1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus at the ten yard lives second to day

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: free wide receivers now in motion has Bumpus left to right,

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Julius Jones were single setback Matt pump Fecks looking at

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: the goal line. He throws it into the end zone. Touchdown.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpus with a diving catching the

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: end zone our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppus and

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: place on this team powered by Seahawks dot Com. What

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: a folks, This is Michael Bumpus and you're listening to

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: the Hot Talk preview edition of Week six team the

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals. Like I said, I'm Bumpus.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm here with my guy Nasa Choby. But before we

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: get into it, here is your injury update. Thanks Michael.

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: The injury reports a rough looking one for the Seahawks,

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: with lots of guys banged up on defense. Be Carroll

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: stepped to the podium as he does each in every week,

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: and it looks like we're not going to know anything

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: definitively on Jadeveon c Connie and Ziggyanza until game time,

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that. I don't know. We've gotta

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: get tough the week and see what happens here. They're

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: both gonna get work today and we'll just see as

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: we progress and see if it's if it's right for

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: those guys to play. I'm hoping we love to get

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: them both back, but I can't tell you right now.

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Michael Kendricks hit the practice field on Wednesday. Bobby Wagner

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: did not. Quandre Diggs is also a guy we're gonna

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: have to wait and see on. So essentially, long story short,

29
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have lots of guys on the injury report,

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: and most of them will come down to game time decisions.

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, Michael, Like you mentioned, let's top into the

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: Week sixteen opponent, the Arizona Cardinals. By the way, I

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: still can't believe we're talking about Week sixteen already. The

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: season is flying by. But the Cardinals, they beat up

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: on the Browns thirty eight to twenty four second and

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: go on the six three receivers left, two to the right,

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Murray and shotgun thirty one seconds to go and a half.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Murray back to pass as time floats its right side

39
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone and it is caught. Touchdown

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: dan Arnold. But Cardinals really like him. They got him

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: off waivers from the Saints. The former undrafted player out

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin Platfill where his first catch as a Cardinal

43
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. What do you say we go ahead

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: and take the six six tight end dan Arnold. We'll

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: put him on the corner route and let him shot

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: shot up in the back of the end zone with

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: a little pitter pattern. All right, So that's that's Ron

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: Wolf in the back end of the call. We'll talk

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: to him on the pregame show. One of the better

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: color analysts in the league for the Cardinals. Another quick

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: shout out. The guy who caught that touchdown pass for

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is undrafted. I gotta show some love to

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a D three kid undrafted out of u Platville getting

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: in the end zone. So good for you. Gotta promote

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: some little small college athletics. But Michael, what do we

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: see from the Cardinals last week? What we saw was

57
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: two Heisman Trophy winners go at him and Kyla Murray

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: got the best of Baker Mayfield. If I'm Baker Mayfield,

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: I gotta feel some type of way about it. You're

60
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: not having the season that you thought you'd have. You

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: have all of these weapons. Miles Garrett has gone, you

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: got a rookie head coach. He doesn't seem like he

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And then the little brother comes

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: in and he beats you. No. They did a little

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: jersey swap at the end, and it was funny because

66
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: Carlin walks up. He's like, man, I got bag and Wise,

67
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: I got Brady Ray and he's like, man, I hate you.

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: The Cardinals snap a six game losing streets. Cardinals running

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: back Kenyan Drake stole the show, rushing for a one

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards and four touchdowns. This might

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: have been the acquisition of the year for these guys,

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: especially with the way David Johnson has been playing. To

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: pick up Drake and to have him take over, it's

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: been nice for the offense to keep them going. Yeah. No,

75
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: he has been an absolute stud for him and you

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: feel good for him personally to get a w because

77
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: before last week he had not won a game this

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: year in the NFL. Played with the Dolphins and now

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: the sixth game louting seat were the Cardinals, but he

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: was definitely getting after last week. And the Cardinals keep

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: taking time off the clock. Seven and a half to go,

82
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: they lead by eleven second and one. At the seventeen

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: they run Drake right side fifteen ten five four touchdown

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: for Kenyan Drake and maybe puts this game away. Thirty

85
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: four to seventeen. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Browns

86
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: could not take even one more flat shovel to the face.

87
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I love it. I love that dude. The Browns can

88
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: take one more flat shovel to the face. Can't can't

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: wait to talk to that guy. Kyler Murray played well

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty five two hundred nineteen yards and one touchdown.

91
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Also had eight carriages for fifty six yards on the ground.

92
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: It seems like he's trying his best to keep this

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: team a flow. He's doing it with his legs, he's

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: doing it with his arms. In a few years, I

95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: feel like this team will be a little better. Damere

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Bird led all receivers with six receptions eighty six yards.

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: The final score was thirty eight to twenty four, but

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: it was really thirty eight seven team before the Browns

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: score him and laid garbage time. Good for the Cardinals. Yeah,

100
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: but reality is you're coming up here and you're gonna

101
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: get smacked. Good good story for you, guys. But that's

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: all I wish for you is for you to beat

103
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: the Browns. When you come up here. You gotta play

104
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: these twelves, and I think they're gonna get it down. Yeah,

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I hope, so, man. I think it was good to

106
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: see last year we finally snapped a streak of for

107
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the Cardinal success at Century Link Field. I

108
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: think we build off that last year and build off

109
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: the first win earlier this year that was one of

110
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: only a couple of victories the Seahawks have had that

111
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: were more than one score game. So hoping to build

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: off on that. Yes, sir, Who're gonna move into the

113
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: key matchups. The first matchup you gotta highlight Kyler Murray

114
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: versus Seahawk defense. Like I mentioned earlier, he's having a

115
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: pretty good season. Three hundred three two hundred and seventy

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: nine yards, seventeen touchdowns and ten interceptions. And don't forget

117
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: he has five hundred four rushing yards, four touchdowns and

118
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: leads the team in rushing. It's not a great thing

119
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: when your team leads your QB leads a team in rushing,

120
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: unless your name is Lamar Jackson and you're playing that

121
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Raven's offense and I spread offense where you want to

122
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: throw that football around. It's not a good sign that

123
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: your quarterback is leading the team in Russia. No, it's not.

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: And it speaks, like you said, injuries that position. Drake

125
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: came in AND's helping a little bit there, but it

126
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: kind of it just goes to show you that they're

127
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: not running the ball they want to. But Kylin Murray

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: is dangerous with us. He's dangerous with his feet, he's

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: dangerous with his arm. He's just a playmaker. Yeah, and

130
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: that five hundred and four yards are coming from scrambles.

131
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they designed too many plays for this

132
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: guy to rim. He's the first QB Cardinals history three

133
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: thousand pass yards and five hundred rushing yards in the season.

134
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: So good for him already breaking records. Given the team

135
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: around him, I would really be impressed if I were

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: a Cardinals fan. If I am an Arizona Cardinals fan,

137
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and you see the future in Colin Murray, you see

138
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 1: the weapons that he has around him, and he's making

139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: things happen. The future is looking bright for this organization. Yeah, no,

140
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I'd be incredibly impressed. I mean just from like when

141
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: you watch him play, just kind of his demeanor and

142
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: the way he carries himself and he's just composure. Obviously,

143
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: it's been a really tough season. He's used to being

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the super successful the man just won the Heisman Trophy,

145
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: got to college football playoff the last year. So this

146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: is see him handle himself as a Rookie's definitely encouraging

147
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: for a Cardinals perspective. For us, he's threat number one.

148
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: He's the one that's most dangerous for the ball in

149
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: his hand. So that'll be the key matchup for the

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: Seahawks so far. Gotta get after him. The next key

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: matchup Larry Fitz and Christian Kirk versus Seahawks secondary Larry

152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: fitz Man. I was just thinking about it on the

153
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: walk up here. Eighties. Babies are dying in the NFL.

154
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: We're almost out this thing, and guys like Larry Fitz

155
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: make me happy. He's thirty six years old. He has

156
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: sixty seven receptions, seven hundred yards and three touchdowns. He's

157
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: whooping Father Time's but right, hey man, father Time. Like

158
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: I said, he's undefeated, everyone knows that, but he's giving

159
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: it the best run for his money I've ever seen

160
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: at that position. Also, Chris and Kirk is having himself

161
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: a nice season with sixty one receptions, six hundred forty

162
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: nine yards and three touchdowns. Another weapon to look after. Obviously,

163
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna focus on Murray fits Drake, but you cannot

164
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: sleep on Kirk as well. He can get it done. Yeah, No,

165
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Spen. He's put him nice little numbers there, and

166
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: they don't have well on paper, the Cardinals don't look

167
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: like they have a ton of weapons, but they still

168
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: have guys that can make plays. And anytime he mix

169
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: into Kyler Murray that can make plays with his feet

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and get out of the pocket or from the pocket,

171
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: every guy's a weapon on that offense, Yes, sir. Next matchup,

172
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake versus Seahawk Fronts seven. Drake is coming off

173
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: his best performance after ran for one hundred and thirty

174
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: seven yards and four touchdowns and snapped his fourteen game

175
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: losing streak. Good for you, good performance, but we gotta

176
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: look after this guy. He has big playability, and he

177
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: can also catch the football. I think that's a part

178
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: of his game that's a little underrated. Yeah, no, he's

179
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned the sixty seven carries four and

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: seventeen yards. I mean he hadn't been getting in the

181
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: end zone munch. Most of the damage was done against

182
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the Browns last week. But he's still their best threat.

183
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: And the Seahawks have played a lot of good running

184
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: backs that kind of fit that mold. So they're gonna

185
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 1: have to kind of pick up some of the lessons

186
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: they learned when they played a Todd Gurley and guys

187
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: like that to kind of help as a dual threat,

188
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: and especially after playing Christian McCaffrey last week, that's a

189
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: great preparation for this matchup. Great prep doesn't get too

190
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: much better than McCaffrey. Man, don't, Drake, you're a baller,

191
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: but we saw a guy do it last week. So

192
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: hopefully that prepare this Hawks defense the next matchup. Seahawks

193
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: offense first to Cardinals defense. By the numbers, the Cardinals

194
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: have the worst defense in the NFL. They give up

195
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: four hundred thirteen yards per game. So Russell's gonna throw

196
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: for his what two six sixty maybe two seventy and

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: then get that run game going back up to about

198
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: one fifty six to one seventy five and we should

199
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: have a nice day. That's what you look at, and

200
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: it sounds really generic when you say it. Obviously, Seahawks

201
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: offense first, Cardinals defense, That seems generic. But the numbers

202
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: when you look at them are overwhelming. I mean, when

203
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: it comes to past defense, they're giving up two hundred

204
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: and niney yards to the air, which is also the

205
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: worst in the NFL. They don't stop the run grade,

206
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: they're giving up one hundred and twenty rush yards per game.

207
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: They're thirty the league in points per game, allowing twenty

208
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: eight per game. So just looking at the numbers and

209
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: then Mike Bump, you can talk to this. The Seahawks

210
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: are pretty good on offense. Now, right, Yeah, Seahawks are

211
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: good on offense. You flip it over to have the

212
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: fourth ranked offense in the league averaging three hundred eighty

213
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: seven yards per game, and they have the tenth best

214
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: passing offense averaging two hundred and eighty seven yards per game. Also,

215
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have the third best rushing attack in their NFL,

216
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred forty one yards per game. So what

217
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: we're saying is the offense should have another day and

218
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: lead this team to victory. I think so, I think

219
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get behind those weapons. The Cardinals haven't shown

220
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: that they can do a great job of in any

221
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: of those phases on defense, so I would look like

222
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: you said, Russell Wilson to have another big day. We

223
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: mentioned we know Tyler Lockett had a huge game last week.

224
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: DK has been playing well, so there's a lot of

225
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: weapons on offense that should have another big week. And

226
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Chris Carson again over a thousand yards for a second

227
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: year in a row. So I'm looking for I'm looking

228
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: for some big time numbers from everyone on offense next week.

229
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I wonder what the what the record is how many

230
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: times have the Hawks had consecutive games with opening drives

231
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: for touchdowns? Not a ton Man, because even the last

232
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: couple of years, before last year, there was a really

233
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: long stretch when the Seahawks didn't went like six seventy

234
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: or eighty games without scoring a touchdown in the first drive.

235
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: It's been a lot better of late, but I if

236
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: it was ever gonna happen two weeks in a row bump.

237
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: I think this is a week let's do it. So

238
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: now let's look at the NFC playoff pitcher. I'm looking

239
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: at this chart right here, Nason. It makes me happy.

240
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: You know why it makes me happy? Now? Why doesn't

241
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: make it happy? Because I see the Seahawks on top

242
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: of the division, sitting at eleven and three right now.

243
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: Have they have the number one seed? Things have to

244
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: happen in the next couple of weeks. But on paper,

245
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: these guys are on top at eleven and three. The

246
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Packers lead their division at eleven three as well, and

247
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: the Saints lead their division at eleven and three, and

248
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: then there's a Cowboys at seven and seven. The hey, man,

249
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: if they win this week, they're in. So I'll just

250
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: kind of jump into some playoffs scenarios. It's a lot

251
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: of It's locked up in the AFC. The Ravens are

252
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: the AFC North Division champs. Chiefs are the West champs.

253
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: The Patriots clinch playoff earth as the excuse me, the

254
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Bills did as well. In the AFC. The Ravens can

255
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: lock down home field advantage throughout the playoffs to the

256
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: win this weekend. But what you guys are most concerned

257
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: about is the NFC. The Seahawks right now, as you

258
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: mentioned that, the number one seed in the NFC, and

259
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the reason is because they hold the tiebreaker advantage. They

260
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: have a tiebreaker over Green Bay based on the best

261
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: win percentage in common games. They win the tiebreaker over

262
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: New Orleans based on the best win percentage in conference games,

263
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: and they have the tiebreaker over the forty nine Ers

264
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: because they beat them early in November. Now for this week,

265
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: specifically this Sunday, the Seahawks can't clinch anything. They cannot

266
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: even if they win in the forty nine Ers lose,

267
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: they cannot clinch the NFC West. So it's still gonna

268
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,119
Speaker 1: come down to that showdown against the Rams in week seventeen.

269
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, it gets I could go for days

270
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: because it gets really messy. I mean, if if there's

271
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: a loss, I mean, the tie breakers are head to head,

272
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: then divisional record, then road against record against common opponents,

273
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: and then strength of victory. Then you get down a

274
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: messy road. Here's the deal. You win two games, you

275
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: win the NFC West, and you hope things fall your

276
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: way and you get the one seed. That's that's pretty

277
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: much all you need to know, Seahawk fans, they can't

278
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: clinch the NFC West this weekend, even with the forty

279
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: nine ers loss. But they just gotta win out. They

280
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: just gotta win their games. If they take care of

281
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: that on the field, they're not gonna have to worry

282
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: about any of that other stuff. See, folks, this is

283
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: one of the many reasons why Natz is here, because

284
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: my brain does not work like that. He said, all

285
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: this stuff, do this, then that, then this. I'm like, okay,

286
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, what happened. Just gotta win. There

287
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: we go. He'll explain it for you people. I'll just

288
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: st us sit here and act like I know he's

289
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: talking about. All right, So here are the path. Here

290
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: is the past of victory for the Seattle Seahawks. You

291
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: gotta build off the Carolina game. We saw the offense

292
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: find his groove. Tyler Lockett got back involved. They were

293
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: big plays. DK Man a big play. Carson rushed for

294
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three. It was just nice to

295
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: see this offense get in sync. They did it on

296
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: the road to finish the season seven and one on

297
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: the road. Now let's come back home and take care

298
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: of the house. You gotta keep finding Tyler Locket. He

299
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: had a great game last week. I knew he was

300
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: healthy when he caught that football over the shoulder in

301
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, and he looks strong. In

302
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, he's had injuries, he's been sick,

303
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: so he finally looks like he's getting back into the

304
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: groove of things. Yeah. No, but you mentioned it right away,

305
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: like the way he ran as routes, and you can

306
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: just tell, man, when you people kind of underestimated to

307
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: hear flu and like, Okay, these guys will get over it.

308
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: That takes over your whole body. I mean, he lost

309
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: about ten pounds, he said post game last week. So

310
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: he's looking like he's back to where he wants to be.

311
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: And when Tyler Lockett is at the top of his game,

312
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: between him, there's no better connection than Russell Wilson and Lockett.

313
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: And when he's firing on all cylinders, our offense is

314
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. Yep, one of

315
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: the best in the league. Also, I mentioned you gotta

316
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: get Chris Carson a ball coming off a great game

317
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: last week, and now I'd like to see a little

318
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: more pro sie and a little more Homer. We did

319
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: see pro Sie. I believe he had five carries. Homer

320
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: had two carries for seven yards. I love Homer Man.

321
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: We talked about his explosiveness. His explosive got him in

322
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble. He's down there on the line,

323
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: wants a boom. I get it. I think now that

324
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: he's gotten some reps, they'll slow down a little bit

325
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: with that first step and kind of take a Chris

326
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: Carson type approach. But if he can get into that

327
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: second third level, bye bye, he's gone. Oh yeah, he's

328
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: got that breakaway straight away speeding. It'll be good just

329
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: to see we know what Chris can do. We know

330
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Chris is a Polish guy. You know exactly what you

331
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: can get from him. It'd be good to see a

332
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: little bit more from pro Sie in Homer, just so

333
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: they can get their confidence up and because at some

334
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: point this year, your number is gonna be called. Don't

335
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: know when it's gonna be, but they're gonna need you

336
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: to make a play. So it'd be nice to see

337
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: them kind of get role this week. If the Hawks

338
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: are up, say twenty one points in the fourth quarter,

339
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: do you see a Pete Carroll offense, taking some starters

340
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: out and putting guys like Homer in and maybe malikue

341
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: Turner on the outside. I don't know, man, I think

342
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: they kind of If I were to see anything, I

343
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: think you'd see at the running back position. I think

344
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: everyone else will say, but I think they'll want to

345
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: get pro syson Homer and those guys going another path victory.

346
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: You gotta contain Kyler Murray. He has a lot of

347
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: big playability. Don't let him beat you with his legs.

348
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: That's where things get tricky. That's why this offense is

349
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: tricky because Russell kind of gives the illusion he's gonna

350
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: beat you with his legs, when really he's looking down

351
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: field for a bob. This kid, he's looking to take

352
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: it to the house with his legs. He has ability

353
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: to throw the full ball as well, but he's young man.

354
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: He's got that young burst to him. If he has

355
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity, he's gonna try to make a big play.

356
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: Gotta contain this young man, last, but not least, take

357
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: care of business and show up and win this ball game.

358
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: So there's a playoff game in week seventeen against the

359
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: forty nine ers at home for the Division title the Hawks.

360
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: You set yourself up, fought adversity, put yourself in great position.

361
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: Now let's see the deal and do what it is

362
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: they do. It's morel It's Michael Bump is aligned with

363
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: my producer, my guy, Nasa Choby. That's a Hawk. TIUR

364
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: Preview Week sixteen, Have a go one
