1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus after ten yard lives. Second to day three

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: wide receivers now in motion, has Pumpas left or right,

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Julius Jones a single setback Matt Pumpfe's looking at the

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: goal line. He throws it into the end zone. Touchdown Seahawks.

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: It's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the end zone.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: Our ten yard touchdown reception for Pampas and the kid

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: out of Washington State has found himself a place on

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. One of twelve.

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: This is Michael Bumps and this is Hawk Talk Recab edition.

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: The Seahawks fall to the Rams twenty three to six,

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: being not the result that we won a NASA chobe.

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: But before we get into everything, we're gonna start it

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: off like we usually do on a recab edition, going

15
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: into trenches with Ray Roberts. It's time to go inside

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: the trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts. Big Ray, what's

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: going on there? I'm just killing man, trying to uh

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: recover from that from that loss yesterday. Comfort laws. Aren't

19
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: we all first impressions when you think about this Seahawks

20
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: versus the Rams game, what's the first thing that comes

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: to mind? The first thing that comes to mind for me,

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: it's just just joint it. It just it just really

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: felt like there was no connectivity between the run game

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and the pass game and the defense with the pass

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: rush and the past detection or descending the run, like

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: every nothing just seemed to mess well. Even though I

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: think the defense made some improvements, it just felt like,

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: uh like, I felt like I left the game with

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of lego pieces on the ground and they

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: and they used to be like a ship or something,

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and now there it's just all falling apart. They're just

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: different pieces on the ground. I'm trying not to step on.

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I felt like last night when

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: I got home. I feel I feel you. Well, let's

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about the matchup that I guess we were

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: looking at Kyle Philli versus Aaron Donald, the most dangerous

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: man in the NFL. How do you think he did

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: against that guy? You know, I think just in general,

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line, uh did okay? If you look at

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: his stat line, Uh, he only had two quarterback hits

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: that was his That was his stat for the entire game,

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: although there were times where he got pressure, but he

43
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: wasn't getting pressure in a way that that he was

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: dominating the game. And I went back last night and

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: watched like the first quarter and a half or so

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: of the game, just ought to see where he was.

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: And they actually moved him around between over the center

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: and over both guards, and so I think they were

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: trying to work the rookie a little bit. They were

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: trying to work Kyle Fuller a little bit and isolate

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: him with Aaron Donald. And then they were also, uh,

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, trying to go at uh your potty because

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: of you know, just probably athletically, I think Prince Sprinth wise,

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: your potty matched up well, but athletically Aaron Donald had

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: to advantage. And from what I saw just in that

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: quarter and a half, so I mean, obviously you're not

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect when you're blocking that dude, But but

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: they were doing a good enough job against him that

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: that you didn't feel like he was taken over and

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: dominate the whole game. All right. Now, the last three games,

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: four games have been a struggle when it comes to

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: the run game. Are we finally to a point where

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: people are going are starting to realize it's the importance

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: of having a guy like Chris Carson in the backfield. Absolutely.

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: I think some of the decisions that are made are

66
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: not made in the run game has a lot to

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: do with Chris Carson. I think also they're missing the

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: passing elements of Chris Carson in the office because he

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: was you know, I think going into the season they

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: wanted to have like fifty targets to solder Chris Carson,

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: and they started out really well with using mixing him

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: up in the run game and screen game and uh,

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, getting him out into some routes and things

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: like that. There's other talents and gifts that he brings

75
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: to the table, but he also just brings like the

76
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: attitude and the confidence in the of the coaching staff that,

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: uh that they can do some different things in the

78
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: run game. And so as much as we'd like to

79
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: see uh this offense be aggressive with the ball and

80
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: scoring a bunch of points and things like that, I

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: think it has been to the detriment of the defense

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: for a struggling defense. On top of that, so I

83
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: think that there has to be if they can get

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. As soon as they can get either Chris

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Carson or Carlos hide back, I think it'll start to

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: stabilize the offense again. And then and then I think

87
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll either rely not rely on it, but mixed

88
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: in the running game and the passing game and blend

89
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: them together, versus saying, hey, we're a passing football team,

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: and then every now and again, we're gonna, you know,

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball. I think Denny O'Neill did

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: a good job last night, you know, and his explanation

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: of it of back in the day us most of

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: the running team and then when you threw the ball,

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: you had to do damage when you're throwing the ball,

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: and now it's the reverse where uh, we're a throwing

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: team and and those opportunities when you run the ball,

98
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do damage. And I

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: think the best chance to do that is with Chris Carson.

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: Now you talk about throwing the football, Obviously the Hawks

101
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: aren't throwing the football a lot more, and because of that,

102
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Russell has been turning the ball over a lot more.

103
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: The last two or three weeks has been rough on him.

104
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: What are you seeing out of him? Are the corrections

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: that need to be made. I'm talking about Russells. Yeah,

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: so when when I look at Russell Lakes, it's weird

107
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: because sometimes you just want him to take the yard. Issh,

108
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: that's there. So that may be the dump down to

109
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: the tight end and maybe the swing route to the

110
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: to the to the running back or maybe hey, like

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: everyone's we're trying to push the ball down the field

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: and that's a lot of space between me and the

113
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: next defender. Let me just go get those eight or

114
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: nine or ten yards and just keep the change moving. Uh.

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: And it's and it's really hard to ask Russell to

116
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: do that because he's so gifted it making place down

117
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the field. But I think at this point, just to

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: stabilize the offense, not that you're saying not to be

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: aggressive with the ball and all that, but you have

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: to start taking what's there to keep the offense, you know,

121
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: ahead of the change, but then also give your defense

122
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity to not be able to field so much,

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: keep the other offense off the field like those types

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: of things. And so I, you know, I have faith

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: and trust and rust that when he says that he's

126
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: going to make the right corrections, and he trust in

127
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: his process. His process has proven to be a very

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: good one and to be able to get him to

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: where he is in his life and in his career.

130
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: So I trust that he's going to make the necessary things,

131
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: the necessary changes to get the offense back on track

132
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: for from his perspective. And then I think to help that,

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's to lean on that offensive line in

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: the run game more. All right, big game coming up

135
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: on Thursday, Ray Arizona beats the Buffalo Bills in a

136
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: miracle play. To sell it, the last time the Hawks played,

137
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: Arizona got the best of them. One is how important

138
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: is this game? And two what do the Hawks need

139
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: to do to make sure they do not go on

140
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: three in their last three? Well, you know, we're having

141
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: this discussion last night on the on the post game show,

142
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: and uh, Paul Moyer was saying like, hey, you know,

143
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: like we're going into this game injured. They are not

144
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: as injured. Um, they're coming off a big, you know win,

145
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: and this may just have to do a loss that

146
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: we take, but we still have a chance to win.

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, twelve of you know, twelve games, twelve of

148
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: thirteen games going down to stretch. And so the only thing,

149
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the only problem I would have what that methodology is that, Um,

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: then that would mean that you're gonna you're you're willing

151
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: to lose three games in the row. And to me,

152
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: that says something that that says something else to the

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: team if they can't come out of here with a win, uh,

154
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and then they're looking at a three game losing streak

155
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: when they started the season with a six games winning streaks,

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I think that says something. I think that would have

157
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: something to do with the team, just from a mental perspective,

158
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: from a confidence perspective, from a even a confidence into

159
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: who we are and what we're doing. So it may

160
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: force people to then start trying to do things outside

161
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: of their abilities and capabilities and make the thing worse.

162
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: So I think it's important, just from a mental approach

163
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: and from a psychological approach with the team that they

164
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: find a way to win this game. It doesn't have

165
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: to be you know, Russell throwing the ball fifty times

166
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: or the defense shutting everything down. Just win the football game.

167
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I think they just they just need to win a

168
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: football game. And it doesn't have to look pretty, it

169
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to have the best stats in the world.

170
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: The only stat they need to have is one more

171
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: point in Arizona when when the clock hits the triple zeros. Well,

172
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: I see the big Ray. The plus side is the

173
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: Hawks are undefeated at home, so let's make sure they

174
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: keep that going. Like always, Big Homing, I appreciate your time, Man,

175
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, Man. And you know, I feel like,

176
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: you know, some people are kind of panicking it a

177
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: little bit around the program, but I don't think there's

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: any program panic. And Russell or Pete. Obviously there's concerned,

179
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: but there's not panic. Those are two different things, and

180
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: so I think they'll have a I think they'll start

181
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: to figure it out. It may not look like they're

182
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: figuring it out on Thursday, but I think they'll get

183
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: to figured out and finish the season. Stroll all you

184
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: hear from Big Raid folks, don't pat it. It's all

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: good things. Ray, All right, big dope, All right, NASA,

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: let's break this thing down. What happened? See what had happened?

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: At first? What had happened was unhard. What had happened

188
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: was oh my goodness. Well, the Seahawks lost their second

189
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: consecutive game in a Row dropping a game to the

190
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: Rams twenty three to sixteen. This is just a ninth

191
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: time in Russell Wilson's career the Seahawks have lost consecutive games.

192
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Bump and man. I'll just start with this, man, The

193
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Seahawks defense has taken a lot of heat this year,

194
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: a ton. We're talking about them every single week, and

195
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: sometimes it was deserved. But last night or yesterday when

196
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks played the Rams, they absolutely did not lose because

197
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: of this defense. That was not the reason why the

198
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: losses football game. I mean, you look at the game

199
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: started this defense. Yes, they allowed two hundred fourteen yards

200
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: in the first half, and it took them while to

201
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: get going golf, and the Rams kind of went up

202
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: and down the field in the first couple of drives

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: and pretty much all those yards you're on two drives.

204
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: And after that second half the seas defense allow one

205
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards rest of the game and most

206
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: importantly just six just six points, one touchdown drive and

207
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: four three straight punts. So I'm gonna try to spin

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: it positive to start as we look back at this game,

209
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: because while the defense wasn't perfect, it was one of

210
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: their better games. Holding the Ramps, so only twenty three points,

211
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: and if old the team twenty two points, you're assuming

212
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: the Seahawks were score a lot more than that. And

213
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: when the football games out, it was really tough to

214
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: see that. Yesterday Now to me, it was the best

215
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 1: game of the year for this defense. You held the

216
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: teams to twenty three points under four hundred yards for

217
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: the first time all season. I want to believe the

218
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: only touchdown they got in the second half was off

219
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: of a bogus pass an appearance called DJ Reid. I

220
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: don't know how else he's supposed to play that football.

221
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: But the defense got better. The story is when they

222
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: don't win the turnover battle. This team doesn't win football games,

223
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: and they didn't win the turnover battle. Russell throws a

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: couple of picks, there's a fumble. It's reminiscent of last week.

225
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: We sat here and say, there's no way Russell's gonna

226
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: have a game like he had last week. Wasn't as bad,

227
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: but didn't take care of the football. It all has

228
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: to come together at the same time. And I'm being

229
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: optimistic and I think it's getting closer. You still have

230
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: three sacks against the Rams, the Rams had allowed ten

231
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: texts coming into this game. Jamal Adams had two and

232
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: I believe Puna or someone else had half the other one,

233
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: So there's a positive there. Offensively, we saw something we

234
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen all this year. This is the first time

235
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: the Hawks were held under twenty seven points, the first time.

236
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: If the Hawks just play a regular game, and regular

237
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks game, nothing spectacled, just what they've been doing. They

238
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: win this football game. After scoring a TV on the

239
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: opening drive. The rest of the seall drives were punt,

240
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: field goal, interception, field goal, pump pump, fumble, interception, field goal.

241
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: That don't look like se'all football. No, it's not good enough,

242
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: and it's it's really weird to see because this offense

243
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: is coming into the game was the number one scoring

244
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: office the NFL, averaging thirty four points a game, and

245
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: even games where they did turn the ball over, they'll

246
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: put up big numbers on offense. Um and like you said,

247
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: it's it's eternal battle um Pete. Carroll preaches it's all

248
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: about the football, and unfortunately this team has not looked

249
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: like themselves. Uncharacteristic seven turnovers on offense the past two weeks.

250
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: That's it's not a recipe for winning football games. Yep,

251
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: not the recipe and not great in the red zone.

252
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: That's something else that the Hawks are good at. They're

253
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: typically one of the best teams in the red zone.

254
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: I believe they were one for three in the red

255
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: zone in this game. You get down there, you gotta

256
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: get yourself some points. I now the offense in rack

257
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: up over three hundred yards and told offense seven for

258
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: fourteen on third down fifty percent. You kind of want

259
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: to be around sixty percent. But that's better than than

260
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: what we've seen. Um Now, let's talk about that fourth down. Goodness,

261
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: it's tearing Pete up and I'm I'm gonna go to

262
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: bat for Pete. I've seen this. Okay for the nitch,

263
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: say hey, just do a quarterback sneak. Last week Russell

264
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: got a quarterback sneak first time for a toun show.

265
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Let's not forget you have Kyle Fuller, who's agreeing center

266
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: got Aaron don't know who's gonna be lining up in

267
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: one of the A gaps. They're gonna walk a linebacker

268
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: down and he's sinking ahead. Let's pump the ball, make

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: them go eighty yards to get this touchdown. If they don't,

270
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: if they go for they don't get it, they essentially

271
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: gave them the ball on the forty. Like Pete Carroll said,

272
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: that's a turnover. I would have went for it, But

273
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: I understand why Pete didn't go for Oh, no question

274
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: about it. And honestly, I have no idea why this

275
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: became such a huge talking point as if it costs

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: the Seahawks a football game. When we were listening to

277
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: his press conference yesterday, there's about four or five questions

278
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: in a row trying to essentially asking the same question,

279
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: just twisting their words differently. Here's the deal. Let's look

280
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: at the situation. Okay, the score was thirteen to seventeen Rams. Okay,

281
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: there's thirteen minutes in fourteen seconds remaining in the third quarter.

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: Now this was three minutes. If there's three minutes left

283
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: in the game, I can see maybe. Okay, the defense,

284
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: despite how they've played this year, had forced a fumble

285
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: in a punt on the previous two Rams possessions. The

286
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: ball was on the seahawks own four to two yard line,

287
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: and like Pete said this morning, if you don't get

288
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: it there, that is a turnover. Let's turnover and okay,

289
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: and then people will be doing the opposite thing and

290
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: they would be crushing Pete. If they went and scored

291
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: two plays later, they'd be like, what are you doing?

292
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Blah blah blah. So it's

293
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: just I don't understand it. And the rams that was

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: they score a touchdown on that drive, like we mentioned earlier,

295
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: aided by a nonsense past interference penalty, and that was

296
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: the only score they got in the entire second half.

297
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: I just don't understand. It was a one score game

298
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: literally thirteen minutes in the third quarter. It makes no sense.

299
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: And the fact that yes, so he challenged the spot, right,

300
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: people don't know all the other things going around, Like

301
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned, we know where Aaron Donald's gonna line up.

302
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller played with a high ankle sprain. He was

303
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: just gutting his way through the game. So maybe Pete

304
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Carroll said, took that into account and saying, hmm, maybe

305
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: our starting center who's gutting it through with a high

306
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: ankle sprain is not gonna move Aaron Donald off the

307
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: spot and we might not get this first down. There's

308
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: one and then the other thing too, is like teams

309
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: do this all the time. You come back out on

310
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: the field, say hey, we're not going to run the play,

311
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: but let's just see if they jump. Maybe they give

312
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: us a bone, right, And now people are like, why

313
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: would they do that, Like, there's just go for you

314
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: already lost your time. I just I can't. Honestly, I bump.

315
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm okay with people thinking like, hey, man,

316
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: go for it, like you wanting Pete to be aggressive there.

317
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But people are around here are acting,

318
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: like Danny said this perfectly on the postgame show last night,

319
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: that Pete Carroll committed some coaching malpractice by not going

320
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: for it there. I mean, it's unbelievable. No, definitely not

321
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: the reason they lost the game. I know some twelves

322
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: are gonna disagree with me on that, but that's that's facts,

323
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: and you're never gonna convince me otherwise. The Seahawks lost

324
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: the game for a lot of reasons, and that decision

325
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it. Na I had nothing

326
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: to do with it. This is this is football. I've

327
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: seen this scenario a thousand times in my fifteen twenty

328
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: years of covering them playing football. Fourth and inches, you're

329
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: in your own territory, make them work, get the whole field,

330
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: You bring your offense out, you try to get them

331
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: to jump. Maybe they do. You get three yards. It's

332
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: almost like a dance that I've seen before. I know

333
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: this routine. I've seen this routine before. It's a standard

334
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: coaching right here. So people who are who are going

335
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: after Pete one, I don't really think you understand football.

336
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: I just don't think like this is this is like

337
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: you said, like Danny said, he didn't do any mouth practice.

338
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: This is a standard procedure when it comes to coaching. Now,

339
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: rolling the dice would be going for it and quarterback

340
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: sneaking it, and then, like you said, if he doesn't

341
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: get it, everyone's mad Pete what he's doing. He'll never

342
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: be right to everyone in that situation. But guys who

343
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: will play the game and coach the game, they understand

344
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: what went down. Too much time on the clock, make

345
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: these guys march down the field, and if they didn't

346
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: get a PI call, they probably would have stopped him.

347
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: And Pete curls of genius. So hush the mouth. Let's

348
00:16:45,680 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: move on to playmakers. Playmakers, all right, First playmaker Alex Collins,

349
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the new guy on the block, had eleven carros for

350
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: four y three yards and one touchdown, one reception for

351
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: four yards. You look at the eleven carress for forty

352
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: three and you don't think it's much, but it felt

353
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: like when the ball was in his hands there was

354
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: potential for a big run and he brought a feeling

355
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: to that run game that I haven't felt since Chris

356
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Carson hasn't been back there. It wasn't spectacled, but it

357
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: did sport touchdown. He did get that game going that

358
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: first series. Alice Collins was one of the guys who

359
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: set the tone for this football team. Yeah, no question

360
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: about it. And it's good to see Alice Collins come back.

361
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, we drafted him in twenty sixteen and he

362
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: went off to Baltimore had a thousand yards season, and

363
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: good to see him come back and kind of get

364
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: his footweet feet weet and helped his football team. None

365
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: of the running backs that are currently healthy right now

366
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: are played the game the way Chris Carson plays the game.

367
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: Those are all good football players, and it was good

368
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: to see what I saw from Alex Collins was a

369
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: little bit more I don't know, physicality, is the right word.

370
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: It just a little more downhill north south, and I

371
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: like where he's running his feet. So it's really good

372
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: to see Alice get out there and really helped this

373
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: football team. He looked good, and I love seeing that

374
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: toss play. Shout out on that touchdown. Shout out to

375
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown. Brown took their miclinebacker and put him in

376
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: the end zone as Ac scored. So I love that

377
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: toss action. I love to see those big boys getting

378
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: up front and getting physical. So it was good to

379
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: see Alex Collins get after it. It was it looks

380
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: confident when Alice Collins was running, he looked confident. He

381
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: wasn't secon against himself. Right. Another playmaker, DJ read ten

382
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: tackles one tackle for loss, one fumble recovery, a kick

383
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: off preturner for four to three yards, nine third down

384
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: stop on the screen. We list all these things. I

385
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: heard him talk with Q thirteen post game and he

386
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 1: was just pointing out all the negatives. I could have

387
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: had a pick, I could have done this, I could

388
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: have done that. That's the mentality you want from a

389
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: young guy or anybody who's taken an help. But we

390
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: can't ignore the young man had a decent game. Yeah,

391
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: you know. I mean sometimes sometimes people look at tackles

392
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: from defensive backs and say, well that maybe that's not

393
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: did well. The thing was, he was active in the

394
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: run game. He was where he was supposed to be.

395
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: Number one. I think I think when you look at

396
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: our how our defensive backs have played over the last

397
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: few months or so, I think I think dj Read

398
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: has really helped this football team. Um, a lot of

399
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: twelves didn't know anything about him till two weeks ago,

400
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: and he stepped in and done a nice job. He's

401
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: going to be in the right spot. Um, he stepped in,

402
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: did a really nice job at nicol and then just

403
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: shows his versatility to jump back outside. So love to

404
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: see it. And one thing I didn't know is that

405
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: had no idea his pump or kickoff return ability. That

406
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: was the best kickoff return all season and he saw

407
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: that birth. So it's good to have another weapon back

408
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: there because Travis Hillmer kind of got daged with a

409
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: hand injury. So it's good to see that the Seahawks

410
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: have more weapons. And dj Read is just continuing to

411
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: prove that he's a value member of this football team.

412
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Dj Read, keep acting value to this team, young man,

413
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: next playmaker. Jamal Adam seven tackles to two sacks, a

414
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: force fumble, two tackles for laws, one QB hit um

415
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: and he played on the bad shoulder. Yep. It was

416
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: early two. Was that first series we saw him walk

417
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: into the locker room and we're like, oh man, what

418
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: is it. I thought maybe he reactivated as growing wasn't

419
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: that bum shoulder comes back, has two sacks, a strip sack.

420
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: He's doing what we're paying him to do. He's not

421
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna be an interceptions guy. These causing havoc. His defense

422
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: had the best performance I think they've had all year,

423
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: even with their seven sacks last year, and a lot

424
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: of it is because he's getting after the quarterback. Yeah. No,

425
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: that's what Jamal Adams does. He's one of the best

426
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: boozing football players in the National Football League. And I

427
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: love him down in the box. I love him like

428
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: an extra linebacker. Man. That's I think that's his strength

429
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: and I think he does that really well. And the

430
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: other thing about it, too, was he talked about it

431
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: when he spoke to you guys on Danny and Gallant

432
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: this morning. Was not only is he playing with the

433
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: bum shoulder. When he creates that strip sack. He had

434
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: to go at it with the wrong arm because he

435
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: couldn't lift his other arm up high enough, and he

436
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: still got it done, still got another sack after that.

437
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: So I just love to see the toughness out of

438
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. You know, he's a gamer. He will do

439
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: anything for this football team. So I love his mentality.

440
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: Even if he talked after the game saying we're going

441
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: to be fine, you know, we screwed up. He owns anything,

442
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: he takes responsibility for it. So he's just a leader

443
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: on this football team. And I think with him in

444
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: that rold, things are going to get better. And I

445
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: think we started to see that in the second half.

446
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: Signo Jamal Adams. His post game fits are so West

447
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: Coast hey Man is always looking fresh for show. The

448
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: last playmaker. Kyle Fuller Man Kyle Fuller Aaron Donald, which

449
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: I shouted to the mountaintops to anyone that will listened

450
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: to me, is the best defensive player in the National

451
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: Football League, the best, potentially one of the best defensive

452
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: players of this generation. Let me read you a stat

453
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: line once again. Zero tackles, zero sacks, zero tackles for loss,

454
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: two QB hits and if you look at the numbers

455
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: in pure impact, that's the worst game he's ever played

456
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: against Seattle. So big upsa Kyl Fuller, Aaron Donald wasn't

457
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: over the center one hundred percent. Of course, he moved around.

458
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: He was lined up over the guards, over you, Potty

459
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: and Lewis at different times. But when he was on

460
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller, Tyle Forward did a great job. Again, he

461
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: stepped in, was playing on a high ankle sprain, calling them,

462
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: calling the protections and whatnot, and it's just it's just

463
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: amazing to see a guy that step in against a

464
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: caliber of that defensive line and ball out. And what

465
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: people don't understand is that center is the second quarterback.

466
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: He's calling the box, he's communicating with five guys out there,

467
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: he's relaying calls from Russell Wilson. He has to be

468
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: on point at all times. And then you have one

469
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: of the best defenders of all the time lining up

470
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: over you maybe fifty to sixty percent of the time.

471
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: And big ups of those guards too, they're gonna help them.

472
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: The double teams. It's it's a It takes a village

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: to block Aaron Donald, and that's what we saw. Yes

474
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks loss. It didn't pan out the way that

475
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you wanted to, but there were some bright spots, and

476
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: this offensive line, specifically Kyle Fuller was a bright spot.

477
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: Big up, young man. I assume he's gonna be out

478
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: for a few weeks because of the high ankle sprain.

479
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: You came in, you filled in, you dig your thing.

480
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Good for you, all right, wide receiver round. Not much

481
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: to see here this week? Nos, Yeah, lock it catch

482
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: at sixty six. Freddie looks explosive. Yeah, three for thirty

483
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: seven along to twenty one. If Freddie was active for

484
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: a few weeks and then kind of faded a little bit,

485
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: now he's back. I like seeing Freddie gets him love yea.

486
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: If Freddie looks good, man, I think. I think, especially

487
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: with all the attention to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett,

488
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: David Moore has obviously played super well this year. But

489
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: Freddie looked good yesterday. I love to see him, like

490
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: to see him improving every week. And when you're in

491
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: there and Russ decided to throw you the ball, make

492
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: it happen, because that's just building that chemistry in that

493
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 1: trust and don't give RUSS a reason not to go

494
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: your way. So I'd love to see Freddie Freddie football

495
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: getting after it. I'd like to see it. Greg Golson

496
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: had two for thirty three DK two for twenty eight,

497
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: wasn't targeted in the first half. Pete Carroll said, they

498
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: called his number. They called his number. The players that

499
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: are meant to go for him, But Reeds take you

500
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: off of it. If Jayla Ramsey's playing it perfectly, you

501
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: go off it. If the defense takes away a certain route,

502
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: you go off it. I don't think they said, oh

503
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: my gosh, Danylon Ramsey as owner, we're not going throwing

504
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: the football. It was like, look, they played the perfect

505
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: defense for this call. So sometimes you just have to

506
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: move on to your reas. Yeah, you have guys underneath.

507
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: And honestly, I haven't had a chance to go through

508
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: a coach's film yet. It's not up yet, but I'm

509
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: really interested to see how they played him because I

510
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: think a lot of times when they weren't in man,

511
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: you had a safety of the top or you had

512
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: a linebacker buzzing underneath. So there's different ways to take

513
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: him away and that hopefully we were hoping that would

514
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: open up some other guys. But and there's another one

515
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: on the sideline that would have been a huge catch

516
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: that was just out of his fingertips. And that was

517
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: one that you normally see Russell and DK hook up on.

518
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: So he makes that catch to his statalone. Looks a

519
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: lot different, but it's just one of those days. Man.

520
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: We'll see the rams again and I think we'll be

521
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: better prepared most definitely. DJ Dallas running back, had two

522
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: for twenty three. Two big plays. Was kind of scrambled

523
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: plays too. Russell flicks the ball to him on one.

524
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: He does this Stefan Digg's imitation getting his knees up

525
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: trying to shake dudes. Nice to see him get the rock.

526
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: Homer had three for nineteen, Disley one for sixteen, Demo

527
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: two for sixteen, Hollister one for six, and then Alex

528
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Collins one for four. Lots of names on this statue,

529
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: but not a lot of yards and no touchdowns. I

530
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: expect this to look different this Thursday against Arizona Cardinals.

531
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: But now let's break down a play in the coach's corner.

532
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: All right, this first play, we are gonna look to

533
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: the only player we're gonna look at is Alan's Collins

534
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: thirteen yard touchdown on a run on the opening drive,

535
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: setting the tone at the Rams thirteen Collins stays in

536
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: the backfield, quick tossing him, he goes left side, hitside

537
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: to ten, hit side to five. Touchdown. Seahawks around the

538
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: left hand with a good block by Disley, and Alex

539
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Collins has returned to Seattle to score six with their

540
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: first opportunity. The Seahawks are on the board and they

541
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: lead six to three. Man, I really liked this play design,

542
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: all right. They motioned it Tighten over to the right

543
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: side of the formation. Well, they bring him back to

544
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: be the lead on the toss for Alex Collins. He

545
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: gets out. D K goes flat down the line of

546
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: scrimmage and seals the edge. Boom who's the receiver? Demo

547
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: gets to the second level, makes a block the tight end.

548
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: I believe that's Hollister makes another block, but it's all

549
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: about seven to six. Seventy boy, big boy triple og.

550
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown leaves the charge and drives a grown man

551
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: twelve yards into the end zone. This is the type

552
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: of football we missed not having thirty two back there, Oh,

553
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: no question about it. And you look at Dwayne He's

554
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: he climbs the second level, he makes contact with that

555
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: with that linebacker at the ten yard line and takes

556
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: him for a ride onto his back two yards deep

557
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: in the end zone. And that's the physical stuff you

558
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: love seeing. Like Ray Roberts talked about a ton of

559
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: the pregame show, Drayn Brown has those big arms meant

560
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: for smashing people. Get this man out on the perimeter

561
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: and do work. And it's everybody making their block. It's

562
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: it's Louis sealing a guy. It's Kyle Fuller getting a

563
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: little double team from Fuller and Will Distly getting a

564
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: linebacker taking him out of the play. It's uh Jacob

565
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: Holiso running out trying to cut the fensive back out there.

566
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: So it's just great to see them getting downhill north

567
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: and south. And that's what this football team, that's what

568
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: we've been used to seeing for the past five years

569
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: or so. That's this is what we do. So no

570
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: matter who's back there, I like this kind of action.

571
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: Anytime Duayne Brown can get out on the edge and

572
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: get a full head of team and he's going to

573
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: block linebackers and dbs, it's gonna be a long day,

574
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: long day, and this happened on the opening drive. The

575
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: Rams only gave up seven points on opening drives prior

576
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to this. The Hawks set the tone and say, look,

577
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: we're going down the field. We're gonna get it done.

578
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: Didn't work out in the long run, but it's nice

579
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: to see them come out fast. The last two weeks,

580
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: this offense come out slow. I asked Pete carr Ago,

581
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: is there something you guys are doing different? Pregaming goes Nah,

582
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: it's just focus and execution. That's what it comes down to.

583
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: These are grown men, these are professionals. So nas we're

584
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: not in the greatest formation of football. This week the

585
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: clock just ran out on us an taken by Huntley.

586
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: They're just gonna let the clock wind down, but it's

587
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: not even gonna bother taking that last time out, the

588
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: clock ran out again for the second week in a row.

589
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: Bump Man, It's it's it's tough. I never this formation.

590
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: It just feels uncomfortable because we're just not used to

591
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: We're so spoiled to start the year five and oh

592
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: and then you lost Arizona and then we got to

593
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: figure it out and just just feel this two weeks

594
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: in a row. It's just weird. I don't like it.

595
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't like it at all, but you know, it

596
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: is what it is. It's all about the football. And

597
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: once again, turnovers we're the main difference in the game.

598
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks had three, the Rams had one. Lose turnover battle,

599
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: you lose the game. Yep. If you don't want to

600
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: turn off about it, you're probably gonna lose the game.

601
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: On the bright side of the defense played better in

602
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: the second half. They play better. Only allowed six points.

603
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: We haven't done that in a very long time. That's

604
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: a trophy, So there's a positive. I only allowed six points.

605
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams was a factor again. Two sacks. He's gonna

606
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: lead this team in sacks end of the year. I'm

607
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna call it right now. He's got eight to ten sacks.

608
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna lead this team and we need more of that. No,

609
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: I love it, and hey if he if he leaves

610
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: the team with ten eleven sacks, I'll be more than happy.

611
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, you mentioned I love the defense. Only allowing

612
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: six points and zero in the fourth quarter, which has

613
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: been a point where we've struggled all year long. Giving

614
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: up a twenty yards of the fourth quarter, So you'd

615
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: like to see that, So that that's the positive side.

616
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about a kind of periodic throughout

617
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: the show. It's the Seahawks need to find that running

618
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 1: game again. And if Carson and Hide aren't back on

619
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night, we still have to figure out a way

620
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: between Collins, Homer and Dallas. We have to get the

621
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: running game going because right now it's not working without

622
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: some kind of bounce, and that's what we need. Yeah,

623
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: here's the here's the bad news. Hawks of loss two

624
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: in a row. That's true. Here's a good news. There's

625
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: still top first place in the division. Baby, you had

Speaker 1: a game coming up on Thursday. Gets a team that

627
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: beat you and beat the Bills on a hell Mary

628
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players I've seen in a while.

629
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: But it's time to get revenge. You are at home,

630

631
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna do what he does. Balls are gonna ball. But

632
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,360

00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be tough. I know it can

634
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: go either way. But this is a big game. This
