11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting from the Seahawks Podcast Studio, presented by Sony,

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: the official headphones partner of the Seattle Seahawks. I've got

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: a smile on my face right now. But John Boyle,

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: I am hot. I had just gotten over now Look,

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: it took me a couple of days to get over

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: that Arizona Cardinals game. Totally get it. My parents are

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: in town. We're watching the game together. I'm like, this

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: is the only thing I need to do on Saturday.

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm watching the final pass. My mom is with me.

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm starting to yell no as the ball doinks off

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: of Trey McBride's helmet, Why didn't they just run the ball?

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Mom, truer words have never been spoken.

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 4: And it hurts. Still hurts, Mom, still stings. Yep.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: It took a couple of days to get over that.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, I am right back to center.

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: I am my feet are on the ground right, I'm

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: right back to center.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: And then what happened?

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl voting? John? I thought this.

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 2: I thought this was a lock. I thought this was guaranteed.

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: Where is Leonard Williams saying?

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: It's strangely enough on the alternates, which I don't get this.

33
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: It makes no sense.

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: I am so irritated. And it's not like it's not

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: just that we are being Homer's First. Of all, Leo

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: is one of the truly good guys. He is also,

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: by all standards and accounts the best interior defensive lineman

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: in the.

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: League right now.

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: He currently leads, leads or is tied for the NFL

42
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: lead in amongst interior linemen and acts with nine ackles

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: for lost with fifteen. He's got twenty six quarterback hits.

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 5: Compare him to the guys who made it look Dexter

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: Lawrence absolutely deserving.

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: He might have been Defensive Player of the Year before

47
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: he got hurt.

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: Fine put him on there, Jalen Carter Videvea, both very

49
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: good players having great seasons. Leonard Williams is so far

50
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: ahead of them in those stats. And then okay, if

51
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: you like the more fancy, you know, analytical stuff, Pro

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 5: Football Focus grades, guess who's way above those two Leonard Williams.

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: I can't make sense of it. I don't usually like

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: to complain about East Coast bias, and now way it

55
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 5: feels feel like it. There's West Coast bias especially it

56
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: And it doesn't really help with my opinion on that

57
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 5: that they announced this at six am over here, Like, hey,

58
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: you know, we exist on the West coast too. It's

59
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 5: kind of hard to get up and do this at

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 5: six am, but yeah I did.

61
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Some years.

62
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: You can say, like we just talked about this before

63
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: we start, but like Jackson Smith and jack great season.

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: It feels like a Pro Bowl caliber season. But then

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: you look at the guys piccheck. Okay, I get it,

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: Like justin Jefferson, I'm on ross saying around those guys,

67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: they're numbers are better, like they're deserving. But I can't

68
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: look at the guys picked the head of Leonard Williams.

69
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: Other indexter Lawrence and make sense of it.

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: And Leonard Williams has had some highlights this year that

71
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: have made highlight reels.

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: Mighty two yard pick six and.

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: He's getting in there. He's got the quarterback sets. Yeah,

74
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: he's gotten in there. And I just you know, it

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: was funny. We were joking like who did he make mad?

76
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: Who?

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't get it.

78
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: I don't get it either.

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: I would Maybe he forgot him on the ballot. I

80
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: don't like. Was it just like an omission.

81
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: Maybe he's not out front and center enough. Maybe we

82
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: need him to I don't.

83
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

84
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: It is proof, though, kids, that your work does not

85
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: speak for itself, and that you're gonna have to have

86
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: somebody advocating for you during the course of your career

87
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: because sometimes, as Mike McDonald pointed out, those contributions go unnoticed.

88
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: But it is hard not to recognize how much Leo

89
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: has done this year.

90
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: Those guys, you don't realize how good they are until

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 6: you don't have them, you know. So is the best

92
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 6: way to put it. I mean, it's such a rare

93
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 6: skill set. There's only so many of these people that

94
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 6: are with that type of ability throughout the throughout the league,

95
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: throughout the world, and like I've I've said, we've got

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: got multiple happens to being in our on our football team.

97
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 6: So I know Leo is having a great year, but

98
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: you know, Jaren Murph, I mean, Hanks played a great

99
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 6: done a great job for us. Roy's done a great

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 6: job for us.

101
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: We just we got to we've.

102
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 6: Got a really really deep room with that can rush

103
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 6: the passer and play the run, so it's not like

104
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 6: you've got a personnel it all the time. And then

105
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 6: position flexibility of being able to play guys on the

106
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 6: edge and move them around, so you know, teams have

107
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 6: to find where our guys are and that's fun for

108
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: us to do.

109
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: You got to love that Mike can use personnel as

110
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: a verb. I know, personnel.

111
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: I think I might start to use that.

112
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 5: Maybe we need to blame Mike McDonald for Leo not

113
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 5: making it because he gives this answer and he praises

114
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: everybody else, which you know.

115
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: It's good, that's what the coach would do.

116
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: But if we're talking about, you know, hyping guys up,

117
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 5: he needs to tell us just how dominant and how

118
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 5: he's doing it all, which is wrong and unfair to

119
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: the other guys. But hey, we're just talking about Pro

120
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: Bowl cases.

121
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: I know that's that's true. That to be fair, Mike

122
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: McDonald's not specifically.

123
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 4: Asked about the Pro Bowl case, but I he was.

124
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: Just asked and the question was about, you know, just

125
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 5: the value of interior. We used to hear you know,

126
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 5: John Shiner and Pete Carroll both talked about this a lot.

127
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 5: But like how rare those interior game record types are

128
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 5: and that's why they went out and traded a sage

129
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: a round pick for him, and that's why they paid

130
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: him this offseason because those guys are.

131
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Are very special and rare players are hard to get well.

132
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: And you know, Mike talked about how sometimes you don't

133
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: realize their value until they're gone. I would say this,

134
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: that's absolutely true. And also Leonard's value this year is

135
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: higher than last year just because of how goofy his

136
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: season was and coming over midyear, he didn't have a

137
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: bye week, so he's like grinding for the entire time.

138
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: And it's not that they didn't make an impact, but

139
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: to see him with a full off season, to see

140
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: him from week one, I think it's made a big difference.

141
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, he hasn't played in every

142
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 4: game this year.

143
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he is still one sack away from being

144
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: the Seahawks player with double digit sacks since Frank Clark

145
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. He's already set a career high with

146
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: fifteen tackles for loss this season.

147
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: If he could possibly get three.

148
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: Sacks five quarterback kids, he would be able to set

149
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: career highs in those as well.

150
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I think he should do that.

151
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: I think he should well.

152
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: Getting ahead of ourselves, but our keys of winning this one,

153
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: I have about three sacks and five quarterback.

154
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: Le only from Leo.

155
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: Everybody else can contribute whatever they want to on that front.

156
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: It might, however, be tough to get to the Rams,

157
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: and look, I think for the Seahawks, there's a lot

158
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: of different ways you can go with this conversation. I

159
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: don't know how much we are going to see from

160
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: the Rams that is similar to that Week nine matchup,

161
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: but I will point out that getting to the quarterback

162
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: has been a little bit challenging because the Rams have

163
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: not allowed a sack in the last four games. Now,

164
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: granted that was with Matthew Stafford, and we already know

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: that Jimmy Garoppolo is going to get the start on Sunday.

166
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: Here's what that means for preparation.

167
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 6: You're going to prep off the off the tape that

168
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 6: like off of our first same thing or playing a

169
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 6: game second time, So you're kind of using all the

170
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 6: things latest games, our game the first time, understand about

171
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 6: our understanding of their system or the extent of what

172
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: we understand about it. And then they will watch Jimmy

173
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 6: Jimmy play through their lens and then we'll watch I

174
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 6: think Mike called the San fran game last week or

175
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 6: last year too, so we'll watch that one as well.

176
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what what he's referencing there is Michael Floor,

177
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: their offensive coordinator, called their Week eighteen game last year,

178
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 5: and they're in a similar situation of having already clinched

179
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 5: and resting some guys. So it is an interesting one

180
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: to prepare for because it's you know, normally division opponent,

181
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: and you know, you look at all their tape, you

182
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 5: look at the game when you played them last, but

183
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 5: different quarterback, potentially different play caller. So there's a few

184
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: different things to dive into. But you know, in a

185
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 5: lot of ways, just like preparing for any other game,

186
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: just maybe not as familiar. As you'd expect from a

187
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: team you've seen already.

188
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: Which is kind of interesting because there is seating that

189
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: spot for the Rams.

190
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I can see both sides of it, Like, sure,

191
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 5: your quarterback's the guy that's been banged up a little

192
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: bit in his career, and he's an older guy and

193
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 5: so valuable to what they do, and they've you know,

194
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: I can see being a little more cautious if you're

195
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: them too, because the number of injuries they dealt with

196
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: ear list, You're like, they had horrible injury luck early on,

197
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 5: So I could. I definitely see the standpoint they're coming from.

198
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: But it's also tough if you lose that game and

199
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: it costs you seeding and you get a harder matchup,

200
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: like it's you know, there's two ways to look at it,

201
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 5: for sure, absolutely.

202
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: And then as for what's on the line for the Seahawks,

203
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: you know, John, you kind of pointed out that I

204
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: think we look at it as fans, not US fans

205
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: in general, and you goes, well, what's left for them

206
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: to play for? Right, Like, if you're not going to

207
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, why would you go all out? And

208
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: the truth is, every single one of these guys as

209
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: a competitor, and there are still opportunities On Sunday, you're.

210
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 6: Always trying to win your next game. So this is

211
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 6: the next game that's number one. There's broader implications, get

212
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 6: into ten wins, trying to be foreign to in our division,

213
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 6: trying to play our brand of football the way we

214
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 6: know how, building building upon our foundation for you to come,

215
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 6: there's a lot, there's a lot, a lot at stake

216
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 6: for us this weekend. It's not the stakes that we want,

217
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 6: but those are always those are always in play.

218
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 5: I think that building upon our foundation line is really

219
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: important for a team that's first year head coach.

220
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: Like, yes, they wanted to win more games.

221
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 5: They did, they wanted to be a playoff team, But

222
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: you don't go out and make a coaching change for

223
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: the one year you're talking about. You know, yes, again,

224
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: this isn't to say they're happy with what they accomplished

225
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: this year.

226
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: They wanted to do more.

227
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 5: But when you made that change, which is a very

228
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 5: hard decision. Pete Carroll is a great coach. You do

229
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 5: a logger things. You're looking at years of how you

230
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: want this to look, and you when you get to

231
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 5: the end of the season you want to feel like, Okay,

232
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: we made progress in these areas, and ten wins versus

233
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 5: nine is progress.

234
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: That's part of it.

235
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 5: But also it's you know, how much the defense improved,

236
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 5: how all these things, And to go into the offseason

237
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 5: feeling like you're trending the right way versus going out

238
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 5: and playing a clunker of a game, that's that's not

239
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: how you want to end it. And we I brought

240
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: this up with DK as well, But it's like these

241
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: guys are just too competitive. There's you know, there's personal

242
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 5: stakes first of all, Like guys are potentially playing for

243
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: their next contract, they're playing for incentives. We know Gino

244
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: Smith has a lot of incentive side of this, maybe

245
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: a record that you know JSN can break Tyler Lockett's

246
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 5: receptions records. It just like they all have plenty of motivation,

247
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: and it's just like they're not just gonna we misplayoffs

248
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 5: so we don't care anymore.

249
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: That's not how these guys are.

250
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: You don't get to this level with without that drive.

251
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: You are not competitive when it suits you.

252
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: When you were at this level, you are competitive all

253
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: the time, one hundred percent of the time. I was

254
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: just talking to Clifavorl a couple of weeks ago, he

255
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: was like, when I left football, one of the hardest

256
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: things to do was to find the thing that I

257
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: could compete in and compete against myself in, which for

258
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: him it turned out to be real estate.

259
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: But that it goes back to your point, like, this

260
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: is what they.

261
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: Do, and that man played for an own sixteen team,

262
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: so he knows what it's like to have to find

263
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 5: that internal motivation.

264
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is also cheering for Detrait really hard. Dan

265
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: Campbell was one of his teammates during that seasonite. Yeah,

266
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: it's kind of a it's kind of a crazy full

267
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: circle moment. So we've talked about what's on the line

268
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: for Seattle and there are a couple of guys that

269
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: have some records within reach. You mentioned JSN closing in

270
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: on Tyler Lockett's record. It is truly incredible to think

271
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: about what kind of a security blanket he has become

272
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: for Gino and what that wide receiver room has looked

273
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: like this year.

274
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 6: You know, Jackson's doing a lot of things that Lock's

275
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 6: done throughout his career, and locks got kind of a

276
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 6: style that he's kind of played all he's kind of

277
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 6: done everything. He's attacked the deep air of the field,

278
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 6: he's worked the you know, the intermediate windows, he's one

279
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 6: versus man, the catch and run stuff. I mean, it's

280
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 6: really how he's you know, got his hay and his

281
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 6: got his career started even in the return game, so

282
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 6: he can really he can mentor anybody. But if Tyler

283
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: Lockett was in my room, I'd be pretty pretty psyched

284
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 6: about that.

285
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 5: It is kind of cool that if if Jackson does

286
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: inded break this record, he'll do it with Tyler on

287
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 5: the field with him, because I mean, we talked to

288
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: Jackson yesterday and the way he talked about just how

289
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: supportive Tyler's been. He you know, he Tyler is the

290
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 5: one that pointed out to Jackson a couple that he's

291
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 5: closing in on this record and told him he's rooting

292
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: for him to break it. And it's you know, I

293
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 5: think d Carey for just kind of a passing the

294
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 5: torch moment of like, you know, Jay is siding to

295
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: be the first tell you he's he is where he

296
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 5: is in part because of those receivers. Those two guys

297
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: especially have helped build him up and so for him

298
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: to be able to get that record with Tyler there,

299
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: that'll be goal. Hopefully, hopefully they get there.

300
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, so five receptions needed for Jackson, Smith and Jig.

301
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, if Tyler Lockett goes off and has a

302
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: big game, he's two touchdowns away from passing Marshawn Lynch

303
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 2: for third on Seattle's all time scoring list. If he

304
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: can get to one hundred yards, he's going to tie

305
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: Darryl Jackson for the second most one hundred yard games

306
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: in franchise history. We are broadcasting from the Seahawks Podcast Studio,

307
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: presented by Sony, the official headphones partner.

308
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: Of the Seattle Seahawks.

309
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: I think sometimes for these guys too, reaching some of

310
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: those milestones, whether it's Tyler, whether it's Jackson, heck DK

311
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: sixty one yards away from another thousand yard season, I

312
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: do think that that's just as important for their growth

313
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: and like building block as it is for the team

314
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: to have their own building blocks.

315
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.

316
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 5: I mean, look, everyone in these guys will tell you,

317
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: get in the win is the most important thing.

318
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: That's Jackson talked about that.

319
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: You know, he wants to break the record, but more

320
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 5: importantly he wants to make sure they win that game.

321
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: But like the individual stuff.

322
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: Does matter these guys, like they're all competitors, they're all human,

323
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: and again it can affect their future, like when they

324
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: have to negotiate their next contract. It helps to be

325
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 5: able to say I did X, Y and Z, So yeah,

326
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 5: I mean this, all this stuff matters to these guys,

327
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 5: and you know, as long as you put it in

328
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 5: the right place of I'm gonna do what I have

329
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 5: to do to help the team win, but I also

330
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 5: want to have some personal success.

331
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: That's great.

332
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 6: Well.

333
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: I also think it's proof that you can do it.

334
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you are lifting weights, right

335
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: and you're trying to like bump up your weight and

336
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: you're like, man, I can never there's no way I'm

337
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: ever going to get to whatever that is. And then

338
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: when you pick up the weight and you actually do

339
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: the rep, you're like, oh wait, I can do that, right.

340
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: So whether they come back and have the exact same

341
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: numbers the next season, I do think it's just proof

342
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: it can be done, and we all need a little

343
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: bit of that. Even if you have internal belief, you

344
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: still have to have proof.

345
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: That it can happen. And we missed one more.

346
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 5: Gino Smith can break his own franchise records for I

347
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 5: believe completions, yards and completion percentage.

348
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Ye, he's got a lot on the line in this one.

349
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: And I was also going to point out that Derek

350
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: Hall needs two sacks to extend his single season career high.

351
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: He could get to ten. And with the way he's

352
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: been playing, that's not out of the realm of possibility either.

353
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: No, he's he's having I guess like we saw boy

354
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: Mafey last year that big year too jump and both

355
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: those guys, it's so fun.

356
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: To watch those guys take it big leap.

357
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: I was just reflecting on some of that as I

358
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: was write and thank you notes to those guys man Like,

359
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: it's been fun to watch those young talents like take

360
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: on larger rules and really come.

361
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: On to me what you thought when they got drafted?

362
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: For sure, we are going to close out some thoughts

363
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: for this week eighteen matchup in just a little bit,

364
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: but why don't we.

365
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: Pause for a word from our presenting sponsor.

366
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Statistically, the world is losing color.

367
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: Just consider all white kitchens, beige baby nurseries, a sea

368
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: of gray cars. But in the hundreds of destinations Delta

369
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: flies to, you can rediscover color in the bright blue

370
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: waters of Hawaii, the emerald green hills of Scotland, the

371
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: very pink cherry blossoms of Tokyo, and so much more.

372
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: Sometimes opening your world is all it takes to open

373
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: your mind, which is why when you fly Delta, your

374
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: potential takes off.

375
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: When you do Delta Official airline of the Seattle Seahawks.

376
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: This NFL season.

377
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: Feel every play, every hit, every moment with the Sony

378
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: one thousand x five noise canceling headphones, the official headphones

379
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: of the Seattle Seahawks. With premium noise cancelation, you are

00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: in the zone, no distractions.

381
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: Just pure football.

382
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: Whether you are in your living room or on the go,

383
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: you will never miss a beat with Sony headphones. And

384
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: once again this week those are going to be super

385
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: helpful because they tend to crank the volume and Sofi

386
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: Stadium pretty loud on the field, So I thank.

387
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: You mint technol in there.

388
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 4: They do that, and I need those noise I'll.

389
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: Take that over.

390
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: When they played in the Colseum, they had their like

391
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: hype man on the sideline with a microphone yelling do

392
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: you remember that guy?

393
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: He's still on like a big I kind of.

394
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean that was only a couple of years ago,

395
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: but I have a really bad memory, and also I'm distracted.

396
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: On the game day, he was on their sideline. He

397
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: was just like hype man throughout its terrible. Oh so, okay,

398
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: I'll take whatever noise they're cranking out.

399
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 4: Now.

400
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, it hasn't really mattered what noise

401
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: the Seahawks have faced on the road because.

402
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: They have been really good.

403
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: And if they get a win, they would be seven

404
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: and one on the road this season. That would tie

405
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: the franchise best record, and they could also get to

406
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: six consecutive road wins.

407
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty impressive.

408
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's made for some really happy flights home,

409
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: which I'm glad about.

410
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: But you know, that's another one of those good building blocks.

411
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: It tends to be the opposite way for especially a

412
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: new coaching staff.

413
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 5: So then next year you get the home thing figured out,

414
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: and boy and boy.

415
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: We are going to be off and running.

416
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: But it is always a little bit bittersweet when the

417
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: season ends, not just because you know the season is

418
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: going to end, but because not everybody comes back. It

419
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: is just the nature of the NFL, and it's part

420
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: of the messaging from Mike McDonald this week.

421
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 6: Part of the messa this morning was that this is

422
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 6: the last last game that this unit is going to

423
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 6: be together. That's the nature of the NFL, and so

424
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: let's make the most of it. Let's go out with

425
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 6: a bang, do our thing and serve the guy next

426
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: to us and have fun playing good football and go

427
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 6: win a game.

428
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that sometimes is as simple as that.

429
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: You absolutely wish you were playing for the playoffs, but

430
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 5: like there's something you just said for finishing, feeling good

431
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 5: about it, finishing on high, playing for some pride, and

432
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: you know that's again there they feel like they're trying

433
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 5: to build something for the future and not that you

434
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 5: can't have a great year next year if you lose

435
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 5: this game. It doesn't have to be an issue, but

436
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 5: it sure just feels better in your off season with

437
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 5: with that ten next to the win total and coming off.

438
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: A good win to end the season so well.

439
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: And it also means that you're right there with the Rams, right,

440
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, yeah, you don't have to close the gap.

441
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: Isn't very good if you win this game, you missed

442
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 5: the playoffs by the fifth tiebreaker, Like that's.

443
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: That's also ridiculous that we had to figure out what

444
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: the fifth tiebreaker was.

445
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 5: At least we didn't get down to number twelve on

446
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 5: the list, which would have been a coin toss.

447
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that?

448
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 6: What?

449
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no way.

450
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: Breaker number twelve is a coin toss.

451
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know how you could ever get that

452
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: far without something for you, because.

453
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 4: There's no way they threw that in as a last resort.

454
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 5: You get down to point differential, you get down to

455
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 5: touchdown differential total touchdown scored. So to go through seventy

456
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: games with all that being equal feels impossible.

457
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: But I would love to know who sat in there

458
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: in the meetings and if they put that in as

459
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: a joke or if that was legit and they're like,

460
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: you know what, we give up.

461
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: There's no other way we can separate this.

462
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: Let's flip a coin.

463
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: Flip a coin. Yeah, that's pretty much what we do

464
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: every week.

465
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: Right. Here's we are broadcasting from the seas Podcast Studio

466
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: unpresented by Sony, the official headphones partner.

467
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: Of the Seattle Seahawks.

468
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: This is usually the part where I ask for two

469
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: things the Seahawks need to do to get guarantee a

470
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: win on Sunday. I'm also going to switch this up.

471
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're prepared for that. I did not

472
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: give you a heads up on this one.

473
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I that's okay. I've never prepared anyway, So.

474
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: I I did just say that we were flipping a

475
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: coin every time we sit down and decide what we're

476
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: going to talk about.

477
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 4: There's so many things that we're watching.

478
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: In this game for personal reasons for the Seahawks, for

479
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: what this means for the organization. I was just going

480
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: to ask for the one, maybe two milestones you really

481
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: want to see reached on Sunday.

482
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll tie this to I want to see

483
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 5: like all of these offense when we talk about I

484
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 5: want to see a lot of these get hit because

485
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: I want to see this offense finish season on a

486
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 5: high note. Because it's been a little up and down

487
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: for the offense. Obviously last week they only managed six points.

488
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 5: So you know, I think if you can get DK

489
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 5: two one thousand yards, if you can get jsn his record,

490
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 5: if you can get those benchmarks for Gino, that's going

491
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 5: to mean a pretty good day for the offense. And

492
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: I'd love to see this offense against a good Rams defense.

493
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 5: I know, you know, McVeigh said they're not playing all

494
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 5: their stars, but you can't rest everybody, and their defense

495
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 5: is young. I have a hundred lod of those guys

496
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 5: will be playing. I'd love to see at Seahawks just

497
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 5: move the ball. You know, maybe let's let's call it

498
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: three touchdowns. I want to see three touchdowns out of

499
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 5: this offense, okay, And with that, I want to hit

500
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 5: some of those individual goals for the guys to have

501
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 5: something to finish the season on a strong note.

502
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: Okay.

503
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: I would also say the Rams total defense ranks twenty

504
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: sixth in the league. However, if you watch how close

505
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: the games have been in the last few weeks, they

506
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: have certainly taken some strides and they are and.

507
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: They gave up a bunch of points to the Bills

508
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 5: in that win, and then Sadden they've been Yeah, you know,

509
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 5: I think it's three straight games where they're holding the

510
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: ponent single digits.

511
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 4: Yes, so Seattle's offense needs to come out there.

512
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to add to that with Gino Smith, he

513
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: could become the nineteenth quarterback in NFL history with the

514
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: seventy percent completion percentage. First of all, I did not

515
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: realize how rare that was. And he has managed to

516
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: maintain that number the entire season, which is really impressive.

517
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: And as we talked about, I'd really like Leonard Williams

518
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: to get that sack and to get a couple more quarterbacks. Tedy'

519
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: again three so who could Well, he has at least one.

520
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 4: He's getting three. Okay, well I thought I had my note.

521
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: John decided to advise that one, so okay. Well, that's

522
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: how we're going to end today. And even though the

523
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 2: Seahawks season ends on Sunday, I think we should come

524
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: back next week.

525
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: We'll be back. We're not quite done yet.

526
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: You will see us next week on another edition of

527
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: the Seahawks Insiders podcast
