Powered by Seahawks dot Com. I'm 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: Michael bump Is. He is Nasaid Choby, and this is 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Hog Talk Preview week three that Cowboys are coming to town. 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: But before we dive into that, injury updates with Nasad Choby, Well, thanks, 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: bump I wish I had better news, but this injury 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: update is definitely starting on a somber note. He Carroll 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: stepped up to the podium this week and provided updates 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 1: on Bruce Irvin, Marquis Blair, and Philip Dorset. Right off 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the top. Both Bruce and Marquise are gonna have to 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: have surgery, and so that means that they will be 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: done for the season, and which is really a big blow, 20 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: you know, and I know, and a lot of teams 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: lost players this weekend. You know, we certainly felt it 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: with both those guys. Both those guys have a lot 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: to offer your team in their attitude and approach and 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: style of play, and so it'll be difficult to replace 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: those guys. Philip doors Set, we're looking to figure out 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: how to how to work this out. We need to 27 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: give him a break to make sure that his foot 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: is is healed and back. We know he tried to 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: get back this week to play in this pass game 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: and couldn't do it. So we have to give him 31 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: more time than that, and we have to consider what 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: we're doing with that. Philip is not part of this 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: game plan coming up. We're going to rest him for sure. 34 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: Both Irvin and Blair have been placed on IR officially. 35 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: In the Seahawks have called up cornerback Lyndon Stevens and 36 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: defensive tackle Anthony Rush to take their places on the 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: active roster. Phil door Set has also been placed on IR, 38 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: leaving one open roster spot to be filled before Sunday's game. Lastly, 39 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: head go to Pete Carroll gave us. The latest on 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Rashim Green Rashim is he's still kind of in the 41 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: same mode. We haven't turned the corner yet. We'll have 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: to see as this week goes on if he improves 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: enough where he'll be able to play this week. He's 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: not feeling that bad, but he's still got a little 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: something going on that we got to wait through it 46 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: and see if which day it turns, and so we 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: won't know until later in the week. But he hasn't 48 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: been cleared yet for this week, so we'll see what happens, 49 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: all right. The Hawks got it done last week and 50 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: a thriller beat the Pats. Came down to the one 51 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: yard line. LJ. Collier makes a play on Cam Newton 52 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: to seal the deal. But now we got to focus 53 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys. Nas Who's next? Who's next? Who's next? Yeah, 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: Cowboys are coming into town. They're one and one. They 55 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: lost to the Rams in week one. They bounced back 56 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: and beat the Atlanta Falcons in a thriller. Thriller. Now, 57 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: let's throw a funny stat out there. I mean that 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: Falcons are the first team to lose when they're up 59 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: what with three or four turnovers. I don't know the specifics, 60 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: but they're the first team to do what they did 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: out of four hundred and forty tries. And that's never good, right. No, 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: it was something like scoring thirty nine points in all 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: those yards and winning to turnover battle and all of 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: that stuff, and to lose like in that fashion, Man, 65 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: that was bone crushing. I feel for those boys down 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, man, Phil form in Atlanta. But Dak Prescott 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: did his thing. Thirty four for forty seven four to 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: fifty yards, one touchdown, three rushing touchdowns. He is the 69 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: first person in NFL history to throw for over four 70 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards and have three rushing touchdowns. That looks like 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: a running back who played quarterbacks stating right there, that's 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: what that's what we saw. To Dak Prescott, Well, he's 73 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: putting up the numbers, man, and let me tell you something, 74 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: he is campaigning to pay the man. He is a 75 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: He is the real deal. Honestly, like you said, four 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards throwing the ball, three rushing touchdowns. Daka 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: is the real deal, and he just can do it 78 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: in every single form or fashion. He's legit, he's tough 79 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: to tackle, and it's gonna be It's gonna be a 80 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: bear for the Seahawks defense this week. He's tough to tackle, 81 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: and I'm watching film and he's standing in the pocket 82 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: and taking some hits. I mean, they've had five or 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: six just really good hits on Dak Prescott last game. 84 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: And he's standing in there and he's making plays, and 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,559 Speaker 1: we can't forget about Ezekiel Elliott. Twenty two carries eighty 86 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: nine yards, one touchdown. Not a great game, but a 87 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: solid game by Ezekiel Elliott. And just like the Hawks, 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: I guess the previous Hawks, the Dallas Cowboys set everything 89 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: up with the run, especially when you have an old 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: line like they have and a guy like Elliott in 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: the backfield. Absolutely, and even it doesn't really matter who's 92 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 1: playing offensive line for the Cowboys. Honestly, they were missing. 93 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that in man out, but they're missing. 94 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 1: They're starting left Pro Bowl tackle. But they still find 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: ways to get it done. They're one of the most 96 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: talented groups out there. And Zekei Elliott is just I mean, 97 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: speaks for itself. Man. The guy's been doing it since 98 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: he was at Ohio State. A very workman's like game. 99 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: Twenty two carries eighty nine yards, didn't pop, didn't go crazy, 100 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: but still very efficient and helping Dak throw for all 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: those yards. Did you see his new tattoo? I did it? 102 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: Says feed or he was on his stomach? Feed right? 103 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: Eat me, man, need it? Did I see the cereal box? 104 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: Eat him? That's a lot of pressure. You gotta stay 105 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: in shape the rest of your life. You get a 106 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: stomach tattoo. I mean, that's that's a bold that's bold 107 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: right there. It is a bold decision. Luckily he's in 108 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: his twenties, so it's good for now. Hit me back 109 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: in twenty years and see it still looks good. It's 110 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: twenty years. Win tie your thirty four. Like me, man, 111 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: I gotta have to have to put the beer down 112 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: and pick up the trulyes. That's my situation asolutely. All right, 113 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: here we go, ceedee Lamb. The rookie caught six passes 114 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: for one hundred and six yards. I like this kid. 115 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: He works the slot. There's a play that he had 116 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons where he's the bender. It's when 117 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: you're in the transformation, you're the number three receiver closest 118 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: to the tackle. When you are that number three receiver 119 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: and you got verticals, you can bend your route behind 120 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: the linebackers. That's what he did. The run after the 121 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: catch is awesome. I like this, dude, what do you 122 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: see out of him? Well, like you said, he's just 123 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: explosive and he's a workhorse man. He was a dog 124 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: in college and he's showing. He had a decent day. 125 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: I think you have like six catches for like fifty 126 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: nine yards in week one, but last week he really 127 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: showed that he's going to be a part of this 128 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: offense moving forward. All right. Now, the story of the 129 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys was a tale of two halves. Okay, 130 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: this is the drive chart in the first half, first possession, punt, 131 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: second fumble, third fumble or out on downs, fifth fumble, 132 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: and then they got things going in the second half. 133 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott didn't account for any touchdowns in the first half. 134 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Second half, he accounted for four touchdowns. Somehow, some way, 135 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: they got this thing going. Is it more of Dallas 136 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: being nice or is it more Atlanta Falcons just being 137 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons or the Atlanta fffords is what I 138 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: heard sounds during the week. It's it's hard to tell, honestly, 139 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no You're not gonna win football games 140 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: for the most part if you start the game punt, fumble, fumble, downs, fumble. 141 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that is probably one of the worst starts 142 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: I've ever seen in an NFL football game. So it's 143 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: got to be a little both. I mean, I'm starting 144 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: to lean a little bit on the Falcons just what 145 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: we've seen in them so far this season. But then again, 146 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: as we're talking about, these cowboys are super talented, they 147 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: got weapons on offense, and then you flip to the 148 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: second half, touchdown, field goal, touchdown, touchdown downs, touchdown, touchdown, 149 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: field goal. I mean, that is some good production right there, man, 150 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: good production to say the least. Now, they outscore the 151 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: Falcons thirty to ten in the second half and recovered 152 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: an onside kick like I've never seen it before. They 153 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: call it the watermelon kick. You just put the ball 154 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: on the ground, you kick it, it starts to spin. 155 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: It was almost like the spin had the Atlanta Falcons hypnotized, 156 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: they were like, do we jump on the football, Atlanta. 157 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: You can touch the ball within the first ten yards. 158 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: The kicking team cannot touch the ball within ten yards. 159 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: Somebody didn't do their homework. Do you put that on 160 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: the special teams coach on the headcast on the players 161 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: who takes this blame? That just hurts my head. And 162 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: while I think about who's taking the blame, let's hear 163 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: what it sounded like down in Atlanta. So it's a 164 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: two point game with one forty nine to go. Gotta 165 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: be careful this little dribbler down the middle. Now, yeah, 166 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: and the ball is recovered by Dallas. The ball spun around, 167 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta looked at it, it rolled across and Dallas got it. 168 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: You're rolling on the fielders of the team league by Dallas. 169 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: He found it. How in the world Dave Zakis has 170 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: got to dive on the football. Here's the deal, bump. 171 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: So initially you always want to just go after the 172 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: special team's coach, right, yep. But man, at some point 173 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: you're an NFL football player, you gotta make a play 174 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: like you know the rules. Because here's the thing, because 175 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, all week long, special team coaches, every Special 176 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 1: teams meetings, every single morning, and then come towards the 177 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: end of week, come Friday Saturday, they go into situations 178 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: they're saying what happens when this happens, especially on the 179 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: hands team, right, so you have to know that that 180 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: was covered at some point in the week. I think 181 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: honestly the front line just kind of brain farted. But 182 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're the coaching staff, 183 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: so you got to be held accountable. But man, and 184 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: even going back into like the high school days, Man, 185 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: when I was coaching special teams, telling kids you might 186 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: go over something right before the play. If this happens, 187 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: you need to do this, and sometimes it doesn't happen, 188 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: but man, that just, oh god, that just hurts my heart. Man, 189 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: watching that, I feel bad for that special team's coach. 190 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: But he's gonna get all that blame. He's gonna get it. 191 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,239 Speaker 1: They're gonna say he did not relay that message effectively 192 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to where his players were receptive and took the coaching. 193 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: For some reason, they did not take that coaching. I 194 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: do not want to believe that they did not go 195 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: over that scenario. That is basic stuff. I was a 196 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: high school head coach. If that happened, I'm livid. Yeah, 197 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it looked. It just looked like JV football. 198 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: It just looked like a bunch of ninth graders who 199 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: aren't really gonna play varsity football, were on the field 200 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: and didn't know what the heck they would do. Well. 201 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of like in basketball, like 202 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: when you start a second half and then teams kind 203 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: of forget which way they're going. That's kind of what 204 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: it felt like, because the ball was just sitting there, 205 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: and it's been one thing if it was boom boom, 206 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: but the ball just spun and spun and spun. But 207 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, and it was painful. And then unfortunately 208 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: after that, it's set up this game winner. Forty six 209 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: for the win, no time out, good snap, good hold, 210 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: forty six yards, Yes, sir, kiss that pig. The final 211 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: score dabblished forty a lot of thirty nine. Oh, heartbreak hotel, 212 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: art break hotel. All Right, we're gonna we're gonna move 213 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: on from the Falcons. They're they're they're dealing with enough. Now, 214 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: let's talk about the history between the Seattle Seahawks and 215 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. No, your history, so bump. Normally I would 216 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: come out here, I'd have a bunch of clips to 217 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: fire you up about the last time we played this team, 218 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: because hopefully it was a good result. Unfortunately, you and 219 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: we were both there in Dallas the last time the 220 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: Seahawks played. Unfortunately, the last meeting was a heartbreaking twenty 221 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: four to twenty two wild card defeat during the twenty 222 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: eighteen season. I was really disappointing because that team went 223 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: through so much and we had an amazing time in Dallas. 224 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: We were right there, just couldn't quite get it done. 225 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: So unfortunately last meeting didn't go so hot. But look 226 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: at the series record. Dallas lead to series eleven and nine. 227 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: But prior to that, the Seahawks won earlier in twenty 228 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: twenty four thirteen here at Central Link Field. So that 229 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: was the last time these two teams matched up in Seattle. 230 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a battle. I mean it was 231 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: a battle at the AT and T Stadium when we 232 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: went a couple of years ago. It was gonna be 233 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: a battle this time. If both teams are playing at 234 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: a high level offense, high level offensively right now. Defensively, 235 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: there are some things that they need to fix. So 236 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: my I'm anticipating a shootout when it comes to Seahawks 237 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: versus Dallas. I'm gonna say thirty plus points each team. 238 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: But I'll say that prediction for the Sunday. Uh yeah, 239 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: you need all the help predicting scores, you know, man, 240 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm so good at it. Something to be desired for you. Bump. 241 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: All right, now, let's talk about the NFC West. What's 242 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: the word in the West? And the Seahawks were the 243 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: NFC West champs? Again, what's the word in the West? Totally? 244 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: What's the word in the West? I'll tell you what 245 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the word is. Mass Als two and Cardinals two and o, 246 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: Rams two and o and the Niners are at the 247 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel at one and one. Is this 248 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: the type of star you would have predicted for the 249 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: nc West? Um? Honestly, I thought the division was gonna 250 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: be really good. I did. But this six and o 251 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: against the rest of the league. I mean, we talked 252 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: about all preseason thinking that this was going to be 253 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: one of the best divisions in football. But I think 254 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: what made me fully believe that one hundred percent is 255 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. The Cardinals this year are going to be 256 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: a problem. Yes, they started two and oh we might 257 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: be getting ahead of ourselves. But Kyler merley Man in 258 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: his second year, is the real deal. He's really fun 259 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: to watch momp It's video game stuff. He just has 260 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: another gear. And what's crazy, he's fast. When you see 261 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: fast guys, you look at their stride lanes, right, it 262 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: seems like he just got those those little stride lanes. 263 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: But for some reason he gets the most out of it. 264 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: And it's the way he throws the football. It's just 265 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: a flick of the wrist. I was talking to Paul 266 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: Moyer last week. When you watch Cam throw, everything's into 267 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: that throw. His whole body is lower body's upper body. 268 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. When Kyler Murray throws a football. 269 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: It's just a little flick of the wrist. It's a 270 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: little baseball motion. That's why he was gonna get paid 271 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: what four million to go play for the Athletics back 272 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: in the day. But I'm with you, Kylin Murray looks great. 273 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: He's got DeAndre Hopkins and the Rams got a nice 274 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: little run game going right now. I'm impressed with their 275 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: run game. They're not it's not cute. They're not getting 276 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: outside the tackles. They're not doing all this fancy stuff. 277 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: They're like, look, here's a league, here's a trap, here's 278 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: a power. They're getting back to what kind of made 279 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: them great. A couple of years ago, establishing the run 280 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: game first. Yeah, and honestly the Rams first of all 281 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: from a Seahawks standpoint, the Rams have always given our 282 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: football team trouble, whether they were the Jeff Fisher Rams, 283 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: whoever's coaching, whevers going down there, and they give us problems. Obviously, 284 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVay is a great head coach. Took him the 285 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl two years ago. But yeah, the Rams are 286 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: still good and Jared Goff is still throwing the ball 287 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: while he threw for two hundred and sixty seven yards 288 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: and three tids last week. So they're two and out 289 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: and they beat the Dallas Cowboys in Week one? Are 290 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: you a golf believer? Now? We've been hard on this man. 291 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: We've been hard on him. You believing in him now? 292 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: The jury is still out for me. Don't get me wrong. 293 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: He's a great athlete. He can throw the pill. It's 294 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: just kind of there's just so much I feel that 295 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: that's credited to Sean mcvagh just because he's such an 296 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: offensive mastermind, and he's in his headset till fifteen seconds 297 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: before the play granted Goss stall us to go out 298 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: there and make throws. But when those Rams are rolling 299 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: it's because of everything else around him. So I mean, 300 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he can't be one of the better 301 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL. I just still I need to 302 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: see more. The jury is still out for me. Jury still? 303 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Um Okay, Now let's talk about these four nine ers. Man. 304 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: They're having a tough year. Yes, they beat the Jets 305 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: thirty one to thirteen last week. But Bolsa's out what 306 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: an Aco? Solomon's out with an Aco, Jimmy g High 307 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: ankle sprain, most Art mco George Kila had a sprained 308 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: MCL the week before. Richard Sherman has a cab injury. 309 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Demo Samuel has a Jones fractor like all their playmakers 310 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: are gone. Do you have any type of sympathy or 311 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: the Niners. Are you gonna be a cold hearted Seahawk 312 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: fan and show them no love? Well, here's the deal, man. 313 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: You never want to see people get hurt, right, I 314 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: never will ever root for any professional athlete at any 315 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: level or anyone else to get hurt. With that being said, 316 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: this is a National Football Week. It is what it is. 317 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: Every single team is gonna have to deal with injuries, 318 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to it just comes, and you're 319 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with it when it comes. Do 320 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: you think the Niners felt bad for the Seahawks when 321 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: we lost Chris Carson, when we lost c J. Pro Chice, 322 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: when we lost all of our running backs, when we 323 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: lost Dwayne Brown, when we lost all these tackles, and 324 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: when we went into week sixteen of last Sea. No, 325 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: they didn't. Because the NFL, everyone gets paid to play, 326 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: and they're gonna strap him up in play. So the Niners, 327 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: holy smokes, they got they got some work to do, 328 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to do some soul searching and 329 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna come at him quick. So we'll really see 330 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: how resilient that bunch is moving forward. So, in a 331 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: short answer, no, you have no s it is. It's 332 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: the league. I'm sorry, No, I don't. Hey, competition gotta compete, 333 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: all right. Next segment is our matchups. We're gonna call 334 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: the segment. Man up? Who is this mass? This? Man 335 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk? Man up? You want to beat 336 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, you gotta win some matchups. And the first 337 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: matchup is Dak Prescott versus the Seahawk defense. Now, if 338 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: we're going off, the first couple of weeks. Off of 339 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: the defensive performance by the Hawks and the performance by 340 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, we can go out and say that Dak 341 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: is gonna eat, He's gonna get his he's gonna throw 342 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: the ball for over three yards. Yeah. I mean he 343 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: is what he is, man. I mean we learned from 344 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: Dak right when he first got to this football team. 345 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was here in Seattle in 346 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: a preseason game in twenty sixteen where Tony Romo got hurt. 347 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Dak is thrown into the starting lineup and he took off. 348 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: And he has been that good and that impressive since 349 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 1: he took over. And right now he's playing at an 350 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: incredibly high level. I won't say quite is to where 351 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: Russell's at so far this year, but Dak is right 352 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: behind him, right behind him. He has seven hundred and 353 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: sixteen yards through the air so far this year. That 354 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: is second in the league. Dad continues to play at 355 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: a high level. And there's a reason why he wanted 356 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: to hold out. There's a reason why he wanted his 357 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: money because he feels like he is an elite quarterback 358 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: and so far he has shown that. When I look 359 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: at Dak Prescott, the thing that jumps out to me 360 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: is his toughness. Now you heard about his offseason, lost 361 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: a brother, trying to get paid. There's a lot of 362 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: things that could affect his performers on the field. I 363 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: see a guy who just shows up every single week. 364 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: It makes have happened, and he surrounded with some talent. 365 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: What jumps out to you, Well, he's just like you 366 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: mentioned everything that he's been through this past year, he's 367 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: just a leader. Man. He came out as a leader, 368 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, dealing with some mental health issues 369 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: and just being being a leader for everyone across the country. 370 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: People need to hear that that's okay. And he's doing 371 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: that while dealing and playing the toughest position in sports. 372 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: He's playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Okay, So I 373 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: mean then you see what he does on the field. 374 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: He's just a leader, and I think he's taken a 375 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: huge step this year and he's definitely someone wanted to 376 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: be reckoned with all season for sure. The next matchup, 377 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson versus the Cowboys defense. Russells balling right now. 378 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: The cleare MVP leader so far in the NFL. Russell 379 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: has an eighty two point five percent completion percentage through 380 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: two games, the highest through the first two games of 381 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: the NFL season in history minimum for the attempts. This 382 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: dude is playing at a level that we haven't really 383 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: seen and he's starting to get that recognition and that 384 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: love that we've been given to him since day one. 385 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: Can this continue, as the question, Well, it's asking a 386 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: lot for it to continue at this clip. All right. 387 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: Let mean there's other we could talk to. Russell Wilson 388 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: stats all day long. He's eight for eight in the 389 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: red zone, eighty two r to five touchdowns. Okay, he's 390 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: thrown nine touchdowns and according to Pro Football Focus, only 391 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: five uncatchable passes balls that he's thrown away. He's leading 392 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: the league in touchdown passes. I mean, there's a million 393 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: different stats and he has come through in every which way. 394 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: And because he has really just taking ownership of this offense, 395 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: I expect him to continue to play at this high level. 396 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Maybe less touchdowns, maybe some of those numbers will come down, 397 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: but how he's commanding this offense, I don't see that 398 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: stopping anytime soon, because he's just too special. I'll put 399 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: out a tweet the other day saying that Russell Wilson 400 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in the league. And you know everyone, 401 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: not everyone, but a lot of people, Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes. Well, 402 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: Russell's doing some things that Patrick Mahomes hasn't done, at 403 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: least not this year. Four touchdowns on passes thrown twenty 404 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: plus yards down the field. No other quarterback has more 405 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: than two. So I get it, Pat Mahomes baller, but 406 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: Russell was just playing at a different level. The Cowboys 407 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: gave up thirty nine points last week and only has 408 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: two sacks on the season, So that tells me that 409 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: that old line should be able to protect and that 410 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: this offense should be able to continue what they've been doing. 411 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what happens and if DK in 412 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: the game can keep this level play up. Oh, I definitely. 413 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to two And as you mentioned, the 414 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys only have two sacks on the season. Our offensive 415 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: line last week's after the really the first quarter against Atlanta, 416 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: they've really figured out in jail in terms of protection. 417 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: Russell's had some really clean pockets and stuff like that. 418 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: So I expect our offensive line to keep Russell upright 419 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: and then him to continue to play how he's been 420 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: playing last couple of weeks. What's the matchup you're looking 421 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: at nas? What else? I mean the next one you get, 422 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: you gotta look at Zeke. Man out to look at 423 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: Zeke versus our front seven. Now it's obviously going every 424 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: week you say you got to stop the run. Every 425 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: football team wants to stop the run. So like they're like, oh, 426 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: nice job, Nasa, it's a great matchup. You thought really 427 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: hard on that one. No, but it is what it is. Man. 428 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: It starts with him. So he's had forty four carries 429 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five yards or two touchdowns on 430 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: the year. Decent in the receiving game nine reception sixty 431 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: four yards, one touchdown. What I see from him is 432 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: he is still incredibly physical. Okay, the last game that 433 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: we lost down there, there's times where we couldn't get 434 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: him down. He's just someone he's like a catalyst for them. 435 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: And if he gets going early on, it's gonna be 436 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: really hard to stop that offense because once he gets going, 437 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: now you gotta you're getting caught up in play action 438 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: and dad, because it's gonna throw the ball over the yards. 439 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: So it's got to start there. From our front seven. 440 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: He stopping Zeke has to start in the front seven. 441 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: And the Seahawks have been grad against the round the 442 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: ranking number two in the NFL, allowing just sixty nine 443 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: yards per game. So if they can keep that up, 444 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: that's gonna be awesome. But let's remember Todd Gurley doesn't 445 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: seem like the Todd girl of the oldest who played 446 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: last week, or give me the first week and then 447 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: second week, you pretty much played a quarterback who runs 448 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: a football and Cam Newton. You still James White didn't 449 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: play because of his unfortune situations. You still got birdcap 450 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: at New England. So they've proven they can stop the run, 451 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: but haven't been tested the way that they are going 452 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: to be tested this week. Okay, the next matchup Seahawks 453 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: DNS versus Cowboys backup tackles. Now you mentioned it earlier. 454 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: The Cowboys lost their left tackle and you expect LJ 455 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: and Vince Mayowa to really test this guy. LJ might 456 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: be turning a corner that play he made last week 457 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots and Cam Newton to seal 458 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: the game. I feel like it's going to catapult him 459 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: to another place, or at least I hope it does. 460 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: Do the Hawks need these d ns to do more 461 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: than what they've been doing for them to have success 462 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Well, yeah, honestly, I think they do, and 463 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned it. I really hope that this 464 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: is springboard for LJ. Because unfortunately losing Bruce Irvin for 465 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: the season with an ACL in a position group that 466 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: was already kind of finned, those guys need to step up. 467 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: And it's got to be a guy committee it So 468 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: it's Bens and Mayoa, it's LJ. Collier, it's Rashim Green right, 469 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: and then it's closed into the interior. You know, it's 470 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: Puna Ford, it's Jay Reid, dem Entrey Moore. So all 471 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: those guys got to step up as a collective unit. 472 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: And for me, when they have an opportunity to get 473 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: guys down, they have to finish right. You know, Cam Newton, 474 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: we didn't sack him in all last for Jamal got 475 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: him one time from behind, but there are several times 476 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: where we had him dead to right, so we couldn't 477 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: quite wrap up. So those guys really, when they have 478 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: an opportunity, they have to finish only three sacks with 479 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: his defense right now, two coming from the safety position. Okay, 480 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: I love that Jamal Adams is active, but you said it, 481 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: Bens Mayola needs to get after them. LJ J. Reid Poonam. 482 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: I just want to hear different names in the sack 483 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: column other than Jamal. Jamal, keep doing your thing, get 484 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: them sacks. Do what you do. But for this defense 485 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: to take another step, that defensive line needs to step 486 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: up it. Why not be this week? Why not go 487 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: after a backup tackle? Why not send some pressure? If 488 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: the hawsing get through this game and start three and oh, 489 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: it's looking like they can be five and oh before 490 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the bye week, so I'm looking forward to that. All right, 491 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: How are they gonna get this win done? Here is 492 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: the path to victory. One. You cannot let Dak Presscott 493 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: throw for four hundred yards. It's almost like, actually, but 494 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: we want Dak to throw for four hundred You know 495 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: why the Danny O'Neil stacked because whenever a quarterback those 496 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: four hundred yards, the Hawks are nine and o under 497 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. So I say, you know what, plays off 498 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: coverage led back through the rock? Right, That's what That's 499 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: what data says, So we should be cool. That's what 500 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: data says man, But come on, that stack cannot go 501 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: on forever. It's one of those things too, are like 502 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: you can say that, but I'm sure if you go 503 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: to Ken Norton's junior right now and be like, are 504 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: you okay with this, He's gonna say no. So I 505 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: think they gotta and I think we started to see 506 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: a little bit of it. We know Shaquille has played 507 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: is played well this season, and Quentin Dunbar as the 508 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: game went on last week, started playing a lot better. 509 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: Got an interception. So I hope we can tighten some 510 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: of the stuff up and it will definitely help if 511 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: we get some pressure up front. Another thing they have 512 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: to do. You have to bring that down. Not easier 513 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: said than done. He's a big boy, not as big 514 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: as Cam, but he's not small at all. And he's mobile. 515 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: Not as mobile as Cam, but he's mobile. He actually 516 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: he might be more mobile. Who do you think he's 517 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: more mobile right now? Daker Cam today? I mean I 518 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: would typically just say Cam. Maybe I might just be 519 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: biased just thinking of all the games I've watched Cam, 520 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: whether it was in college or at Carolina. But Dack's 521 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: right up there too. I mean, he's not looking to run. 522 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: But if he has to, he's gonna be out there 523 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: and go, and he's gonna be a he's allowed to 524 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: bring down for sure. Yep. Gotta wrap that dude up. Also, 525 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott can't get going early right the Hawks a 526 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: number two against the run right now, allowing sixty nine yards. 527 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: I don't think you can contain Zeke to only sixty 528 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: nine yards. If you do, kudos, that's awesome. But I 529 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: think if he had around eighty nine yards like last week, 530 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: I think that's containing him. But it's not allowing him 531 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: to have the big play early in game momentum, absolutely, 532 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: and I think I think that's the one that's probably 533 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things this defense needs to fix 534 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: moving forward, is not allowing explosive plays. The last two 535 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: weeks really uncharacteristic of Pete Carroll coach defenses to give 536 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: up explosive plays, whether it's running in the past, and 537 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: it starts with Zeke. So you can't let him get 538 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: going early. He can't pop one for thirty or forty. 539 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: You gotta keep him contain. Anything under a hundred is 540 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: good for me. Anything under one hundred you have to 541 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: You talk about explosive plays. I can name two right 542 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: now from last week. Stevie Lamb had to play for 543 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: about fifty something yards. Amari Cooper had to play on 544 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: a rollout for about forty something yards. You have to 545 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: eliminate him. But what all the weapons that these dudes have, 546 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pop, right, It's impossible to think that Lamb's 547 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: not gonna do anything. Michael Gallup, we haven't really mentored Schultz, 548 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: who scored the only receiving touchdown last year. These guys 549 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: have weapons. So if you had to, what's what's the 550 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: max amount of explosive plays you think these guys can allow? Three? Four? 551 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: What do you think? I mean, Coachbeak, you'd say zero, 552 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: But no, you're right. It's it's gonna happen at some 553 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: points how you bounce back. But honestly, I think it's 554 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: got to be under six. It's gotta be under six, 555 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: and hopefully those are passes about fifteen yards and not 556 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: long runs. But either way, if if you're round six, 557 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: I think you're in good chape to win the ball game. 558 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: And the most important key when it comes to their 559 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: path to victory is letting Russell do his thing. This 560 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: guy's playing out a high level. Pete Carrol says, he's 561 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: throwing the ball with conviction. Shotty is up in the 562 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: booth now, so now he can see the whole field. 563 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's huge in the development of this 564 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: offense because we spoke to Ray in the Hawk Talk 565 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: recap and he talked about Russell Wilson really having the 566 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: keys to the car now. A big indicator of that 567 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: is Shoddy being upstairs and not feeling like he's got 568 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: to be in Russell's ear right now. He's got to 569 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: have his hands on everything. When you start to kind 570 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: of ease back a bit and delegate, that lets you 571 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: know that you're in a good place. And obviously they're 572 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: in a good place because Russell's playing at an extremely 573 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: high level. Yeah, shot He's gonna keep doing shotting because honestly, 574 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: he doesn't get enough credit. A lot of people like 575 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: to go after offensive coordinators because that's low hanging fruit, 576 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: but there's not a dang thing he can go after 577 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: Shoddy or this offense for through two games a season. 578 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: So Brian shaw Naimber keep calling great games and it's 579 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna be good for the Seahawks. On Sunday, Shotty, keep 580 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. Defense data said you can give 581 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: up four hundred yards passing. NAS doesn't like that, though, 582 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: so let's let's pump the brakes on that rap Dak 583 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: Prescott up. Don't allow Zeke to have explosive plays, not 584 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: too many at least early, and do what you can 585 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: on the outside. Attack that offensive line, especially especially the 586 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: left tackle. Spy. It looks like we got the formula. Man, 587 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: we should have send them our scout and reporting by 588 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: looks the Hawks. These are the things you need to 589 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: do to win. On Sunday, me and NAS gotta figure 590 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: it out. We gotta figure it out. Let's get it done. 591 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: Bum all right, there it is Hot Talk Preview edition, 592 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: Week three. The Cowboys are coming to the Northwest. We 593 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: appreciate you guys for listening. Hey, take notes. We got 594 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: the past victory. Hope these Hawks pay attention. We'll highlight 595 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: you'all next time. Have a good one.
