The Hawks go to Buffalo, they go 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: to the Northeast. They take a loss, something that I 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: wasn't prepared to see, Paul. I didn't think it would 10 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: go down this way. The week prior, the Buffalo Bills 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: ran the ball a bunch on He threw the ball 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: eighteen times, different ball game. Josh Allen throws at thirty 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: eight times. He was twelve or fourteen in the first quarter, 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four yards, two touchdowns. The guy 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: looked like the MVP we heard about the first four weeks. 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: Give me something, Paul, would you see? Oh man? You know, 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: first of all, the good news is Thanksgivin's coming up 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: and Sow's Christmas, so there's some positive to that. I 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: felt great going into last week. We were getting some 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: healthy We got Dunlap playing for us. We had Jamal 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Adams back, Um, Bobby Wagner come back off his best 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: game of US maybe in the last two three years. 23 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: I mean, really came with passion against the forty nine ers. 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: Fantastic game. I just didn't even though we scored, you know, 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: over thirty offensively, we didn't play great offensively. I mean, 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: you have four turnovers, That's that's not gonna work for 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: you. You You go three and out early in the game, 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: that's not gonna work. But you know, I look at 29 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: this game and Bump. We've played a long time, and 30 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: and we've both coached, and at certain levels we've walked 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: in on the day after a game and said, do 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: you throw this film away, come on in, go and jog, 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: get away from the game we're going after the next game, 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: or do we have a serious tell the truth Monday 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: or Sunday or whatever game is. Whether So, this one's 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: tricky because my analogy is a bit of you've been 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: drinking a little little bit, right, you know, you have 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: little tipsy, say a couple of dumb things, and your 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: wife goes, yeah, you know you were you were kind 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: of funny, but yeah, you know, not that funny. And 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: then you you have a really bad night, like bad 42 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: drunk night, and you know, like I almost choke someone 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: out type of night, had a nice event, and then 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: your wife goes, you got a problem. Okay, you we 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: gotta fix this. That's kind of what this one was 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: for me, to fix it. We gotta fix it. It 47 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: was one of the few games where we've always said 48 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: it's never as good or as bad as you think 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: it is. This was one of the first games I've 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: seen where I said, wow, it was really bad, at 51 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: least in the first half. Yeah. And the reason why 52 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: it was bad, it was bad in so many different areas. 53 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: We were hurt then, no question Dunbar was hurt. Um. 54 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: We were playing this weird soft zone. So I throw 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: a little bit on the coach and the staff. We 56 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: just key plays where we were back in the game. 57 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: We make a couple of dumb plays, you know, Jamal Adams. 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: Unfortunately on that one, we got a sack on third 59 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: down and seven, we're off the field, we're down seven. 60 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, he bumps the guy downfield. It's a penalty. 61 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: So just a lot of weird plays in that game. 62 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: That just crushed us. But we gotta fix something. And 63 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: right now we're putting band aids on these wounds and 64 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: and and they to me have to go back to 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: something that they can hang their hat on, because right now, 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: if it's fourth down and four bump, I'm gonna ask 67 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: you what defense are they calling? Fourth down and fourth 68 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: fourth and four? What are you going to? Yeah? If 69 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: I'm the Seals, alple, what we've seen out of them? 70 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: What am I calling? If? So my point is, do 71 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: you know? No? I don't know. Not upon the Hawks, No, 72 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what I would call by it. And 73 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: so with the Seahawks and any team that it's Super Bowl, 74 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: it's the last drive, it's fourth and four. I gotta 75 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: make sense. What am I hanging my hat? One? What 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: is what is our identity? I don't know what our 77 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: identity is? And so they're putting these band aids on 78 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: right now. And part of it is, Look, he had Dunbar, 79 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: who's he was forty percent? I mean I thought gamer 80 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: for trying, they should have pulled him early. I mean, 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you just gotta give somebody who's healthy at that that situation. 82 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: We're busting, we're playing hard and we're just we're dropping 83 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: coverage and it's head scratcher things. We've got to get 84 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: back to accountability. Let's simplify the thing a little bit 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: and then let's just let these guys go out and play. Yeah, 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: and that's kind of where I am right. This is 87 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: the way I see it. The week before against the 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, they come out with a defensive game plan. 89 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: Bobby's getting lose, two sacks, Russell's doing this thing, bouncing back, 90 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no interceptions, Cody Barton's flying downhill, and special 91 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: teams knocking guys out. What we say, team win, team win, 92 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: all three phases played, this was a team loss. Yeah. Offensively, 93 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: couldn't get it going early, Russell Wilson turned the ball over. 94 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: The four turnovers in general, sixteen points by the way, 95 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: off those turnout sixteen points off the turnovers. Defensively, couldn't 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: stop anything, couldn't stop anybody. Special teams. Why is the 97 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: very first play they take it sixty yards down the field. 98 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: So just like we say that was a team win 99 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, this was a team loss. 100 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: And offensively, I'm gonna go to bat for Russell Wilson 101 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: on this just a little bit because he threw two 102 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: interceptions and people are gonna tear him up. Russ, why 103 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: did you do this? Why'd you do that? The first intercession, 104 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: it was fourth down, they're inside to five. It's a 105 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: flood concept. He's rolling out to his right side. He's 106 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: looking for Jacob Hollister to run his corner route. Jacob, 107 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: being the young player that he is, doesn't outside release 108 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: on his man, tries to go to the corner against 109 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: walled off. Everything's short, it is taken away. He looks back, 110 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: nothing there. Then he tries to go back and he 111 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: tosses one up to Hollister. Just give him a chance. 112 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: Why Because it's fourth down. He has nothing to lose 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: at this point. Not the greatest decision, but that's what 114 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: he's thinking. I'm trying to get in the mind of 115 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Now the other intercession, it's third and twenty five, 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven, they're backed up. Is late in the game. Again, 117 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: nothing to lose. I need to give my team a chance. 118 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna toss the ball up to number fourteen, 119 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: the guy who builds me out, because I need at 120 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: least ten to fifteen yards on this play. There is 121 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: no play for third, fourth and twenty. There's no play 122 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: for third and twenty five. You need to get around 123 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen yards. I have a chance to execute. 124 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses for Russell Wilson, but I'm just 125 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: trying to get in his head. What is going on 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: in the mind of the quarterback that this franchise in 127 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: town a city has learned to love and trust. So muscle, 128 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: that's my two cents. I'm just backing on rustles a 129 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, So let's talk about the positive, because 130 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: there is some positive in this and it's it's easy. Look. 131 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: A week ago, I was convinced we were playing our 132 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: best football. Everybody's healthy, there's no way we're losing a Buffalo. 133 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: We're about to go on a run and be fifteen 134 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: and one going into playoffs. A week off, life is good. 135 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: A week later, I'm questioning, are we gonna win another 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 1: football game? That's just emotion. So let's take the emotion 137 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: out now. It's look at the second half because we're 138 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: not going to turn the ball over four times again. 139 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson fumbled twice, two interceptions, and those interceptions came 140 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: on fourth down and third down and long. Even the 141 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: one of he got hit on the fumble, I think 142 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: it was the first one in the second half. It 143 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: was a third down situation. He's trying to extend. We're 144 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: not gonna do that. And so let's look at the positive. 145 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Seven sacks, and there was more pressure that. I mean, 146 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: if we could have gotten the big body, he's tough up. 147 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be a really good quarterback, especially if 148 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: you just let him pat the ball and throw it. 149 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: If it's gonna be skeleton, he's really good. You're gonna 150 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: have to get after him, just like this week. But 151 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: second half we had we had seven sacks in the game, 152 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: actually had eight. One of them we took off the 153 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: board because they had a holding penalty and so we 154 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: took it off ourselves. Another one we had a sack 155 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: and we had a penalty. So theory, we got him 156 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: on the ground nine times with the ball in his hand. 157 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of sacks. And in the second 158 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: half we gave about one hundred and thirty yards. There 159 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: was four drives in a row. We got after him. 160 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: We played differently. We didn't play soft, we contested, we 161 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: were on the upfield, shoulder, making him at least have 162 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: to throw a perfect pass, not a pass that doesn't matter. 163 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: If it's anywhere around twelve feet of the receiver, he 164 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: can go get it. So I'm looking at that sacks, 165 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the second half and again, never quit. 166 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean the game. Really most teams get blown out. 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: It's twenty seven twenty. We got a chance. Get off 168 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: the ball show there's some positive. They're gonna fix it. 169 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: We gotta get healthy, and we may not be healthy 170 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: this week, so we still may have another week or 171 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: two of growing pains. Okay, offensive positives, I'm gonna go offense. 172 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: DK still had to day seven catches, one hundred eight yards, 173 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: one touchdown. You can count on him. Another positive. David Moore, 174 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: the number three receiver, came through clutch really kind of 175 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: kept life in this offense with four catches seventy one yards, 176 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 1: averaging seventeen yards per catch that game. What I liked 177 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: early in the game that very first drive. You look 178 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: at that drive, DJ Dallas was moving and I kind 179 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: of like what they did offensively. They were moving locking 180 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: on that jet sweep. Look kind of like what the 181 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: Rams are doing. I think with this type of back 182 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: with DJ Dallas is not your Chris Carson is not 183 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna make twenty three is guys. Miss You gotta get 184 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: the defense moving left and right to allow him to 185 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: read those those gaps and those seems a bit more 186 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: early on in the game, that's what they were doing. 187 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: They kind of got away from that. So early DJ 188 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: got going. He had a long of ten. That wasn't 189 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: that very first drive and then the receiver show. Look, 190 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: we're still gonna make plays for you. Give us a chance. 191 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: And like you said, I don't think Russell Wilson is 192 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: going to turn the ball over four times again this year. 193 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: There are some positives there, but the Rams are coming, 194 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: are not thought the rounds coming to town. The Seahawks 195 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: are going to LA to play these Rams, and this 196 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: defense is tough. Man. Now, if it wasn't this pandemic, 197 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: we'd be flying down there. I mean, this is the 198 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: first time we'd get the chance to see their new stadium. 199 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: That thing looks like well, I think the one in 200 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: Vegas and there are very cool look and love to go. 201 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: This is a tough matchup for us. It always has been, 202 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: and partly it's the type of defense we play, the 203 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: type of offense they play. Miami absolutely got after golf. 204 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: Golf was horrible. They scored twenty one points off punt return, 205 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: a fumble, you know, striped sack, and then they got 206 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: one another one down to three yard line, tough one. 207 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: And then you got the best player in the league 208 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald coming. They are the number two defense 209 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yes, they're doing a lot of cool 210 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: fun things. They are going to contest us. So it's 211 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: gonna be hit mess. Uh, There's gonna be a tough game. 212 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough game. But you know what, Paul, 213 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: everyone always thinks they have it figured out, But how 214 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: hard is it actually to be an NFL coach? Coming 215 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: up next, Paul Martin, I take you through what is 216 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: actually like to coach in the NFL right here on 217 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: Hawks Live. Let it read salute the ones who die, 218 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: the ones again the live so we don't have to sacrifice. 219 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: All the things we love lie out you like that, huh? 220 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: I do like that's a little respect and tribute to 221 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: our veterans out there. That's that's from Zach brown Man, 222 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: a little country brown I know, Zach, I know, but 223 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: it was our first real country bump music. Yes, it 224 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: was coming back, so well, let me try this again, Paul. 225 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Hawks Live every Thursday. Me and Paul sitting 226 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: here at seven on seven ESPN, Seattle at Century Link 227 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: And Paul, it's hard out here for coach. It is hard, 228 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: especially when you're six and two and you supposedly have 229 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: the worst defense in NFL history and your quarterbacks turning 230 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: the ball over and everybody in the in the Seattle 231 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: area is calling for this, and they're calling for that, 232 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: and they think the coaches just wake up and go 233 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: to practice and show up. Yeah, what is it really 234 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: like now? I've been a high school head coach. I've 235 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: never done it to your level. You're a player, you're 236 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: a coach in NFL. To take us through what it's 237 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: like to be NFL coach. It's changed a little because 238 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: of technology. I don't think they need to be there 239 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: from six in the morning and sleep there two three 240 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: nights a week like we did back when I was coaching. 241 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: And part is we did a lot of the game plan. 242 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: We had to write it out by hand. We were 243 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: drawing our own circles, prepping for practice and plays. It's 244 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: just dim for now. I mean the cutups. It's it's instantaneous. 245 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: They don't have to worry about breaking down film. That's 246 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: done for them. So they probably have a life. But 247 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: I guarantee none of them are getting home before eleven 248 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: o'clock on well maybe Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and probably thirsty. Regardless, 249 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You're just your game plan. And look, 250 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: most coaches you get older older. I had some older guys. 251 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: They were just so efficient with their time. They were 252 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: so confident in what they did. I was a young coach, 253 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: I would have done it twenty four hours a day. 254 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have slept because I was so afraid that 255 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't going to prepare my guy. So here the 256 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: point is, these guys are smart. Guys are busting their butt. Man, 257 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: they got family. It's stressful because they feel the heat. 258 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: I mean, on paper, this is supposed to be a 259 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: pretty decent defense. But I'll tell you this, in nineteen 260 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: ninety two, not to date myself too much, I was 261 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: on a staff. I was a secondary coach. We had 262 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: a top ten defense. We are number two third down conversions, 263 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: We got after people. We had the most inept offense 264 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL the history. We were 265 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: two and fourteen that year. Okay, now, on offense, we 266 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: just didn't have the players. But we had times when 267 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: we had a lead going into halftime and our offense 268 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: with fifty seconds that we go back to pass and 269 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: we're like, Neil, Neil on the ball, let us winn 270 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: don't get another yard, just don't turn on. They would 271 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: turn it over and the team would score before half, 272 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: take the lead. My point on this is there when 273 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: they're busting their butt here and these guys are smart 274 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: or they didn't just get dumb overnight. We're six and two. 275 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: They're not trying to game plan for statistics. They're game 276 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: planning to win a game, and they're looking at their 277 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: personnel right now and they're saying, Okay, what's the best 278 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: ways to do that. Maybe it's we gotta place off 279 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: between the twenties and we've got to you know, tighten 280 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: it up, you know in the red zone. And for 281 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: the most part, and the first three quarters of this 282 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: game are the season, and the first three quarters of 283 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: a game throughout this season we've done Now, we've had 284 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: double digit leads every game but one going into this 285 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: last week, and maybe you can even make a case 286 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: that we've played well other than the fourth quarter in 287 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: just about every game. This was the first one. First 288 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: half we stunk, and so so the perception is, while 289 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: it's completely broken, these coaches don't know what they're doing. 290 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah they do. Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to be 291 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: the fan. I'm going to be the twelves of guys 292 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: who are typically here rocking the house. How hard is 293 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: it to make endgame adjustments? I mean, can't you see something? 294 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: They just make a move. There's guys up in the 295 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: booth or are looking down and they have the greatest 296 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: point of view when you're talking to your guys. Why 297 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: aren't they making adjustments? Are are the fans just not 298 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: seeing the adjustments being made? Well? I thought they did 299 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: try to make adjustments. They came out early, and Buffalo 300 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: had a game plan, and you don't usually see a 301 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: game plan just take off right from the get go, 302 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: and you don't. It's kind of like a lot of 303 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: teams script the first fifteen eighteen plays and you try 304 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: to weather that storm. If you can't early, they come 305 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: off that game plan. This one. Look, after three plays 306 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: they had scored a touchdown right and they get into 307 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: their next one. They got about eight plays, they got 308 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Man, they still got another five six plays 309 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: of scripting. We're trying to figure out their game plan 310 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: at this point, so it takes time. We did make 311 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: an adjustment, it's just too late, and we made the 312 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: adjustment as we started really contesting the receivers, and we're 313 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: still getting pressure on them. It's hard because at halftime. Look, 314 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: by time I get down there and they take a 315 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: bathroom break and all this, I got about three minutes. 316 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: Most of it's done on the sidelines. But look, I 317 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: can either play man zone or butt you. Okay, all right, 318 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: so now I'm still the twelves. I'm still the twelves talking. 319 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said they prepared for them to run the football. 320 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: They weren't really they prepared for them to throw it. Obviously, 321 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: you don't just ignore the past game. But if you're 322 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: a coach and you go in and you say, look, guys, 323 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: look at your player's eyes. Look, this is what we 324 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: expect them to do and that's not happening. How hard 325 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: is it to get out of the game plan that 326 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: you kind of had going all week? Is it? Is 327 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: it easily like Okay, we're gonna go back to what 328 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: we did week three. Guys, remember that game plan. Let's 329 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: do that or is it a slow adjustment you start 330 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: talking to pieces on one piece at a time. What's 331 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: that like. Yeah, that's a great question. By the way, 332 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: they did a great job in their game plan against 333 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: the run. I think they average one point eight yards 334 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: per carry. They did that. It's the other part, and 335 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: there are times again it takes you a series two, three, four, 336 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you go, Okay, here's what 337 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: they're doing. We do need to make an adjustment when 338 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: they do this type of formation. I rarely scraped my 339 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: game plan. I mean I put a whole game plan 340 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: together for a reason. A lot of it's on personnel 341 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: and it's on formations of all of a sudden, I'm 342 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: not saying any of that, and then I got to 343 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: make an adjustment. That adjustment didn't happen until the second half, 344 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: and it did happen in the second half. First half, 345 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: at least the first four drives, it was just we 346 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: were going to play the soft kind of quarter defense. 347 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: It was something I hadn't seen us do a lot of, 348 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: but it was very soft, and it was just pitch 349 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: and catch, pitch and catch, and then when we didn't 350 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: get to them, you know, we had some busted coverages again. 351 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: Second half, I know for the twelfth really frustrating first half. 352 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: A lot of it just flat out injuries, some mental 353 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: mistakes on the way cost us big. You're down, you know, 354 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: three scores, it's it's a battle the rest of the way. Okay, 355 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: So now I'm I'm the defensive line coach. My guys 356 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: before seven sacks they got after the quarterback, they silence 357 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: all the haters saying that they're not bringing the quarterback 358 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: down enough. What's that meeting room? Like, are you walking 359 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: in there? Like? All right, guys, we did our thing. 360 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: These guys got to catch up now because in the 361 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: year I was talking about, we is probably one of 362 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: the best defense see our history with the offense that 363 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: we have. If we had a great offense, we would 364 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: have been the number one defense in the league. I mean, 365 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: it's no question, But I don't think we scored twenty 366 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: points that whole year. You know, an amount of three 367 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: and ounce it just kills you. I would if I'm 368 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: the line coach, they go, look at what we're having 369 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: to do for us to get these sacks. We're having 370 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: to bring Jamal Adams, We're having to bring Bobby Wagner 371 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: and kJ We're bringing corners. On a third and two, 372 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: we're blitching a corner and Bobby's got to go out 373 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: and cover a guy ten yards away from him. I 374 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: didn't want really understand that call, but I'm not proud 375 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: of it. You know, Look, we lost. We gave up 376 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: forty four points, the most points Pete Carroll's given up 377 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: since he's been here. There's a lot not to like. 378 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna focus on the second half of that game, 379 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna look at what we got to do 380 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: moving forward, because the one thing about Pete is it's 381 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: too easy to be negative. I'm watching the fel that's 382 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: probably the most I've watched one game in the last 383 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: ten years. Oh you're all over, And I was frustrated, 384 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: and I was frustrated in the way we play zone defense. 385 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: I don't know everything. I don't know the guy who's hurt, 386 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: I don't know the matchup. If they don't, they're not 387 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: confident that that guy can cover them. And I believe 388 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: that a lot was played into that. But I was frustrated, 389 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: and we dropped coverage a couple of times. We can't 390 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: drop coverage. You can't drop coverage ever, So there's some accountability. 391 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: There's some frustration there that I know they're gonna address. 392 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: And I think, look, I think the best football for 393 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense is yet to come. You know what 394 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: I feel like? I feel like if I am Pete Carroll, 395 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: the head coach of the football team to your guys, 396 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: my mom hit me with this. I'm sure all of 397 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: our parents have hit us with this. Look I'm not man, guys, 398 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm just disappointing. Ah right, we we went over this. 399 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: This is what we do in this situation. This is 400 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: the time when you hit them with the we're better 401 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: than this. We we prepared for this. You guys know 402 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: what you're doing. It's time to kind of break them 403 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: down a bit. But you don't tear them down because 404 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: you need these guys to play. You still got eight 405 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: games left. Let me get back to my analogy. Get 406 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: a little tipsy, say a couple of things at a party, 407 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: and I was dumb. I shouldn't I shouldn't drink that much. 408 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: Then you have the moment. You mean, you're just you're 409 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: you're off your cleats do dumb, dumb things. It's that 410 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: you're walking down the street the next week and your 411 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: free moment and go, oh my god, did I do that? 412 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: And sometimes I've been saying, hey, you guys are better 413 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: than that. I'm really disappointed. Sometimes as a parent, they 414 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: come home, you go, I'm more than disappointed. Get your 415 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: butt upstairs. I don't want to see this again. So 416 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: that's may have been the conversation. Do you think that 417 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: was a conversation. I think it has to be. There's 418 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: just there was something. It's not all bad as much 419 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: as the twelves. They're listening right now and you put 420 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: on the film. There's some good play in there. There's 421 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: some good play in the front four. There's some good playing. 422 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: Speaking out of the twelve, Paul, I'll speaking out of 423 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: the twelve now, Michael bombs. But there's some accountability issues 424 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: going on that they've got to do. They're just do 425 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 1: your job for then rally, there's some plays. Fundamentally on 426 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: a screenplay. I'm watching on a screenplay. We used to 427 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: run this all the time in high school. It's called 428 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: screen you're flat down the line, then you fan out, 429 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: you never trail one of your your your your defenders 430 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: right fan out, start working towards the other goal line. 431 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: There was one thing. There were four guys bunched up 432 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: like a bunch of four year olds playing basketball, and 433 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: everybody is around. But there's ten guys there now spread out. 434 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: So there's some fun that's frustrating. So those are the 435 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: things you go, that's not happening anymore. You're not dropping average. 436 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: Play the defense. Let's let's give ourselves an opportunity to 437 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: win well. I think we have the talent to do it. 438 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: I think so too, Paul. You look at this defense 439 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: on paper, the Bobby Wagoner's, Jamal Adams, Shaquille Griffin, doun Lap. 440 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: There are ballers on this defense. They just gotta bring 441 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: it together. Give me Maoa back at Tuna Ford's plant. 442 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: There's some guys playing well at times. We just gotta 443 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: all play well now together, all play well together. Hey, Paul, 444 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: you're a great resource when it comes to that coach 445 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: of stuff.

But you know that's that's the main 659 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: RAM song that they played during the game, and of 660 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: course I was at that one game with the Kansas 661 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. You know, it was like what fifty one 662 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: to forty eight game or whatever it was against the Rams, 663 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: and all you kept on hearing. Every time the Rams scored, 664 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: you'd hear you know, California, which again, I love this song. 665 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: This is one of my favorites. John. I'm giving you 666 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: a hundred cool points because Morier was pretending like he 667 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: knew this song. Come you actually know it, John? Oh yeah, 668 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: doctor Dre Yeah, you know he knows who made it. Though, Well, 669 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: look at John's a step above me. But I can 670 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: sing it. Yeah, you can sing it? Okay? All right, John, 671 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: what's going on in the secondary? Who's healthy? Who's not healthy? 672 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: What should we what should we expect? Doesn't sound good? 673 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know the fact that Shaquille Griffin didn't 674 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: get out there today, that's not good. I again, Ugo 675 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: Amadi's going to be out there. You'd have to think 676 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: the way that you saw Quentin Dunbar play that they've 677 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: got to probably sit him because that knee, I don't 678 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: know if it's fifty percent sixty percent. It did not 679 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: look good at all. So it looks like they could 680 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: go into this game with Trey Flowers starting, DJ Reid 681 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: starting and Ugo Amarti Amadi being you know, the guy 682 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: that's going to be, you know in the nickel. Of course, 683 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: the one thing that the Rams do is that they 684 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: do a little bit more too tight end offense, and 685 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: so you know that could get Ryan Neil on the 686 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: field a little bit more. And we'll see about Nico Thorpe. 687 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: I guess there's a chance that he could come back 688 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: and maybe help out a little bit, both on special 689 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: teams and corner. But it's a scary situation because you 690 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: know they've got you know, good two receiver sets and uh, 691 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how good Josh Reynolds is, 692 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: but you know that's gonna make it tough. And you 693 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: have you look at that whole injury list that didn't 694 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: practice today. That's scary. John, Were you surprised that Jamal 695 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: Adams played one hundred percent of the snaps of defense 696 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: and Ryan Neil played with three to five plays? Not really, 697 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: because that's just Jamal Adams. I mean, he's gonna be 698 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: out there trying to play every play that he can 699 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: when he has the opportunity to do it. That is 700 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: why I think in a lot of ways. You know, 701 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: they held him out an extra week or two just 702 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: because they know they know him and his dedication to 703 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: the team and what he wants to do, and how 704 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: tough he can be. You know, looking at the Rams, 705 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: you look statistically their sixth offense, their second defense, he 706 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: would say, God, this is the toughest team at least, 707 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: you know statistically the Seahawks are going to play. But 708 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: I watch the Rams versus Miami, watch him against the Cowboys, 709 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. I think part of 710 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: it is if teams scheme them right, they shut him 711 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: down offensively. But how good is this team? Hard to 712 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: say this is gonna be a real proving ground right now, 713 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: because when you really look back, of course, we all 714 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: know that the Seahawks are going to go through it. 715 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: You know, after these ten days when they play Rams 716 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: and Arizona, you know they're going to have the four 717 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: easier games against three NFC East teams and the New 718 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: York Jets. Well, basically, when you look at the schedule 719 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: for the Rams, who have they played, I mean they 720 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: haven't the only team that they've really played as any 721 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: good is going to be the Buffalo Bills, and in 722 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: that game, they fell behind in the first half twenty 723 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: eight to three. This is what that number two ranked defense. 724 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: They fell behind twenty eight to three, they came back 725 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: to take the lead and then end up losing the game. 726 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: And so what you're seeing toward the end of the season, 727 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: which is a benefit for Seattle, is the advantage that 728 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: the Rams have right now. And I mean you can 729 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: look at it and say, Okay, their linebacker play isn't 730 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: that good. They had better play from cornerbacks because again 731 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's one of the cornerbacks. They have shaky situations 732 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: at the safety position. Obviously, Aaron Donald is the defensive 733 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: player of the year. He's got nine sacks and fifteen 734 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: tackles for loss. But how good is their defense right now? 735 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it matches the numbers, just based on 736 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: the schedule that they've played. John, what are your thoughts 737 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: on Cooper Cup? I got a real man crush on 738 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. He can run and routes. His run after 739 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: the catch is awesome. What do you what do you 740 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: think about Cooper Cup? I like him a lot. I 741 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: still remember being on the sidelines in the first Los 742 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: Angeles game in his rookie year, and I'm looking at 743 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: him and say, WHOA, look at this guy, and it's like, 744 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 1: at the very worst, I thought he was a number 745 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: two receiver, and you can see he can develop into 746 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. But I saw that in 747 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: that first game that he had against Seattle, which is 748 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: down in Los Angeles, and I like him a lot. 749 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm like you, I wouldn't call it a man crush 750 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: for me. You can call it a man crush. But 751 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: let's put this way. If you want to call it 752 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: a receiver crush. I like him. It's funny. I had 753 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: a man crush and it was Tom Brady. You guys 754 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: have Cooper Cup. I win so well, let's put this way. 755 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: You didn't win last week at thirty eight to three 756 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: one week, one week I'm talking about you know what's 757 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: so speaking though, that's it won't even tie in. I'm 758 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: nervous about this COVID nineteen thing, John, I go, just 759 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: the SEC shut down four games, pack twelve again. Their 760 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: rules are ridiculous. I think the NFL has better rules 761 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: and potentially better process and outcomes. What's your thoughts? Does 762 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: this thing? Let me let me call you down on that, 763 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 1: because please, no one on the numbers guy, is that 764 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: last week there was forty four players that was on 765 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen lists. Forty four players. Fifteen of those, 766 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: which is the highest in the season, you know, had 767 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: positive test fifteen, But if you go for the four 768 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: weeks before that, it was eight, eight, eight and eight. 769 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: And so if you're only gonna have eight for an 770 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,680 Speaker 1: even fifteen, you're not going to be canceling or postponing 771 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: games and so like, so far this week, you know, 772 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: i'd say I have to add today, so it would 773 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: probably be sixteen players that sixteen seventeen players they're on 774 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: the COVID's list, but I think it may be a 775 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: little less than five or six that have test stood positive. 776 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: Because what you have to remember, the way this thing 777 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: breaks down under the protocol is that you know, if 778 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: you're let's say Ben Roethlisberger and you're flying next to 779 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: Vance McDonald and you're sitting two seats away from him, 780 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: and he has a positive test, then he and three 781 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: other players on the Steelers they end up having to 782 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: go into copslists for five days because that's considered to 783 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: be high risk contact. But it doesn't mean that they 784 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 1: tested positive, because the only real positive on the Steeler 785 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: tests was Vance McDonald. That's one, and you're not going 786 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: to move a game back for one. I mean, there's 787 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: still the chance that you can have a big outbreak 788 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: like they had in Tennessee, which was brutal because they've 789 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: had to like about eleven or twelve positive tests on 790 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: that team. But as long as they don't have that 791 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: type of outbreak, and right now, the protocols there with 792 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: the separation of the players for five days, I think 793 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be Okay. They've had one hundred and thirty three, 794 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,279 Speaker 1: if you want to include tonight, one hundred and thirty 795 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: four games that have been played, and they've not lost one, 796 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: and I still believe they can get through the rest 797 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: of the season without having to lose a game. What 798 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: did just your thoughts end on the NFL proving the 799 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 1: sixteen team playoff FOMA if there's some significant games lost, Yeah, 800 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's an option that they can use, 801 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: which I don't like, but again, it's something that gives 802 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: them the ability, you know, with tie breakers and everything else, 803 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, let's do it this way and we'll 804 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: just kind of open it up a little bit, but 805 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: I still think that they're going to get through with 806 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: the two hundred and fifty six games and be able 807 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: to play them all and not have to lose any 808 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,720 Speaker 1: Now again, it gets trickier after Week thirteen because there's 809 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: that's the last week where you have a no buy 810 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: weeks and so getting through December, and of course what 811 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,320 Speaker 1: I worry about is that you have a team in 812 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: December with those one or two wins that just basically 813 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: says we don't care about anything. What we're gonna do 814 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: is that we're going to go party because we don't 815 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: care about the season or anything else. And I think 816 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: what that could lead to is some forfeitures. And of 817 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: course the forfeitures wouldn't mean that you would, you know, 818 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: lose a win or a loss for a good team, 819 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: but I think that's what plays into it. And of course, 820 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, from the owner's standpoint, if there is a forfeiture, 821 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: you don't have to pay the winning team or the 822 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: team that's having to forfeit. John Russell Wilson has been 823 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: in the MVP race taught for most of the year. 824 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 1: Last week, I feel like he took a hit. There's 825 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: a guy that's not being talked about a lot in 826 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 1: my opinion as Aaron Rodgers twenty four touchdowns, two hundred sixtions, 827 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: same record as Russell Wilson. One is Russell still in 828 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: the race? And two should Aaron Rodgers get more love? Yeah? 829 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: I think what it comes down to is that the 830 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: gap narrowed a little bit between Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. 831 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: But still the one thing that stands out is that Patrick, 832 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: you got Russell Wilson on the pace right now with 833 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: the throw for fifty six touchdown passes, Well that hasn't happened. 834 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: And you know, fifty six touchdown passes on the team 835 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: that can win eleven or twelve games, that's gonna win 836 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: the edge. Now, Mahomes he can probably win twelve or 837 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: thirteen games. He's on pace for about forty nine, and 838 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: I think Aaron Rodgers is on pace for forty eight. 839 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: So I think what the record and the touchdown passes 840 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: are really going to determine this. So the edge became closer, 841 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: but still I think Russell has the edge. John this 842 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: year segment, what do you want to talk about? Well, 843 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: you know it's people didn't ask about this week, is 844 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,280 Speaker 1: why haven't the Seahawks looked at the getting Vic Beasley? 845 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: And here's the answer. The answer is what they looked 846 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: at is they looked at a player who's talented. He's 847 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: been to the Pro Bowl, he's had sacks and all 848 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: those different things, and he's a good pass rusher. But 849 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: they kind of wonder does he really want to play 850 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 1: because what they see is a lack of motivation and 851 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things that he did. And of course 852 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: that's what tennant Ce identified with. I mean, he showed 853 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: up ten days late for the start of training camp 854 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: talking about a mysterious injury that they really haven't even 855 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: confirmed what it is, and then you see him go 856 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, he didn't win the starting job. 857 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: He got nine and a half million dollars, still has 858 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: that in his pocket, by the way, and I didn't 859 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: get a single sack and got very few tackles. So 860 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: I think the reason that they didn't sign Vic Beasley 861 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: is because they wondered how motivated is him to play football? 862 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: And I think that's the question, John, why I appreciate you. 863 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: We appreciate you taking time out of your day and 864 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: hollerin at us and ask always you keep it funky Baby. Okay, 865 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna get doctor Drake for me again. Hey, if 866 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: you want Dray Dray all day, I'll see John. Thanks John. 867 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we turn up the heat 868 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. Two men inter but there can only 869 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: be one winner. Paul Moyer and I will talk that talk. 870 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere.

Sorry, yeah, sorry, yes, sir, 875 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: time to talk that talk me Michael Bumps, my guy, 876 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: Paul Moyer, gonna throw some topics out there. We're just 877 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: gonna say with our chests, we're gonna tell you how 878 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: we feel about it now. Paul Moyer, Yes, my first 879 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: question to you is bring it on. Is this really 880 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: the worst defense in NFL history? We talked about the 881 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: safer Well, I guess statistically we are at this moment, 882 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: but I talked earlier on the show. I was with 883 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: the worst offense in the history the NFL, the most 884 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: inept offense in NFL history. We were two and fourteen. 885 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: They deserve to be called the worst offense in the 886 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: history of the NFL. We're six and two. Yeah, we're 887 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: not game plan and statistics and Kansas City's offensive coordinator 888 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: I brought that up a week ago. He talked about too, 889 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 1: because we don't care about staff. We're trying to win 890 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: football games, and if we got to win a game 891 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: this way, we'll do it. And defensively, if we've got 892 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: to bend at times and give up some yards, we'll 893 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: do that. On paper, No way is this the worst 894 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL history. No way. On paper you 895 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: meet this personnel. I mean we got players. Yeah, we're 896 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: banged up. We haven't been together. This offseason has been 897 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: very different. There's clearly a reason why offenses are so 898 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: far ahead of defenses, partly as they're not there's no 899 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: holding penalties anymore, so they're able to throw all day long. 900 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,919 Speaker 1: They're running these deep routes, and so if I don't 901 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: have the manpower like Miami and even the Rams at 902 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: corner where I can say, let's lock it up, let's 903 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: play some man to man get after these guys. If 904 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm at to play some zone and if I don't 905 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: really understand zone concepts and how to pass things off 906 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: and play triangle defenses within the zone, man, you're gonna 907 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: have breakdowns. And that's just what's happened to the Seahawks. 908 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: Second half of last week. We played pretty well. I'm 909 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 1: gonna take that as deposit. If no, we are not 910 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 1: the worst, We're not going to finish the worst statistically though, 911 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 1: We've got some We got some room to move and 912 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 1: got some explaining to do. We do hey, but you 913 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: know it wouldn't all on the defense. No offense starting 914 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: the ball over four sixteen points off of turnovers. Yeah, 915 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: some of them were head scratcher. Some of them might 916 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: get Russell pushing the envelope on fourth down thirteen. But 917 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 1: the reason why I don't love the fourth down one 918 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 1: is we were on that three or four yard line. 919 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: If it's an incomplete pass, I got him backed up 920 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 1: and now we're bringing all the way to the twenty. 921 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: So last week Russell four turnovers and he's had a 922 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: few now in the last few games. Right, in the 923 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: last three games have been turnover happy. Is that an 924 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 1: outlier you know? Or this sign to come? What are 925 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 1: we seeing all right, well, let me let me get 926 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,840 Speaker 1: back to is this the worst defense? I didn't let 927 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: your comment and let me comment. It's fine though, it's fine, 928 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: But moving on, So, is this the worst defense in NFL? 929 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to give the seahouse. I'm gonna 930 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,480 Speaker 1: throw them a bone. Okay. One, they're not giving up 931 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: the most points in the league anymore. They're giving up 932 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 1: thirty point four. The Jags are getting up thirty point nine. Okay. Second, 933 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: they're fourth in rushing deep in seventy seven yards per game. 934 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,320 Speaker 1: Maybe a result of them giving up a lot of 935 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: yards in the past game, giving up a lot. Okay. 936 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: Now the halls is given up the most pass yards 937 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: per game. Now, teams are passing the ball thirty three 938 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: times per game. That's the most. Is twenty sixteen, like 939 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,240 Speaker 1: the second most in the last ten years. Okay. Teams 940 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: are completely sixty five percent of their passes. That's the 941 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Ever, teams are averaging twenty to 942 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,959 Speaker 1: forty five yards per game. That's the most NFL history. 943 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: So pretty much, they are bad at what everyone is 944 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: really good at, but they are good at what on 945 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 1: the other side of the spectrum. The run game. So 946 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to throw them a bone and say, look, no, 947 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: they are not the worst defensive NFL history. They are 948 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: really bad at what everyone else is good at at 949 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: this moment. But there is time for them to get back. 950 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 1: Look we've played Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Minnesota, Arizona, Buffalo. Those 951 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: teams are all, you know, top fifteen teams. Ship Curtly 952 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: throwing the football had New England. He had a really 953 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: good game as well. Again, I don't believe they are 954 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,399 Speaker 1: the worst. I don't think, and I don't think they're 955 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: going to because we still have it. Here's the beauty. 956 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 1: We get to play the forty nine ers again. We 957 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: got Philadelphia, they can't throw it. We got the Giants, 958 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: we know they can't. We got the Jets cannot throw Washington. 959 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 1: Who are they playing at quarterback? They'll playing a guy 960 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: who almost lost his leg a couple of years. I 961 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: think he's actually done great story, you know, But I'm like, no, 962 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,280 Speaker 1: they We're playing four teams that don't have a quarterback. 963 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna start, He's gonna gonna start. Yeah, Kyle Allen 964 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: got hurt. He is going to start off Sunday alrighty 965 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: Haskins is still he This is how far he's dropped. 966 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: He can't even get on the as a second team quarterback. Okay, 967 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 1: he might this week. But here here's here's why I'm 968 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,280 Speaker 1: gonna throw a stat at this really interesting. The Seas 969 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: are given up three hundred and sixty two yards a 970 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: game throwing the football. The worst in NFL history was 971 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety nine. We got a waste to go, Paul, Yeah, 972 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: is that bad? It's not good. It's not good. But look, 973 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: I truly believe best is yet to come. We're gonna 974 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: be a good defense by the end of this year. 975 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: It's gotta simplify it, get healthy, and let's say, guys 976 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 1: go make plays. Okay, we're gonna simphi and that's what 977 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,880 Speaker 1: we've always done. So back to mine, back to yours. 978 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: Russell Man did not help us out last week. Even 979 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: though we had we still score over thirty. We still 980 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: had a productive day. Four turnovers, sixteen points that they 981 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: got off those turnovers and field position things you know 982 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: when we're in the hunt type of stuff. Outlier. This 983 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: is this what's gotten because this just now you go 984 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: to Arizona and last week and I think we're gonna 985 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 1: see it this week too. It's gonna be three out 986 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: of four weeks we're gonna get the zone blitz package. 987 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna try and bring pressure on us, and it's 988 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 1: sometimes gonna be hit or miss. Are we now patient 989 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 1: enough to take the dump down, to take the five 990 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: yard play? Get some quick screw means go back who 991 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: we did? I think early in the season, well, Sun, 992 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 1: we got a taste of that big play. I love 993 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: the big play, by the way, Yeah, no, I love 994 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,439 Speaker 1: the big play as well. But when you're getting blitz, 995 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: the big play is no longer there. You no longer 996 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: can roll to your right then look for that backside 997 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,399 Speaker 1: post every single time, or that that post come back. 998 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: What DK did against the Niners looks so beautiful. At 999 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: this moment in time, you know you're going to get pressure, 1000 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 1: so you have to take the dumbdells. You have to 1001 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: get it to Travis Homer, DJ, you gotta give it 1002 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,879 Speaker 1: to David Moore and locket. You have to run short game. 1003 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: You have to do the things that the Rams do, 1004 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: that the Niners do, and that the Arizona Cardinals do. 1005 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: They get the ball to their play. Americans say Look, 1006 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 1: you go get all of that yet, get all of 1007 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: that yet. So I think that after this week and now, 1008 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: if the Hawks come out and Wilson comes out and 1009 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,839 Speaker 1: does the same thing against a bunch of pressure, then 1010 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: it's an outlier. He's not learning. But Russell's a smart guy. 1011 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: He's sharp, he's sharp. He's going to learn. They're going 1012 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 1: to fix this. He's going to take the checkdowns in 1013 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 1: the don'ts let me finish this question off though, thirty 1014 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: eight points, thirty five points, thirty eight points, thirty one, 1015 00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven, thirty four, thirty seven, thirty four. Pretty good offense, 1016 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,160 Speaker 1: right too, say not that, but my concern is the turnovers. 1017 00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 1: It's the sack and it's a guy's coming free. Russell Wilson, Look, 1018 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,439 Speaker 1: justin Britt last year handled most of the protection. He's 1019 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: had some pretty good veteran smart centers in the past. 1020 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 1: He now's got to call protection. He's got to know 1021 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,880 Speaker 1: the snap count, he's got to put the guy in motion, 1022 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: he's got to have the audible ready, he's got to 1023 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: know when the play clock's going. He realized there's seven 1024 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: guys up in the box. Are they all coming or 1025 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: these only two guys coming and they're dropping these other three? 1026 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: Are they bringing all seven? And where it's a side 1027 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 1: of just now the clock's running down to four three? 1028 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: Is there a point where he goes I forgot where 1029 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: my protection is because it looked like twice maybe in 1030 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 1: this game he forgot and he should have got rid 1031 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: of it or thrown it away. It's too much on 1032 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: it's not too much. You gotta be a Hall of 1033 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: Fame quarterback. Omaha, omaha, omaha. You gotta be paid Manning, 1034 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: you got me, Tom Brady got me. Jew Brees. Isn't 1035 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 1: just being an average no, if you if you want 1036 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 1: to be the Russell Wilson that we all think he 1037 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 1: is a Hall of Fame quarterback, He's got to handle 1038 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 1: all that. You're playing the hardest position in all sports, 1039 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,719 Speaker 1: in my positions, when it comes to that mental you 1040 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 1: are control of a lot of stuff. He has to 1041 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,279 Speaker 1: be able to handle that, and I think he is. 1042 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna learn from this. Everyone has to 1043 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: show Tom Brady just played probably one of the worst 1044 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 1: games of his life as a six time Super Bowl champ. Crush, Yes, 1045 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 1: your man, come man, here's this cup. Well, we'll be 1046 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,959 Speaker 1: at minus cup by the way. If it was Gough, 1047 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: I changed too much for him. I would take that 1048 00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: protection off of him. He doesn't know where the sun 1049 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 1: rises and sets, and Kyrie Irving thinks the world is flat. 1050 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 1: Here we go, all right? Coming up next, we'll go 1051 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: inside the film room and revisit the biggest plays from 1052 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawk Loss of the Bills. That's a round the 1053 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 1: corner right here on Hawkslide, Hawks Slide every three from 1054 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: cheven and nine live on air on cheven Jenny ESPN 1055 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 1: Hearts Alive, Michael bomb Is, Paul Moyer, Buddy, this got 1056 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,880 Speaker 1: me in a little groove right here. I know the song. 1057 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. All right, babe, we're 1058 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 1: here every Thursday. Paul, I can say no, but can you? 1059 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: I mean, are you a shower singer? Like I'm good 1060 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 1: to shower and I'm a I'm a shower your wife? 1061 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 1: Can he gonna say no, She's gonna say no. But 1062 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: you know what I will do? Well, spit bars no bars, 1063 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: art rappers, wrapping, they call it. They call him bars. 1064 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: So why why do you do that? Chancause you get me? 1065 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: Did it? You're looking your eyes told me you didn't 1066 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: know what that was Paul bar I played the piano exactly. 1067 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: All Right, there we go. We're going inside the film room, 1068 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: and this first part we're gonna look at his Jamal 1069 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,359 Speaker 1: Adam sex Josh Alan on a key third and six 1070 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,879 Speaker 1: from his own twenty seven yard line, takes a high 1071 00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,280 Speaker 1: snap and shake. He's gonna go down again. It's Adams 1072 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,239 Speaker 1: who got there. Jamal Adams on the blitz gets to 1073 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. The Seahawks defense comes alive in this drive 1074 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: and pushes the Buffalo Bills back on a couple of 1075 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: straight plays and forced punt. Now, this play right here, 1076 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: Paul is just I am bigger, and not even bigger. 1077 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm just better than now. There's you know there was 1078 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: when I was in high school. My coach, coach Miles, 1079 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: our defensive cording, he's the same. All you guys want 1080 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 1: to do is bench press. Bench Press doesn't show up 1081 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: on the football field. I'll tell you one thing, Paul Moyer, 1082 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: and bench press showed up right here when Jamal Adams 1083 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 1: pretty much bench press. The guy on the edge got 1084 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 1: to Josh Allen. This is what he's here to do. 1085 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: People are asking him to drop into coverage and to 1086 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: get interceptions. That's not what he does. Who's the next 1087 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: best safety in the league, Buddha Baker, That's not what 1088 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: he does either. He has one intercess maybe I think 1089 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,839 Speaker 1: two in his career, both of this year. So they're 1090 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 1: asking him to do what he's great at. He's firing 1091 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: off the edge, getting to a grown man's chest, pushing 1092 00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: him back, getting after the quarterback. These are the type 1093 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 1: of plays I'm here for Jamal Adams. Seven guys in 1094 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 1: the box and they got Bobby Wagner up on the center. 1095 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: To me, what makes this play work more than anything 1096 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: is we're tight on coverage. We're jamming guys and you know, 1097 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: least up top, and so you got Alan here, who's 1098 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: got to come off for receivers nowhere to throw too. 1099 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: And you're right, this is why they drafted or not draft. 1100 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: This is why they traded for Jamal Adams, gave up 1101 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,720 Speaker 1: two first round draft picks. I mean he just flat 1102 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 1: out beats a tight end. I mean he bull rushes 1103 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: a tight end, you know, and it's it's men and 1104 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: monks boys. But coverage first allowed him to do what 1105 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: he does best and etch sack quarterbacks. And that really 1106 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,280 Speaker 1: is one of the best thing he does. Yeah, Jamal, 1107 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: this is what he's here to do. I love it. Okay, 1108 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,960 Speaker 1: next play, Josh Allen finds John Brown for thirty three 1109 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,440 Speaker 1: yards on third in sixteen. Bullitz is coming, I mean 1110 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: all out, quick thrown near side ball is called. It's 1111 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: smoke Brown. He's down inside the fifteen, the ten five, 1112 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 1: down to the three yard line. The Seahawks splits to everybody. 1113 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,479 Speaker 1: Quick throw to Brown, who ran right through the middle 1114 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: of the Seahawks defense, and it's gonna be first in 1115 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:13,000 Speaker 1: goal Buffalo inside the five. This was the dry Here's 1116 00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: what's disappointed about. I want to can I let the 1117 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: people know it is your face when you saw this play? Why, 1118 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 1: Paul was I feel your payment now? I'm sorry, Paul. 1119 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 1: Go ahead. It's it's twenty seven to twenty. We three 1120 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: plays earlier, we had sacked their quarterback to get off 1121 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: the field and they called I guess it was a 1122 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: good call. They called in the legal bump downfield on 1123 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,960 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams on this one. The reason why my face 1124 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 1: is they run a quick screen. I mean, it's just 1125 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,839 Speaker 1: it's a it's a one man route. We got two 1126 00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 1: defensive backs out there. I got. I'm not sure why 1127 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,319 Speaker 1: he's playing quite this deep. I get it because it's 1128 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 1: third and sixteen and he's hurt, and this is a 1129 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,399 Speaker 1: dunbar in this case, and they a great, great call 1130 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,359 Speaker 1: by them. I mean, this is just a great call. 1131 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 1: It's just a quick screen, and it's just that it's 1132 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: a quicken What quick screens mean is I throw it 1133 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: out very quick out to the wide receiver and then 1134 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 1: I release every one of my linemen. They have four 1135 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: offensive lineman running down field. The reason why I'm disappointed, 1136 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: if you could see what I see on here, is 1137 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,399 Speaker 1: I've got four guys who really don't react very well. 1138 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: And that's a couple of defensive lineman, a linebacker, a 1139 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: safety who has blitzing and then it's just their pursuit angle. 1140 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:29,399 Speaker 1: I mean they literally are following each other, running into 1141 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,640 Speaker 1: each other's backs. I mean, it's just fundamentally, it's as 1142 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 1: soon as I see that it's down the line, fan out. 1143 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 1: Fan out again means just that I'm fanning towards the 1144 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 1: goal line, and so I'm staggered. I have one guy 1145 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 1: in the line of screamage. I have another guy three 1146 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: or four yards who's closer to the end zone. Another 1147 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: guy three or four yards closer. I just start fanning 1148 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,400 Speaker 1: out to have proper pursuit angles. Whether they're tired, they 1149 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 1: might be, I get it, but fundamentally, I just I 1150 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 1: really struggle with this. I'm actually going to give more 1151 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: credit to their offense. This was such a brilliant call 1152 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: because we had been blitzing and coming after them, coming 1153 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 1: after them, and they finally said, all right, well, how 1154 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 1: do you beat that? Well, you do things like this, 1155 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,320 Speaker 1: You do quick screens, you let everybody rush up field, 1156 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 1: and now I've got all my offensive lineman, you know, 1157 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: going after two guys. So they literally have six five 1158 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: guys blocking two of our guys. The guy who makes 1159 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: this play. And why I'm most disappointed and also positive 1160 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: so our backside corner, Tray Flowers, our backside corner, Tray Flowers, 1161 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,919 Speaker 1: makes us play. The thing that disappoints me the most 1162 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 1: on this play is third and fifteen. These plays are 1163 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: coming on third and fifteen, the screens, the draws, they're 1164 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 1: already in field goal position. You hand it off, you're 1165 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 1: just trying to get five to six yards to set 1166 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,760 Speaker 1: your kicker up, and you decide to blitz the house 1167 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 1: and peek here on this, he said, look, man, that 1168 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 1: was my call to be heat off the kid Norton. 1169 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 1: That's my call. I decide to do that. I roll 1170 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: the dice. If this happens, if they if they blitz 1171 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: all out like this and they sat the quarterback. Now 1172 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: he's a genius. Every now and then you walk, you 1173 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 1: walk by the roulette table and you go, you know what, 1174 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 1: hundred hundred on black and then it goes red. No, 1175 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 1: every now and you go hundred on black and then 1176 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 1: it goes black. It's it's sometimes it goes green. So 1177 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: it's not quite fifty fifty. That's why you always sure 1178 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: that give me that that's thirty six to one or 1179 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 1: something like that. I don't really know, but something about that, um, 1180 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's just one. It's a really good offensive call. 1181 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,760 Speaker 1: And there's there's when you're really playing well and you're 1182 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 1: just focused, you're in the moment, you're talking. You go, hey, guys, 1183 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: by the way, third and sixteen. I always said, watch 1184 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 1: the screen now. It's different screen than we used to 1185 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 1: see back then. It was running back, faking like he's 1186 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,760 Speaker 1: gonna block. He slides out or into the middle, trying 1187 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 1: to find a spot, you know, and then get some 1188 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 1: offensive line and leading the way. Now they do it 1189 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 1: with wide receivers. But I'm just alerting people, Hey, don't 1190 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 1: forget we're blitzing. It's third and sixteen. If it's too 1191 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: good to be true, it is Dave Wyman always calling 1192 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,760 Speaker 1: some pass rushing geniuses. Oh my god, I'm free and 1193 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: no one's blocking you. And it's just more of an 1194 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 1: awareness of hey, if I see that, remember, it's immediate 1195 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,080 Speaker 1: down the line, fan quickly. Maybe they don't make this 1196 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 1: play to a really tough play to stop. I get it. 1197 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,720 Speaker 1: So it is tough, all right. Next play, Russell Wilson 1198 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: connects with David Moore for a fifty five yard touchdown. 1199 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,360 Speaker 1: Russ steps up almost steps right into the blitz. Now 1200 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna roll back right side. He's gonna look at it. 1201 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna let a fly as deep as he can't. 1202 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:44,720 Speaker 1: He's got a man touchdown Seahawks. David Moore had gotten 1203 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 1: way behind the defense, and Russ just rears up and 1204 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 1: froze it deep. Trailing now forty one, twenty six. The 1205 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,000 Speaker 1: Seahawks never out of it until there's all zeros one. 1206 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: I want to point out David Moore. All he does 1207 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: is this big plays, big play David Moore. That's what 1208 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: he does too. That it's a clear bus by the 1209 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: corner for the Buffalo Bills. He takes the bait, he 1210 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 1: jumps on what it looks like. It's a seam. A 1211 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: great cash by David Moore. But I want to look 1212 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 1: look at Russell Wilson in the end zone to view 1213 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 1: Paul the way he maneuvers his pocket, fills pressure, steps 1214 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: to the left, puts his foot in the ground, steps back. 1215 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is These are the kind of plays 1216 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: that makes Russell Wilson special. He can improvise, and also 1217 01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 1: I think these are the type of plays that will 1218 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,520 Speaker 1: get him in trouble because it's like, look, I'm a 1219 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 1: magician back here. I'm gonna make this happen. I'm gonna 1220 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: hold onto the ball a little bit longer than I should. 1221 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: But late in the game a play needed to be made. 1222 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,280 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson finds a way to maneuver outside that pocket. 1223 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: DEMODEI is runs up that sideline. The corner who has 1224 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 1: the thirds or that deep zone of the field bites 1225 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,520 Speaker 1: on the scene. He's wide open. Russell Wilson does what 1226 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, it's a great finish, and I wish 1227 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and actually encourage everybody to go on and try and 1228 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:05,360 Speaker 1: find this play because as often as Buffalo blitz and 1229 01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: did zone blitzes, and they had a few times where 1230 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: they got free and some of them they we just 1231 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: held on the ball too long, got sacks. This is 1232 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 1: a really tough blitz to pick up, and we pick 1233 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: it up beautiful. I mean it is God. I mean 1234 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 1: we picked us up so good. I mean Damian Lewis 1235 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: who ends up coming backside to try and help out, fantastic. 1236 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,440 Speaker 1: There's guys running free all over the place, and so 1237 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 1: if we had this a bunch, you would say got Buffalo. 1238 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Coaches are the dumbest coaches I've ever seen, right, but 1239 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,280 Speaker 1: every once in a while they work. And that's what 1240 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 1: happens in these games. They're called calculated risks. You try 1241 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,000 Speaker 1: something to me, this is way too cute. They're trying 1242 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: to really cute. They send four guys, but it's it's 1243 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 1: a disaster what they're trying to do dropping guys and 1244 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 1: pick up receivers. There's guys open everywhere and they bust. 1245 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 1: And that's what happens at times with the Seahawks too. 1246 01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,360 Speaker 1: You can take calculated risks. You can't ever give up 1247 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 1: these type of place. But when you do this kind 1248 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 1: of stuff all the time, you're gonna give up some 1249 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,720 Speaker 1: big plays. Buffalo, this is one of them. Right. They 1250 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: had only given up one forty yard play all season. 1251 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 1: They gave up three to us. They give two forty 1252 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 1: yards a fifty yards they get over three over forty plus. 1253 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 1: I thought we agreed that I was going to be 1254 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 1: the only one to spit that stet you were, But 1255 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,800 Speaker 1: that was last week. But now they've given up four. 1256 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 1: And so my point is, look, it's coaching. Sometimes you 1257 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: make a calculated risk. You hope you play it well, 1258 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 1: you hope they don't pick it up properly, and but 1259 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it happens. And here's a good example 1260 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 1: of Buffalo had been dominating all game. They gave up 1261 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: three big plays to us in the second half. Yep, 1262 01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,480 Speaker 1: beautiful play by Russell Wilson. Well. Coming up next is 1263 01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: home field advantage officially gone? Will the Jets be the 1264 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: next and sixteen team?

Michael bumpas Paul Moria Hawks Live 1277 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,440 Speaker 1: on seventeen, get the most tweets on the bumps you get. Hey, 1278 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 1: you're the guy man. I want to be like you 1279 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: and I grow up Paul. All here we go going 1280 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 1: around the NFL. Paul road teams are sixty seven, sixty 1281 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 1: five and one in twenty twenty. Is that because there 1282 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: are no fans ends in the stands every day? It's 1283 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: just it's a neutral game. It's like a NASO championship 1284 01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma and Florida. It's playing USC It's a national 1285 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:18,360 Speaker 1: championship game. Look, it's a neutral game, right. I can't 1286 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 1: even hear myself right now. It's a little loud, but 1287 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 1: it's a neutral game. I actually thought coming into the 1288 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: season this was gonna be a season where the best 1289 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 1: team has the best record, maybe not winning the super Bowl, 1290 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:35,720 Speaker 1: but the team that has the best record is gonna 1291 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 1: be the best team because there's not gonna be a 1292 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: home field advantage to go seven and one or eight 1293 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,560 Speaker 1: and oh, you gotta go win on the road. Right now, 1294 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,080 Speaker 1: we're undefeated at home, which kind of weird, and where 1295 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 1: we've lost two games on the road to Arizona and Buffalo. 1296 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,400 Speaker 1: But this is the first time ever that the road 1297 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 1: team halfway through the season has a better record than 1298 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: the home team. That's unbelievable. It's never been that close. 1299 01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: So so there's two things to this, all right. One 1300 01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,480 Speaker 1: is no excuses anymore about travel. No, you still got 1301 01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:10,800 Speaker 1: a factor in travel, but you're because the road tea 1302 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,280 Speaker 1: but still travel still affects you a bit though a 1303 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 1: little maybe back east, like last week, play in the 1304 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 1: morning game a day. I'll give it a point maybe two, 1305 01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 1: or old buddy Dorry Monson woul probably say now it's 1306 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,520 Speaker 1: three point three point three point five. Yeah, he would 1307 01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 1: have it down to the science on that. But look, 1308 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 1: this is a neutral field. The best team wins. Now, 1309 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,240 Speaker 1: this is why I'm not worried about the Seahawks record. 1310 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 1: It's just get into the playoffs. It doesn't matter if 1311 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 1: you travel on the the playoffs and be as healthy 1312 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: as possible. That is more important a year ago to 1313 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: any any year. But this year, home field advantage is 1314 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 1: more important to being healthy, right, I mean it motivates. 1315 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you have a home field advantage here at 1316 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: Century Link. You're going to the super Bowl, it's guaranteed. 1317 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 1: H But now no health over a home or road game. Yeah. 1318 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 1: I look at this and I think that I think 1319 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: of the NBA bubble. You sell all these great performances 1320 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,000 Speaker 1: we saw in the NBA bubble. The world got introduced 1321 01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 1: to Jamal Murray. Yeah, Mitchell from Utah is good. Yeah, 1322 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 1: he's a baller porter from Denver who went to Nathan 1323 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Hell up here. He broke out of his show. He 1324 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: was averaging like ten points and now and the Bobb's 1325 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:27,320 Speaker 1: averaging twenty. It allows guys who don't really perform at 1326 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 1: a high level to perform at a high level because 1327 01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: they don't have to deal with all that chatta that 1328 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 1: goes on in the crowd. You can just focus on 1329 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: playing ball. It's quiet around. So I'm going to the 1330 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 1: NBA Championship. By the way, hey, the Lakers maybe the 1331 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 1: greatest organization in all of basketballtball, the Lakers that they are. Yeah, 1332 01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 1: here we go. Question number two. Thoughts on Lamar murray 1333 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 1: comments about other teams knowing their place. Now, I've walked up. 1334 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 1: I've been a player, and I've walked up to the line, 1335 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 1: and I've been a quarterback. I was varsity, you know, 1336 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 1: Colver City High School, and there on our plays and 1337 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: if you're better, you just run him and you beat him. 1338 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: Is that a real thing? Paul warreant, all right, So 1339 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna add some color to this. Okay. 1340 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: So Lamar Jackson Baltimore quarterback and Greg Roman their offensive coordinator. 1341 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 1: He used to be for the forty nine ers, who, 1342 01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 1: by the way, it is despised up here because of 1343 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: one thing he did on Christmas Eve when they beat us. 1344 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, six years ago, seven years go thank 1345 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,880 Speaker 1: you twenty eleven. And he ran after they beat us 1346 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: in the last second, he said, Mary blanking Christmas and 1347 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 1: Danny O'Neil ur Verio Daniel, who was the bet the 1348 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 1: pool reporter UH chased after him held the elevator doors 1349 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 1: open before he get down. He said, who said that? 1350 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 1: And he cowered. There's more to this story. We'll do 1351 01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 1: it in another time. Wow. But anyway, so Lamar Jackson says, 1352 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 1: they're calling out our plays, and Greg Roman answered like, well, 1353 01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,439 Speaker 1: it's kind of the norm. I mean to chess match. 1354 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 1: They know what we're doing. We know what they're doing. 1355 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: It's we know our statistics. First of all, that is 1356 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 1: frustrating because you're up with the line of scrimmage, they're 1357 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 1: calling you out. Particularly they're stopping you, and you as 1358 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you might say lead left and keep a 1359 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,160 Speaker 1: bootleg just to prove a point, which rarely works out. Um, 1360 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 1: My point is on this there's we're watching film all days, coaches, 1361 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 1: and we're feeding all that information to the players. The 1362 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: one thing I know is if I know exactly what 1363 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna do every time you line up in a formation, 1364 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,280 Speaker 1: I'm not letting you know. I know. Yeah, I'm just 1365 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: gonna stop it. And in this case, they're calling out 1366 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 1: plays out. They're gonna run a travel, but watch out 1367 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,640 Speaker 1: for the bootleg and He's probably was frustrated they were 1368 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,680 Speaker 1: stopping them, but not until he's saying it. Then they 1369 01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: must be calling up the right play. Yeah, guess what 1370 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,519 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. Guess what? Hey, Hey, they're watch the pass. Hey, 1371 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,600 Speaker 1: wat's the run that covered that got them both. But 1372 01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: now if he is, they're all saying, hey, watch the 1373 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 1: bootleg or the draw. And maybe in this situation that 1374 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,479 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the time in this formation and this 1375 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: part that that's the case. It's usually rarely one hundred 1376 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 1: percent because everybody self scouts each other. And great Roman, 1377 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 1: I thought he was the answer is righting because to 1378 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,680 Speaker 1: chess match they do that. I thought Lamar probably overreacted. 1379 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,280 Speaker 1: More importantly, to me, he called out his offensive coordinator 1380 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 1: in front of the public. Were too simple. Everybody knows 1381 01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 1: that we're doing. It's your fault, not mine. I have 1382 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 1: problems with him, Yeah, I have problems with him calling 1383 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 1: out his offensive coordinator. It's family business. If you have issues, 1384 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 1: you talk to him behind scenes in the locker room, 1385 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: in the meeting room. You don't go out to ESPN 1386 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 1: and everyone else. We can blow this thing up and 1387 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 1: talk about it on Hawks Live. Why do you think 1388 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 1: they do that is that new? It's a generation? Is 1389 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: that a millennial thing? Is that money? Is that power? 1390 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's it's a millennial thing. 1391 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,680 Speaker 1: But would you just don't want to take the blame? No, 1392 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 1: But so you're in high school or college, let's say 1393 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: you're or back at Washington State. She probably could have been, um, 1394 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,320 Speaker 1: thank you? Would you would you have called out a coach? No? Never? 1395 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I mean, does thatdie? Never? If I if I'm calling 1396 01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 1: out a coach, is at my house with three or 1397 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 1: four of my guys and we all play ball, and 1398 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,400 Speaker 1: we're like, what the heck was coach thinking? And I'm 1399 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: afraid I'm not exactly who's gonna leak this information. I'm 1400 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,880 Speaker 1: not doing it to the public. Lamar's wrong for that, 1401 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 1: all right? Next for you, Should the Seahawks still be 1402 01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:30,519 Speaker 1: the favorite in the MC West despite their struggling defense? 1403 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 1: Paul Moore? This is the worst defense in NFL history, apparently. 1404 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,400 Speaker 1: Should they still be the favorites? Yes, they should be. 1405 01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 1: And the reason number one reason why we have the 1406 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 1: number one quarterback in the NFL. I still believe that 1407 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,679 Speaker 1: in by far in the NFC West goth No Murray 1408 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:52,240 Speaker 1: not quite ready but he's getting there. And Garoppolo, whoever, Murray, 1409 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,400 Speaker 1: I don't even know who, Mullens, whoever? They got it 1410 01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: to their quarterback, not even chance. But here's here's a 1411 01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 1: I think they can lose this week. I think we 1412 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,639 Speaker 1: can go six and three, loose three of our last 1413 01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 1: four games, and I think we run the table. I 1414 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 1: think we finished at worst twelve and four this year. 1415 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: We've got the Jets, Philadelphia, the Giants and Washington four 1416 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 1: games in a row, then San Francisco. That's five games. 1417 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 1: Right now. We got six wins, that's eleven. So if 1418 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,839 Speaker 1: we happen to win in Arizona next week on Thursday, 1419 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: which I think we will, and then we win again 1420 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 1: at the end of the year tour against the Rams 1421 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:34,439 Speaker 1: up here, which I think we will, that's twelve thirty 1422 01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,559 Speaker 1: or you know, we're talking twelve thirteen wins. I think 1423 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 1: we could lose this week. I don't think we're quite 1424 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,760 Speaker 1: healthy enough. I think it's a tough matchup for us. 1425 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised if we win. But yes, we should 1426 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: be the favorites, best quarterback and most likely to get 1427 01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 1: most healthy back. This is why I could understand if 1428 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,520 Speaker 1: people didn't think they were the favorites. They've lost. Arizona 1429 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:01,520 Speaker 1: should enough every Yeah, okay, Shouldakota woulda who shouldn't know? Okay, Arizona. 1430 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,439 Speaker 1: Everyone says the Hawks have the best has the best 1431 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. They have the best scoring defense 1432 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: in NFL. Overall, Arizona has the best defense. Offense stats offense, 1433 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm sorry. Offense. They have the best scoring offense. Overall, 1434 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 1: Arizona has the best scoring offense. You look at the Rams. 1435 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,960 Speaker 1: The Rams have the second best defense in the NFL. 1436 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,840 Speaker 1: That's why if they lose this game, that changes things. 1437 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:23,719 Speaker 1: If they win this game, that I feel better about 1438 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 1: in Like, Okay, I still think they're the best team. 1439 01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 1: But the naysayers are gonna look at these little specifics 1440 01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 1: and say, all right, well they have to improve there. 1441 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,560 Speaker 1: If they have to improve there. But you make a 1442 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: good point, after these next two games, they should run 1443 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 1: the table and get it all. You got five games 1444 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,000 Speaker 1: in a row where you should win. If you talk 1445 01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 1: about feeling good about yourself and health is gonna matter. 1446 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 1: There's no question about that. Tough game, come up, tough matchup. 1447 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,320 Speaker 1: It's just a tough matchup. I just feel like we're 1448 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 1: our confidence is lost and more. I just don't think 1449 01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna be healthy enough to maybe pull this one 1450 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: off again. That just got more than anything. But I 1451 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,920 Speaker 1: think we finish at worse twelve and four more than likely. 1452 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,200 Speaker 1: After this game. I think we run the table. Okay, 1453 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 1: if they lose this game, you still think they're this. 1454 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 1: I think we run the table. Maybe one loss, all right, 1455 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 1: and it's just matchups and then we get our confidence back, 1456 01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:19,040 Speaker 1: we get healthy. I think our defense finishes twenty ninth, 1457 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,599 Speaker 1: twenty ninth. You know what if they finished twenty ninth, 1458 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 1: the last teams to win Super Bowl and their defense 1459 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:30,320 Speaker 1: weren't great twenty eleven, the Giants defense ranked twenty eleven, 1460 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: they want a Super Bowl oh nine, New Orleans defense 1461 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: ranked twentieth. They want a Super Bowl, get into the twenties, 1462 01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: and they got a chance a way. So here's what 1463 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 1: I'd love to see is combination. So my combination of 1464 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,719 Speaker 1: if the Seahawks are twenty ninth and we're number one defense, 1465 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:50,160 Speaker 1: to combine thirty right offense defense, I want to know 1466 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 1: the combined that's a new stat thirty or below. Okay, 1467 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,560 Speaker 1: all right, I got you. We'll go find that for me. 1468 01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,240 Speaker 1: All right, well this is live Michael Bamas, Paul Moyer X. 1469 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: We'll wrap this thing up and give you our finals 1470 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:06,559 Speaker 1: thoughts erre on Hawks Splove Hawks Slive every Thursday from 1471 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,280 Speaker 1: seven to nine, live on air on seven Tenny ESPN Seattle. 1472 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:15,000 Speaker 1: Michael Bumpas Paul More.

I was close, man. 1479 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: I used to play this song in college driving back 1480 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: home from Arizona State to Orange County that was. And 1481 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,920 Speaker 1: then when I got to the NFL and I would 1482 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: drive after the season down it was bon Jovi living 1483 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 1: on a prayer? Hey what what? What type of car 1484 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,760 Speaker 1: did you have driving home from from a state my 1485 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 1: mom and dad. I had a Pinto in high school, 1486 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: but when I left there were some things on Pinto's 1487 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 1: blowing up or something from behind with the gas tank, 1488 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,880 Speaker 1: and so my mom let me drive their mock one 1489 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:16,400 Speaker 1: Mustang to college, and I said, I'm not giving it back, 1490 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,160 Speaker 1: So I kept that and then I got in the NFL. 1491 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,640 Speaker 1: In my first car, I think I had like a 1492 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:25,000 Speaker 1: cheap cherokeere actually had actually had a dots in two 1493 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 1: eighty z X with the T top pulled, the T 1494 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 1: top up, white with maroon interior, and it was the 1495 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: first car that had digital miles per hour, so it 1496 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:43,639 Speaker 1: said you were going eighty five, but then it stopped. 1497 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,760 Speaker 1: It wouldn't let you know if you were going one 1498 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 1: hundred and five. This would be important because when I 1499 01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:52,280 Speaker 1: was coming back from Cheni in nineteen eighty four, Kurt 1500 01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 1: Warner and I were racing each other and I was 1501 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,040 Speaker 1: going I found out one hundred and five because the 1502 01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 1: cop pulled me over and he said, you were going 1503 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 1: one hundred and five, and I said, well, my thing 1504 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 1: said eighty five. He goes no, So he pulled Kurt 1505 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: over first, and then I slowed down, saw it, and 1506 01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: he pulled. He jumped out of the car and he 1507 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 1: looked at me and he pointed, he goes pull over. 1508 01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,560 Speaker 1: So he got us both, and God bless him. He 1509 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 1: gave us a ticket for like fifteen miles an hour 1510 01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:24,400 Speaker 1: over because otherwise be reckless driving. He said, don't you 1511 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 1: think you're living's dangerous enough? And he said, I'm not 1512 01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 1: taking you guys to jail. You're being a good teammate there, Paul, 1513 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: because I would have kept going. You know what, I 1514 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,240 Speaker 1: thought about it, kept going. He was my roommate, my 1515 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: best buddy. So you know what. They didn't have cell 1516 01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: phones back then. Paul's like, you know what, I gotta 1517 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 1: pull over, not for a few more, I gotta pull over. 1518 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,120 Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk about these rams now, Paul. When 1519 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 1: I look at these rams offensively, yeah, they're getting They're 1520 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,519 Speaker 1: going to get in tight formations, yep, because it's easier 1521 01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 1: for them to set the edge. They like the jet sweeps. 1522 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: They have a good running back in Darrel Henderson four 1523 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 1: hundred fifty seven yards two touchdowns this year. They have 1524 01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown also in the backfield Cooper Cup who I 1525 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 1: feel like it is one of the most underrated receivers 1526 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,839 Speaker 1: in the league. Great route runner, a lot of twelve personnel. 1527 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,479 Speaker 1: They're gonna pack it in, they're gonna spread it out. 1528 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 1: At the same time, they only allowed eight first downs 1529 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 1: versus Miami eight first downs, first matter. Now, the Hawks 1530 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: have a better quarterback than the guy they have over there. 1531 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,679 Speaker 1: They got a rookie, they had his lumps and bruises. 1532 01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 1: And then I look on the defensive side. I see 1533 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, who is a man amongst boys. I mean, 1534 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: he might be the most dangerous player in the NFL 1535 01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:38,040 Speaker 1: right now. On defensive things that he does, Paul unconventional. 1536 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: I saw him rush the offensive a guard, jump up 1537 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 1: in the air and slap his hands down. You never 1538 01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,320 Speaker 1: leave your feet in this game, Paul, you never leave 1539 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,120 Speaker 1: your feet. He jumps up, slap his hands down, dips 1540 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 1: and rip gets to the quarterback. I go, no one 1541 01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,280 Speaker 1: in this league can do that. He's the only guy 1542 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,880 Speaker 1: who can pull that off. And then look at Jalen Ramsey. 1543 01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,479 Speaker 1: He doesn't have a lot of picks, but he's around 1544 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 1: the football. He's a ball hawk. I look at this 1545 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,519 Speaker 1: team and I'm concerned, especially after the week that the 1546 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 1: Hawks had against the Bills. I see these guys on defense, 1547 01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,600 Speaker 1: I see this offense. If Jared Golf is able to 1548 01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,200 Speaker 1: sit back there, pat the ball three or four times 1549 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,639 Speaker 1: and let it go, He's gonna eat it up something 1550 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,240 Speaker 1: tells me the Hawks are not going to allow him 1551 01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: to do that. Tough matchup for us, and we'll talk offensively, 1552 01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: they run zone routes that are tough for what we 1553 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,320 Speaker 1: do defensively, and it's been that way for a few years. 1554 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 1: Miami said, hey, we're coming after. Yeah, we're gonna do 1555 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,599 Speaker 1: a bunch of zone blitzes, but we're gonna challenge everything 1556 01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: you do. If we're in a zone, we're challenging, and 1557 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 1: we're pressing, we're over, we're hard over the top. Were 1558 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 1: the Miami the way they spot I woon't even say 1559 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: they spotted up. When they drop, they drop quick. They 1560 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 1: settle eight to ten yards, and so if there is 1561 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,720 Speaker 1: a crossrom route, they're immediately coming downhill defensively and making 1562 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,759 Speaker 1: that tackle. You cannot be backpedaling. When the quarterbacks throwing 1563 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 1: the football by time change direction, that's three steps they'll 1564 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 1: split you. And that's where yards after catch And this 1565 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 1: is where I get worried. A year ago Rams were 1566 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,640 Speaker 1: number one in yards after catch. This year that I 1567 01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,800 Speaker 1: think their third or fourth, I can't remember exactly. I 1568 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 1: want to say their fourth. After last week, we're middle 1569 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 1: of the pack. I was actually surprised. Defensively, we were 1570 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,600 Speaker 1: middle of the pack because last week we gave up 1571 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:23,760 Speaker 1: so many yards after they caught the ball, and a 1572 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: lot of it is them running across the route, just 1573 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 1: catching the ball five ten yards and then splitting it 1574 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 1: and going twenty twenty five yards. We had a couple 1575 01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,760 Speaker 1: early on just some wide routes, swing routes with running backs. 1576 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 1: You know it should be nothing and they're getting twenty yards. 1577 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,960 Speaker 1: That worries me if we don't get pressure on them, 1578 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: because that's been our weakness along the way. I gotta 1579 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 1: feel him. We're going to shore that up a little bit. 1580 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: And if Gough plays the way he did against Miami, 1581 01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,680 Speaker 1: he was god awful. I mean again, I brought up 1582 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't know where the sun sets and rises. That 1583 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:57,479 Speaker 1: was on Hard Knocks when they said do you know 1584 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,920 Speaker 1: where the sun sets? And he goes he literally didn't know. 1585 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: The guy that went to cal which that just discredits 1586 01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: their college, and he didn't know where it rose and set, 1587 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,400 Speaker 1: which I thought was really interesting. State. Look, at least 1588 01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 1: do we know that it sets in the west? Buddy? 1589 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: Okay Um. Defensively, they got the best player in the game, 1590 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, and we had Damian Lewis hunt earlier today. 1591 01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 1: He's excited about this match. He did. He got me 1592 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: fired up too. They're good. They got good corners they've 1593 01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: got I mean, they got a pretty good secondary. I 1594 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 1: mean they got rap I know you don't love him 1595 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 1: because he went to university Jalen Ramsey is you know 1596 01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,040 Speaker 1: he's legit. I think they got a couple of linebackers 1597 01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,639 Speaker 1: that come after you. They got a new defensive coordinator, 1598 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 1: so a different scheme the Seahawks haven't seen. It's gonna 1599 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,280 Speaker 1: be a really tough matchup. Well, i'd be surprised we 1600 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,439 Speaker 1: played the best game we've played all year. No, but 1601 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised we lose this game and run 1602 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 1: the table. I'm saying twelve and four, thirteen and three. 1603 01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,680 Speaker 1: I think the injuries is going to be tough for 1604 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 1: us to battle this week. But you know what, what 1605 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 1: are we thirty eight and eight, thirty six and eight 1606 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. We're gonna find that here in a second 1607 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:15,000 Speaker 1: from we are thirty eight in ninety two eight. Sorry 1608 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 1: after a loss with Russell Wilson. I feel good the 1609 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 1: way we bounced back. We've lost two of our last three, 1610 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,880 Speaker 1: though I'm not sure how good the Rams. Here. Here 1611 01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 1: are the Rams wins. The Rams have beat Dallas not good, 1612 01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: Philadelphia not good, the Giants horrible, the Redskins horrible. They 1613 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:37,120 Speaker 1: beat Chicago in just an ugly game. We know Chicago 1614 01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,880 Speaker 1: has no offense twenty four to ten. I don't know 1615 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,720 Speaker 1: who they are. Yeah, but I don't know who we 1616 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 1: are either, because guess what our best win right now 1617 01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 1: is against Miami. It's turned out to be a pretty 1618 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:47,920 Speaker 1: good team. They're now five and three, they've won four 1619 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 1: in a row, So I don't know what we are. Um, 1620 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:52,599 Speaker 1: I think this is a game that will be interesting. 1621 01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 1: If we win or lose does not affect the season. 1622 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: We need to get healthy. We're gonna finish twelve and 1623 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 1: four thirteen three four. It's think offensive. This team needs 1624 01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 1: to take a note from the Los Angeles Rams and 1625 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:08,000 Speaker 1: do jet sweeps. Give this defense, these linebackers something to 1626 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,479 Speaker 1: think about. Give Tyler Locke at the Rock last year, 1627 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 1: I want to say Tyler Lockett got at least three 1628 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 1: to five jet sweeps in his hands and make these 1629 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:20,160 Speaker 1: linebackers have to identify what they're looking at. And earlier 1630 01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:22,080 Speaker 1: in the last game they did the jet sweets and 1631 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:24,400 Speaker 1: it worked out. DJ Dallas found some gaps. He did 1632 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 1: what he had to do. Again, I'm gonna say it 1633 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,800 Speaker 1: again like I said last week, this run game doesn't 1634 01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,760 Speaker 1: need to be super powerful. They just need to pick 1635 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,000 Speaker 1: up key first downs. That's all. The third and short 1636 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 1: they need to pick it up. You gotta be able 1637 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,160 Speaker 1: to give it to DJ Dallas, Travis Homer, whoever's available, 1638 01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,320 Speaker 1: and allow them to pick up first downs. And then, please, 1639 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 1: when there's a boot, there's a rollout, just go play side. 1640 01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Just go play side and make them think about it, 1641 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,560 Speaker 1: because that's gonna open up the backside. Everyone's ready for 1642 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,080 Speaker 1: the backside DK post post corner dig. They're ready for that. Now. 1643 01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,560 Speaker 1: Now make them think about the play side stuff and 1644 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,560 Speaker 1: get them work in that way. This football team is 1645 01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:01,000 Speaker 1: still a good football team. They're batting injuries. Russell Wilson 1646 01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 1: is forcing the issue at this point that you had 1647 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:07,280 Speaker 1: a corner who was hurt since the first snap. Make 1648 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,240 Speaker 1: some adjustments, put some guys in there. I'm interested to 1649 01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,360 Speaker 1: see what personnel shows up when it's time to go 1650 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Tough matchup, but it's a copy of Gap League. 1651 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 1: We know that, right and I mean, people have success 1652 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:23,519 Speaker 1: and they're gonna do the same thing. We've seen it 1653 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 1: a little bit from Arizona, I say a little a 1654 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: little bit from Buffalo. People say, oh, people are coming 1655 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 1: free all time. Another not they're not. In batter of fact, 1656 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 1: there are some things we showed earlier. That great pickup, 1657 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,639 Speaker 1: but it's that the way to stop this zone blitz 1658 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: seven guys on the line of scrimmage. It's the quick screen. 1659 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 1: It's the let's just stay on play side, get the 1660 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 1: ball at quick fly sweeps, things like that. I want 1661 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:51,720 Speaker 1: to see the first series from the Rams because their 1662 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 1: last game against the Dolphins two weeks ago, they came 1663 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,519 Speaker 1: out and established a run. I believe three out of 1664 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 1: their first like five plays were run plays. Are they 1665 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 1: going to look at the him and say, all right, guys, 1666 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:04,519 Speaker 1: spread them out, let's toss this thing around because these 1667 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,760 Speaker 1: guys don't know how to defend it. Here's a nice thing. 1668 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 1: And then twelve, I know you've been dogging. We got 1669 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 1: a great coach and stuff. Yep, we do. And it's 1670 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 1: it's been tough defensively. And then again, sometime I've been 1671 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: there where you just you're scrambling trying to put band 1672 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,840 Speaker 1: aids on wounds. Um, they're gonna figure this out. We 1673 01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 1: got talent. You gotta trust the process and I believe 1674 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 1: in that. So don't don't be surprised. Big bounce back 1675 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,880 Speaker 1: this week, Big bounce back, all right, Paul Man, All 1676 01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 1: is awesome getting with you on a Thursday Highlight of 1677 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,599 Speaker 1: My Week special.
