1 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Thursday night. If you're not watching Thursday night football, you 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 1: should be listening to myself and Paul Murray here on 3 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: Hot Slive every Thursday. Seven to nine. The Seahawks took 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: an l to the Green Bay Packers seventeen to zero. 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: They dropped to three and six to Packers are eight 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: and two. Not the game that you wanted to see 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: out of Russell Wilson on his return. This guy was 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: twenty to forty through zero touchdowns two interceptions. Rushing the football, 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: the Hawks had sixteen carries for seventy five yards. But 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: on the positive side, defensively, they held Aaron Rodgers twenty 11 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: three to thirty seven. Twenty three up thirty seven, one interception, 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: did not get inside the end zone. Davante Adams had 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: seven for seventy eight, so there are some positives to 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: build off of this. That was a huge game for 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. The defense held the Packers to three points 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: going into halftime, zero points in the third quarter. The 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: fourth quarter they got things going. It seems like this 18 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: offense was not able to create long drives and just 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: touch the end zone one time. Yeah, obviously frustrating. By 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: the way, you can do both. You can listen to 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: us and watch the game, just like I'm doing listening 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: to you and watching the game. I think the frustrating 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: part is the defense is finally turned it around. I 24 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: mean when I say finally, we were waiting for Sunday 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: to see to quantify that, yes, they're good defense, because 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: we had played well the last three or four weeks, 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: but we're yeah, maybe that quarterback is not that good 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: or the offense isn't that good. We knew the Packers were, 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: obviously with Aaron Rodgers, one of the best in the game. 30 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: So that's frustrating because the offense that's the worst. Well, 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: I haven't been shut out since I can't remember, and 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: having to Russell be a little rusty. Sure, that's somewhat expected. 33 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: What I didn't expect was us to revert back to 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: kind of last year where not really trying to run it. 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: In part that is we couldn't get anything going. We 36 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: only had like fifteen plays the first half, so that 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: kills your game plan right there. But the offensive line 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: really struggled. I felt Russell went back to that I'm 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: looking downfield, I'm looking for the big play all the time. 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: I will say this, Green Bay locked us up too. 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: There were times where I'm like, hey, guys, yeah, you 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: all gotta do something. We got you gotta get away 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: from your guy, you gotta get a good release. There 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: were times that Russell got some heat and there's no 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: one to throw to, but there's still checkdowns. And that 46 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: was the frustrating part where he just I'm looking. I'm looking, 47 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: It's not there, Boom, drop it down. The farther the 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: longer he holds it in a zone, the farther that 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the underneath coverage gets defensively, and the bigger those checkdowns are. 50 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: And that's again, I thought they corrected that a little 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: bit last year. It's just rusty disappointed by the offense. Obviously. Yeah, 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Russell felt like he needed to 53 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: win this game for his team. He goes, look, I've 54 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: been out three weeks, four weeks if you include the Bube. 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: We're going into Green Bay having won there since nineteen 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: ninety nine. That's ten straight these guys have lost. He's thinking, 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: I gotta go out there and I gotta put this 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: team on my shoulders and make the play. That's why 59 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: he forces it to DK and the end zone. That's 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: why he forces it to lock it deep where there's 61 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: two safeties smothering him. He felt like he needed to 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: make the play, and for the first time I heard 63 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Russell step up to the podium and own all of that. 64 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: Like I was waiting, I'm sitting here and we're both 65 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: sitting there. We're like, look, how is he gonna handle 66 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: this situation? Is it gonna be this the generic? Hey 67 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: will be Okay, I gotta We're gonna move on. We're 68 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: gonna create things. He goes, Nah, that's on me. I 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: got to own it. I need to make better decisions. 70 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: It comes down to two plays. Probably more than two 71 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: plays in that game. You know more. You're you're known 72 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: for picking up four to five plays, but those were 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: two big plays. So I appreciate him stepping up to 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: the podium and saying, look, hey, guys, that was on me. 75 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: So we know that last game was on him. So 76 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: now we're moving forward, because that's what you do in football. 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Week is over whip. Let's focus on who's coming up next. 78 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: That's the Arizona Cardinals. There are eight and two. They 79 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: won seven in a row before losing to the Packers, 80 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: beat the Niners, and then lost to the Panthers, but 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: they're missing Cala Murray, AJ GREENJJ playing that game, not 82 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: sure DeAndre Hopkins was out. They lose Chase during that game. 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: These Arizona Cardinals, I feel like every week we've kind 84 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: of looked for reason not to believe in them. It's 85 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, right, They're not going to do anything, But 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: there's no de nine the talents that they have. James 87 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Connor is a touchdown machine. He has eleven rushing touchdowns. 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: You got Christian Kirk with all the talent they have 89 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: in that receiving corps with DeAndre Hopkins, with AJ Green, 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk is leading the charge with forty seven catches 91 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: six hundred and three yards four touchdowns. Hopkins has thirty 92 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: five for four eighty seven seven touchdowns, AJ Green thirty 93 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: for four sixty and three touchdowns, and then Rondell Moore 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: has helped out as well with thirty six and one touchdown. 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: They got some weapons loaded. This defense has been playing well. 96 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna be tested again. Yeah, and their offensive line 97 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: is pretty good too. I mean, I used to be 98 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: a huge weakness of Arizona. They've they've showed that up 99 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: and have done a good job. Look when the season started, 100 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: I was watching in preseason, I wasn't worried about Arizona 101 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 1: because they looked the same to me. Kyler Murray looked 102 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the same to me. Well the regular season, he didn't 103 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: looked the same to me anymore, you know, And you 104 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: just look at the statistics. Now he's completing, you know, 105 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: seventy two percent of his pass is really let's round 106 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: it up to seventy three. As you mentioned, seventeen touchdowns, 107 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: seven interceptions a little bit high. But they're a complete team. 108 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I think Green Bay is still a 109 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: team that their defense is legit. And you've got Aaron 110 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Rodgers with all those weapons, and for what they did 111 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: going into Arizona and beat them without all their people, 112 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: to me, you've got to kind of grab that game 113 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: plan because Aaron Rodgers really willed that game. Not with 114 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: big time throws. He wasn't pushing about it was dink, 115 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: it was dunk. It was just let's just keep moving 116 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: to chains, let's just time of possession, let's play fuel 117 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: position battle. And I think one thing I wrote down 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: in my notes, we're analyzing what was wrong with the defense, 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: what's wrong with the offense? So their offense. Throw the 120 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: balls to their offense, run the balls to the offense, 121 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: play up tempo. So what we just gotta find what's 122 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: the best way to win a football game? And really, 123 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: the head coach, you sitting for the whole team, you say, 124 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: we're playing the Arizona Cardinals. Here's the best way for 125 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: us to win the game. And our game plan going 126 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: into this, We're going to run it. And they better 127 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: try to run it because they're thirty first in yards 128 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: per average defensively against the rush. It's kind of their 129 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: one weakness. Is everything else their top five defensively? What 130 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: is it? And you know, and there can't be any conflict. 131 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: Can't be oh, you know, we gotta let Russ cook. 132 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: It can't be. Oh we should be running more screen pass. 133 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: Oh we can. What is the best way to stink 134 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: and win this game? And is it to put it 135 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: on the defensive shoulder? Is it just to play field 136 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: position battles to try and actually win time of possession? 137 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, you know, I think 138 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: it is. I think it's smart football. It's all. It's 139 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: field position. It's running it on third and short. I 140 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: don't care if it's a. It's a if it's an 141 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: obvious rundown situation, it's throwing those check checkdowns that you mentioned. 142 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: It's just playing smart. I think when this offense is struggling, 143 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: you can't roll the dice that much. But thankfully this 144 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: defense is playing at a high level. They're gonna balue 145 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you out here and there. But this offense just needs 146 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: to put a bunch of plays together and move that 147 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: thing down the field and get the run game going. 148 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: It's been a while since we looked at this run 149 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: game and say, okay, they're good to go. I think 150 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: the last time was against the Steelers. Is that when 151 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: Alice Collins went for over one hundred yards, first time 152 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen the Hawks had a hundred yard rusher. 153 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: It comes down to a basic football. It comes down 154 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: to keeping it simple. Silly, keep it simple, kiss. It's 155 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: what we used to call it. Not silly, we called 156 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: it something else. But we don't want to get in 157 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: trouble here. So let me throw this at do not 158 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: take this wrong. And the reason why I was thinking about, 159 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: we just got how do we win the game? What's 160 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the best way to go in and win this game? 161 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: You know, again, sometimes to air it out sometimes to 162 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: run it. We've been on Shane. People have been on 163 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: Shane wald a lot of social media. We've gone through Bevil, 164 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: We've gone through Shoddy, We've got Shane Waldron. I'm tired 165 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: of hearing about offensive coordinators. They call the game, they 166 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: put the game plan in. At the end of the day, 167 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: it's the players to execute and win football games. We do. 168 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: We have enough talent. It's either coaching talent or coaching 169 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: the talent. It can't be coaching the talent as well, right, 170 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: because if you can't get your players to execute your vision, 171 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: your scheme, then it has to be something in the approach, right. 172 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: It has to be something in the coaching, because I 173 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: think Waldron's scheme is fine. I like what he's trying 174 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: to do, but for some reason it's not connected. Well, 175 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm just seeing ago. I feel like 176 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: this is the same We're having the same type of 177 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: conversations over the last six years, you know, and all 178 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: they've done is one and been successful with Pete's philosophy. 179 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: It can't be every coordinator's issue. Right. At the end 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: of the day, you guys are talented. You're making a 181 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: lot of money go on kind of what you just said, 182 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: Just go play football, just make good decisions, and I 183 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: think it'll be I think it'll work out. Maybe we 184 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: don't have the talent, you know, that'll be something to 185 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: it to address too, because we've been good for so long. 186 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: It's it's hard to win in the draft world when 187 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: you're always drafting way into the thirties or into the 188 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: second round. That's why I think the Seahawks got Jamal Adams, 189 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: gave up the first round picks they did, knowing that 190 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: normally we're going to be so late in the draft, 191 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: it's worth it, and we have so much salary cap 192 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: room going into next year. We'll make it up in 193 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: free agency. Okay, real quick, Where don't they have the talent? 194 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Are you saying they should have went after Odell Beckham? No, no, no, no, 195 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that works out long term for the 196 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: Rams in the way they hope. But no, that's not it. 197 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: And we let's talk about more about that when we 198 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: come back from break. Hey, welcome back from break. And 199 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll get an opponent preview from 200 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: Darren Urban from Cardinals dot Com. That's next here on 201 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: Hawks Live. Thanks for joining US on Hawks Live. I'm 202 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: Michael Bumps with Paul Moyer. We're gonna dive into this 203 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: week's opponent, the Arizona Cardinals. We're gonna talk to Darren 204 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: Urban from Cardinals dot Com. Darren, how you doing, I'm 205 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: doing good? How we are doing? Okay? Man? For a 206 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: couple of years, we've been looking at this Cardinals team 207 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: and thinking, man, they're almost there. They're almost there. At 208 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: eight and two, have these guys arrived And what has 209 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: been the deciding factor of the difference between this year 210 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: and other years? Well, I mean, I do think they're 211 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: in a better position this you should than obviously the 212 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: last couple. They've come together quite nicely. And if they 213 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: can find a way to keep their best players healthy, 214 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: namely Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, I think they'll be 215 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: in a lot better place. But yeah, they when when 216 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: Kyler is playing in specifically, they've played excellent football. They've 217 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: been great on the road. You know, are they a 218 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: perfect team? They're not a perfect team. I don't know 219 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: if there is one of those in the NFL this year, 220 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: But I do think that if these guys come back 221 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: healthy after the buy especially, they have a real good 222 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: chance to make a deep playoff. Fun. I talked to 223 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: some of my Arizona alumni people. They say, it's nice 224 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: and beautiful weather down there, so we're jealous. Darren. You've 225 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: been covering these guys for twenty two years and they've 226 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: had some good teams, you know, particularly when Kurt Warner 227 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: and stuff were there. Is this the best a Zona 228 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: team you've seen? I mean, I'll be honest, Paul, there's 229 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: so much football left in this season that I think 230 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: some of that has to play out. Does it have 231 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: the ability to be that team? Yeah? I do think 232 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: it does. I mean, if you think of the best 233 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: two teams or the best eras I guess that I've 234 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: covered in the last twenty years, there would have been 235 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: the Kurt Warner teams, like you said, where they won 236 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: back to back division titles in OH eight o nine, 237 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: and that was a flawed team in a lot of 238 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: ways that kind of wrote Kurt Warner for a long time. 239 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: And then there was the one in the in the 240 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: mid twenty tens with Carson Palmer and Fits and all 241 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: those guys that I think might have been a better 242 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: team than the previous iteration. They got to an NFC 243 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: Championship game, but they suffered some key injuries, especially in 244 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen when Palmer hurt a stinger and Tyler Matthew 245 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: blew out his knee. So you know, again, I need 246 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: to see where this season goes. As DeAndre Hopkins barely 247 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: plays the rest of the way because he's hurt, it's 248 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: going to take a lot away. If Kyler Murray can't 249 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: get on the field sooner rather than later and get 250 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: back to where he was, then we'll see him. And 251 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: obviously this team started very well last year did finished Greek, 252 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: But I think they've got the capability to do it. 253 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: I think they're a deeper team. I think they're built 254 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: so that they can They have more skill guys, they 255 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: run the ball better, uh, they have a better defense. 256 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean overall, they have a chance to be one 257 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: of the better teams since this team moved to Arizona. 258 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: I am looking at one of your tweets with the 259 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: injury list there, and one of the things you talked 260 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: about are the injuries. But Buddha Baker's your status bears watching. 261 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: You got, you know DeAndre Hopkins who hasn't practiced in 262 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: the last two days. What do you know, I know 263 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: it's harder nowadays just because we're not down there all 264 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: the time. But what do you know about some of 265 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: these injuries? Well, I mean, DeAndre Hopkins is a guy 266 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: that you know, he hasn't He hasn't practiced since before 267 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: the October twenty fourth team, and until he gets back 268 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: on the field, I find it hard to believe that 269 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: he's going to be ready to play. And and with 270 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: a buy coming up after this game, I think they're 271 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: gonna want to be careful. I don't know a lot 272 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: about the Buddha Baker injury. You know, he opened the 273 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: week limited as a heel, and I thought maybe he 274 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: did something in the game Sunday. But now I'm starting 275 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: to wonder if maybe he got hurt in practice or 276 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: something because he didn't practice today. Tomorrow obviously will be 277 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: a big deal. You know how kind of a practice 278 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: goes in a week, Friday becomes a big deal. So 279 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: we'll be watching what happens with Buddha tomorrow, and obviously 280 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: we'll be watching to see what Kyler Murray looks like tomorrow. Hey, Darren, 281 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: we know this is a quarterback driven league. You guys 282 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: have a quarterback who's playing well. Right now, Kyler Murray 283 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: is completing seventy two percent of his past the seventeen touchdowns. 284 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: What have you seen in his progression as a quarterback 285 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: that allows him to play at such a high level 286 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: this year. Well, I mean, Kyler, I think I made 287 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the normal strides that you would see 288 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: from a quarterback in those first couple of years. I mean, 289 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: he was the offensive rookie of the year. He didn't 290 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: make a Pro Bowl. It's not like he was playing 291 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: bad football, but he was taking those steps and he 292 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: didn't you know, in a lot of ways, A lot 293 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: of people like to make the comparison between Kyler and 294 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson because of similar statures and everything. But obviously, 295 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: when Russell came in, he had the luxury of having 296 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: arguably the best defense in the league for a number 297 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: of years when he first started, so they asked less 298 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: of him, Whereas Kyler came in to a team that 299 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: was in bad shape all the way around, and they've 300 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: needed more from him and he wasn't able to deliver 301 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: every time. But I think this year, in addition to 302 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: the things he does well, which is amazing escapability and 303 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: making some off schedule throws. He has been really good 304 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket, and they've shored up the offensive line. 305 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: He's been more patient in the pocket. They have more 306 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: of a passing game in the middle of the field, 307 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: whereas the last couple of years have felt like they 308 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: were only attacking deep or on the sidelines. Were now 309 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field is in play. Uh 310 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: And and I also think he just makes better decisions, 311 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: and he said that himself. I mean, you get three 312 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: years into your league, you've seen most of what people 313 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: are going to throw at you, and that just was 314 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: going to take time. And I think that's kind of 315 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: where he is as a quarterback right now. Kind of 316 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: a two question one for you, which I shouldn't do 317 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: when I'm going to um. You know, everybody knows about 318 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: the offense, and you know there's it's usually where the 319 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: star names are. But this defense is legit. I have 320 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: a little little surprising on some of their run defense numbers, 321 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: but overall really good. So one how big of an 322 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: impact was losing JJ Watt And share with our listeners 323 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: just some names that we don't know about and why 324 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: they're all playing so well defensively. Well, I'll start with 325 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: J Watt and I think he was playing really well 326 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: when he went out. Now, he didn't have a bunch 327 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: of gaudy numbers, but you know, you look at some 328 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: of the ways, uh, some of the analytics and how 329 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: they they look at at at lineman now without the 330 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: stats and you know, pass rush win right and you know, 331 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: run stopping rate, and he was one of the best 332 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: interior defensive linemen in the league when he went down, 333 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: and uh, he just he gave them a presence in 334 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: the middle that just isn't there right now. And uh, 335 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: you know they're going to have to live without it, obviously, 336 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: and and maybe he comes back some time in the playoffs, 337 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: but you know, if not, you know, that's that's the 338 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 1: risk you take by taking a guy who you know 339 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: has had some injuries. But it was worth the list 340 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: of them. And I do think he was a big 341 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: reason by the start of the way they did um 342 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: As far as the rest of the defense, Uh, you know, 343 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: everybody knows Chandler Jones, who had a really good first 344 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: game and he's kind of been up and down since 345 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: then trying to find his you know, some of those sacks. 346 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: But Marcus Golden on the other side, a guy that 347 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: started with the Cardinals, left as a free Asian and 348 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: has come back is having a really nice year. And 349 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: he's got nine sacks right now. So that's the guy 350 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: that I think is playing well. Zach Allen is a 351 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: young defensive lineman who in his third year seems over 352 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: the last couple of three weeks is really found a rhythm. 353 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: Uh now that JJ watch out, they've really had to 354 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: lead on him, and I think he's been solid. He's 355 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: not spectacular, but he's been solid. And I think Isaiah Simmons, 356 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: whom you know, he just started playing some significant defensive 357 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: snaps last year when the Cardinals went to Seattle. Um, 358 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: he's had a solid season. You know, he has still 359 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: has some young person moments, but he I think he's 360 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: playing a lot better. And then the last guy would 361 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: mention would probably be Byron Murphy. You guys are familiar 362 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: with him in the cornerback out of Washington. He took 363 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: over as their number one cornerback when Patrick Peterson left 364 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: as a free agent, and I really truly believe he's 365 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: turned into one of the better cornerbacks in the league 366 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: and he deserves some Pro Bowl consideration and he and 367 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: he's been. He's been really extullent. Darren, Man, we appreciate 368 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: your time. We hope the Hogs making a tough one 369 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Man, you have a good night. I appreciate 370 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: him having me.

Moyer and myself, we're both 394 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: undrafted guys. And uh, you know, people don't really know 395 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: the grind. You know, you're at practice every day. You 396 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: might have a good practice one day, might not have 397 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: one the next day. You don't know if you're going 398 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: to be cut or not. How how gratifying is it 399 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: for you to be where you are now, knowing the 400 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: journey that you've had to get into this league. I mean, 401 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: this is a huge blessing. Man. I'm just you know, 402 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: thinking back on it, like you said, coming into it, 403 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, you're already you know, undrafted, and unfortunately for you, 404 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: mistakes are something that you just can't have. And you're 405 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: on you're on a different kind of a time clock, 406 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, and it's kind of one of those things 407 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: that whenever you get an opportunity you out of all people, 408 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: have to at it at all costs because maybe your 409 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: last and so um just looking back on it and 410 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: looking you know, back to the journey, Man, I'm blessed. Man. 411 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: It was really glad ifying be finally being able to, 412 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, go out there and play ball. Man, something 413 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: you know you've been dreaming your whole life, and when 414 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: you get so close to and you've been watching it, 415 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: you know from the sidelines, it's like, now, I just 416 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: really want that opportunity to be out there and finally 417 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: came through for me. So you know, I'm very blessed. 418 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: I know that story there, Ryan, I mean, yeah, I 419 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: was an undrafted free agent safety. He played seven years, 420 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: but I played every position. I played both safeties and 421 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: times I played nickel. Times they played what we call 422 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: strong linebacker. You were kind of did a little bit 423 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: that with you and Bobby in the middle. What are 424 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: your most comfortable way? And I know you just want 425 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: to play, but what are you most comfortable position wise playing? Man? 426 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: I tell you what, say, He's always been my brandon, 427 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: butther I mean ever since I was in high school. 428 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: I played that position day one, you know what I mean, 429 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: And have my about that corner. But it's just nothing 430 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: like playing safety. Mean, I mean, you see a whole field. 431 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: You can running head, you can make in the Sasians, 432 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: you can do a lot of things. It's fun. Man, 433 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: being able to play in space, running around and and 434 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: being involved in the run game in the past game 435 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: is to me, it's just the best position ever. And 436 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: I've always had role models and idols who I just 437 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: looked up to playing that position, just all the fun 438 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: they had. Like I look at every reader Sean Say 439 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: or you know, guys like that, just playing a position 440 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: just so freely and just you know, fast. It was 441 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: always attracted to me. So safety, for me, it's probably 442 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: just the best. Do you like dropping down in the 443 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: nickel situations and playing more of that linebacker role and 444 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: maybe line up on the tight you know, they move 445 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: you around there. I mean I've seen you on big 446 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: tight ends, wide receivers, running backs, inside deep. But do 447 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: you like sitting in that middle too? You comfortable at 448 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: least in the running situations? Oh? Absolutely, I mean that's 449 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: that's the game right there, running and hitting. I mean, 450 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 1: you can don't get no better than that. I love 451 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: it at all, man, being in the box, I do 452 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: it a lot in college, so you know what I mean, 453 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: it is nothing but an extension of it to me. 454 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: I love it. Man, linebacker, the next the next best one. 455 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You in the middle, you've 456 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: involved and if you know read stuff where you can, 457 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: you can get a chance to steal some stuff. Man, 458 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: those plays are always cool to watch. So I love 459 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: playing that position. It's far Ryan. I remember you coming 460 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: off the bench making plays against the Cowboys in the 461 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: following week and make a play against Miami. Um. You 462 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: always seem to be in the right place at the 463 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: right time. How was it sitting on the sideline and 464 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: getting your number called and just saying, look, man, I 465 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: stay ready. So I gotta get ready. Man, that's that's 466 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: what you're doing for it, you know what I mean. 467 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: It's one of those things that when you were in 468 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: that grind, you know, that practice squad grind, you got 469 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: behind yourself, like, man, hold off. If I can make 470 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: plays against the starters, the guys who are at the 471 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: doing it you know on Sundays, and big name guys, 472 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: but I can pick them off, I can make plays 473 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: against them. I can make plays against anybody. So I'm 474 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: gonna just take the time to work on my craft 475 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: and you know, competed all time, so you know, when 476 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: that time came, you know, I was ready for it, 477 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And coming off and making 478 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: a big play, especially in my first game, that was 479 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: just a man a side with me for me, it 480 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: was just you know, like a finally you know what 481 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, and that it was it was it meant 482 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: anything at that moment. Man, It's a big days to 483 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: even just and that register in my mind that it 484 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: just came in that to that situation. But you know, 485 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: it all ways out, man, it all wants out. Hey, 486 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: Coaches always want playmakers, and you're a playmaker, and you're 487 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: you're your secondaries fourth, I mean, you got your mall 488 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: and obviously Digs.

Actually, Playmaker twenty one.

I see it. 586 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: And and if my my granddaughter is born on December 587 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: twenty fourth, he's gonna be even.

How are we doing? We're doing okay? Man? 596 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: What do you think about this Thursday night game? Man? 597 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 1: New England sinks sixteen to zero. It stinks. Thinks it's boring. 598 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean, here's predictably boring. I mean I know, uh, 599 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: Bob and David I talked about this, you know, at 600 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: four o'clock. But uh, I mean when you see some 601 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: of the rankings that come out, and he had I 602 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: think Seattle in the power rankings at twenty fifth, just 603 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: really close to Atlanta. I mean, these teams aren't even close. 604 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of like comparing a couple of 605 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: weeks ago when Jacksonville came to town and you have 606 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: people saying, oh yeah, if you with Russell Wilson, Jacksonville 607 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: is better. Atlanta's terrible. I mean, look at look at 608 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: the past their offensive line. How bad it is. I mean, 609 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: and before this season, I was saying how bad it 610 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: is when I was looking at the scouting reports and 611 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: everything else, and then you look at the defense, it's 612 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: not that good. I mean when you look at the 613 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: yards and the way that the Patriots have controlled the ball, 614 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just amazing. It's only sixteam nothing, John, 615 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the standings in New England's basically a 616 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: half game back of Buffalo. What do you think wins 617 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: the AFC East. I still think it's Buffalo because I 618 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: still think they're the better team. But it's now going 619 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: to go right down to the wire because I think 620 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: you can see New England they're they're looking really good, 621 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, mac Jones is the best of the rookie 622 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing so far, the five first round picks. Uh, 623 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, and what's what's the one stat he's six 624 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: and four as a starter now going to be seven 625 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: and four. And the other quarterbacks, you know, the five 626 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who played, including Stanford's Mills, I mean they're five 627 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: and thirty six. So I mean he's won seven, they've 628 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: won five. And then you can see defensively they're getting 629 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: better and better and better. Matthew Juden right now he's 630 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: probably in the top four or five for defensive player 631 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: of the year. He looks fantastic with his nine and 632 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: a half sacks. And of course you know how good 633 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: they are in the second even though they were so 634 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: good they could even get rid of stuff out in Gilmore, John, 635 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: the Rams have lost two straight games and look a 636 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: little lost on offense. What are your thoughts going on 637 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: in la I think now a lot of last week 638 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: had to do I still think, and nobody's confirmed as 639 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: had to do with his ankle injury that he suffered 640 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: at the end of the game two weeks ago, because 641 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen what happened with Kyler Murray, who 642 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: has now missed two and you may be able to 643 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: play this week. But he just wasn't throwing well. Then 644 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: of course you make the adjustment. You lose Robert Woods, 645 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: who is you know, he was so dependable, and then 646 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: you put an Odell Beckham junior and they forced passes 647 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: to him. And then the other thing is they can't 648 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: run the ball. I mean they're not running the ball 649 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: very well. Daryl Henderson seems like he's always hurt. So 650 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: you throw all that together. They're a little off right now. 651 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: But still they've got a great record and a great team. 652 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: Well we'll go a little more Seahawks here because I'm 653 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: looking at the NFC and I started to go down 654 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: who's the best team, And it's really interesting Tampa Bay's 655 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: lost two in a row, or now that ams Arizona's 656 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, struggled with some injuries. Um, so let's talk 657 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: about some injuries. Yeah, we talked to darn It was 658 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 1: Darren Urban I believe it was earlier. And they're beat up. 659 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: I mean, boot you got Buddha Baker. They said keep 660 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: an eye on that one. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins still hasn't 661 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: practiced since I believe October twenty eighth or so he's 662 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna miss the game. Um so one, Who's who's healthier 663 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: of these two teams? Well, it's not even close. I 664 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: mean Seattle, you know, they've you know, added a few 665 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: guys that we don't know about. Again, we don't know 666 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: probably pretty much know the Carson Uh, Chris Carson's not 667 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: going to be able to go. But I think you know, 668 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: either got good news on Dwayne Brown and you know 669 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: you've got uh, you know, Dwayne Estridge back and all 670 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: that stuff. But I think what Arizona has, like about 671 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: seventeen players on the injured list, and a lot of 672 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: them key guys. I mean, you know, no Hopkins, No, 673 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: Justin Pugh the guard. Uh that Max Garcia, he's banged 674 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: up on the offensive line. And again you get the 675 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: injuries on defense, and they lost boot boot to Baker's 676 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: probably not going to be able to go, and then 677 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: JJ Watson injured reserve. So it's like you throw all 678 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: that together. That's not a good sign. And so it's 679 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: like they come into this game pretty beat up, and 680 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: then you wonder if Kyler Murray is going to be 681 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: out there, you know, how limited is it going to 682 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: be with this movement because you know that ankle still 683 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: is not going to be one hundred percent. So it's 684 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: like Arizona is clearly the more injured of the two teams. 685 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: John this Seahawks defense has been playing some good football 686 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: ads of late, allow thirteen points against the Saints, seven 687 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, seventeen against the Packers. Are you impressed 688 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: with this defense and do you think they can continue 689 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: to play at this level? I mean impressed, no, but 690 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: I think you can see definite improvement. I mean, again, 691 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, and press would be a top ten type 692 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: of defense, but they are doing a lot of good things. 693 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: You can see the improvement in the secondary. I mean 694 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: DJ Reid and Trey Brown have done a great job 695 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: as far as coverage. You know Jamal Adams who was 696 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: added to a list of guests today with a groin injury, 697 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: but he was limited in practice. I mean, he's making 698 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: some better plays and they actually started blitzing him a 699 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: little bit more. I mean you can see that they're 700 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: able to get a little bit of pass rush and 701 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: all those different things. So in the end, I think 702 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: that you're seeing some pretty good improvement from this defense. 703 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: But you know, impressed, No, They still have to continue 704 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: to get better and would do it and sustain it 705 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: for some period of time. Green Bay was pretty good, 706 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean definitely underrated defense. I think we knew how 707 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: good they were going into it because they've they've given 708 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, Arizona a tough time when they were healthy. 709 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: Obviously they shut us out last week our offense. Was 710 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: that an anomaly or is this what we're going to 711 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: expect the next few weeks? Well, I mean, I think 712 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: there's going to be a little bit of you know, 713 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: set up time for Russell to try to get back 714 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,919 Speaker 1: to being Russell. And you know, clearly you can see 715 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: that two things that he had to do because he 716 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: couldn't take a snap behind center, so it's like he 717 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: had to take a pistol and shotgun. And I think 718 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: the big mistake that they made is they passed the 719 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 1: ball too much. I mean, so for example, when you 720 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: think that they only had you know, eleven carries to 721 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: running backs, that's a recipe for disaster. Didn't we watch 722 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: that all last year when it was sixty forty pass 723 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: the run and of course what ends up happening is 724 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: what happened in the game. I mean, the longer you 725 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: go the more you then have a tendensee to get turnovers, 726 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: and they got two interceptions and then you know which 727 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: what's so sad about the defense is that, I again, 728 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: defense played a great game against Green Bay, but when 729 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: you're on the field two to one compared to your 730 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: offense and they just wore down and that that just happens. 731 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: I mean, particularly when you have guys like you know, 732 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner and Adams and all those guys out there 733 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: for over sixty seven plays. So it's like, you know, 734 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: that did catch up to him. John. The Hawks are 735 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: still in the playoff hunt. Do they make the playoffs? Well, 736 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is going to be one 737 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: of the tipping games to tip off where it's going 738 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: to go, because if they can win this one, then 739 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: I think that they can make it at nine and eight, 740 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, because again they've got the four easy games. 741 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: You know, they got Detroit, Chicago, Houston and Washington and 742 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: again Washington is twenty seventh on defense right now, and 743 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: you know they're down to basically you know, Tyler Taylor 744 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: Heineke is a quarterback. Then if they can just go 745 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: two and two in the division. That's why this Arizona 746 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: game is so important because if they lose the Arizona game, 747 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: there's a good chance that they'll lose in Arizona, which 748 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: means they'd have to get sweep wins against San Francisco 749 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: and the Rams. But if they can go two two 750 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: in the division, win the four winnable games. I mean, technically, 751 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: they're the third or fourth easiest schedule down to stretch, 752 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: and that does help them out. And their schedule so 753 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: much easier than some of the other teams that I 754 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: think that they can make it at nine and eight. 755 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: And again, where I'm still looking at is that you 756 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: look at New Orleans and you know they are five 757 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: and two, surprised everybody. You'll beat Seattle. But now once 758 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: they lose Jamis Winston. Now they're at the point right 759 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: now where they're down to five and four, and I 760 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: think they're going to continue to drop. You know, Alvin 761 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: Kamara didn't practice today. Good chance he's going to miss 762 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: his second game. And of course they've got a couple 763 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: of injuries on the offensive line, so I think they're 764 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: vulnerable continue to fall. And if they fall, you know, 765 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: because they're one of the six winning teams in the NFC. 766 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden you have five and you 767 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: may have two chances for a nine win team to 768 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: be able to make it. John, you said this Thursday 769 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: night game is boring. You know it's not boring. His DK, Mattcalf, 770 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: he always keeps it interesting. What are your thoughts on him? 771 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: Do you feel like he needs to grow up mature? 772 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, just what are you feeling he says he 773 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: needs to grow up in mature. I think we all agree, 774 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: you know, particularly now that you know the Walt Anderson, 775 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: the head of officials, is doubling down on the taunting rule. 776 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: And you can see they're not backing down one bit. 777 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 1: And so it's like, hey, they sent the letter out 778 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: to all the teams and general managers and coaches and said, 779 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: now listen, you got to get your guys to start behaving, 780 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: and you know, not do put themselves in that position. Well, 781 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: Metcalf is one of the worst as far as that goes, 782 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: And so I don't know. He said today that you know, 783 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: he needs to grow up. He needs to grow up. 784 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 1: He needs to stay away from all the extra taunting 785 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: and all the extra verbiage and everything else and just 786 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: concentrate on catching the football and blocking. It's the one 787 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: thing I don't like about the NFL when they go 788 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: into the competition committee and come out with these decisions 789 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: and really the players just have no input whatsoever, and 790 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: it drives. But John, it's that time. What's on your mind, professor? Well, 791 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean again, I go back into the taunting, you know, 792 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: because again what do we have, like now thirty five 793 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: penalties in the first ten games as far as taunting, 794 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: And again what I don't like. I never from the 795 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: very beginning I didn't like the taunting role. Now I 796 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: even hate it worse. And now the fact that you 797 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: know they're calling as many as you know, seven eight 798 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 1: a week is getting ridiculous. I mean, you know, you 799 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: can have a dance by Cassius Marsh and the next 800 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: thing you know, he gets a hip checked by Tony 801 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: Currente and he gets the taunting penalty on him, and 802 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: you've got all the penalties going against Medcalf. I mean again, 803 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: I still look like the Medcalf thing when you know 804 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: he climbed the goal post and you know they gave 805 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: him a taunting for that, you know, because they're saying, oh, yeah, 806 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: well you had an object that you dance. I mean, 807 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: the object's not going to get hurt. You're not going 808 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: to cause any problems. None of these taunting penalties are 809 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: going to lead to any fights or any injuries. It's 810 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: not a safety issue. It's just a dumb issue. John, 811 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: you made my night. Thank you for green with me 812 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: on this taunting ridiculousness. John, Hey, appreciate your time. You 813 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,040 Speaker 1: have a good night. Man. Okay, thanks? All right, that 814 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: was John Clay. When we return, it's time to talk 815 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: that talk. Me and Paul Moyer will square off on 816 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: some issues. Is the best version of Jamal Adams yet 817 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: to come? Can the Seahawks win without big games from 818 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: DK and Lockett? Will let you know. Next on Hawks Live, 819 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: it's time to talk that talk with Michael Bumpus and 820 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: Paul Moyer on Hawkslive, Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, 821 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: It's time to talk that talk. Me and Moyer. I'm 822 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: gonna square off on some issues. Things we gotta get 823 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: off our chest. Moyer, all right, I'm gonna start us off. 824 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: Let's go with number three first. Then let's just get 825 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: right too. Let's just start throwing haymakers. All right, We'll 826 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: start with some jabs then Okay, the best version of 827 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is yet to come, true or false and true. Um, 828 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 1: he got his first interception. Interceptions come in bunches. There's 829 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: there's a pressure I think he put on himself to 830 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: make plays. They gotta make plays. I'm the highest paid safety, YadA, YadA. 831 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: He's been balling out first of all. Yeah, I mean 832 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,959 Speaker 1: the guy is disruptive in the run games. He's playing well. 833 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: They're just not seeing it statistically the last three or 834 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 1: four games until they finally got that interception. I think 835 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: we're playing him at a safety position. They're they're using 836 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: him to his strengths as well, where they are doing 837 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: some stuff where they're dropping you know, defensive end outside 838 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: linebackers into coverage and bringing him off the corner. Um. 839 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: So his time's gonna come when he gets some sacked. 840 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: But I think he's he's a more complete player this 841 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: year than he was last year. Okay, So you're saying 842 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: and we're going to see a better Jamala, Well, I 843 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: think it's just to continue growth. He's playing pretty well, 844 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: and if you go and put the tape on, he's 845 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: playing well. Yeah. Okay, I'm gonna say we already saw 846 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 1: the best of Jamal Adams set the record with nine 847 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: and a half sacks as a DV. I think that's 848 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: where he's in his sweet spot. That's where he's in 849 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: his zone. I think he will continue to get better 850 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: at attacking the ball out the air. I'd never see 851 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 1: him as a four or five six interception type safety. 852 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: I see him as a guy who wants to get 853 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,840 Speaker 1: in the box and tackle and hit and do that. 854 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: And last year he did that, and he did it 855 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: at the highest level any dB has ever done it. 856 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 1: So I think we saw the best version of him already, 857 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: but I think we'll see another version of him that 858 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: is more conducive to a defense having success individually. That's 859 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: the best we've seen last year, So I guess I 860 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: would ask you I get from a sack standpoint, But 861 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: to me, that's narrow, you know, whereas this year he's 862 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: starting to play more cover two, he's gotten better at 863 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: he's playing other he's playing more. To me, he's more 864 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: of a complete player because we're playing him at a 865 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: more traditional safety. I get the numbers there. To me, 866 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 1: it was more narrow because it was really off the 867 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: blitz the coverage. He struggled, you know, he didn't look 868 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: good and covered two. He's starting to look more comfortable there, 869 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: so uh, you know, I'll say we tied that one. 870 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: What you got? Oh man, I'm gonna go with this 871 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: one here. Um, the Seahawks can't win without big games 872 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: from DK, Metcalf and Tyler Locket, which, by the way, 873 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: six tds and the three wins, five tds and the 874 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: six losses absolutely true. They need big games from these 875 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: guys to win, and that means Russell Wilson has a 876 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,320 Speaker 1: big game. Russell Wilson needs to have big games for 877 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 1: these guys to win. So that means DK and Lockey 878 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: need to have bi games. See how that's connected. Right there, 879 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: Russell and DK and Locket art connected to the hip, 880 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: and right now this office is looking like they need 881 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,360 Speaker 1: to be a pass first offense. We don't know that 882 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,719 Speaker 1: the health of Chris Carson. You got Alice Collins back there, 883 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: who had one good game as a starter twenty carries 884 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: one hundred yards against the Steelers. No disrespect to Alice Collins. 885 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: I just don't see him being able to do that 886 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: every single week. What I can see is Tyler Lockett 887 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: in d K or vice verse or whoever one of 888 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: those guys having a big game every week and Russell 889 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,240 Speaker 1: Wilson leading the charts. For this team to go forward 890 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: and win ball games, you gotta rely on those two. 891 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely true. Yeah, I don't have a wish if I 892 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: had a wish list, or I now if that's the 893 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,439 Speaker 1: right term. But if I thought, oh, ge, our running 894 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 1: game was awesome and our offensive line was playing exceptional, 895 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 1: then I would say, no, we don't need a big 896 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: game from him. We can just control the clock, move 897 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,800 Speaker 1: the sticks, run the ball well, play great defense. It 898 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 1: just hasn't happened. We haven't won without big games from 899 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 1: either DK or Tyler in Russell Wilson as well. So 900 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say right now, you're right, that doesn't mean 901 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: we gotta go crazy, but they've got to have big 902 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,760 Speaker 1: They've gotta have eight catches one hundred yards and a touchdown. 903 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: We've got to have big plays. It's too hard for 904 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: us right now to go twelve plays eighty yards. You know, 905 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: we still got to score easy. Million dollar question, Moyer, 906 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: name the biggest problem with the Seahawks offense scoring? Um? 907 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: I think right now it's it's the inconsistency of the 908 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 1: big plays. The checkdowns, the up tempo, the quick passing game. 909 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 1: So to me, it's the biggest problem I see as 910 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: we're still not taking what the defense gives them, and 911 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 1: we're still looking for the big play, and that that's 912 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: fresh in my mind because of last week. If I 913 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: looked at every game, I might have a different answer 914 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: because but last week is fresh to me. So that's 915 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 1: the biggest problem to me. It really starts as much 916 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: in the offense of line as well. But because Russell 917 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: has the ball every time, I gotta put it on him. 918 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: And so he talked about it. He took ownership. He's 919 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: got to play better. He's got to play better because 920 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 1: we have the players that we have. It's not gonna change. 921 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: The scheme's not necessarily going to change. It's in his 922 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: hands to make it work best. And I would just 923 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 1: want to tell him just take what the defense gives you. 924 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: It's okay to every once in a while throw the 925 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: ball away and punt. I feel you. I think the 926 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: biggest problem is connecting the first play with the eighth play, 927 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: connecting the twentieth play with the thirty second play, Like 928 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,359 Speaker 1: giving a look and having two or three things off 929 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: of that and then executing that right. You can go 930 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,919 Speaker 1: in with the plan and say, Okay, we're gonna set 931 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: up this early so we can run it late. You 932 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: gotta do that, but then you gotta execute. You gotta 933 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,240 Speaker 1: make the big play. There are a couple of plays 934 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 1: these past couple of weeks where guys aren't making the play, 935 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 1: and then I don't see a runoff from the first play. 936 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: I need to play one, and I need to play 937 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: one A, one B and one C. That's how you 938 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 1: get defenses kind of backing up and second guessing themselves 939 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,359 Speaker 1: and then just making the play. I think your Pro 940 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 1: bowlers need to play light pro bowlers and the oc 941 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: waals and needs to connect some plays together and show 942 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: a look in the second quarter, then boom, show it 943 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: again in the third in the same situation, and guess 944 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: what is not that play? It's something else off of 945 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: that easier set than done because you're get in situations 946 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: and you might not get in that same situation. But 947 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: that's what I'm seeing. I think that's what's missing right now. 948 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: It is interesting after I heard you talk that it 949 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: really is about just making place. It's about just being smart. 950 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 1: I mean it, we're down three, not then we're in 951 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: field goal range. It's third down, not the time, you know, 952 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: just let's kick the field goal. Let's let's play it. 953 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna go with you. You won that one, 954 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: all right? How about this one? And I'm gonna I'm 955 00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna throw a little wrinkle on you in this one. 956 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: And the reason why is Arizona is the thirty first 957 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: rank rush deep fence average in other words, yards per carry, 958 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: and they're thirty first right now. The Seahawks ran the ball, 959 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 1: but they didn't run it last week at all. I 960 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 1: think that what Levin carries for our running backs, well, 961 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:18,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks run the ball twenty five times or more Sunday. 962 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 1: I was gonna go twenty but I think that one's 963 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,839 Speaker 1: too easy. Yeah, I want to go to twenty five. Okay, 964 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,320 Speaker 1: absolutely not. I just don't think they're gonna do it. 965 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna rely on Russell Wilson in d 966 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: K unlock it because I think we agree they need 967 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: to play big to have success, and I just don't 968 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: know what they have in the back. Though you got 969 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 1: Alex Collins, got DJ, you got Travis, I don't know 970 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: how much they believe in that we don't know what 971 00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: the health of Chris Carson looks like. I think they're 972 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,359 Speaker 1: gonna go with their thirty five million dollar man and say, look, 973 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 1: go ahead and win this ball game for us. I 974 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 1: don't I'm hearing Pete. I'm hearing Pete say we gotta 975 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: run it, mat fact, I'm gonna jam this down, this 976 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: philosophy down, you guys, And you know, I kind of 977 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 1: gave you some leeway like it, go ahead and make 978 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: your best decisions. But when he said we're not running 979 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: it enough, um, I think we'll have success running it too. 980 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,799 Speaker 1: They're pretty banged up, they've struggled against the run. I'm 981 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: gonna say they're gonna And I also think here's the thing. 982 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: We don't win the games very often when we don't 983 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: run the ball at least twenty five and we have 984 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: to win this game. It's one of their weaknesses. I 985 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,760 Speaker 1: think we're gonna commit to it. We'll have more balance. 986 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: Look is balance here? How many times a green or 987 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: did San Francisco run last week against the Rams? Forty 988 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,280 Speaker 1: plus time? And they averaged three point nine yards per carry, 989 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: so it wasn't like they were just gashing them. So 990 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 1: that's what go Look go look what Arizona does. Go 991 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: look at Tampa Bay. Go look at Green Bay. Green Bay, 992 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: to me, is a great example. They don't put everything 993 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers. And so I think we're going twenty five. 994 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 1: I think that philosophy we're technically um halfway point right. 995 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: We're eight and a half weeks into this. So I 996 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: think that philosophy's gonna be jammed home. All right, I'm 997 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: gonna go and say you won that one here. I 998 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,760 Speaker 1: like that one. Okay. When we return, we'll go inside 999 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: the film m will break down plays from Trey Brown, 1000 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and Jamal Adams. That is next here on 1001 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,320 Speaker 1: Hawks Live. Hawks Live every Thursday with Me, Michael Buffs 1002 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: and Paul Moyer. Thursday Night Football has concluded. New England 1003 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: Pages win twenty five to zero. They beat the Falcons. 1004 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 1: That's good for the Hawks. Good for the Hawks. Falcons lose, 1005 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: that is good for the Hawks's that's crazy talk that 1006 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 1: we need a land until live crazy. Hey, we'll take 1007 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 1: it though. Anyway we can get it, we shall take it. 1008 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 1: But now alsign for us to go into the film room. 1009 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: That's when Paul Moore and I put on our coaches caps. 1010 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: And we break things down. The first play we're gonna 1011 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,359 Speaker 1: talk about as Trey Brown, he breaks up a fourth 1012 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: in two against Alan Lazar Rogers on a fourth down 1013 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: and two, takes a shotgun snap, looks throws inside Paul down. 1014 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: Actually it's the receiver bounced off the receiver because he 1015 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: was hit so hard by the defensive back Trey Brown, 1016 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: who just unloaded on Lazard and knocked that ball loose. 1017 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 1: He was just across the line to make was Lazard 1018 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: ball was coming in hot and Trey Brown got there 1019 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 1: just at that moment and knocked it down. Huge play 1020 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks defense. It's really textbook. I mean, they've 1021 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: got three wide receivers over the right empty backfield there 1022 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,680 Speaker 1: Aaron's looking for the matchup he wants. They've got two 1023 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers over to the left hand side as it 1024 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 1: looks from an X and no standpoint. You got Jamal 1025 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,240 Speaker 1: Adams up and does a really good job of getting 1026 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 1: his hands on the receiver and working over the top 1027 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 1: because they were trying to work him and that was 1028 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: the initial read. But Jamal took that flat route or 1029 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: arrow route away and this is where Trey but I've 1030 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,360 Speaker 1: been on him he's a playmaker. I mean you, the 1031 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,680 Speaker 1: quickness he does here is unbelievable. And the way this 1032 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: is a quick throw if no one gets the rid 1033 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: of the ball quicker than Aaron Rodgers, and he makes 1034 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 1: a play. And when he put his feet down and 1035 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 1: drives on this play and I've seen this a bunch 1036 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: he drives to the ball and he's done already a 1037 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: bunch of passes defense because this huge play in this 1038 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 1: against I think the very best in the game, Aaron 1039 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers at this type of throw, and he outplayed him. Man. 1040 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: What I love about this bowyer is that he played 1041 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,399 Speaker 1: the ball and the man not either or he wasn't 1042 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 1: just going for the pick. He wasn't just going for 1043 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,399 Speaker 1: the tackle. He goes, Look it's fourth and two, I'm 1044 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 1: going to make a play. This guy is a great 1045 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 1: job of feeling the game right, feeling Lazarre sit down, 1046 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 1: seeing Aaron Rodgers separate the right hand from the left 1047 00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,240 Speaker 1: hand and get into that throwing motion, and then believing 1048 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: in what he's seeing and breaking on the ball. You 1049 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 1: pointed out something that's crucial to this as well, Jamal Adams, 1050 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: is getting your hands on him, even if it's just 1051 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: a little bit as a receiver. If you are not 1052 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 1: going to make me adjust or influence me any kind 1053 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: of way on my route, I'm one hundred percent confident 1054 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be okay. Jamal does a good job, 1055 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 1: get hands, get into that flat. And then Trey brown 1056 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 1: Man is being a ball player and making a technically 1057 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 1: sound play, which has been a while since we've seen 1058 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 1: something look like that. In the second day, there's a play. 1059 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: There's a part of this play. It goes unnoticed. Aaron's 1060 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 1: not looking at him, but Ryan Neil picks up this 1061 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 1: deep crossing route. I mean, he does so such a 1062 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: great job. But you know they're trying to do a 1063 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: rub route on Jamal Adams and get the tight end 1064 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: into what do you call it, an arrow route into 1065 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: the flat. I don't know what you guys call it. 1066 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: But and again you're right, because he got his hands 1067 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 1: on the receiver and worked over the top, that play 1068 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: was gone and it gave Trey brown just enough time 1069 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: to make a play on it. But I was really 1070 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: good play by him. Great play by Trey brown Next play, 1071 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is intercepted in the end zone by Kevin King. 1072 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: Russ takes a shotgun. Snap steps up. Looks now he's 1073 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: got to move. Now he's sliding left again. Now he 1074 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 1: throws to the goal line and it's intercepted in the 1075 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 1: end zone. The ball was on the ground. No, they're saying. 1076 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 1: They are saying it was a touchback. King dropped the 1077 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 1: ball after he hit the round and Russell drives that 1078 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 1: ball and he I don't think he ever saw King 1079 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 1: as he tried to get it to medcalf. Three defenders 1080 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 1: around that one he forced right here. We call it 1081 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: this an orange or an organ. You got out by 1082 00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: the slot. Locket runs the corner, so does DK. DK 1083 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,920 Speaker 1: runs the post. So they're trying to influence that safety 1084 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:24,040 Speaker 1: right there. This is just a really bad decision by Russell. Wilson. 1085 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 1: Russell steps up in the pocket. The safeties do a 1086 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: great job of bracketing DK. Russell rose to the left. 1087 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 1: He says, Look, the defender had his back to him. 1088 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,080 Speaker 1: That's why he threw the football. But if you're gonna 1089 00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: throw that football has got to be high into the 1090 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,879 Speaker 1: corner the back of the end zone to where your 1091 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 1: six three six four receiver can get it. I just 1092 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,480 Speaker 1: don't know what he was looking at here. This is 1093 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: a month. I'm not playing football right here, And I 1094 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 1: know he looks at this and he's disgusted. Yeah. Look, 1095 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 1: it's also part of his nature and that he wants 1096 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 1: the big play. And you're right from a decision making standpoint, 1097 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: this was in the first quarter, seven nothing, game three 1098 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'd say we can live to fight another day. 1099 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,439 Speaker 1: This is a three nothing game in the fourth quarter. 1100 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, actually, he should have been sacked on this play, 1101 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: and they he kind of squirmed out of I wish 1102 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,640 Speaker 1: he had have got sacked because we would add at 1103 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: least an opportunity to tie the game. There there's another 1104 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,479 Speaker 1: thing on this. It's just a bad decision Russ. Russ 1105 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: knows this. I wish Travis Homer when he leaked out 1106 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 1: of the backfield, I wish he had a followed Russ. Yeah, 1107 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,720 Speaker 1: he went the other way. The middle of the field 1108 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: is wide open. I don't know if Russ would have 1109 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 1: seen it, but there's no way he's seen it. When 1110 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,920 Speaker 1: you're running away from him, When Russ is running to 1111 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: the left sideline and you're running the middle of the 1112 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 1: field to the right sideline, Russ can't see that. They 1113 00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: got a mirror that better here's the thing though, As 1114 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: a quarterback, Okay, where's my bell out? Where's my outlet? 1115 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 1: Right right? If everything's covered, he's got to follow that. 1116 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,400 Speaker 1: That's that's where I go to. So and that middle 1117 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 1: of the field again in his zone, the middle of 1118 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: the field, and sometimes man to man you get lost 1119 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,760 Speaker 1: when you sneak back through the middle of the line, 1120 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 1: and you can you can lose him, particularly if a 1121 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 1: back or a linebacker somebody's trying to hug you. You 1122 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: can play that right where he starts to hugging and 1123 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: boom you're out. But in a zone, the middle of 1124 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 1: the field is usually there's a weakness. So just Russ 1125 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,879 Speaker 1: as you're listening to this, I'm just coaching. Yep, budding, 1126 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,399 Speaker 1: ye up, all right. Next play, Jamal Adams intercepts Aaron 1127 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: Rodgers in the end zone. Rogers steps up in the pocket, looks, 1128 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: gets hit, steps out of a possible sack. Bobby hits him. 1129 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 1: Ball is in the end zone and it's picked off. 1130 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams picks it off. It's intended in the end 1131 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,760 Speaker 1: zone for Draguara. Rogers is hit just as he throws 1132 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:44,279 Speaker 1: the ball by Wagner. It's intercepted. The Seahawks kill the 1133 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 1: drive by the Packers and take over. The first interception 1134 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: for Adams this season. Well, I don't even know where 1135 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 1: to describe it. There's a couple of good things that 1136 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,839 Speaker 1: happen here. One, you know, Aaron looks to his left 1137 00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: and we have that covered. Um, it's a good pass rush, 1138 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 1: and that's what say the day because the pass rush 1139 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,839 Speaker 1: got to Aaron Rodgers and we talked about this going 1140 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,879 Speaker 1: to this game. Aaron believes in his arms so much 1141 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,320 Speaker 1: he's going to throw a contested ball. You've got to 1142 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,920 Speaker 1: come up with it. We're playing a three deep zone. 1143 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: It didn't really play it very well. It looks like 1144 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: we actually kind of busted because they run a seam 1145 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 1: route to our left. They offenses right seam routes. The 1146 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: number two receivers running a seam routes the weakness of 1147 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: a three deep zone because they can widen the corner. 1148 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 1: And what they're trying to do is you're trying to 1149 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 1: throw something in between the free safety and the corner. 1150 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 1: In this case, you always teach those guys to carry that, 1151 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: to hold that throw off, otherwise just an easy touchdown. Luckily, 1152 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 1: Aaron wasn't looking to that side. And then when he 1153 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: finally started to scramble and we got good heat on him, 1154 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 1: he saw somebody flashing the end zone at the last 1155 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: Simes bad decision on his part right after Russell. I 1156 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 1: mean we go bang bang, right, and so again it's 1157 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: a good play by Jamal Adams. I mean, that's the 1158 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 1: best he could have done there. You know, nothing he 1159 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,879 Speaker 1: could have done, but made a play in the ball 1160 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: and that's huge. And you know what's great about this play, 1161 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: it's just the excitement the defense had for Jamal. Yeah, 1162 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,760 Speaker 1: they feel it. They want him to have that success. 1163 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a good locker room get the guys 1164 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 1: like coming. So I do think we're gonna see more 1165 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: interceptions from him. And his best is still ahead, Still ahead, said, 1166 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 1: still ahead? All right. So Aaron Rodgers looks to the 1167 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 1: left side. You know why, because Davante Adams is over there. 1168 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: He goes, look, I'm gonna I'm gonna give my guys 1169 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: a chance. And at the same time, you influence that 1170 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 1: safety up top. You got a guy running an out 1171 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: and up, which widens the corner. What you're talking about 1172 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 1: by design, you run that out and up to make 1173 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 1: that corner expam and then you got the seam route. Um. 1174 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: I think if Ugo, I don't understand why Ugo is 1175 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: flying to the flat right now just so aggressively. I 1176 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: think that he should be patient, get his hands on 1177 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 1: that number two receiver and drop, just like you talked about. 1178 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,400 Speaker 1: But this is a great example of how the the 1179 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,919 Speaker 1: front is connected with the back end because if if 1180 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: that D line does not get pressure on Aaron Rodgers, 1181 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna flick that risk and that thing is gone. 1182 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:05,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, now you're right. They're great. Pass rushes make 1183 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,919 Speaker 1: up for a lot of deficiencies. There's usually somebody open. 1184 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 1: It's just don't do you have time to know there's 1185 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: five guys out of the backfield. Everybody does this with 1186 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Why didn't Russell see that guy because he's 1187 00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:21,400 Speaker 1: looking to the left. Okay, that's the fifth option. Let's 1188 00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: see the whole field more. He yes, see everything. If 1189 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm looking to the left and my fifth option is 1190 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 1: sitting on the far right side sideline, I may not 1191 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,000 Speaker 1: get there particular. There's a pass rush, and that as 1192 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,919 Speaker 1: much as anything saved the day there. All right, D Line, 1193 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: you keep doing your thing. We might see Jamal Adams 1194 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: get a couple more pigs. When this thing is all 1195 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: said and done, will we return. We'll go around the NFL. 1196 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater lets his team down. Have we seen the 1197 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 1: last of Richard Sherman? Does Levion Bell have anything left 1198 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: in the tank? And we'll start out the NFC playoff pitcher. 1199 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 1: That's next right here on Hawks line. Time to go 1200 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,959 Speaker 1: around the NFL top story, at least a top story 1201 00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 1: to ask Teddy bridge Rotter gave up on a fumble 1202 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 1: that ended in e ended up in the Eagles sessdown 1203 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,160 Speaker 1: last week, and boy didn't look bad. Here's his explanation 1204 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 1: on what happened. Yeah, and we watched it today as 1205 00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 1: a team, and you know, coach pointed it out at 1206 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: a My effort had to be better there, and I 1207 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 1: totally agree. That's not the type of tape that I 1208 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 1: want to put out there. It's one of those situations 1209 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 1: where you get pissed, you know, after you watch it, 1210 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: because it's like, you know how much this game means 1211 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,240 Speaker 1: to you. You know, you know guys out they're trying 1212 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,040 Speaker 1: to make it play. It's like you feel like you 1213 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 1: got a little help running towards the sideline. You try 1214 00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: to force the cut back. But in slow in real 1215 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: time and slow motion. I'm sorry. In real time, it 1216 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: feels like everything's happening fast. I was forced to cut back. 1217 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 1: But when you slow it down, it's like, man, you know, 1218 00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 1: just give them more effort. You watch it, you walk 1219 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: away from it pissed, you know, at yourself, at the effort. 1220 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: Before you guys jump in, let me just paint the 1221 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 1: picture a little bit better. So it's a handoff to 1222 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: the running back. It's a short yardage play. The running 1223 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 1: back fumbles the ball. Darius Slay from the Eagles picks 1224 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 1: it up, and it is dancing. I mean, the ball's 1225 00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 1: slipping out of his hands. He's running back and forth 1226 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,160 Speaker 1: and then finally breaks to the sideline and Teddy Bridgewater 1227 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,320 Speaker 1: not only has an angle, Slagh is running right at him, 1228 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 1: and as he gets close, he takes one two steps 1229 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 1: and makes a clear business decision, doesn't even try. His 1230 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: running back is going. After he gets tackled, Slagh runs 1231 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 1: it back for a touchdown. And it was one of 1232 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 1: the worst looking effort plays I think I've ever seen effort. 1233 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 1: Two things you can control, you know what I'm gonna say, 1234 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,439 Speaker 1: Attitude and effort on the football field. That was bad. 1235 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 1: More you played the game, you coached the game. How 1236 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: did that thing pan out in the locker room? Times 1237 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 1: have changed because it's a Kindler Jetler world of you 1238 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,760 Speaker 1: got to give a better effort. So my last year 1239 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 1: plan I had a bunch of stingers going on, and 1240 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: I always telling people. I said, when you get to 1241 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 1: a point in your career where you're telling yourself, go 1242 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 1: hit that guy. And it's not like that in slow motion. 1243 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 1: It's just I gotta go hit that. You can't even 1244 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 1: have that conversation. It's too late. We're playing the Kansas 1245 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. I don't know what the score is. It's 1246 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: again my last year quarterback. Bust the pocket up the 1247 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: middle and he's gonna score. I mean, he gets Actually 1248 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I thought he was on the goal line because I 1249 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: run up there and I see the goal line, and 1250 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 1: so I pull up because he's right there at the 1251 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,280 Speaker 1: goalne It wasn't the goal line. It was the extra 1252 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 1: point line. And oh man looked bad because it looks 1253 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: like I pulled up on him. But they had the 1254 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:34,480 Speaker 1: exact same markings, only it's you know, a six inch 1255 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: you know marking compared to the end zone. But subconsciously 1256 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: something made me do that. I don't know what. Man, 1257 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 1: let me tell you what when I and I knew 1258 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: how bad it was gonna look, because I all of 1259 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 1: a sudden I realized he wasn't in the end zone. 1260 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: You try to go home and watch it and you go, oh, 1261 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 1: this is gonna be bad. It's gonna be bad in 1262 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: the film room and they made a point. So we're 1263 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,120 Speaker 1: just with the DBS. Thank god. They could have done 1264 01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: it in front of the whole team. That would have 1265 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 1: been horrible. But Joe Vitt, you know, I'm very close 1266 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 1: with it. Man. He ripped me and he had to. 1267 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean that. You can't accept that. I mean, I 1268 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: turned down a hit. Never done that in my career. 1269 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: It looked horrible. You know, he's from Philly, and I mean, 1270 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 1: he yes, there's lots of languages I can't use on 1271 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 1: this one. It hurt, but I had to accept it. 1272 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 1: And I didn't even say I didn't even try to 1273 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 1: make an excuse. I told him. I remember going in 1274 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,439 Speaker 1: the shower afterwards, and man, I was just my head 1275 01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 1: was down. He came in there and like patted me 1276 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 1: on the back. He goes, I had to do that 1277 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,000 Speaker 1: he goes. You know, you can't have that. You know 1278 01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,440 Speaker 1: what's going on. And that was really when I started 1279 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: to realize that my career was over. I got a 1280 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: couple of herniated disks, But today they don't do that. 1281 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: It's hey, you got to give a better effort. Mine 1282 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,439 Speaker 1: was if you don't want to play, Yeah, there's guys 1283 01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 1: who want to play in this league. They're giving another this. 1284 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,600 Speaker 1: It was brutal. That was the that's actually the worst 1285 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 1: moment in my career. Did you guys win that game? Nope? 1286 01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: With Matack we lost every year in Kansas City until 1287 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the one where Derek Thomas missed the eighth sack of 1288 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,959 Speaker 1: the game and we threw basically hell married to Paul 1289 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,240 Speaker 1: Scanzy to beat him. No, we did not. It was 1290 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,480 Speaker 1: a closer game. He's probably still lost by double digits, 1291 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 1: and that touched Actually the game was it was put 1292 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: it out of reach anyways, but I just knew what 1293 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: that was. You never want to be called a coward 1294 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 1: and football, No, you don't want to say you ever 1295 01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 1: turned down a hit, especially in the goal I tell 1296 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 1: people goal line is Oklahoma drew. It's it's no longer 1297 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: formed tackle. Its sellout. Time. It's man against man. Yep, 1298 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and when you turn that down, that's career ending. It 1299 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: really is, and it's it's it's hard to live with 1300 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,840 Speaker 1: it unless you're a quarterbacks. Still, he's not paid to 1301 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: hit nobody. No, but still but you still gotta get 1302 01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 1: You made the point um during the the postgame show 1303 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're still a football player, right, Yeah, you 1304 01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 1: still played this game at some point. Teddy played on 1305 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 1: the field at some point of his career. He's capable. 1306 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 1: He's capable of just throw your body in there or 1307 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 1: like Nasa Chobe, our producer says, give it the old 1308 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,919 Speaker 1: kicker effort. Throw your body in like Ola, like throw 1309 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 1: your arms in there and to give the look. I tried, 1310 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,360 Speaker 1: but I just don't have this Emmy. That reminded me 1311 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 1: of Jannikowski against the Raiders. I think it was when 1312 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 1: he just bowed out and he goes, look, he just 1313 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 1: kind of jogged off. I don't want I don't want 1314 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 1: none of that. I've had coaches tell them their kickers, hey, 1315 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,439 Speaker 1: after you kick it, jog off the field. Really, yeah, 1316 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: you're more important to keep your health. I need you 1317 01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 1: to kick the ball. So there's gonna be ten verses eleven? 1318 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: What is we were playing soccer? You got a red card. Look, 1319 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I liked it. I've never had a 1320 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: coach do it and my teams, but I've seen teams 1321 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: do that. I'm quarterbacks, same way. It's awfully valuable position. 1322 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: What I oh, I would tell Teddy in that situation is, look, 1323 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: you can make an effort to just at least try 1324 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,800 Speaker 1: to pull him down, grab his jersey. Heck, in no situation, 1325 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 1: grab his face mask. We'll take the fifteen yard penalty. 1326 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 1: At least we'll get him down, all right. Moving on, 1327 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,919 Speaker 1: Richard Sherman's placed an IR on Wednesday. He got hurt 1328 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 1: during warmups. Man and Richards had an interesting year. Um 1329 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 1: he goes down at Tampa Bay where everyone goes to 1330 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 1: retire win championships. Is this the last we've seen good 1331 01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 1: old Richard Sherman. I think so. And it's not that 1332 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 1: he couldn't get healthy and still playing this league. But 1333 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,120 Speaker 1: once you start the injury bug when you're older, it 1334 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 1: just doesn't get better. It's it's really hard. You know again, 1335 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: basketball Lebron James right now, I'm concerned that you know, 1336 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna the injury bug starting to hit. It's just 1337 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 1: your get older. It's just hard to recover and your 1338 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: body starts compensating for things. And what he's got. Everything 1339 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:50,000 Speaker 1: he's got, you know, knee, he's got a chi lest 1340 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,680 Speaker 1: he's got hamstring. Those are all connected to each other. 1341 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, something overcompensates, and a 1342 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,120 Speaker 1: lot of times you end up blowing a knee out 1343 01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 1: on the other side because it's over calm up and 1344 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: sating so much. He's got enough money, he's had a 1345 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,439 Speaker 1: fun he's got a Hall of Fame career. It's time. 1346 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 1: It's time for him to go. What do you think? Yeah, 1347 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:11,960 Speaker 1: I think it is. And he plays a position where 1348 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 1: you're reacting like you're not controlling the situation. Really you're backpedaling. 1349 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: You're reacting to what the offense is doing. Uh, yeah, 1350 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: I think it's time. Like you said, being great career. 1351 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure you think he gets into the ring of 1352 01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Ring of honor up here. I do. I think he does. 1353 01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: And I don't think I mean from our group, Um, 1354 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner's going in, uh kJ Wrights or maybe we'll 1355 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,360 Speaker 1: see camp Chances going in. I don't think girls getting 1356 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,200 Speaker 1: in no, I don't. Uh, we'll see what happens to 1357 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,880 Speaker 1: his career. But I really believe the honor part is 1358 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 1: so important. And to me, Marshawn Tougher, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, 1359 01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 1: and yes I think we'll hang on. And I'm maybe 1360 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 1: longevity matters. Um, yeah, I think so. It's just we 1361 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: have so many people to put into the Ring of Honor, 1362 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 1: so many and from the last ten years, Doug, well, 1363 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: you got Doug. I mean, let me let me go back. 1364 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: We got Sean Alexander, I mean, does he get in 1365 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: to me? He should have been in by now though, 1366 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: well Matt Hassebek just got in. Yeah, but wasn't he 1367 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 1: here before? It came in about the same time. Matter fact, 1368 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,760 Speaker 1: when we drafted uh, Sean we are I think the 1369 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: stadium was being built in They were over at University 1370 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,960 Speaker 1: of Washington that first year, so the same career time. 1371 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 1: Obviously Matt played a lot longer. Maybe you're waiting for 1372 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 1: them to retire. I just think, looks, we just got 1373 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 1: Mike Holm grinned right, I mean the Hutch. Uh, you know, 1374 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:50,440 Speaker 1: we got Sean Alexander. Um, there's some guys still from 1375 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 1: my time that potentially and then you got obviously this 1376 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,360 Speaker 1: whole era of Russell Wilson and you know Sherman and 1377 01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Bobby and kJ and you know Marshawn be crowded in 1378 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: that ring man, very very crowded. So they can't put 1379 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 1: him in every year. Um. I think if I think 1380 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 1: if Sherman, if Earl gets in, man, it's gonna be 1381 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years, I believe. And you know, I mean 1382 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,840 Speaker 1: Kenny easily went through it. You know, there there was 1383 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:23,080 Speaker 1: some friction there. They had an issue, you know, and 1384 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,439 Speaker 1: I think with the way Earl went out, that's a friction. 1385 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 1: That's an it may change ownership or a regime change 1386 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: before he gets sent as all, I'm thinking he also 1387 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 1: got into a little bit of trouble. That's the honor part. Yeah, 1388 01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,760 Speaker 1: I think that's that's a big point, the honor right. 1389 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,880 Speaker 1: You have to have a certain type of reputation that 1390 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 1: will accelerate the process for you. But if you have 1391 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 1: some off the field issues, it might affect you a 1392 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,439 Speaker 1: little bit. You can be a great player, I mean, 1393 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 1: that's number one. Or you gotta be great at what 1394 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,760 Speaker 1: you do, whether you're an announcer or a coach. You 1395 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,600 Speaker 1: got to have that success but I can't go and 1396 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 1: do that. It's just to me, it would be awkward. 1397 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: I just think the way he left, the way he 1398 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 1: gave the bird, you know, just that part, and then 1399 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 1: you know the off field incidents. I think it's gonna 1400 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,000 Speaker 1: be tough for him to get in. All right, we 1401 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: shall see. Time will tell. Okay, when we return, we'll 1402 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 1: give you our final thoughts and keys of victory. That's 1403 01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,639 Speaker 1: next on Hawks Live. Welcome back to Hawks Alive. It's 1404 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 1: almost time to put a ball on this thing and 1405 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,560 Speaker 1: say good night. But before we do, we got some 1406 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 1: things to talk about. Man, these Arizona Cardinals is gonna 1407 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 1: be a tough game. They're eight and two. It seems 1408 01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 1: like they're getting healthy. Signs are pointing towards Kyler Murray 1409 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: being available. It doesn't look like Dandre Hopkins will be available. 1410 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 1: They still have aj Green, Christian Kirk, Brondel Moore, James Connor. 1411 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: On defense, you got Buddha Baker, you got Murphy, you 1412 01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: got Simmons, you got Marcus Golden with nine sacks, I 1413 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: guess Chap Jones challenge six, but only one since the 1414 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: opener when he had five. Yeah, he's been banged up 1415 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:54,720 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he's only played in five 1416 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 1: or six games this year. Good keep him off the field. 1417 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: But these guys are good. These guys are and they're 1418 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: undefeated on the road this year. That is key. I'd 1419 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: rather be playing them in Arizona. We travel well. Yeah, 1420 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 1: common theme here, buddy, Another tough game. We've had a 1421 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:17,560 Speaker 1: tough schedule outside of Jacksonville, who's played decent. You know, 1422 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 1: I think they're two and two of the last four games. Um, 1423 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,599 Speaker 1: you know, Indies, I mean, go look at our schedule. 1424 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's a tough schedule and we've been in 1425 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 1: every game, and I might even say Minnesota, We've been 1426 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 1: in every game. We gave up the lead seventeen to seven. 1427 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 1: We've had a chance to win in the fourth quarter 1428 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 1: every game this year. So we're competitive. We're just not 1429 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,240 Speaker 1: finding ways to close it. We're gonna win this game. 1430 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: So you're gonna pick the Hawks to win on Sunday. 1431 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna help you out already because I'm destroying 1432 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:53,800 Speaker 1: everybody on game predictions with six wins this year, I 1433 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 1: didn't have a good feeling in any of the games before. 1434 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 1: And I've picked the other teams. I'm telling you the Hawk. 1435 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,799 Speaker 1: You're gonna win this one as long as DeAndre Hopkins 1436 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 1: doesn't play, and he's not gonna play. Oh, we gotta wait. 1437 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna win this. We're gonna We're playing well enough defensively, 1438 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is not at his best. Um, I think 1439 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,599 Speaker 1: we'll be I think we'll take care of that. Their 1440 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 1: defense is banged up. Um, we're gonna play better. If 1441 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 1: it should be a low school. If Chris Carson does 1442 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 1: not play, you still feel the same way. I'm not 1443 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:28,839 Speaker 1: counting on Chris Carson this year. I know neck injuries, 1444 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,000 Speaker 1: it would put me in the retirement world. Um, they're 1445 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: they're tricky. Um. And if it's if it's not developing 1446 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:40,000 Speaker 1: because of treatment and things like that, you know, it's 1447 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 1: often means there's another level. I mean, it's possible surgery. 1448 01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:44,559 Speaker 1: They're gonna shut him down for the year. So I'm 1449 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 1: not optimistic. And I have no knowledge other than history 1450 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,400 Speaker 1: and next are tricky and I just you know, just 1451 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 1: the Pete part. Well we'll know more and and well 1452 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,760 Speaker 1: we'll know more. But I'm not counting on him. I mean, 1453 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,080 Speaker 1: I think Allen's Collins be fine again. I'd love for 1454 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,320 Speaker 1: Penny at some point to step up. They are not 1455 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 1: a good run defense. They're not. They're not. We have 1456 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 1: to take advantage of that, and I think we will 1457 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,759 Speaker 1: run that rock with Alex Collins and Travis Homer DJ Dallas. 1458 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 1: We're not counting going Chris Carson unfortunately throwing the full ball. 1459 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,000 Speaker 1: I think we both agreed that DK Metcalf and Tyler 1460 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:19,599 Speaker 1: Lockett need to have big games. Gerald Everett is your 1461 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 1: third leading receiver right now. He has twenty two for 1462 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 1: one ninety eight and a touchdown. Last game he had six. No, 1463 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 1: he didn't, he have eight? Eight? Sorry? Eight? Yes, he 1464 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 1: was my key hawk? Was he your key hawk? My MVP? 1465 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 1: But like I tell you every week, if you need 1466 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,160 Speaker 1: a pat on the back, I got you, I got 1467 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 1: I got me covered. More's is balling this year. He's 1468 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 1: killing us in the games. He's kicking. I give him 1469 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:46,439 Speaker 1: the key Hawks. Man. I mean, is good for you, man, 1470 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 1: Life is good. It's just celebrated thirty two years of 1471 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:53,679 Speaker 1: marriage Sunday. Yeah goodness, man. And you've got big playoff 1472 01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:58,759 Speaker 1: game against Mount Spokane this week and East Side Catholic. 1473 01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:01,760 Speaker 1: There's some big games coming up here. There's some big 1474 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 1: games coming up. Nothing bigger than the Cardinals in the 1475 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 1: in the Seahawks, though, man, if they if they do 1476 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: not win this game, I'm gonna say playoff hopes are gone. 1477 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,559 Speaker 1: They're gone. Yeah, I mean, here's why there's four winnable games, 1478 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 1: all right, put you at seven. I mean, you've got 1479 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 1: to get you gotta go beat somebody, you gotta. We 1480 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,280 Speaker 1: have to be Arizon at least one of these two. 1481 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 1: We're at home, we're healthier than they are. Forget how 1482 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,800 Speaker 1: we've played. We gotta go win that game. And if 1483 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 1: we do, the schedule sets up nicely for us to 1484 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:38,440 Speaker 1: get a run. But I'm not confident beating anybody Chicago, Houston, 1485 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: maybe Houston. But now, every game's tough everyone, Yep, every 1486 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,599 Speaker 1: game is going to be a tough one here. Defensively though, 1487 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,600 Speaker 1: I think that's the bright spot right This defense is 1488 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 1: playing well. They're gonna have their hands full this week. 1489 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna see if Trey Brown can continue to develop 1490 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 1: as a young corner. DJ Reid has had a good game, 1491 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,760 Speaker 1: digs doing what he does. Jamal Adams, according to Moria, 1492 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,519 Speaker 1: we have not seen the best of Jamal Adams yet, 1493 01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: so we're looking for him to do things and then 1494 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 1: the wild card they got off the bench, Ryan Neil, 1495 01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if he can come in to make three 1496 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 1: or four plays a game, whether it be special teams 1497 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: or one or two on the defense, those are the 1498 01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 1: I think those are like the X factors, the deciding factors. Right. 1499 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: We said it all your your Pro bowlers, and they 1500 01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 1: play like Pro Bowlers. But then you need guys like 1501 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,280 Speaker 1: Ryan Neil and Google Amadi to step in and make 1502 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 1: a little splash out there to keep things interesting. Yeah, 1503 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowlers. You know again, we gotta step up. 1504 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean DK Metcalf mentioned something I think it was, 1505 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was in a press conference 1506 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: or after that. Hey, we gotta get the ball. That 1507 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: are playmakers, and I agree, but you guys gotta make plays. 1508 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta make every catch. You gotta get 1509 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:51,320 Speaker 1: open on defense. Man. You know, our Pro Bowlers can't 1510 01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 1: just play the game. You gotta play great. Because here's 1511 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 1: what I do like, I really feel like we got 1512 01:14:56,920 --> 01:14:59,639 Speaker 1: playmakers in the secondary most court. I think Trey Brown 1513 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,559 Speaker 1: adds a dimension for us digs. We know what we're 1514 01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:05,400 Speaker 1: getting there. Jamal is starting, you know again, he's been 1515 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,920 Speaker 1: playing really good throwing. Ryan Neil Um. You know he 1516 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: got Bobby, he got you know, Jordan Brooks. You know 1517 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,080 Speaker 1: those are those are playmakers. Did we forget about Darryl 1518 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 1: Taylor's mettle while since he's recorded a sack? Right, he 1519 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: was the guy we were really um I still am, Well, well, 1520 01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:23,799 Speaker 1: yeah we are. But you know he had that injury 1521 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:25,680 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh I believe it was, and they had to 1522 01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,680 Speaker 1: stay out a week. Then he comes back. He's got 1523 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 1: to get going as well. Rashim Green second on the 1524 01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,600 Speaker 1: on the team with three sacks. He could have had 1525 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:35,240 Speaker 1: a couple last year, I mean last week. Aldon Robinson 1526 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,799 Speaker 1: has been developing a little bit. I mean again, names 1527 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 1: that aren't household names, but names that are vital to 1528 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 1: the success of this football team. Yeah, Murray's been sacked 1529 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 1: eighteen times and that's in what, I don't know how 1530 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,639 Speaker 1: many games he's missed. He missed just one games, missed two. 1531 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, so you know that's a high sack rate 1532 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,760 Speaker 1: for for anybody, even for Russell at that point. So 1533 01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 1: there's some opportunities there. I hope he doesn't play. I 1534 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 1: like our chances a lot better, but I feel better. 1535 01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: I feel like, hey, we had a bad game. But 1536 01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 1: we've got everybody, we're healthy, we know what we're gonna 1537 01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,280 Speaker 1: get from Ross, so we're not gonna get another one 1538 01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,120 Speaker 1: of those. I mean, we had that conversation, but I 1539 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:17,920 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna have another game like he played 1540 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 1: last week. We're gonna run the ball, We're gonna be efficient, 1541 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,640 Speaker 1: the crowd is gonna be loud, we're gonna win the game. 1542 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna go to four and six, and we're gonna 1543 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 1: be right back in this playoff.
