Powered by Seahawks dot Com. Welcome 10 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: back to Hawk Talk to Live Preview edition. Season twenty 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: twenty one is here. Week one. Me and nass back together. 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: We gotta talk about these cults. Man, I'm excited. It 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: feels like it's been longer than whatever the off season is. 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: It just feels longer than that Nasa Choby. The off 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: season feels like, man, it feels like it's two years man. 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: I mean it feels like, honestly feels like three years 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: ago that we were talking about that last RAM game 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: and then the draft, and then you got rookie camp, 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: Mini camp, and you got mandatory mini camp. Then training 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: camp was here and it's weird. Training camp feels like 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: the dog days of summer, like it goes on forever. 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: Everything's the same at the same time. It went by 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: like that. And we're back out of baby week one. 24 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: Football that counts in the standings. Let's go. Let's go 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: football that accounts, and the Hawks are going on the road. 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: They're going to Indianapolis to take on these Colts. Colts 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of questions to be answered, but apparently 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: we do too. You know, we've been looking through the media. 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: The Colts have their views on what we look like. 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: We have our views what they look like. Let's jump 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: into the roster. First of all, we got to talk 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: about because we know it's the most secure spot on 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: the roster is a quarterback position. Mister Russell Wilson leaves 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: the charge there, Geno Smith will back him up. And 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: then we got a local kid, local kid who's on 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: the roster right now, Jake Lutton. Am I saying his 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: name right, Jake Utton? That's Luton Luton. Okay, See, I 38 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: gotta get it out now so when we go on 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: there on Sundays, I don't jack this thing up. Russell 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Wilson had himself a year last year. We know it 41 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: didn't end the way that we'd like it to, but 42 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: he had sixty eight percent completion rape, forty two hundred yards, 43 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: forty touchdowns, twelve interceptions. I think the only knock you 44 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: can say is that he started off hot and kind 45 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: of fizzled out. But that's just the NFL. You have 46 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: to figure some things out. There were some changes at 47 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator position, so hopefully that will help him out. Man, 48 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: we're deep at running back though, nas yes, we are 49 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: deep at running back. My goodness. Six running backs on 50 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: the roster currently. We got Chris Carson, Rashad Penny, Travis Homer, 51 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: DJ Dallas, Alex Collins, and Nick Bolore and really no 52 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: surprises in this position group. You know, some teams would 53 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: look at this and be like, you guys are really 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: keeping six running backs, And yeah, that's not completely accurate 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: in the sense of six because Nick Belore right now, 56 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: we'll get to a little bit later, is really kind 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: of filling in as a linebacker right now because of 58 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: the depth at that position. But you look at all 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: these guys in the rosters, I mean, you had to 60 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: keep all of him. Chris Carson, is one of the 61 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: best running backs in the NFL. When healthy, he's a 62 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: perennial one thousand yard rusher. Rashad Penny is a guy 63 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that has unbelievable chel We're just waiting to see it. 64 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: If he can get through a season completely healthy, we 65 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: know what he can do there. Travis Homer is another 66 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: guy that came in as a rookie. Second year guy, 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: kind of got his feet wet a little bit last year. 68 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: We know it's really good in pass pro and pass protecting. 69 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of his strength. And then Dj Dallas Man, 70 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: he flashed in the preseason. He was one of the 71 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: bright spots even though our starters weren't playing. Alex Collins 72 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: is another guy who stepped in last year when Carson 73 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: and Penny were banged up. So it's a really deep room. 74 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: And the thing about running backs is you can never 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: have enough because it's such a physical position. Guys get 76 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: hurt a lot. So the Seahawks are really deep there. 77 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: You do need a stable there. And I want to 78 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: say man Dj Dallas won the preseason for me in 79 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: my opinion, he had the best preseason on this roster 80 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: at a couple carries, two big returns, got his hands 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: on a punt. I mean, he did everything he could 82 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: to not only make this team, but say like, look 83 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm here, let me get the rock Lets go. So 84 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: now we're gonna move on to receivers, my favorite position. 85 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: We all know that Dk metcalf is coming back for 86 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: his third year bona fide superstar, Gatorade commercials, going to 87 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: All Star games, kicking it with the who's who. Like 88 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: DK's on another level right now, and then I expect 89 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: him to take his game to another level. I know 90 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: that's hard to say because he did set a franchise 91 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: record as far as yards for a season, but there's 92 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: still some things he can get better. App I'm looking 93 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: forward to that. Tyler Lockett, the most humble superstar of 94 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: all time on his football team. He comes back after 95 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: a thousand yards season. We got Freddie Swain who was 96 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: in the battle for that third position spot. D Escrit 97 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: is here as well. Now that Freddie Swayin and d 98 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: Escers battle was interesting to me because Freddie had an 99 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: opportunity and he took it. We saw him running with 100 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: the ones, we saw him returning punts, we saw him 101 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: returning kickoffs as well. Freddie Swain is on this roster 102 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: because he's reliable, he can get the job done. And 103 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: then Penny Hard, I'm glad this dude got picked up. 104 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: I know they tried to move into the practice squad early. 105 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: He was banged up during camp, had some days where 106 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: he couldn't go. But that last preseason game, he had 107 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: a couple of catches that reminded you why he is here. 108 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: So you have you look at this this receiving corps. Man, 109 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: you got the big old Megatron type dude, and you 110 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: got like three smaller fast dudes, and then Freddie Swain's 111 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: kind of the in between. You got a little bit 112 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: of everything when it comes to this receiving corps. That's 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: what I liked. Unfortunately, my guy John Ursua towards a clum. 114 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: We don't know if he was gonna make the team 115 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: or not, but when he did tears ACL, he was 116 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: having a good game. He was making a case to 117 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: at least be on practice squad. So that's gonna hurt. 118 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 1: But I look at this receiving corps and I'm okay 119 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: with you. Oh, without question, I think you got depth 120 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: at every position or at every position X Y inside outside, 121 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: and the other thing about it too. You mentioned ds 122 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: rich Child to Bump for those you remember, Bump called 123 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: that the seafs raft Dskridge And we didn't get to 124 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: see a ton of him training camp, but when we did, 125 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: you saw that speed. You saw that fly sweep action 126 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: that we see with the Rams. You saw him get 127 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: vertical and get in the slot and go up and 128 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: make a big cat show. I'm really excited to see 129 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: what we have there and if there's anything, God forbid, 130 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: any kind of injuries you had guys like Aaron Fuller 131 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: and Cody Thompson, you know, get to the practice scuds 132 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: because there's depth everywhere at the receiver position. So definitely 133 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: be in for another record setting year. I think in 134 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Another position group that has some new 135 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: faces tight end. So Gerald Everett, Will Distiley and Tyler 136 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: Maybury are on the fifty three roster to start this week. 137 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: You know Everett and Distilly, there was no surprise there. 138 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: You bringing Gerald of it from the Rams was in 139 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Shane Waldron's offense last year. For the last couple of 140 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: years have been really successful in the league. We know 141 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: it Will Disiley can do when you're throwing the ball. 142 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: He comes down with it, incredibly physical and a good 143 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: run blocker. Tyler Maybury is the guy that was on 144 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: our practice squad all last year and was brought up 145 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: to fifty three because you guys are probably thinking about 146 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: aren't you forgetting somebody And that's Kobe Parkinson, who we 147 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: drafted last year, who man was tearing it up to 148 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: start training. This man. Every time I looked up, he 149 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: was catching ball, coming down with it, making plays in 150 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: the red zone, going up getting touchdowns. So it was 151 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: really disappointing to see him come down with a foot injury, 152 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: the same foot injury that he had last season. We 153 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: had a screw put in his foot. The good thing 154 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: was is that it wasn't something that's going to keep 155 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: him out a really long time. The Cityoks kind of 156 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: did with a lot of teams do when it comes 157 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: to roster construction, where you make a guy, put a 158 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: guy in the initial fifty three, because if you put 159 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: them on IR coming out of camp, that means he's 160 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: got to be on IR the whole year. If he 161 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: initially makes the fifty three, then when you put him 162 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: on IR after that point, you when we had to 163 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: sit out three weeks so Kobe Parkinson. I'm telling you 164 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna make a ton of place for this position 165 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: group when he's given the chance. Tyler Mabey's gonna step 166 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: up for now, but Bump, I'm really excited about these 167 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: tight ends and how Shane Rawdon's gonna use them. Yeah, 168 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm extremely excited, especially Gerald Ever he comes over from 169 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: the Rams. Him and Shane have a relationship. Shane was 170 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: actually a tight ends coach to start, so he knows 171 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: how to use these guys. You look at the way 172 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: he's used the tight ends in the RAM system. They 173 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: just flourish and Gerald every can do everything inside outside, 174 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: blocking whatever you need. Uncle Will is there to hold 175 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: it down. And again Colby. When Colby is back, you 176 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: guys are gonna see what NASA's just talking about. This 177 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: dude especial. He can get the rock all right, let's 178 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: moved the offensive line. I just want to say thank 179 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: you to the football guys and everyone that made this possible. 180 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown is suited up, he's been practicing, He's ready 181 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: to go. No worries that left side is going to 182 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: be secure, but one of the best left tackles in 183 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the game. Thank you, Dwayne Brown. And the Seahawks for 184 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: getting that done. Now. Other than Dwayne Brown, you have 185 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Shell, Jamarco Jones's Stone Forsyth, Gabe Jackson, Damian Lewis, 186 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: eaton post at, Kyle Fuller, and Jake Krank. This is like, 187 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: this is my kind of preseason right now. I got 188 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: lean on Nass to get these pronounced pronounciations right and 189 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But yeah, they're carrying nine lineman on 190 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: the active roster this year, and we know that you 191 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: have to be deep on old line. You just have 192 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: to be deep, especially when you have an older guy 193 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and Dwayne Brown and left tackle. He's gonna have some 194 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: veteran days and take a week or two. All we 195 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: know that this preservation, he'll be good to go. You 196 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: got some young guys. You got Damian Lewis coming back 197 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: for a second year. I was really encouraged with what 198 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: he showed us last year. He played guard, he played 199 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: center for the first time in his career in the NFL. 200 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you guys understand how difficult that is. 201 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: The center is the guy who's supposed to get everybody 202 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: lined up. Call out the box, identified the mic, communicated 203 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: with the quarterback, he did this for the first time 204 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: as a rookie. Kyle Fuller is a guy that a 205 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of our colleagues really like. They thought he was 206 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: gonna push and compete for that center spot. He's making 207 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: noise as well. Forsythe was the draft pig looked like 208 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: a rookie in preseason, but you can see the potential there. 209 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: The guy is long, he's tall, has big reach. Now 210 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: he just has to perfect the craft. And no better 211 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: person to learn from then Dwayne Brown, no question about it. 212 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: And I think I think they're like you mentioned when 213 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: you started this was thank god we have Dwayne Brown back. 214 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: He's one of the best left tackles in the National 215 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: Football League bar nun And let me tell you something. 216 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: No one takes better care of their bodies than Dwayne Brown. 217 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown is a weight room warrior, number one and 218 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: just as the most when it comes to preserving his body. 219 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: And the other thing too about it we bring in 220 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson. There was a lot of talk about the 221 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: offensive line and what it was gonna look like in 222 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. All this strife about whether the quarterback 223 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: was happy, this and that a lot more was made 224 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: up of that than what it really was. But here's 225 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: the thing. You moved Damian Lewis over the left guard, 226 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson on the right side. I think you have 227 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: a good foundation in the middle. Kyle Fuller, he was healthy. 228 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: He was supposed to be a big battle between Kyle 229 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: Fuller and Ethan posted Kyle Fuller was healthy, Ethan was 230 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: not in training camp, so Kyle Fuller kind of stepped 231 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: into that starting role. What we saw him play against 232 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: the Rams last year, we know he's physical. So I'm 233 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: really excited about this unit and just the depth too, 234 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: because you know we have other guys. Jamarco Jones is 235 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: filled in and played well. You know, you have depth 236 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: of the center position, and on the practice squad Phil 237 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: Haynes and Jordan Simmons, who were initially on the team 238 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: last year. You sneak them back onto the practice squad, 239 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: so if anything happens, those are guys that you can 240 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: bring up whenever. So I'm really excited about where this 241 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: group can go, and I think it can be one 242 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: of the strength and build on what they did in 243 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And then moving on defensive line though bump 244 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: d line. You know, it's funny when we talk about 245 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: the defensive line. You know, for the last couple of years, 246 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: every year everyone's been like big question mark, big question markup. 247 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: They didn't get enough sacks. Is this unit good enough? 248 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: They're hurting them team, blah blah blah. We had a 249 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: rough defensive start last year. That's not the case this year. Boy, 250 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: this defensive line is stacked. I'll just read off. We 251 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: got ten this year starting off from fifty three. Carlos 252 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: Dunlap the second, Carrie Hyder Junior, Darryl Taylor, L J. Collier, 253 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: Rashime Green, Benson, Mayo, Alton Robinson, Poona Ford, Alwoods, and 254 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: Brian Money. And the great thing about that is every 255 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: single name I've said, with the exception of Darryl Taylor, 256 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: has played significant time in the National Football League, at 257 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: least in terms of starts. Alton Robinson was rookie last year. 258 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: He had four sacks contributed. Unafford's been doing it for 259 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: a couple of years. Al Woods is an og holding 260 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: it down in the middle. Brian Money has gotten his 261 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: feet way, Carlos Dunlap is a proven veteran, and this unit, 262 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: man Sky's the limit. I don't want to put the 263 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: expectation that some people have put on comparing them to 264 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: that two thousand and third defensive line with all that 265 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: NASCAR pack of stuff they ran. With that being said, though, 266 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: this is the deepest the defensive line has ever been 267 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: since that time, and I think they can do a 268 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: lot of good things this year. Yeah, I like this room. 269 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Cholby Rashim Green, another guy who stole the show in 270 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: preseason for me, had two really good game. Started the 271 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: preseason off with two sacks and then had one in 272 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: the second game. This was a guy who needed to 273 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: show that he is progressing and his position. Coach. Coach 274 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Hurd said, look, the light came on for this young man. 275 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: We can't forget he was twenty years old when he 276 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: was drafted. He was just a baby. Couldn't even go 277 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: to Joey's and have a cocktail, you know, I mean, 278 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: it was young. So now he's selling game, he's developing. 279 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a big year for 280 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: this guy. One guy I'm anxious to see how he does. 281 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: As carry Hyder comes over from the forty nine ers 282 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: at eight and a half sacks. For those guys can 283 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: play inside and can play outside. If anyone is going 284 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: to learn from this guy. I think LJ. Collier can 285 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: learn from this guy because they're gonna use carry Hyder 286 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: and LJ. Conn of the same way, move them outside, 287 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: moving inside depending on the situation. And then I think 288 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: Dunlight leaves away. There's just so much depth at this position. 289 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: You got ten guys and they're gonna rotate in, keep 290 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,119 Speaker 1: guys fresh. I'm excited. This unit have forty six sacks 291 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: last year. Let's see what they do this year. All right, 292 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: now we're going to the second level linebacker squad. We've 293 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: got Bobby Wagner, Jordan Brooks, Tody Barton, and I'm gonna 294 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: throw in Nick Bolore in there as well because we've 295 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: seen what he does at the linebacker spot. Now it 296 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: all starts with Bobby Wagner. Didn't see Bobby Wagner this preseason, 297 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: and now I am mad at him. I didn't need 298 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: to see Bobby Wagoner this preseason. You know what, You're 299 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: gonna get a phild general who's gonna line guys up, 300 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: make sure you're in a good position. He's gonna fill 301 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: the gaps. He's gonna be dependable, gonna have over one 302 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: hundred sacks. He's gonna be an All Pro mister consistent 303 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: the past eight to nine years. Bobby Wagner, you can 304 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: depend on him. It's all about the guys behind him. Now, 305 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks, I've seen flash. There's no denying how athletic 306 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: this dude is. He might be the most he is 307 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: the most athletic linebacker. Now. Bobby has him in smarts 308 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: and wits and getting in position and all that. But 309 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks has a twitch that I just don't see 310 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: in these other linebackers. And this is gonna be a 311 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: big year for him. Cody Barton as well. Time for 312 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: him to shine. Third year. This is for this kid. Yep, 313 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: this third year out of Utah knows every position got 314 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: significant time during the preseason. Let me give a big 315 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: shout out to ben Burg Curvin, who was a linebacker 316 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: that we lost during preseason towards ACL on the very 317 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: first play of the third preseason game. That's why you 318 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of starters this preseason because you 319 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: never know when it if something can happen. But I 320 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: feel good about this linebacker corps. A little thin, Yetta 321 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: throw Nick Bolauren there, a little thin, but I feel 322 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: good about it. Oh, no question about it. Bobby Wagner 323 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: is a first ballot Hall of Famer, no question about it. 324 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: Jordan Brooks, like you mentioned, has flashed a lot, and 325 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he can do it all. He's quick, 326 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: he can cover guys, and when he goes, he goes 327 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: downhill right away. And that's a cool thing there. And 328 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if we didn't talk about Darryl Taylor 329 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: because Darrell Tayor is playing a lot of that Sam roll. 330 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: So Daryl's gonna be kind of a hybrid. He's gonna 331 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna be playing Sam and then he's gonna be 332 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: rushing the pass room on passing downs. And we're really 333 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: excited to see what he can bring. You know. It 334 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: was great to finally see him get out there, you know, 335 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: the first two preseason games, who's right there, almost got 336 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: a sack, almost got a sack. It was great to 337 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: see in that third preseason game him finally get home 338 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: and finished plays off. So I'm really excited about this unit. 339 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: And before we finished out, my linebackers got to give 340 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: a shout out to our guy kJ Wright Kja. It 341 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: was a sad day at the vMac when we knew 342 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: officially you were not coming back to the Seahawks organization. 343 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: kJ Wright had ten amazing years in a Seahawks uniform. 344 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: Wish him nothing but the best of luck in Oakland. 345 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm happy you don't got to play. Oh you got me. 346 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: I gotta put five dollars in the jar. I got 347 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: a put five dollars in the jar. But no shout 348 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: out to kJ right man, Kju, You're a great teammate. 349 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,479 Speaker 1: You were great to everyone in this organization, me specifically, 350 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: so big shout out to kJ Wright, Sir corners, Bump corners. 351 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: We talked about this position more than arguably any other 352 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: position this year going into camp because of position battles. 353 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: You lose Shaquille Griffin in the offseason. Quintin Dunbar was here, 354 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: he was hurt most year. That didn't really work out 355 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: there last year. DJ Reid comes from the San Francisco 356 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: for nine ers about midway through the year. It makes 357 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: an immediate impact. Right then we got Trey Flowers, who's 358 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: been here for a couple of years, has been a 359 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: multiple year starter. So I'll go through the list of 360 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: corners that we have now starting this first week on 361 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: the active fifty three because there's a lot of things 362 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: that happen over this last week. So on Sunday or 363 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: at least shooting up going into the game, you'll have 364 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, DJ Reid, Sidney Jones, you guys will remember 365 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: from dub standout who's played in Philly, inn in Jacksonville. 366 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: Then you have John Reid who came over from the Texans, 367 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: and then Blissan Austin who was a six round pick 368 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: from the Jets in twenty nineteen and started a lot 369 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: of games over there. He came in after we made 370 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: the initial fifty three. Those are the guys that are 371 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: playing this week because Trey Brown, who we drafted this year, 372 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: one of our three draft picks, will begin the season 373 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: on ir because of a knee injury, the very similar 374 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Colby Parkinson. It's not something that's going to be super 375 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: long term. They're going to bring Hi back when he's ready. 376 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Don't want to rush the rookie, so he'll be out 377 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: for the first three games, so bump. The crazy thing here, man, 378 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: is when we started camp Man, we were talking about 379 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: a Kelly Witherspoon. A lot of people and myself included 380 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: thought what I saw at the beginning camp, like this 381 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: man's gonna start. This man has done was doing a 382 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: lot of good things in practice. But here's the deal, man, 383 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: if you're gonna trust anybody when it comes to defensive backs, 384 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: it's Pete, Carroll and John Snyder. They know what they're doing. 385 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: They have a PhD In that everyone else, man, you're 386 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: just out there. You just graduated high school essentially in 387 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: the equivalent. So everything that they decide is obviously is 388 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: the right call. But it's promising in a sense that 389 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: DJ Read and Trey followers came out and competing. Pete 390 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: said all along that he had one of the best 391 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: camps he's ever had, and I know Trey people get 392 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: down on tray a lot for you know, almost kind 393 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: of unfairly. He had a tough gaming its Green Bay 394 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: two years ago, and that kind of just stuck in 395 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: everyone's mind and no one kind of could forget it. 396 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: There's definitely a place he can make. Sometimes he commits 397 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: too many penalties. I mean, that's he knows that, but 398 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: he had a really strong camp. I'm really excited to 399 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: see him go out there and compete, and then I'm 400 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: excited to see what Sidney Jones can bring to this 401 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: because they went out and got Sidney Jones, so they 402 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: know what they're getting from him and what they've seen. 403 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: They got to see him start at the University of 404 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: Washington for a long time, so I'm really excited to 405 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: see how this group competes as we start this season off. 406 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: We did talk a lot about this group during the 407 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: off season, and there has been a lot of turnover, 408 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: a lot of movement in this group, and I'm just 409 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: happy for Tray to get another opportunity. I think there 410 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: are a couple of guys who are in a situation 411 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: to where they have to perform this year, and I 412 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: think Trey has done good decent over the last few years. 413 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: He hasn't been a Pro Bowl or anything like that, 414 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: but good corners are so hard to find. And Trey 415 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: Flowers walk through the gauntlet and defending everybody. Dunbar defending 416 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: him off, and Kella Weatherspoon defending him off. He's like, 417 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: whoever you bring Trey, you got hurt, don't worry, I'm 418 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: ready to go. Trey Flowers has been resilient and I 419 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: think that's going to help him as he continues to 420 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: grow as a corner. All Right, now, we got to 421 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: go to probably the most secure spot on the defense 422 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: right now. It's a safety position. We know who he got. 423 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams said a franchise record or excuse me, NFL 424 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: record for sacks buy a dB last year with nine 425 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: and a half ten sacks. Quandre nine and a half. 426 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: Quandre had five interceptions last year left the football club. 427 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: Marki's Blair got injured Week two. He is healthy now, 428 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: making plays, scored a touchdown in the last preseason game 429 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: against the Charters. Uguamati has just been sitedly consistent, right, 430 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: not a guy who you've seen just blow somebody up, 431 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: making interception, scoop and score. But he's always around the football, 432 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: sitedly consistent. And then Ryan Neil. All he does is 433 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: make big plays. Had an interception this preseason. Last year 434 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: had a couple of interceptions. Started its first start against 435 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, had an interception. All he does is make plays. 436 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: He ended the preseason with an oblique injury. I assume 437 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be fired from that. Didn't seem like 438 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: anything too crazy. But out of all these guys, the 439 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: two I'm looking at our Blair in the Matti and 440 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm looking at them is because that 441 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: nickel spot just hasn't been the same since Coleman last 442 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: the hawkses haven't had a guy who's gonna lock down 443 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: the interior receiver and just do his thing. There's a 444 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: huge opportunity for these guys who solidify themselves on this 445 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: football team at that nickel spot. And even if they 446 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: do end up sharing the time or splitting it, I 447 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: think it's all good because these guys are the future. 448 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: If Blair can stay around, you know, Quandre's gonna get older, 449 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: Jamal is gonna get older. Maybe his his his style 450 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: of play changes, who knows. But you always need guys 451 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: in the wings ready to go, and how do you 452 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: develop them. You get them playing time. Marky's Blair in 453 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: Ugo Almighty are gonna have opportunities to do that. I'm 454 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: excited about this group. I'm really secure about this group 455 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: simply because of Jamal. Yeah, those are It's easily, in 456 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: my opinion, the best safety Tanam in the National Football League. 457 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is stuff other strong safeties cannot do. Quandre 458 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: Diggs is a great center field player. He'll come down, 459 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll hit you. Those two are the best safety Cannam 460 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: in the league, and I think markis Blair is gonna 461 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: put the league on notice. You talked about him while 462 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: you're looking at him, you're excited about him. I think 463 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: he is going to force Ken Norton to have him 464 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: on the field, doesn't matter what situation, how it is. 465 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: I think his play where we're gonna see from him 466 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: this year is he's going to force everybody's hand and say, hey, 467 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: twenty seven needs to be on the field because he 468 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: makes too many plays. And I'm really excited to see 469 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: how he goes. And Ugumadi's right there too. He can 470 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 1: back up any position. Stepped in last year, did a 471 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: phenomenal job at that spot. So we were incredibly deep 472 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: there at the safety position. And a specialist man, you know, 473 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: we already know about them, man, Jason Meyers holding down 474 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: franchise record and consecutive kicks made. Michael Dixon, I mean, 475 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: there was nothing to say about him. His last pun 476 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: against the Chargers all you need to say about him, 477 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: seventy five yards in the air, puts the ball at 478 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: the one yard line down easily, Tyler. And he's got 479 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: a sleeve. Now sleeve tis got that sleeve tent. Let's 480 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 1: go oh yeah, No, Honestly, I think we got one 481 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: of the most assured specialist units as well as a 482 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: great special team unit underhead special team's coach Larry Izzo. 483 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: So not allowed to say about the specialist man because 484 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: we know what they do each and every week. So 485 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: bump this last thing on the roster construction. Nothing really 486 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: jumped out surprises, But what are your thoughts on the 487 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: overall all depth of this roster and what's the what's 488 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: the number one thing that jumps out to you? Man, 489 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: I look at this roster and I see a roster 490 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: that's good to go offensively. You got an old line 491 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: that's kind of been reconstructed. You're bringing in Gabe Jackson, 492 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: you move Damian Lewis to the other guard spotting, and 493 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: you signed Dwayne Brown called fuller wins the center spot. 494 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: I like the way the old line looks. In the backfield, 495 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: you have six running backs, all right, you got six 496 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: of them. You got the ground and Prown Bruiser, you 497 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: got the guy who's kind of shifty and can get 498 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: out the backfield, and DJ Dallas, you got the pass 499 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: protection guy. And Travis Homer Rashod Pinning was see what 500 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: he does. Alice Collins. I mean, there's so many ways 501 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: you can go there. Receiver wise, I don't even need 502 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: to say nothing. You know who's out there. You know 503 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: who we got a receiver gets to go defensively. I 504 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: look at the depth of that D line and I'm 505 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: encouraged because to calls turnovers, to disrupt things, your D 506 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: line has to be active and get after the quarterback. 507 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: You got guys who can do that. You can do 508 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: that secondary. We'll see what those corners look like. But 509 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: I feel good about DJ. I feel good about Trade Flowers. 510 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: If there was a question mark on defense, we'll see 511 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: what happens there. Overall, I feel good about this. Any surprises, No, 512 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: I think it happened exactly the way we thought it 513 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: was gonna happen. Guys were in position that we expected 514 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: to be there. The only guy that we're missing right now, 515 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: I feel like it's Kobe Parkinson's at that tight end spot. 516 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: He has a foot injury. But I look at this roster, nass, 517 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: no real surprises, except you know, there's one where this 518 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: spoon is gone. I thought where this spoon was gonna 519 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: be the starter at the corner spot for this football club. 520 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: Now gonna happen. Tred is another opportunity. I like the 521 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: death man. It's it's NFC Championship game or bus. That's why. 522 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: That's how I feel about this roster. All Right, we've 523 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: heard about the roster construction, we've heard about the injuries. 524 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: Now it's finally time to shift our focus to who's next, 525 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: Who's next, Who's next, Who's next? The Indianapolis Colts. They 526 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: were eleven and five in second place finishers in the 527 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: AFC South in twenty twenty. They lost to the Buffalo 528 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: Bills in the wild card playoffs last year twenty four 529 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: to twenty seven. As you guys will remember, their starting 530 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: quarterback was Philip Rivers, who's not coaching high school football. Now. 531 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: The Colts, they had a great year, you know, reaches 532 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: in his third year. I believe now, and they've done 533 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: some really good things. Man. If you look at what 534 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: the years both teams had last year, the Seahawks were 535 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: twelve and four, Colts eleven and five. They're both high 536 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: ranking offenses. The Seahawks notoriously started really high last year, 537 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: came down. They finished seventeenth overall. The Colts finished ten. 538 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: Running the football, they're about neck and neck the Seahawks 539 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: finished twelfth that one hundred and twenty three yards per game. 540 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: The Colts were eleventh at one hundred and twenty four 541 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: yards per game. Pass offense, the Seahawks finish sixteenth at 542 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six yards per game and the 543 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Colts had two hundred and fifty three yards per game. 544 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: And when it came to points, these teams were about 545 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: neck and neck. The Seahawks were eighth in the NFL 546 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: scoring twenty eight points a game and the Colts were 547 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: at ninth the NFL, scoring twenty eight points a game 548 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: as well. Seahawks twenty eight point seven, Colts twenty eight 549 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: point two. But here's the thing about this Colts team. Man, 550 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: I have a new quarterback which will get into a 551 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: lot in a little bit here. But they're Bolster bike 552 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: great online. Man. They're center Ryan Kelly AP second team 553 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: All Pro. They got a guard Quentin Nelson AP first 554 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: Team All Pro. So they have one of the best 555 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: old lines in the National Football League. And they're gonna 556 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: have a solid offense TBD on some of the weapons 557 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: they have because of injury and things like that. But 558 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: Bump is a pretty good football team if you just 559 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: look at the head to head comparison, you can make 560 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: an argument for the Colts to beat the Seattle Seahawks. 561 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: You just looked at all these numbers, their neck and 562 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: neck or the Colts lead, and a lot of categories. 563 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: But the differences I feel like is that we just 564 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson. They have Carson Wentz. At this point, 565 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: that's going to be the deciding factor. Now, they do 566 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: got some guys over there who can ball. Jonathan Taylor 567 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: eleven hundred and sixty nine yards last year. The kid 568 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: can move. If you go to us Seahawks dot com, 569 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: check out my film session I Broke them down. I 570 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: has great vision, has a great old line, and he's 571 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: patient with the ball in his hand. You expect these 572 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: guys to rely on him often and early. Now on 573 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: the Seahawks side, we got Chris Carson. We just haven't 574 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: seen a full season of Chris Carson. Last year, we 575 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: just didn't see him six hundred and eighty one yards. 576 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: If he can stay healthy, he's just as good, if 577 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: not better than Jonathan Taylor. He's gonna get his respect back. 578 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: People kind of are sleeping on Chris Carson because they 579 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: haven't seen him for a full year. He's gonna get 580 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: him back, all right. And also another to compare our 581 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: head head to head kind of sat locking locking a madcap. 582 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: They don't have anybody over there who can who can 583 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: offensively compare with them. Now you have Michael Pittman. You 584 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: got t Y Hilton. Pittman is a possession receiver. He's young. 585 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: Had five hundred yards last year. T Y Hilton had 586 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: I believe around six hundred yards last year. He's getting older, 587 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: he's getting up there. They don't have the same combo 588 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: that we have over here. So I expect the Seattle 589 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: Seahawks to outperform these dudes. But they are on the road. 590 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: It isn't early start. But Pete here has shown ten 591 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: am starts no longer face them. They are good to go. 592 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: All right, Next segment, No, your history, man, what's going 593 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: on between these two teams? Your history? All right? So 594 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: this all time matchup between the Seahawks and the Colts. 595 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are five and seven against the Colts all time. 596 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: Last meeting, the Seahawks pound of the Colts forty six 597 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: to eighteen on Sunday Night Football back in twenty seventeen 598 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: at Loumin field. Now a couple of crazy things as 599 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: I was just looking through that game, man, which is 600 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: just so crazy how far this team has come from 601 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen season. Seahawks leading rusher of that tabump, 602 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy Eddie eleven carries for fifty two yards, two 603 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: defensive scores. Justin Coleman, who talked about earlier, had to 604 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: pick six. Bobby Wagner also picked up a fumble ran 605 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: it back for a touchdown. Our new friend Robert Turbin 606 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: who's joined us on the pre and post game show, 607 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: he had a touchdown for the Colts, so he was 608 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: on the receiving end of that beat down. We can 609 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: talk about that on Sunday and see him. And then 610 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: here's the other thing, man, My guy who was a 611 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: great locker room guy when he was here, JD me 612 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Kissick scored this thirty yard touchdown. And I'll tell you 613 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: why in a second. This was so significant. Rush is 614 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: gonna hand him a kissing. He goes right time he 615 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: stepped the time of the tackle. Fuck touchdown, Shawks, are 616 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: you kidding me? Shut him? Shut him out? Man? Where 617 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: did he come from? He was in the backfield and 618 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he was in the insold 619 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: from dirty yards out. Goodness, gracious, the Teahawks on top 620 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: twenty four eighteen. Now, why was that run so significant? Bump? 621 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: That was the last touchdown that year that was scored 622 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: by a Seahawks running back. Okay, this Sunday night football 623 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: game was played in week four. Goodness, I remember that year. Yeah, 624 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: Russell all do everything type year man, Russell Dwarry. There 625 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: was a year he was gonna did they make the 626 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: playoffs that year? That was only year he did, not 627 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: only year we didn't. Ye, that was when you first 628 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: stopped on the PrePost and we had the little hiccup 629 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: against the Rams and then the loss at Jackson game 630 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: and we're right there at the end. Then we missed 631 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: the field goal against Arizona to end the season. But 632 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: I bring that up just to shed light on how 633 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: deep our running back room is. Now, how good Chris 634 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: Carson is, how good you know he's going to prove 635 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: to the rest of the league that he is at 636 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: one thousand yard rusher and he's gonna do amazing things. 637 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: He's in great shape. So have respect for your boy. 638 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: People need to put respect back on Chris Carson's name 639 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: and just a reminder where things have comes in twenty 640 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: and seventeen. With that being said, bump Man, we gotta 641 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: figure out what's what's the word? What's the word in 642 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: the West? And the Seahawks were the NFC West champs. Again, 643 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: what's the word in the West? On hot talk? What's 644 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: the word? I'll tell you what it is. Seahawks are 645 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: the defending NFC West champions, finishing twelve and four last year. 646 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: Ten and six were the Los Angeles Rams, aid Worth 647 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: the Cardinals six and ten worthy San Francisco forty nine 648 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: ers in it. It's a battle out West, Man. Nothing 649 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: comes easy out in the West. Now you add Matthew 650 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: Stafford to this division, you still got Kyler Murray with 651 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. He gets a J. Greene San Francisco, 652 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: they drive Trey Lance. They get healthy on defense, they 653 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: get healthy on offense. Deebo, Samuel Randon, I youth. I mean, 654 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a battle out here. You never know what's going 655 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: to happen. Now. Last year was the first time the 656 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: Seahawks won the NFCY West since twenty sixteen. And I 657 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: have to say, man, you know the rival Roberty has 658 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: been the forty nine ers, but it's shifting over to 659 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean you you beat the Rams in 660 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: the title game last year, and then the first round 661 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: you play them again and they beat you, and then 662 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: there's some trash talkers saying, look, you can have your 663 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: T shirts for going on to the next Ram. Sean 664 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: McVay has been the guru in the division for the 665 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: past four years, making the playoffs three out of four seasons. 666 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: Things can change, though. The sleeper in the West, the 667 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: sleeper in the West has to be the Arizona Cardinals. Man, 668 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: they haven't made the playoffs in five consecutive seasons. I 669 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: think Kingsbury is on a short leash now, but Kyla 670 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Murray has a couple more weapons that he can use. 671 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: It can go anyway in the West. But I still 672 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 1: feel like the Seahawks are the favorites to win because 673 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: of consistency. He Carol's gonna be there, Snyder has been there, Locket, Russell, Bobby. 674 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: When you look at consistency in this division, you gotta 675 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: look at the Seattle Seahawks. Oh yeah, it's not even close. 676 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: When we talk about playoff appearances, ten wins seasons, the 677 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: lack of not having losing seasons for the Seahawks are 678 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: the only ones to not have a losing season in 679 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: the duration the Russell Wilson's been here. But as we know, 680 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: it's the toughest division in the National Football League. I 681 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: mean we say that each and every year. You look 682 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: at you mentioned the Rams. They got Matthew Stafford, who 683 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: that's who Sean McVay wanted. And it's gonna be a 684 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: really interesting year and almost a prove it type year, 685 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: which is weird to say for a coach who's already 686 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: gote to the super Bowl and made the playoffs three 687 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: out of four years, and for a guy like Matthew 688 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: Stafford has been in the league as long as he has. 689 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: But the reason I say that is because he's always 690 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: kind of had that. Well, he's in Detroit. He's really good, 691 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: but you only had Calvin Johnson. He's really good despite 692 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: bad coaching. He's really good despite all that's out man, 693 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: that's that's gone. Now you got Robert Woods, you got 694 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, you got you got who, you got Sean 695 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: mcvays your head coach. You got Aaron Donald on the 696 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: defensive side. So they're gonna have to do some things 697 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: this year, and it's gonna be hard because they lost 698 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: cam Akers. They got one of the best defenses in 699 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: the league. You lose cam Akers, you're bringing Sony Michelle, 700 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: you Stubb, Darryl Henderson, Deservance or did he go to LS. 701 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: I think he's still on the roster, but I think 702 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: he's banged up. He's banged up. You have your weapons, 703 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: you got you got Higbee at the tight end spot. 704 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: You got some weapons, So excuses are gone. Let's see 705 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: what Matthew Stafford does. I wish him well, just not 706 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks. I always like to see athletes do 707 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: their thing, but I work for the Hawks. Man. I 708 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: live in Seattle. I live in the Northwest. I don't 709 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: want you to come up here and do anything. Okay, 710 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: that was nterc West. Now let's man up. Look at 711 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: some matchups. Is this miss this? Man up on Hawk talk? 712 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: Man up. We're gonna started right at the quarterback position. 713 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: You can't look much farther than Carson Wentz. When you're 714 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: talking about the Indianapolis Colts and we're looking at Carson 715 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: Wentz against the Seasks defense man. Carson Wentz is making 716 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: his Colts debut last year, for the Philadelphia Eagles in 717 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. He was twenty five excuse me, two hundred 718 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: and fifty one for four and thirty seven two thousand, 719 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty yards sixteen touchdowns in fifteen interceptions. 720 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: This man was benched for the first time in his 721 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: sixty eight game NFL career for Jalen Hurtz. Michael Bambas 722 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: called that early in that season it wasn't on Carson Wentz. 723 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: O line was had a lot of injuries and they struggled. 724 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: They missed seven off hintive starters, five defensive starters. You know, 725 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: ten other key players missed time for them. With that 726 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: being said, it was easily the worst season miss career 727 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: in bump Man. I was doing some research and looking 728 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: into how things ended there in Philly, Man and I 729 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: was reading some stuff from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Man, and 730 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: people in Philly are just brutal, I mean brutal, killing him, 731 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: saying he quit on the team, he was done the 732 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: second he got bench, he wasn't a good teammate, he's selfish, 733 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: he took all the money because he got paid in 734 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and all kinds of stuff. They said his 735 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: pocket presence was bad, his accurate was bad. You know, 736 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen was so long ago. He never got over 737 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: the getting hurt and Nick Foles leading him to a 738 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: super Bowl, and I was just like, my goodness, this 739 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: man was an m v peat candidate for you until 740 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: he got hurt. It's so crazy how this league is. 741 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: You can go from being at the top of the 742 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: game and everyone telling you how good you are to 743 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: one moment those same people saying you're the worst thing 744 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: that's ever happened to him. So Carson Wentz, he gets 745 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: a fresh start in Indianapolis. He was hurt coming in 746 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: training camp. He was a full participant today in practice, 747 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: so he will be a full go against the Seahawks. 748 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: And Bump man, what do you think? What do you 749 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: think about Carson Wentz. He's getting a new fresh start 750 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: with a coach he had success with him. Yeah, man, 751 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: he was Pro Bowler MVP candidate last time these two 752 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: hooked up. So you would think he's in his comfort zone. 753 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: He's out of Philly, one of the most ruthless fan 754 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: bases in all of football. He's out of there. He's 755 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,359 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis' is a lot more welcoming in Indianapolis. You're 756 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: playing doors, you don't have to worry about the weather. 757 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna have one of your receivers t y 758 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: to start the season. He's banged up, but you have 759 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: an offensive line that's gonna protect you, and you have 760 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: a running game that's gonna get you going. And like 761 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: I said, you link back up with a coach that 762 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: last time you're with him, you had some of your 763 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: greatest years. So things look good for Carson Wentz. If 764 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't get it done here, then I think he's 765 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: just a glorified number two quarterback who's looking for a 766 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: spot every single year. But you know again, I'm a 767 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: former athlete. I wish him well, just not Week one. Yeah, okay, wins. 768 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: I was one of the guys in his corner life. 769 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a bounce back year 770 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: for him because there's no denying the talent this dude has. 771 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: It's there. Sometimes in a situation it's just not to 772 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: get fit anymore. You move on, you can flourish elsewhere. 773 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: All right, We'll see what he does this year. Another 774 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: matchup Seahawks dbs versus the Colts wide receivers now we 775 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: know that DJ and Trey Flowers are gonna hold it 776 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: down on the outside. I'm looking forward to seeing that 777 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: DJ has sixty two tackles, two interceptions and seven passes 778 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: defended last year. Now, Trey Flowers up and down, smiles 779 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: and frowns. Call it what you want, but there were 780 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: times where he was consistent in playing well. He started 781 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: seven games in twenty twenty forty seven tackles, two passes defended, 782 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: one force fumble, one tackle for loss. Now, this is 783 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: a good week for these guys to get their start. 784 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: Why is it a good week? Because the Colts are 785 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: low banged up at the receiver position. Ty is not 786 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: gonna be there. But Zach Pascal Am I saying that 787 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: right now? In fact, I heard pronunciation guy, But I 788 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: think that's right. I think it's Pascal all right now, 789 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman are gonna be there, guys. Now, Pascal had 790 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: forty four reception six twenty nine yards and five touchdowns. 791 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: He's gonna be their number one guy this year, at 792 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: least until t Why gets back. Pittman Junior had forty receptions, 793 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: five hundred three yards in one touchdown. Pittman is a 794 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: possession receiver, big boy, He'll go across the middle, He'll 795 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: makings happen for you. It's just not the same without Tyhill. 796 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 1: So if there is a week that I feel confident 797 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: on the perimeter on the outside with these dbs, it 798 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: has to be this week just because of what they're 799 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: going up against. Yeah, no question about it. I think 800 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna see some dogs at the receiver position as 801 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: this season goes on, and I think this is a 802 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: great way. And this is not throwing shade at the 803 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 1: receiving corps for Indianapolis. It's just this is a good 804 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: ease into the season to try to build some confidence 805 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: and make things happen. Another matchup on to look at 806 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: the og OJ Dwayne Brown against Quitty pay Now listen. 807 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: We've talked about Dwayne throughout the podcast today. Dwayne Brown 808 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: one of the best, if not the best, left tackle 809 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He's been well rested, but 810 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: he's been here the entire time. Call it a hold in, 811 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. He's been here every 812 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: single day. He's been keeping his body in great shape. 813 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: He's been in every single meeting, he's tended every single walkthrough. 814 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: He's back at practice. Now, Dwayne Brown is ready to go, 815 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: ready to protect that blind side of Russell Wilson. So 816 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: we know that about Dwayne. But I'm listening to a 817 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: lot of chatter coming at Indianapolis.

Ninety seven tackles, twenty three TFLs, eleven 820 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: and a half sacks in his career there, only played 821 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: in four games as a senior, didn't really play much 822 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: as a freshman, so he didn't have a full career there, 823 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: But what people saw it was a lot of potential. 824 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 1: People have gave him a lot of praise throughout the preseason, 825 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: got in a sack in each game he's played in. 826 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: So the thing that I'm looking here is, you know, 827 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: the rookie guy that was a first round pick for them, 828 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: someone that they put a lot of capital in that 829 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: hoping can play. Right now, Well, guess what, young man, 830 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: You're going up against one of the best to ever 831 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 1: do it, who's been doing it since you were probably 832 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,959 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, playing little league at this level, 833 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,880 Speaker 1: So it'll be it'll be a fun match up to 834 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: watch Dwayne Brown and quite pay get it on. Yeah, 835 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see that quitty. I love that name too. 836 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: I just when we broadcast on Sunday, I'm not going 837 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: to say his name at least three four times. Kay. 838 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: I like that name, solid name. Big up to your 839 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: mom and dad. All right, next matchup, we got DK Metcalf, 840 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett versus Kitty Moore and Xavier Rhoads Now. Like 841 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned before, Medcalf and Lockett one the two, if 842 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: not the best duo wide receiver tandems in the NFL. Now, 843 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: last year they both had over a thousand yards. That's 844 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: the second time en franchise history that has happened. Brian 845 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: Blaize Enjoy Galloway did it in nineteen ninety five. Also 846 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: became the first set of receivers to post eighty plus 847 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: receptions each in a season in club history. That's special, man, 848 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: And they duel without ego. If anyone has a bigger 849 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 1: personality is DK. But I think because DCA has the 850 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: big personality and Lockett is kind of low key, it 851 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: just works, all right. They also both had ten touchdowns 852 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: last year. All Right, that doesn't happen often, folks. Enjoy 853 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: that just like you gotta enjoy Bobby and Russell and 854 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: everybody else. You gotta take in this moment and enjoy 855 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: what we're seeing out of Tyler Lockett in DK Metcalf. 856 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: Now the guys are going up against more Rows. Nice 857 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: little challenge you got coming up. More has sixty eight tackles, 858 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: twelve passes defended, four interceptions in two sacks in twenty 859 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: twenty roads thirty five tackles told passes defended two interceptions 860 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: last year. Now, Rose struggled at times last year, but 861 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: there's no denying the talent that he has. And then again, 862 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: I like this matchup because it's not This isn't kind 863 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: of an ease and too it this is okay, you 864 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: guys are one of the best duels in the league. 865 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna put you up against some guys who can 866 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: play this game and who can play it well. I 867 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: look for Locking in DK to establish themselves early a 868 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: couple of big plays, But I think we're all interested 869 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: to see how they really are incorporated in this new 870 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: offense with all those crossing routes, those sitting in space route. 871 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: Is this going to change their game? Is this going 872 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: too effective? Numbers? I don't care if it does, as 873 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: long as they are producing and winning football games. Without question, 874 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,439 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how More does because More plays 875 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot in the slot, but he'll bounce around and 876 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: as we know in this offense, DK and Tyler, they're 877 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: gonna move all around until it's gonna be fun matchup 878 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: to start Week one. I think we know we're gonna 879 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: give the edge to lock it in Metcalf just because 880 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: they're different kind of dudes. But it'll be fun matchup 881 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: to watch there. And the last one I want to 882 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 1: look at, man the forced buckner Darius Leonard versus erbody, erbody, 883 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: erbody on the offensive side of the ball. And the 884 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: reason I say that, man is these dudes can flat 885 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: out play. I mean, you need to know where the 886 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: arm on every single play. And of course he would 887 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: with a mic linebacker and things like that, but just 888 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: Leonard has had an unreal starter's career man despite missing 889 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: two games last year, he had one hundred and thirty 890 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: two tackles, seven TFLs, three sacks, seven passes defended, three 891 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 1: forced bumbles, two fumble recoveries, finished eighth in the NFL 892 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: and tackles. With missing two games three years He's had 893 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,400 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixteen tackles, been an All Pro every year. Man, 894 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: he is the truth. He's a really fun linebacker to watch. 895 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: And then the forced Buckler man, he's been doing it 896 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: for a while. He's been a force in the middle 897 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: for the Colts. At his defensive tackle position. He had 898 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: fifty eight tackles, nine and a half sacks, three passes defended. 899 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, this guy when it comes to 900 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,280 Speaker 1: defensive tackles is at the top of the league pretty 901 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: much every category. He was a first team All Pro 902 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Those two make this defense go. So 903 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how, you know, Kyle Fuller, 904 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,320 Speaker 1: Gabe Jackson, Damian Lewis, how they kind of negotiate that, 905 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: you know, making sure they're right on all their calls, 906 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: and how they kind of defend those guys, because those 907 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: guys are what make these guys go. And if we're 908 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: gonna run the football and established run, we're gonna need 909 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 1: it from Kyle Fuller. They're gonna set the tone on 910 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: these guys and it'll be a fun matchup to watch 911 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: Buckner nine and a half sacks on the d tackle 912 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: spot that is impressive. All right for you guys who 913 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: don't understand. He has taken on double teams danger every 914 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: snap and for him to get nine and a half sacks, 915 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: that is impressive. All Right, we've gone through all the 916 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: matches we're looking for. How are these Hawks gonna win 917 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: the game. Here's your path to victory? After forty five 918 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 1: waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts it down. That 919 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: kick is away. If that kick is gone, it's gun. 920 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,880 Speaker 1: It's a pass to victory. On Hawk Talk, how's the 921 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: victory before we talk about that? Man, it's gonna be 922 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: so good to hear Raves calling the games again. It 923 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: just gets me excited when I hear Steve Rabel, I 924 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: know it's getting real. Okay, here's their path to victory. 925 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: Start fast. The Seahawks are nineteen and seven since twenty thirteen. 926 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: During ten am starts. When I was with the Hawks 927 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: and nast Man, we go to East Coast, We're like, 928 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 1: here we go. Here was an l I think we 929 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 1: lost to the Giants. I mean we lost to the 930 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: I want to say the Bucks. I mean we fly 931 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: across in Mississippi. It was a rap. These guys have 932 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: figured out a way to not let that hinder their performance, 933 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: no question about it. Start fast. I love that, and 934 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 1: take advantage of what you got going on offense, man, 935 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. You know, there's film out there from 936 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: the preseason. There's some film from what the Rams did 937 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: last year, but no one has really seen what this 938 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: offense is. No one has seen it, you know, at 939 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,879 Speaker 1: any level of football. It's really funny the first game. 940 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: You know, you do all this work, you go all 941 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: through camp, and you do once you start putting all 942 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 1: the game plan stuff. Man, you prep into that first series. 943 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: In that first series, you get out there and they 944 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: come out in something completely different that you have not 945 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: seen or practice against. And then you're like, oh, snap, 946 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 1: pre we go. We just gotta play football. So take 947 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,439 Speaker 1: advantage of it. I think Shane Waldron's kind of show 948 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: off what this offense has been working on since he 949 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: got here. So take advantage of that and take it 950 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: to him offensively. Take advantage and take the ball away. 951 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: Carson will turn that ball over if you get pressure 952 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: on him, you hit him a couple of times from 953 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 1: QB hits, you make him rush from things, he will 954 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: turn the full ball over. And that's how you win games. 955 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: If you win the turnover battle. Most of the times 956 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: you win that football game. And this is gonna be 957 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: huge for this defensive line. You're going up again. It's 958 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 1: one of the best old lines in the league. Only 959 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: allowed like twenty sacks last year. All right, d line, 960 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: establish yourself, get to Carson Wins, make him make horrible decisions. 961 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: Take the ball away, go get it. And while we're 962 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 1: taking the ball away, don't give up the big play. Defensively, man, 963 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: the Colts don't have home run threats in my opinion, 964 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 1: when it comes to the offensive side of the ball. 965 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: Ty Hilton is kind of that guy. He's not playing 966 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday. They have good athletes, right, They have guys 967 00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: that can make plays, Taylor and Pittman, Pascal, those guys 968 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,399 Speaker 1: can make plays. Carson Wentz. They have a good offensive line. 969 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: But don't let anyone get behind you, especially defensive backs. 970 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,720 Speaker 1: This is a great way, especially to start the season, 971 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: and just quiet all the noise, all the haters. People 972 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: said a lot of things about this unit. And let 973 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: everybody know dj Re Trey Filers, you guys can play. 974 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: Keep everything in front, make the big play. All right, 975 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 1: Let's keep it one hundred ass. This is a game 976 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,239 Speaker 1: they should win. This is a game we expect them 977 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: to win. I don't know what Vegas has the line 978 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: or whatever, but I don't I don't know.
