Touchdown. 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: the folks on? Michael Bumps along with Nasad Shelby and 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: this is Hot Talk recap. Addition, the Patriots taken al 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks thirty five to thirty came down to 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: the last play like we normally do. Let's get into 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: the trenches with Ray Roberts. It's time to go inside 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: the trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts, Gray Thriller on 16 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football. How you feeling, man, I'm feeling a 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: little bit tired. Is a long night, you know on 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: the radio, and uh, you know, the motions were up 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: and down with that game, and then also trying to 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: bring some energy to the stadium for the team. But 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: then it's it's great to wake up too and no 22 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: great to wake up two. And it really felt like 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: the Seahawks had control of the game until that very 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: last drive. What do you think we learned about these 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: guys on Sunday? Well, I think what we've learned about 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: this team just in these first two games is that 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: on offset, they are a juggernaut. They are well primed, 28 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: everyone seems prepared. Russell is just like a you know, 29 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: we said last night, he's like a like a cheap code. 30 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: I think I think now they call it the X 31 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: factor on on Madden, and his star lights up and 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: he just can't be wrong until every seems like every 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: decision he makes when he chooses to pull the ball 34 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: down and run, when he chooses to move around in 35 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: the pocket and buy more time when he slows the ball, 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: and rhythm when he shows a short, medium long like 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: he just seems to be on point with every single 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: thing he's doing. And then I love the way that 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: the team is using the running backs. It seems like 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: in previous years it always seemed like three or four 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: or five games into the season before Pete Carroll had 42 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: to have a talk with the offensive coordinator. Then they 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: get their identity down and then they go on with 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: the season. This year, they just hit the ground running. 45 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: They know exactly who they are, exactly what they're trying 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: to get done. And then on the defensive side, man like, 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: they're trying to work some things out. They got some 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: new pieces, they're trying to figure out what's going on 49 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: with the you know who can make plays in the 50 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: defensive line. But they showed tremendous resilience last night just 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: being on the field for long drive. That last drive 52 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: was really long. Guys were gassed, a little bit tired, 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: but somehow, some way they made a play. Well, this 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: segment is called in the Trenches with Ray Robbers, So 55 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: let's get in these trenches real quick. Ray, how did 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: you feel about the offensive lin's performance last night? You know, 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: I thought they played really well, you know, really to see. 58 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: There was some pressure here and there, but that's to 59 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: be expected. I felt that Damian Lewis with all the 60 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: different looks that Bill Belichick defense can give you. They 61 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: had defensive lineman lining up over him, dbs lining up 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: over him, linebackers lining up over him. They're running all 63 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: types of games and stuff like that. So, h there 64 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: was a lot to try to confuse that side of 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the ball, and for the most part, he held up. 66 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: He gave up the sack I think where he thought 67 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: that there was a game going to be played and 68 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: he was trying to pass the guy off to the center, 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: but it was just an inside rush. And then he 70 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 1: had he had a couple holding calls, but um, that's 71 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: a rookie thing. That's a that's a you know, getting 72 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: out of your college mindset thing, and those are things 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: that he can fix in practice. But overall, I thought 74 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the offensive line played well. I thought I thought they 75 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: could have even run the ball a little more. But 76 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: but I liked the way they're coming in rounding into shape. Yeah, 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: I feel like those issues with Damian Lewis you mentioned it, 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: those are just rookie mistakes. That's part of the learning curve. 79 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: Rights as the season goes along, you expect him to 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: eliminate those mistakes. Yeah, you know, so like when you're 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, I didn't. I wasn't a holding call, dude, 82 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: I had My My family was fall starts. But uh, 83 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: but in college you tend to be you know, when 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: you're a guy like him, you're you're a little bit 85 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: more dominant and stronger than the guys you play against. 86 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: It you used to just grabbing him and throwing them 87 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: to the ground, or in pass detection you just kind 88 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: of grab a hold of him and hold him in 89 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: place to throw him to the ground. And uh, and 90 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: you get you can kind of get away with it. 91 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: But in NFL, those are holding calls, and so uh, 92 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I did the scouting report 93 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: on him after they got drafted. The one thing I 94 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: said was that he tends to grab a lot, which 95 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: then ends up being holding calls in NFL. And so 96 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: that's just a matter of coaching a technique, retraining your 97 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: your your uh, the way you go about playing the game, 98 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: the way you think it through, and then uh, you know, 99 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: relearning that technique. It's not a thing that I think 100 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: it's going to be a long term issue. The guy's 101 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: just too good of a player. Uh. And and he's 102 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: around a bunch of other guys and Solari that can 103 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: teach him and coach them up. I'm with you, I'm 104 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: with you. So the Hawks had a more balanced attack 105 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: last night, thirty runs, twenty eight passes. Is this more 106 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: of the type of game we should expect going forward 107 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: with this football club? You know, in the pregame show, 108 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: Paul Morriers said that he thought the team had the offense, 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: had come to a place where they could just be 110 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: whoever they needed to be based on the team they 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: were planning. And my response was, well, they have to 112 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: like show that they could run the ball first before 113 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: they can say that, and I think last night they 114 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: did a good job of showing that they that they 115 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: can be effective in the run game, to the point 116 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: where if they're planning a team where the run game 117 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: seems to be the thing you lean on, then they 118 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: can lean on that. And if they need to throw 119 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: it then obviously Russell con throw it doesn't mean to 120 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: do this like over completion percentage right now and what 121 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: is it nine touchdowns or whatever? It is only seven 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: in completion. So they are getting to that place, I 123 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: think going into the rest of the season where they 124 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: can really game plan for which now they want to 125 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: come with. If they want to drop back and throw 126 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: it thirty times, or if they want to have it 127 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: more balanced like they had it last night. I feel 128 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: confident now watching this game that they can do the 129 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: things that Paul said that they could do in the 130 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: Free Game show. Right, it's all about being versatile. Well, 131 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: what's the defense giving you? They give me the run, 132 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: run the rock, they give you the past, you throw 133 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: the football, and I'm with you. I think that's kind 134 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: of where they're at right now. But this thing all 135 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: centers around Russell Wilson. Now, you've watched him for the 136 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: past several years, you've seen his development. Is this the 137 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: best Russell Wilson you've seen? I think it's the best 138 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: that we've seen because you know, what I think really 139 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: has unlocked Russell more than any of this stuff about 140 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: want him to be more aggressive with the ball and 141 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: all this other kind of stuff, is that they finally 142 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: finally gave him the keys to the car without strings 143 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: attached to it. Like before, I think they were like, Okay, 144 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: go do your thing, but we're gonna like, if it's 145 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: not quite right, we're gonna pull these keys back. And 146 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: this time they just said, dude, this is your car. 147 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: You can put new wheels on it, you can put 148 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: it cereal in it, you can tip the windows, you 149 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: can put a pin stripe on it. Whatever it is, 150 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: these keys are yours. And I feel like that's what 151 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: has unlocked Russell because when you see him out there now, 152 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: he plays as free as I've ever seen him play. 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: Like his decision making is clear. Uh, you know, when 154 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: he's making calls at the line of scrimmage, like I 155 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: said before, when he decides to step up in the 156 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: pocket or scramble or what have you, all of that 157 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: stuff is so on point. And I think that, you know, 158 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: for him, it has to feel great because, like he said, 159 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: this is what he's trained for his entire life. This 160 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: is the self talk that he's had with himself forever, 161 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: and I think this is really going to allow him 162 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: to unlock whatever else he needed to have to really 163 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: get people to see that this dude is an elite 164 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: player and right now, in this moment, he may be 165 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the NFL. Ray. When I got 166 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: the keys in my car, I put a spoiler on 167 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: that thing, a body kid, I lowered it, put some 168 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: rams on it. That's all right, That's where Russell's at. 169 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: He's I'm accustomed in this. It's mine now, I'm going 170 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: to customize this thing. Yeah, I remember my dad gave 171 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: me my cart, and there was so many parameters on it. 172 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: I could only have so many people in it. I 173 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: could only drive a certain thus an hour, I could 174 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: only go to certain places at a certain dip time. 175 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: And then when I then, when I finally got to 176 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: just do what I wanted to do, I felt like 177 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: I had a car. You know, it wasn't his part 178 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: that I was using. Yeah, sir, he's whipping it. Now. 179 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: So let's talk about Quandre Dicks. Now, you played in football. 180 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: I feel like it's the golden age of football where 181 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: you could be nasty, big hits and all that stuff. 182 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: Now Quandre got kicked out of a game over a 183 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: hit or a tackle, whatever you want to call it. 184 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: That I feel like this would have been shrugged off 185 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: maybe six to eight years ago. Do you feel like 186 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: a disqualification was merited. No, I don't think a disqual 187 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: I can understand why they may disqualify a person just 188 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: because they're trying to deter people from from doing it. 189 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, in the maybe that's something 190 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: that you do in college, but an NFL, I just don't. 191 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: I think you can get a penalty, he can get 192 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: a fine, and he can keep playing of it because 193 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: that has the ability to really impact the game. I 194 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: think it's it's unbelievably hard on defenders nowadays to figure 195 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: out how to hit someone, especially when you have a 196 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: mentality of a physical You want to play physical, you 197 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: want to send messages to guys when you hit them, 198 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: and it's really hard to do that nowadays because you 199 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: have to be so precise and how you tackle them. 200 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: And before you could, you could tackle people with reckless 201 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: of badness. You just fly up in there with everything 202 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: you have, and now you have to come up and 203 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: be thinking like, man, like, how is he gonna, you know, 204 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: take me on so that I can get my head 205 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: in the right place so I can hit him with 206 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: my shoulder, so that I don't hit him with my 207 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: face in it. So it's just like, I don't know 208 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: how you play the game as physical as you want 209 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: to play it and then still have to think to 210 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: all of that as you're trying to make a tackle 211 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: it and that includes you know, a play like a 212 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: bang bang play like that down the field for safety 213 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: or if you're sacking the quarterback. I mean, nowadays you 214 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: have about six inches that you can hit on the quarterback. 215 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: Without getting the penalty, and so I just don't understand 216 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: how how defenders can adjust to that. And I just 217 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: don't expect these penalties to go away because it's it's 218 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: it's part of this everybody's moving at the same time. 219 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: So how do you even if you take on the 220 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: right angle, the guy you're tackling can adjust his angle 221 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you have a penalty. 222 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: So it's it's just a really tough call. Yeah, it's tough, 223 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: and I'm a receiver and I feel for these defenders. 224 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: It makes it tough on them. It allows the game 225 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: to be wide open when it comes to throwing the 226 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: football and people want to see points being put on 227 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the on the scoreboard. But at the same time, you're 228 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: making their safeties and linebackers, anyone on defense, you're making 229 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: their job that much more tougher. So guys just have 230 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: to adjust. I guess you know you gotta do what 231 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: you have to do. Mike. Is that when I mean 232 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: didn't mean to cut you off. It's when when they 233 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: first put all these rules out. They're also the ability 234 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: for offensive players to be penalized for leading with the helmet, 235 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: and I don't I've never recalled here in one even 236 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: like the way a guard pulls and takes on a linebacker, 237 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: if he leaves with his head, it's supposed to have 238 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: telling the on the guard, so they have to leave 239 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: with their hands. And I haven't seen one single offensive 240 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: player of flags for leading with leading with their helmet, 241 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: and so it's just really interesting how and when they 242 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: choose to use that let that flag of that rule. 243 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: Now see I'm no scientists, but football is again of angles, 244 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: and when you are running, your body naturally goes into 245 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: a forty five degree angle. That's the power angle. You 246 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: don't tackle somebody standing straight up, you don't block somebody 247 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: standing straight up, So naturally there's gonna be a tilt 248 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: in your body, you know. So it's almost impossible for 249 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: these guys to keep their head out of it. And 250 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: if they do try to keep their hat out of it, 251 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of mistackles, a lot of 252 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: miss blocks. Well, you know, we all we have that saying, 253 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: uh say it with your chest. Uh, It's okay to 254 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: say things with your chest, but it ain't good to 255 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: block and tackle with your chair. You're gonna go home 256 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: with us, you know what, I'm saying, you're gonna have 257 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna have Roddelle printed on your chest. Okay, let's 258 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: talk about the last play of the game. Right, we 259 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: were one of the left ones. We got to be there, 260 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: We got to experience it. Um Cam Newton's down on 261 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: the one or the two yard line, they'd get into 262 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: their big boy formation. Everyone knows Cam is going to 263 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,599 Speaker 1: run this football. Walk us through that last play and 264 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: what you saw. Yeah, you know, I came home last 265 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: night and I looked at all of the touchdown runs 266 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: that Cam Newton had and I was trying to see 267 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: how our defense played it, and they kind of played 268 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: it straight up and they and on this last play, 269 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, I'm sure, like Paul said, you know, had 270 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: a call to make where he could plant the d 271 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: line to the right or to the left, and uh 272 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: and so on this last play, he slanted the defensive 273 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: line to the defense's right, which is to the left 274 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: side of the defense where Cam Newton was running. And 275 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: then doing that, uh, Lja Carrier was able to if 276 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: you watch the tackle over him, the tackle went straight 277 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: ahead and because LJ slanted, he kind of got the 278 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: edge on that tackle was able to stand in that 279 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: gap where where Cam was running. But at the same time, 280 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: Lane o' hill came up and took on the fullback 281 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: deep into the backfield, So it really restricted the lane 282 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: for Cam to run. And then the one thing I 283 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: noticed out of those touchdown runs that Cam had that 284 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: was different than this play was what Bobby Wagner did. 285 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: So on the other plays, the running touchdowns, he kind 286 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: of hesitated and bounced the place for a minute to 287 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: kind of see where Cam was going, and then he 288 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: tried to go make the play and he missed both times. 289 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 1: And then this time he attacked the backside gap. So 290 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: when you're playing against an offense that pulls guards to 291 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: stuff a lot, if you get into the hip of 292 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: that guard, it'll take you right to the ball most 293 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: of the time. Well, Bobby Wagner on that play got 294 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: right into the hip of the guard to where the 295 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: guard felt him had to stop and hold Bobby up. Well, 296 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: that also restricted the lane. It gave them a one 297 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: least body going through the hole. And so the three 298 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: of those guys together really collapsed the lane that Cam 299 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Newton had been creating for him in those previous two 300 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: touchdown those previous touchdowns, and so if you looked at 301 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: the play man it was well executed by Bobby, by 302 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: LJ and by Hill. They all did a great job 303 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: with just converging on that one spot to deep in 304 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: the backfield. For that Cam Newton couldn't get his speed up, 305 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: he couldn't jump over the top, there was no place 306 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: for him to go. The play was dead from the 307 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: moment the ball step. It's beautiful when it all comes 308 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: together like that, Bobby making the call, LANEO sat in 309 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: the edge, LJ getting low, getting low. I mean just 310 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: the way that Cam flips end over end. Let you 311 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: know this how low LJ got And I feel like 312 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: LJ needed that play. Ray. I mean, he's struggle last year, 313 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: he's getting the start this year. He's progressing slowly, but 314 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: this might be the play that really makes him tap 315 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: into another place in his brain and say, you know what, 316 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: I can do this now, let's let's go get nasty 317 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: and take this to the next level. Yeah. I think, 318 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, I've been a little bit hard on him. 319 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: You know, I just expected that. You know, I think 320 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: he had a decent camp and he came in in 321 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: great shade. Even though he you know, he missed a 322 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: lot of time last year, and I'm sure mentally he 323 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: was probably struggling. Uh, you know, having not played last year, 324 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: that sometimes being a healthy scratch. And I know, as 325 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: a as a former first round draft pick myself, a 326 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: lot of that stuff weighs on you because the expectations 327 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: are high, you know. And you can say that it doesn't, 328 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: but it does. And uh. And so I'm sure he 329 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: came into the season really wanting to flash and show 330 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: that he was worthy the first round draft pick. And 331 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: then the first game, you know, he had an early 332 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback and we fought like, oh, okay, 333 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: Lj's gonna do the same. That didn't hear a whole lot. 334 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: And then yesterday I thought he played tough. Uh. You know, 335 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: he filled some gaps on some run plays here and there, 336 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: But that play may be a play that really unlocks 337 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: the confidence and maybe the play that really unlocked him 338 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: to be able to just play free and loose and fast, 339 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: uh and strong the way that they thought he would play. 340 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: And so I don't know if he's ever gonna be 341 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: like a dominant defensive lineman, uh and have you know, 342 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: double digit sacks and all that. But I think he 343 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: could be a very good solid you know, uh, you know, 344 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: balance player against the run, in against the past. So 345 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: I was happy for him. It was cool to see 346 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: is the teammates celebrating with him, and every teammate that 347 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: was interviewed last night mentioned how excited they were for LJ. 348 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: So that that means a lot in the locker room. 349 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure it means a lot to him and hopefully 350 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: that'll be that'll be easy the play that kind of 351 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: kick starts his play with Seattle. Hopefully it does. Ray 352 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: as usual, appreciate you taking time out of your busy day. 353 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: You guys are just listen to Big Ray in the trenches. 354 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: We'll see we'll talk to you soon. Man, Yes, sir, 355 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: all right, Nas talks to two and oh man two 356 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: and no baby, it's always good. It's always great to 357 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: start off the year. Two and oh victory. Monday is 358 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: always a good thing here at the vMac. You know, 359 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,359 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you, at least from my perspective, 360 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: Monday's always tough after a loss. So yeah, anytime the 361 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: boys get it done on Sunday, it's a great way 362 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: to start your week. And the lessons you learn you 363 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: if the game wasn't perfect, it's great to learn those 364 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: lessons in a win. A win is a win, and 365 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: you'll take it anyway that you can. But we're gonna 366 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: talk about how they got that win in our next segment. 367 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: What had happened was see what had happened at first, 368 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: What had happened was unharked knock. What had happened was 369 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you exactly how they got this w 370 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: last night. Now, the first thing that happened is that 371 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: offense came out. What second play of the game, pick 372 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: six wasn't Russell's fault hit Greg greg Olson's hands. Um 373 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: Newland took care of it. But after that that offense 374 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: got rolling and they were firing on all cylinders. It 375 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: was fun to watch NaNs oh from the jump, honestly 376 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: like that for them to bounce back after that first drive. 377 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: You mentioned that passing ten from Greg Olson's super uncharacteristic 378 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: Greg is one of the most sure handed guys in 379 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: the NFL. Unfortunately doesn't happen. It's to pick six from 380 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: the jump. But you know Russell Wilson, his demeanor, he 381 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: was calm, there was no worry, no panic on that sideline, 382 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: and honestly, they were pretty much unstopable. The only things 383 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: that stopped them on Sunday were penalties against themselves. Wasn't 384 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: anything the Patriots are doing to them when they did 385 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: not get behind the sticks or anything like that. They 386 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: were not touched. I mean it was you know, touchdown, 387 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: plant touchdown, planning, touchdown, touchdown, plant, touchdown. So I mean 388 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: in all of the drives were they punted, they had penalties, 389 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: and that's kind of a crippled the drive. So if 390 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: they weren't their worst enemy, they were unstoppable on Sunday, 391 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: I agree with you. A matchup that I loved watching 392 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: DK or Stefan Gilmore. Gilmore, you know, he tried to 393 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: he tried to to big brother him. He was like, look, man, 394 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm the reigning defensive MVP in the league. I'm Stefan Gilmore. 395 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow you all game. And DK stepped up 396 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: to the challenge from the very first snap. You kind 397 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: of felt that you were the one who pointed it out. 398 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, man, watch DK and Stefan Gilmore. They're 399 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: getting at it. It was two alpha's going at each other, 400 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: and I feel like DK won that battle. Oh for sure. 401 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: And what I loved about it too is it was 402 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: on every play. It was on sometimes was more aggressive 403 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: on run plays because DK Metcalf's a big dude and 404 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: he takes pride in his runblocking ability. And you know, 405 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: step On Gilmore, like you said, trying to big brother him. 406 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: He was talking all game long and DK was like, Man, 407 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm not a little brow no more. You're not gonna 408 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: put your hands on me no more. I'm big now 409 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: you can you can't do that stuff to me, and 410 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: he was mo uhuhn, disrespect in my house like that. 411 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: So it was great to see DK step up and 412 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: he was incredibly physical and like you guys said on 413 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Danny and gall Out this morning, he threw step On 414 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: Gilhm out the club the sideline, he said, get out. 415 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: So I just love to see the fire and then 416 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: the pump up the sideline and everyone's juice about it. 417 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: So DK is definitely taking a step when you take 418 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: it to the former Defensive Player of the Year, step 419 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: On Gilmore, one of the best cornerbacks in the league. 420 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: So it's great to see from DK standpoint. Now two 421 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: years in a row, Russell Wilson is out the gates. 422 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Bawling nine touchdowns, only eleven in completion so far this season. 423 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure stat but I'm gonna 424 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: go ahead and say about twenty five quarterbacks had at 425 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: least eleven incompletions on Sunday. So Hustle is playing out 426 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: of his mind. We spoke to Pete earlier. He says 427 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: there's a lot of conviction in his throws. He's not 428 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: necessarily throwing it harder, but he just knows what he's doing. 429 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: He's he's settled into this new role that he has 430 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: because it feels like they're gonna ride him. They're gonna 431 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: let him do his thing now. It was even when 432 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: he came to run versus past, but it felt like 433 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: they came out the gate high throwing the football and 434 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: Russell was his executing at a high level. Well, yeah, 435 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: you're right. Like you guys, you and Ray were talking 436 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: about giving him the keys of the car. He really 437 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: has it and he's just so comfortable and when things 438 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: start breaking down and stepping up, like the first touchdown 439 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: of the game where he hit Tyler Lockett in the 440 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: back of the end zone, I mean that throw was 441 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: on the money. He had pressure coming towards him, steps 442 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: up in the pocket, kind of sidearm slings it, throws 443 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: a fastball to Tyler Locket and just the command he 444 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: has over this offense and this team is on a 445 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: different level right now. So those are the positives. Here's 446 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: a couple negative, man, Marky's Blair. I got hit by 447 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: friendly fire. Looked like kJ kind of rolled into his knee. 448 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: That force Ugo to come in, Diggs gut kicked out. 449 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: Despite all the adversity that these dudes faced, they found 450 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 1: a way to execute when it really happened. What's that 451 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: impact going to be without Marky's Blair out there. It's tough, man, 452 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: It's really tough because Marquise has been one of the 453 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: big bright spots on this defense so far this year. 454 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: He came in and just kind of took a hold 455 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: of that Nickel spot, which you know a lot of 456 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: people would assume that Ugo Monti was probably gonna get 457 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: that spot. Marquise Blair was all over it during camp. 458 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: He had a great camp, played well against Atlanta, was 459 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: playing well against the Patriots, and the thing that's just 460 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: it just different because not only is he our sorry nickel, 461 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: he's our backup safety as well when we're in base 462 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: So it just kind of takes away some of the 463 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: other things that we can do. And like there's times 464 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: where we'd bring in Dime and Lano Hill would come in, 465 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: so we'd be playing with six defensive back So without 466 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: Marquise out there definitely kind of alters what you can 467 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: do back there. Granted, the good thing about the Seahawks 468 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: is they're incredibly deep and the defensive backfield, So you know, 469 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: Ugo came in and stepped up great, Lano came in 470 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: and stepped up, So I'm confident that they're going to 471 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: be fine to get through it. Obviously hoping for the 472 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: best for Marquise that it's not a season any injury, 473 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: but it definitely is a blow to this defense. Yeah 474 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 1: it is. But it's also nice to see guys like 475 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: um dumb Bar Dunbar stepped up at the beginning of 476 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: the game was rough for him. Mister Tackle could have 477 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: had a pick six, but it seemed like he settled down, 478 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: gotten too his groove, stuck with his technique and ended 479 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: up picking off Kim. For this secondary to take the 480 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: next level without Marquis Blair, that guy has to continue 481 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: to take steps in the right direction, and as the 482 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: season goes along, as he gets healthier, because he mentioned 483 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: his offseason wasn't the greatest obviously with all that other 484 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 1: stuff that was going on, this guy's a key piece 485 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: of that. He's got to step it up or keep 486 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: playing at the level he played at last night. Yeah, 487 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: and he's such an instinctive guy and that's what kind 488 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: of what he hung his hat on in Washington. He's 489 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: a big playmaker, he's a ballhawk. He gets after the football. 490 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: But Watchington, New England. They were kind of going after 491 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: him to start that game. They started kind of saw 492 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: him playing off in coverage and they were going after him. 493 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna have a lot. I mean, 494 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: she killed Griffin has been becoming a lockdown corner on 495 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: the other side, and we know how good Quentin Dunbar 496 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: can be. And I just think he's gonna keep getting better. 497 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: Like he said, he missed some time during camp as 498 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: well as the offseason he went through, So I think 499 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: it's week by week he's gonna keep getting better and better. 500 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: But I totally agree with you one percent for this 501 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: defensive backfield detect that next step Quintin Dunbar has gotta 502 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: be a big piece of that. Dunbar has gotta do it. 503 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: Now we're showing the Seahawks love, but you can't. You 504 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: can't now show New England love. I mean Cam Newton 505 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: was playing on another level through for three ninety seven 506 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: one passing touchdown, carried the rock eleven times for forty 507 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: nine yards, and two touchdown rushing touchdowns. Thankfully he didn't 508 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: get three. He got three, it'd be a little it'd 509 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: be a different Monday over there in vMac Cam Newton 510 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: and you mentioned it when we were talking last night. 511 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: All these teams passed on Cam. They passed on him. 512 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: They thought he was done. Dude through it forty four times. 513 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: They lost the game, but he let the league know 514 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: that he's still a force to be reckoning with. Oh 515 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: he's still the MVP version of Camon we saw in 516 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen is every bit apparent in twenty twenty. The 517 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: man was the other thing. Two people knocked his accuracy. 518 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: He was accurate last night. I mean they had so 519 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: much max max protection, they had a lot of just 520 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: two man routes, but Cam was being patient reading his keys. 521 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: And the Duke is still ball out I'm happy we 522 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: don't have to see him again this year, but the 523 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: rest of the league has put on notice and he's 524 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: coming for people's ads man, every team that passed on him, 525 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: He's coming for you, that's for sure. Yeah, and he 526 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: almost won the game. He threw a ball to Julian 527 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: Elman in the end zone, which was a little behind him, 528 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: but Eleman looked like he got two hands on it. 529 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: Probably should have made that catch. I'm not a New 530 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: England fan, but I love seeing Baller's ball, especially when 531 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: the Hawks still beat a win. They ball so big 532 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: ups to Cam, big ups to New England. That team 533 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: is better than people think if they can stay healthy. 534 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: Even when all the guys they have out, know what, 535 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: eight guys opted out because of COVID E what all 536 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: those guys, They're still a force to be reckoned with. 537 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: Y'all better watch out. I'm better watch out. The Pats 538 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: are coming all right. Now, let's talk about our playmakers. 539 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: Who was balling out? Makers? Who we got playmakers? When 540 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 1: we talk about playmakers, first guy, we got to talk 541 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: about mister Russell Wilson twenty one for twenty eight two 542 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: night eight yards, five touchdowns. This defense allowed four receiving touchdowns. 543 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: Last year, Russell put five up on him in one game. 544 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: I didn't think he could play even better than he 545 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 1: did last week. I'd take last week performance every day 546 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: of the week. Now I'm like, okay, I'll take this 547 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: week as well. He continues to get better. He's in control, 548 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: he's calm, he's a competitor, he's never down. I mean, 549 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: what else can we say about this dude. I mean, 550 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: it's every week you're finding a new adjective to describe 551 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: how good of a football player is. I mean, he's 552 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league. I'll come out and 553 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: say it. He should win the MVP. I think that's 554 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: where he's trending this year. We'll come back to this 555 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: at the end of the year and mark these words. 556 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna be the MVP. But honestly, it's it's so 557 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: fun to watch two because you mentioned the Patriots gave 558 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: up four touchdowns wide receivers all last season, and he 559 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: threw up four on Sunday. And the thing about it 560 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: is as good as he played against Atlanta. We know 561 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta's defense is struggling, and they put up They gave 562 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: up another forty points to Dallas yesterday. You were playing 563 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots this week. You were going up 564 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: against Bill Belichick's defense, the probably one of the most 565 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: well coached teams in the NFL, and Russell still got busy. 566 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: So I don't know what else to say about the man. 567 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: It's just pure greatness, greatness. We're watching it. Another playmaker, 568 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: Chris Carson, has seventeen carries for seventy two yards. Still 569 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have a rushing touchdown, but he does have three 570 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. That three receptions for thirty six yards. He 571 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: talks about his hands all day now. The touchdown that 572 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: he made was one of the toughest catches in football 573 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: over the shoulder, drops right into the pocket. Chris Carson 574 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: is showing that he's versatile. Oh yeah, as a running back. 575 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how many running backs in 576 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: the NFL make that catch. I mean the elite ones do. 577 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: That's like that's a Marshall Falk type kind of catch 578 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: where he's been stride over the shold and it was 579 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: towards the back of the end zone, so he had 580 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: that back line still still got two feet in And 581 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: Chris Carson is definitely showing how versable he can be. 582 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be really big for this offense, especially 583 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: now that we're throwing the football more over one hundred 584 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: total yards. You'll take that every single week. Next playmaker, 585 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf four catches ninety two yards, one huge touchdown 586 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: against the best corner in the NFL. Right now, DK 587 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: Metcalf is stepping into He's a he was a rookie 588 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: last year. Now he's stepping into that star right, not 589 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: a superstar, but he's stepping into the star level when 590 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: it comes to being an NFL football player. What do 591 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: you like out of this dude? Well, I mean, first 592 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 1: of all, we talked about it a little bit before 593 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: about his physicality. But another the big knock on DK 594 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: when he started, when he was drafted was he can't 595 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: run routes. He can just run a go route. He 596 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: can just run a go route. Well that is not 597 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: the case anymore. And I'll play his touchdown from yesterday 598 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: and we can talk about it. Four man rushed by 599 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: the Patriots, Russ seven step drop is gonna let it 600 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: fly deep, got a man out here. It's Medcalf reaches 601 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: up thanks the catch, touchdown? Say Hawks, how in the world. 602 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: Did he catch up? Had a man all over him, 603 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: and he still reaches back, catches a bump for six. 604 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a point away from tying it up 605 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: again from fifty four yards and absolutely perfect rainbow to 606 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: DK Medcalf, Now bump. What I loved about this, And 607 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: you're the receiver guru, so you can help me out 608 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. So he's got he's inside, he's a 609 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: number two right there. He's probably about splitting the difference 610 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: between the hash in the numbers. He's got Stefan Gilmour 611 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: on him playing outside leverage, and he's gonna run a 612 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: corner route. But what I loved about it is he 613 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: stems him inside all the way to the hash, looks 614 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: over his left shoulder, then puts his foot in the 615 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: ground and runs that corner route and then doesn't show 616 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: his hands until the ball is there on the best 617 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: dB in the league for a touchdown. So you can't 618 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 1: tell me the can't run routes. You just coached him up. 619 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: You're the guru today. That's perfect. He got inside, leaned 620 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: on him, gave him all the goodies and pumped it down. 621 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: I think there was a play on the sideline I 622 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: forgot who it was. It might have been Tyler Lockett 623 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: on that third and one where Russell missed him in 624 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Tyler didn't pump it down. He threw 625 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: his hands out there, slowed down, probably took like three 626 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: or four strides with his hands extended trying to catch 627 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: that football. It's the little things that make the big 628 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: plays happen. And all the things you described were all 629 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: the little things that need to be dumb to make 630 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: that play happen. A lot of guys they get rushed, 631 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: they get impatient, they don't get their depth, they don't 632 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: sell it at the top of the route, they don't 633 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: pump it down. D K put it all together. And 634 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: then even when he cut the ball, Gilmore was still 635 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: in good position. He still could have got a hand 636 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: on the ball. He was all over his back. He 637 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: shrugged him off. He said, now I'm a big boy 638 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: getting that weight room. DK conteinues to impress me. And 639 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: he also had to play on the sideline where he 640 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: stiffed on the heck out of Gilmour. I mean, he's 641 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: just he's turning into a big, nasty receiver, and that's 642 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: what this football team needs for sure. He's he's the 643 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: next TiO type guy and I can't wait to see it. Yeah, sir, 644 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: next playmaker. Jamal Adams had ten tackles on one tackle 645 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: for Laws, two QB hits, and it was it was 646 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: a quiet ten tackles, right, It wasn't like last week. 647 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: It was a quiet sack. It was a quiet tackle 648 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: for Laws, even though Juliet Ellman had a heck of 649 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: a day and a couple of those players were against him. 650 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: What I like about Jamal Adams is postgame conference he's 651 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: admitted like, hey, look, I made some mistakes. I gotta 652 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: get better, you know, but you know that you're gonna 653 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: get everything that you possibly can out of this dude. 654 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams two weeks in a row where he played 655 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: really good football. Yeah you mentioned it. I mean it 656 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: was it was probably two plays over the middle that 657 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: Edelman got kind of got behind him a little bit, 658 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: and obviously with Digs out of the game, that kind 659 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: of shifted where guys were in the secondary. But he 660 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: was still very active on his one sack of Cam Newton, 661 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: Cam Newton walks into the end zone that was touchdown 662 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: saving play. Still very active when he blits. So this school, 663 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: got a couple of QB hits, and he's a guy 664 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: that's still before every stamp. I'm scanning the field. I'm 665 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: looking where number thirty three is. So the sky's the 666 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: limit for Jamal? Where's three three? All right? Now we 667 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: are going to go to the wide receiver round up 668 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: talked about DK metcalf forecast is ninety two yards. The 669 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: guy who got the past game going is no other 670 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: than Tyler Locketts. Seven cash, the sixty seven yards and 671 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown. And I saw a little attitude out there 672 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: out out the man. He's getting up, talking a little crap, 673 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: smiling that defenders. He's the catalyst. I'm gonna say this 674 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: every single week. If Tyler Lockett doesn't get this offense going, 675 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: I think they can get going. But it's always nice 676 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: when we have someone you can depend on. Yep, And 677 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: it's every it's every week he's missed a reliable seven 678 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: receptions on eight targets. You'll never find a week where 679 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: he it's usually eighth for eight or seven or seven 680 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: or six for six. You will never find a week 681 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: I feel like where he's where there's maybe one or 682 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: two extra target where he doesn't come down with it. 683 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: He's miss her consistent. Like you said, the catalyst gets 684 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: in the end zone. He makes our offense go for sure. 685 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Next up Demo David Moore. Three catches, forty eight yards 686 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: and one heck of a touchdown. That is what Demo does. 687 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: He goes up top, he makes the tough catch, and 688 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: he shows his athleticism, like for him to be backpedaling. 689 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: The ball was kind of low, drops in front of him, 690 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: gets his hands on him, one foot in, taps the pylon, 691 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: then swings that foot around and gets it in by centimeters. 692 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: Demo might be low key, like the top five most 693 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: athletic dudes on this football team. Yeah, there's a reason 694 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: he saw on this team. I think when we signed 695 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: Philip Door said, I think everyone was kind of like, Okay, 696 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Demo is going to make the team. 697 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: He does a lot for this team. He's good in 698 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: the pump return game. We obviously know he can run 699 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: a go route and make him play deep. He's this 700 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: kind of guy that when you see Demo in the 701 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: statue he made a big play. It might he's not 702 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: gonna get ten eleven catches for one hundred and tommy yards, 703 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: but he's gonna make a couple of plays and he 704 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: will make you pay at least once a game. And 705 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: it's good to see demost Wag getting out there and 706 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: doing his thing. That's what he does. Next up, Chris 707 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: Carson had three catches for thirty six yards and that 708 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: touchdown when we just talked about. Next up, Freddie Swaying, 709 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: let's go, yster out there. The run after the catch. 710 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: When they drafted him, that's what I saw them all. 711 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: So I'm like, when he gets the ball in his hands, 712 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: he can go, and that's what we saw. They put 713 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: him on a shallow they were in man coverage, they 714 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: got caught up in the mesh. He catches the ball, 715 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: gets his knees up, scores his first touchdown, and he 716 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: said he's going to wrap it up, send it home 717 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: to mom and dad. Good move. Oh of course, Hey, 718 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: Mama raised you right. If you're thinking that way, man, 719 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: that's awesome, especially with that football. I was just happy 720 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes guys get so excited they throw 721 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: the ball in the stands, they spike it. But now 722 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: he was smart. He caught. He said, Nah, this ball's 723 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: coming home with me. Yeah, hold on to that thing, 724 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: young fellow carlos I had two for fifteen. Will Disley 725 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: had one catch for nine. Greg Olsen had one target. 726 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: We're not even gonna bring up what happened in that 727 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: target anymore. We're moving on from that. Yeah, they're moving 728 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: on all right. Next Sam, we're going to the coach's corner. 729 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna break down LJ. Collier's game winning tackle Newton 730 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: from the shotgun Johnson, the fullback wings on the left side. 731 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: Newton's gonna run the ball. He gets hit, He flipped 732 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: up in the air. He doesn't get there. Clock ticks down. 733 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: It's all zeros who play by the Seahawks defense. They 734 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: throw their helmets, They are going nuts on the field. 735 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: Cam Newton the first time tonight, I believe they've stopped 736 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: him dead in his tracks. And I believe it was 737 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner who got there to do it. One an 738 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: end to one a game. The Seahawks win thirty five 739 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: to thirty over the Patriots. Wow. Now Ray described it beautifully. 740 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: Bobby walks up to the line, puts the D line 741 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: on the slant lane. O'hill sets the edge on the 742 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: running back, forces them inside. LJ. Collier gets super low 743 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: flips Cam Newton end over end and lj's game interview 744 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,439 Speaker 1: was awesome. I loved it. He goes, hey, my leader 745 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: told me to slam. I'm just gonna slam. He made 746 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: the call. Now we know that Bibby just didn't say, 747 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: forget what the coaches are saying. I'm gonna I'm gonna 748 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: do my thing. But that just shows how bought in 749 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: he's into his leadership to where he thinks that he 750 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: made that call. But that play I think is going 751 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: to help LJ next week in the following week. He 752 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: needed to have some type of success. Being that number one, 753 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: that first round draft pick. There's a lot of pressure. 754 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: Ray talked about the post game show. There's a lot 755 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: of pressure. The team chooses you first, and anybody they 756 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: come chosen, they picked you first, so they expect you 757 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: to perform. Maybe he's turning the corner here for sure. 758 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: And I think he's such a nice kid too, so 759 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm really rooting for him. And like you said, 760 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: it's all about confidence they talk about in basketball. Man, 761 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: you're struggling and you get to free throw line, you 762 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: just need to see the ball go through the net, right, 763 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: So it's the same translates to football. LJ just need 764 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: to make a play, and he chose the biggest stage 765 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: on Sunday night football a whole nation watching, makes an 766 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: enormous play. Love that for the kid. Lano Hill stepped 767 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: up set the edge. And I love what Ray talked 768 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: about because I was watching that last night too. Because 769 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: if you look at the play side guard so on 770 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: the defense is right. He was gonna come off double 771 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: team and he was gonna go up to Bobby on 772 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: the second level, but Bobby shot the backside a gap 773 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: and because he was there, the pulling guard, like Ray said, 774 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: had to stop because if he continues to pull, he 775 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: might get a piece of LJ. And then Cam has 776 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: another lane to walk in the end zone. He comes backside, 777 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: the pulling guard has to pause and get get a 778 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: piece of Bobby. LJ continues to come down hard and 779 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: the plays made. It's a beautiful thing when it all 780 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: happens the way it's supposed to happen. But what's the 781 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: greatest formation in football? Nass the greatest formation, I think 782 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: it's the victory formation. Bump Here comes the Seahawk offense 783 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 1: onto the field and the Vikings defense crunching out there 784 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: knowing that one meal down and the Seahawks are gonna 785 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: wind the clock down and women this one. It's the 786 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: victory formation on Hawk Talk. Victory formation that means the 787 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: Hawks gotta done, and they gotta done when it counted 788 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: the most. They came out hot. At some point we 789 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: thought the game was a rat. But when you have 790 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: Cam and Bill Belichick and those guys, they're gonna make 791 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: it interesting. End of the day. They might have given 792 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: up a bunch of yards. Cam might have thrown the 793 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: ball all over the football field, but when they got 794 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: down to the goal line it was time to make 795 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: a play, they stepped up. Yep, like you said, man, 796 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: it's it's everybody to grass. He talks about that, you 797 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: defend every blady grass to the last possible second. Backs 798 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: against the wall. One play and especially like that in football, 799 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: one yard, go get it. Both teams know what you're 800 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna do, especially when they know Cam's gonna run the football, 801 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: they say, go ahead and stop it. Seahawks defense steps up, 802 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: stops it, gets a victory. Their defense stepped up in 803 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: the offense continues to play at a high level. It 804 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: might not be the best offense in the NFL. But 805 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: they are showing that they can get it done in 806 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: the run game and in the past game. If they 807 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: can eliminate the penalties on a couple of those drives, 808 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: maybe they give fourteen more points out of this dual. 809 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean those are just those 810 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: are just drive killers. You had like a couple of 811 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: false starts holdings. When you're first in fifteen first and 812 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: twenty second and twenty it's hard to come back from that, 813 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: and for any team in the NFL. So if they 814 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: can get out of their own way, that there's the 815 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: ceiling for this offense is through the roof. Another way 816 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: they got it done. We mentioned earlier that they tossed 817 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: the ball man five touchdowns against the defense. They gave 818 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: up four passing touchdowns to receivers last year. That has 819 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: to that's got to sting a little bit. Do you 820 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: think the pagers know that, Hey, we gave up four 821 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: and now we just gave up five and is one game. 822 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: There's no way they don't know that.

These guys are too 828 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: un though. I don't care how they did it. It 829 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: might have been pretty to some might have been ugly 830 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: as others. When it shows upon a stat sheet, they're 831 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,479 Speaker 1: two and oh they're doing their thing. Happy for these dudes. 832 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: Next week the Cowboys are coming to town.
