Powered by Seahawks dot Com, Matt pump 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: fakes looking at the goal line. He chose it to 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: the ends.

Now, here's 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: your host, NASA Chubby. Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk, 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: the preview edition. Seahawks taking on the Cardinals, riding high 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: on a three game win streak, coming off a huge 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: win over the New York Giants, who came into that 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: game six and one. Things are good over at the 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: Virginia Mason Athletic Center as a Seahawks prepare for another 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: battle in the NFC. Wes what's untapped? What's untapped? Those 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Cardinals bump obviously, we've just seen them a couple of 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: weeks ago. They are third and five in the last 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: place in the NFC West. They had losses to Kansas 21 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: City Rams, Philadelphia, the Seahawks, and most recently the Minnesota Vikings. 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: They're only wins on the season against the Raiders, Panthers, 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: and Saints, who have combined for a seven and sixteen record, 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: so they have not beat anyone good at this point. 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: But man bump this last week they were in the game. 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: Though they was in this game, playing the Vikings back 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: and forth, tight game throughout, the Vikings managed to hold 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: on for the thirty four twenty sixth victory, fifth straight 29 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: win for the Vikings, who were playing good football right now, 30 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: and man Colin Murray came off probably his best game 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: of the year statistically thirty one to forty four, three 32 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: hundred twenty six yards in a season, had three touchdowns. 33 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: He did, however, thir two interceptions, sacked four times. He 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: did lead the Cardinals in rushing as well with thirty 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: six yards on six carries. And then the other thing 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: that came back, d hop He's back. Were talking about 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: him a lot later, but He's back went off one 38 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: hundred fifty nine yards on twelve receptions and a crazy 39 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: one handed touchdown. But I mean it's really not that 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: crazy because it's dhob right, that's what he does. I mean, 41 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: so he's blowing out. Rondale Moore had seven or seven 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: for ninety two yards and a touchdown. Cardinals dreached within 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: two points early in the fourth quarter, down twenty twenty six, 44 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals would force a Vikings pup, but unfortunately Greg Dorch 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: fumbled the return. Vikings would cover boom four plays later, 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: they're in the end zone kJ osborne from Kirk Cousins 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: that made it thirty four twenty six. Cardinals did have 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: three opportunities to tie the game up, getting past the 49 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: midfield every time, but we're unable to score in the 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: loss to those Vikings. So this team was kind of, 51 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: I won't say at a crossroads right now, but they 52 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: are trending in the opposite direction. Seahawks are. They've lost 53 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: three or four and things aren't going as well as 54 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: they would hope. They're in the playoffs last year, and 55 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: they're kind of this is a big game. This is 56 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a big game for them, big game for the Seahawks. 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be an interesting, interesting matchup. As we 58 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: had in this weekend especially since these teams just played up. 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: When you look at the head to head comparison, what 60 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: stands out to you? Yeah, first, let me say I 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: can't sleep on nobody. No, No, they lost three or four. 62 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: But we know what this team possesses. And when you 63 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: look at these numbers, you look at them on paper 64 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: and you're like, this is an average type of team. 65 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Right their fourteenth to ranked overall offense seventeen. When it 66 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: comes to running the football, about one hundred and sixteen 67 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: yards per game, pass offensive ranked thirteen, they get about 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: two thirty per game, and when it comes to putting 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: up points, they put up twenty two points per game. 70 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: That is good enough for fifteenth. Now, when we look 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: at their defense, their defensive twenty second overall thirteenth to 72 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: get us to run twenty thirty against the pass, and 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: their thirtieth. When it comes to giving up points, they 74 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: give up the exact amount of points as the Hawks 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: like to score. So what I'm thinking is we should 76 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: be able to drop at least twenty six to thirty 77 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: on these guys. Now, offensively, we know that this is 78 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: a different team than what we saw last time. They 79 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: didn't have the hop with the running back situation looks 80 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: like they've been struggling in the backfield. Kyla Murray didn't 81 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: really go off. Yes, he had a hundred yards, but 82 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 1: it was a bit tricky. Since the Hawks have seen 83 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: these guys, they've improved offensively and defensively tremendously, and the 84 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: numbers don't even do a justice. Like the numbers don't 85 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: tell you what they've done the last three or four weeks. Offensively, 86 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: the Hawks are ring twelve overall against running the football. 87 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: They average a buck thirty. That's good for twelve. Pass offense, 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: they average two hundred and twenty one, that's good for eighteenth. 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: And I mentioned that they scored twenty six points per game. 90 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: The Cardinals give up twenty six points per game. Now, 91 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: the real lie in the numbers is when you look 92 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: at the defense. Like the last three weeks, this defense 93 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: is only given up fifteen points a game. But if 94 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: you look at this stat right here in the comparisons, overall, 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: they're given a twenty four points per game. They were 96 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: great against the run last week, though they are ringing 97 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: twenty eighth. They give up one hundred and forty per game. 98 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: And then their past defense has been better too. They 99 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: give up two thirty six per game. That's good for 100 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: twenty first on average. So on paper, this game like 101 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: it should be close, and it's still might be close 102 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: because this is the NFL and guys are gonna make plays. 103 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: But this doesn't tell you that the Hawks have gotten 104 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: better offensively and defensively. And for the Cardinals, it doesn't 105 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: tell you that they got a weapon named d Hopkins 106 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: back and they will throw the football down the field. 107 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. You can't look too deep into numbers 108 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: for everything, because you look at some of these numbers 109 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: and you would think, well, man, the Seahawks are five 110 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: and three. Those defensive numbers, You're thinking, how in the 111 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: world are they five and three? They must have the 112 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: number one offense in the NFL, and they don't. But 113 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, they play two of their most complete 114 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: games all seasons the last two weeks, so they're playing 115 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: really good football right now. And the Cardinals are dangerous too. 116 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna get into all the matchups. They have guys 117 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: that can play. They're just kind of struggling right now. 118 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: And when we asked ot a guy, Paul More, he 119 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: said he'd always rather play teams that are coming off 120 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: a loss because they're they're struggling still than the team 121 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: cone off a win. So we'll see what happens on Sunday. 122 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: These teams are somewhat evenly matching some statistical categories. But 123 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: we'll see what plays out on Sunday. But before we 124 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: do that, let's know our history. Your history. It's very 125 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: recent history, bump. As we just talked about, Seattle leads 126 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: all time series twenty four twenty two and one. Seahawks 127 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: have one three the last four meetings and six of 128 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: the last nine. The last meeting, Seaws beat the Cardinals 129 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: nineteen to nine just three weeks ago at Luhman Field. 130 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: And this was the beginning of the turnaround. This is 131 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: where we finally got to see something because reminder, this 132 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: team had given up a ton of points to the Lions, 133 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: a ton of points and yards to the Saints, and 134 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: this is kind of where things changed. You know, Kyler Murray, 135 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: he had a pretty good game in terms of rush yards. 136 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: He ran for one hundred yards, forty two of which 137 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: came on one run. Otherwise he was pretty bottled up, 138 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: only three for two twenty two, one interception, was sacked 139 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: a season high six times, and oh Benjamin was shut down, 140 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: only going for thirty seven yards on fifteen carries and 141 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: on offense for the Seahawks, ken Walker played really well 142 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: in his first NFL start, going for ninety seven yards 143 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: on the ground twenty one carries in a game ceiling touchdown. 144 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: But this game was a knock him out, drag him 145 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: on fight. Took a little bit for the Seahawks to 146 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: kind of figure it out down the stretch or hoping. 147 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: You know, both teams get paid a lot, both teams 148 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: have coaching staffs that grind and work really hard, so 149 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some adjustments. But if history will repeat itself, 150 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: that should bode well for the Seahawks. But man, I'm 151 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: starting to like this segment coming up because it has 152 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: one team on the top of the mountain in first 153 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: place what's the word? And the Seahawks or the NFC 154 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: West champs again, what's the word? In the West? On 155 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: hot Talk, there's the only one team in this division 156 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: with a winning record, that is your clay are five 157 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: and three at top of this team. Right below them, 158 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the Niners are formed four, and then the Rams are 159 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: twenty and four and the Cardinals are three and five. 160 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: Man Like I said, the Hawks are all by themselves 161 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: at top of this division. The beautiful site. But let's 162 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: talk about what happened in this division. We had a 163 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: good game, well a divisional game. I want to call 164 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: it big game, depending on who you root more. You 165 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: have the forty nine first, the Rams, and it seems 166 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: like the Rams just cannot figure out the forty nine Ers. 167 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: Man Rams have won eight consecutive matchups. Now they beat 168 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: these guys thirty one to fourteen on Sunday. They took 169 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: a seven old lead and then just put the pedal 170 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: to the metal and outscore these guys. The Rams tick 171 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: a seven oh lead and then the Ninerses bounced back 172 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: and did what they do. Christian mccafrey was added to 173 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: this roster for the forty nine Ers. Week one, take 174 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: it easy, got some carries, a couple of catches. Week two, 175 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: they said, unleash the beast, and that's exactly what they did. 176 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: This man had a rushing touchdown, he had a receiving 177 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: touchdown and a passing touchdown. He is the first player 178 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: since Ladanian Thomason in two thousand and five to do that. 179 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: It's been a while, you guys listening you're probably some 180 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: of y'all was youngster. Some of y'all was a big younger. 181 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: The last time dani and Thomason had a game like that, Man, 182 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: he finished with ninety four yards rushing, fifty five yards receiving, 183 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: and he threw for thirty four. Brandon and Ayuk he's 184 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: another receiver who's been steadily improving throughout the year. He 185 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: had himself a day eighty one yards on six recessions 186 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: and one touchdown, and the Rams continue to struggle. Man, 187 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: he didn't have the big turnovers, but he didn't lie 188 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: out the box score. He went twenty four or thirty three, 189 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty seven yards, one touchdown and half 190 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown. The Rams only rush for fifty six yards. 191 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup continues to be steady, has seventy nine yards, 192 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: eight receptions and one touchdown. This Rams team is trying 193 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: to figure themselves out. This Niner team has figured themselves 194 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: and added a weapon to it. So I think right now, 195 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: when you look at this division, you gotta look at 196 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: the Niners and the Hawks as the two teams to be. 197 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: But you can never sleep on the Rams. They're well coached, 198 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: they got some talent over there. We'll see if they 199 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: can climb out of this hole. The thing that jumps 200 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: out about the Rams is they're not scoring points. This 201 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: is the most explosive offense in the league when you 202 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: think about, you know, the team that was just in 203 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, team just won the Super Bowl, and 204 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: you have Stafford and Cooper Cup and all these weapons, 205 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: but things are not going well. I believe they're thirtieth 206 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: in offense right now, which he's insane to see a 207 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: Sean mcvagh team not be able to score. And that's 208 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: what's going on right now. Yes, they beat the forty 209 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: nine ers last year and the NFC Championship games, so 210 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: that's still gonna hold weight for Ram fans out there, 211 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: of course, but eight in a row that's shocking. For 212 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: whatever reason, Kyle Shannahan has figured something out in the 213 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: regular season and it is not looking good for the Rams. 214 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: I say that with a caveat you mentioned it. The 215 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: Rams do well against the Seahawks though, So it's gonna 216 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: be two games towards the end of the season against 217 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: the Rams, hopefully one in Week seventeen. That's gonna be 218 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: hopefully big for the Seahawks to side in something. But 219 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: we won't get ahead of ourselves there. It's just something 220 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: like you mentioned to watch out for because the Rams 221 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals are going in a different direction than 222 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and the forty nine ers of late. But 223 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: let's get a little deeper into those Cardinals. MANA is 224 00:10:48,440 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: this man up on Hawk Talk Kyler Murray enemy number one. 225 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: He's a quarterback for these Cardinals and he's, like I 226 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, coming off one of the best games of 227 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: the season, going thirty one to forty four, three twenty 228 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: six and three touchdowns. He also completed seventy percent of 229 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: his passes for this second time this season. The only 230 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: downside was he was intercepted twice and sacked four times. 231 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: He's a guy that continues to make plays where you're like, wow, 232 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the only couple men on this planet can make that 233 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: type of play, because that's the kind of athlete he is. 234 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: And you watch him and sometimes just an awe, and 235 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: then other times you scratch your head and he go, 236 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: what happened there? He's just so he's so talented and 237 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: he can do so many things, but the occasionally he'll 238 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: still make that big mistake that happened on Sunday, crucial 239 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: interception late led to a touchdown for the Vikings, which 240 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: ended up being a difference in the game. If you 241 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: look at Murray on the season, two hundred and fifteen 242 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: and three twenty five one, nine hundred ninety three yards, 243 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns, six interceptions, been sacked nineteen times. Murray's the 244 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals leading rusher because they've had a lot of issues 245 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: that running back. Fifty one carries, two hundred ninety nine yards, 246 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. First matchup again the Seahawks, we talked about 247 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: it pedestrian effort in terms of statistically two hundred and 248 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: twenty two yards, zero touchdowns, one interception. Did have those 249 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: one hundred yards on the ground, we know, you know 250 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: forty percent of him came on one carry. But he's explosive. 251 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: He's a good football player, and he's someone you need 252 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: account for at all times. And he's really difficult because 253 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: I remember before the first matchup, they didn't have any 254 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: explosive place. They did not have a play over forty 255 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: or thirty yards all season long. First drive against the Hawks, 256 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: he's a forty two yard run and three other explosive plays. 257 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: But after they drive the Seahawks contained him and kind 258 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: of shut them down the rest of the way. They 259 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: only scored touchdown on a botched you know, punt block thing. 260 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: They didn't actually move the ball and score. So it'll 261 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: be interesting to see College is a good football player 262 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: prone to make occasionally make those mistakes down the stretch. 263 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: But we'll see the Cardinals right now fourteenth in total offense, 264 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: thirteenth in passing. And you mentioned it earlier how well 265 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks were playing defensively. Seahawks are now twenty seventh 266 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: in total defense, but in the last three weeks they're 267 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: only allowing two hundred and eighty nine yards per game 268 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks forre eighteenth right now against passed two 269 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: twenty one. So the Seahawks are playing high. They're playing 270 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: with some confidence. So it'll be interesting to see how 271 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: they contain Murray because that's probably gonna be one of 272 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: the biggest keys to this football game. Container Murray. He 273 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: makes his thing go. You win and lose with your quarterback. 274 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: So let's put some pressure on this guy. Let's talk 275 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: about hour quarterback b MVP candidate quarterback over here, Gino's Smith. 276 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: He got guys on NFL Alive talking about this guy 277 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: being in that conversation, so you gotta give him some respect. Gino. 278 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: It's completed seventy two percent of his passes. That's good 279 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: for the best in the NFL. He's eighth in the 280 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: NFL when it comes to yards one thousand, nine hundred 281 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: and twenty four. He's fifth when it comes to passing touchdowns, 282 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: he has thirteen. He's tied for twenty seventh when it 283 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: comes to interceptions, only given up three. High numbers better 284 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to interceptions, and he's fourth in QBR 285 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: at six six point six percent. Gino needs one touchdown 286 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: pass to set a career high for fourteen passing touchdowns 287 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: in a single season. Needless to say, he has turned 288 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: his career around and it is fun to watch him. Man. 289 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: Last week against the New York Giants, he was twenty 290 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: three to thirty four for two to twelve and two 291 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: touchdowns should have for two crucial drops, one from Lockett 292 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: that he bounces back, one from Good when I'm sure 293 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 1: he's going to bounce back. It's got a q be 294 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: ready to one on four and he had six games 295 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: with multiple touchdown passes. He's had seven in his whole career. 296 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: Nine seasons. Granted he sat for a while, but that 297 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: just lets you know how well he is playing. Last 298 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: time they played the Cardinals, he had himself a decent 299 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: game and wasn't anything crazy. They flied on the special 300 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: teams in defense to kind of kickstart the scene getting going. 301 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: He was twenty to thirty one, one ninety seven, no 302 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns and no interceptions so far this year. Like I mentioned, 303 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: this guy is on a run. He has thirty five 304 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: cards for one hundred and fifty eight yards and one touchdown. 305 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: I saw this stat Natz, which was crazy to me. 306 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: He's also only off target nine percent of the time, 307 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: nine percent of the time. He has a high third 308 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: highest que Be reading when it comes to throws over 309 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: forty yards. So everyone who thought that he was just 310 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna dink and dunk and move and run the offense, 311 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: yes he's duel that, but he's pushing it down the 312 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: field as well. Man. The Cardinals are the twenty second 313 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: ranked defense. They give up three to sixty two yards 314 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: per game. There's money out there, there's yards to be had, 315 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: and there are twenty third against the past given up 316 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: two fifty two. It's time for Gino to have a 317 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: better showing this matchup, and he's a better quarterback this matchup, 318 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: even though that only happened a few weeks back. But 319 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: that's the great thing about this team and Ginos that 320 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: every week they're improving, no question about it. The one 321 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: big thing to improve on offensively for the Seahawks is 322 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: and the first matchup, Gino was sacked five times, and 323 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: on the season, the Cardinals only have fourteen sacks, which 324 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: is twenty six in the NFL. You'll move the Seahawks game, 325 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: they would be tied for dead last, so they're not 326 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterback. They do have some exotic looks 327 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: where they'll line up, you know, sometimes eight or nine 328 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: guys on the line of scrimmage, drop three or four 329 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: back in the coverage. They'll have different blitz is, different 330 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: schemes to try to ski him up the young rookie 331 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: tackles and things like that, to trying to make sure 332 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: everyone's protections on point. So that'll definitely be something to 333 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: watch for. But I know between Shane Waldron and Gino Smith, 334 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna have something for him this week. But something 335 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: to keep your eye out on. But Gino Gino MVP. 336 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: We've been saying, I mean the crowd change gene, no gene. 337 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: It's got to be so for that man. Love to 338 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: see it, Love to see it for Gino. The other 339 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: matchup on and take a look at is I'm just 340 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: gonna say the Cardinals running game for the Seahawks front seven. 341 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: The Seahawks have done really well the last couple of weeks, 342 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: shutting down Austin Ekeler to nine carries for thirty one 343 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. And then see Quon Barkley the 344 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: most impressive you know thing I think they've done all 345 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: seasons holding him the fifty three yards on twenty carries, 346 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: so he was getting the football consistently. To hold him 347 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: a guy like that to two point seven yards carry, 348 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: that's nuts. So the last couple of weeks, James Connor 349 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: has been hurt. He's been out with a rib injury. 350 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: He looks like he's still gonna be out. We'll kind 351 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: of wait and see. Eno Benjamin has stepped in as 352 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: a starting running back the last couple of weeks with 353 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: him out, thirty carries, one hundred and fifty one yards 354 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: and one touchdown in those three games that Connor has 355 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: been out. And this Cardinal's rushing attack is kind of 356 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack, seventeenth overall in the 357 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: NFL one hundred and seventeen yards per game, large part 358 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: because Kylin Murray's also helping with the legs. So if 359 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: you take away Kyler Murray, this rushing attack is a 360 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: lot lower than it is. Benjamin on the season sixty 361 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: six carries, two hundred and seven yards and two touchdowns. 362 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: So right now, I mean, you just gotta keep doing 363 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: what you didn't. You figured out what happened last week. 364 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: If you can take away their running game and make 365 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: and make Kyler you know he's their best player, but 366 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: you want to eliminate something to make them one dimensional, 367 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: that's always gonna be a big thing. And I think 368 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: it starts with the running game and the way the 369 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks are playing up front. Right now, I'm very confident 370 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, I feel good about it. Get Kyler 371 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: Murray running up the gut, not towards the sidelines. He's 372 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: dangerous on the sidelines. You haven't run up the middle. 373 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: You can corral this guy. Next matchup, we're looking at 374 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the receivers verse Torik Wollen and Mike Jackson. I got 375 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: to hop Over, there got Rundel, Mora got tight end 376 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: zach Ertz. Now the biggest difference between match up and 377 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: this when we mentioned it. DeAndre Hopkins is back in 378 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: two games. He's been targeted twenty seven times and gone 379 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: over one hundred in both these games. Against ten for 380 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: one h three Against the Vikings, he had twelve for 381 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: one fifty nine and a touchdown. He accounted for four 382 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: out of six explosive plays through the air against the Vikings. 383 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: You know that he is going to be targeting a 384 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: lot man. Since his return in the league, he's had 385 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: twenty two receptions, twenty six three yards and thirteen first downs. 386 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: He's leading the league. This will be the biggest tess 387 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: for Terik and Mike Jackson. These guys have been playing well. 388 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: I think they've They've stepped into the test every single week, 389 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: but it's a little different tests. Man. This is arguably 390 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league. I was talking to 391 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: somebody today, I go, he can do what Decay can do. 392 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 1: He can do what Cooper Cup can do. He can 393 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: do what Justin Jefferson can do. He can do what 394 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: DeVante can do. Like you just mash all those guys together. 395 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: And you get d hops. You have to respect him 396 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: with that question. Yeah, like he his tra record is ridiculous. 397 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: So we don't fear nobody, but you gotta respect this 398 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: is the NFL. They also got Mark Marquis Brown, Hollywood Brown, 399 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: as a lot of people call him. He's got forty 400 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: three receptions for forty five and three touchdowns. Now, Zach 401 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: Ernst is a I would say he's one of the 402 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: elite tight ends in this league. Narrow down, it's about 403 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: three or four guys. He's only gonna be mentioned in 404 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: one of the elite tight ends. He has forty one 405 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: receptions for three fifty four and three touchdowns. He's the 406 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: team's second leading receiver. And Rondel Moore is an interesting one. 407 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: His numbers aren't gonna volume, but he has big playability 408 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: in him. He just hasn't really been unleased. YAF and 409 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: let's not make it this week that we see this 410 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: guy go nuts. He's got twenty four for two fifty 411 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: one and one touchdown. Tell me about these corners though 412 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: they already ran down these receivers and what they bring 413 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: to the table. W you're the defensive guy. What you 414 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: see in in t Woo in the in the gang. Well, 415 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: he's been shining. That's all he's done. That's all to 416 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: Arrigo and has done since he's been in this league. 417 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: And the last couple weeks are exception. He didn't have 418 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: any picks, and that's a large part because people aren't 419 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: throwing in the football. Woland was targeted four times against 420 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: the Giants and allowed two receptions for forty eight yards. 421 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: Almost had Honestly, he couldn't have played the ball better 422 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: than he did in that game. I couldn't believe down 423 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: with a pick, ran the route for the guy. Just 424 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: a great play made by I think it was Slayton 425 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: for the Giants. And then when he was matched up 426 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: against Mike Williams a week before, he's only targeted four 427 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: times and gave up three catches for thirty seven yards. 428 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: So the few opportunities that he's having is still having success. 429 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: As you mentioned, it's gonna be his biggest test of 430 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: the season, without question. And then Mike Jackson coming off 431 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: his best game of the year in my opinion against 432 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: New York seven tackles, three passes defended and was just 433 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: playing physical, was just hitting people all over the field. 434 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: So these two are gonna have to bring it, like 435 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: you said, because DeAndre Hopkins is that dude. You can 436 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: talk about his resume for hours. He's very much established. 437 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: You mentioned Hollywood Brown. He's gonna be out on Sunday, 438 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: so you so More is the guy that I'm really 439 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: kind of also concerned about because you said it. Every 440 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: time I feel like he plays the Seahawks. He doesn't 441 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: get a ton of stats, but he's always open, he's 442 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: always making plays. He makes his money in the middle 443 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: of the field. I think he's a guy that is 444 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: going to really have to step up in Hollywood Brown's absence. 445 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I'm gonna get my popcorn ready for 446 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: this matchup because sometimes you know, when you're watching the 447 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: game throughout the game, he was just hone in on 448 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: a couple. He's just watching a couple of guys. Those 449 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: are that's the matchup I'm definitely gonna hone in on 450 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: because Tarik Willin. If you weren't getting all the respect 451 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: you've been getting already, you lock up Hopkins or Container. 452 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what else you can put 453 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: on your resume, because that's that's that. Yeah, I got 454 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: no words for it, because it's gonna be fun matchups. 455 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see that. The other receivers 456 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: on the Seahawks side, DK Tyler taking on buyer Murphrey 457 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: Marco Wilson. I'll throw Bouddha bake in there. From the 458 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: secondary standpoint you mentioned it earlier, were talked about on 459 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: the last podcast. Tyler Lockett had an interesting game, made 460 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 1: some uncharacteristic plays, but came back for the game. You know, 461 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown, five receptions sixty three yards. Metcalf also 462 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: made some big time contributions five receptions fifty five yards 463 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: in a touchdown. And if you guys remember, these guys 464 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: were game time decisions, didn't practice all week, got through it, 465 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: made it to game time, and still did some good 466 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: things there. But I would expect Tyler and those guys 467 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: to go off this week. Tyler, notoriously, he's a good 468 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: games against the Cardinals. We remember that one game on 469 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, we had two hundred and twenty yards. 470 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: He's got multiple games over one hundred yards and coming 471 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: off the game where he didn't play his best danger 472 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: watch out because the motivated Tyler Hockey's trying to get 473 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: after you. That's a problem. And the last time they 474 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: played these guys, they only combined for four receptions and 475 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: fifty one yards. So it's gonna be it'll be a 476 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: test that Cardinals do have some good defensive bats. Bodha, Baker, Buyer, Murphy, 477 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Mark Wilson are all good players. But I am predicting 478 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: at least between them, Bump, I'm predicting over a Buck 479 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: seventy five, at least Bucks setting five. And with that, 480 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Buck setting five and three Teddies. Come on, now, 481 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: come on now, Yeah, you gotta respect Boodhin, Buyer, Murphy, Marco. 482 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: These all professionals. They've shown that they can make plays. 483 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: But we got professionals on our side in DK and Tyler. 484 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: Let's get her going, all right. Next matchup is Ken 485 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: Walker versus the Cardinals front seven. Ken didn't do a 486 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: lot the last game, right, fifty one yards on eighteen carries, 487 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: but he had the game seiling touchdown. And again this 488 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: is where stats can fool you. I say he didn't 489 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: do a lot, but you know that the Giants accounted 490 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: for him, Like there are a couple runs where he 491 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: was one block away, one miss tackle away for breaking 492 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: one of those signature thirty forty yard runs. So far 493 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: this year, he's got four hundred and sixty one yards 494 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: and five touchdowns, and the Hawks have the twelfth best 495 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: rushing attack, getting about a buck thirty per game. This 496 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: week will not be easy. The Cardinals have a talented 497 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 1: front seven, but I feel really good about it. Man. 498 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: They have the fifth as rush defense in the NFL 499 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: as well. Now. In the last three weeks, they gave 500 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: a one seventy three to Minnesota, eighty five to New Orleans, 501 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: and one thirty six to the Seahawks. I need them 502 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: to repeat the performance that we saw in New Orleans Saints. Right, 503 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: but we're gonna we're gonna take advantage of the scene. 504 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in the driver's seat and hand they 505 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: had ball to Kim Walker. You know what, I'm gonna 506 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: throw d DJ Dallas in this too, because he's good 507 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: for one or two runs a game. That's gonna break 508 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: for about ten to twelve yards, right Ken Walker's gonna 509 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: tap the hamlet. He's gonna need a break. They'll be 510 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: good to go. So U with all that being said, 511 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: what they did against Minnesota and New Orleans and the Seahawks, 512 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: they dropped them to the seventeenth rush defense in the league. 513 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: So if they played good at times, they've given up 514 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: a bunch of yards. Again, they've been going up and 515 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: down with the numbers. But I think it's more what 516 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: the Seahawks can do than what the Cardinals are gonna 517 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: do to the Hawks. I think with that offensive line, 518 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: with ken Walker beating in the zone and with a 519 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: sprinkle of DJ Dallas, I'm feeling good about the run game. 520 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: I love what you mentioned there, because you're right, he 521 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: did only have fifty three yards or fifty one yards. 522 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: They're looking at box score. That's not gonna electrify anybody, 523 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: but you're right. There's a couple of shoe string tackles, 524 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: a couple of ones that was like, oh my god. 525 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: He was almost out the gate for that. So against 526 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: the Giants last week. So now going against the Cardinals 527 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: we had success against last time they played a couple 528 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. I'd expect him to do a lot 529 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: of the same because ken Walker is special and I'm 530 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: hoping he's one of those games with Seawks get up 531 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: early and ken Walker can do his thing in second half, 532 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: get up to twenty carries, can grind these guys down, 533 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: possessed the ball, control the clock, and that'll help them 534 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: get a dub and stay in the first place. But 535 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: all we're talking about a victory, Let's find out how 536 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: we get there path to victory. At the forty five 537 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: waits for the staff, Michael Dickson puts it down. That 538 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: kick is away and that kick gone. It's gun. It's 539 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: a pass to victory. On Hawk Talk, keep riding that momentum, 540 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: Ray Roberts, if you're listening, I know you hate that word, 541 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: but it's true to the seas got that momentum right now, 542 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: and to keep riding that thing. They played two consecutive 543 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: incredibly complete games all three phases the game, offense, defense, 544 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: special teams. This week can't be any different. I think 545 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: they'll need that and if they continue that, this could 546 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: be a good win for the Seahawks. Right bad wave 547 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: and contain Coy. Murray had one big run of forty 548 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: two yards the last time they hooked up. No big ones, 549 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: get five, you get ten every now and then. But 550 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: making him work for it. I want to see him sliding. 551 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: I want to see him trying to get down because 552 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: they got eleven helmets going to that dude, and then, 553 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: of course you gotta contain DeAndre Hopkins. He's been targeted 554 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: with over twenty five times of legals twenty seven times 555 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: in the last two games, over one hundred both games. 556 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: You gotta make sure that guy doesn't go crazy, no 557 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: question about it. He's scary when he does. And then offensively, man, 558 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: come on, Geno's doing it, MVP. We've been saying it, 559 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: We've been talking him up all season long. Continue to 560 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: do him and Shane Waldron have been there bad the 561 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. It's straight up. They're doing everything 562 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: to keep this offense on time. There's no delay of 563 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: game penalties, there's there's a lot of fall starts. They're efficient. 564 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: Everything that's going on with is efficient. If they continue 565 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: to do that, continue to plant a high level, that 566 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: will help them continue to score points. We know that 567 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals give up a lot of points. Seahawks score a 568 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: lot of points, so that should be good. And the 569 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: other thing I want to see bump project Gino. I 570 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: think the Cardinals ran some different things that Charles Cross 571 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: and a Luke and some of these guys had not 572 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: seen before. And I expect the Seahawks to be much 573 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: more prepared for that in this game. And as long 574 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: as you keep Gino Smith upright and control that line 575 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, I think things will be good for the Seahawks. Yeah, 576 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: you got to protect that man, the Arizona Cardinals. But 577 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: its thirty seven percent of the time, that's the second 578 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. So you know you're gonna get 579 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: some looks. You know you're gonna be tested office online. 580 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: You know you have to communicate. If you can do 581 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: all the things we just mentioned, then I think these 582 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: guys walk out of here six and three getting ready 583 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: to go to Germany on the W and then I'm 584 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: all four depp, oh, I can't wait. They're six and 585 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: three going in with an opportunity to be seven three 586 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: heading into the buy. Don't want to get ahead of myself, 587 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: but no one saw that coming and that completely changes 588 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: the outlook for the Seahawks on the second half of 589 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: the season. And Pump, we're about to be in Germany. Dog, 590 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: come on now, about to be alright? You know what 591 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying.
