The tight end spot. 80 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 6: We can say the same thing, right Uncle Will Dissley, 81 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 6: nol Fan, Kobe Parkinson. No change is there. We knew 82 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 6: that was going to go down with this offensive line. 83 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 6: There's been a few additions, usual suspects. Charles Cross, Damien Lewis, 84 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 6: Evan Brown comes over from the Detroit Lions, got Phil 85 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 6: Haynes stepping up, Abe Lucas, then you draft Olu and 86 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 6: Anthony Bradford, Curry and Forsyth and Ben Brown are still there, 87 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 6: but we expect the first five to be out there. 88 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 6: Got some young tackles in their second year, Evan Brown 89 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 6: getting in the mix. Everyone else that we've seen and 90 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 6: heard before, d line, Dre Jones the biggest acquisition from 91 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 6: this team in the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era 92 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 6: during the offseason. Jay Reid is back, Mario Everards, excuse me, Edwards, 93 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 6: Mike Morris, Miles Adam, my guy fan favorite, smoothest voice 94 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 6: in the game, and Cam Young haven't really seen much 95 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 6: out of him yet, but he's gonna He's gonna contribute. 96 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I really like how the Seahawks look up 97 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: front on both sides of the ball. You mentioned Jerraymond Jones, 98 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: Jared Reed, Mario Edwards, the biggest acquisitions we've had, because 99 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: you know, the D line is completely different FM last year, 100 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: no more Alwoods, no Shelby Harris, no l. J. Collier, 101 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: none of those guys in poona Ford. Guys did some 102 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: good things for the Seahawks. But I'm really excited about 103 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 4: Dramane Jones and j Reed. Jay Reid coming back to 104 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: the Seahawks. We know what he did the first time around. 105 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: He's been at Stopson, Green Bay, Kansas City. Really excited 106 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: about what Jay Reid's going to bring. And I think 107 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: this team's going to get a lot better on the 108 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: defensive line, especially stopping the run, which we will get 109 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 4: into a little bit later. Linebacker fifty four is back 110 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 4: in the Seahawks uniform. All's right with the world obviously there. 111 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 4: Jordan Brooks back from his ACL injury. One of the 112 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 4: craziest recoveries I've ever seen ever. The fact that he 113 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 4: tears his acl and in January and is going to 114 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 4: start Week one, I mean, bump, that is outrageous. Devin 115 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: Bush comes over from the Steelers. You're going to see 116 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 4: him out there a lot, John radagaan Nick Blore, and 117 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: then on the outside Shennon Wosu, Darryl Taylor, Boyer, Derek Hall, 118 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: Tyreek Smith really excited about Derek Hall coming from Auburn. 119 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 4: He's gonna be a guy who can make a lot 120 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 4: of noise this year. 121 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: And then also Tyreek. 122 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 4: Smith didn't see him at all last year at Ohio 123 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 4: State kind of essentially red shirted with a medical injury 124 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: last year. But he made a lot of plays in 125 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 4: the preseason obviously, Boya and Chenna speaks for itself in DT. 126 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 4: So at linebacker, we're gonna make a lot of plays 127 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: and a lot of noise. 128 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 6: Bump, Yeah, man, I'm looking for an uptick. Chenna got 129 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 6: his money. He's gonna go out there and back it 130 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 6: up in ball out. DT's gonna, I think take another step. 131 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 6: Boye Mafe is one of those guys who I think 132 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 6: gets enough gets attention, but not enough attention. Man, his 133 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 6: growth is gonna be great as well. I'm going to 134 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 6: the corners man. We got Reek Woland, the pro bowler. 135 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 6: He will be back. Had a little minor surgery during 136 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 6: the offseason. He's good to go. Trey Brown has been 137 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 6: listed as a starter. They've been waiting for this dude 138 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 6: to really get his time to shine for a long time. 139 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 6: Now he's gonna get it. Mike Jackson are underdog hero. 140 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 6: Love what he brings to the table. Devin Witherspoon hasn't 141 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 6: practiced much, sounds like he's full go this week. 142 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 5: Will see how much he plays. 143 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 6: Kobe Bryant, the versatile guy out there corner safety Nickel 144 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 6: doesn't matter, he can do it all. And then we 145 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 6: have Kyu Blue Kelly as well. Safety spot. You bring 146 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 6: over Julian Love to kind of fill a void in 147 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 6: Jamal Adams absence. He's not gonna play this week. You 148 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 6: draft Jered Reid. He makes the ball club. Love to 149 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 6: see that. And then the og Quandre Diggs, the most 150 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 6: reliable guy you got in that secondary. We're saying a 151 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 6: lot of the same names and I think that's good, 152 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 6: but we're also sprinkling in some new new over there too. 153 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. 154 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 4: Devin Witherspoon, We're obviously excited to see him. He's fifth 155 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 4: overall picking the draft, and he's a guy that can play. 156 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: We know he can play. 157 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 4: We haven't seen a ton of them just because of 158 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 4: injuries and whatnot, but great sight to him back out 159 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: at practice. Kobe Bryant, super versatile, had him playing safety 160 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: in the preseason. We know he can play nickel, we 161 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 4: know he could play outside. Quandre Diggs and Jamal you 162 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 4: don't really need to say nothing about them. If they're 163 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: both on the field, they can ball out. Get Julian 164 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 4: Love from the Giant. So there's so much depth. The 165 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 4: secondary might be the best unit on the team, which 166 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: is hard to say considering we look at the receivers 167 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,239 Speaker 4: and some of the running backs on the squad. So bump, 168 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: this team is deep obviously if you go specialists, my 169 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 4: guy Michael Dixon still back there, Jason Myers kicking the 170 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: field goals, and long snapper Chrystal. 171 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: Shout out to Brian Walters if you're. 172 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 4: Listening, because he's all about Crystal and long snapper battles 173 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: throughout the preseason. That was so bump. I think if 174 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: looking at all the roster. Of all the names, who 175 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 4: do you think is poisons to have a breakout. 176 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 3: Season this year? 177 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 6: Man, I look at this and I got to start 178 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 6: at the old line. A breakout season just means we're 179 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 6: not calling their name a lot, right, So that's what 180 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 6: I want to see on that offensive line. I think 181 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 6: that eventually we'll see some of Anthony Bradford in Oulu 182 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 6: and if they're able to contribute, I think that's gonna 183 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 6: help that offensive line because we know there's always a 184 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: big rotation over there. Breakout season, I know I want 185 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 6: to see it from Daryl Taylor nine and a half 186 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 6: last year. I think you can call last year a 187 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 6: breakout season, but I want to see him kind of 188 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 6: building what he did last year. And then Julian Love again, 189 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 6: he's a veteran. He was a captain over there with 190 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: the Giants. We know that he's versatile, but we haven't 191 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 6: seen him in a Seahawk jersey. Those are some names 192 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 6: that I'm looking at. And then of course, you know 193 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 6: receiver for Jake Bobbo. Man, I've been talking about Jake 194 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 6: Bobo since Man since he was undrafted, you know what 195 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 6: I mean. So Jake Bobo for the show I got 196 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 6: to throw him in there. Man who you like, oh hey, 197 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 6: and you kick it around with more Bobo. 198 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: I mean, he's been he's kind of been like a 199 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: phenomenon that's taken storm because usually you have a a 200 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: guy that you fall in love with in the preseason, 201 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: but then he kind of drifts off into oblivion. He 202 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: maybe makes a squad, maybe he doesn't, maybe he's practice squad. 203 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 4: But Bubbo's gonna be on the roster and Bubble's gonna play. 204 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see what he can do out there. 205 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 4: You know, for me, honestly, it's it's all over the board. 206 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: But I really think offensively, Jackson Smith and Jake buzz 207 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: is gonna add a different level to this offense. You know, 208 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: for years, I feel like the Seahawks have been searching 209 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 4: for a third receiver option. Well, they drafted at number one, 210 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: who's gonna play like a number three. So he's gonna 211 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 4: be causing fits for defenses. And then defensively, I'm really 212 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 4: excited about Jay Reed and Draymond Jones. I mean, I 213 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: think they're gonna change this defensive line. On defensive the 214 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 4: Seahawks can be a top fifteen run stopping team. If 215 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: even if they're fifteen seventeen, just not thirty, This team's 216 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 4: gonna win four more games just on that alone. So 217 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: I'm excited to see these guys. I think there's a 218 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: lot of good that can come from this roster. But 219 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 4: they are having an opponent that we're very familiar with. 220 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 4: This is actually gonna be the fiftieth regular season meeting 221 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 4: with this team. 222 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: What's on tap? What's on tap? You love to at them? 223 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 4: The Los Angeles Rams coming in from last year a 224 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,479 Speaker 4: wild year for them last year, Bump, They've finished. 225 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: Five and twelve, third place in the NFC West. 226 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, they came into last season, you know, the defending champs, 227 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: you know, went through, had a great season, win the 228 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: Super Bowl, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Cup, Odell Beckham, Junior, Aaron Donald, 229 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 4: all the star power, and then last year, well, father 230 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 4: time got him injury. Stafford gets hurt, Cup gets hurt, 231 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: Donald gets hurt, and the season just falls. 232 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: Apart early on. And they didn't look good at all 233 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: last year. 234 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: They still played the Seahawks twice, both times last year 235 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: took a game winning drive in the first one. So 236 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 4: it's just they're interesting, though, Bump, I mean, a lot 237 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: of other guys are not on the squad anymore, and 238 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 4: we're not. 239 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 3: Really sure about Cooper Cup. 240 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 4: But I feel like the Rams always play the Hawks tough, 241 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: and with Matthew Stafford healthy, they're always something you're gonna 242 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 4: have to contend with Sean mcvagh and all that. But 243 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: you know, how do you think they can bounce back 244 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: from last year? And you think this is kind of 245 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: a rebuild slash retool, I don't know all you want 246 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 4: to call it, but it's just another transition year for them. 247 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 6: They transitioning. I don't know what they're gonna call the transition, 248 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 6: but it's definitely a transition going on. Man, Lots of 249 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 6: names are gone, Jayalen Ramsey ain't here no more, Lennon 250 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 6: Floyd isn't isn't there anymore. But you're right, they always 251 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 6: play the Seahawks top. So I'm gonna rattle off some 252 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 6: numbers but they don't really matter. But I'm gonna let 253 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 6: you know what they were last year and then you 254 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 6: do what you want with that. Offensively, the rounds were 255 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 6: thirty second overall. How many teams are in the NFL's. 256 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 3: Thirty two thirty two? 257 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 6: Okay, So the worst offense in the league, which is 258 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 6: crazy to say. With McVeigh, Matthew Stafford and Cup the 259 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 6: guys were banged up. They were twenty seventh when it 260 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 6: comes to running the rock, twenty seventh when it comes 261 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 6: to passing it, in twenty seventh when it comes to 262 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 6: points per game. On the other side, the Hawks were 263 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: thirteenth ranked overall, eighteenth running the rock, eleventh when throwing 264 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 6: that thing, and then ninth in points per game, averaging 265 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 6: twenty three point nine. I can almost guarantee you these 266 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 6: offensive numbers for the Rams will not be that at 267 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 6: the end of the season this year. But that lets 268 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 6: you know just the type of trials and tribulations they 269 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 6: were going through last year. 270 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 5: Super Bowl champs. 271 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 6: So the worst offense in the league, We've never seen 272 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 6: it before. Something tells me they'll be better. 273 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: It's hard to think they couldn't be, man. I mean, honestly, 274 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 4: if Stafford just out there playing, and even if Cooper 275 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 4: Cup plays half the games, it'll be different. 276 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: Though. 277 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: I mean, it's not the same roster, not the same firepower. 278 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 4: But Sean McVay is too good of a coach to 279 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: falter like that again. And you know, they were okay 280 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 4: defensively despite all the injuries they had. Like you mentioned, 281 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: it's the nineteenth and total defense thirteenth to geinst the run, 282 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: twenty first against the pass, So they took some decent 283 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: things defensively. It'll be interesting to see what happens this year. 284 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 4: But you know, these head to head numbers will definitely 285 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: mean more in about a month or so, get some 286 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: real bases off it. But from the Seahawks standpoint, just 287 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: looking at head to head total defense, there are twenty 288 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 4: six thirtieth against the run, thirteenth to against the pass, 289 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 4: in twenty fifth in points per game. Obviously, all numbers 290 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: a Pete Carroll coach team does not want to be in, 291 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 4: and they're definitely going to look to improve those numbers 292 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 4: this year. But yeah, lock and change in a year, 293 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: and I feel like we have two teams kind of 294 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 4: going in a different direction. 295 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 3: But we will see. 296 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: But we mentioned I kind of touched on a little 297 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: bit alluding to this matchup with the Rams. This is 298 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 4: a fiftieth regular season matchup coming ahead, so let's know. 299 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: The history, no your history. 300 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: The Seahawks lead that all time series twenty seven to 301 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: twenty two. The Rams do have a two to zero 302 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: lead in the postseason. Last time these two teams met, 303 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 4: the Seahawks kept their playoff chances alive beating the Rams 304 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 4: in a thriller nineteen to sixteen and overtime in Week seventeen. 305 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 5: Bump. 306 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: That game was stressful. We had to win to get in. 307 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 4: We also needed the Lions to beat the Packers at 308 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: Green Bay, something that no one ever thought could actually happen. 309 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: But before the Seahawks even get to that Sunday night game, 310 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 4: they had to win themselves. It was a slow game, 311 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 4: you know, only two touchdowns score by both teams. The 312 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: Seahawks were trailing at the half. Tyler Lockett makes it 313 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: a tie game. Going down the stretch, the Seahawks feel 314 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: like they have it. Jason Myers goes out to kick 315 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: a field goal. He's been completely sure handed money all 316 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: season long. 317 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: Things it off the uprights. 318 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 4: Seahawks go down or go into overtime, and then go 319 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: three and now in the first possession. So I remember, 320 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 4: we're down there in the Ring of Honor, getting ready 321 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 4: for postgame show, and it's not looking good. Man Pitt 322 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: and the stomach we're concerned. Well, thank god for Quandre Diggs. 323 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 4: Quandre Digs comes over, makes a great interception on that 324 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: first drive, points the ball at Bobby Wagner, who was 325 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: playing for the wrong team at the time. Seahawks marks 326 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: down the field, kick a field goal, win the game, 327 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 4: get to the postseason. So definitely want to see more 328 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 4: of that because the Rams had won a lot of 329 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: this matchup in recent years. So it's good to see 330 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: the Seahawks get a clean sweep. Well, as we keep 331 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 4: moving along, we're gonna show you what's going on. What's 332 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 4: the word in the West. 333 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 5: And the Seahawks or the NFC West Champs again. 334 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: What's the word in the West? 335 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: On Hawk talk a right, Well, we haven't played a game. Yes, 336 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 5: we're gonna tell you what was the word in the West. 337 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 6: And twenty twenty two, San Fran won the division thirteen 338 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 6: wins and four losses. 339 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 5: The Seahawks the surprise team in the division. 340 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 6: Honestly, when ninety eight made the playoffs, we talked about 341 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 6: the roums. They struggle last year they were five and 342 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 6: twelve and then the Cardinals were four and thirteen. 343 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: The Hawks made it back to the playoffs in twenty 344 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 5: twenty two. 345 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 6: Man, they make it to the playoffs under peat Caroll 346 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 6: ten out of thirteen seasons. 347 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 5: That's exactly what they do for the Rams. 348 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 6: You win the Super Bowl right going into the season, 349 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 6: you're feeling good, but things fall apart. They finished going 350 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 6: five and twelve and had a bunch of injuries. As 351 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 6: far as Arizona wasn't anything really good from start to finish, 352 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 6: they were all bad. There were fourteen excuse me, four 353 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 6: and thirteen, and that was a year they moved from 354 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 6: Cliff Kingsbury. At the end of the season, it was like, 355 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 6: all right, this is this ain't working something ay right? 356 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 6: I think from the outside looking in, we felt like 357 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 6: something wasn't right over there and everything was exposed Kyler 358 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 6: more he tears his acl he's on the pup list. 359 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 6: There was a lot going on in this league. You 360 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 6: got the fall of Arizona. They've never really been great, 361 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 6: but they always have talent. 362 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 5: They do nothing. 363 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 6: You got the Super Bowl champions looking really bad. You 364 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 6: got the Niners doing nine of things over the past 365 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 6: few years. But the surprise team was our Seattle Seahawks. 366 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 6: Interesting year in the West last year, now. 367 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, no question. 368 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned Arizona usually was a kind of 369 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 4: a thorn in the Seahawks side. But you know, now, 370 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 4: they don't have DeAndre Hopkins, they don't have JJ Watt, 371 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 4: they don't have AJ Green. They traded Isaiah Simmons for 372 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 4: like a seventh round pick. 373 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 3: He's a first rounder. 374 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 4: I mean, so yeah, and they got a new coach 375 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 4: who you know, wait and see. I'm not in a 376 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 4: pass judgment. I know a lot of people are poking 377 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 4: fun and some of the videos are putting out some 378 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 4: of his opening press conferences. 379 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: I'll wait. I'll wait until they play game before I 380 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: say anything there. 381 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 5: But I'll do it, I know. But I could be wrong. 382 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: He's not pumping you up. You didn't get pumped up 383 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: by those videos. 384 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 5: There's no fire in my gut ness. 385 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, bro, it definitely didn't. Didn't set the world on 386 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 4: fire there. You're not gonna win the media. But they 387 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 4: had a tough year. So interesting to see where they're at, 388 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: especially with Kaler Murrays starting on the on the pup 389 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: and Colt McCoy's out of there, you know what I mean. 390 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a very different roster from Arizona. 391 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: We mentioned the rams we're gonna get in a lot 392 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: of those matchups. Moving forward, but they're a different team. 393 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: And then bump, you got the San Francisco forty nine Ers, 394 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 4: sang Niners man the team Seahawk fans love to hate. 395 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 4: They won the division last year, beat the Seahawks three times, 396 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: Vancy Nantasy championship game, and before any Niner fans jump 397 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 4: on and you know, beat their chest. 398 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: Look at the last decade. Please y'all got us three 399 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 3: times last year. 400 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: But please look at the numbers, because do yourself a 401 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 4: favor and go to Pro Footballreverence dot com. Look at 402 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 4: the head to head to match up. It is not favorable. 403 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 4: I just want to put that out there. Becau second, 404 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 4: I already feel my forty nine fans you should put 405 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: it up reaching out there talking noise. But no, I 406 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: mean they're a good football team. I'd be lying if 407 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 4: I didn't tell you that they have probably the best 408 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: roster in the NFC top to bottom. I mean, they 409 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 4: got dudes, They got guys who can play. But the 410 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 4: thing that bump, the biggest question mark for me is 411 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 4: the quarter though the Trey Lance era, it's done. They 412 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: traded him to Dallas. It never really got started. Jimmy 413 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 4: g He's in Vegas now, Rock Party was mister irrelevant, 414 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 4: and even last year I gave him credit because I 415 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 4: feel like mister Relevan's kind of a dumb thing. 416 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 3: He got drafted. 417 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 4: He's a good player, but it was such a small 418 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 4: sample size bump. I feel like we're kind of ready 419 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 4: to crown him and at the most important position in football. 420 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 4: I don't care if you have the best rosster in football. 421 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 4: If he doesn't play like he should play, they're not 422 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 4: gonna go as far as they want. Again, they're one 423 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: of the best teams in the NFL, hands down, but 424 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: I do think if the Seahawks are improved defensively, I 425 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: feel like they closed that gap and if Rock Party 426 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 4: isn't that guy, the Niners are gonna have a lot 427 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 4: more season than they think. 428 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 5: Here's the thing. 429 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 6: Nine games we saw Rock Party, nine really good games. 430 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 6: He had the best nine games that we've seen out 431 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 6: of a rookie in NFL history in some categories. Okay, 432 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 6: you got to come back and prove that, just like 433 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 6: people were saying, you don't have to come back and 434 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 6: prove this year that he's a Pro Bowl and tight 435 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 6: quarterback broadcasts to do that. I think he's okay. I 436 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 6: think he'll be fine. But I think you said it perfectly. 437 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 6: If this Seahawks team is better against the run and 438 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 6: can corral quarterbacks, we will be just fine. A side note, 439 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 6: Nick Bosa ain't going nowhere. He just signed a five year, 440 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy million dollar deal, so we still. 441 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 5: Got to deal with him. That's all good. We got 442 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 5: lineman for that. We've been drafting good. 443 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: It's all good. Charles Cross and Abe Lucas, they're good 444 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: to go. 445 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 4: But dang, I'm not gonna watch you. I was hoping 446 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 4: that he found h moved on a greater pastures in 447 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 4: the AFC, AFC, go get your money's what that's what 448 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 4: eighteen and a half sacks gets him. Okay, let's get 449 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 4: back into these rams and look at the matchups. 450 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: Man up, man up on Hawk Talk. 451 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 4: Starting off with the quarterbacks like we usually do, Matthew 452 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 4: Stafford taking on this Seahawks defense, and Matthew Stafford We've 453 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 4: alluded to it throughout the podcast today. 454 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: He's got a. 455 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: Tough year in twenty twenty two, playing in only nine 456 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: games as he dealt with a concussion. Then he had 457 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 4: a spinal cord contusion which caused numbness in the leg 458 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 4: shut him down for the final two months of the season, 459 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 4: but a lot of the struggles were out of his control. 460 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 4: You know, in those nine games he played, he was 461 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: two of six for three zero three two th eighty 462 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 4: seven yards ten touchdowns, but he did have eight interceptions. 463 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 4: In Bump, this man was sacked twenty nine times in 464 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: nine games. Yeah, for context, for context, the Super Bowl year, 465 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: he was sacked thirty times that whole season. 466 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 5: Didn't this gracious? 467 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: And you know because of that, the Rams did have 468 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 4: the most starting lineup combinations on the offensive line in 469 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 4: the NFL last year and gave up fifty nine sacks 470 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: as a team, So there was a lot going on there. Also, 471 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 4: Cooper Cup, their best offensive weapon, the best receiver in 472 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 4: the game, hands down, twenty twenty one sent all those records. 473 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: You know, he only played nine games.

We'll wait and see on him again. 477 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: Cooper Cup never wished the injury on anybody, the pride 478 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: of Eastern Washington.

Too many balls are They're a good coach. 491 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: We gotta be ready to go.

He what in five hundred and seventy two 495 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 6: attempts to at three hundred and ninety nine completions forty 496 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 6: two hundred yards, completed sixty nine point seven to six 497 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 6: percent of his passes, almost in that seventy percent mark 498 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 6: that we've been chasing ever since Russell was here. He 499 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 6: became the third QBING franchise history to throw for thirty touchdowns, 500 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 6: the only quarterback in the NFC to throw for thirty 501 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 6: touchdowns now at that sixty nine percent completion rate, best 502 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 6: in the NFL. He also he was eighth and passing 503 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 6: yards fourth and touchdowns fifth and passer rating and six 504 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 6: in QBR at sixty one point one. No denying that 505 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 6: this man balled out last year, and he oh side 506 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 6: note sixty eight carrics for three out of six six 507 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 6: yards in a touchdown. 508 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: He can get busy a little bit too. 509 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 6: He's not sure your run first type of quarterback, but 510 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 6: if there's grass in front of him, he'll be ready 511 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 6: to go. We expect him to improve on that number, 512 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 6: especially because you got an O line group that added 513 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 6: some pieces. Your tackles are coming back. You have a 514 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 6: running back room that has more talent. You got Ken Walkers, 515 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 6: Zach Sharpenney will talk about these guys. And then you 516 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 6: add a receiver who's your number three receiver, who has 517 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 6: the ability to be a number one receiver. The Rams 518 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 6: were twenty first against the pass last year, allowing twenty 519 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 6: to twenty six yards per game. So let's get after 520 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 6: you all have to see Jayalen Rams ain't got to 521 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 6: worry about dk Jalen going at it in in personal 522 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 6: fouls and all that stuff, weaking his focus on the game. 523 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 6: But Gino Smith is going to have a good year. 524 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 6: I believe in I believe in his approach. I'm excited 525 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 6: to see him. 526 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: He's not a fluke man. I mean it's straight up 527 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 4: a guy is confident as him and does what he 528 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: does after not playing for as long as he did. 529 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 4: That doesn't happen by accident. That doesn't happen week after week. 530 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 4: You don't throw for almost seventy percent completion percentage by accident. 531 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 4: I mean that doesn't. You can you can. Maybe you 532 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 4: might have a ton of touchdowns, but you could have 533 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 4: don Jameis Winston. You might have thirty five touchdowns, but 534 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 4: thirty five interceptions. That wasn't Gino. I definitely think he's 535 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 4: gonna repeat and have a great year. You mentioned the 536 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 4: running backs, Ken Walker, you know, looking at this matchup 537 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 4: with the Rams front seven, walk Ed won hell of 538 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: a rookie season as much of these guys did. He 539 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 4: joined Kurt Warners the second rookie in franchise history to 540 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 4: rush over over one thousand yards, second in franchise history 541 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: with five hundred dard rushing games. His nine touchdowns lit 542 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: all rookies second in the NFL in runs of twenty 543 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 4: yards or more with ten. He only cheriled Nick Chubb. 544 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 4: And he did all that and only eleven starts in 545 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 4: fifteen games played, ran for over a thousand yards nine touchdown. 546 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 4: Should have got Rookie of the Year. I know I'm biased. 547 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 4: It could have been him, It should have been Reek. 548 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 4: He unfortunately went to the two dudes on the Jets, 549 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 4: the team that we beat at the end of the year. 550 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 4: But no, no MNFL. Those guys are baller two. Garrett Wilson, 551 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 4: you're a good player, sas okay. 552 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah whatever. 553 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 4: I'm just putting on for my guy, ken Walker because 554 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 4: I thought he should have got offensive Rookie in the year. Now, 555 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 4: what's gonna be cool about this season is you're gonna 556 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 4: pair Ken Walker or Zach Sharbonne second round pick, great 557 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 4: player out. 558 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 3: I played under Chip Kelly. 559 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 4: And I'm really interested toe how those those Carris are 560 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 4: getting get divvied up. You know, ken Walker is a 561 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 4: volume guy. I feel like he needs at least fifteen 562 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: or so. But sharber Day runs aggressive man. He runs aggressively. 563 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: He can catch the rock out of the backfield. He 564 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 4: can do a lot of things, so he'll definitely be 565 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 4: pushing Ken for snaps. So I'm really excited to see that. 566 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: And one cool stat I found ou as I was 567 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 4: going through some of the statbucks. 568 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: Here is the Rams last year. 569 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 4: You know, they a lot of things went wrong, but 570 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 4: they're actually pretty good against the run. They only gave 571 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 4: up two hundred yard rushers all of last season, Austin 572 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 4: Eckler and the other Ken Walker, Ken Walker the third. 573 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 4: So and here's the other thing, bump is Bobby Wagner 574 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 4: is playing on the right team this year. 575 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 3: So that's a guy you don't got to worry about. 576 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: You said you don't got to worry. 577 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 4: About Leonard Floyd, don't get worried about none of them, 578 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 4: which is great, but bum but I think there is 579 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: one dude that the Seahawks do you have. 580 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 3: To worry about. Who's that? 581 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 5: Not just the Hawks, everybody in the league gotta worry 582 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 5: about this dude. 583 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 6: And Aaron Donald, one of the most dominant football players 584 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 6: in our lifetime and in football history. Man, he missed 585 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 6: a lot of games last year, only played in two 586 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 6: regular season games. 587 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: Only missed two regular season before that. 588 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 6: Ye, Aaron Donald, Man, I only missed two regular season 589 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 6: games before last year. I was back in twenty seventeen. 590 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 6: Donald played in eleven games. In twenty two. He had 591 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 6: forty nine tackles, five sacks, ten TFLs, and eleven quarterback hits. 592 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 6: And guess what, still voted to the Pro Bowl because 593 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 6: my man got a resume and people know when he's healthy, 594 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 6: he is dominant as heck man. Twenty twenty two was 595 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 6: the first season he had less than ten sacks from 596 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 6: the de tackle position, from the interior lineman he gets 597 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 6: sacks is so crazy to me. 598 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 5: That's why Chris Jones wants is Monday. 599 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 6: That's why all these and terror lineman once they hit 600 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 6: double digit sacks are like, look, you know it's hard 601 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 6: for us, all right, We're gonna have to go get it. 602 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 6: But uh, he's a man just like everybody else. He 603 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 6: has his bad snaps, he has his bad days. He's 604 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 6: not gonna be perfect, but you know you have to 605 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 6: know where he is on the football field at all times. 606 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 6: Not gonna be hard to find him. Look at the 607 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 6: one tech or the three tech. He'll be right there. 608 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 6: I'm looking at Evan Brown. I'm looking at the guards 609 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 6: and I'm saying, all right, man, help out when you can. 610 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 6: You get that double team on those zone plays, Let's 611 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 6: do it. Let's run trapped towards him so we can 612 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 6: kind of wash him out. 613 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 5: Of these things. Easier said than done. 614 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 6: Not looking forward to seeing Aaron down on the football field, 615 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 6: but you respect the man and what he's done in 616 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 6: this league. 617 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: Oh no question about it. He is the start start 618 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 4: to finish your career. He's got to be, you know, 619 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 4: other than some of the guys in the Legion to Boom, 620 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: the best football player that I think I've ever seen, defectively. 621 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 4: I mean he is. He is that good. And yeah, 622 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 4: he's getting older all that to talk about retirement. I 623 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: was hoping he's retired. He still hasn't done that. But 624 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 4: I like where everon Brown's at, I like he's kind 625 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 4: of he's bigger than Austoin b Life, you know, I 626 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 4: feel like he's more suited for that matchup. So we 627 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 4: will definitely see flipping the other side for the running 628 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 4: backs for the Rams cam Akers against that Seahawk front seven. 629 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 4: We know the Seahawks struggled to stop the run last year. 630 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 4: That was the achilles heel, their thirtieth in the league, 631 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 4: giving up one hundred and fifty yards per game. That's 632 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 4: why you bring in a Draymond Jones. That's where you 633 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 4: bring in a Jaren Rey, and that's why you bring 634 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 4: back a Bobby Wagner. In fact, they're gonna play huge 635 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: roles in that because they're those good at football players. 636 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 4: You know they fit this system. They're gonna stuff They're 637 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: not only are they gonna stop the run, they helped 638 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 4: get after the passer. I think it's gonna help from 639 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 4: the entire all levels of that defense. Now cam Akers 640 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: can play. He's kind of had an up and. 641 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 3: Down career with the Rams. 642 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: Twenty twenty second round pick, plays decently, misses all of 643 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 4: twenty one the regular season of the Super Bowl year 644 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: with an achilles injury. Comes back to the playoff run, 645 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 4: and then last year he was the starter, then randomly 646 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 4: he wasn't, then he got benched, and then he was 647 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 4: gonna get traded, then he wasn't traded, then he was 648 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 4: back in the starting lineup, and then played really well 649 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 4: at the end the year. Had three hundred yard games 650 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 4: in a row, three touchdowns, three hundred and forty five yards, 651 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 4: so he can play. He's gonna get a majority of 652 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 4: the carries, bump. But if he's going off, we're gonna 653 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 4: have a long day because Cam Akers. I'm hoping he 654 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 4: gets held to about fifty yards on twenty carries because 655 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 4: you know, they're gonna try to run the rock. They're 656 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 4: gonna see they're gonna test the Seahawfs defense see if 657 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 4: they've improved as much as we think they have. So 658 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 4: I definitely think there's gonna be big improvement there. But 659 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 4: Cam Akers is a guy that cannot have a big day, 660 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 4: otherwise it might be a long one for the Seahawks. 661 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 6: Here's the bad thing about Cam Akers. I drafted him 662 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 6: my fantasy football team. Here's a good news. He's sting 663 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 6: on the bench that first week. I also already did 664 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 6: he ain't gonna play against the Seahawks, and his relationship 665 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 6: with the Rams is complicated, right you mentioned up he's down, 666 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 6: he's healthy, he's not. But when he is healthy, he 667 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 6: can play some good football. So a gang tackle, get 668 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 6: to the football, do what you gotta do. Draymond Jones, 669 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 6: Jay Reed, Bobby, come on, let's go. Let let's make 670 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 6: some tackles. 671 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 5: All right, we're going over to our guys. 672 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 6: In my opinion, probably the second getting best receiving corps 673 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 6: in this league. Only team I put in front of 674 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 6: him are the Bengals, just because we've seen it and 675 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 6: it's proven. I think by the end of this year, 676 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 6: this could be the best receiving trio in the league. 677 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 6: I'm talking DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and JS and going 678 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 6: against the Rams secondary, the Rams secondary which has no 679 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 6: more Jay than Ramsey, So we're good for that. Metcalf 680 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty two to ninety receptions, one thousand and 681 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 6: forty eight yards and six touchdowns. Lockett in twenty twenty 682 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 6: two eighty four receptions, his fourth consecutive thousand yard season 683 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 6: in nine touchdowns. Now he became the second player in 684 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 6: franchise history to do that for consecutive thousand yards. 685 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 5: That's behind Hall of Famer Steve Largen. 686 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 6: You know, if you don't ever mention Steve Largen as 687 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 6: one of the great receivers in the NFL, when you 688 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 6: talk to people around here, they will come after you. 689 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 5: It's happened to me before I apologize Steve Largen. I 690 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 5: will never do that again. 691 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 6: Lockett moved into third place on sales all time reception 692 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 6: list with five hundred and thirty three receiving yards list 693 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 6: with seven thousand, one hundred moves into second place on 694 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 6: this receiving touchdowns with fifty four dk Metcalf became the 695 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 6: fifth player NFL history with at least three hundred receptions 696 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 6: and four thousand yards and thirty five receiving touchdowns in 697 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 6: its first four seasons. Here's the company he's in. Odell 698 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 6: Beckham did that. AJ Green did that. Randy Moss did that. 699 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 6: Andre Risen all ballers in this league said a single 700 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 6: season career high last year with ninety receptions, third most 701 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 6: in franchise history, and he posted his second career thousand 702 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 6: yard season and moved us into first place for the 703 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 6: most receiving yards to the players first four seasons in 704 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 6: franchise history with four two hundred and eighteen. This is 705 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 6: a guy that people were doubting at the beginning of 706 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 6: his career. 707 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 3: Too. 708 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 5: He can only run a post, he can only run 709 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 5: a go. 710 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 6: This injury was something to be concerned about, but he 711 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 6: has done nothing but ball out and then the new 712 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 6: guy on the block, Jackson Smith and Jigbob in twenty 713 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 6: twenty two, he only played in three games nursing that hamstring. 714 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 6: Twenty twenty one ninety five receptions, sixteen hundred yards, nine touchdowns. 715 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 6: We all remember his Rose Bowl performance. He was the 716 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 6: player on that field. He made it look easy. He 717 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 6: was an All American, All third team Big ten. I mean, 718 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 6: the accolades are crazy with this guy. But once you 719 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 6: put eyes on him and you see what he can do, 720 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 6: you understand why he got all these accolades and how 721 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 6: he's gonna help this football team. 722 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: It's it's unbelievable. 723 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 4: Was from the first day he went almost the entire 724 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: training camp without dropping a ball. That any not just like, okay, 725 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 4: from start to finish, your practice doesn't matter if it 726 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 4: was individual, seven on seven, team, whatever it was, if 727 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 4: he was targeted, he did not drop a ball. He 728 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 4: went almost the entire camp. 729 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 3: And that's so. 730 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 4: I mean, that's why I said at the beginning, man, 731 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: I think Jayson is going to put up some ridiculous 732 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 4: numbers because he is about that life. But you know, 733 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 4: I bump, I feel like this whole team is about 734 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 4: that life. 735 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: Right now. 736 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 4: Okay, now, old teams about that life, let me tell 737 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 4: you how they're gonna get a win on Sunday. 738 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the snat, Michael Dixon puts 739 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: it down. 740 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: That kick is away. 741 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: If that kick is good, say off, bitch gun, it's 742 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: a pens to victory on Hawk Talk Bump. 743 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 4: This game is about the Seahawks, man, I think they're 744 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 4: the better football team on paper. 745 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: I think they're the better roster. 746 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 4: I think when you look at all the differences, the 747 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 4: Seahawks have a better they're better team. 748 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: It just comes down to execution. 749 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 4: Whether the Seahawks be able to do that on Sunday 750 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: with all the moving pieces, all the different stuff on there, 751 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 4: can they execute?
