Tyrold new linebacker today spoke about it 75 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: in this press conference that like, I don't even know 76 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 3: if he's aware of how smart he is, right, And 77 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: everyone on defense is locked in, they're bought in, and 78 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: we're just gonna see different stuff. I feel like that 79 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 3: we haven't seen recently, right. You know, we all remember 80 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: the game against Baltimore this past season wasn't fun for 81 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 3: anyone in the Seahawks uniform, right, and just the things 82 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: that people saw. So I'm excited about just him being 83 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: in charge. Then you bring in Dirty who's had a 84 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 3: ton of success with Dallas in different places he's been. 85 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: But I look around and I go the front seven bumpy, 86 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: I've excited and such a bummer that our guy Channon 87 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: Wosu he'll be back out there eventually. But he got 88 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: a little dinged up in the preseason. But when you 89 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: look at this stuff, Okay, boy a coming into year two, 90 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 3: Derek Hall was messing people up this preseason. He's going 91 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: to take a jump Mafe Draymont. Then you got Leo, 92 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: Leonard Williams, Jaron Reed Hankins. Of course the number one 93 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: first round pick, I should say, Byron Murphy. So I 94 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: look at this front seven and I feel like, sorry, 95 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: then you had the linebackers Dotson and Baker Bump. 96 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel. 97 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: Like this front seven on paper. 98 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: Even Mike McDonald's alluded to this, I feel like this 99 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: is one of the better front sevens he's ever coached. 100 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: And he's coming from Baltimore, so that's saying something. 101 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: So for me, I'm really excited about what they can 102 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: do from a pressure standpoint and just all the looks 103 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: they can give. I just feel like this front seven 104 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 3: a is going to be way better stopping to run, 105 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: way better overall defense, and that's just gonna make the 106 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 3: life of guys like Spoon, Riquell and Jewy Love that 107 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: much easier. 108 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 4: Man.

Twelve million a year? 113 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 6: Good for you, son, and bringing in Wallace and Jenkins 114 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 6: as what that safety spot? You know, Jamal's not here obviously, 115 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 6: Quandrey Thor over there in Tennessee. But no, I feel 116 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 6: good about the back end. And I felt good about 117 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 6: the back end before the box got solidified. 118 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 5: So now that the box is locked down, the back 119 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 5: end should be good. 120 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 6: The personnel is there now they got to go out 121 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: and scheme and execute. 122 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing about football, right, everything is great, 123 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: and everything is great when you're undefeated.

Expect some 128 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: big things and I'm excited about it. But let's jump 129 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: over to the Seahawks Week one opponent. What's on tap? 130 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: What's on tap? 131 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 3: Denver Broncos coming into town on Lumnfield this weekend. The 132 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: Broncos last year in twenty twenty three were eight and nine, 133 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: good for third place in the AFC West, and Sean 134 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: Payton's entering his second season as head coach. And you know, 135 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: despite them going eight to nine last year, they actually 136 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: had a three game improvement from the year before. But 137 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: the Broncos man, they've had some tough times. 138 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 5: Bom, Yeah, they have. 139 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: They have not had a winning season since twenty sixteen 140 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,119 Speaker 3: Peyton the year after Peyton so had a winning season, 141 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 3: but they haven't been to the playoffs since twenty fifteen 142 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: with Peyton where they won. 143 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 4: The Super Bowl. Dang, So it's been a little minute. 144 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 4: They've had some rough seasons. 145 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 3: A lot of different quarterbacks will get into later, but 146 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: the main guy that's headlining their team is Bonicks. Everyone 147 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: in Seattle should be very familiar with Bonick, especially if 148 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: you're like packed twelve football. He's gonna be making his 149 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: first NFL start this weekend and we'll dive all into 150 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: Bowknicks when we get the man up. But just taking 151 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 3: a look how Denver finished the season bump. Offensively, they're 152 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: twenty six averaging two hundred and ninety eight yards per game, 153 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: eighteenth running the ball one hundred and six yards per game. 154 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: Throwing the rock, they were twenty fourth at one hundred 155 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 3: ninety one yards per game and then points per game. 156 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 3: They were nineteenth at twenty one, So obviously it's gonna 157 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: look completely different. Judy's gone, the big number three, Russell 158 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: Wilson is no longer there, so their offense is gonna 159 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: look different. So it's hard to take too much from 160 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 3: that bump. But when you stand out, I mean, they 161 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: have a lot of room to improve when you look 162 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: at it. 163 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, Sean Payne has this guy. It never felt like 164 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 6: Russell Wilson was his dude. It was kind of like, 165 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 6: all right, I'll take this job, and I guess I'll 166 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 6: put up with Russell Wilson. 167 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 5: I don't think he got a fair shot in Denver. 168 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 6: And let me point out, for all the Russell haters 169 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 6: out there, we still got a little love for Russell. 170 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 6: His second year wasn't that bad, all right, They just 171 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 6: weren't winning ball game. So now that Sean Payne has 172 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 6: this guy, the young of Bownicks, who is the oldest 173 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 6: for rookie in the games, sixty plus games at the 174 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 6: college level, which is crazy to me, he should be 175 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 6: able to mold this offense the way that he wants to. 176 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 6: Last year, on defense, they were twenty ninth overall out 177 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 6: three hundred and seventy points. When it comes to RUSS 178 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: shards per game allowed, they were thirty ath one hundred 179 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 6: and thirty seven yards per game passing yards giving up 180 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 6: every game two hundred and thirty three. There were twenty 181 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 6: second in points allowed twenty four point three. That's twenty seven. 182 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: It's crazy because Russell's first year that defense was on 183 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 6: point right the second and then he couldn't get right. 184 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 6: And then the second year he got better and the 185 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 6: defense kind of, you know, falls it a little bit. 186 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 5: So it's been up and down. You mentioned it, twenty fifteen. 187 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 6: Since they've been in the playoffs, yeah, man, or twenty 188 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 6: sixteen since they've been into the player. 189 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: Twenty sixteen, winning seeds in twenty fifteen playoffs. 190 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 5: Goodness gracious. So they know about ups and downs. 191 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 4: Yeah man. So it's gonna be interesting. 192 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: Obviously, they have a lot, you know, I think they're 193 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: playing from a standpoint. I don't know how high expectations 194 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 3: are down there in Denver, but I know they're kind 195 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: of playing with house money. I feel like there's some 196 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 3: optimism a new quarterback. So we'll definitely get deeper into 197 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: what those Broncos look like. But you know, us, we're 198 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 3: big time historians. Like to look at what happened the 199 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: last time these two meant. 200 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: So let's know the history. No, your history pretty hard 201 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: to forget. 202 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 5: Bump. 203 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: It was twenty twenty two, the Seahawks win a thriller 204 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: at lumin Field the season open, and the last time 205 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: these two. 206 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 5: Teams that Monday night. 207 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 4: It was Monday was Monday night. Yes, it was Broncos. 208 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: Overall, though these are two obviously AFC West old rivals, 209 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: Broncos lead all time series thirty five to twenty two 210 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: in the regular season. Seahawks are two to zero in 211 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: the postseason, obviously, including Super Bowl forty eight. The Hawks 212 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: have also won three of their last four meetings. But 213 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 3: that home game, that Monday opener, Monday night twenty twenty two, 214 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: we got to see Geno Smith for the first time 215 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 3: as the real starting quarterback. Russell Wilson made his return 216 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: to lumen Field, and Bump that day was electric. 217 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it was awesome, man, it was a thriller. 218 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 6: You mentioned Geno Smith doing his thing, and he was 219 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 6: twenty three of twenty eight for one hundred ninety five yards. 220 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 5: He also had two touchdowns. Will Disley, he. 221 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 6: Ain't with us no more, men, Good luck uncle will 222 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 6: Kobe Parkinson as well, and with this no more. He's 223 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 6: still balling though they had touchdowns and he was seventeen 224 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 6: of eighteen in the first half. So Gino hit the 225 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 6: scene in that lime green and was like, look, it's 226 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 6: my team now. 227 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 5: I remember the crowd, Gene no, gene no. I was 228 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 5: happy for the dude. 229 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 3: Man. 230 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 5: He went out and and he did his thing. 231 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 6: Man, But the Seahawks came up with a They force 232 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 6: a fumble, two Denver fumbles on the Seahawks one yard 233 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 6: line in the second half, and I think that's that 234 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 6: kind of gets missed. I forgot about that, those big 235 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 6: plays on the goal line. So the first game of 236 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 6: the season is primetime. Russell's on the other sideline, Gino's 237 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 6: doing this thing. The defense caused a couple of fumbles, 238 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 6: and some other things happened too. 239 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, bump, yeah, I think it. Everyone remembers the field goal, right, yeah. 240 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson has the ball in his hands as the 241 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: fourth and five and everyone's justsooming. 242 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: We're up in the We're up in the now T 243 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 4: Mobile end zone. 244 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: But the old Ring of Honor Lounger sitting there and 245 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: we're watching the glass and getting ready for the post 246 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 3: game show. We're thinking, okay, well they're gonna go for this. 247 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 3: They're obviously going for this, and then more time kind 248 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: of goes off the clock, and more time goes off 249 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 3: the clock, and you go, no, they're not gonna They're 250 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 3: not gonna send out in it many out McManus for 251 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: a sixty four yard field goal attempt. As we know, 252 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: Bronco's twenty more seconds went off the clock, tried the 253 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: low percentage kick, didn't work, Seahawks win, and we were 254 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 3: provided the probably the best post game or one of 255 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: the best post game soundbites ever. Obviously there's been a 256 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 3: couple other historic ones here in Seattle. Richard Trumpan, but 257 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: you know they when Lisa Salters I believe, asked him, 258 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: you know, about getting wrote off, He's like, they wrote 259 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: me off. 260 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 4: I am right back, though, that's a problem. 261 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 5: That's what's up. 262 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: And that was the beginning of our friend Gino Smith 263 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: really taking making a statement for what quarterback you could 264 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: be in this town. So that was a great memory 265 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: and I'm hoping the Seahawks can kind of rekindle some 266 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: of that because while that season had up and downs, 267 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 3: it did end in the playoffs, and it was definitely 268 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: a season where the Seahawks kind of, you know, exceeded expectations. 269 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 3: So I'm definitely hoping we can get that to that. 270 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: But we got to spin it back to the NFC West. 271 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 4: Check out what's the word. 272 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: The Seahawks or the NFC West champs? Again? 273 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 4: What's the word in the West? On hot Talk? 274 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what the word was. 275 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 6: In twenty twenty three, the Niners won the division again. 276 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 6: They were twelve and five, the Rams ten and seven, 277 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 6: the Hawks were nine and eight, and the Arizona Cardinals 278 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 6: were four and thirteen. The Seahawks missed the playoff for 279 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 6: the fourth time and fourteen seasons. 280 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 5: Man, that was rough. 281 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 6: But what you got some of those players back in 282 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 6: reasons to be optimistic about this group. So we're gonna 283 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 6: watch that. But let's keep going down the division. The 284 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 6: forty nine Ers did what they do. They went to 285 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 6: the playoffs, went to the conference finals in the playoffs, 286 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 6: and couldn't come up with a big win. Hard to 287 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 6: be a Niners fan. They built you up all year 288 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 6: and then they just let you down at the end 289 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 6: of the year. Sure, big upset Niner game, beat me 290 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 6: bang all right, Arizona, Man, it was tough for them. 291 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 5: They end up going four and thirteen. 292 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 6: But what I respect about that whole situation is is 293 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 6: Kyler Murray came back. 294 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: He didn't have to play last season. 295 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 6: He was banged with ACL he was coming off of 296 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 6: didn't have to play, but he got out there and 297 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 6: he did his thing, and the team looked looked okay 298 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 6: at the end of the year, looked all right. And 299 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 6: then the Los Angeles Rams, Man, they shocked the NFL. 300 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 6: They were at five and twelve and twenty twenty two, 301 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 6: and this in twenty twenty three. 302 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: I underestimated them. 303 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 6: No Trooper Cup was gonna be in the mix, and 304 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 6: then Pooka comes out and just arise, what fourteen hundred 305 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 6: yards on the season. Matthew Stafford has had his ups 306 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 6: and downs as well. No Aaron Donald this year, though, 307 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 6: which is gonna got refreshing for this league, especially in 308 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 6: this division. But yeah, the Rams, they were the biggest 309 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 6: surprise I think in the division last year. 310 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: With that question, I feel like a lot of us 311 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: made this comparison last year, but they were essentially the 312 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two Seahawks, right where everyone assumed no this 313 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: team's gonna be horrible. They're gonna win four five games. 314 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 3: They come out and it's no surprise. Sean mcvay's a 315 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: great coach. I remember all the times we've had JB 316 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 3: Long on our pregame show, the Rams play by play guy. 317 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: He was talking about playoffs halfway through the year and 318 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 3: we were like, really, but you know, they still laughed 319 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: at it out there. 320 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 6: We laughed at him, and I texted jv I'm gonna 321 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 6: work with JB this year. And I texted him and said, 322 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 6: my bad dog, you were right, because they were like 323 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 6: three and three or something at the time. 324 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: He wrote an article is like here's the crazy optimism 325 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: of how the Rams get to the playoffs. Like stop 326 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: reading if you don't believe me, blah blah blah. So 327 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: we had fun with him about it and then yes, 328 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 3: that's right, you do. Hey, there's a new mc west 329 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: now this year, new coaches, Mike McDonald's in there. So 330 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see what the Seahawks do, just 331 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 3: because it's obviously one of the best divisions in football, 332 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: so it should be a fun year bump. But let's 333 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: get back to these Denver Broncos. Get some matchups, man 334 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: up man up on Hawk Talk, like we typically do, 335 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: We're gonna start looking at the quarterbacks, the ones that 336 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: make a lot of the money here in the National 337 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 3: Football League. 338 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: So we're gonna start with bow Knicks, right. 339 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: Bo Knicks is the highly touted player out of Oregon 340 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: and Auburn, and he's gonna be the first rookie quarterback 341 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: to start for the Broncos since John Elway. 342 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 4: He was a pretty good player. 343 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: I believe he's right. 344 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, So when he takes his first nap at Leomenfield 345 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: on Sunday, he'll be become the fourteenth different starting quarterback 346 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 3: since Manning put on the uniform in twenty fifteen. 347 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 5: Bro I can only name like four that many. 348 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: It's hard goodness Stidham, Paston Lynch. But brock Osilo. 349 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 6: Had a receiver start at quarterback one game, Lindsay, the 350 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 6: running back from the Yeah, yes, anyway, So that's that's 351 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 6: not great obviously, but there's a lot of new hype 352 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 6: and optimism in Denver. 353 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: Bo next with twelfth overall pick in the first round 354 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: of this past year's drafts. And like I mentioned it, 355 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: fans in the Northwest known about bon Nicks because he 356 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 3: was a baller at Oregon, was a baller at Auburn, 357 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: and he took his game to the next level. I 358 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 3: feel like Bump when he came to Oregon. You got 359 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: to see a lot of these games working for the 360 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: Pac twelve that aren't rip, but I mean he was. 361 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: He threw for four thy five and eight yards, forty 362 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: five touchdowns and just three interceptions. He might have won 363 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: the Heisman if he didn't lose the udup two to 364 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: separate times. But if you look at the numbers, it 365 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 3: definitely wasn't because of him. 366 00:14:58,880 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 6: No. 367 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: I mean, the dude is baller, so it'll be interesting. 368 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: I feel like he could have been up there in 369 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: the Heisman if, like I said, if they won those games. 370 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: He led the NCAA and pass completions, completion percentage, passing touchdowns. 371 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: You alluded to this earlier, sixty one starts in college crazy. 372 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: That is insane. 373 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 5: The fact that he was healthy for sixty one games 374 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 5: it's itself is nuts. 375 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 376 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: I mean, you essentially are getting a veteran player coming 377 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: out making that many starts and only playing He played 378 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: high school football in Alabama, going in the SEC at 379 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 3: Auburn high level. PAC twelve the best of Pac twelve 380 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: was looked maybe ever this last season, so he's definitely 381 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: battle tested in that bump and he's going against the 382 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: Seahawks defense that was twenty first against the pass last year. Obviously, 383 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: I expect things to change with Mike McDonald at the helm, 384 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: but bump, when you look at that, what do you 385 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: expect to see out of bow Knicks on Sunday? 386 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 5: Man? I expect to see some rookie moments too. 387 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 6: I mean, we got to praise him for what he 388 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 6: did in college because it happened, but also his preseason 389 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 6: was flawless. I think that out of the quarterbacks drafted 390 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 6: in the first round, he had the best preseason. Yes, 391 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 6: this preseason and things are vanilla, you're going up against 392 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 6: twos and threes, but he did what he was supposed 393 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 6: to do. So I'm expecting this guy to look like 394 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 6: a rookie at times, but also look like a guy 395 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 6: who's played the game for a long time. 396 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 5: So we shall see. 397 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 6: But uh mind we donald it after this young man 398 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 6: confuse him and one or two interceptions would would be 399 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 6: uh would be favorable for us? I think so for 400 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 6: sure for Chefs five, Yeah, what last year was it? 401 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 6: Last year the Giants four sacks, ten, ten, my bad 402 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 6: shirt six. 403 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 5: It was a lot, Yeah, it was a lot. 404 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 4: To the record. 405 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 6: Let's talk about our quarterback, Gino smith Man. This is 406 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 6: his third year as the starting quarterback here. His twenty 407 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 6: twenty two is better than his twenty twenty three, but 408 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 6: he still did some good things. He led five game 409 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 6: winning drives. My man was clutched. His seven goal ahead 410 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 6: touchdown passes in the fourth quarter or overtime were the 411 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 6: most in NFL history. He finished the year completing three 412 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 6: hundred and twenty three of four ninety nine for thirty 413 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 6: six hundred and twenty four yards, twenty touchdowns, and nine interceptions. 414 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 5: How much better can this man be with this old line? 415 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 6: You bring in some veterans, Lincoln Thomason, you got Connor Williams, 416 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 6: you bring back Cross, you draft Christian Haynes. I'm tired 417 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 6: of the carousel on this offensive line. But if that's 418 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 6: gonna happen with this group, I feel better about it 419 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 6: because of the mix of the old and the young. 420 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean obviously, and then you get a Lucas 421 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: eventually going. 422 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 5: To come back at some point. 423 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 3: So while we're only returning, I believe for this first 424 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 3: game one starter in Charles Cross because it was you 425 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 3: had Evan Brown starting at center, Damian Lewis, Phil Haynes, 426 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: and a Lucas Abe got hurt in that first game 427 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 3: last year. 428 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a different new look line. But 429 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 4: I love it. Manlancoln Thomlinson one of the smartest dudes 430 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 4: I've ever met. Mind you, that dude's going to be 431 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 4: a doctor. 432 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: All the crazy things there, and just you bring in 433 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: to Connor Williams, who's a baller, and then Christian Haynes 434 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 3: is going to eventually elevate Anthony Bradford's in there doing so. 435 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: I feel good about this offensive line and where it 436 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 3: could be. And I think Geno Smith could have a 437 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: big year. And then of course Ryan Grubby in the 438 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: quarterback player. 439 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 6: Football Focus has some dudes like twenty seventh in the game. 440 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 6: I like it, Thereyton, I like it keep Peyton because 441 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 6: these boys are going to play some good football. 442 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 3: And while we're talking about the offensive side of the ball, 443 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 3: let's get into the running back Ken Walker right, also 444 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 3: Zach Sharburn and Kenny Mckinjosh. I We've talked about it, 445 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: but I really want to look at ken Walker because 446 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: I feel like he his poison to have a pretty 447 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 3: good season this year. His first two years in a 448 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 3: Seahawk uniform. Twenty twenty two was when he was drafted. 449 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 3: Last year, he was just under one thousand yards, had 450 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: nine total touchdowns. His rushing numbers were slightly down from 451 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 3: the year before, but we still saw that home run 452 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: ability and that came out. He had a long and 453 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 3: forty five on the ground. 454 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 4: He had that. 455 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 3: Sixty four yard pass reception touchdown. I think get a 456 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: little dump back to the flat against the Commanders. Took 457 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: that to the house. And he ranks fifte in the 458 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: NFL since twenty twenty two with five games of at 459 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 3: least two rushing touchdowns. And I know this is the 460 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: season where people talk about how good of shape people 461 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: are in right, right, But when you look at. 462 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 4: Ken Walker, Mike like you look at he said, there's 463 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 4: no way you don't rush for fifteen hundred yards. 464 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 5: That's it. 465 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: You look at it, you say, that's fifteen hundred yards. 466 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: Bank it, write it down, do what you gotta do. 467 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 3: The man looks phenomenal. His hair is a little different. 468 00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: He cut the hair. 469 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 6: It's a new look, can I say something about that, 470 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 6: say something. If you got a hair, don't cut it, 471 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 6: because some of us ain't blessed like that. 472 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 5: All Right. 473 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 6: I saw Ken walk. I go, Ken, you do you baby, 474 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 6: but keep the hair. But if he goes out and 475 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 6: the balls out and he's bald, and then then I'll 476 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 6: shut my mouth. 477 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 5: But maybe that's just me being jealous. 478 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 3: I think you're a little hurt. But we used to 479 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: like your hair back in the day. Yeah, for allow 480 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 3: Kok fans out there, remember bump with hair, good thing 481 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: twenty years ago. Damn it almost anyway. No, but Ken, 482 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: he's been crushing it. Career numbers, He's got nine hundred 483 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: and one, nine hundred and fifty five yards, seventeen touchdowns. 484 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 3: I just think he's a guy that's really going to 485 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: go off this year. And now you enter Ryan Grubb 486 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 3: or we know he did at Washington, right, we know 487 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 3: all the all the dudes playing the NFL, all the receivers. 488 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 3: But he has an offensive line background. He's going to 489 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 3: run the pill and he's made that very evident. They 490 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 3: asked Ken Metcalf about that in his press conference today 491 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: and he's like, no, our foundation is going to be 492 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: running the football, and it's going to start with number nine. 493 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: I think you sprinkle in Zach Starburney, he'll come out 494 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: there and hit you. And then Kenny McIntosh talked about 495 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 3: early he looked great this preseason. 496 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 6: You give him some spin. I think that running back 497 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 6: room can do some damage. Bump, Yeah, it looks good, 498 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 6: It looks good. Didn't see Ken Walker at all this preseason? 499 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 4: Did we a little bit? 500 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 5: A little bit? 501 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 6: Quick saw Zach sharp and they a lot of Kenny 502 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 6: McIntosh really happy for that kid. Just staying mentally engaged 503 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 6: because when you don't get no playing time, you're coming 504 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 6: from Georgia, win the national championships, you get to the 505 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 6: league and you don't touch the rock, it could mess 506 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 6: with you mentally. 507 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 5: So I'm glad he hung in there. But it's all 508 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 5: about knin Man. 509 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 6: Canin is gonna set the tone and I'm glad that 510 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 6: grub came out and said, look, we're gonna run the football. 511 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: Johnson the running back for you to rush for eleven 512 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 6: hundred yards. People forget that. You get Michael Pennigs and 513 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 6: like it makes sense. You see the ball flying everywhere, 514 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 6: you think, oh yeah they passed the football, but they 515 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 6: do run the rock and Grub's gonna set the tone there. 516 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: Man. 517 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 6: All right, let's let's talk about some of these receivers. 518 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 6: I think this is one of the best trios in 519 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 6: the game right now. We got DK, Tyler Lockett, and JSN. 520 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 6: They're going up against that bronkle secondary Pactice Sertain just 521 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 6: got paid highest paid corner in the game ever. Right now, 522 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 6: It's gonna be a nice little matchup. But DK and 523 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 6: Tyler Locke and one of the best duels in franchise history. 524 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 6: DK became the seventh player in franchise history to record 525 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 6: back to back thousand yard seasons. He also became the 526 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 6: third player in NFL history to reach fifty receptions and 527 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 6: nine hundred yards and five touchdowns in each of his 528 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 6: first five seasons. He hanging out with Randy Moss in 529 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 6: AJ Green. That's some great company there. 530 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so any signed me on the list 531 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 3: with those two. I don't even care if my name 532 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: is on the same piece of paper. We're not the 533 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: wrong reasons. I will take it. That's a list I 534 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: want to be on. But you just look at I mean, gosh, 535 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: and then Tyler second player in franchise history, ninety fourth 536 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 3: player in NFL history for with six hundred receptions. 537 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 4: That's a lot. Man moved into second. 538 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: Place in franchise history and receptions six hundred and twelve 539 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 3: yards seven nine hundred and ninety four and ranks second 540 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: in touchdowns. The Ball of Famer of the Go Steve 541 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: Largen is first in every single category. 542 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't even know. 543 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 3: If DJ can catch him, because what Largent was doing 544 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 3: is he's otherworldly. So being second to that man is 545 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: totally fine. But and he's just six yards away from 546 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 3: being a second player in franch history in one hundred 547 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: and thirteenth player in NFL history with eight thousand receiving yards. 548 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 3: Bump Lockett has had a quiet preseason mainly because they 549 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: want to keep this guy healthy. 550 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 4: We know what he can do. He doesn't need to 551 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 4: prove anything in this league coming into year ten. 552 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 3: We know what he can do, So Bump, I'm just 553 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: really excited to see what these guys can do. And 554 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: then you add in JSN solid rookie campaign. Remember he 555 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: started the year with a broke kind of a mess 556 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: up risk, but he found his way towards the end 557 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 3: of the season, had some game winning touchdowns, finished the 558 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: year you know, sixty three receptions, second most receptions in 559 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 3: for a rookie and franchise history bump. So, as you mentioned, 560 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 3: these three receivers can't be the best in the NFL. 561 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: You add Ryan Grubb, Gino Smith, I'm excited about what 562 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: they can do. 563 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 6: Metcalf has sixty six for eleven hundred, Lockett at seventy 564 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 6: nine for eight to ninety four. Then you sprinkle in 565 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 6: the rookie last year JSN sixty three for six twenty eight. 566 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 6: There's gonna be an upticking all those numbers. I believe, 567 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 6: And I'm not just saying that because I support the Hawks. 568 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 6: I'm looking at preseason, what happened in practice, the way 569 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 6: Grub is calling things, and I think the sky's a 570 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: limit for this group. 571 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: Man, they could be. 572 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 6: Now, there's only a couple of the trios that I 573 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 6: think about that can rock with these guys. You got 574 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 6: one in Houston that's pretty good. Yeah, you got one 575 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 6: in Philly that's pretty good. And then the Dolphins have 576 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 6: a trio that's pretty good. But Beckham's banged up. So 577 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 6: we'll see. These three can be right out there with them, 578 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 6: and if Gino spins it, the ole line protects, ken 579 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 6: Walker runs all comes together boom division. 580 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 4: I don't get it. I hope so. And they're going 581 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 4: against this never defense bump. We talked about it. 582 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: They struggled last year, man, and it was headlined by 583 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: that seventy to twenty beat down in Miami. I almost 584 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: forgot about that. Yeah, and I think that really for 585 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 3: anyone who knows anything about math. I'm not a good 586 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 3: math guy, but when you throw one of those in, 587 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: it's like your GPA. 588 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 4: I think I've talked about this on this show. 589 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 3: I had one really bad semester sophomore of college, huh, 590 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: and mycume GPA was messed up right, never got back. 591 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 3: I never got it fixed, even though I was okay. 592 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: I was a three point zero for most of it, 593 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 3: but that one sophomore year messed up. That really hurt 594 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 3: the Denver stats last year, giving up a seventy burger 595 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: against Miami. 596 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: But they just struggled. 597 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: They're twenty second overall against the past, and now they're 598 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 3: having to replace Justin Simmons, all safety, who did a 599 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: lot of good things for them. 600 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 4: He's now in Atlanta. 601 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: But they just got the man you just talked about 602 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: who got paid Patrick Sutan, the second father of Is 603 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 3: played in the league as well in twenty twenty two. 604 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: Not that it's apples and Oranges Termber comparison, but DK 605 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: only had thirty six yards in that game, so he's 606 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 3: a guy that can obviously play and be physical and 607 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 3: do some good things. They're gonna line up essentially a 608 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: rookie at the other corner, which I'm interested at. 609 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 4: Riley Moss. He the kid out of Iowa. 610 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: He mainly played special teams last year, but everything I'm 611 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 3: hearing coming out of Denver is that he's probably gonna 612 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: start at corner. 613 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 4: Yep, So that's a matchup. 614 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: I want to see the Seahawks exploit test this man, 615 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: because not that DK or anyone's afraid of certain and 616 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: they're gonna throw the ball who's open. But I feel 617 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: like we can get after Moss, who's really under the 618 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: bright lights for the first time at this level and 619 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: under fire. 620 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 4: So I'm excited about what it can be. Bump. 621 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 3: But man, let's tell everybody you've been waiting for, how 622 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: are the Seahawks gonna win this game? 623 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 4: Pat the victory. 624 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Dickson puts 625 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: it there that kick is away. 626 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 4: If that kick. 627 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 3: Is gun, good, say off when bitch. 628 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: Gun, it's a pass, it's a victory On Hawke Talk. 629 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 6: Here's how the Seahawks are gonna get this thing done. 630 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 6: It all starts with Mike McDonald. He's been preaching it 631 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 6: from the top of Mount Rain near. I want to 632 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 6: play a style of football that people just don't want 633 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 6: to play against. 634 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 5: And what does that look like. 635 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 6: Is efficient a line of sign execut They're gonna pop 636 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 6: you in the mouth. They're gonna take advantage of every opportunity. 637 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 6: I can't wait to see how fast these guys fly around, 638 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 6: because we got to see the starters for a little bit. 639 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 6: If there's anyone that we saw on the defense side 640 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 6: of the ball, we saw the starters more than the 641 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 6: offense side of the ball. And those guys were flying 642 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 6: around with a sprinkle of twos and threes in there. 643 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 6: So I can't wait to see what it looks like 644 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 6: when they're all out there at the same time. And 645 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 6: then defensively, the Seahawks need to make the young QB 646 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 6: look like a young quarterback, make him uncomfortable. 647 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 5: You gotta blitz him, you gotta stun him. Do all 648 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 5: of that stuff. 649 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 6: Make him use those sixty one games right he had 650 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 6: in college and put him to the test. 651 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, and stop the run. Right. 652 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: The Broncos are very young, right back. They let go 653 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 3: of some veteran guys, and this is where the Seahawks 654 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: really got hurt last year. They got beat up in 655 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 3: the run game all season long. And I think this 656 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 3: is one of the biggest improvements that this defense will 657 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 3: look to make in twenty twenty four, especially with Mike 658 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 3: McDonald coming in. I feel like there's a big emthaths 659 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 3: on that they're gonna stop the run. That's what they 660 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: need to do on Sunday. There should be no big 661 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 3: numbers in the run game for the Broncos. And then 662 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 3: I said, at the beginning of the podcast, Unleash Mike 663 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 3: McDonald his genius. 664 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 4: Right, we've heard about it. 665 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: We're finally gonna see it preseasons vanilla, right, Mike McDonald's 666 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 3: it was French vanilla.
