Powered by Seahawks dot Com one 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: of twelves. This is Hawk Talk Preview edition, Week eight. 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: The Seahawks take on the forty nine ers. I'm Michael 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: Bumpas along with Nasa Choby. But before we get into 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: the details, here's the injury update. Thanks bump Well, we 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: got a lot going on in this week's injury report, 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: some good news and a lot of we'll have to 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: wait and see. Head coach p Carroll got things going 17 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: with an update on the entire running back room. Carlos 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: with the hamstring is probably know that it's not a 19 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: major hamstring, so we don't know. It was kind of 20 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: it happened during a celebration more than running on the field, 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 1: and so we're hoping it was a little more crampy 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: than it was a pull. We'll find out here in 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: the next couple of days. Homer, he's got a bruise 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: knee that he's already moving way way better. He won't 25 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: practice today, but he's moving way better from yesterday already. 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: And Chris has got a foot something's going on in 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: his foot that we got to make you see how 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: it goes. We'll be real quiet on Chris until the 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: end of the week and see how he goes on 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: the weekend. So we won't know entirely what's happening until 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: the week is out. Another guy that we've been eagerly 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: awaiting his return, and that is Jamal Adams. Just how 33 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: close is he to coming back. He's gonna be practicing 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: in a limited fashion for the first time today and 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: so we'll see what that means and see how he goes. 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: And tomorrow would be a really important day for him 37 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: as well. Friday. We're going one day at a time, 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: and we're mixing him in in the preparation with the 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: thought that there's a chance and but we're gonna just 40 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,919 Speaker 1: have to wait and see how he does. And finally, 41 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: to wrap things up, Shaquiel Griffin is still in concussion 42 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: protocol after suffering that against the Cardinals last week. But 43 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: some good news is Rashime Green and Phil Haynes are 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: finally on the road back. He's going to practice this 45 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: week and Philippines were both coming out on the practice 46 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: field for the first time in a long time. So 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: we're really excited to get them back out there. And lastly, 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: before we get going, don't forget to join Hawks Live 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: every Thursday at seven pm.

At the seahawks 53 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: next matchup, which is the San Francisco forty nine Ers, 54 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: let's get into who's next, Who's next, Who's next, Who's next. 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who's next. In San Francisco forty nine 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: Ers are four and three, and that is last place 57 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: in the NFC West. That's why last place. That's how 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: great this division is right now. Now they have losses 59 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: to Arizona, Eagles and Miami. They're wins come against two 60 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: horrible New York teams, the Jets and the Giants. They 61 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: got an impressive win against the Rams and just smacked 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the New England pages. What are your first impressions on 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: this team? Are they for real? You know? I went 64 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: back and forth on this because honestly, at the beginning 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: of the year, I was like, Okay, they played Arizona 66 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: full strength, so they lost to Arizona with all their dudes, 67 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: and then they go to New York they started getting 68 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: kind of banged up, and it was like, you said, 69 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: those teams are just not good football teams right now. 70 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: And then I kind of thought they were done. I 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: was getting ready to write them off after losses to 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles and getting throttled by Miami at home. But 73 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: the last two weeks bump, they're kind of hanging into 74 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: They're getting a couple of guys back, Roppolo came back. 75 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: They beat the Rams, who are a decent team. We 76 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: still can't figure them out, and they just I mean, 77 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: they beat the brakes off the Patriots last week. Man, 78 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: that was something. So they're kind of there. I don't 79 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: really know what to think about them. Yeah, I mean, 80 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: this is the NFL, so you respect everybody. But they 81 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: just smacked the Pages and the Pages aren't doing great. 82 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: It was thirty three to six. The Pages can do anything. 83 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: They put a two hundred and forty two total yards 84 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: and just you look at the drive charts. Five play drive. 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: This is for the Patriots. Five play drive six play 86 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: drive one three two eight. I mean towards the end 87 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: of the game, they started to extend their drives, I 88 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: guess by one or two first downs. But it ends 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: in the field goal interception interceptions. Didn't they end the game? 90 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: New England ain't right. But you can't knock the forty 91 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: nine ers for going back to Foxborow where Jimmy g 92 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: got his start. Is probably nice for him to go 93 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: in there him and smack these dudes, and they just 94 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: got the job done. I look at this team and 95 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, when they're healthy, they're a good football team. 96 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: But how healthy are they going to be? As a question? 97 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: How healthy they're gonna be as a great question because 98 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: Bump you mentioned it. Their injuries are unbelievable. So just 99 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: to just give you some context, guys of how bad 100 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: it's been for the Niners this season. The team that 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: was in the Super Bowl last year, they only have 102 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: four starters on the field from that team that took 103 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: the field against the Chiefs. I mean Richard Sherman out, 104 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: Kawan Alexander gone, defensive end, Nick Bosa gone, d Ford gone, 105 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward, Tart gone, and now you have Mostard and 106 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman going to IR. Then you have Deebo Samuel 107 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: going to IR. So they've been banged up and they've 108 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: been they've been crushed by injuries, similar to how the 109 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: Seahawks were at the end of last season when they 110 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: played that Week seventeen game. But they are they're struggling. 111 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: But with that being said, even with all that, the 112 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: dudes that they do have, which we'll get to a 113 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: man up, are playing pretty good football. They still got 114 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: use Jack, they still got George Kittle, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Bump. 115 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: When you look at this head to head comparison, man, 116 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: what stands out to me is their defensive numbers. Yeah. Defense, defense. 117 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what has impressed us the most about 118 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: the forty ninets over the past few years is their defense. 119 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: So I mean, again we'll get into two more they 120 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: had to head matches when it comes to the person now. 121 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: But now we look at the numbers. Their rush offense 122 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: had the eighth ranked rush offense in the league. They 123 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: have the twenty first ranked pass offense. That gives me 124 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: hope optimism. We know how the Hawks give up a 125 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: lot of yards in the past games, so hopefully they 126 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: lock it down there their past defense though they are 127 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: number three in the NFL with past defense allowing two 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: hundred and three yards. To me that will mean to 129 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: know because you got Russell Wilson, you got DK you 130 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: got locked, you got Greg Olson, David Moore, you got 131 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: guys who are just gonna do their thing regardless. But 132 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: we have to, I guess, recognize that it might be 133 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: tougher when it comes to the past game, especially coming 134 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: off the game that Russell had last week. He's got 135 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: to bounce back, He's got to take care of the football. 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: Though they are the number three ranked past the past 137 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL, I expect him to get back 138 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: on track. The Seahawks, Oh, no question about it. And 139 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: the thing about that too is I think what's inflated 140 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: those numbers a little bit is like you mentioned earlier, 141 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: is playing both teams from New York. I mean, they 142 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: completely shut those guys down in the passing game, so 143 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: I think that inflates their numbers a little bit. Not 144 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: to take away from them, because like I said, I 145 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: think they're a good team through the fifth ranked of 146 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: scoring defense, only allowing nineteen points per game. But as 147 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: we've learned last week even I mean the Cardinals winning 148 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: too that game the number two scoring defense and the 149 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: Seahawks put up a ton of points on them. So 150 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get right offensively. Like we mentioned, 151 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: there's no way Russell Wilson throws three interceptions again. Especially 152 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: we come in with a number one ranked offense in 153 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: yards and in points per game. So I definitely think 154 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: this is a game where the Seahawks can kind of 155 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: get right in. The Seahawks are historically very good coming 156 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: off of a loss under the Carroll and Russell Wilson. Well, 157 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I hope they continue that trend because they need to 158 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: bounce back. We talked about these teams currently. Now let's 159 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: go back in time. Know your history, No your history, 160 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: all right, So these teams have played a time in 161 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: the last you know, thirty years or so. Seattle leads 162 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: the all time series twenty five to seventeen. Seahawks have 163 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: been absolutely dominant since Russell Wilson was drafted. In this series, 164 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Russell has won twelve of sixteen games played, including nine 165 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: in a row at one point. Unfortunately, their last meeting, 166 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: we all know what happened. Came down to a fourth 167 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: to ten, you convert onto the goal line complete to 168 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 1: Jacob Polliser just short. Seahawks lose, Niners win the division. 169 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. We know what happened at dad of that. Well, 170 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I'd rather think about because the time they met before 171 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: that was also in twenty nineteen, when it came down 172 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: to this in overtime, after forty five waits for the snack, 173 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: Michael Dickson puts it. Yeah, that kick is away, and 174 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: that kick is good. The Seahoups win. It's good some 175 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: forty two. The Seahawks in overtime went for the second time. 176 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: Get two weeks have they been the undefeated now? Once 177 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: defeated San Francisco forty nine ers. What a game on 178 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The Seahawks win it overtime and Jason 179 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: Meyers does it. What a game? The thing that I 180 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: like about this is that the Seahawks dominated the Niners 181 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: in that in between right after the run ended with 182 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Kaepernake and Harbor on all of that, the Niners didn't 183 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: have a good football team for a long time. What 184 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I loved about last year is that rivalry finally came back. 185 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: It wasn't quite at the peak as it was in 186 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, but it felt good again in both games 187 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: coming down to the wire. So you know, you always 188 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: gotta get your popcorn ready in this environment. So it's 189 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: good to see some of that come back. You always 190 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: gotta get your popcorn ready, regardless when it comes to 191 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Now, you thought the forty nine is in there, 192 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: so you know is going to be a tough one 193 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: in history says that, then the Seahawks should be able 194 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: to take care of this, but you never know. This 195 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: is the NFL. Let's talk about what's going on in 196 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: the division. What's the word in the West and the 197 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks are the NFC West champs again, what's the word 198 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: in the West? On Hawk talk? The word in the 199 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: West is the West is the best NFC West Man 200 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: Hawks are five and one, Cardinals, five and two, Rams, 201 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: five and two, San Francis at last place at four 202 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: and three. Now, the Seahawks are still number one in 203 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: the in the division regardless or excuse me, after losing 204 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday Night football. Now, the 205 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: West hasn't combined seven h four win percentage. That's nineteen 206 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: and eight combined record. That's tied for the second highest 207 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: combined percentage for division through seven weeks since the nineteen 208 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: seventy merger. This, I mean, we knew this division was 209 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: gonna be tough coming into the season. I didn't think 210 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: it was gonna be this difficult. You can't go into 211 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: in this division now because of this. Now, if you 212 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: have some teams who are at the bottom of the 213 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: barrel against sloppy not playing good football, you'd be like, Okay, 214 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: let's not panic, let's not worry about this. If they 215 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: do lose, we can move on. At this point, this 216 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: is a must win game. And that's crazy that we're 217 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: talking about a must win game or a team that 218 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: is five and one. No, it's absolutely nuts. And like 219 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: you said, this is the best division in football. The numbers, 220 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: I'll say it. If the playoffs started today, there'll be 221 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: three playoff teams from the NFC West, and that's still 222 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: very especially with a new playoff format where you only 223 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: you have seven teams in there and only one team 224 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: gets the first round by it is very possible that 225 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: three teams from this division can get into the postseason. 226 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, Bump, you mentioned it, man, I mean you 227 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: have six division games. I think the winner of this 228 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: division is probably gonna go four and two. You cannot 229 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: go under. You can't get behind. If you're owned two, 230 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard to bounce back because now 231 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: you start thinking of tiebreakers and all these other things 232 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: down the stretch. Obviously, we can me and you can 233 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: talk about getting ahead of ourselves. That's not something the 234 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: Seaoffs will do one day when we get a time. 235 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: But looking forward, you can't have teams with the tiebreaker 236 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: over you because you can come down the later in 237 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: the year and they beat you again, then you're out 238 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: on the tiebreaker. So it's definitely something that you gotta 239 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: start quick with and you can't go on too. The 240 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: thing that scares me the most about this division is 241 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: that every team has a better defense than the Seahawks. Today, 242 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: every team has a better defense than the Seahawks. So 243 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: the Hawks gonna have to make some moves, They're gonna 244 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: have to adjust, They're gonna have to fix some things 245 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: to compete. But the thing that keeps me optimistic is 246 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: that the Seahawks have the best offense when it comes 247 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: to these teams in this division, So they are prepared 248 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: for a shootout. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but 249 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: if it does go down to a shootout, we know 250 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: that these guys will be able to get it. Domb 251 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: Jared Goff last game had another fishing but average ninety 252 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: at twenty was twenty three U thirty three twenty nineteen 253 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. The Rams. When I look at 254 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: the Rams, they finally have a run game that is 255 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: a big boy run game. They got some backs who 256 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: are loader, lower the shoulder, deliver a boom, and get 257 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: north and side. They still get cute with their formations 258 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: and their motions and their shifts and all that stuff. 259 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: But what I'm seeing out of this team is that 260 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: they can hand the ball off and go San Francisco 261 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Seems like whoever is their running back, 262 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: wherever their running back is, it could be monstered, it 263 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: can be Wilson who's injured now? Who had three touchdowns 264 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: the last game. It could be McKinnon coming and Tevin Coleman. 265 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: They got some guys who can get it done. So 266 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: I know Wilson is probably out for this game, but 267 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sleep on the run game. And then 268 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, I mean, Kyler Murray looked looked at 269 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: his reason to be in the NFL. Russell Wilson looked 270 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: him eye to eye and say, you know what, I'm 271 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna outperform you this game. This division gets scarier and 272 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: scarier every week. This is an important game, no question 273 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: about it. The only thing that I that I will 274 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: enjoy about this division other than when the Seahawks have 275 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: to play within it to him yet times is that 276 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: teams are gonna beat each other up. The Niners, the Cardinals, 277 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: the Rams, They're gonna beat each other ups. They're gonna 278 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: be some attrition here in the division. And as good 279 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: as the Cardinals looked on Sunday Night Football and as 280 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: good as Kyler looked, Bake are not complete yet. They're 281 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: an inconsistent team because they can play up. I mean, 282 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: it's easy to get up for the Seahawks at home. 283 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: They're undefeated, they're the best team in the league. Russell Wilson, 284 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: it's really easy to get up for that. They have 285 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: a buy. It would be interesting to see how they 286 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: respond after that when it's not The Steaks aren't as high. 287 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: And then you mentioned the Rams. It's hard to put 288 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: their finger on them. But they're starting to get going 289 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: again and they give us problems all the time. So 290 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: I mean, you can you can stay too in the face. 291 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: It's the best division in football and you're gonna have 292 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: to come with it weekend and week out. I mean, shoot, 293 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: the Niners are four and three, they're in last place. 294 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: They would have a two and a half game lead 295 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: in the NFC East right now for first, so that 296 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: just kind of gives you the rundown in the NFC West. 297 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: But now it is time to man up. Is this 298 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: man up on Hawk Talk? Man, we're gonna talk about 299 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: some matchups we're gonna focus on this week. The first one, 300 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: of course, is Jimmy Garoppolo versus the Seattle Seahawks of 301 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: defense eighty three of one, twenty four one thousand and 302 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: twelve yards, sevent tds and four interceptions. He's been sacked 303 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: eight times that means guys are getting to him. Maybe 304 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: the Hawks will get into him. Maybe this is a 305 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: game where something happens and they figure out a pass 306 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: for us. Now, he's missed two games because of an 307 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: ankle injury, so I'm not saying I've had a high 308 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: ankle sprain before. He's not one hundred percent. He might 309 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: be ninety, he might be eighty five. But there are 310 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: times in a game where you get rolled up on, 311 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: you're pushing off of that back. Lag is when it 312 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: comes to him and it starts to wear down, it 313 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: starts to get sore. He's constantly entreating him. Get after 314 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: this quarterback. He is not going to get outside the pocket. 315 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: He is not Kyler Murray. He's not going to be 316 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: special outside the pocket. He wants to stand there and 317 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: get the ball out as fast as possible. But that's 318 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: the thing I see on film, Jimmy, He's got a 319 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: quick release and he sees it and he believes it. 320 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: He lets that thing go and it's out and there hurt. 321 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: But we have the pressure this dude, oh no question 322 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: about it. And thinking about their game plan is they're 323 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: not this is a team that's gonna bombit down the 324 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: field every time, time and time again. He wants to 325 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: work inside the numbers. It's a quick release, it's the 326 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: short game stuff. It's a lot of drags and crossers, 327 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: and you know they'll they'll do a lot of fancy 328 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: emotion stuff and they'll use George Kittle, they do all 329 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: these other things. But like you said, the name of 330 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: the game is pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo. If you look 331 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: at the games that we played against them last year, 332 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: when he had time, that's when he was able to 333 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: get things going. But when game's on the line and 334 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: all the pressures there on him, if you get after him, 335 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: he gets kind of rattled. He makes some throws that 336 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: he probably shouldn't make. One of his interceptions against the Patriots, 337 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: he just throws a ball to the outside. What you 338 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: want to force him to do, throw outside the numbers, 339 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: and he kind of lets it float out there on 340 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: a faithball and it gets intercepted. So the name of 341 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: the game is get pressure on Jimmy g for sure. 342 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: And this got'd be a week where he gets held 343 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: under three hundred yards. That's in the past, our past defense. 344 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: This is where we get right in the stat sheets 345 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: here right come on another guy. You gotta look at 346 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: George Kittle versus Seahawks front seven, best tied end of 347 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: the league. I mean, you got you got Andrews in Baltimore, 348 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: who can compete Kelsey King people. But this guy is 349 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: the best tight end in the league. He's missed two games, 350 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: he still has thirty five receptions, four hundred and thirty 351 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: five yards and two touchdowns. He is one of the 352 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: few tight ends that they will isolate on the backside 353 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: of a formation. Get him mashed up with a corner 354 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: and he will still go to work. He will still 355 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: route them up. Typically you want to get a mashup 356 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: on a safety, drag him across the field, which he does. 357 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: He does that as well. But you can line him 358 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: up as a receiver and he's good enough to get open. 359 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: He's big, he's fast, he still has great hips, he 360 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: has good routes. He's the complete tight end. He does 361 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: it in everything. Like you said, it's very rare that 362 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: you have a tight end and it's not just a 363 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: thrower route. They put him out there to isolate him, saying, hey, 364 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: we want to get him the ball, and they'll bring 365 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: him inside and he's a monster in the run game. Dude. 366 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: He I don't care if you're a defensive end, you're 367 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: a linebacker, he gets hands on you, it's a bad day. 368 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: And George Kittle best tight end in the game, He's 369 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: definitely made a problem. You're gonna need to know where 370 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: that guy is every single play. Now. It's the running 371 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: game for the forty nine years, and typically we would 372 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: have some one specifically to watch for. But here's what 373 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: we know. Socking me Mostert not gonna be Tevin Coleman, 374 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: not gonna be Jeff Wilson Junior. After a great performance 375 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: three touchdowns last week. So when you go back and 376 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: look at the film, he was replaced by Combo and 377 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: Jamichael Hasy Jeric McKinnon and they use the use check 378 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. So for me, this is a key 379 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: matchup because you mentioned it earlier. Doesn't really seem like 380 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: it matters who's running the ball for them they have 381 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: in that offense. It seems like everyone gets to eat 382 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: a little bit. So this is a game where I 383 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: don't care who's running the ball. They can't. They can't 384 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: get off in this game. They need It's got to 385 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: be something where they kind of they started that a 386 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: little bit last week. I think the final numbers didn't 387 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: really do it justice because they held Kenny on Drake 388 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: in check pretty much all game until the very end. 389 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: So they need to build off what they did last week. 390 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: And because if you if you sow down this running 391 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: game and you make Jimmy Garoppolo have to throw the 392 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: ball time and time again to make them one dimensional, 393 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good day for the Seahawks defense. 394 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: It is going to be a good day. This offense 395 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: is a deception offense. They're going to motion guys over 396 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: have you should block the backside half Kittle release. They're 397 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: trying to expand the middle of the defense. Sold these 398 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: running backs can go to work. You have to be disciplined. 399 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: Next matchup. Fred Warner verse her body. This dude can play. 400 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: Man ranks among the top five according in PFF when 401 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: it comes to linebacker grades. Fifty seven tackles, three pass breakups, 402 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: two interceptions on the year. Had one last week against 403 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. I watched that film and broke 404 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: it down. This guy reads the run, drops into his zone, 405 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: fills the crosser coming across, flips his hips, gets the 406 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 1: eyes on the quarterback, I'm like, you're not paid to 407 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: do this, You're paid to make tackles. Yet he still 408 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: looks athletic in space. You have to know where he 409 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: is at all times, oh, no question about. And he's 410 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: definitely one of the best linebackers in the NFL when 411 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: it comes to pass defense. You know, typically when we 412 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: think of past defense, we think of our own, we 413 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: think of number fifty four. We think of someone who 414 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: can run, who can flip his hips and get back 415 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: Fred Warner. It's only a third year. I believe he's 416 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: drafted in twenty eighteen. Had to be yu and the 417 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: dude can play. And we got to learn a little 418 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: bit about that last year because last year he bawled out. 419 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: In that first game, he had ten tackles, two sacks, 420 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: and force fumble. So you're gonna need to know where 421 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: he is on the field for every every snap because 422 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: similar to last week where we need to know where 423 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: Buddha was, right, this is that type of player and 424 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: you need to know where he's ad on every snap, 425 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: especially coming off of our game last week. They do 426 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: any kind of deception stuff. He's a guy you got 427 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: to count for another matchup. Good old Russell Wilson versus 428 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: of forty nine ers defense. Russell's one fifty six for 429 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: two nineteen eighteen hundred yards, twenty two touchdowns, which leads 430 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: the league, six interceptions, twenty nine carries for three hundred 431 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: excuse me, two hundred and thirty seven yards. We saw 432 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: him get loose last week with his legs. He still 433 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: got some juice left. I was surprised with how quick 434 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: the old man not old. I guess he's a middle 435 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: aged man NFL now how the middle aged man looked. 436 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: But to me, he's still the MVP of the league. 437 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: He's still leading the chart, and every quarterback is allowed 438 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: that game. We got that game out the way, the 439 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: turnover game, the three interceptions, d poor decision making towards 440 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: the end of the game. We got that game out 441 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: the way. Now it's time for him to bounce back, 442 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: and I think he's capable, Oh, no question about it. 443 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Russell Wilson is thirty one and eight following 444 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: a loss, and that's the best record by a quarterback 445 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: since the nineteen seventy Mergers. So coming off a loss, 446 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: there's no one I'd rather have the number three quarterback 447 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: in And you could kind of telling his voice after 448 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: in the postgame show he was there, or in his 449 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: postgame in press conference. You can tell the loss. That's STU. 450 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: That stung. It's tongue a lot. And he was like, no, 451 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: those were on me. He didn't have he didn't pass 452 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: blamed anyone else. He didn't say no, So and So 453 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: didn't come this or I thought DK was going to 454 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: come back to the ball, this and that. He said, no, 455 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: all those are on me. And you know he's gonna 456 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: come with it this week. And I mean, I think 457 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: Russ is just we know how good he is. He's, 458 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 1: like you said, still the MVP of the league. He's 459 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 1: still almost breaking records every single week. Needs one more 460 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: win to Typeyton Manning for first place in the NFL's 461 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: all time winning his quarterbacks in the first nine seasons. 462 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: Needs five tds to pass Tom Brady for most touchdown 463 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: passes open his season twenty seven. So the dude is 464 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: still on pace to do all of those things. He's 465 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: still the best quarterback in the league. We need a 466 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: big bounce back game for him. And if you're the Niners, 467 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: I would be scared because Number three coming up a 468 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: loss is a scary sight. Number three. He's gonna bounce 469 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: back if firmly believe that, and I think they'll be 470 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: able to get this win. Now, the forty nine ers 471 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: have a strong defense, breaking fifth and scoring defense third 472 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: and past defense. Something has to give. As the Seahawks 473 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: present the number one offense in terms of yardage and points, 474 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: they just have to do what they've been doing. Now 475 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: we talked about Russell having a I wouldn't even call 476 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: it a horrible game. He just made three mistakes. You 477 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: look at the stats. Dude, still have a good game 478 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: still through through three touchdowns. But they're gonna like to 479 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: scoreboard up all They needs a couple of songs from 480 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: that defense. Russell's gonna do the same. DK's gonna ball out. 481 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: What's another matchup we're looking at. You mentioned it the receivers, 482 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf versus secondary. Now we've been saying 483 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: this all year. I'll continue to beat this drum. This 484 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: is the best tannem in the NFL. Okay Lockett in 485 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: Metcalf rank nine and eleven, respective leaders heaving yards in 486 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. No other team has two receivers in the 487 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: top fifteen. Tyler Lockett leads the league in touchdowns with seven. 488 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf is tied for fifth with five. And the 489 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: thing about it is pick your poison. He saw it 490 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: last week if they the Cardinals made an effort to 491 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: take away DK Metcalf. Okay, so what happened Tyler Lockett 492 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: had one of the best games Enfranchise history. So it's 493 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: something that you can't shut them both down. It's just 494 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: it's impossible to shut them both down. So I think 495 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: these two are gonna get loose in the secondary. And 496 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers numbers in terms of 497 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: where they rank defensively is gonna take a hit this 498 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: week with these two. It's gonna take a hit. One 499 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: of these guys is gonna go for over one hundred, 500 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: hopefully both of them go for over one hundred and 501 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. Also, we didn't mention this in 502 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: the matches, but I love what happened last week with 503 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: the tight ends. Every tight end, every tight end who 504 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: suited up had two receptions. Greg had two, Disley had two, 505 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: Jacob Hollister had two. That's another dimension that I wanted 506 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: to see them add to their offense. And it's starting 507 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: to get going. So that is encouraging. So now we 508 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: talked about the matchups. Here is the path to victory. 509 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickton puts 510 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kicks, it's gun. 511 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: It's a path to victory on Hawk Talk after victory. 512 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: Number one, pressure on Jimmy G. You cannot have a 513 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: repeat performance like against Arizona Colonels. No sacks, no pressures. 514 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: Kyla Murray's back there making a sandwich in a kitchen. 515 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: You see that play where he looked at Hopkins, manned 516 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: up and smiled before he threw the football. Like this 517 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: dude was so relaxed in the pocket, nothing to worry about, smiling, 518 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: tossing dimes. You gotta make Jimmy G have to move 519 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: in that pocket. He's not a mobile guy. He's not 520 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: a statue either. I mean he does have I guess, 521 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: some good footwork, but he's not a guy who's gonna 522 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: get out the outside the pocket and hurt. You get 523 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: after Jimmy G. D line. This is the week where 524 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: you get your sacks up. Oh, no question about it. 525 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: Jaron Reid, Puna Ford Benson Mayowa. If Rasheem Green comes back, 526 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: you guys need to get after it this week, especially 527 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: because you mentioned it coming off an ankle injury. If 528 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: you get pressure on him all game long and he 529 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: has to throw off his back foot, you have to 530 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: throw off an injured ankle. I know it's been a 531 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but you're still you're still thinking about it. 532 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: So maybe you kind of start to throw off your 533 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: back foot and your mechanics get off and that's when 534 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: you start making plays. And again, despite the yardage our 535 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: defense is given up, they've been creating turnovers. That's the 536 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: one thing that they've done really well this season is 537 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: create turnovers. And it starts up front with the D line. 538 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: If they can get pressure on him, then I look 539 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: for Shaquille Griffin, Quentin Dunbar, Quandre Diggs, Ryan Neil, those 540 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: guys that make a couple of plays in the secondary. 541 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: They got to keep under four hundred yards nass. Seems 542 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: like everybody goes over the four hundred yard mark against 543 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: this defense. This is the week, am I I'm just 544 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: an optimistic guy. I see the improvements. I feel like 545 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: they're getting closed. I feel like they're one or two 546 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: moves away. Low Keep might have made one or two 547 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: moves already. Well that's for another another podcast. But I 548 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: feel like they're getting close. I know it is disheartening 549 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: and disappointing for twelves to look at how much time 550 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks have and how they're throwing the ball down 551 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: the field and how there are big plays out there. 552 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: But these coaches are looking at this film. These players 553 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: are looking at this film. They're not ignoring their strengths 554 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: and weaknesses. They're going to work on things, but rule 555 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 1: number one, keep them under four hundred yards. If they 556 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: do that, we know the offense is going to get 557 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: over four hundred yards and they'll take care of business. 558 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: You keep on the a four hundred yards. You're winning 559 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: this game by fourteen plus. I mean straight up, because 560 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: I do not think that the Niners can stop the 561 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: Seahawks offensively. If that happens to Seahawks stopped themselves. There's 562 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: just too many good athletes on defense. There's just too 563 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: many of them. Bobby Wagner is too good, Kaja writes 564 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: too good, Killed Griffin's too good, Quadri Digs is too good. 565 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: There's too many guys on that side of the ball 566 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: for us to be given up this many yards and 567 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: it starts up front, and like you said, being an optimist, 568 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: at some point everything comes together. It right, because you 569 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: can have ten guys on every play do exactly what 570 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: they're supposed to do, and you can get beat on 571 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: every single play and give up five hundred yards because 572 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: it's always one guy doing something here, it's one guy 573 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: doing something there. So they got put it all together, 574 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: all eleven guys hold them utter four hundred yards. Can 575 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: we get off the field on third down? Please? Get 576 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: off the field on third down? Avoid the penalties. Last game, 577 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: it was like it felt like they were close, but 578 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: then something would happen. A guy would jump off sides 579 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness, called his bobby, which was ridiculous. What happened. 580 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: It's all about that third down again. I feel like 581 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: they're getting closer. Get off the field on third downs, 582 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: avoid the big penalty and of course bump, don't miss 583 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: another opportunity. It's about owning the NFC West. There are 584 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: signs in the building that's what they need to do. 585 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: You cannot start oh into in the division. If you 586 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: want to get to where you want to get to 587 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: in February, it starts within this division. They got to 588 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: take care of Business. Russell bounced back in the biggest way, 589 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: simple as that you did. You had a decent game, 590 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: did throw three interceptions? That's not gonna happen again this year. 591 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee that, folks, has been a few 592 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: years since it happened.
