Some big news coming out of 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: vMac this week was tight and Ed Dixon was added 17 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster. Dix insman on IR 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: this whole season as he was recovering from knee surgery 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: in training camp, so that should definitely help the thin 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: tight end room. Let's make room and the roster though, 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: the seatt did have the way of nickel corner Jamar Taylor, 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: which opened things up for Ugle Maddy to get some 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: playing time at nickel. As far as other injuries go, 24 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: Luke Wilson's been battling a hamstring injury. It's gonna be 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: difficult for him to go on Sunday. Head coach Pete 26 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: Carroll spoke to that, as well as Tyler Lockett status 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: this week, Lucas is the one that we're gonna have 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: to watch. Um, of course we're watching Tyler. But Tyler's 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: really on the upswing now. Um, it's a couple of 30 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: tough days, you know, before we got out of California. 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: But he's feeling way better and expects to do some work. 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: He's gonna catch some balls after practice with Russ and 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: and uh start getting ready to go. I do. Yeah, 34 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: he thinks that too. All right, Michael, Let's get into 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: the Week twelve opponent. Like you said, the Seaffs are 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: going down to Philly to take on the Eagles, and 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: the Eagles dropped a nail biter tight game to the 38 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: Patriots last week sounded like this, and they break from 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: a huddle with Sunu, Watson and Edelman to the right. 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: Door set a tight split short side left white to 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: the rider. Brandy office ed him in motions into the 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: backfield and then motions out to the right and Brady 43 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: throws into much later, Ediman is looking at throw under 44 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: pressure to the end. Zoe for Dorset, I strike for 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: a Patriots touchdown. Razzle dazzle baby, you get see from 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: a pair perfect call by McDaniels. The execution of Brady 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: just to take a slight step up to make sure 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: Edelman off the return motion is wide enough and behind him. 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: He quickly gets in the ball and Edelman throws a 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: dirt the door set dragon left the right. Two razzle 51 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: dazzles so far in this play for fifteen yard golden 52 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: flash from the former Kent State quarterback, his first touchdown 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: pass since the two fourteen AFC Divisional Round playoff win 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: over Baltimore, and the Patriots will keep the offense on 55 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the field to go for two. And by the way, 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: from Philip door set a career high fifth touchdown reception 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: this year. He was wide open in the middle of 58 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: the end zone. Three receivers left. Now it's getting the 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: motions right. White in the backfield for the pattles they 60 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: look for two. They've taken the lead in Philadelphia with 61 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: a fourth straight score. Pitt shark merchant by him. They 62 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: had off the white jump cut rights for two. All right, 63 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots add to their leads. So they have taken 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: a seventeen ten advantage in a third quarter here in Philly. 65 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I feel better that was the game winning score. Hit 66 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: him with a little razzle dazzle, Michael. Would you see 67 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: from that Eagle Patriots game last week? Razzle dazzle? I 68 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: definitely saw that. And I also saw two teams are 69 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: struggling to really move the football. For the first time 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: tom Brady's paid a play a full game. Someone else 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: on the team led them in touchdown passes. That sounds 72 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: like a fake stat right there. Now, Yeah, when is 73 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: Tom Brady? First of all, the fact that is Tom 74 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: Brady didn't throw a touchdown pass? And when is that? 75 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean not since back to maybe two thousand and three, 76 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: early on in his career when he still had that 77 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: like game manager role. But yeah, that's wild. Yeah. I 78 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: also saw Carson Wentz was twenty forty two and fourteen yards, 79 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: only one touchdown, but was sacked five times. And I 80 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: think with the Hawks coming into town, this is the 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: type of game that we need. Our defensive line had 82 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: their best game of the season last week against the 83 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: forty nine ers a Monday night football. It's time to 84 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: get after this guy. But I just saw a grinder. 85 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: I didn't see a very impressive game offensively or defensively 86 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: for both teams, and I think the Eagles are prime 87 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: for another loss when the Hawks go down to PA 88 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: and get this thing done. It was bad for the 89 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: Eagles down the stretch. The Patriots limited Eagles to three 90 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: point eight six yards per play and help them scoreless 91 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: on the last ten possessions of the game, last time possession. 92 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: That has to be frustrating. And then you look at 93 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: that receiving core Anglars averaging eight point nine yards per 94 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: reception per reception that ranks ninety first out of ninety 95 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: seven receivers who are eligible for that, and you gotta 96 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: have twenty five targets to be eligible. That has to 97 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: be frustrating for that Philadelphia offense. Yeah, we'll get into 98 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: that in a little bit, but they're just not in 99 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: terms of the receiving corps there, it's not really getting 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: it done. Building off that Aguilar's averaging five point one 101 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: yards per target and that ranks ninety second in the league, 102 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: and that's that's just hard to think because it's the 103 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: team that recently want a Super Bowl. It feels like 104 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: yesterday they want a super Bowl. But since then they 105 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: they've been average. They've been fifteen in thirteen since winning 106 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl for the last two years, and that 107 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: just goes to show man, it is hard to win 108 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: football games in this league. It is hard to win 109 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: football games. So when you are eight and two, you 110 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: are grateful. So now we're gonna move on to the 111 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: key matchups. The first matchup we have to look at 112 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: as Carson Wentz versus Seahawks front seven. Wentz has two thousand, 113 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy four yards, sixteen touchdowns and just 114 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: four interceptions. He's not playing lights out, but he's not 115 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: a bad quarterback at all. He's still a guy that 116 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: you have to respect and don't forget. If he has 117 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: some space, he can run the ball as well. Wentz 118 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: has been sacked twenty five times on the season. That's 119 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: bad for them. I think that's good for the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, 120 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: so Wentz is gonna He's gonna take care of the football. 121 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: Just four interceptions is a great stat and like you mentioned, 122 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: he does have some wiggles, so he's not going to 123 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: be a statue back there. But they're susceptible giving up sacks. 124 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: And I think if the front seven builds off of 125 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: what they did against San Francisco, I mean, Clowney was 126 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: an absolute monster. Jay Reid came along poona four. You 127 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: got to see him, Chakeem Griffin, so people were there, 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: and I think this is a perfect timing for those 129 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Hawks against that Carson, Wentz knows Eagles offense, perfect time, 130 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: stay aggressive with that front seven. The next matchup, we're 131 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna look at Chris Carson versus Eagles front seven. The 132 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Seahawks are facing another stout run defense. The Eagles are 133 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: fourth best against the run in the NFL, allowing only 134 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: eighty six yards. So last time we played a team 135 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: of dad caliber. The last two weeks, I believe the 136 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: Niners and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Hawks rush for 137 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: over one hundred plus yards both times, So I feel 138 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: like the Hawks are capable of playing a grinder football 139 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: and still moving the rock and getting over a hundred 140 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: yards per game. And you gotta love how they're playing 141 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: because we know we run run the ball. That's what 142 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: we do. We do run the ball. We can run 143 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: it against anybody, but we're keeping teams on their toes. 144 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: I feel like the last couple of weeks we've been 145 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: in a good rhythm offensively. When the Bucks game we started, 146 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: we set it up throwing early on. We set up 147 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: the run by passing and we can do both. So 148 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: I think I think Chris Carson is poised to have 149 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: another big day. Like mentioned, the last time the Seahalls 150 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: face the top tier rushing defense, it was the Tampa 151 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers and they ran for one hundred and forty 152 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: five yards. The secret is out Hawks wouldn't run the 153 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: football and be stubborn doing it. And I don't blame 154 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: him because it has been working for him thus far. 155 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: Next matchup the Eagles receiving corps versus a Seahawks secondary 156 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: tight end. Zach Ertz is definitely the top receiver for 157 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles. He has fifty five receptions six hundred twenty 158 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: one yards, but only two receiving touchdowns. Definitely, like you said, 159 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: their top target. A guy that's a good tie end, 160 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: has good hands, he'll beat you in the seam, he'll 161 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: get north south. But but the problem is he hasn't 162 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: been a red zone target this year and that's and 163 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: that's really kind of hurt the Eagles receiving core. I mean, 164 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: he's not a receiver, but he's their top target. And 165 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: then you go down the line. Jeffrey has thirty four receptions, 166 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty three yards and three touchdowns. Aguilar, 167 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: who we mentioned a little bit ago, thirty six receptions, 168 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty two yards and three touchdowns. They're 169 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: they're not world beaters in that receiving corps. It's just 170 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: not This isn't the production production that you would foresee 171 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: with Wentz being back there. So that lets you know 172 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: there's some protection problems going on, and you look at 173 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: the film. Maybe guys are sloring down a little bit 174 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: on the outside, and you lose to Sean Jackson for 175 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: the rest of ye with a rib injury. I believe 176 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: it was um that has to hurt your team a bit, 177 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: and there's some change is going on over there. The 178 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: next match of the Eagle starting rat tackle versus Clowney 179 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: ONSA Jefferson and Griffin. Lane Johnson starting tackle, probably the 180 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: best offensive lineman, then leave to leave the game versus 181 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: the Wings after being treated for concussion. It's always tough 182 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: to replace a guy of that caliber on your line, Oh, 183 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: especially at that position that is such an important position 184 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: at the right tackle spot. And head coach Doug Peterson 185 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: stepped to the podium kind of give us an update 186 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: about what we can expect from Lane Johnson this week. 187 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: He came out after that touchdown drive. I don't know 188 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: specifically what the play was, but it was after that 189 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: drive that he came to the sideline and we checked 190 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: him and had to put him in the protocol. Is 191 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: in the protocol? Well, it's still it's still early, so 192 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: it's it's I guess stage one of the five stage program. Yeah, 193 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: so stage one. I know it's kind of hard to 194 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: maybe comoctify it, but how much of the offensive struggles 195 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: after he went out were because he was out? I 196 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: mean it affected the run game a little bit. Um 197 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of you know, him and Brandon working together, 198 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, and getting those reps during the week. Um, 199 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: still got a lot of confidence. Obviously in Big V 200 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: he filled in there. Um, but that you know, it's 201 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: it's a loss. I mean you're talking about a you know, 202 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl caliber you know, right tackle, and he 203 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: and Brandon together do some great things and so, um, 204 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: it affects you a little bit. Um, you know, with 205 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: the running game, and he thought about getting Dillard reps 206 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: on that side, you know, going into the game. Obviously 207 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: he was you know, JP status during the week. Obviously 208 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: he was still working at left tackle. Um. But moving forward, 209 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: if if you know, again, depending on Lane's lane status 210 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the week, UM, the plan would 211 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: be to to to work Dillard a little bit at 212 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: right tackle if he cannot go. Mike Coup Andre Diller 213 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: is a start. You know, here's an if I'm gonna 214 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: show any love to the Eagles, it'd be with that 215 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: guy the end of the day. We still want Clowney 216 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: to get after him. It's gonna be tough for that 217 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: guy to come in. He's all he's usually played on 218 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: the left side. Gonna asal Pay on the right side. 219 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how difficult that is, but you would 220 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: have to think there's gonna be some type of adjustment 221 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, and regardless who they put out there, 222 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's not gonna be their Pro Bowl cowboy 223 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: right tackle and Lane Johnson so coming off the game 224 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: that they just watch it. If I'm in Philadelphia and 225 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm watching film and you just saw what Clowney just did, 226 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: You saw Reid's doing, He's all of them. She Keem 227 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: Griffin getting in there, it's gonna be it's gonna be wild. 228 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: I think I think Clowney. I mean, he had ten 229 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: QB pressures last week. He had he could had shoot, 230 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: you could have had five sacks last week. He was 231 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: completely disruptive. He probably should have forced at least four 232 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: or five different holding penalties that weren't called. He's an 233 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: absolute monster, and that is gonna be a rough task 234 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: for anyone, especially a young rookie, to step in there 235 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: and look across and you see Jadeveon Clowney, you see 236 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: jar Reid. Good luck. Time for the D line to 237 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: prove it. Let's go, baby, get or done. So now 238 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna do something that most analysts do and we 239 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't do. We do it anyway. We're gonna look 240 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: into the playoff picture as of now, there's a way 241 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: to really look playoff picture in the NFC. You got 242 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: the division leaders to forty nine ers at nine and one. 243 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: We know who they lost to the Packers at eight 244 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: and two, SAT. SAT eight and two, and then those 245 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys sneaking in there at six and four. It that's 246 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: almost disrespectful, right. I don't like seeing that down there. 247 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: The wild cards right now are the Seattle Seahawks and 248 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: the Vikings. We were talking earlier man beginning of the weekend. 249 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: It looked like things were gonna change for the Hawks 250 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: a little bit, but didn't work out as far as wins. 251 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: My goodness. The Vikings were down twenty to zero. I 252 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: think in the last five or so years teams in 253 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: the NFL were zero in ninety nine been down twenty 254 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: and a half time. They obviously find a way to 255 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: come back and win. And the forty nine ers man. 256 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: The forty nine ers down sixteen nothing, and the Cardinals, 257 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: who played them tough the first time, looked like they're 258 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: gonna get after them, just couldn't quite finish down the stretch. 259 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: The Seahawks wanted a little help, they didn't get it. 260 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: But it's all good because the Seahawks still control there 261 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 1: on death seeing who they play. All they gotta do 262 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: is win out and beat the Niners in Ay all 263 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: as well. Still in a hunt. Are the Rams, the Panthers, 264 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: the Bears, and then you go below there the Lions 265 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 1: of Cardinals and Falcons. We'll see what they do, but 266 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: so are the Hawks. Are doing what they're supposed to do, 267 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: just keep winning ball games, and someone else at the 268 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: top I field is going to take an l eventually. 269 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: On their schedule, the Hawks still are going to Philly, 270 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: Vikings are coming here. They're going to LA to play 271 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: the Rams. They're going to Carolina to play the Panthers, 272 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: then Cardinals at Niners at home to wrap it up. 273 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: If there's any game that gives you some kind of 274 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: concern their nass, which one would it be? Oh, there's 275 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: a couple. I mean, I like that we're playing the 276 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: Vikings at home. They're a good football team, but the 277 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: factor that we're playing them at home. I know we've 278 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: lost two games earlier this year, but that's Tentry Links 279 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: is still a tough place to play. Really, the last two. 280 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: When you see the Cardinals at three seven and one, 281 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: you wouldn't think that but they're they've kind of figured 282 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: something that Colin Murray's playing while they're playing with confidence. 283 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: They've played a ton of close games they just had, man, 284 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: it will finish. And then obviously the forty nine Ers. Man, yep, 285 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: there's one easy team on the schedule, but those two 286 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: scare me the most down the stretch because those are 287 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: probably gonna be deciding factors for what this playoff picture 288 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: turns into. And Kyla Murray takes care of the football. 289 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: That's why I appreciate about that kid. The forty nine 290 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: has remaining schedule. They got the Packers, they go to Baltimore, them, 291 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: they go to New Orleans, Falcons and Rams go down 292 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: to Cali. Then they finish it up north against the Seahawks. 293 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: Their last five or six are tough in than hours. 294 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that is murderous. Row. You got the 295 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: Packers coming in who are hot, the ravens Lamar Jackson, 296 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: that man other than Russell Wilson, obviously, because I still 297 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: think Russell Wilson MNP. Lamar Jackson is doing some things 298 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I've never seen before, obviously in likes 299 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: of Michael Vicken stuff. But he is phenomenal that dude 300 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: is balling, So that's gonna be a tough game at 301 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Then you got the Saints, who are two breezes. 302 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: They're still rolling, they're eight and two. Then the Falcons. 303 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: The Falcons Seaman. I'm actually happy when the Seahawks played 304 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: him because at first everyone was saying, hey, like, how 305 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: did you not blow this team out? How'd you let 306 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: them come back? They went down to New Orleans and 307 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: put a whooping on them. They went to the Panthers 308 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: put a whooping on them there. So the Falcons are 309 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a key factor down the stretch and look 310 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: at play a little spoiler and then they'll finish out 311 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: with the Rams and the Hawks. Let's go baby, all right? 312 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: So now what is the path to victory? One? Continue 313 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: the dominance on the road. The Hawks are perfect five 314 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: and oh on this season, which is super impressive. You 315 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: would think that would be flip five and oh at 316 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: home and maybe two losses on the road, but that's 317 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: not the case. Here, build off the defensive performance against 318 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Show that last Monday wasn't a fluke. 319 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: This is who you are now. You put it on film. 320 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: You left the world see it now, it's build off 321 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, you can get at defensively, especially You've 322 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: shown that every All year everyone was talking about the 323 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: defensive line, pastris pastros, pass us well against arguably the 324 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: team that everyone else thought was the best team in 325 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. You show that you could do it every 326 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: single down, and on top of that, your secondary is 327 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: playing better. So I think, show it you can do 328 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: You put it on film, you show you can do it. 329 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: Let's keep it up. Keep a rolling, must play physical 330 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: on the secondary. Quandre Diggs brought the physicality we've been 331 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: missing all year. I've been waiting for this, the way 332 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: he came downhill, even the tackles that he missed. He 333 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: missed a couple of tackles, but I mean he's coming 334 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: downhill and he's he has bad intentions. He's not coming 335 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: to hug you up. He's not coming this to make 336 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: the play. He wants you to feel him. And I 337 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: love the intensity this guy plays with. Yeah, he came 338 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: out like you said. It was like the first first 339 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: play he missed the tackle or first drive, and he 340 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: kind of took him a couple serious to get into it. 341 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: But once he did, I promise you every forty nine 342 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: Ers receiver was aware where Quandry Diggs was because he 343 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: put the lick on a couple of them. So, I 344 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: mean he and you just love it. I mean, Blair 345 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: brought some of that physicality, but I just love the 346 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: veteran leadership. I mean, he was a captain for the Lions. 347 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: Quandry Diggs can play. I love what he's bringing in 348 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: that secondary. And it seems like he's always in the 349 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: right position. You know, even that pick, if he wasn't 350 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: rallying to the football, not in the right position, he 351 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: doesn't get that ball. So that is fun to see. 352 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: We must run the football. The Eagles have a great 353 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: rushing defense. However, the Hawks have proven all season they 354 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: can run the ball against anybody. It doesn't matter. If 355 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: they have to switch it up and open up with 356 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: the pass versus get the run going, then so be it. 357 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: That's why this team is so versatile, because if you 358 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: need to run the ball, you can run the football. 359 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: If you got to open it up with the pass, 360 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: you open up with the pass. You gotta first year 361 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: dude in DK Metcalf whose extenial expectations hopefully Tyler Lockett 362 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: is healthy. You bring into Josh Gordon, a Hollister comes 363 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: out of nowhere. I think this is the perfect example 364 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: of a next man up team, Like someone goes down, 365 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: the next guys up. I just love the confidence's offense 366 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: is playing with right now. Yeah, and you mention it 367 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who it is, that Malik Turner making a 368 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: huge play, Is that David Moore making big plays, that 369 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is in hollistrated. Anyone who's in the game 370 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: has the playmaking ability. And now they've had all these 371 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: opportunities throughout the year where they've shown they could do it. 372 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: So now when you get in these moments late in 373 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: the season, everyone believes, you know what I mean, everybody 374 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: believes they must take care of the football. The Hawks 375 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: have put the ball on the ground more than they 376 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: ever have under Pete Carroll, which it's disappointing, but it 377 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: shows us how resilent they are as well, because they're 378 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: still finding ways to win ball games. Just don't put 379 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: your defense in tough positions, don't shorten the field, make 380 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: that offense work. Ball security, job security. Absolutely. I mean, 381 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: if anyone knows anything in this program with Pete Carroll 382 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: is protect the football. It's always all about the ball. 383 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: It's always been about It's about creating turnovers and protecting it. 384 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: The Seahawks haven't done a great job of that this year, 385 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: and they're still eight and two. So once you start 386 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: to share up all those things at sky's the limit 387 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: for that offense. Now to get Josh Gordon going, he 388 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: makes some big plays last Monday night. Gotta get him involved, 389 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: man in the way it's the average person looks at 390 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: the players that he made and say, oh, it was 391 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: just a slant, But it was the way he caught 392 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: the slant. It was all hands, it was confidence. He 393 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: gets up, he points to the first down, he drops 394 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the ball like he looks like a veteran and a 395 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: potential superstar, or maybe a former superstar. But you see 396 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: that there's something different in Josh Gordon than there is 397 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: in any of our receivers. And that's what makes our 398 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: receiving corps special. And got your locket, your guy, your 399 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: shifty guy who does everything. You got your monsters on 400 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: the outside. You got your twinter tight end and hollister 401 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: who kind of does everything. You almost have every type 402 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: of receiver on in this receiving corps right now, Well, yeah, 403 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: and you look at the two balls at Josh Gordon Cott, 404 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: they weren't just like random little you know, playing the 405 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: first cord. He caught big time third downs late in 406 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: the football game in his first game ever playing with 407 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: Russel Wilson. So I think the sky's the limit for 408 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. He can really help that receiving corps. Like 409 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: you said, he's just a hand scatcher. He snatches out 410 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: of there. He's big, he's physical, So I am really 411 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: excited to see what we can get out of him 412 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. I'm excited as well. I'm 413 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: excited to see what these Hawks do when they travel 414 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: to p A and take on the Philadelphia Eagles. That's it. 415 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: Michael Bump is here with my producer Nasa Cholby. Thanks 416 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: for tuning in that as Hawk Talk the Preview edition, 417 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: Week twelve. We'll catch you next time.
