Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What's Up? Twelve? 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: This is Michael Bumpus along with Nason Shoby and Missus 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: Hawk Talk Recape Dish, and the Seahawks beat the forty 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: nine ers thirty seven to twenty seven, a double digit win, 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: something we ain't used to. Well, Before we talk about 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: other specifics, Let's get into the trenches with Ray Roberts. 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawk 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Ray Roberts. What hell, Ray? What's that big dog? How 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: you doing? No? Six and one victory Monday? Life is good, man, 18 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: So let's let's get right into it now. Running back 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: wise the Seahawks are banging the right Chris Chris Carson 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: is gone, Homer's gone. You still have Penny who's working 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: his stuff out. You had to rely on rookie DJ Dallas. 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: What did you see out of the young fellow? You 23 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: know what I saw? Uh? You know, I was thinking 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: about this, uh this morning, and I didn't really think 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: it through this way yesterday. But all of the production 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: from the running back position was out of the game. 27 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean every you know, most of the you know, 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: probably ninety nine percent of the yardish gained and all 29 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: that the scoring from the running back position was out 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: of the game. And so to be down to one 31 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: running back who's a rookie, who's a late round draft pick, uh, 32 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, and still trying to just learn how to 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: be a pro in the shortened preseason and all that 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. There was a lot on his shoulders. 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: And the numbers are not spectacular, but you can see 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: his confidence grow as the game went on. His ability 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: to put his foot in the ground and find the 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: hole and just kind of get the yardage that was there, 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: His ability to catch the ball out of the backfield 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: and pick up yards that way, The fact that he 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: scored two touchdowns. So the production from that position, you know, 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: from a yard yards perspective, may not have been where 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: you wanted, but from the putting points on the board perspective, 44 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: it was right in line with what the guys have 45 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: been doing that we're playing in front of him, Carson 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: and Carlos had and the guys, And so I was 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: really pleased at not just his approach to the day, 48 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: but also the Seahawks approach to the day. So they 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: didn't really shy away from continuing to use the run 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: as a threat, and I think that was important to 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: to the Seaffs really overcoming all of the absences they 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: had on the offense, So throwing short of passes still, 53 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, handing the ball off to the rookie, letting 54 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: him kind of get a feel for the game and 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: what he could do and what he could provide for 56 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: that day. I thought, you know that it was a 57 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: pretty good approach. It was effective, even though it wasn't, 58 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: like I said, spectacular, but it was effective into allowing 59 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: them to play the type of offense they wanted to play. Yeah, 60 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you, right, I think people get caught up 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: in the numbers, right, He didn't rush for one hundred yards. 62 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: He didn't do this, But what he did do was 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: score two touchdowns he can chigue in the past game. 64 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: And then he scored a run too. But that's kind 65 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: of like what Chris Carson has been doing this far 66 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: so far this year anyway, right, not big numbers, but 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: he's getting into the end zone. Well, I know, at 68 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: one point, Carson was Averton right around thirteen carries and 69 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: around sixty yards a game. And so the fact that 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: DJ Dallas, you know, he had eighteen carries for for 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: forty one yards, that's still kind of right in the 72 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: same vein of what they were asking Chris Carson to do. 73 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: You know. Obviously Chris at this point for is a 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: bigger threat running the ball and breaking tackles and and 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: and really playing physical game. But then in the passing game, 76 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, Chris, the first handful of touchdowns he had 77 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: this year were receptions, and so then DJ was able 78 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: to come in and replicate that as well. And so 79 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: for for a guy who, like Pete said, was taken off, 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: they had to slow him down from taking all the 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: reps in practice, uh this week for it to be 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: his first start, for him to have to carry that 83 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: much responsibility. I thought that he that he represented himself 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: well and and then even on top of that, I 85 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: feel like the Seahawks showed confidence, uh and what they're 86 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: capable of going on office and what he can bring 87 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: to the to the table to help them do that. 88 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: So I was I was really pleased with what the 89 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: what the game plan once they got it going, I'm 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: with you where I was pleased as well, also pleased 91 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: with the play of this offensive line. They're missing Mike 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: you Potty for the second straight game. What improvements have 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: they made this year as opposed to last year. Well, 94 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: to me, they're younger, and they're more athletics, you know, 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: like DJ Flucker is a is a great dude, like 96 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: straight line blocker. If we're just gonna maul people and 97 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: just make it a physical you know, not worry about 98 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: your technique type of game, but just get your man 99 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: type of game, He's perfect for that. Uh. Upati is 100 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: the same way. He's not as athletic as it used 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: to be. He's more of a of a maler. But 102 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: now you have dudes and Aaron Simmons who's an athletic, 103 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: big strong dude. Damian Lewis, who is a spectacular rookie 104 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: guard who is, like Pete said, they stuck him in 105 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: with the starting group from at the first day of camp, 106 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: and he has to look back and he's just kept 107 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: getting He keeps getting better and better and better. And 108 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: then at the right tackle spots, um, you know, with 109 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: Shale over there, this is just way more consistency. Obviously, 110 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: you guys know that I love Jermaine Effetti like I've 111 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: always been a fan of his and I wish him well. 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: I talked to him a lot, but he was just 113 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: really inconsistent over there. You didn't know what you're gonna get. 114 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: You didn't know if you're going to get the big, 115 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: strong dominating a Fetti or the one that had was 116 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: riddled in penalties or misassignments, so what have you. And 117 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: so Shell has really done a really good job quietly 118 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: of just calming that side of the ball down and 119 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: uh and so I think that out of all the 120 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: offensive linement, he might be the one that's been overlooked 121 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: the most just because he's been so steady. And then 122 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: Postic I think has benefited from being healthy, but also 123 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: planned between two guards that can really play football that 124 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: can that can really like shore up his weaknesses as 125 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: it relates to like some of the power that he 126 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: brings to the table. He's always going to be a 127 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: great technician. He's always going to be able to communicate uh, 128 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, uh to the quarterback and offensive line where 129 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: they're going and with the linebackers and this, that and 130 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: the other thing. His biggest question had always just been 131 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: planned with that kind of power and strength, and so 132 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: he's getting to that place where he's able to do 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: that also with the health of these two guards. And 134 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: so if you look at the Pro Football Focus ratings, 135 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: we've had more linemen in the top ten grades, uh 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: in these first you know, six or seven games, and 137 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: they had all of last year, you know, last last week, 138 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: I think in the top ten tackles for a win. 139 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Raid in pass detection Shell was number ten. Duwayne Brown 140 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: was somewhere like in four or five at one week 141 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: with the with the run block in success, Damian Lewis 142 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: was like in the was in the top five you know, 143 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: guards in that situation to already kind of establishing himself 144 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: as one of the more productive guards in the league, 145 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, and then posting has just been done and 146 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, Dwayne Brown is Dwayne Brown, and then and 147 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: then Posting has just been doing a really steady job 148 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: of holding holding down the middle of that offense, which 149 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times in pass detection, that is maybe 150 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: the most important piece. So when these outside rushers are 151 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: closing in on the quarterback and you get step up 152 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: and still have room to throw the ball, that is 153 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: all the doings of the of the center and the 154 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: two guards, and they've done a great job with that. Well. 155 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: That is refreshing to hear, right because we know these 156 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: last what few years have been rough on this offensive line, 157 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: and they've been getting a lot of criticism. So it's 158 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: nice to hear that they are producing and they're taking turns. 159 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: They're not like depending on one guy. Granted, everyone has 160 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: to be consistent on that line, but it's nice to 161 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: hear that guys are stepping up. Now, let's talk about 162 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: DK metcalf best game of his career on Sunday, and 163 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: that's following a performance by Tyler Lockett the week before 164 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: where he had fifteen catches, two hundred yards and three touchdowns. 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: How nice is it to have a one two combo 166 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: where you don't know where the ball is going to 167 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: go each week. It can be someone else leading a charge. Well, 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. And if you're Russell Wilson, you 169 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: know you have to just be in heaven because for 170 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: so long, you know, you may have only had you know, 171 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, one guy that you were really relying heavily on, 172 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: whether it was Doug Baldwin or you know, it became 173 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: tied to Lockett for a while before DKA came. And 174 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: now really truly you have three or four receivers that 175 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: he can you know, he can throw it to the 176 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: open dues. So you have DK Metcalf, you have Tyler Locket, 177 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: you have h David Moore, you have UM Dwayne Uh. 178 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: Then you have the running back side of the backfield. 179 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: So from a from a passing offensive perspective, uh, I mean, 180 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is in heaven right now. And then you 181 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: have a guy like DK who can take you know, 182 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: a seven yard any pass, so so him, no matter 183 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: what the distance, he can take it to the house. 184 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: You know. And and and I will be the first 185 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: to say that, uh, you know, I don't know that. 186 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: I was a big fan of DK metcast before they 187 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: drafted him, just based on what I saw like in college. 188 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: He looked like the one receiver and one route type 189 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: of dude. He seemed to be injured quite a bit. 190 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't winning a whole lot of the contested uh 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: fifty fifty jump balls. Uh just wasn't really using his 192 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: size the way I thought he should use it. But man, 193 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: this dude has come in and done nothing but outwork 194 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: every single person and to to to build himself into 195 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: a really complete receiver. Even you notice like yesterday where 196 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: he was using his hands catching the ball as opposed 197 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: to using his body in his arms. So every single week, 198 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: this dude is showing you something different that he's improved 199 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: on that you can tell he's been working on and 200 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: then and then also just shows his determination to be 201 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: the best. And right now, if you look around the league, 202 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: you cannot tell me you can't point to one receiver 203 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: and say that dude is one hundred percent better than 204 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. That dude is right up there in the 205 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: conversation with all the with all the receivers that he's 206 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: catching the long you know, go routes, he's catching slant routes, 207 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: he's catching those deep ends, deep outs like he's doing 208 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: it all and so the dude has really worked himself 209 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: into quite the receiver, and it just has to be 210 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: awesome for for a guy like Russell to go like, well, 211 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: you know today, you know, if they're taking away DK, 212 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: then Tyler can put up one hundred and fifty. If 213 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: they're taking away Tyler, then you know, maybe you know 214 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: more can get get a seventy or eighty yards and 215 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So it's just it's just great to be 216 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: able to break the huddle and know that you can 217 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: just throw it to the open dude, and you have 218 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: a lot of dudes to get open. It's nice to 219 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: have those weapons on all offense. Now, let's quit the 220 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: offensive love affair. This defense needs some attention. They probably 221 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: played the best game they have all year in the 222 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: third quarter. I believe they held the forty nine is 223 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: to under four yards under four yards in the third quarter. Yes, 224 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: they gave up a lot of yards in the fourth, 225 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: but I feel like they were more in a prevent 226 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: type defense. Don't let them score the big play, give 227 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: them a lot of space. What'd you see out of 228 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: this defense? Right? You know what I saw was Bobby Wagner. 229 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, like this defense even when you know the 230 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: leagion the boom was back that during their thing. The 231 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: real heart, the heartbeating like you know, like I would say, 232 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: temperature check on this defense was always Bobby Wagner. He 233 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: was a dude in the middle calling the plays orchestrating 234 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: that he's a quarterback on defense, you know, and in 235 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: particular in the front seven is where he you know, 236 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: obviously does all his work. And so the thing that 237 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: I really like is that you could see the bubbling 238 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: of frustration and Bobby Wagner after every game and having 239 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: to answer all the questions about all the yardage and 240 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do and how are you gonna 241 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: do it? And then last week for him to really 242 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: just come out and like vent some of his frustrations 243 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: and say what needs to happen, but then to actually 244 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: go into the into the game and make that happen. 245 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: To look like the Bobby Wagner that we noted that 246 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: he's capable of, like the top linebacker in the league, 247 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: the ninety nine Madden rating that the gold fleets that 248 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: you get for doing all that stuff. All of that 249 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner showed up yesterday the way he his effectiveness 250 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: effectiveness and blitzing the quarterback like guys was saying, like 251 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: he was always good for four or five sacks a year. 252 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: Yesterday he looked like that dude where he had good moves. 253 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: He doesn't just rush and run into running backs for centers. 254 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: He rushes with a plan and uses his hands and 255 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: does pass rush moves. And he was able to get 256 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of sacks yesterday and a lot 257 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: of pressures on the quarterback. And that set the tempo 258 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: for the entire defense to me. And uh, and you know, Dave, 259 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Paul Moyer had him as his key hawk, 260 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: and he showed up as the key hawk because he 261 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: set the temple for the whole day. And so then 262 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: you look at the rest of the defense and uh, 263 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: you know, all the best missing pieces that were there. 264 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers probably had one of his more solid games 265 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: of his career here. Uh, the kid Reed came in 266 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: off the bench and got an interception against his old 267 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: team and also got some pressure on the quarterback the 268 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: way he was blitzing off the side. Sullivan or old Sullivan, 269 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: the kid that was a tight end receiver. Now they 270 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: moved into a defensive and first play the game. Of 271 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: of his play, he gets in on the tackle in 272 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: the backfield. So there was a lot of people that 273 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: kind of took the challenge from Bobby Wagner and showed 274 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: up and played football. And I think you couldn't ask 275 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: for any of any better performance than what they did yesterday. 276 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm with you. It was a complete team win. You 277 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: had a turnover on special teams, you had the defense 278 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback, and then you had the same 279 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: old recipe on offense with Russell Wilson leading the charge, 280 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: and you had a rookie running back really make his debut. 281 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Was fun to see as usual, Big Ray, appreciate you 282 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: taking time out of your day. I appreciate it, man, 283 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 1: And just one other just shout out to to just 284 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: Shotty because he's done a really good job of commending 285 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: the offense and calling his plays, uh, picking the right 286 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: plays at the right time, targeting, you know, finding ways 287 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: to get d open when he was kind of shut 288 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: down last week, finding ways to get the ball to 289 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: tie to lock his hand, including David Moore. Uh. In 290 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: the offense. I just think he's done a really good 291 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: job of orchestrating the offense this year. Big ups, Shotti. 292 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: Appreciate you, Ray Yeah. Third, All right, now we know 293 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: that the Hawks beat the forty nine is thirty seven 294 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: to twenty seven. But now we're gonna dig into it 295 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: and tell you exactly what happened. What had happened. Now, 296 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: see what had happened at first, what had happened was undo. 297 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: What had happened was buff What happened the Seahawks came 298 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: out and showed they are on a path to own 299 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: the NFC West, beating the forty nine ers thirty seven 300 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: twenty seven. And let me tell you something, man, the 301 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: way that game started, I was not comfortable. It was rough. 302 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean Arizona game offense came out, guns blaze and 303 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: went down the field one of the best drives you're 304 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: ever going to see to start a game. This week. 305 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: It was back to back drives coming up third and eighteen, 306 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: third and twenty two. The offense is a completely out 307 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: of scence starting the game. But man, they tore it 308 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: up after that, scoring on six or their next eight drives. 309 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: But Bump, it's all about the defense today. The defense 310 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: has been getting crucified all season long. If I hear 311 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: someone talk about, how are the worst defense in the 312 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: history of the NFL one more time. I'm gonna I 313 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: know what the stats say. It just drives me insane 314 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: because these guys are too good. But it was great 315 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: to see them come out and show, at least through 316 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: three quarters what they can be despite how many guys 317 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: weren't playing. Yeah. I loved the aggressiveness on defense, the stunts, 318 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: the blitz is. I mean, I think I heard brock 319 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: you would say this morning that they pressured on fifty 320 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: four percent of their snaps. I think that's what you 321 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: have to do with this defense. You have to find 322 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: a way. If you're not able to get after the 323 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: quarterback with four guys, send five, six, seven, and rely 324 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: on this back end to get or done. You mentioned 325 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: that the first two series were rough. Your first play 326 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: is a negative play. Then you try to throw a 327 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: screen that's a negative play. You're back to when you're 328 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: backed up inside your five. Your playbook shrinks. You go 329 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: from this this big bible of plays to cliff notes, 330 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: a set of plays that you have, so that has 331 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: to be tough on Shotty. At that point, you're just 332 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: trying to get positive yards and switch the field with 333 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: a Michael Dickinson punk. Yeah, no, Like you said, it's tough, 334 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: and you can come into the game, you can have 335 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: every place scripted for that first drive, and you get 336 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: a negative played in a holding call and you come 337 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: up second and eighteen. It's hard. It's hard to keep going. 338 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: But more on that defense. The final number three hundred 339 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: fifty yards given up. Okay, that's not horrible. That's not 340 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: great either, but it doesn't tell four hundred. It's not 341 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: four hundred, thank you very much. It it's definitely not. 342 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: It was still their best performance, but through three quarters, 343 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he scores twenty seven to seven, they were dominating. 344 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: That was the first time I've seen all year the 345 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: opposing offense completely out of what they wanted to do 346 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: and just looked flustered. Yeah. One pass defended last week 347 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: against their Zona Cardinals. Five passes defended this week against 348 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, and they didn't throw it as much. 349 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: That is refreshing. You got guys like DJ Reid making plays. 350 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers had a game. This was the type of 351 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: game Trey Flowers needed. People are so ready to give up, 352 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: give up on this, dude. I'm like, come on, man, 353 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: you don't just there's no loyalty, be a bit more 354 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: loyal twelves. Give this guy chance. He stepped up when 355 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: he needed to, got his fingertips on a couple of passes. 356 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: I was happy to see twenty one do his thing. Yeah, 357 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: and people forget first of all, he was a converted 358 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: safety and started for this football team for two seasons. Okay, yes, 359 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: he's had a couple of rough games to start this year, 360 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: but it was great to see him get a couple 361 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: of passes, defend, give up nothing over the top, do 362 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: everything the coaching staff was asking him to do. So 363 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: it's a great confidence builder to help depth in that 364 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: secondary man. The Hawks shut the rundown, holding the forty 365 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: nine US to fifty two yards, rushing just two point 366 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: four yards to carry. Yes, they were banged up, Wilson 367 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: wasn't there. They had McKinnon back there and Hacy the rookie, 368 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: but every running back seems to produce in this offense. 369 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: So good for the Hawks controlling the run game and 370 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: making it making it making Jimmy have to make plays, 371 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: and at the end, Jimmy didn't make too many players. 372 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: It was the backup Nick Mullins who came in in 373 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and was throwing the ball all across 374 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, if you look at it, Jimmy really struggled. 375 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: I mean he throughout that game. He only had he 376 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: went like eleven for fourteen or fifteen, only threw for 377 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: under one hundred yards, one interception, no touchdowns. And like 378 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: we said, that was the key to the game. Get 379 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: pressure on Jimmy Garoppo, which they did. Three sacks, eight 380 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, and he's gonna throw the ball. He did 381 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: that one time. So everything we talked about going in 382 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: the game. It was great to see the guy execute. Man. 383 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: It was a physical game too. Dave Wyman said he 384 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: a physical game with a capital F is what he said. 385 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: That's the type of game they needed. That's what they got. 386 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: You never want to see guys get hurt. But Coleman 387 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: was out Garoppolo, Kittle and Pennance. It wasn't even dirty plays. 388 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: They're just playing football. Cody Barton going around smacking dudes. 389 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: It was nice to see this defense kind of add 390 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: something to their identity, which is physicality. Oh yeah, first 391 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: play the game, Quadri Dicks comes out and just knock 392 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: somebody out right, and then you have Bobby Wagner blitzen 393 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: and doing all that. Everything he was doing, Cody Barton 394 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,239 Speaker 1: run down special teams and knock somebody out. So it's 395 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: just good to see that popping. They're thinking about being 396 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: at Century Link with no fans there, we can hear 397 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: all of that in the past. We're definitely popping all 398 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: game for sure. And we can't forget the offensive line. 399 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: We just talked to Ray Roberts about them. They had 400 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: another dominant performance. Yes, Russell got sacked twice, but it 401 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: seemed like for the most part he had time to 402 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: do what he wants to do. When you see DK 403 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: run a host comeback, that is a long developing route, 404 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: but that means that old line is one one thousand, two, 405 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: one thousand and three. They're holding this defensive line in 406 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: creating time for Russell Wilson to work. When I see 407 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: long developing routes like that execute flawlessly, you gotta give 408 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: love to the big men up front. Yeah, And like 409 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: I said, it's always been a kind of an achilles heel, 410 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: at least to people outside this building about our offensive line. 411 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: So it's great to see that the offensive line has 412 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: now become one of the strengths on this team. So 413 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: they're playing really well keeping Russell upright for the most 414 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: part in this offense is rolling number one offensive the league, 415 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: number one in the league. Baby. All right, let's talk 416 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: about the guys who were making plays in our playmakers segment. Playmakers, Well, 417 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: there's only one place to start, and everyone's going going 418 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: with right here at number three. Russell Wilson's still just 419 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: showing he's an MVP talent. He is the MVP of 420 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: the National Football League. At this moment. He was twenty 421 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: seven for thirty seven, two hundred and sixty one yards 422 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: and four touchdowns and more importantly, zero interceptions. Russell's balling out. 423 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: It was just great to see him bounce back. And 424 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: I always hate to say bounce back as if he 425 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: played horrifically last week. He didn't. He still been over 426 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: three hundred yards, three touchdowns. He just had a couple turnovers, 427 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: was on the same page and a couple of plays. 428 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: Tried to fource some things there. But it was great 429 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: to see him bounce back and kind of let everyone know, Okay, 430 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: you guys are talking a little bit, but I'm still 431 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: that guy. I'm still that dude. Still that dude. Russell 432 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: Wilson has twenty six touchdowns this season after four yesterday. 433 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: The only player NFL hit with more through the first 434 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: seven games of the season was Tom Brady in two 435 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: thousand and seven with twenty seven. Is that the year 436 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: he threw like fifty those things? Yeah, that's the year 437 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: he set the record. So him and Russ were actually 438 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: tied through six they both had twenty two, and then 439 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: apparently in Week eight in two thousand and seven, Brady 440 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: went off for five. I was hoping at the end 441 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: of the game when Russ hit pocket that he was 442 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: going to get to the end and put it across. 443 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: But still, I mean, four intercepts, it's twenty six touchdowns. 444 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be straight man that that's a solid 445 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: season for most quarterbacks. Yeah. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers had twenty 446 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: six touchdowns last year and he's considered one of the 447 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in this league. Russell's playing at a level 448 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: we've never seen. Yeah, and it seems like every year 449 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: he adds something to his game. And when you give 450 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: him the weapons that he has and you allow him 451 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: to really take control of football games, I think this 452 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: is what we're gonna see. Russell Wilson is also the 453 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: third player NFL history to reach two hundred and fifty 454 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: touchdown passes in his first nine seasons, joining Peyton Manning 455 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: and Dan Marino Hall of Fame. I mean, it's if 456 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: you're not talking about Russell Wilson going to the Hall 457 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: of Fame at this point, you're a straight up hater. 458 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: Russell is one of the best to do it. The 459 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: best Seahawk quarterback of all time, easily, no question about it. 460 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: Every time we talk about a new stat a new 461 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: record that he's breaking, he's only on the list with 462 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: Hall of famers. So I mean his trajectory's obviously to 463 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: being a gold jacket. I mean his four touchdowns zero 464 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: picks yesterday, this was the tenth four touchdown zero hit 465 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: game in his career. Only seven other NFL quarterbacks have 466 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: ever done that, to done that ten times, So Russell 467 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: Wilson is just balling out. And it's it's every week. 468 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: Man run out of words to describe this man. He 469 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: just people need to recognize his greatness and really don't 470 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: take it for granted. Man, because call if you have 471 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: family in Cleveland, ask them about their their quarterback life. 472 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: You know, if you got if you have family in Cincinnati, 473 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: over the years, or Chicago or all these different cities. 474 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: So appreciate what we got with number three. Appreciate, also 475 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: appreciate this young man. DK Metcalf at twelve receptions, career 476 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: high one hundred and sixty one yards, career high in 477 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. This is following Tyler Locket's performance a week before. 478 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: It's nice when you have options, and with DK and 479 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: Tyler Locket, you never know who's going to be the 480 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: guy to shine. DK his very first reception was for 481 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 1: negative yards, negative yards and still bounces back, gets the offense, 482 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: go on with that ten yard dig that he goals, horizontal, 483 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: gets up, Phil, gets those knees up, got a block 484 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: by Jacob Hollister. A lot of people aren't talking about 485 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: that kind of sprung him. D K continues to tear 486 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: this league up well, and it's it's unbelievable. It's everything 487 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: you can do. Like you said, he adds something different 488 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: to his game. And then on Sunday he led all 489 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL with the jack yards He had 490 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: sixty three yards after they catch and he'll do it. 491 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: He'll do it all. If you come tackle, he'll stiff 492 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: arm you to the ground. Go'll shake you up and 493 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: get past you. He'll just muscle through you. So DK 494 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: is just I said it a couple of weeks ago. 495 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: He is superstar status at this point. He is. He 496 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: is that dude, He's that talent. I think he's fourth 497 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: in the league in reception yards. He's in the top 498 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: ten in touchdowns. And the thing about these guys is 499 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: top ten, he's leading, he's leading him unlocket tied up seven, 500 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: leading the league. It's wild. So and here's the thing 501 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: with those two, it's almost like they go in the 502 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: receiver room be like, ah, fam, you got it this week. 503 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: I'll kind of chill like this is your week, and 504 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: then they just go back and forth because honestly, it 505 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: seems like the alternative and if a defense tries to 506 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: take away one, the other one's gonna go off. Yes, sir, 507 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: Another playmaker, DJ Dallas, the rookie, got his first start. 508 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: Eighteen carries, forty one yards, one touchdown, five receptions seventeen yards, 509 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: one touchdown. Let's not focus on the yards. He put 510 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: up fourteen points in this offense. Your running back is 511 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: not gonna have There aren't gonna be many weeks where 512 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: you're running back, it has over a hundred yards. I 513 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: don't think we've had one Hundrey yard rusher yet this year. 514 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: But you want your running backs to produce. How do 515 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: they do that? They score touchdowns? However, they get it 516 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: and they get first downs. That's what DJ did. No, 517 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: And it's like it's a complete different thing. Last week. 518 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: He's kind of thrown in the fire into the game. 519 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: It's another thing to come in and say, hey, you're 520 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy today. You're gonna take all the snaps, 521 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: you gotta be in the playbook now, all the protections, 522 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: things like that. And there there's a couple of mishaps 523 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: early in the game, but he made up for he 524 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: got a couple of touchdowns. So it's just as good 525 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: to see him get his feet way and get that 526 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: real experience because, as you know, you can never have 527 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: enough running back, especially what the Seahawks has gone through 528 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: last year and this year. But man, you want to 529 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: talk about this defense, it starts with number fifty four, 530 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: the best linebacker in the NFL, Bobby Wagner. I mean 531 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: he wags levin tackles, two sacks, four QB hits, three 532 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: tackles for loss and Bobby just came with that fire 533 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: was it was vintage Bobby Wagner and you could just tell. 534 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he was playing with anger. He was pissed off, 535 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: tired talking people talking about his defense. He came out 536 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: there and was just a man possessed and they let him. 537 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: They allowed him to get after the quarterback, but they 538 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: found creative ways for him to give pressure. Bobby's not 539 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: the type of linebacker who wants to just drop into 540 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: zones fight off guards. He wants granted, he can do that, 541 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: and he will do that if he's asked to do that, 542 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: but he wants to get after the quarterback. He wants 543 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: to be aggressive. And it was nice to see the 544 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: old guy I guess he is on this defense really 545 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: be able to let lose. And you saw the passion 546 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: of them after every play. There was passion, there's enthusiasm. 547 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: You have to play with this game with enthusiasm and passion, 548 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: and when you have a guy like Bobby Wagner, let 549 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: him off the leash every now and then let him 550 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: go get the QB. Well, the thing about Bobby Wagner's 551 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: he we've gone away from him the last couple of years, 552 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: but he's probably the best blitzing linebacker in the NFL. 553 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: It seems like every time you send him on a pressure, 554 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: he gets home. And here's the other thing too. If 555 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: you think you're gonna have a running back pick him 556 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: up and blitz pick up good night, that's a rap. 557 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: That is a loss. Every single time that ball's not 558 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: coming out in one second, he's gonna get there. And 559 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Baldinger was breaking this down on his Baldy breakdowns 560 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 1: and he's talked about like bowling pins because on one 561 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: of his second tack he comes through literally knocks three 562 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: guys down, including the left tackle. The running back gets 563 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: off the ground and still gets grappled into the ground. 564 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: So love to see that, love to see him being active, 565 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: and I hope we get to see a lot more 566 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: of that, especially with Jamal Adams coming back. Some things 567 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: that a game doing the blitz game will definitely help 568 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: us with that pressure. Be aggressive, Ken, keep being aggressive. 569 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Another playmaker, DJ Read his first game active with the Seahawks, 570 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: he has six tackles, two passes defended, in an interception 571 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: right after a play that we thought was a turnover 572 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: with the fumble and Ryan Neil touched the ball, but 573 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: he was out of bounce. I forgot who recovered. It 574 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: didn't count. The next play, DJ read all over George Kittle. 575 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: George Kittle slips, he gets his hands on the rock. 576 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: Nice to see, DJ. It seems all you have to 577 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: do is get activated and you're gonna make a play 578 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: on this defense. Sounds like it. I mean, whether it's 579 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Neil, DJ Read, it's literally any person that comes up, 580 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: Totefon Sulivan comes up, makes a play in his first 581 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: NFL play. I mean, it's wild the depth that we've seen, 582 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: because people forget we lost Marquis Player, which was our 583 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: starting Nichols start the year for the year. We lost 584 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Bruce Irving, which was a starting defensive line for us. 585 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: So we've lost a ton of guys. We've been without 586 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams for a long time. We lost Shaquille Griffin. 587 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: We've been incredibly banged up, so that contributes to some 588 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: of the numbers we've seen defensively. But it's good to 589 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: see the depth of these guys are having. Everyone's getting experienced, 590 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: and when their numbers called, they're making plays and making plays. 591 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about these receivers with the receiver 592 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: round up all right, talk to about DK twelve to 593 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: sixty one, two touchdowns along of forty six targeted fifteen times, 594 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: so it's very efficient. Tyler Lockett got going early and 595 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: then kind of faded away. I don't even want to 596 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: call it fade away. He just it just wasn't his 597 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: day to day. He didn't get the targets that DK got. 598 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: He was still four receptions off of five targets thirty 599 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: three yards. Demos swag all. He does score touchdowns. Three 600 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: catches eighteen yards, one touchdown, three for three when it 601 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: comes to targets and receptions DJ Dallas five catches seventeen yards, 602 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: one touchdown. Nick Bullard got into the past game. Big 603 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: first step that was on that that third drive that 604 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: got the offense gone. That was a third down as well. 605 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: He was in for pass pro. The rule is most 606 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: of the time, no one blitzes that running back can release. 607 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: That's what happened. There wasn't a blitz. He released, Russ 608 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: picked him up, he got north south, started to lean forward. 609 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: Nice when you see Nick Bulore on the stat sheet, 610 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: Jacob Hollis for one catch yards and Greg Olds the 611 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: man he had four targets but no catches. But I 612 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: like that he's getting his targets. You gotta keep this 613 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: the defenses honest when they play against the forty nine ers. Okay, 614 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: now we're gonna go to the coach's corner this week. Russell, 615 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 1: Wilson and DK get the offense going with this forty 616 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: six yard touchdown. As they walk the strong safety up 617 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and he does come. Russell looks, 618 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: grows back inside. Paul's caught. It's Metcalf who makes one man? 619 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: Now two men miss thirty twenty five twenty turns of field. 620 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: They don't touch him. Touchdown, Shayhawks. How in the world 621 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: did he tiptoe up the sidelines, two defenders breaking on him, 622 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: and nobody touched him? And DK Metcalf starts far on 623 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: the left, comes all the way across the field and 624 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: scores from forty six south. The Seahawks are on the 625 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: ford first six. Nothing. That was something else. I mean, 626 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: this is a display of speed and athleticism. Because as 627 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: I'm watching, once he caught the balls, like once he 628 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,719 Speaker 1: took two steps, I was like, oh, he might go, 629 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: he might go, and he just hit the jets and 630 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: once he I mean the linebacker who's dropping in his zone. 631 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: Once he doesn't get him and he's coming across the 632 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: field like, oh that's tough now because now you have 633 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 1: guys that had ran routes up the field. Now they 634 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: turn into blockers like you mentioned Jacob Pollister. So it 635 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: was a really great play to see and it just 636 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: shows how I mean DK. Once he gets on his 637 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: horse man goodbye and another great throw by Russell Wilson. 638 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: He led him to the space and that's what good 639 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks do. He could have kept him there, set him down, 640 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: so he gets up field, but no, DK makes the incut. 641 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: Russell takes him where they no where no one is, 642 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: and now that's all this guy given ability. He makes 643 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: one guy miss with a little jazz step, gets around 644 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: the corner, turn on, turns on the jets, DK man, 645 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: I just didn't expect this from this dude. I knew 646 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: he was going to be a solid receiver, but like 647 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier, he's turning into a superstar. Like every kid. 648 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: If you watch football for real, you know who DK 649 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: metcalf is, Oh, no question about. And the thing too, 650 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: is like it's changing how he's defended I mean the secondary. 651 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking with Paul Moore about this last night. 652 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: Is everyone is scared. I mean they're so scared of 653 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: his big playability and beating them over the top, whether 654 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: it's just a go or a deep post or a 655 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: deep over that dbs are open and turning and running. 656 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: So now he can just sit down at fifteen boom, 657 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: find a spot in his zone. So he he's opening 658 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: everything up and defenses are scared. They got to know 659 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: where fourteen is at every time, and then you have 660 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: sixteen now, so it's it's tough on defense. But like 661 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: you mentioned, DK Metcalf is definitely turning that page to superstar. Now, 662 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: we actually saw this formation we did on Sunday like 663 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: a formation. We actually saw this. We don't usually see this. 664 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: What is the nats. Here comes the Seahawk offense onto 665 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: the field and the Vikings defense trudging out there knowing 666 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: that one kneel down and the Seahawks are gonna wind 667 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: the clock down and women this one. It's the victory formation. 668 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk now we call the segment the victory 669 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: forma because that means the Seahawks won the ballgame. But 670 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: as you know, twelves in almost every game we've played 671 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: this year, it has come down to a final play, 672 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 1: so we weren't actually in the victory formation. But on 673 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: Sunday the Seahawks how to convincingly. The Niners came back 674 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: a little bit towards the end, but once we got 675 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: that on site kick, we got on the field, got 676 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: into victory formation, and Russell Wilson got to take some 677 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: knees to steal it out. And for the first time 678 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: all year, when we walked down to our post game set, 679 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: it was a nice, comfortable walk, nothing to worry about. 680 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: Game was in hand, So it feels good. Man. I 681 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: just want to think that the Seattle Seahawks for not 682 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: stressing me the heck out this week, really appreciate it. 683 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: You might have saved a week of my life. I 684 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: feel like I lose a week of my life every 685 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: time these guys play. But this game was all about 686 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: the defense. Yes, Russell had four touchdowns, We're spoiled. We're 687 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: used to Russell balling. Yes, DK balled out. We're spoiled. 688 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: We're used to DK balling. But this defense set the 689 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: tone early, limited the forty nine Ers run game, made 690 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: j Garoppolo look really average. George Kittle the best tight 691 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: end in the game didn't get off. I really appreciated 692 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: the effort by this defense and the scheme drawn up 693 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: by Ken and Pete Carroll. It's just great to see, man. 694 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: It just makes you feel comfortable again. It's getting you 695 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: back to what we're used to seeing. All this, all 696 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: the yards and all the other stuff that we've seen 697 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: so much has just been so not what we've we've 698 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: been accustomed to under Pete Carroll. So it's great to 699 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: see them get back to what we do for most 700 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: part of the game. Also, Russell Wilson, what did DK say? 701 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: The Russell Wilson MVP train is back on track. I 702 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: agree with you. I don't think it was really off, 703 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: but this reminded people like, look, I'm allowed to have 704 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: a mediocre game, but I'm gonna bounce back and toss 705 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, be efficient, spread the love. I love seeing 706 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson play football, and I love his again, his demeanor. 707 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: He's just neutral all day, every day, never too high, 708 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: never too low, spreads the ball around, Demo, got gotta touchdown, DJ, 709 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: gotta touchdown, DK got two all of when everyone's getting 710 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: the rock no, and it's great. Man, It's great when 711 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: you start a press conference and we can talk about 712 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: your suit game with DK and coach can joke around 713 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the most hard at work man and show biz and 714 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: all that stuff, because let me tell you something, man 715 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: winning cures all. And like you said, spreading love DK, 716 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: Tyer Lockett. Either one of these dudes can go off 717 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: at any given time.
