Good news. Cornerback 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers is back and should be a full go 17 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: throughout the week and able to play on Sunday. Right 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: tackle Brandon Shell made it back to practice on Wednesday. 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: He was limited as he tries to return from that 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: ankle injury he suffered against the Jets. The only real 21 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: negative thing is it looks like wide receiver Phillips door 22 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: Set will not be able to return this season. He 23 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: was placed on IR after getting foot surgery in November. 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: He's been working really hard to get back on the field. 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: The head coach Pete Carroll isn't sure he'll make it back, 26 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: even if the Seahawks make a deep run into the playoffs. 27 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't think Philip's gonna make it, you know, I 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: had to come him out of you know, if we 29 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: were fortunate to be playing a month from now. But 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: he's working hard. I saw him working again today in 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: the weight room. He's busting, it's doing a lot of 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: good stuff. But it's gonna be a hall for him 33 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: to make it back, all right. Before we get going, 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: find complete Seahawks coverage on seven ten ESPN Seattle, the 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: seven ten ESPN Seattle app or at seven ten sports 36 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: dot Com seven ten ESPN Seattle, The Voice of Seattle. 37 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: Sports Week seventeen. The Seahawks already got the NFC West 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: locked up, but they got to finish business against the 39 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. Who's next Who's next? Who's next? 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Six and nine? San Francisco forty nine Ers last place 41 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: in the NFC West, but still a team that is battling. 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: That's who the Hawks played next. Let's look at their schedule. 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: They beat two teams with new in their name, the 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: New York Jets the New York Giants, and loss to 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Say it's been beat the New England Pages. 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot of news out there. Beat those guys, 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: the Rams. They beat the Rams twice, which is pretty impressive. 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: The Rams have the number one defense in the league. 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if that still stands, but have a 50 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: pretty good team and they just came off a win 51 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: versus Arizona Cardinals six and nine. This might be low 52 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: key like the best six and nine team I've seen 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: in a while. They're banged up, they still have found 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: ways to produce. Last week, they beat the Arizona Cardinals 55 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: with Beth the number three, sorry number three, the third 56 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: string quarterback in backup running back Jeff Wilson had a 57 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: day one hundred and eighty one yards. George Kittle was back, 58 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: so there's some hope for the forty nine ers to 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: at least play decent this week because they showed they 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: can get it them. Bath was thirteen to twenty two, 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty two yards, three touchdowns. The kid 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: was one and nine as a starter before them, but 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: now he is two and nine. He hasn't thrown an interception, 64 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: so they'll take care of the football. But he's not 65 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna wow you with the big throws, and with guys 66 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: like George Kittle healthy, he might not have to do that. 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, but all right, not terrible. Thirty one for 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: fifty two hundred and forty seven yards, one interception, sacked 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: three times, had eight carres for seventy five yards. I 70 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: was surprised with the outcome of this game. Nas I 71 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: thought the Cardinals had a sense of urgency. They're making 72 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: a playoff push, They're gonna play some of their best football. Instead, 73 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: we saw the underdogs come away with a win. If 74 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: you're the Cardinals, man, you gotta be so disappointed. If 75 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you're if you're that whole coaching staff, that fan base, 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: everything that goes into it, you gotta be so disappointed. 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: Because the Cardinals still had every everything to play for. 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: They could have clinched the playoff. Berth they had everything 79 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: in front of them. The Niners, they're done, They're seasons over. 80 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: They got not seen to play for. They had to 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: move their whole operation error Zonus. They're playing home games 82 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: and different stadium, they're away from their families, are cooped 83 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: up in a hotel. All this COVID protocol talk not 84 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: to mention all of the injuries they've had to deal 85 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: with this year, and it continued on Sunday, But no 86 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: one told them that because they came out and they're 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: more physical than the Cardinals. They did what they had 88 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: to do to win, and it's it's shocking to me. 89 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: And I think the one thing I'll say about that 90 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: is I think we all know that if you look 91 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: at these two teams on paper, the Seahawks have the 92 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: better football team, especially given who the forty nine ers 93 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: is gonna put out there on Sunday. But you can't 94 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: take these team lightly, man. I mean the Rams found 95 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: that out against the Jets. The Browns found that out 96 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: against the Jets. Like guys in the NFL sell up pride. 97 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: They still have things to play for. They're still getting paid, 98 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: they're still trying to get their film out there for 99 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: whatever's gonna be next for the next team they play 100 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: for audition to stay on that team. So they're gonna 101 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: bring it. And that's the thing I think, Shanahan. The 102 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: one you can thing you can say about the forty 103 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: nine ers is they're resilient. Man. They are absolutely resilient, 104 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: and they're gonna They're gonna keep fighting. And I mentioned 105 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: the injury bug on Sunday, Head coach A. Kyle Shannion 106 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: already ruled out left tackle Trent Williams and Star Rickie 107 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver your guy Brandon Aiyuk for Sunday's game. Sherman's 108 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: also gonna miss that game and could be the last 109 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: game in the Niners uniform for them. So, man, I mean, 110 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: I've never seen a team this injured throughout the year. 111 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks got pretty banked up last year, 112 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: but it has hit every single position group on that 113 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: football team. But they're out there so fighting. At one point, 114 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: I think I saw that the forty nine Ers had 115 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: about fifty to sixty million tied up in injuries. That's 116 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: how much money they had on the bench. So these 117 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: guys are finishing strong, they're battling, so they're gonna come 118 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: out and there's nothing like beating the Seahawks. If they 119 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: can get it done, this means a lot to them. 120 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: They're not going to the playoffs. This is kind of 121 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: like the NFC West Bowl Game. They got a bowl 122 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: game here playing against the Seahawks. So now let's break 123 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: these teams down. Offensively, the Seahawks are ranked thirteenth to 124 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers are still in there. Their rank fifteen 125 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: rush offense, the Hawks are eleventh, the forty nine Ers 126 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: are thirteenth. Pass offense Hawks or fourteenth. Niners are twelve, 127 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: and points per game the Hawks are seventh, the forty 128 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: or twentieth. You look at just the offensive stats, it 129 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: tells you that they should be able to put us 130 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: some points. They should be in this game. But the 131 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: way that this defense has been played, you would assume 132 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: that those numbers won't reflect what's gonna happen on Sunday. 133 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: But like you just mentioned, as you never know. This 134 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 1: is the NFL. These guys get paid. All these dudes 135 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: were starters on their high school and college teams and 136 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: had some success to the league, so they will be 137 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: here to battle. What are you seeing out of these 138 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: two defenses? Well, I think if you look at the 139 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: tailor table in terms of headhead comparison. What we see 140 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: the numbers wives. I mean, the Niners still somehow fifth 141 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: in total defense, they're six in rush defense, fourth in 142 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: past defense, seventeenth in points per game. To flip over 143 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks, they're twenty third in total defense, fifth 144 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: in rush defense, still thirty second in past defense, but 145 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: they've climbed up to twenty third when it comes to 146 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: points per game. Obviously, we know a lot of the 147 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: damage has been was done early on in the season. 148 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Since Week eleven, the Seattle Seahawks have the best defense 149 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 1: the NFL statistically. We'll get into that a little bit later. 150 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: And the Niners just battling. Man. They got a couple 151 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: of dudes over there, Fred Warners a great ball player, 152 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: so they're good defensively. But I think the one really 153 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: missnow more about this whole head head comparison. Going back 154 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: to the offensive side, the Seahawks kind of opposite of 155 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: their defense. They started off so hot. I mean every 156 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: week we were used to look at this. They are 157 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: number one, they're number two, they're number three. This is 158 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: the first time all the year they fell out of 159 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: top ten on offense. But that's where stats will lie 160 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: to you, because no matter what you want to say, 161 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: the brand of Seahawks football that we've seen in the 162 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks against good defenses is still winning games. 163 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: It's not gonna have you put up video game numbers. 164 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: You're not gonna put up forty points or also isn't 165 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna throw for four touchdowns. But it's winning football. So 166 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of lost in the numbers. And 167 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: like I said, our defense is playing incredibly good football 168 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: at this point in time. So I mean, look at 169 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the numbers. The teams are closer than you would think statistically, 170 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: but obviously the records are who you are. That's the 171 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: resume Seahawks eleven and four nine or six and nine 172 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: in this instance, numbers do live. This defense is playing well. 173 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: I look at this offense. I think the offense. The 174 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: numbers are pretty accurately comes at offense. I feel like 175 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: that's where they're performing right now, around thirteenth in the league. 176 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: But we know they have the potential to be a 177 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: top five offense because we have seen it. If offensive 178 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: defense start clicking, man, y'all better watch out. The Hawks 179 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: are ready for a run. Let's look at the history 180 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: of this matchup, no your history, Well, Seahawks lead the 181 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: all time series twenty six to seventeen. Seahawks had been 182 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: absolutely dominant since Russell Wilson was drafted, winning the series 183 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: or winning thirteen of seventeen games in this series and 184 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: including nine in a row at one point. Last meeting 185 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: between the Seahawks in the forty nine is earlier. This year, 186 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Seahawks won thirty seven to twenty seven, but man bump 187 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: that final score was not indicative of how the game 188 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: was actually played. The Seahawks were up thirty to seven 189 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: with fourteen minutes left in the game. It was a 190 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: dominating performance. Jimmy Garoppolo and the company couldn't do anything 191 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: on the ground. Forty nine Ers got some three garbage 192 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: time touchdowns with Nick Mullins in a quarterback. Garoppolo was 193 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: hurt racked up a ton of fourth quarter yardage, which 194 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: has kind of been one of the Seahawks weaknesses this 195 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: year is getting leads and then giving up a ton 196 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: of yards in the fourth quarter. Jimmy g left the 197 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: game of an ankle injury. Offensively, Russell Wilson had a 198 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: day man. It was him in the DK Metcalf Show 199 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: twenty seven to thirty seven, two sixty one, four touchdowns, 200 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf twelve receptions, one hundred and sixty one yards 201 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. So I think the thing about that game, 202 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: that game broke the forty nine ers. Man. They had 203 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: had some injuries early on, but there were four and three. 204 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: They were so right in the middle of things during 205 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: that game when they had their guys playing. This is 206 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: before Garoppolo got hurt, before Kittle went down. The Seahawks 207 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: were dominating that football game, So I mean it, and 208 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: then those guys went down in their season has kind 209 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: of tailspin since then. But if anything, and if the 210 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: first game is any indication, I think the Seahawks will 211 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: be able to get stuff done offensively. I think this 212 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: game will look a little different because Chris Carson is available, 213 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: Carlos Side is available, or side pennies available. So the 214 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: numbers might be a little skewed statistically, but I do 215 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: think this is a good precursor of what we can 216 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: see in the second matchup. You spoke about DK that 217 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: last matchup, he was twelve for one sixty one and 218 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He needs six more yards to break Steve 219 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: Largen's receiving yards in a season record, Largens at twelve 220 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: eighty seven. And also Tyler Lockett needs thirty six yards 221 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: to get a thousand for the season, the first time 222 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the Hawks had two thousand yard receivers in quite some time. 223 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: So there are some things that need to get done 224 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday. We want to win, but we also want 225 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: individual accolades. I know it's not about the individual, it's 226 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: about the team. Yeah, that sounds good, but I like 227 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: seeing guys have individual success. Let's go around the NFC 228 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: West what's the word? And the Seahawks or the NFC 229 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: West Champs? Again, what's the word in the West? On 230 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: Hawk Talk? What's the word? You heard? Rabel Champs is here? 231 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: Baby in it? See West? But longs to the Seattle Seahawks. 232 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: They are eleven and four. Right behind them, the Rams 233 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: are nine and six. The Cardinals are battling to get 234 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: into the playoffs at eight and seven, and the Niners 235 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: are just throwing haymakers at six and nine, trying to 236 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: solo Wrench and what's going on with the Seahouks. But 237 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen this weekend, all right? So this 238 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: is what we do know about the NFC. Okay, NASA, 239 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: if you guys don't know, NASA is the mass scientists. 240 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: He's doing all these stats. He's got his laptop up 241 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, Nas, you didn't see me the 242 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: numbers man. I'm gonna let you talk, but let me 243 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: let me break down the NFC. So far, the Packers 244 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: have clinched the NFC North, the Saints have clinched the 245 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: NFAC South, and of course the Seattle Seattle Seahawks have 246 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: clinched the NFC West, and Tampa it's in the playoffs. 247 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Tommy boy, this finds a way to win. Granted he's 248 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: got some weapons around, don't we expecting him to get 249 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, But longevity, this guy knows how to win. 250 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: And now for the specifics, I'm gonna pass it over 251 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: to NASA. Choby. There's a lot going on here. There 252 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: is a lot going on. When we were talking post game, 253 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: I try to start working on all the seeding and 254 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: playoffs scenarios, and I stopped myself because I was gonna 255 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: need some more time. I was not gonna be able 256 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: to get that done in a commercial break, So I've 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: crunched the numbers. I've looked at stuff just kind of 258 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: reset what's going on in the NFC as of today. 259 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: Right now, the Packers or the one seed New Orleans 260 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: Saints or the two seed Seahawks or the three seed. 261 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Washington is the four seed. In this scenario, all those 262 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: teams would host playoff games. The five seed is Tampa 263 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: Bay Bucks. The sixth seed is the Los Angeles Rams. 264 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: In the seventh seed currently today is the Chicago Bears. 265 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: Now here's what needs to happen this weekend. So the 266 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals, if 267 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: they get a win, they're in. Okay, if the Chicago 268 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: loses and they win, they're in. Now the Bears they 269 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: clinch the playoff berth with a win, so they control 270 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: their own destiny. But they're going against the Packers. It's 271 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one. The Bucks, like I mentioned already, 272 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: in they're just battling with seating and then the NFC 273 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: least or whatever you want to call it. This year, 274 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: it's coming down to Week seventeen, like we all assumed, 275 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: the Washington football team, they win, they're in. It's a 276 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: done deal. The only thing team that can catch them. 277 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: So the New York Giants, if they win in Washington loses, 278 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: they would win the East. And for the Cowboys they 279 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: would need to win and they would need to Washington 280 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: to lose. They can tie. I'm not gonna get in 281 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: the tie scenarios because that just gets too crazy. But 282 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: bump seeding wise, because this is what this is what 283 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: really matters to the Seahawks right now. So, as we mentioned, 284 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: there is an outside chance the Seahawks could get the 285 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: number one seed. For that to happen, they need to 286 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: handle business win this weekend, and the Green Bay would 287 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: need to lose to Chicago and New Orleans would need 288 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: to lose to Carolina. Probably unlikely, but not out of 289 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: the realm of possibility right now for the Seahawks. That's 290 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: how they get the one seed. If they want the 291 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: two seed, they just have to win, and they need 292 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: Green Bay or Chicago exceed the Green Bay or New 293 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: Orleans to lose, and then right now they're locked into 294 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: three seed if they lose. If they win and those 295 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: other teams win, they're locked into the three seed. So 296 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: if there's a chance, an outside chance five percent, I 297 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: think where they can get the number one seat in 298 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: the first round, vibe a greater chance to get a 299 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: two seed. But bump that just kind of brings me, Now, 300 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: we got most of the seating stept out of the way. 301 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Because here's the other thing. I mean, the Bucks could 302 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: be the five or the six. The Rams could be 303 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: the five, six, seven or eliminated. Cardinals could be six, 304 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: seven or eliminated. Bears could be six, seven or eliminated. Now, 305 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: with those teams that are available bumped that we could 306 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: potentially play in the first round, would you rather play Tampa, 307 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: the Rams, the Cardinals or the Bears. I first let 308 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: me acknowledge that you going through all the scenarios made 309 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: me feel like I was back at Washington State and 310 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: I walked into a calculus class and I knew within 311 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: ten minutes I was not I was dropping this class, 312 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: around dropping this class. So you did a lot, big 313 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: us and nass for breaking that down for us. Out 314 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: of those scenarios, I want to play the Bears. Man, 315 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: play the Bears. I don't believe in Mitch. Don't He's 316 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: doing just enough to survive. He's in the deep end 317 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: of the pool and he's floating up. He's barely has 318 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: his chin over the Water. I would like to play 319 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: the Bears, but I think they can handle the Cardinals. 320 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: I think they can handle the Raums. The team that 321 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: scares me the most, he said, the Buccaneers, Right, yep, 322 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: they scared me the most, just because of what they 323 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: have on offense and Tom Brady's being the winner that 324 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: he is. So I would want to face the Bears. 325 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: Anybody can get it, but the easier path. I feel 326 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: like we'll be Chicago. What do you think? Well, looking 327 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: at it, if you would ask me before I knew 328 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: what I knew what was going on in La, I 329 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: probably would have said Chicago for sure. The Rams. Think 330 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: about the Rams. Watching the game on Sunday, as the 331 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: game is going on, I was thinking, you know what, 332 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: I don't really want to see them again, just becus 333 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: how good they are defensively. They give his issues, but 334 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: they're without Jared Goff. Jared Goff broke his thumb. He's 335 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: having surgeries for sure, out this weekend. Who knows moving forward, 336 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup that's positive for COVID nineteen. He's gonna be 337 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: out this weekend. So they now that matchup with the 338 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Cardinals a little banged up too. Because 339 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Colin Murray is a little banged up, so that game 340 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be really interesting to decide some playoffs seating. 341 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: So if those two guys are not playing, I want 342 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: to play the Rams. Ye I don't care what they're 343 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: doing defensively. That the backup quarterback. I'm blanking on his 344 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: name because no one's heard of him. Wolford. Wolford, Yeah, 345 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: I think he went to Rake Force or something like that. 346 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: So if that scenario holds, I want to play them. 347 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: But other than that, ye as the Bears. It's without 348 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: question the Bears. I think, um Mitchell Drubisky, I think 349 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: with the way our defense is playing, I think that 350 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: would be a great matchup for us. The Cardinals, I 351 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: think I think we have them figure out. I think, 352 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: like like you mentioned, we can beat all these teams. 353 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: But if I had to choose today, it's the Rams 354 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: if they're unhealthy, and then definitely the Bears. The Bucks 355 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: scare me because we haven't matched up with them, we 356 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: haven't played them, we don't know them. They still got 357 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: tom they got Gronk, they got Fournette, they got Evans, 358 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: they got dudes Godwin. I mean, it's so it's wide open. 359 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: The NFC. I think I read something today that this 360 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: is the most possible playoffs scenarios in the last like 361 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: thirty some years, heading in his last final week. So 362 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be crazy. Get your popcorn ready. 363 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: Follow on Twitter, lessen the pregame show. Listening to the game. 364 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out around four thirty on Sunday, what 365 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: what's happening, who we're playing and where we're going. All right, well, 366 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: you know what now did you put it that way? 367 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: You're right? Arizona and Rams is there down. You probably 368 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: want to play them because there's familiarity. There's so much film. 369 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: They know what, you know, what they like to do. 370 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: You recognize their person now. So yeah, but anybody can 371 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: get it. MC West champs. Line them up, knock them down, 372 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: Let's get it. Let's look at these matchups. Man up 373 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: this mass man man up Unhawk talk. Alright, the first matchup, 374 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna look at it. CJ. Betha versus the Seahawks defense. Now, 375 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Betha made his first start last Sunday since twenty eighteen. 376 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: He is two and nine as a starter. Now he's 377 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: forty one for sixty seven five hundred forty one yards, 378 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, no interceptions, sack six times. Dude will take 379 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: care of the ball. He's a nice he's a nice 380 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: store manager. When the Karens come in, he has to 381 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: calm people down, He'll calm them down. He'll make sure 382 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: they get their refunds. Everybody's good. He's a manager. But 383 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: they need more than a manager to beat the Seahawks, 384 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: especially the way this defense is playing. You gotta get 385 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: after Bethard, all right. The Seahawks defense is playing the 386 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: best ball in the league right now. Over the past 387 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: six games, they've allowed thirteen point seven points. The same 388 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: defense I was allowing them about five hundred points in 389 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: the first five six weeks. Thirteen point seven. This is 390 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: a great turnaround. I don't think Bethard is enough. He 391 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: didn't have to play the game of his life to 392 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: beat the Seattle Seahawks, or the Halls would have to sit. 393 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: Some guys take him for granted, But I just don't 394 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: see that happening. No, I don't see it happening either. 395 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: And I think without Ayuk, Ayuk is a huge weapon 396 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: loss there they still have Kittle. But other than when 397 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: you take Ayuk off the field, they don't have anyone 398 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: that really scares you, were threatening You's deep in terms 399 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: of the secondary. Kittles a great guy, which we'll get 400 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: to in a second here. But with Bethard you mentioned it, 401 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: he's he's not gonna kill them, right, but he doesn't 402 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: give them the best chance to win if they had 403 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: their full stable quarterbacks. And the Seahawks defense you mentioned it, 404 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: They've allowed the second fewest yards per play four point 405 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: four three and recorded the second most sack to twenty one, 406 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: which again is crazy to consider when we were talking 407 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: about another week of four hundred yards passing, another week 408 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: of five hundred plus yards on offense. Go loud. So 409 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: this defense is playing with confidence, playing with swagger. You 410 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: heard Jamal Adams, he said, Hey, we're the best defense 411 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: NFL right now, And I don't really care if the 412 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: numbers all that stuff doesn't matter. When when you have 413 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: that confidence as a football player and you're playing with 414 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: that confidence and you believe it. In fifty four believes it, 415 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: and kJ Wright believes it, and Jordan Brooks believes it, 416 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: and Quadriy Digs believes it, it doesn't matter. So if 417 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: they're playing with that confidence at swagger, I think another 418 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: notch in their belt was beating the Rams and clinting 419 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: that title. So they're playing at all time high and C. J. 420 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Bethier this is He's not leaving this game about turning 421 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: the ball over. I promise you that. Nope, as my 422 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: son would say, cookies, we needed those guggies. Get the 423 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: best the rock, all right. Next matchup, George Kittle versus 424 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven. George is a baller man forty one receptions, 425 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: five hundred sixty six yards, two touchdowns. He's twelfth in 426 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: the league when it comes to receivings in the tight 427 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: end room, and he's only played seven out of fIF 428 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: teen games. I saw this, dude. I watched the film. 429 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure you watched the two four catches ninety two yards. 430 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: Dude is coming off a foot injury and still getting 431 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: that yiggoty yat yards after get I mean this, this 432 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: guy is the best all around tight end in the NFL. 433 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to my boy the other day and uh, 434 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: I said, man, he's he's the best run after catch 435 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: tight end. He says. The kid from Oakland or excuse me, 436 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: las Vegas, pretty good waller. I believe his name is 437 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: he's good, but he's still got some some stuff to prove. 438 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: I gotta go with George Kittle. I wonder how aggressive 439 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: Adams is gonna be with George. I feel like if 440 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: Adams is blitzing off of that edge or he has 441 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: to contained he's got, he's gotta make George Kittle fill him. 442 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: He's gotta put his shoulder into him and slow him 443 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: down a bit, because if you don't, he's great at 444 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: crossing that field nice and clean, getting the rock to him, 445 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: turning it up field, and getting about ten or fifteen 446 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: yards after he catches the rock. No, Kittle's a special dude, man. 447 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: I think Travis Kelcey's the best receiving tight end in 448 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: the NFL. But when we're talking about all around. In 449 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: the run game. In the past game I was watching 450 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: him play. It was just a simple boot action from 451 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and Kittles on the offenses left, 452 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: and because he's such a physical run blocker, he takes 453 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: a reach step one, two pop up linebackers come up, 454 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Boom gets behind him in the Boom catches the ball, 455 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: shakes a corner, and he gets north south. That's the 456 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: thing for a big dude, he's got wiggled. And then 457 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: the other thing too is you better bring your lunch 458 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: bail man if you if you come trying to set 459 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: that edge and you're not coming with it, he'll put 460 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: you on and put you on your back. So George 461 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: Kittles a special, special dude. I think I think he's 462 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: almost like a safety blanket two for Bethard because that's 463 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: like the only guy who can throw too. So it'll 464 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: be interesting how we defend him. I think Jamala's guys 465 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: work cut out for him, but we're gonna be so 466 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: focused on him. I think you take him away, it's 467 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: gonna be tough for that Niners offense. It should be tough. 468 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: Another guy's the Hawks have to take away. Jeff Wilson. 469 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson versus Seahawks front seven. Excuse me, forty nine 470 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: ers leading rusher. He has five hundred and twenty four yards, 471 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: six touchdowns, ten receptions for one hundred and twenty one 472 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. The guy rushed for one hundred 473 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: eighty three yards against the Arizona Cardinals and what the 474 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: forty nine do a great job off You get different 475 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: looks in a run game, you're gonna see power, you'll 476 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: see trap, you'll see his own, you'll see counter. You 477 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: gotta prepare for any type of run that's ever been 478 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: invented in the game of football. When you play against 479 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: the forty nine and it seems like whoever they put 480 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: in the backfield is going to have some success. Jeff 481 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: Wilson has some bursts too, I believe against the Hawks 482 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: the first game he had. The biggest play for the 483 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: forty nine is running up that sideline Jeff Wilson. Man 484 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: gotta look after this dude. Well, and the thing too 485 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: about him, I'm gonna pare Jeff Wilson. The other guy 486 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: that's really important to what Jeff Wilson's gonna do is 487 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Uschak. He's theer do everything player outside of George 488 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: Kittle because he can line up at fullback, whole line 489 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: up at tight end. He's great as being that lead 490 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: blocker and he's also great as a pass catcher. And 491 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: I think with him leading the way, that's what they 492 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: want to do. You mentioned the traps, the counters, the powers. 493 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: It starts with us check and Wilson is an explosive 494 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: dude and the Seahawks, so that's what they that's what 495 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: they've done well all year. They've done well all years. 496 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: Stop the run. The first time we shut them down, 497 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: fifty two yards and twenty two carries, most of it 498 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: coming off of one play, one little breakdown leet. Seattle's 499 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: has a fifth best rush defense in the NFL ninety 500 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: six yards. The forty nine Ers are the sixth beth 501 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: but there's a huge drop off between. So the Seahawks 502 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: will out ninety six yards on the ground the nine 503 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: Ers at one oh five. So the Seahawks, that's what 504 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: they do. The Niners are gonna try to run from 505 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: the rock, and I think fixed me tough for them 506 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: to do that. I think their only chance to win 507 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: this game is if George Kittle gets lose and if 508 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson finds early success in the run game. Lock 509 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: them down. Now another matchup. I really want to see 510 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: this matchup blow up. I want to see Russell do 511 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: what Russell has done for the majority of this season. 512 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson versus the forty nine Ers defense. My guy 513 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: has four thirty one yards, thirty eight touchdowns, thirteen interception, 514 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: also four hundred and eighty four yards on the ground, 515 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He needs two touchdowns to pass Damn Renel 516 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: for the second place for the most passing touchdowns in 517 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: the players first ninth season in NFL. Hittory. Okay, so 518 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: we got we got DK who's going for largest record. 519 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: We got Lockett who's going forth that while, and now 520 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: we have Russell Wilson going for Damn Rino. That's why 521 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: these dudes gotta play. I know they're not thinking about it, 522 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna think about it for you guys. I'm 523 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna speak it to life. I'm gonna put 524 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: it down the atmosphere. You guys, get it done. He 525 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: also needs one hundred eighty nine yards to said a 526 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: single season career high and break his franchise records record 527 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: with four thousand, two hundred and twenty yards. I mean, 528 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: there's still there's still some things to do. Now, there's 529 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: still some meat left on the play. Oh, there's a 530 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: lot to do. The thing I love about it too, 531 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: is the coach that they play for. It is always 532 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: going to compete. The Seahawks haven't had a ton of 533 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: games in the peak Caroll era that we're completely meaningless 534 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: in terms of whether you sit or start guys or playing, 535 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: getting ready for the playoffs, and there is still something 536 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: to play for. There's a potential for getting a two 537 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: seed and outside potential of the one seed. I think 538 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: what we'll see is everyone's gonna go out there and play. 539 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna compete, everyone's gonna go after it, and you're 540 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: gonna have some assistant coaches looking and watching what's going 541 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: on in Green Bay, what's going on in New Orleans. 542 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: And if those games were blowouts, maybe in the third 543 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: quarter you start to see a couple of guys come back, 544 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: But not after and not before we get get us 545 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: some records. Okay, yes, please, let's get some records, all right. 546 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: Despite the injuries, the forty nine is to have a 547 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: solid defense, like it's not gonna be a walk in 548 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: the park. That these guys still got to come out 549 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: and play their fifth in total defense, like we've mentioned earlier, 550 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: six against the run, fourth against the past, just allowing 551 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve yards per game. Now, there's another 552 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: guy that you and I really liked on film. Tell 553 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: me about him, Fred Warner, number fifty four for the 554 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. Honestly, even though a fully 555 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: healthy team, Fred Morner might be their best ball round player. 556 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: He's got one hundred fifteen tackles, two interceptions, one force fumble, 557 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: two fumble recovery, six basses defended, four tackles for lost, 558 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: five QB hits. And we talked about this all the 559 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: time in the pre and post. Guys that jump off 560 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: the film. When you watch it, you're like, someone pops. 561 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: Number fifty four definitely does that. I was watching them 562 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: play what he can do in the run game Arizona 563 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: last week came out in an empty set, so there's 564 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: three receivers to the defense is right, two receiver defenses left, 565 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: and Warner popped out. He had number three and number 566 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: three runs a bend route essentially going to the other seam, 567 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: a vertical route essentially four verds. He runs across and 568 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Warner turns, runs with him fifty yards down field and 569 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: gets a pass breakup. I mean, the dude is just special. 570 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: He can do it all. He's not the only good 571 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: number fifty four playing linebacker in this division. That is true. 572 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: And even the other fifty four we're talking about. B 573 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Wags showed him some love and said, look, this guy 574 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: is the future, and fare Warner shows Bobby some love. 575 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: So you like the mutual respect. But it's time to compete. 576 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: It's time to get out of their path to victory. 577 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: At the forty five, waits for the snaff, Michael Vickson 578 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: puts it down. That kick is away. If that kick 579 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: is Gounod say Fi's gun. It's a path to victory 580 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: on Hawk Talk. Path to victory. Continue to dominate on defense. 581 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: Be the defense that we've seen since week eleven. There's 582 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: no better defense out there. Since the defense has identified themselves, 583 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: they figured out who they are. Everyone knows the roles. 584 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: You got a great rotation on the defensive line. You 585 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: got a corner in DJ Reid that's came out of 586 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: nowhere and been holding it down. Shack is healthy, Jamal 587 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: has two broken fingers, but it don't matter. He's gonna 588 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: do his thing. Diggs is making plays, Bobby's making tackles. 589 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: Jordan Brexon me. The list goes on and on. Jay 590 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: Reid has six and a half sacks. He's making his money. Defense, 591 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: do what you've been doing and dominate. Yep. And to dominate, 592 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: you gotta make CJ. Bethar look like a thirston quarterback. Okay, 593 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: he's not Jimmy G's not Nick Moons. He's a great 594 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: character guy. He does a lot of things. He has 595 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: a lot of respects in that locker room. But we 596 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: gotta make him look like a thirstin quarterback. He's had 597 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: to throw an interception in twenty twenty. I see that 598 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: changing against the Seahawks. Continue to bring pressure and crease 599 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: that sack total, and guys like Quandre Dicks go get 600 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: you another pick, go get you another one, and take 601 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: care of the football. On offense. I almost don't want 602 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: to say it, but I'm gonna say Chris Carson is 603 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: not fumble this year. What do you have like four 604 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: or six of them last everyone's tripping. Oh my god, No, 605 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: it was a flute. Chris is good, he's good to go. Russell, 606 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: take care of the football. No need to force things 607 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: down the film. I like the offense right now. I 608 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: think them taking the short stuff is gonna open up 609 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: the deep football. So keep taking care of the football. 610 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: Be responsible. Yeah, man, And they have an opportunity breaks 611 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: and records. Obviously, the number one thing is to win 612 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: the football game. But the receiving corps man DK metcalf 613 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: six yards short of Largens record Lockett needs seven receptions 614 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: to rake Bobby Ingram's reception record in the season, and 615 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: with thirty six yards, him and DK go over a 616 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: thousand yards. Those are some really special numbers, some records 617 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: that we expect to see those two all over the 618 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: Seahawk record book. But it'd be great to get that 619 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: done on Sunday own the NFC West, finish strong against 620 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: the rival. Do what you do. Hey, I'm getting excited. 621 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm not looking ahead. I'm not looking ahead, but it's 622 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: on the horizon and I just want these guys to 623 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: come out, perform on Sunday and then get ready to 624 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: ball out as time to win another championship.
