Powered by Seahawks dot Com. You are listening 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Recap edition on Michael Bumpas along with 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: Nassa Choby. The Seahawks beat the Rams twenty to nine, 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: and they clinched the division first time since twenty sixteen. 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: And like always, let's jump into the trenches with Ray Roberts. 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. Big Ray Hogs get it done. They clinched 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: the division, something we haven't seen in a few years. 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: It's your overall thoughts of that game last night. You know, 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: it was just kind of good to see, like good 19 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: complimentary football. You know. The offense wasn't, you know, tearing 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: it up, but they were making progress and keeping themselves 21 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: in the game, and the defense was just doing what 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: they've been doing over the last five or six weeks. Man, 23 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: they just been playing really good football, like top ten 24 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: level football, keeping the Rams out of the end zone, 25 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: help making them settle for three field goals before the halftime, 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: and then pretty much shutting them down in the second half. 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: So I thought I felt really good about how they've 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: won the last two weeks. It seems like they had 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: a formula and a plan going in. May not have 30 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: been the prettiest football, but it was victory football. Victory football. 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: Can't complain with that. Chris Carson, Man, he had nineteen 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: touches for seventy nine yards. What'd you see out of him? 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Do you think that they are utilizing him the right way? 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: I believe he averaged around fifteen touches before that. I'm 35 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: just thoughts about Chris Carson. Yeah, I think, you know, 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: they've done a remarkable job since he's come back and 37 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: keeping him affective. So like, yeah, like you know, I 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: would love to see it. I'm sure the fans would 39 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: love to see him get up to like twenty twenty 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: two carries a game and maybe break the century mark, 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of times. But I think they 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: were kind of managing his caseload just so that he 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: could get to the playoffs, so he can remain healthy, 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: so he can remain effective, and they've done an excellent job. 45 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: Before he got hurt, he was averaging about thirteen to 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: fourteen carries for about sixty five yards, and that's pretty 47 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: much where they keep him for every game. And so 48 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: this game be average over four yards to carry. He 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: can't ask some more than that when they call on him. 50 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: He's been productive, and I think they're just waiting to 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: really unleash more of that running game once they get 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Yeah, I'm with you. I think we're 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: just really seeing what Chris Carson can really do. I 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: want them to get back to what twenty eighteen, twenty 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: nineteen when he was getting a bunch of touches. So 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm with you there. Ram. So there's a possibility that 57 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: the hard may play the Rams again in the first 58 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: round if that does happen, is there anything they need 59 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: to change about their game plan? I would say they 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: probably should lean on the running game. That's a little 61 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: bit more the Rams. You know, coming into that game, 62 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I think they were giving up like maybe three point 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: eight yards to carry, but that's close to the four yards, 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: and it is the three yards. So I think, you know, 65 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: leaning on the running game, whether it's keeping Chris to 66 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: that to that same number, or incorporating hide and penny 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more to get the running game going. 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: And then and then obviously they need to show up 69 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: the pass protection. They got beat. At least the first 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: three sacks for the Rams came off of line twist 71 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: and and it was just not a matter of them 72 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: being really good at it. It was the Seahawks really 73 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: been their technique about it wasn't very good. And so 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: I think if they tighten that up, they can help 75 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: themselves out. Uh. And then and then there was a 76 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: couple of times where they the Rams schemed Aaron Donald 77 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: to be one on one against the rookie or against 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: Simmons who's a part time starter. So they won some 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: of those matches. But I think if they are a 80 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: little bit more physical the run game, and then I 81 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: would approach the passion game the same way they did. 82 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: They threw some body blows and then they sew a 83 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: couple of deep balls. They connected with demo and I 84 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: think that's the way to go about it against this 85 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: particular team. Yeah, I'm with you. I really liked the 86 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: patience of the offense. Yes, Russell Wilson was sacked five times, 87 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: but it never felt like they were forcing anything. I 88 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: feel like they're really patient. So yeah, body blows and 89 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: then Boone go for that chin, make them drop. Let's 90 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: talk about this defense, man. We talked about this defense 91 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 1: first five weeks, Ray worst defensive history. Everybody fire Kid Norton, 92 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: What are we doing now? This defense is one of 93 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: the best in the league. Has this been the biggest 94 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: turnaround you've ever seen? Absolutely? I mean every week we 95 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: were trying to just I remember Paul Moria was just 96 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to get them from Ben 97 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: d last football, the last defense, you know, in the league. 98 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: And so it was like, we can get to thirty, 99 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: We'll be all right, people leave it alone. And they've 100 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: really elevated past And I said this last night too, 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: and we said it before. So when they had that 102 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: account of ability meetings and you know, Mike, we've played 103 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot of football from high school, college in NFL. 104 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of meetings like that that go on, 105 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: and a lot of times they add up to nothing. 106 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: And but this one you can hear it in all 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: the press, the postgame press conferences. All the defensive defensive 108 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: players talk about it, and they talk about the outcomes 109 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: of it, and they talk about the things that go 110 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: on in it and the and the trust that it creates, 111 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and you know, like, I know, it's easy to play 112 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: where you can trust if you're a receiver, you know 113 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: you can trust a quarterback and put the ball where 114 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. You're gonna run, You're gonna be 115 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: running free. If you're the quarterback, you know the receiver's 116 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna be where it's supposed to be. You're gonna let 117 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: the ball fly. And so it's just it's the same 118 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: thing with this defense. They all talk about, Hey, I 119 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: know I can do my job at the best that 120 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I can with the full speed because I know the 121 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: dude beside me it's going to be doing the same thing. 122 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: And that says a lot. And I think that that 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: may be why this defense really made the jump, Because 124 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: if you're the one dude, they ain't getting a job done, 125 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna stand out like a sore thumb. And so 126 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: everybody's holding them so uh to that accountability standard. And 127 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: then they're also trusting each other. Yeah, no, no one 128 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: wants to be that guy to go. Well, so, now, 129 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: where where does this team go from here? Right? What 130 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: is the true potential of this team as they get 131 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs? You know, I think if the 132 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: defense just keeps playing like the defense plays. Uh. You know, 133 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: they've done a really good job all season long. Even 134 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: when they're at the bottom of the barrel, they were 135 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: still closers. You know that the very first game of 136 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: the season, you know, they shut out they made a 137 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: goal line stop, you know, and they've done that all 138 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: year long. It's the watching football team. They came up 139 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: with two sacks at the end of the game. You know, 140 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: in this game, they came up with the big first 141 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: and inches on the goal line and they came up 142 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: with four stops. And so that part of that game 143 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: has always been there all year. It's just all that 144 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: between the forty stuff that has gotten better, and so 145 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: they just can maintain that. And then with the offense, 146 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: I really feel that that uh, that Russell's going to 147 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: break out of this. I don't want to call it 148 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the flump. It's to been a more conservative play calling 149 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: an offense. But I think we're going to get back 150 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: to more dynamics throwing the ball, and it's going to 151 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: open up the offense even more because the run game 152 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: has been solid all year long when they when they've 153 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: turned to it, and so it's about time now to 154 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: kind of unleash a little bit more of the passing 155 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: game and be a little bit more explosive in the playoffs. 156 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Is the super Bowl or bust at this point? Big Ray? 157 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: You know what we talked about that last week when 158 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about, you know, is it failure or disappointment? 159 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: And I think, uh, just looking at some of the 160 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: teams they have to play and the opportunities that how 161 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: they match up with the other teams he had as 162 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: tough teams like you know, have to he had to 163 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: go through Green Bay or or or New Orleans or whatever. 164 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: But I feel like we can. We can with the 165 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: way the defense is planning and the weapons we have 166 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: on offense, we have a chance to win any game. 167 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: And so for me, I've changed my opinion from from 168 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: a failure or disappointment to like, Yeah, I want to 169 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: see them get to the super Bowl. It would be 170 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: a failure if they don't. To me, all right, you 171 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: heard it. Here we go on to Tampa. Let's get 172 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: ready for this run right now, Big Ray, appreciate your time. 173 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: All right, brother, all right, all right, well let's get 174 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: right in to it. Let's bring getting nasid Choby, and 175 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: let's talk about what had happened. See what had happened 176 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: at first, what had happened was I'm hard. Got is good. 177 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: God is good. You know, I don't want to be 178 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: too happy because I don't want people to say, you know, 179 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: he's dramatical. He hasn't been there before. You damn right, 180 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: I haven't been there before, so damn it. It feels good. 181 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: It feels great Godly. We came out victorious, and man, 182 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: what a what a hard fought battle. You heard the 183 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: man bumped. It feels good. Division champs, first time. She's 184 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Let's go. I feel he Jamal, I'm so 185 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: fired up this morning. It feels good. People in Seattle. 186 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: We've won a lot of football games out here, so 187 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: we take things for granted. Never taking a vision title 188 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: for granted, never take going to the playoffs for granted. Uh, 189 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: it's so I'm so hyped this morning, man. I mean, 190 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: we handle business like we're supposed to. Capsule another division title. 191 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen feels like centuries ago. We had to hang 192 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: another banner in louman Field and at the vMac. And 193 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: I love it, man, because the Seahawks have everything they 194 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: want in front of him. They're for sure gonna host 195 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: a playoff game next week, and they sell have an 196 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: outside chance of being the three seed or two seed, 197 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: one seed. So it feels good, Bump, it feels good. 198 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: It feels good, and I just like the way they 199 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: did it. Man. They did not allow the Rams into 200 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: the end zone. Golf only through for two hundred and 201 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: thirty four yards, one interception, and they just got after man. 202 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: Then they really handled the play action boot. I was 203 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: really happy with how they handled that because that's what 204 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: the Rams want to do. They want to run you 205 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: play action boot. Put the linebackers in a bum. Those 206 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: LB's played well in the past game. That second level 207 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: is always compromisible when it comes to the boot. They 208 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: handled that. They made this Rams team a very good 209 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Rams team, good offense, good defense, look like an ok team. 210 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: And this is coming from a defense that was on 211 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: pace to be the worst defense of all time. Of 212 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: all time, NFL has been around for very long time, 213 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: but all the time, so the turnaround is crazy. They 214 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: dominated a good football team. They got some style points 215 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: on this one. I know we talk about all style 216 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: points don't matter, but when they present themselves, I'll take it. 217 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: They got some style points this week. Well, no question 218 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: about it, because every last month and a half people 219 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: been talking about, oh, well, they did it against the Jets, 220 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: they did it against the Giants, they did it against 221 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: this team. Well, no, the Rams. You know, for as 222 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: good as they can be with potential, they have good 223 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: football players and that was a great team defense of effort. 224 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: Even before GoF got hurt, we shut them down. We 225 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: didn't allow them to do anything that they wanted to do. 226 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: And this is speaks out good this defense has. Everyone 227 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: wanted to fire Norton, everyone wanted to blow this stuff up, 228 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: but the Seahawks had faith. And you heard Jamal talk 229 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: about it. He said, I think we have the best 230 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. I love that confidence because it 231 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: doesn't you know, at the end of the day, stats 232 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: are great, but they don't matter. It matters about how 233 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: you're playing at the end of the year and when 234 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: you play teams. And right now the Seahawks defense is 235 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: playing great football. Rams only scored nine points. Jared Goff, 236 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: we finally made him look like Jared Goff okay through 237 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: for two and thirty four yards, no touchdowns through a 238 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: pick and God help me have no clue what the 239 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: decision making us on that play. Even Quandre's postcame prest 240 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: conference is like, you tell me I was sold. When 241 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: I was in a high school quarterback you never thought 242 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: about laid across the middle, and Quandre Dix was the 243 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: only person who could have caught that football. So it 244 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: was good to see though, you know, because Goff has 245 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: had a lot of success to them, the Seahawks, and 246 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: it was good to see them come out there and 247 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: do exactly what they're supposed to do, what we expected 248 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: them to do. And now we're division champs, Division chaps. 249 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: I like how they use DK too. DK early in 250 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: the game was in the slot. Now the Rams arazone team, 251 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: so we're looking at that matchup. Oh Ramsey verse DK, 252 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: We'll see what happened. So when it presented himself I 253 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: think DK did okay. I believe he had two catches 254 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: against Ramsey, but for the most part, they were moving 255 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: DK around, start him in the slot, and motioned him 256 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: to this side. They're trying to get matchups, and that 257 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: just shows the evolution and DK and that Shoddy really 258 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: had a plan and say, look, we're not gonna feed 259 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: into this number one receiver versus number one corner. Let's 260 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: see what happens if it happens to line him that way, 261 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: lines up that way, but we're gonna play an hour 262 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: style of football. Move this man around and get him 263 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: the ball in different areas of the field. So I 264 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: really like that. And then Chris Carson nineteen touches seventy 265 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: nine yards. I mean, this guy does a dirty work. 266 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: He gets to two or three yards, He's falling forward. 267 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: Every time a man tries to tackle him. It looks violent. 268 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: It looked like it hurts. And that's what I like 269 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: from Carson. He wears you down. If you are going 270 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: to tackle thirty two, you better hit him low because 271 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: if you hit him high, you're gonna be sore in 272 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: the morning, Oh, no question about it. If you're if 273 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: you're a defensive back, linebacker and Chris Carson gets his 274 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: shoulders square and he's coming towards you. That is a 275 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: bad place to be, man, You're looking around, anyone can 276 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: Help's he gonna jump over me, He's gonna run me over? 277 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: What's he gonna do? And yes, I would love Chris 278 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: Carson get a couple more carries. But I love how 279 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: they're playing because everything flowed together. And what I also 280 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: love is David Moore. That huge catch by David Moore 281 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: deemotors to make that catch. I mean that jump started 282 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: the game offensively. Up until that point, they hadn't done anything. 283 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: It was a third down. They get a large scoring drive, 284 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: and it just shows that everyone on this team can 285 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: step up when they're called upon. Box score wasn't pretty, 286 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: but it was the exact drag him out, grind it out, 287 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: knock him out up box l knock him out type game. 288 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: So I love what I saw, and like I said, 289 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: Division champs, And now we gotta take on those forty 290 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: nine ers and let's see what happens. Alright, Division champs. 291 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Let's talk about these playmakers, playmakers, all right? Russell Wilson 292 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: Playmaker twenty for thirty two twenty twenty five yards, one touchdown, 293 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: three carries for nine yards and a touchdown. What I 294 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: liked about Russell Wilson. Yes, he was sacked five times. Yes, 295 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: you could say they started off slow. There was a 296 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: three now to start the game. They won on the 297 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: five play drive for twelve yards. Wasn't pretty to start, 298 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: but he wasn't forcing it. He goes, look, if we 299 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: got to grind this thing out, if we have to 300 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: control the tempo and slow it down and give him 301 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: a slow death, That's exactly what I'm gonna do. And 302 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: I like that. Best championship football. Guys who want to 303 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: be Brett Farve gun slingers tossing that thing without a care. 304 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: That's how you lose ball games. Russell was responsible. He 305 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: might have missed a couple guys here and there when 306 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: it comes to throws, or maybe not seeing him down 307 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: the field, but I never felt like he was out 308 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: of control. I always felt like when it came down 309 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: to it, he was gonna make a play to win 310 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: a ball game, no question about it. And you mentioned 311 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: it when you talked to Pete this morning, when he 312 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: spoke to Aaron Andrews at halftime, and how communo is 313 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: in confident he was, and then you'll come on the 314 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: other side Sean McVeigh wasn't feeling that way. But you guys, 315 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: remember it was a six sixth ball game. So that 316 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: just goes to show you the faith that he had 317 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: number three in the faith that McVeigh had in number sixteen. 318 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: Because you look late in the game, it's third and 319 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: long and they say it's hand this ball off once 320 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: to kick a field goals to get some points on 321 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: the part because earlier in the game they thought they 322 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: were gonna have some points. And Golf does a pick 323 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: earlier in the game, they have a first down, Golf 324 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: slides a yard short. So Pete has confidence in Russell 325 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: and all of this too. Obviously, we've watched him for 326 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: a long time and he just makes the plays he 327 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: needs to make. Even on that scramble, he's looking for 328 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: everything that's open. It's not there, not there, last second 329 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: to size running for a touchdown. So love to see 330 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Russ balling out And I love it because he showed 331 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: the like, you know what, I don't care about the 332 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: gaudy numbers or the MVP or any of that. I 333 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: care about winning. That's all he's ever done. Is winning Seattle, 334 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: so I love to see it. Next guy, though, Chris Carson. 335 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: We talked about him. Sixteen gary sixty nine yards, three 336 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: catches for ten yards, and Carson is just that dude 337 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: where if you talk about a boxing match, just body 338 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: blows man, just to the body, to the body, where 339 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: you're down, where you're down, where you're down, and around 340 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: ten you don't want to come out out of your 341 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: corner anymore. You're tired of getting hit. You're tired of 342 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: getting hit in the gut, you're tired of getting uppercutted. 343 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: So that's what Chris Carson did, and I love to 344 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: see the physical nature. And he's gonna be so important 345 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: to us down the stretch because last year, this time 346 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: he got hurt and God loved that Marshawn came back 347 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: and it was a great reunion and all that. But 348 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: we need thirty two and we missed him last year 349 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: and I love that he's back and this year it's 350 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: gonna be different. Storry, you need thirty two to finish 351 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: this run. Next playmaker dk metc have had six reception 352 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards, no touchdowns, but he is a couple 353 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: of yards away from breaking Steve Largen's career record. Now 354 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: you can look at this game and say, oh, DK 355 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: had an off game. Now, man, DK, I feel like 356 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: that exactly what was required to win this football game. 357 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: Went across the middle, made a couple of tough catches, 358 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: and just held the defense accountable. What people don't realize 359 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: is when he runs a goal, he's taking two or 360 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: three defenders with him. When he runs across the middle. 361 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: These linebackers are filling them and passing them off, and 362 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: they're concerned about him. So if he doesn't put up 363 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: the big numbers, if he doesn't go for a hundred 364 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: yards and a couple of touchdowns, he's opening things up 365 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: for other people. And we knew going in. At least 366 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: I felt like going into this game, it wasn't gonna 367 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: be a blowout. No one was gonna put up thirty 368 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: five forty points. Both defenses have been playing well, and 369 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: both offenses have guys who can make plays, but it 370 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: was gonna be a grinded out game. And you look 371 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: at DK stats, that's what you see six for fifty nine, 372 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: a grinded out game. And he still has an opportunity 373 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: to break Steve largest record, which I would assume will 374 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: he'll get that done against the forty nine ers With 375 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: that question, I'm hoping it's done in the first pass. 376 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: But like you mentioned, he takes so much attention away 377 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: because you have whether it's a flat defender or a linebacker, 378 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: he's worried about getting hands on DK if he's in 379 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: the slot, DC's outside, the safety's worried about getting over 380 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: the top. So everything he does, even if he's used 381 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: a decoy, he's running people off and he's helping get 382 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: other guys open. So love to see that from DK 383 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: and man, honestly, you want to talk about who won 384 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: the game, it's that Seahawks defense didn't give up a touchdown. 385 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup only sixty six yards, Reynolds sixty five, Robert 386 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: Woods forty eight. Those are some dudes over there and 387 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: they didn't do anything. Jaron read two sacks. I'll rob 388 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: someone the sacked, Jordan Brooks state tackles, Jamal Adams state tackles. 389 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: I mean, everyone on this defense was balling out, and 390 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: I just love that. Forever. We're not ever gonna talk 391 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: about this is the worst defense in the history the NFL. 392 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Put that to bad freezing cold takes done. Okay, 393 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: don we want to hear about it. This is one 394 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the league and they're playing 395 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: like it. So they're the key to victory on Sunday, 396 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: no question about it. Yep, that Seahawks defense stepped up. 397 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: You got guys like DJ Reid who had eight tackles. 398 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Diggs has six tackles and an interception. An interception that 399 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: only he was gonna catch. No one else was a round. 400 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: There was no Rams jersey hanging out there. Golf has 401 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: made a mistake and Diggs will make you pay. kJ 402 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: has seven tackles, two passes defended, and then that a 403 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: goal line stand. There's something about this defense on the 404 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: goal line. It's almost like they love that situation. They're 405 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: they're eager to be in that situation. And you hear 406 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll Talkie goes, Look, we've been been preparing all 407 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: year for this game, not specifically this game gets the Rams, 408 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: but this championship game. Our mentality, the way we practice, 409 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: the way we prepare gets our players ready for this moment, 410 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: and no one's afraid of the moment. We played with 411 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: guys who don't want the rock in the fourth quarter 412 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: who don't want to be on the field. Who's tapping out? 413 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: All Mihammy heard something. You know, some guys just tap 414 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: out this defense. Whether it be a veteran, a rookie, 415 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: or a guy who's a third or second year in 416 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: the league, they all step up and it's fun to 417 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: feel like when there is three blades of grass to defend, 418 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: the Hawks put themselves in great position to do exactly that. 419 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 1: All right, let's look at these receivers. A receiver round up. 420 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: Not a super impressive day when it comes to numbers, 421 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: but the receiver's got done. DK had six for fifty nine. 422 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: Demo had one for forty five, the biggest catch in 423 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: the game other than Hollister's touchdown. Hollister had two for 424 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: seventeen in the game winning touchdown. Are the nail in 425 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: the Coffin touchdown Tyler Lockett at three for forty four, 426 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Carlos had one for eighteen this league three for seventeen, 427 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: Olsen one for fifteen, Carson three for tim The three 428 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: tight ends got receptions this game. I think we were 429 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: asking a couple of weeks ago that we'd like to 430 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: see the tight ends get more involved. That's exactly what 431 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: we saw, especially with Jacob Hollister selling the game with 432 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: his touchdown. And speaking of Jacob Hollister siming the game 433 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: with this touchdown, we're going to the coach's corner, and 434 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: that's exactly the play. We're gonna break down. Russ with 435 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: a shotgun snap Loo Town lays it up on the top. Hollier, 436 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: he gotta cut down Shaye Hawks. I think everybody on 437 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: the rams was looking for a short run and here 438 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: it comes. Russ going for the throat and he finds 439 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: Hollister in the back corner up the ends off for six. 440 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: The sayhof stretch their lead and they are two minutes 441 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: and fifty one seconds away from being NFC West Champs. 442 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: Bump as a play caller, talk to me about this 443 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: route because this is one of the best things you'll 444 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: see out there. It was just you want to talk 445 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: about poetry. Pete mentioned it on this touchdown for Jacob Hollister. 446 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: But tell me through this route, how does Jake Hollister 447 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: get as open as he did and how do they 448 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: execute this play? Man? This is beautiful. It's third and five. 449 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: They're in a two by two formation. You gotta lock 450 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: it in DK up top. You guys swaying Hollister down 451 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: at the bottom. They gotta go to DK and Locker right, 452 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: they gotta go DK lock it No, Pete Carol says, look, 453 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: we saw the matchup that we want to see man defense. 454 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: Swayne is on the outside, Hollister is inside. Now Pee said, 455 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't a pickplay, Bump. You know, we just have 456 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: to They just crossed each other. We know what you're 457 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish here. It is a pick play. You 458 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: just can't call the pickplay because NFL is always listening. 459 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: So rip Freddy Sway does. He attacks the defender over 460 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: a Hollister right, and he doesn't step in front of him, 461 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: He doesn't get any contact with him, but he gets 462 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: in his lane just enough to where he has to 463 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: go underneath him and try to get over the top 464 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: of Hollistrip. At that point it's a rap. Hallister does 465 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: a great job of being patient and allowing Freddy swayin 466 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: to work for him. He knows, look, if I can 467 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: allow Freddie to get over the top of me, I 468 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: give a little wiggle boom, I'm gonna get outside. And 469 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: at that point you don't even have to be fast. 470 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: You just gotta be quick. You gets a little three 471 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: to five step burst and you're good. Russell Wilson then 472 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: just drops a dime right over his charter. He high 473 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: points it instead instead of landing drop into the bucket, 474 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: which I liked because dbs like to make plays when 475 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: you dropping in the buck beautiful throw clutch. Russell Wilson 476 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: went to the number three tight end and the number 477 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: four receivers side instead of going up top to his 478 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: playmare because that just lets you know how much trust 479 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: there is on this football team. And I love it too, because, 480 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, ye had DK and tied at the 481 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: top of the screen. That's exactly where the Rams think 482 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: they're going. And Russell doesn't even look their way. And 483 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: everything's great because the other thing, too is Damian Lewis 484 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: kind of gets beat and he gets I'm pretty sure 485 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: that's Aaron Donald who beats him, and he's coming right 486 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: near Russell Wilson, and Russell just made a great throw. 487 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: He steps back, he knows the pressure is coming, and 488 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: he goes off his back foot just throws a dime 489 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: like you mentioned it, and everything about this plays is beautiful, 490 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: like you said, Freddie Swaine Jaya Pollister. It doesn't matter 491 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: if you're on the field on offense. Russell Wilson's gonna 492 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: find you. And this is third down. This is the 493 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: game's online because listen, if the Seahawks don't convert, they 494 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: kick a field ball to one score game, the Rams 495 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: are still in the ball game. So Nail and mccoffin 496 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: love to see it. Bump and the Seahawks are just 497 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: playing such good football right now, and I of it, 498 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: which brings us to a very very very very special 499 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: victory formation. Here's the best formation in football, the victory formation. 500 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: That's it. Eighteen seconds left and the Seahawks start to 501 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: head in the middle of the field. The Rams do 502 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: the same. What a game here in Looming Field today? 503 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: Two defenses help bet for leather and the Seahawks played better, 504 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks feeding the Rams here in Seattle to win 505 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: the NFC West title by a score of twenty to nine. Yes, 506 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: the Hawks are they champions NFC West locked it down 507 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: first time since twenty sixteen. And I love it. I 508 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: love it. I want more of it. These guys are 509 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: gonna go on a rundown. I'm feeling good about this 510 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: football team. The Hawks host the playoff game. No matter 511 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: what now, no matter what happens, the Hawks host the 512 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: playoff game. I know it doesn't mean a lot because 513 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: the fans aren't there, but it does mean a lot, 514 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and that means you did what you're supposed to do 515 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: during the regular season to put yourself in a position 516 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: to at least be comfortable when you take the field 517 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: at Luminfield. I'm juiced, I'm ready to go, and they 518 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: still have a chance to get the number one seed. 519 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: Choby No, I love it too, because here's the thing. Man, Yes, 520 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: the fans aren't there, but to not have to put 521 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: extra travel this team handles traveling on the road, obviously, 522 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: we know that, but to not have to worry about 523 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: anything about that, to sleep at the same hotel room 524 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: you always sleep that at the High and Bellevue, get 525 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: to see your family and night before, and do all 526 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: the things. So that's huge. To host the game at 527 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: Central or excuse me, Luminfield. The Seahawks are seven and 528 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: one this year at home. They did everything they did 529 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: needed to do to host the playoff game. Defense proved 530 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: it was not a fluke. They can shut down good offenses. 531 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: They step up to the play. Love to see it. 532 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: This defense is playing in championship football and the Seahawks 533 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: the sky's the limit for them. This year offense didn't 534 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: play their greatest game, but they played a solid game. 535 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: They were better on third down. I believe they complete 536 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: a forty seven percent of the third downs and they 537 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: made big plays when big plays needed to be made. 538 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: Hollister gets redemption last year, same end zone. Little short 539 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: doesn't get in to win a division. He is the 540 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: guy who puts the Rams out with that last touchdown 541 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: with two minutes left in the game. That's fun to 542 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: see and the Seahawks get revenge on the Rams. Man, 543 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: let's be one hunting the Randoms. We're two and five 544 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: are He's gonna be the Hawks two and five against 545 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: Rams before this game since McVeagh has been there, it 546 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: has to be nice. I know, Pete Carroll, he's gonna 547 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: play take the high road and not talk anything. But 548 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say for you. You got him, baby, McVay, 549 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: you got him, Pete.
