs that has since December of 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And so to me, that's kind of the 38 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: recipe that kind of gets this offense going, because then 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: everything else works off of that. Even though you can 40 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: run play action without a good running game, if you 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: have a good running game, the flection is even more 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: effective in my opinion, so it really helps slow down 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: the pass rush, all those different things. So it really 44 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: did give the Seahoffs a chance to get back into 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: this game offensively and get the games overtime. Do you 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: think that we've been asking this question all year? Right? 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: What's their identity? Who do the Seahawks want to be? 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: Do you think if when Russell Wilson gets back, they're 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: going to continue this kind of run first deal? You know, 50 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if it has to be. I think, 51 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, some people kind of mischaracterize the whole idea 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: of like run first. It's not necessarily run first, it's 53 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: just run. It's like it's like it has to be 54 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: part of what you do. And if you if you 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: kind of use it as an after thalt or or 56 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: you're just running in these really obvious rundown situations, then 57 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: you're going to put yourself at a disadvantage. So like 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: even in the first half, say there was a play 59 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: where Collins ran for like seven or eight yards, and 60 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: then the very next play they went to an empty 61 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: backfield set. It's like, man, you just ran, you just 62 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: ran for seven or eight yards. Run that thing again. 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And it doesn't have to 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: mean that you're running on first and second and pass 65 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: it on third. Hell, if you run it on second 66 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: down and pick up seven yards running again on third, 67 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: If you run it on third down and pick up 68 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, a first down, running again on the first down. 69 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: You know. So it's not necessarily run and run pass, 70 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: but it's just incorporating the run in a way that 71 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: it's part of the identity, and that the identity of 72 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: the offense isn't just you know, to get the ball 73 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: out to the guys on the edges, you know, DK 74 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: and Tyler and all the other skill guys we have, 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, at the receiver spot. But it has to 76 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: be part of what they do. It kind of sets 77 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the stage for a lot of the other things that 78 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: they want to do. Yeah, I feel you're raided. There 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: was a third and seven and they ran the ball 80 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: with Travis Homer and actually picked up the first down. 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: I feel like if you can do things like that, um, 82 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep teams guessing. So now let's go over 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: into the defensive side of the ball. It seems like 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: they had their best night of the year. What did 85 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: you see out of the defense. Well, I felt like, 86 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, with Naji Harris, you know, a lot of 87 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: people were talking about you know, him coming into the 88 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: into this game and being able, you know, a very 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: gifted running back and has a lot of skill set, 90 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: but they did a pretty good job containing him running 91 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: the ball. I guess the biggest disappointment was I just 92 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: I just thought we'd get more hits and and you know, 93 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: not necessarily sacks because Ben Roethlisberg is a hard dude 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: to sack, but but I thought we get more hits 95 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: on the quarterback. And at the end of the night, 96 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if we ended with any hits on 97 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 1: the on the on the quarterback that was calculated as 98 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: an actual hit, and so that was a little bit disappointing. 99 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: But I thought they played pretty good in the in 100 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: the run game. Just could use you know, with the 101 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: guys that we had coming into the season, Myoa Robinson, 102 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: you know done, laugh Taylor and pray to God that 103 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: Taylor was health healthy and able to fly back with 104 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: the team. Uh. We just expected more pass rush out 105 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: of those guys, and at this point that pass rush 106 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: hasn't really materialized. So now the Hawks are two and four. 107 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Last time they were two and four was twenty fifteen. 108 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: They still make the playoffs, but we got seventeen games 109 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: this year. Ray, What are a couple of things that 110 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: need to happen and be more consistent for this team 111 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: to try to duplicate what they did in twenty fifteen 112 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: and make it to the playoffs. Well, I'll tell you 113 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: right now, there's some very outspoken dudes on the team, 114 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: and so it's gonna be important from this point forward 115 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: that they can just block out all the outside noise, 116 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: because all the outside noise is gonna, you know, be 117 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: bringing up people's contracts or bringing up who you know, 118 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: who's making plays and who's not making plays, and who 119 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: should be planning and who shouldn't be planned and uh 120 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: and if you kind of get into that fight with folks, 121 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: it will impact your psyche. And so it's gonna be 122 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: out to guys like Bobby Wagner and Hustle and Gino 123 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: and those guys to kind of keep everybody focused just 124 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: on the next game, because that's the only game that 125 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: they can that they can win. They can't win Week 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: fourteen right now. They just need to win the very 127 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: next game. And so uh, staying focused on the task 128 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: at hand and then just fighting their way back into it. 129 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: This team, I think we forget there's a lot of 130 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: new pieces on this team. There's new guys in the secondary, 131 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: new guys on defense, Guys that are that may have 132 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: been around, but have more um bigger roles at this 133 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: point on both sides of the ball. New new offensive lineman, 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, playing different spots, you know, you know, getting 135 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: more planned time, all that kind of stuff, and so 136 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. It's going to take a while for 137 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: all that stuff to kind of come together. And the 138 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: hope is that, you know, the very next game is 139 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: going to be that game that all that happens, and 140 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: so you have to put all of your focus into 141 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: bringing all of that having all that stuff manifest itself 142 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: in the very next game so you can put yourself 143 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: back on track to fight your way in fall your 144 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: way back into the playoff picture. It's all about Monday 145 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: night football, now, Ray, Well, we'll see you Monday. They 146 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: take all the Saints at home, Yes, sir, go home? 147 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: All right, that was big Ray dropping some knowledge for y'all. 148 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Right now, but let's bring get NASA showby and figure 149 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: out what had happened, See what had happened? At first? 150 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: What had happened was unho what had happened? Man? Bump? 151 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: It was heartbreak hotel in Pittsburgh last night the Seahawks 152 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: fall the two and four on the season drop in 153 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: a game to the Steelers on Sunday Night football. And 154 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: we've said this a lot this year. Almost every feels 155 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: like almost every week that Seahawks games have been a tail. 156 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Two halves in the first half, the Seahawks really struggled 157 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: to get anything going offensively. I mean, you look at 158 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: that drive Tart It's it's it's pretty hard. Punt punt, punt, punt, punt. 159 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: End of half, so they couldn't do anything five straight 160 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: punts and took an eat end and a half. And 161 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: on defense, things started off a little better. They forced 162 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: Steelers to punt on their first three drives. However, second 163 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: quarter that's when things really started going for the Steelers, 164 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: with back to back touchdown drives. One drive was eight 165 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: place for fifty four yards, the next one was fourteen 166 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: place for sixty four yards, both resulting in touchdowns and bump. 167 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what happened at halftime, man, I'm not 168 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: sure at all, But when the Seahawks came out, they're 169 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: a completely different team in that second half. Third quarter 170 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: has been really rough on this offense. Only had one 171 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: game this year where they scored in the third quarter. 172 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: And the Seahawks open third quarter with back to back 173 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: a long touchdown drives, and the first one is that 174 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: really got me going. You know, it was the first 175 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: time we've really seen the Seahawks commit to something. They 176 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: committed to running the football. They had ten plays on 177 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: that drive, They ran the ball nine times, passing just once, 178 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: and Alex Collins rushed for like seventy yards on that 179 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: drive alone and really got this offense going. So that 180 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: was really good to see. I would like to in 181 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: my head, I'm in the locker room and I see 182 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: Pete Caroli go to Shane Waldron and whisper in his ear, 183 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: run the ball and just walk away, you know, like 184 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: on some Godfathers stuff. In Shane's like, all right, I 185 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: got you, That's exactly what we're gonna do. So this 186 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: second half they come out, it was nice to see. 187 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: It was also nice to see him the tight ends 188 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: get involved. Right another scoring drive they had, Gerald Ever 189 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: gets involved with a forty one yard reception was more 190 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: the run after the catch. He was a Beastmos stiffs 191 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: arms the guy, spins out of another tackle, and then 192 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Will Disley, who was my key hawk, gets involved and 193 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: scores a touchdown. It's well, so we saw some things 194 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: that we haven't seen as of late. We saw them 195 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: commit to the run game, and we saw them get 196 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: the tight ends involved. I think if they can if 197 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: they can continue to sprinkle all that stuff in, maybe 198 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: this offense looks a bit different. Yeah, no, it's it's there. 199 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: It's good to see them, like you said, commit to something. 200 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: And Gino smith Man, we'll talk about all these guys 201 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: and playmakers, but Gino he I thought he played well. 202 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: He engineered impressive nine play fifty yard drive in the 203 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: second half or echieving the fourth quarter. The Seahawks were 204 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: down twenty to seventeen with a minute thirty in the clock. 205 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: He takes him right down the field. Then there was 206 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of craziness right that it means it's guess 207 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be surprised that it's a typical Seahawks game. 208 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: You know, nothing is ever normal or easy, especially in primetime. 209 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: They drive down there completing out to a dk metcalf 210 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: on the sideline. He tries to stay and bound to 211 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: get a couple more yards. The ball gets punched out. 212 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: Freddy Swain does a great job hustling to the football, 213 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: recovers it, then as a presence of mind to get 214 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: up sprint to the middle field, give the official the ball. 215 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: Geno Smith clocks the ball to one second, But it 216 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: turns out that play never happened because they buzz down 217 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: from upstairs the officials they wanted to review the fumble. 218 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: So then technically that happened with three seconds left. So 219 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: then after the review said it was a fumble and 220 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: clear recovery, then the Seahawks had to snap the ball again, 221 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 1: clocked it again. Jason Meyers ties the game with a 222 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: field goal, sending the game and overtime, and bump. I 223 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: felt really good about overtime. This team fought so hard 224 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: to come back in that game. They scratched Claude, fought 225 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: they were back in it. They win the coin toss, 226 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: they get the ball to start. You think things are 227 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: going well. Unfortunately the Seahawks punt on that first drive. 228 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Then they kick it over to the Steelers and the 229 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks defense, who's been you know, questionable at times of 230 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: this season, really stepped up big, huge play by Trey Brown. 231 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: Will break that down in the coach's corner, set up 232 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: another punt and we get the ball back once again, 233 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: and now in overtime with the new rules, once both 234 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: teams will possess the ball, the next score would have won. Unfortunately, 235 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: on that first play, kind of similar to that Rams 236 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: game last on last Thursday. They came out in a 237 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: heavy set, their two man route, nothing was open, Gino 238 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: put the ball down, try to rush and then unfortunately 239 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: t J. Watt made a great play who was a 240 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: nightmare for the Seahawks all game long and just didn't 241 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: shake out for the Hawks. Man tough man. That's why 242 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: you pay players all that, bunny for those moments right 243 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: there and t J. Watt man, he gotta they gotta 244 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: return on t J. Watt with that play. He I mean, 245 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: he was active all night. There were a couple of 246 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: players where he's punching at the football. Guys are asking 247 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 1: him to get thrown out the game. You know the 248 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: league will look at that, but um, yeah, end of 249 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: the day, these guys were in position to win a game. 250 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: And I know fans will be frustrated and they're tired 251 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: of end of the day type quotes, but this is 252 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: who this team is at this point. They're a team 253 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: who are trying to figure things out and who are 254 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: going to fight to stay in games. And if you 255 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to win games at this point of 256 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: the season, you'll take it. Now it's time to go. 257 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: You got two games coming up that are winnable. You're 258 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: two and four. You gotta get things going. All right, 259 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: let's highlight some of these dudes. Let's look at the playmakers. Playmakers, 260 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: all right, playmakers. He mentioned his name already, Geno Smith 261 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: making his first start since two thousand and seventeen. It's 262 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: been a while. Gino obviously stepped in and played well 263 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: against the Rams on Thursday Night Football last week on 264 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: Sunday Night. He was twenty three for thirty two with 265 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: two hundred nine yards one touchdown at a CUB rating 266 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: of ninety nine point six. And for me, I thought Gino, 267 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: I thought he played well. You know, like I said, 268 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: it took a while for the offense and going in 269 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: that first half, but once they the Seahawks committed to 270 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: running the football, and we'd hope to see that. Anyway, 271 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: going into this game without Russell Wilson, you know, other 272 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: guys need to step up. But I said, you know, 273 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: we're hopefully Chris Carson was gonna be able to go. 274 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: He was not, so the running game got going. But 275 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: I thought, Gina Smith did, what are you supposed to do? 276 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: You know? I thought he gave the Seahawks an opportunity 277 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: to win, but Loki or honestly, I just feel so 278 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: bad for him. Man. He worked so hard. He's prepared 279 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: every single week. He's a great dude in the locker room, 280 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: has respect of every single person at the vMac. And 281 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: it was tough to see, you know, the last play, 282 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, the fumble would come down in his hand 283 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: and set up a game winning fieldal for the Steelers, 284 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: because I thought he played well enough for the Seahawks 285 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: to get a win. So it's just hard to see. 286 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: But big ups to Gina for stepping in there and 287 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: keeping the Seahawks to float. And he was doing the 288 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: right thing. In that moment. There was a two man 289 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: route combination out there got DK and the ride I 290 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: believe Lockett was on the left. DK was trying to 291 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: go across the middle. He was locked up. Locket wasn't 292 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: open either. What do you do? You tuck the ball 293 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: and you run. Just a really good play by t J. 294 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: Watt or another playmaker. Alex Collins twenty carries one hundred 295 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: and one yards one touchdown, the first one hundred yard 296 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: rushan since December twenty nineteen, which I think is crazy. 297 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: I feel like Chris Carson goes for a hunting every 298 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: other game, but that's not the case. Alexe Collins stepped 299 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: in and really set to to him that second half. 300 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: Now he left the game with something going on with 301 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: his hip, his quad. Sounds like he's gonna be okay. 302 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: So next week I think they're gonna lean on this 303 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: guy again. He's showing like, look I can handle it. 304 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: Give me the rock. Don't forget I rushed for what 305 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: nine hundred to one thousand yards with the Baltibore Ravens. 306 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I've been here, I've done that. It was nice to 307 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: see Alex Collins get this offense going. Yeah, and it 308 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: seemed like he was more patient. I feel like you 309 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: guys talked about it, you and Robert Turbin and Ray 310 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Roberts and stuff that he against the against the Rams, 311 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: he missed a couple cuts that were there, and this game, 312 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: I feel like he had another game under his belt. 313 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: He knew he was starting, he was prepared, and I 314 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: thought he looked great and he, like I said, he 315 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: was the reason that he us got back in the game. 316 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: That drive alone, hard nosed running. He's spinning off dudes. 317 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: So big ups out AC for for showing out another playmaker. 318 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf wasn't the game or used to seeing whether 319 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: it's him or Tyler Lockett. He had six receptions fifty 320 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: eight yards, had the one fumble late in the game. Um, 321 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: I think with him, I like that even in the 322 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: game or because you know, I didn't throw for a 323 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: twenty yards, so he was still active. He had six receptions, 324 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: he was involved in the game. But I think I 325 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: think he's he's a guy that he's taken that next 326 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: step in the sense of he can still help the 327 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: team and contribute when things aren't going great offensively, He's 328 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: still gonna get down there. He's great blocking downfield, he's 329 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: running his tailoff. So good to see Dk. Just it's 330 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: almost like in baseball they talk about it, if you're 331 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: like a starting pitcher, you don't have your fastball if 332 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: you don't have this, but how else you're gonna continue 333 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: to help the team. And he's battled through some cramping 334 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: issues throughout the game, which probably hampered him at times, 335 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: but he's still effective, still found ways to help out 336 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: this team. So good work by DK. Yep and good 337 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: work DK. Let's go to the linebacker group. Bobby Wagner 338 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: and Jordan Brooks both had fourteam tackles. Um typical day 339 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: for Bobby Wagner, double digits, you know what I mean. 340 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks is starting to evolve, didn't emerge into a 341 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: guy that you can count on. I mean, we talk 342 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: about this defense having one of their best days of 343 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: the year. These guys are why when you have guys 344 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: on that second level who are gonna wrap dudes up, 345 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: not allow these big explosive plays, you should have a 346 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: good day. So Bobby Wagoner, Jordan Brooks fourteen tackles. Nice 347 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: to see. Oh yeah, and here's the one I'm the 348 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: most excited about, other than Gino Smith is my guy 349 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: DJ reid Man. These corners have been taking heat this 350 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: season all season long, whether it was their fault or not. 351 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: Balls are gonna get completed on you in the National 352 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Football League, especially if you're off and you're playing cover three. Well, 353 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: the thing that I loved about the corners was they 354 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: were active. Man DJ read nine tackles, two passes offence, 355 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: and you could just say that's the thing. The next 356 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: step I wanted to see these corners take was take 357 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: the ball away, make impact plays. We were racking our brains. 358 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: We weren't seeing pass breakups from the secondary. And what 359 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: I loved is they're they're more aggressive. They were up 360 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: and they're bumping runs. Sometimes they mix that up with 361 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: some zone, some quarters, some cover two back thing and 362 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: Dj he just made some places, made plays on the football, 363 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: saved a couple of big plays, knocking the ball out 364 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: a couple of times. So I just love to see 365 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: him being active. And shout out to Trey Brown who 366 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: comes in after Sidney Jones gets banged up and he 367 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: makes a huge play. So love to see the quarters 368 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: being active. But I think that's a really good sign 369 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: moving forward because we know, yes, they are talented enough 370 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: to get it done. This next step is taking the 371 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: ball away, and I think they got They're definitely on 372 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: the right track. After the game, we just had they 373 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: are moving in the right direction. Okay, here's the wide 374 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: receiver roundup. We talked about DK six catches fifty eight 375 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: yards on seven targets. Jeld every got involved. He had 376 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: two catches for forty yards. Tyler Lockett two for thirty five. 377 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: One big reception. I believe that was in overtime or 378 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter down the sideline. DJ Dallas had five 379 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: for thirty three. He was big in the fourth quarter. 380 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: Gina was using him a bunch of checkdowns. Travis Homer 381 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: had one for twenty seven. Penny Hard one for twelve. 382 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: Nice catch on the sideline. Will Disk he had two 383 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: for eight in the touchdown. Philip Door said, first reception 384 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: as a Seahawk in his second stint with the Seahawks 385 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: one for three. Alice Collins one from minus three. Freddie 386 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: Swain one negative form a lot of football players. Such 387 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: a full ball in the pass game. That is good. Now, 388 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: let's break down a play in the coach's corner. Yeah, man, 389 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier. Tray Brown. It's third in four 390 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: in overtime. The Steelers are backed up facing in the 391 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Seahawks have not been great in some of these short 392 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: third down yard situations. They end up coming up big 393 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: and Tray Brown was the man who answered the call. 394 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: Ben stands strong, pump fakes. Now he's being chased. Now 395 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the nearside, getting hit, getting pushed back, 396 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: Tray Brown. What a player on Ray Ray McLeod. He 397 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: catches the Boulders McLeod. He was about a yard and 398 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: a half from pay creep picking up the first town 399 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: and Trey Brown like a rocket comes in. He hits 400 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: him and knucks him on his wallet, and the Steelers 401 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: are gonna be forced to punt. What a play by 402 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: the rookie. Yeah, Trey Brown. Man Palm moore is said 403 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: of the best last night, he goes, this was one 404 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: of the first players where I saw a dB look 405 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: like a dB. You hear Trey Brown talk about the 406 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: playoff to where he says, look, we were in quarters. 407 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: So being quarters, he has like his deep fourth of 408 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: the field right. His job is to not let anything 409 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: get behind him. He's lined up over Chase Claypool. He 410 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: uses the right technique, opens up his tits, but he 411 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: keeps his eyes inside to kind of see what the 412 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: quarterback is doing. Claypool runs kind of like a curl 413 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: around eight to ten yards and there's a receiver going 414 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: out to the flat. That's Ray Ray McLeod. Now instead 415 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: of just letting Ray Ray cash that ball over committing man, 416 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: he kind of stalks Ben Roethlisberger. He says, Look, I 417 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: saw Ben rolling to the right. I saw his shoulders 418 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: turn to McLeod, and then I just broke on the football. 419 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: That's the easy part. Now you got to come down 420 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: hill and secure the bag and make this tackle. He 421 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: did exactly. That kept his head out the way. Huge 422 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: play on third down, giving the Seahawks a chance to 423 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: win the ball game. Yeah, you mentioned it. I love 424 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: this playoffs my favorite play of the game exactly. I 425 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: think Paul hit the nail on the head about just 426 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: seeing a great dB play and it's just the thing 427 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: I loved about it. It's just technically sound. There's times 428 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: this here where you've seen some things that weren't a 429 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: sound from the cornerbacks. And Trey Browns makes a great play. 430 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: And when you're gonna cover four, you know across the 431 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: board you can be a little bit more aggressive. You 432 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: don't have to bail right away. And he just does 433 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: a great job and he's reading the quarterback and they 434 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: talk about that stuff even at the high school level. Boom, 435 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: you turn your shoulders. It's not a soft pump thagg 436 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: Now you know that ball's coming out now and he 437 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground and gets downhill. I mean, 438 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: that is about that. If you're teaching tape, if you're young, 439 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: if you're a high school or if you're playing football 440 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: at any level, that is how you teach it. That 441 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: is how you break on the football, that's how you 442 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: make play, especially in the NFL, and you just love 443 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: to see it. Coach Pete Carroll has been raving about 444 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: how good they think this guy could be, and he 445 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: was going to compete to play right at the beginning 446 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: of the season, but he obviously he suffered an injury 447 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: and he was out for a couple of weeks. But 448 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: he came back and he's ready to go, and I 449 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: won't be surprised. He's gonna be pressing for playing time 450 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to play him. I think at 451 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: this point, with what he showed on Sunday night and 452 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: what he's gonna show in practice, he's gonna make sure 453 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: that he gets on the field. And that's why they 454 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: drafted him in the fourth round because they thought he's 455 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: a guy despite his size, can come into this league 456 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: and make plays right away. And we saw that on Sunday, 457 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: so I'm really excited about it. I know some people 458 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: were concerned that if we march out DJ Reid and 459 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: Trey Brown, we have two short corners the Seahawks. You 460 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: normally have taller corners this and that. I don't think 461 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: that's an issue. You need guys out there. We're gonna 462 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: break on the football, they're gonna make plays or they're 463 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: not gonna get beat deep, and we saw that from 464 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: DJ Reid and Trey Brown, so I would love to 465 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: see a lot more of that combination moving forward. Goal 466 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: gets the grain, Pete m Little dos a chance. The 467 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: dB is a fight scene, all right. We usually want 468 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: to talk about the victor formation in this segment, but 469 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: not this week. The clock ran out an taken by Huntley. 470 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: They're just gonna let the clock wind down. Peach, not 471 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: even gonna bother taking that last time out. All right, 472 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: clock right now. For the first time since Russell Wilson 473 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: has been a Seahawk, he did not play and they 474 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: did not have Chris carsonon. That's a recipe for disaster. 475 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: But end of the day, these guys were still in 476 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: the game. It was a teletoo half. The Seahawks really 477 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: found themselves in the second half, just came up short. 478 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: How did they find themselves They started running the football. 479 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: They threw one pass on that ten play drive to 480 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: score touchdown, and it was a screen pass. They weren't 481 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: even pushing that thing down the field. So you don't 482 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson, you rely on the run. You're still 483 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: in this ball game. Yeah, absolutely that. I loved hearing that. 484 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: And Pete Carroll talked about it about in his radio 485 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: show this morning. Just committing to the run. That is 486 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll football, that seah football. Some people might not 487 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: like it, and you can do both. That doesn't mean 488 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: now they're gonna come out and run it on first 489 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: and second down every single time throw it on third 490 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: down they're gonna be seventy five percent n twenty five 491 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: percent pass. No, it's balanced and like we've talked about 492 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: all year, and we finally saw it, when you need 493 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: to run the ball, if you're able to, that opens 494 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: up everything and they really up the offense going and 495 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: on the defensive side, man, they finally responded We've been 496 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: asking for that unit to show up, and they finally 497 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: did on a big stage. That was the best performance 498 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: we've seen from them since the Colts game. The Steelers, 499 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: even though they didn't have Juju Smithshooster, they have weapons. 500 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: They have dudes that can play. Ben Roethlisberg is a 501 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: lot older now, but he gets the ball out fast 502 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: and it's difficult. Jamal Adams is playing a lot closer 503 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: in the box on Sunday, which I love to see. 504 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: They brought up in a lot more pressures. We got 505 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: to see Marquis Blair, Ryan Neilman out there making play. 506 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: So love to see the defense stepping up, especially the corners. 507 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping they can. I'm hoping this is a turn. 508 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: It happened last year. I'm hoping this is a turn 509 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: and we can see that kind of from the defense 510 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. All Right, this is 511 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: the situation they are in. They are two and four 512 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: on the season and they're battling for their playoffs lives. 513 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: The Saints come into Seattle on Monday for Monday Night Football. 514 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: We never want to say it's must win, but I mean, 515 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the last three weeks We've been saying it, 516 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: so let's just keep it on. It is a must 517 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: win game, all right, Seahawks. You win this one, you 518 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: win the next one, You get a buy Hopefully you 519 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: get your quarterback back, Hopefully Chris Carson is healthier. Everyone 520 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: starts to figure out who they are, and you get going. 521 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: It gonna be a huge game on Monday, Oh, no 522 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: question about it. It's gonna be back at Loumanfield. The 523 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks have lost two games at home in the winfield. 524 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever been a time in Russell 525 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: Wilson's career heating them have been together. If they've lost 526 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: three games in a row at Louminfield. So hopefully the 527 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: tide changes there. And you mentioned it backs up against 528 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: the wall. If they need to come out and need 529 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: to make plays. They have an extra day this week 530 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: of practice in preparation. You figure out a way to 531 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: win this game, you win the next game. You're four 532 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: and four going into the bye. Maybe get Russell and 533 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: now you can find a way to put some wins together. 534 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: Maybe you find a way to get to eleven wins, 535 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: get back to the playoffs. But none of that matters 536 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: unless you don't get it done on Monday night football, 537 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: so it should be a good contest. Looking forward to it, 538 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: all right. Seahawks lose to the Steelers twenty three to 539 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: twenty in overtime.
