Powered by Seahawks dot Com. What 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: on swelves. This is Hog Talk Preview edition Week eleven. 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: The Seahawks looked to bounce back and avoid a three 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: game losing streak for the first time in Russell's career 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals this weekend. The Cardinals are coming into town. 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: But before we get into that, here's Natson Cholby with 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: the injury updates. Thanks bump Well, It's been a rough 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: couple of weeks for the Seahawks on the injury front. 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: They've been down about five starters each of the past 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: two weeks. Still no real update on Shaquille Griffin. He's 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: gonna get on the field this week and we're have 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: to go from there. Starting center, Eaton Postic remains in 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: concussion protocol, and after finally making his return, special team's 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: captain Nico Thorpe will be out again with a core injury. 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: Real bummer there, since we know how much he means 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: this team in that locker room. Now, the guy who 25 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: stepped in for Eaton posted Kyle Fuller he's dealing with 26 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: an ankle injury, but Pete Carroll hopes still get him 27 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: back on Thursday night. If he's unable to go, Jamarco 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: Jones would step in at center. However, a new injury 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: popped up in the game last week, and now was 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. Yeah, he's got a bit of a niche 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: brain and generally he's already had a checked out in 32 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: MRI and all that kind of stuff. So he's a 33 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: little bit discomfort, a little bit swallowing today, But it's 34 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: not a serious knee injury, so we'll look to see 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: how he does day to day and take it till Thursday. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: BEKAA also gave some encouraging news on the running backs, 37 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide and Chris Carson. I'm told that Carlos is 38 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: going to go today. In our work, Chris is working 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: to get it back. He's trying to make it. Carlos 40 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: is a little but ahead of him now and so 41 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I can't tell you what's 42 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: gonna happen Thursday night yet, but both those guys are 43 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: trying hard this week to get back. And lastly, Jamal Adams, 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: who suffered his shoulder injury, had to go back in 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: the locker room, came out finished the game against the 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Rams with playing with essentially one arm, and according to 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: head coach Pete Carroll, Jamal will do everything in his 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: power and make it back. He says he's playing, he's 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: ready to go. He got banged up pretty good. He 50 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: played really with one arm for the most part in 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: the game. Ended a marvelous job of getting through it. 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: There was a couple of plays he couldn't make that 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: he wished you could have, but but it was just 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: because of his arm he played or shoulder. He played 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 1: really hard and got after it. And before we get going, 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: make sure to stay current with all that's happening in 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest at min Northwest dot com, your source 58 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: for local news, in depth analysis, weather, in traffic, and 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: stay connected to all your favorite teams at seven ten 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: sports dot com with in depth Seahawks coverage all season long. 61 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: The Ardinals the rematch back at Century Link Field. Who's Next, 62 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Who's next? Who's Next? The Arizona Cardinals are next. They 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: are six and three, standing on top of the NFCA West. 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: There in the first place, we're familiar with these dudes. 65 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: Loss of the Lions, loss of the Panthers, loss of 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: the Bills, excuse me the Dolphins, but they beat the 67 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: Bills last week and one and had one of the 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: most remarkable plays I've ever seen in my life. If 69 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: you're not familiar with what went down, we'll get you 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: into it. But let's let's kind of set it up 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: before we get to that miraculous player, Tode Hopkins the 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and beat the Bills one of the best 73 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: plays ever. Like I just mentioned on the previous possession 74 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: of Bills were traveling twenty six to twenty three with 75 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: seconds remaining, josh Alan connects with Stefan Digs for the 76 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown second and one at the twenty one 77 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: the snaff Alan looks to his left Fire's left side 78 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: and go to the Steffins Mikes a catch touchdown, Buffalo 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: touchdown stepfind Digs catches the touchdown pass from Josh Allen 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: twenty one yards to go ahead touchdown, and it comes 81 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: with thirty four seconds left to play. Thirty four seconds 82 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: left to play bagel of thirty two twenty six. But 83 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: you just can't count out these Cardinals. After a couple 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: of big completions, it was first and ten from the 85 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo forty three yard lane with eleven seconds remaining. Now, 86 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: Typically in this situation, you try to get one more 87 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: play before tossing that thing to the end zone. But 88 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: Murray was fleshed outside of the pocket and had no 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: choice but to close his eyes, make a wish, then 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 1: throw it up to d Hopkins. Now the Bills dropped 91 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: two men back twenty five yards down field. Murray back 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: to throw, flushed out, rolling left in trouble, slips the tackle, 93 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: Gotta launch it. He does left side into the end zone, 94 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: jump ball and it is Is it caught? Is it cost? 95 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it soun DeAndre Hopkins bought. He caught 96 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: it for a touchdown second lap. I can't believe it 97 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: you've gotta be joking me. Hopkins reaches up with three 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: defenders around him, he pulls it in and the Cardinals 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: lay at thirty two to thirty with a second lap. 100 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: You can't cover Duke. Hey man, that's just you see 101 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: both calls there. One was from the Bill's radio broadcast 102 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: and the other was Dave Pash and Ron Wolfley with 103 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: the Cardinals broadcast at just a tail of two different emotions. Brother, 104 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you go up thirty four seconds, you think 105 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: the game's over. Stefon Diggs, it's a huge catch. You 106 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: got thirty four seconds knowing, Hey, you just can't give 107 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: up a touchdown. And man, that honest hand of God, 108 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: that was one of the best players I've ever seen, 109 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: the fact that he first of all, because you have 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: eleven seconds, you have one more play. That's not what 111 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: you're You don't need to throw it to the end 112 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: zone on that play. And Cliff Kingsbury spoke this week, 113 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: so that's not how they wanted it to go. The 114 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: first three wasn't there. Murray had to scramble outside the pocket, 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and at that point the games you need to get 116 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: a quick play. That didn't happen. He literally throws it 117 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: to the end zone, gets knocked down, and because he's 118 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: so short, Kingsbrady said he couldn't see what's going on. 119 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Immediately snapped his head back to the video board and 120 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: saw Hopkins come down with it. So Hopkins was worth 121 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: every penny in The Cardinals got him on the low. 122 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: I mean that was that was armed robbery. I don't 123 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: know what was going on with the Texans, but he 124 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: is a factor that we're gonna have to contend with 125 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: for a long time here in the NFC West. The 126 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are getting a return on their investment most definitely. 127 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: Now a lot of people say that was love. Yeah, 128 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: you need some luck. You need some luck. Got to 129 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: throw it up there, clothes you eys make a wish. 130 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: But Dee Hopkins got some mittens. He grabs that thing 131 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: out of the air. If there's a picture where I 132 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: saw Dee Hopkins. Now this might be the first time 133 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: I've seen Jordan logo gloves. I don't even know they 134 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: made those. You got Jordan logo gloves, You got a 135 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: Dida's reaching for, You got Nike gloves reaching for Jordan 136 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: brand y'all better get on your job and makes some 137 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: money play right there. Oh, you already know that's about 138 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: to be a commercial for a show like Jordan Rising. 139 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: Just abuff, Adidas, get out of here and I keep 140 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: trying to come back. I mean, that was unbelievable and bump. 141 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: Let's look at this team, man, So Seahawks Cardinals both 142 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: six and three. The thing that jumps out of me 143 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals is how much their offense has approved 144 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: over the last couple weeks and since last time we 145 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: saw him. Total offense number one in the NFL now 146 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: ahead of the Seahawks were number three at four hundred 147 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: and twenty five yards per game. In their rushing attack, 148 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: it's a two headed monster with Murray and Drake Will 149 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: getting those guys in a man up. But they're running 150 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: the ball for one hundred and sixty eight yards per game. 151 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: So they're getting it done on offense, getting done on offense, 152 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: and their defense that's kind of went down a little bit. 153 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: So that's nice to see. In the Seahawks defense, it's 154 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: kind of well rising up a little bit. So there 155 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: we go. There, there's a positive there. We look at 156 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: their defense or total defense, they are ranked eighteenth. I 157 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: mean they got the Hawks rank thirty second total deadens. 158 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: But they got better in other areas, is what I mean. 159 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: Rush defense, they are sixteenth, the Hawks are four. Pass defense. 160 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: We know the Hawks struggle there that second, and the 161 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals are twentieth. When it comes to allowing points, the 162 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: Hawks are now twenty eighth instead of dead last with 163 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine given twenty nine and the Cardinals give them 164 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: twenty three. So same team, but they're changing a bit. 165 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: And that's football, that's the NFL. You're not gonna play 166 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: the exact same team you did the first time you 167 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: played the Hawks. That has some injuries for the most part, 168 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have been fairly healthy, so they got they 169 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: got some luck on their side. They're main guys. Well, 170 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is banged up still. Chase Edmans has come 171 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: in and played well for them. We all know what 172 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: d Hoppins can do. You mentioned it before we got 173 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: on here. Colin Murry might rush for a thousand yards 174 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: this year. You just might do it. So you gotta 175 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: contain that man. That's the head to head. Now, let's 176 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: learn about the history and know your history. No, your history, 177 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: all right, Well, the series record is twenty one twenty 178 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: one in one so about as dead even as possible, 179 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: even with a tie in there in. Since twenty sixteen, 180 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: the series is four four and one, so it's about 181 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: as even as you get. As you know, twelves, it's 182 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: been mainly the home team losing every matchup in this series. 183 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: The last meeting, obviously, it was a few weeks ago. 184 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks lost a game that they're essentially dominating, lost in 185 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: overtime thirty seven thirty four, a tough loss that was 186 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: the first time the Cardinals had beat the Seahawks in 187 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: Arizona since twenty twelve. Russell Wilson's first career start. However, 188 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: despite the painful ending to the game, we got to 189 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: see one of the greatest performances by wide receiver in 190 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: club history and Tyler Lockett fifteen receptions, two hundred yards, 191 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, and we got to see truly how fast 192 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: dk Metcalf is. First and goal, Russell takes a shotgun 193 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: snap Carson, Oh no, it's picked off. Going the other way. 194 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: It's Bouddha Banker down the nearest sidelines. Nobody's gonna catch 195 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: him unless Metcalf can. He is sprinting, he is running, 196 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: He dis and he catches him. DK Metcalf catches Buddha 197 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: Baker on a little dump pass into the right flat 198 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: and Russell never saw him and he steals the ball away. Now, 199 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: when I was growing up, we used to run somebody down. 200 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: He said, Man, you got hawked. And it's funny how 201 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: it all it all comes together. Now DK hawked Bude Banker. 202 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: Bude Banker gave us a love and say, man, I 203 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: can't believe DK ran me down like that. Big us 204 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: show some respect. One of the greatest hustle plays of 205 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: all time, no question about it. I think I think 206 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: we realized some of those guys out there that want 207 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: to specialize in just one sport, go out there and 208 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: run some track. Go out there, getting the room and 209 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: run some track, play some moves because you can see 210 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: DK Metcalf as he was just striding out. If you 211 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: don't have any kind of track experience in your background, 212 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: you're not catching him like that. You could just telling 213 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: his stride, the way, his hands removing, getting them legs up. 214 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: So that was great to see for sure. Now, Bump, 215 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: we gotta figure out what's going on in the West, 216 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: because man, things have changed since the last time we played. 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: And the Seahawks, where the NFC West champs again. What's 218 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: the word in the West? On Hawk talk? The word 219 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: in the West. They're sitting at the third spot. They 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: are tied with the Airs of the Cardinals at six 221 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: and three the Rams of six and three, but Hawks 222 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: don't have the tiebreaker there. They've already lost to the Cardinals. 223 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: They've lost to the Rams. They had the advantage there, 224 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: so that makes this game even more important. We know 225 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are at the bottom in the 226 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: dungeon in the basement, looking up at everybody, hoping that 227 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: things fall apart. But I don't see that happening. Now 228 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: we know what happened with the Rams and the Cardinals. 229 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: Forty nine ers. Man, they didn't play bad against the Saints. 230 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: He jumped up to a ten o league and I'm 231 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: checking the scores. I'm like, okay, forty Niners, let's make 232 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: it interesting. But then, as usual, the better team just 233 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: grinds you down. The team that makes the less least 234 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: mistakes grind you down. And they ended up losing twenty 235 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: seven to thirteen. But this just lets you know you 236 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: can't sleep on teams. The Niners got guys who are 237 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: getting paid they are prepping. It's not like they're just 238 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: gonna roll over and dive. They are still trying to 239 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: win football games. They put up a ray fighting it's 240 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: a really solid Saints team. Yeah, no question about it. 241 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean, the Saints have really came on strong the 242 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks in their out for seven and 243 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: two record. A lot of people think that they might 244 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: be one of the best teams in the NFC. But 245 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: the biggest story from that game was Drew Brees leaving 246 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: the game with multiple rib fractures on both sides of 247 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: his body and a collapse long. So I saw a 248 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: report that best case scenario hed come back in two weeks. Yeah, right, 249 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: not a chance. So I'm not at forty nah. And 250 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: apparently they said that he actually cracked cracked some of 251 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: those ribs a couple of weeks ago, they missed him 252 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: in the X ray and then when then he cracked 253 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: two more on Sunday. Now let's see all of it. 254 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: So he's all kinds of messed up. So they're just 255 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: hoping he's back for the playoffs. But the interesting thing 256 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: is we can see Jamis Winston era in New Orleans, 257 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: so we'll see how that Goes. I'm kind of I'm 258 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 1: kind of excited to see what he does. Yes, he 259 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: threw thirty touchdown and thirty picks the last time he 260 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: was there, or last time he was a starter in 261 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But here's a difference. He got LASI surgery, 262 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: so hey are better. He can see the field a 263 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: little better now. And also he's gonna stretch the field 264 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: out the way Drew Brees can't. Not saying that he's 265 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: a better option than Drew Brees, but it does bring 266 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: something to the table that Drew Brees wasn't or hasn't 267 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: been doing much, and that's throw the ball down the field. 268 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: So there's the word in the West. Let's get to 269 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: know these Cardinals a little bit more. Man up is 270 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: this mass this man up on Hawk Talk. Only one 271 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: place you can started for time about the Arizona Cardinals, 272 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: and that is Kyler Murray. Taken on this entire Seahawks defense. 273 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: We've been getting to see how dynamic Kyler Murray is 274 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: as an athlete and as a quarterback. So far in 275 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 1: the year, he's two hundred or two hundred twelve for 276 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: three hundred and eleven for two thousand, three hundred and 277 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: seventy five yards, seventeen touchdowns, eight interceptions. However, running the football, 278 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, eighty seven carries six hundred and four 279 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: yards ten touchdowns. He's only eight rushing yards behind Kenyan 280 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: Drake for the team leading rush yards, and last meeting 281 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks, heaball out thirty four for forty eight 282 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty yards, three touchdowns, a pick, fourteen 283 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: carries sixty seven yards in one touchdowns. It just seems 284 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: like Kylin Murray's is getting better every single week. He's 285 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: getting better, man, That's what That's what goodball players do. 286 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: You know that first year, I'm sure things are happening 287 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: fast for him. Now, Ryan, he's been in the same 288 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: offense since he's been in high school, so it's not 289 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: like he's learning new languages or whatnot. So you expect 290 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: him to make these strides six hundred and four yards, 291 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. So he's accounting for twenty seven touchdowns and 292 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: only eight turnovers. That's pretty close to what Russell Wilson 293 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: is doing when you add him the rushing factor to that. 294 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Not surprised with what this young man's been doing on 295 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: him in sack twelve times, Yeah, it's because he's rushed 296 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: six hundred and four yards. Dude's elusive. You're not gonna 297 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: get your hands on him often. You gotta look after 298 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: Kylin Murray. Now, let's go over and talk about the 299 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: guy who kind of opened the door for Kylin Murray. Russell, 300 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Wilson and Verse the Cardinals defense. Now, Russell is two 301 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three for three one hundred thirty four 302 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven one hundred eighty nine yards, twenty eight touchdowns, 303 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: ten interceptions. We all know the struggles he's had turned 304 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: the ball over the last couple of weeks, forty five carries, 305 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: three hundred twenty five yards and one touchdown, and for 306 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the first time all year, he did not have a 307 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,239 Speaker 1: passing touchdown against the Rams, very surprising. A couple opportunities, 308 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: threw a pick on one and then officers really didn't 309 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: get going. And they're trying to avoid losing three games 310 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: in a row. First time that will happened in Russell's career, 311 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: and this is gonna be a tough team to kind 312 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: of break that street. They confused Russell the last time 313 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: they played him and brought a lot of pressure. We've 314 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: seen that the last few weeks since then, teams are 315 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: gonna challenge Russell to make the right decisions. But I 316 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: still I think Russell is one of the hardest working 317 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: dudes I've been around. I've seen him go to work, 318 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: so I expect him to bounce back and correct his 319 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: wrongs this week. Yeah, no question about it. I mean, 320 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: in the national perspective, he may have dropped out of 321 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the MVP conversation. I still think he's the best quarterback 322 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: and best football player in the league. But there's just 323 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: we said it last week and we still kind of struggled. 324 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: But you just can't hold these guys down for long. 325 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: And what I really want to see is, like, yes, 326 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: we talk about the pressure the Arizona is going to 327 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: bring in the different things that they do. I want 328 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: to get back to it being about us. It's about 329 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: what we do, and it's other teams adjusting to what 330 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: we do. Ryan Schottenheimer and Russell Wilson have had a 331 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: great chemistry this year. Shoddy has called some unbelievable plays. 332 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: I think at the end of this season, Shoddy will 333 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: be in contention for some head coaching jobs just that's 334 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: how well he's done this year. But it needs to 335 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: be about us. I think, I think I want to 336 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: see us doing some different things. I want to see 337 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: us doing some things to confuse them. I want to 338 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: see us getting back to a running game. I want 339 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: to see Dwayne Brown out there matching people on the 340 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: second level. So I just want to see us get 341 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: back to some of the things we're doing, get back 342 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: to those explosive plays that we really haven't seen the 343 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Yep, I'm with you and I 344 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: from what I've seen in the run game, that just 345 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: sleep works. It holds those linebackers. We have to take 346 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: a note from the Rams and the forty nine ers. 347 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: They used that jet suite. They'll give it to that 348 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: receiver doing the jet suite every now and then to 349 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: keep that defense honest. But you show him that jet suite, 350 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: you hand it out to DJ or Alex or whoever. 351 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: I think things will start to open up. Next matchup, 352 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: Booda Bacon versus our body man. This dude, every time 353 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: I watch him play, he gets better and better. I 354 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: start to like him more and more. He's a husky, 355 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: so I had to had to get through the kug 356 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: husky theme. But real recognize real, all right, This dude 357 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: has seventy three tackles on the year, two interceptions, four 358 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: passes defended, and one forced fumble. He led the NFL 359 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: and tackles last season with one hundred and four. What 360 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: can you say about this dude? The one part where 361 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: he was struggling in this game was interceptions, right, had 362 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: none before this year. Guess what he's got two. Now 363 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: he's evolving and he is one of the fastest, fiercest, 364 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: but yet composed dudes I've ever seen play the game. 365 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: He was miked up, and when he's playing, I mean 366 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: he's gone. He's moving out one thousand miles an hour. 367 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: Then he also has this calmness about him to where 368 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: he brings the team team in and it really leaves them. Yeah, 369 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: no question about it. He the things that he can do. 370 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: It's it's funny because he's so impressive because he's everywhere 371 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: on the football field. Like they don't play exactly the same, 372 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: but the way he is in the run game reminds 373 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: me a little bit of Bob Sanders because it's like 374 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm playing at twelve yards and now I'm making a 375 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: tackle on the line of scrimmage. Like he's that he's 376 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: that good in what he does, and yeah, you have 377 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: to account for him on every single play. Where's he 378 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: gonna be. He got us on the goal line last 379 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: week or last time he played them before he got 380 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: hacked down by DK Metcalf. So he's just a guy 381 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: that you have to account for every time. He signed 382 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: that big money extension four years, fifty nine million dollars 383 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: in August, highest paid safety in the NFL, and he's 384 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: playing at that level, worth every penny. Get fourteen tackles, 385 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: one interception, and one point five tackle for loss last 386 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: time against the Seahawks. So he's that dude. We got it. 387 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: We gotta be better, We gotta account for him, and 388 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: we gotta get back to what we did against them 389 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: in the first half when we were moving the ball up, 390 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: all up and down the field. They couldn't stop himself. 391 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: Be good to see us get back to that. Now. 392 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: The dude that won the game for him last week, 393 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins against this secondary bump. I mean, I don't 394 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: really know what else to say about hot Man hop 395 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: He's the truth. Is he the best receiver in the NFL? 396 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: Or is he at least one or two? He's the 397 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: best in the game. He is the best in the game. 398 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: I think I think Stefan Diggs needs a little more 399 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: respect than he's been getting. I think he's in the 400 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: mix as well. Michael Thomas has been injured this year, 401 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: so he hasn't really seen much there. DK is on 402 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: the move, but you're looking for a guy who's gonna 403 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: do everything. He blocks, run after the catch, run the 404 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: short routes, run the deep routs, and just like we 405 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: saw last week, he can go up top and make 406 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: one of the greatest plays of all time. My thing 407 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: that concerns me the most, it's Griffin. Griffin gonna be there. 408 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna go against Tray Flowers, is Dunbar gonna be 409 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: there where this team is hurting the most right now. 410 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: Really allows Dee Hopkins to have enough to day nothing. 411 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: There's nothing right now that says the happens. Ain't gonna 412 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: go for ten and one hundred twelve, fifteen, twenty like 413 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: he usually does. Well. We mentioned before we got on 414 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: the podcast that honestly, I'll take ten for one hundred 415 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: and three in a touchdown like he's going to make plays, 416 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna get his. I just don't want to see 417 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: fifteen for one, seventy five and three, and yeah, you're right. 418 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it's gonna be Shaquille, 419 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be quitting Dunbar, Trey Flowers, 420 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: h DJ Reid, whoever it is. They're just they're gonna 421 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: have their hands when the gonna have to step up. 422 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: I think we saw strides in the second half against 423 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: the Rams, and I just want again we've talked about 424 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: all year, just want a little bit aggressiveness. I want 425 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: guys to take some chances because listen, he's gonna make 426 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: some plays. So it's almost like, what do you got 427 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: to lose, You might as well try to mix it 428 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: up with him. I mean, obviously he's a great rout runner. 429 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: He can go over the top, he can do short stuff. 430 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,479 Speaker 1: So whatever it is, you're gonna have to step up, 431 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: big man, and don't get discouraged when he makes a 432 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: big play. Just keep keep coming back short memories. Dbs 433 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: always have to. And the one thing I will say, 434 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a good or bad. We've 435 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: gone against everyone in the league. We've gone against the 436 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the game, so they're not going 437 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: to see something they haven't seen before. It's just getting 438 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: that film study. Try to do better and somewhat contain 439 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Hopkins and I'm good with a pim grab him. I'll 440 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: take him twenty yards spot foul rather than a sixty 441 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: yard bomb and his average is up. So contain d Hopkins. 442 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: Good luck, but contain him. Next matchup, Kenyan Drake versus 443 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven. They got a nice one two punch man. 444 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: They got Key and drag back there that you have 445 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: Colin Murray, who you mentioned. There's a few yards behind 446 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: Kei and Drake. When it comes to rushing yards, he's 447 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: got one hundred and thirty five carries, six hundred and 448 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: twelve yards, four touchdowns. Didn't play against the Dolphins, play 449 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: well against Buffalo with one hundred yards on sixteen carries. 450 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: And you gotta factory in Chase Edmonds too. I know 451 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: he's not a focal point, but they make something in 452 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: as well. That whole run game is just on point 453 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: right now. You got a quarterback who can get it done. 454 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: You gotta running back who's versatile, and don't forget you 455 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: got the little homie coming off the bench who can 456 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: give the starter blow and still be just as effective. 457 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: I like the run game. Well, the thing that makes 458 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: the run game so tough, and this is anyone the 459 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: same with like the Baltimore Ravens is typically when you're 460 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: talking about a run game and run fits, okay, it's 461 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: eleven on ten, the quarterback is not part of the 462 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: run game. But against against the Cardinals, it's eleven on eleven. 463 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: You have to have a guy count for him in 464 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: every single play. So it makes you makes you have 465 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: to be disciplined. That means Jordan Brooks made some good 466 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: plays that first game. He's gonna have to be disciplined 467 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: because he's got the speed to run Kyler down. He's 468 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to play well. Kaji Right's gonna have to 469 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: play well. Bobby Wagner is gonna have to play well 470 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: because if both things are going against the Cardinals, you're 471 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: gonna be in for a long day because if if 472 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: they can run the ball as well as you're thrown 473 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: right now, it's gonna be a rough day. But the 474 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: positive about the last matchup against them, we shut Kenyan 475 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Drake down. He had fourteen carries for thirty four yards 476 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: two point four yards per carry. So we're definitely gonna 477 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: see more of need to see more of that for 478 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: the seats to get a win on Thursday night. Yes, sir, 479 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to see more of that. And now 480 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: that leads us right into the path to victory. After 481 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: forty five waits for the staff, Michael Vickson puts it down. 482 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: That kick is away and that kick inn it's gun. 483 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: It's a pass to victory on Hawk Talk, all right, 484 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: pat to victory first and four more So, you have 485 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: to take over take care of the football. Too many 486 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: turnovers the last two or three weeks. They're not oblivious 487 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: to this. They're on the field when they turn the 488 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: ball over. They have players and coaches who care about 489 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: their jobs. People relax, they're not just going to ignore 490 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: the fact that Russell's making poor decisions. They're having conversations, 491 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: they're coming up with game plans. We just have to 492 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: trust a fair going to write the ship again. They're 493 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: six and three. They don't turn the ball over. They're 494 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: easily seven. He's the one, seven and two number one, 495 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: no question about it. And going along with take care 496 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: of football. You need to run the football, man, and 497 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: not just run it. To run it obviously every time 498 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: you drop a play, you're hoping you get big yardage. 499 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: That's why they have them. But we gotta run it 500 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: effectively because we just need more balance on offense. I 501 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: know everyone wants to go out there and let Russ blank, 502 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: but oh, you're done with that, you know. Yeah, I'm 503 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: done with it. I'm done hearing it. I'm done hearing it. 504 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: So and he is. We know how good Russell is. 505 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: He's going to get out of this. He's not going 506 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: to continue to turn the ball over. But he needs 507 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: help in the sense of keeping guys on this man 508 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: because the way teams are going to defend us now, 509 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, listen, we are done getting beat over 510 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: the top. They watched that for five weeks and they said, 511 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: whatever we're doing, we're not getting beat over the top. 512 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna put a sate, we're gonna play some cover two. 513 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna got to be physical underneath, and we're not 514 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: giving a big play. So we need to run the ball. 515 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: And when they do all that pressure stuff, if we're 516 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: running the ball, it takes them out of it. Okay, 517 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: we can run to the pressure. We can. So if 518 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: we run the ball, I think it's going to help 519 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: us open things up. On offense. I'm with you, run 520 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: that rod. They also have to start fast on defense. 521 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: You can't let the cardos Is do what they do 522 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: and then second half you figure it out. They started 523 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: fast against offensively, they need to start fast as well 524 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: because last week was the first time the Rams. The 525 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: second time the rams is giving up a touchdown on 526 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: the opening drive for their opponents. So offense, defense start 527 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: fast last couple of weeks and feel sluggis something don't 528 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: feel right. There's not the excitement. I heard someone say. 529 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's probably because they're not playing on primetime. 530 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: When you're sitting around all day, you have all the 531 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: what do you call like the production trucks outside. When 532 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: you pull up you see Sunday night football. You're gonna 533 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: get going. Well, now it's Thursday night football. You got 534 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: prime time football again. Use that energy. Defense start fast, often, 535 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: start even faster, yep, And then you know while you're 536 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: on defense, man, when you pressure Caylin Murray, be disciplined. 537 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: That's the thing about him, and he's so elusive. You 538 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: gotta have integrity when you blitz, run at the right hip, 539 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: do what you can. If you need a blitz and peel. 540 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: Do what you have to do because you got to 541 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: contain in the pocket, and that goes for a defensive 542 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: line as well. He's just so he wants to get 543 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: fleshed out. He wants to make moves with his legs. 544 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: And if you can make him have to step up 545 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: and really sit there and make reads in the court 546 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: in the pocket, it's gonna be better for our defense 547 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: as a whole. So make sure your disciplined. Tyler Murray 548 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: is going to make plays, but do everything in your 549 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: power to keep inside the pocket. Yes, sir, And now Russell, Hey, Russell, 550 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: just be yourself, baby, be the guy that we have 551 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: known to love, that we grew with. We know you 552 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: have it in You just got to step back and 553 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: make the right football play. You don't have to make 554 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: the spect tackling and play every time. This make the 555 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: right football play. I think he would get back to that. 556 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: I feel like he was humble. This is the most 557 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: humble I've heard him after a game last week. He's 558 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: usually humble, but those is a different kind of humble, 559 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: and I appreciate that. I think he's going to get 560 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: back to work. We need the Russell from the first 561 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: five six games, yep. And then we need DK Metcalf 562 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: and Tyner Lockett to step back up, right. I mean 563 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: we are so accustomed to them rotating games and going 564 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: off every single week. Last week was the first week 565 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: we didn't see DK Metcalf really make those impact plays 566 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: and get involved in the past game. Some of that's 567 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: what the Rams are doing. Some of that was Jane Ramsey. 568 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: Some of that was just it happens at receiver. Sometimes 569 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: it's just not your day. But we need them to 570 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: resurface and come back and help us out because what 571 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: happened last time. We're in Arizona are going up and 572 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: down the field. We need those big plays from those 573 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: two guys, all right, We need him to have a 574 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: big game. We need DK, We need Locket, we need Russell, 575 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: we need Bobby. All hands on deck to avoid this 576 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: three game losing streak. The Cardinals are coming to the 577 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest.
