1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are driving for a spot in the playoffs, 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: while the Chiefs need to finished strong or risk going 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 1: from the number one seed to a wild card in 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: the AFC. Stakes are high as Seahawks Saturday Night gets 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: you ready for a showdown at Century Link Field tonight. 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll joins us with his thoughts on the key matchups. Hey, 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: Jolly Jerry, lest we take the field with Justin brig 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: the Hops Center gives us a unique look at the 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: battle in the trenches. He was my gut because I'm 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: getting my helmet where I want it. And then and 11 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: then I feel like you're hitting up. It's time to 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: make some noise. Wells, this is your team and your show. 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: Seahawks Saturday Night begins now. And welcome to Seahawks Saturday Night. 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Alongside former Seahawks linebacker Dave him and I'm Aaron Levine. Dave. 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: What a matchup tomorrow night, including two of the best 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson. They 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: have similar styles, but how are they different? Well, they're 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: kind of on different paths. And you look at Patrick Mahomes, 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: first of all, I think he's like a young Brett 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: Barr kind of a gun slinger. He's going to run 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: around like Russell Wilson. But the thing is he's thrown 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: at thirty seven times a game. Russell's only thrown at 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: twenty seven times. So Patrick Mahomes has the keys to 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: that offense in Kansas City and it's a ferrari. Russell 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: Wilson has the keys to the offense in Seattle, and 26 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: it's more like a logging truck. They want to run 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: the ball. Russell doesn't throw it that many times, but 28 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: he's more like a point guard where he'll hand it 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: off if he needs to, or he'll take the game 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: into his hands. And that's one of the reasons why 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: I really think Russell should have been in the Pro Bowl. 32 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: He throws it twenty seven times a game, as I mentioned, 33 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: that's dead last in the NFL. Yet he's number three 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: in touchdowns and has the third fewest interceptions. So we'll 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later. But you know, 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: I think Russell is doing just as good of a 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: job for his offense as Patrick Mahomes is for his 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Well, the Seahawks have a top rushing 39 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. The Chiefs defense in terms of 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: the rushing defenses toward the bottom of the league. How 41 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: can the Seahawks turn this into a winning matchup? Grind 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: the ball out in the running game, and that serves 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: two purposes, not only And Dwayne Brown told us this 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: one time, he said, you demoralize the defense. And I've 45 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: been on that side of the ball and you get 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: the ball run on you. It is not good as 47 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: a defense. So the other purpose that can serve though, 48 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: is to keep that Kansas City offense on the sidelines. 49 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: And so you know, if you look at the time 50 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: of possession at the end of the game, if it's 51 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: you know, thirty five or over, which would be really good, 52 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: they have a chance to win this game. Because if 53 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: you can grind out the round, get Chris Carson going 54 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowler Pro Bowl alternate, then I think at 55 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: the end of the day and you win the time 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: of possession game, keep that offense off the field, you 57 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: get a win. Oh, last week, a lot of critical 58 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: plays on offense and defense. We're called back because of penalties. 59 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the Seahawks fourteen penalties for a franchise record 60 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: one hundred forty eight yards. So how do you practice 61 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: eliminating penalties. It's about sloppin us. And really, you know, 62 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: it was surprising to me because the week before on 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, they did a really good job against Minnesota. 64 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: They played really clean. But you can never let the 65 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: officials take a game away from you. And it's not 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: only the one hundred and forty eight yards that they lost, 67 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: it's the opportunity cost. There was another seventy in there 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: of offensive plays that came back, So somewhere around two 69 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen two hundred twenty yards you gave away. Now, 70 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: with that said, I'm sorry that was not passing adherence 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: on Shaquille Griffin. And if those two Jr. Sweezy penalties 72 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: were holding, I was held on every play of my career, 73 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: so I'm sorry that just wasn't holding. You can call 74 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: it on every place. So that part was really frustrating. 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: But again I can sit here and complain about it, 76 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: but this team they have to clean that stuff up. 77 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: The Chief's offense is the best in the league. What 78 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: makes him so tough to defend? Well, I mentioned Mahomes. 79 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: You can throw the ball from pretty much any arm slot, 80 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: great arm talent. Then you've got Tyreek Hill, and I 81 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: call him Alan Iverson on turf. He's an ankle breaker. 82 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got so much speed. He makes cut 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: at full speed. They use him in that fly motion 84 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: sweep and do all kinds of different things with him. 85 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: And then they got Travis Kelsey. And we faced the 86 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: second best tight end in the league last week with 87 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: George Kittle. Travis Kelsey's the first best. He's the best 88 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: tight end in the league by far, and does a 89 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: really good job. They're gonna have to defend him in 90 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: the middle of the field and that's gonna be strong safeties. 91 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Linebackers are really gonna have to watch out for Travis Kelsey. 92 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: The question is who's more like Alan Iverson, Tyree Hill 93 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, or Tyler Lockett, who celebrated a 94 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: touchdown earlier this year with a Iverson impression. The Chiefs, 95 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: by the way leading the league averaging thirty five point 96 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: six points per game, But it starts on the Seahawks 97 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: offense inside of the ball. It always starts with the center. 98 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: Justin britt he was miked up last week. Yeah, hey, 99 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: play off football. They've got to lead pick pick Yeah today, 100 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: Oh you're Mike up, hup, I'm marked up today.

I was walked him back, running back, 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: went in front of me. I don't need a lot. 112 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: I got him because I feel like they're if we're bumping, 113 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: they're trying to play heavy into me, and so you 114 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: can't get a piece of Carson gets it going to 115 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: the left wood for a block.

They're just a really good 133 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: team and they're loaded. They've had a tremendous season. They've 134 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: got so much firepower on offense. A great coach that 135 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: runs the whole thing.
