Speaker 1: a place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com.

Speaker 1: producer Nasa cholby Hawk Talk Preview Week thirteen. The Sea

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Hawks face the Vikings on the Monday Night football, but

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: we cannot start this episode. What I'll recognizing that Thanksgiving

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: was yesterday? How was your Thanksgiving? Sir? Thanksgiving was great, man.

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: My sister flew in town from New York. Cant seen

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: her for about a year and a half, so it

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: drove up to my uncle's house, a bunch of family

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: in there. I got two young nieces who just been

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: alive weeks. So some twin time. It was good, and

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: then drove all over the state of Washington. So I'm

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: a little tired, but it's all good. I'm still full.

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: I try to get a little work out this morning

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: to run off some of that food. But now was

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: good out with you, it was it was good. You know,

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: my wife has some family in town. They rolled about

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: thirty to forty deep and the the Herika side of

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the family. But it was good. Can't complained. The family

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: stayed in town. They were gonna leave, so it was

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: nice to keep tradition going. And uh yeah, thankful for

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: another day. Another Seahawk Preview edition, Week thirteen. Let's get it.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: Let's go big game this week. Now, big game this week.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: We'll just jump right into. We've got some injury updates

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: a little later edition of Hawk Talk this week after

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: with the Thanksgiving holiday, But Pete Carroll did step to

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: the podium this week gave it up date on Tyler Locket.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Locket, as we know, hasn't really been one hundred percent.

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: He had to stay back in San Francisco for a

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: couple of days in the hospital. They got his leg right.

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: He did play against the Eagles, but this is a

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: pizza update. On Tyler, it was really good now it

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: was It wasn't you know me, it wasn't maybe one

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent, you know, even though he could run and

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: play and all that. He just feels better now. So, um,

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take all the way to Monday

45
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: to really kind of put it in the review mirror.

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: But he's in good shape. He looked really good today.

47
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: Outside of Tyler, we also got Luke Wilson. He's been

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: dealing with a hamstring. He's been out for a couple

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: of weeks. But Luke, as Pete always talks about incredible healer.

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Uh I really sure what that means, but he plays

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: through injuries that other people haven't been able to come

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: back from. And this is Pete's update on him. Luke

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: is trying to pull pull it off now. He's he's

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: he is as aggressively approaching it as you can do it,

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, he's gonna trying to prove that

56
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: he can play this week. So we'll see how it goes.

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Trainers are trying to hold him back and you know,

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: going too far too soon, but that's how Luke does it.

59
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: And Luke has been remarkable over the over the years

60
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: and so I wouldn't count him out, and then of

61
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: course i'd be your miss. I didn't talk about Javian Clowney,

62
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: who would turn in one of the best performances we've

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: ever seen from a defensive lineman against the Niners. Was

64
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: unable to play against the Eagles, but Pete Carroll's still

65
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: pretty optimistic that he's gonna be given a go this

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: Monday night. Count on him getting back, you know, well,

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: yeah we are. We've counting on him getting back, but

68
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: he's still got to make it. So let's twinge of

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: optimis in there again, you know that. But he feels

70
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: good about it. He wants to go and he's gonna

71
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: try to make it good news out of that. And lastly,

72
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: Jaron Reid kind of got twisted up dealing with an

73
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: ankle issue. He's been determined to practice this week and

74
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: he really wants to play, so but we're probably gonna

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: to take that up to game time of Monday night,

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: so hopefully our guy Jay Red will be back there

77
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: to keep helping that defensive line. The Vikings the Week

78
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: thirteen opponent. They were on the buy last week, so

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: they didn't play a game, so we'll jump right into

80
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: key matchups. Key matches, there's no recab. The Vikings were

81
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: at home chilling while the Seahawks were grinded it out.

82
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: So first key matchup, we gotta go with Kirk Cousins

83
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: versus Seahawk defense. Cousins. The last seven games, he's throwing

84
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: for over two thousand yards, eighteen touchdowns, one interception in

85
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the seventy three percent completion rate. This guy is low keyballing.

86
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Like I've been one of the guys who like who've

87
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of hated on a bit because he hasn't won

88
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the big game, and he still hasn't won too many

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: big games. He played well against Denver beat the Cowboys,

90
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: but you look at his numbers and he looks like

91
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a pro bowler. The numbers don't like because the biggest

92
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: knock on Kirk was he does not beat teams with

93
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: above five record. Yeah, he's been able to do that

94
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: a couple of times this season, and from you talk

95
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: to anyone, whether it's the Vikings or people that watch him,

96
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: everyone's pretty much a consensus that he's playing the best

97
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: he's ever played in his career. Overall this season, Cousin

98
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: leaves the NFL with a passer rating of one fourteen,

99
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: while Russell Wilson has a one twelve passer rating. I

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: wonder out how those Viking fans feel about that. You know,

101
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: all that talk about rusting MVP. There has to be

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: some chatter Minnesota about Cousins being an MVP Kennedy, right, Oh, yeah,

103
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: I've been doing some research in Minnesota, and they're feeling

104
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: a little jit man. They're feeling like their guy Kirk

105
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: isn't getting enough love. But it's definitely going to come

106
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: down to Monday night and we'll really get to see. Yes, sir,

107
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: Cousins been really good with the playgustion pass. He's has

108
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: twelve touchdown passes off the plaquestion pass. When you have

109
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: a running back like Cook, which we'll talk about later,

110
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna help your play as in situation. Cousin has

111
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: also been sacked twenty two times this season. Twenty two times.

112
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: That means that this defensive line needs to get after

113
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: this guy. Oh, you absolutely have to, and he's not

114
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: He's the guy that's that's mobile. But it's not a

115
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson by any stretch of the imagination or anyone

116
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: like that. So twenty two is actually good for them

117
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: because he's trying to get the ball out quicker. But

118
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: if you're if you're the Seahawks defensive line, you're looking

119
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: your chops, looking your chops. Assistant head coach Gary Kobya

120
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: believes that Cousin is buying into their system and as

121
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback, if you're not bought into the system, your

122
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: chances of being successful they just go down. The Russell's

123
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: bought in. Dak has bought it. Even though they've been

124
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: struggling a bit. All these top notch quarterbacks believe in

125
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: their system. They believe in their quarterbacks, and it looks

126
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: like Cousins body in Minnesota. Yeah, I mean, like you said,

127
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the numbers don't lie. Twenty one touchdown, three interceptions. He's

128
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball, getting out fast, and they

129
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: got weapons down. Yes, they do. A weapon that we

130
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: need to look after is Dalvin Cook versus Seahawk front seven.

131
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Cook has emerged of one of the best running backs

132
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, raking third in the league with a

133
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen rushing yards and eleven touchdowns. It's almost

134
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: like this guy came out of nowhere, Like you knew

135
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: there was talent there, but he's really starting to put

136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: it together this year. He's been solid, but he looked

137
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: the numbers. You know, he rushed for like five hundred

138
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: or six hundred first couple of years, and out of nowhere,

139
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: it's like a light switch one on. They're just gelling offensively,

140
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: and he is a problem. He's a problem. He will

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: also catch the football forty five receptions for four hundred

142
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: and fifty five yards. And when they talk about Dalvin Cook,

143
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: they talk about his vision, how he can set up blocks.

144
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: And as a running back, you're kind of like two

145
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: moves ahead, you know, you're setting up blocks for the

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: next one. So I like what this guy does. He

147
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: does have great vision, he can catch the football. He's

148
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: emerging to be one of the best all around backs

149
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Absolutely. And the crazy thing is you

150
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: just mentioned all his stats. He's coming off the worst

151
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: game of the season against Denver. He had held the

152
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty six yards on eleven carries and that was the game.

153
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: The Vikings were down twenty to nothing. So obviously I

154
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: would like that to continue for at least another week.

155
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: Let's pray for a bad game from Dalvin Cook and

156
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: the Seahouse. Our tenth best against the rush, allowing a

157
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: hundred excuse me, one, one hundred and one yards per game.

158
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: So it's set up, man, these guys got to prove it.

159
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Stop Cook, put pressure, Put pressure on the Cousins and

160
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: they'll be all right. Another matchup Chris Carson and Rashad

161
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Penny versus the Vikings Front seven. I like that we

162
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: are now talking about Rashad Penny. I love Chris Carson.

163
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: He's a baller, he's our horse, he's a guy we're

164
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna go to. But when you can throw on a guy,

165
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: a young gun like Rashad Penny in the mix, that's

166
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: more for these defenses to prepare for. Oh, when Rashad's

167
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: is doing everything he needs to do, Like against the

168
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, he only played like three or you know,

169
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: three snaps and on one of those he fumbled. That's

170
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: really easy to get down in your confidence and kind

171
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: of shut it down. But he stayed with it, came

172
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: out and we showed what we can do. We've seen

173
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: glimpse of this, but against the Eagles, you saw that

174
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: speed in that twitch that's just different from Chris. So

175
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: it's a good one two punch between them. Ray one

176
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: two punch. Despite on the rushing for twenty six yards

177
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: on eight carres last week, Carson is still never ad

178
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: an NFL and rushing at eight hundred and seventy nine

179
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: yards it we'll be nice see him break the a

180
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: thousand yard mark on Monday night. That would be sweet.

181
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: If he breaks the one thousand yard mark, we're this

182
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: football game, oh no question about it. If you can

183
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: get after their their run defense, it just like we'll

184
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: talk about it the stery stinggy ninety four yards loud.

185
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: They're the sixth best rushing defense in the league. So

186
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: if we can get if we can get over hundred

187
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: yards from Chris Carston, we're definitely winning that game. Yep.

188
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Get over one hundred and get what you can from Penny.

189
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: Last week he had one hundred and twenty nine yards

190
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: on fourteen carras. That's a nine point two average per carry.

191
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: I'll take that all day. And he had a career

192
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: long of fifty eight yard rushing the fourth quarter and

193
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: a TV that kind of to seal the deal. He

194
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: saw that go down one. It's nice c number twenty

195
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: du it. Then you bust up a fifty eight yard

196
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: or we're feeling really good at that point in the game. Yeah, no,

197
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: it kind of sealed it. And it's just it's great,

198
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: like I said, to see him kind of take over.

199
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: Chris was having a tough day and I'm not exactly

200
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: sure what was going on, but when Penny was on

201
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: the field and he had the ball in his hands,

202
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: he was making place. Yes, sir. The next matchup the

203
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: Vikings wide receivering Corps versus Seahawks secondary. Now, these Vikings

204
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: have a very talented receiver group. They got Stefan Digs

205
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: forty six perceptions, eight hundred and eighty yards, five touchdowns.

206
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Then you have feel him, who's having a down year,

207
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: but he's been ballanced injuries, has twenty seven receptions for

208
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six yards and it's all because

209
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: of injury. If he comes back healthy on Monday, he's

210
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: ready to go. That's a great one two punch they

211
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: got over there. Yeah. I mean he's been hobbled with

212
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: a bad hamstring the last couple of games, but you

213
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: look back to twenty eighteen, he was absolutely barring out

214
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen receptions, thirteen hundred yards, nine touchdowns,

215
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: and for a guy his size, that's the crazy they'll

216
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: move him inside and he's a matchup nightmare. So while

217
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: we're talking to the Seahawks secondary, Akeem King stepped out

218
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: there in a lot of the nickel situations last week.

219
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: I look to see that again. He's a bigger guy,

220
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: kind of help with those slot matchups. Yes, sir, the

221
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: Seahows secondary and the last two weeks has intercepted three passes.

222
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: Three passes that goes and that's that's a big deal

223
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: for them. Earlier in the season they were the question mark,

224
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: how is this how is this group going to perform?

225
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: And for the last two weeks, man, they've been balling out.

226
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, may plays, Shaquille Griffin his ranked top five

227
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: in the league as far as a pass breakers with thirteen.

228
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I believe McDougall the og, the bag, holding it down, dethrowing.

229
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: I call him the pitbull. Quandre Diggs. I love what

230
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: the secondary is doing right now. Well, the two safeties,

231
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: which is great with Quandri came and you can tell

232
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: it just kind of sured stuff up. And Bradley won't

233
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: tell you this because he's such a good team guy

234
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: and will do whatever this team asks you to do.

235
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: But it's got to be nice to be like listen,

236
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm know him in the box. I'm playing strong safety.

237
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't have to learn both positions constantly. I can

238
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: just do what I do and then showing him with

239
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: his play, Yeah, sir. Next matchup the Seahawks ride receiver

240
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: versus the Viking. Second. There, the Vikings struggled in pass defense.

241
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: Through eleven games, They've allowed forty pass plays of twenty

242
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: yards or longer, which ranks twenty first in the league.

243
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: So that tells me DK is gonna make a big play.

244
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon can make a big play. Locket can make

245
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: a big play. Russell Wilson throws the best deep ball

246
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: in the game. Let's see it again on Monday. Oh,

247
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: someone's got to give Russell's among the league leaders in

248
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: explosive plays. That that's their weakness, right, he has forty

249
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: three of them. Okay, so he can as you said,

250
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: he can get the ball down field. He's the best

251
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: deep ball in the league. DK came off a tough

252
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: game for him. I know the win was swirling. He'll

253
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: tell you he should have caught those balls. So I'm

254
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: looking for him to have a big game. And if

255
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Locket's back to one hundred. It should be a problem

256
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: out there. Yes, so it should be a problem, all right.

257
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna go to the way too early

258
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: playoff picture. But that's what we do and we love

259
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: for us to do it. It's all right obviously the

260
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: division leaders. You got the Niners, the Saint So I

261
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: was hoping took an l against atl last night but

262
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: didn't happen. The Packers in the six and six Cowboys,

263
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: how about that NFC east Man Man. Every week, it

264
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: just looks like no one wants to win it. Yeah,

265
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's every there. Everyone is still on the hunting.

266
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: That the mean between the Eagles and Cowboys, they're gonna

267
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: go back and forth. That's gonna be tough. But the Seahawks,

268
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to them and just taking care

269
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: of business because the last three weeks there's been multiple

270
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: chances for us to get some help, just to get

271
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: some help, and it just hasn't happened. So the Seahawks

272
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: are really just gonna have take care of business. But

273
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: the one game I'm every Seahawks fans should have absolutely

274
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: circled an underline on your calendar is Sunday Niners at

275
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I want to see if this forty nine

276
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: er defenses. I know they're real. They make some plays,

277
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: they play with intensity, but can you stop the hottest

278
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: player in the league right now? And performer gets an

279
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: offense that you don't see every week. You'll see this

280
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: offense once a year. I want to see what they do.

281
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: No And yeah, like you said, well, Mars Jackson last

282
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: Monday night against the Rams, that was one of the

283
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: most crazy performances I've ever seen. It looked like the

284
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: Rams shouldn't even been on the field with them. He

285
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: is playing at such a high level. And like you said,

286
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna learn about them. It's a tough it's a

287
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: road environment. A guy that you never see for are

288
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: a guy that's balling out. We'll see their coaching staff

289
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: is up to the challenge. And if the Seahawks are

290
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: gonna get any kind of help, it's coming this weekend.

291
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: It's coming this weekend. And if they don't get help,

292
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: you just do what the heck you do. Win ball games,

293
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: ball out on a Monday night. The Hawks typically don't

294
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: lose these games, and they're right home, and I think

295
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: it's a good challenge. Man. The Hawks got to get

296
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: back to winning at home. Yep, you know, undefeating on

297
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: the road, which is great. You hope to split the

298
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: role games, but at home, you gotta take care of home.

299
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I believe they're gonna do on Monday

300
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: against these Minnesota Vikings. Yeah. Man. And the other thing

301
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: when you look at the schedule, just kind of the Packers,

302
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: they gotta I don't want to see easy even think

303
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: of the Giant Skins, Bears, Vikings and Lions. So the Packers,

304
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: we saw them against the forty nine ers last Monday night,

305
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: and now they showed that they might be a step back.

306
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: And you just kind of look at this the Niners,

307
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: like we mentioned the Ravens, they got the Saints and

308
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Fong that's gonna be a huge game. They got the

309
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: Falcons who are playing better. They got the Rams in us.

310
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: So it's gonna come down New It's gonna come down

311
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: like you said, us taking care of business one week

312
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: at a time. Let's beat these Vikings. The only thing

313
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: to happen in terms of the playoffs scenarios heading in

314
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: this weekend is the Saints Juan so they clinch and

315
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: NFC South Division title and the Niners can clinch a

316
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: playoff Berth, not a division title playoff Berth that they

317
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: win and the Rams loose. So we'll see. Obviously we're

318
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: gonna be big Ravens fans, Big Ravens, Gold Ravens. Go Earl,

319
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: do your thing, baby, all right, the passive victory. Control

320
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: the Vikings weapons. They are incredibly talent. You got Cousins,

321
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: you got Digs, you got Cuss Gott Theeling, you got

322
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, who hasn't been playing to the level that

323
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: we're used to, but he's still a threat. He has

324
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: to scored a touchdown, I believe, since Week five, so

325
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: he's down a bit. But you can't sleep on that

326
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: man because he is an NFL and he's still a baller. Yeah,

327
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: you got to destroy the explosive place. Any defense wants

328
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: to do that. They have guys on paper, They have

329
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: guys in every single position that can hurt you. So

330
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: you just gotta take care of the big plays and

331
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: keep those guys in control. Speaking to take care, let's

332
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: take care of that football, baby, Let's not fumble the ball.

333
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: We have way too many turnovers. This football team is

334
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: too good and too responsible to put the ball on

335
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: the ground like they have been. If I'm coach, I'm

336
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: not even mentioning turnovers. I'm just saying, hey, let's take

337
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: care of the rock. Do what you do, man, do

338
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: what you do. It's it's in their dna is to

339
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: take care of the football and take it away. We've

340
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: done too much of turning the ball over this year.

341
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: We're due to have that day where he put everything together,

342
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: when he's put the turnovers behind us. Another path of victory.

343
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: Find a way to run the ball. The Vikings have

344
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: a top run defense, but hasn't stopped us all year long.

345
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Why start now? They haven't stopped anybody. Let's not. Let's

346
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: let's not make Monday night in Seattle of the day

347
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: where they miraculously show up and stop us from rushing

348
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: for over a hundred yards. Gotta break the hunting mark

349
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: one hundred yard mark, and Chris Carson is gonna break

350
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: that thousand yard mark. Yeah, Chris is gonna bounce back

351
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: to have a big game. We've done it against, whether

352
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: it's the Niners, whether it's the Bucks. Now we got

353
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings, run them ball, that's what we do. Find

354
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. Hey, and now we

355
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: gotta keep causing turnovers cause having I like seeing Griffin

356
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: at that d N spot getting there. Hopefully Clowney is healthy.

357
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: If we gets in there, he'll cost him. Having Puna

358
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Ford do your thing. There's a lot of names on

359
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: that defensive line that can contribute to these turnovers. If

360
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: they get to the quarterback, if they stop the run,

361
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be easier on the back end. And Trey

362
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Flowers has shown that he's ready to ball. Griffins shows

363
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: he's ready to ball. Hey, It's gonna take a team

364
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: effort and I'm excited, ready to go. All right. That

365
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: has been Hawk Talk Preview edition, Week thirteen. The Seahawks

366
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: are playing the Vikings on a Monday night in Seattle.

367
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Should be great. It's been real. I'm your host, Michael

368
