Welcome into another edition of Hawk 18 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 3: Talk as the Seahawks getting ready to take on the 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals, hoping to rebound from a tough loss at 20 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like I said, the formula 21 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: is very simple, but this is a team in the 22 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals, that is no joke, playing a really good 23 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: football the last couple of weeks. 24 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 4: So let's waste no more time. Let's get right into it. 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 4: What's on tap? 26 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: What's on tap? 27 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 3: Don't be filled by the record, Bump, four and twelve, 28 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 3: last place in the NFC West. But these guys were 29 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: playing some decent ball who won two of their last 30 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: four games. Things started off brutal for him, man, I 31 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: mean they started off two and ten with a lot 32 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: of brutal. 33 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 4: Loss in there. 34 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 3: They did beat the Cowboys one of those games, and 35 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: then Kyler Murray eventually came back. But they they beat 36 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: the Steelers team Sehawks just lost too. They lost to 37 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: the forty nine Ers somewhat competitively. They lost to the Bears, 38 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: who were hoping the Bears can be solved this week, 39 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 3: and they went down to Philly and beat the Eagles. So, Bump, 40 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 3: tell me about what's going on in Arizona. Jonathan Gannon 41 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: looked like he's trying to turn things around there. And 42 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: after that two and ten start. 43 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Cardinals went down to the Eagles and they 44 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 5: looked like it was going to be a route in 45 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 5: the first half man for the home team. Eagles led 46 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 5: twenty one to six at halftime, but Kyler Murray and 47 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 5: the Cardinals man they would not go down easy. The 48 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 5: Cardinals score touchdowns on all four of their second half possessions, 49 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 5: including the game winning seventh place seventy yard drive any 50 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 5: with a James Connor running touchdown from two yards out. 51 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 6: Connor's plays we go football right now. 52 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: Kyler was He was a fishing twenty one to thirty one, 53 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 5: three touchdowns, one interception. Connor ran for one hundred and 54 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 5: twenty eight yards on twenty six carries in one touchdown. 55 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 5: He had one receiving touchdowns well and Greg dortche Man. 56 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 5: He led all receivers with eighty two yards and seven receptions. 57 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 5: On the other side, the Eagles, Jalen Hurst was eighteen 58 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 5: to twenty three for one sixty seven and three touchdowns, 59 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 5: one interception. His interception on the last play of the 60 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 5: game on a hell Mary attempt. It was picked off 61 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 5: by our former safety Joey Blum. 62 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 6: Thigobs. Virginia A. J. 63 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 5: Brown had a quiet day fifty three yards and four 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 5: receptions and the Eagles have now lost four of their 65 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 5: last five. They are slipping towards the end of the season, 66 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 5: and gave the Cardinals some. 67 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 6: Liquid courage. 68 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 5: I want to say, back in our day, we would 69 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 5: call it, but it's it's called football courage. 70 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 6: They playing some good ball, man. This is a good 71 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 6: football team right now. 72 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 4: It is a good football team right now. And just 73 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: one thing on the Eagles. 74 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: They made a change at defensive coordinator, our guy Seanna 75 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: Sai who was out in Seattle for a year, and 76 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 3: they switch up to play calling duties to Matt Patricia 77 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: and then they still gave up thirty five points. Right, 78 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: I'm just saying. I'm just saying it. I don't think 79 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: it's a sign. I just want to throw that out there, 80 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But no, these Cardinals, man, Bump, 81 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: they are playing really well. And when you look at 82 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 3: this head to head comparison, they do some things. There's 83 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: a lot of similarities between the teams and where they 84 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 3: rank offensively and defensively. But what jumps out to me, 85 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: Bump right now for the Cardinals is they can run 86 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: the rock. They're six in the NFL rushing, averaging one 87 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four yards per game. The Seahawks are 88 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: twenty ninth in the NFL, averaging just ninety yards per game. 89 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: So that's definitely think we're going to keep an eye 90 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: on terms of overall offense, the Cardinals are twenty fourth 91 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: in the league, averaging three hundred and fifteen yards per game. 92 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: The Seahawks are twentieth, averaging three hundred and twenty two 93 00:03:59,080 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: yards per game. 94 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: When it comes to passing offenses. 95 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: With the Cardinals struggle at they are twenty ninth in 96 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: the league, averaging one hundred and eighty yards per game. 97 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: The Seahawks, minds, you're a little bit more middle of 98 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: the pack. They are fourteenth in the league, averaging two 99 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty two yards per game. When it comes 100 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 3: to points per game on offense, Seahawks averaging twenty one points. 101 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 3: That's tied for seventeenth in the league, and the Cardinals 102 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 3: just behind them at nineteen point four per game. That's 103 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: good for twenty fourth in the league. So very similar Offensively, 104 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: the Seahawks a little bit better in most categories, But 105 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: what really jumps out is how they are able to 106 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: run the rocks. We'll definitely get into their running game 107 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 3: and James Connor a little bit later, but that's what 108 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: scares me number one about these Cardinals. 109 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: Bump yeah. 110 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: Man. 111 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 5: Defensively, we're in the same boat twenty seventh overall for 112 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: the Seahawks, twenty sixth overall for the Cardinals. Rush defensive 113 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: Hawks are thirtieth, Cardinals are thirty second. Pass defense, the 114 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 5: Hawks are nineteenth, The Cardinals are thirteenth. 115 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 6: Points allowed per game. 116 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 5: The Hawks are twenty fourth and the Cardinals are thirty first. 117 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 5: Time of possession is about the same twenty six minutes 118 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 5: per game to twenty eight for the Cardinals. 119 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 6: Look at sacks thirty eight times. 120 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 5: Gino Smith has been Andrew Throwd doing there and the 121 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 5: Cardinals qbs have been sacked forty one times. 122 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 6: But the Hawks get after the quarterback a bit more. 123 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 5: They got forty six sacks, so they're thirty three and 124 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 5: both have eleven interceptions a piece, So on paper, teams 125 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 5: are about the same. Which right man, Kyler Murray is back. 126 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 5: James Connor had a good game, so you guess the 127 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 5: things to do. 128 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Cardinals. 129 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: If you think for a second the Seahawks are overlooking 130 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 3: the team, you're crazy because they're not only playing good football. 131 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: But the Seahawks are in a position where it doesn't 132 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: matter what your records say. It's all about winning the game. 133 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: So that's what they got to focus on coming into 134 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: this weekend. But these teams, being in the same division, 135 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 3: have a lot of history. 136 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: Let's learn about it. 137 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: No your history. 138 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: Seahawks lead the all time series twenty six to twenty 139 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 3: two in one and have won five of their last 140 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: six meetings. 141 00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 4: Last game this year. 142 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: Earlier this year in Week seven, the Seahawks beat the 143 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: Cardinals twenty to ten at lowin Field. This game with 144 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: felt like the Seahawks were control from start to finish 145 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 3: despite how close the score was. Didn't really feel like 146 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: the Cardinals really had an opportunity to win this game. 147 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: This was when dk Metcalf missed his first game of 148 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 3: his career, but the young'ins stepped up to help him out. 149 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: JSN and Jake Bobo each had four receptions. Jsn had 150 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 3: sixty three yards in a touchdown. Bobo had sixty one 151 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: yards in a touchdown. He also had that crazy good 152 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: touchdown in the back corner of the end zone on 153 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: the right hand side on the Seahawks sideline. That was 154 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: one of the better catches in the league this year 155 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 3: and that was kind of the peak of Bubbo Mania 156 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: this year. So shout out Jake Bobo. Go to his website, 157 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: get his T shirts, so little shame was plugged for you, Jake. 158 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 6: There you go. 159 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: But yeah, the Hawks were up fourteen to ten at 160 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: halftime and then shut the Cardinals out in second half. 161 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: Seahawks had some good drives but sawed out in the 162 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: red zone only out of two field goals to hold 163 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: on for the twenty to ten victory. Ken Walker had 164 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: his best game the season. Rushed for one hundred and 165 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: five yards with twenty six carries. That is shockingly his 166 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: only one hundred yard game of the season. And if 167 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: you would have told me in week eighteen that we'd 168 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: be saying that, I would have told you, your liar. 169 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: But it is what it is, So I'm hoping we'll 170 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: see more of that from ken this weekend. And defensively, 171 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: Jordan Brooks probably had his best game in the season. 172 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: He was flying around the day nine tackles, half a sack, 173 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: three TFLs, one passes defended, one QB hit. And then 174 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: at quarterback, Kyler Murray did not play in that game. 175 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: Joshua Dobbs, who's now in the Vikings, was the starter 176 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: at quarterback. He was nineteen thirty three win forty six, 177 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 3: also had forty three yards in seven on seven carries 178 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: and that one long touchdown, So this will be a 179 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: little bit different matchup the Viker accuse me. The Cardinals 180 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: were playing a lot more confidence, different quarterbacks, So we'll 181 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: see what happens. But before we get there, let's check 182 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: out what happened in the rest of the vision. 183 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: What's the word? 184 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: What side the Seahawks or the NFC West champs? 185 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: Again, what's the word in the West? On HOWK talk? 186 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: Niners at the top of the division at twelve and four. 187 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 5: The Rams are nine to seven, Hawks. 188 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 6: Eight and eight, and the Cardinals are four and twelve. 189 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: The Niners have clenched the NFC West as well as 190 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 5: the number one seed in the NFC, so they'll get 191 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 5: a first round five. The Rams have also clenched the 192 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 5: second wild card spot the number six seed in the NFC. 193 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 6: But the Hawks are so live. 194 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 5: They can clinch the number seven seed and the final 195 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 5: spot with a win over the Cardinals and a loss 196 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 5: by the Packers. But let's look at the forty nine 197 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 5: ers in the Commanders last week, Man the forty Niners 198 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 5: got back on track Sunday. 199 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 6: They took down the Commanders. 200 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: The Niners got touchdown catches from Deebo, Samuel Brandon Ay 201 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 5: and a Russian touchdown from Elijah Mitchell Purdy, who's coming 202 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 5: off a horrible game where he threw foeig interceptions. It 203 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 5: was a humbling loss to Baltimore. He was twenty two 204 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 5: to twenty eight, two thirty and two touchdowns. He's back 205 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 5: on track with those two hundred and thirty yards now 206 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 5: two hundred and eighty on the season. Rock Perty. He 207 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: didn't break Joe Montana's record. He didn't bring Colin Kaepernick, 208 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 5: Alex Smith. No, he broke Jeff Garcia single season franchise 209 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 5: wreck a four thousand to seventy eight yards set in 210 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 5: two thousand. 211 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 6: That is crazy to me, big upster brock Purty. 212 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 5: But I thought Joe Montana, maybe Kaepernick, Alex Smith, several 213 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 5: other quarterbacks who could have held that record. But oh, 214 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 5: Jeff Garcia, man, he was actually a good quarterback in 215 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 5: this league. Chris McCaffrey had ninety one skimming yards before 216 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 5: leaving a game with a calf injury, so we expect 217 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 5: him to probably sit this week for the Niners. The 218 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 5: Commanders tried to make it interesting though, trailing by just 219 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 5: three a half time, but were shut out in the 220 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 5: second half as they fail by score of twenty seven 221 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 5: to ten. The Commanders have now lost seven games in 222 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 5: a row and might now be in line for the 223 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 5: number two pick in the draft next year. Something tells 224 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 5: me be En of Me is going to want to 225 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 5: get himself a quarterback. 226 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: I think so and everyone I mean, it's crazy though. 227 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: When the Seahawks played them, whatever week that was, and 228 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 3: it was week ten or something, everyone was talking about 229 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: how good Sam how it had been, and how they 230 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 3: found something. They found a diamond in the rough. He's 231 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: going to be the next QB of his team. And 232 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: man went rains and poors in this league and things 233 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: have gone south for mister Sam Howell elsewhere in the division. 234 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: The Rams and the Giants. 235 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: This one was a frustrating watch as we were kind 236 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: of falling along in the press box on Sunday. The 237 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 3: Rams Punch are taking to the playoffs in dramatic fashion 238 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: against those Giants. It was a back and forth matchup 239 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 3: all afternoon. The things really got interesting in the fourth quarter. 240 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 3: Rams were out twenty six to nineteen. They punt a 241 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: gunner Olozowitski don't know how to say his name, Sorry 242 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: about that. He took it ninety four yards to the 243 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 3: house for a touchdown, one of improbable punt returns bump. 244 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: We don't see that in the league very often this year, 245 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: so for it to happen in that clutch moment, but 246 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 3: instead of kicking the extra point, everyone just wants to 247 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: go for two. Trendy thing right now, I guess taking 248 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: a page out of Dan Campbell's book. 249 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 4: They went for two. 250 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: Conversion failed when Tyrod Taylor couldn't connect with a wide 251 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 3: open Saquon Bottle. 252 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 4: It was short armed it. It's like a. 253 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: Pitcher who has the yips trying to throw the first 254 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: base short armed it. And then another one where it's 255 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: like if that was a receiver, I'd say you we 256 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: have to catch that. But when you're throwing a running 257 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: back out the backfield, just get it to him. 258 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 4: Come on, ty Rod. 259 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: Anyway, they didn't get it, but the game wasn't over 260 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: because the Giants would force upunt, get the ball back, 261 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: they would drive down. 262 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: Mason Crosby would miss. 263 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: The game winning fifty four yard field goal, and the 264 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: Rams would win and clinch the sixth seed in the playoffs. 265 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: Stafford twenty four to thirty four, three seventeen, one touchdown, 266 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 3: two picks. Kyron Williams Man, he just continues to dominate. 267 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 3: He had eighty seven yards with three touchdowns and Pugnacua 268 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 3: five reception, one hudred and eighteen yards. Well, a lot 269 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: of teams regret that they passed on him going in 270 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: the fifth round. He's gonna set He's on pace to 271 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: break the rookie record, I think this weekend. So he's 272 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: doing his thing. So that's what's going on in the league. 273 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 3: But what matters this week, Bump, is what the Seahawks 274 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: got to do. They got to take care of business 275 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: first and foremost down in Arizona. 276 00:11:49,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 7: Man ups, Man up, Hawk talk. 277 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: All right, first matchup, Gotta look at the quarterback spot. 278 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 6: Kyler Murray. 279 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 5: He tours acl in week fourteen and return to action 280 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 5: on November fourth. He excuse me, week fourteen of last year. 281 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 5: That'd be crazy if he made a return this year. 282 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 5: But return on November twelfth against the Falcons. Man three 283 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty five days. My man was out and 284 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 5: now Kyler Murray may deserves some credit for how he's 285 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 5: handled this season. He got a lot of negative press. 286 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 5: It was his attitude. The film study clause leadership. He 287 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 5: seems like that time off really helped him, and he 288 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: looks healthy immensely. 289 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 6: He looks like he's in a good place. 290 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 5: He did what he did, He did what he could 291 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 5: to get healthy, and the way he did it, I 292 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 5: think it's kind of changed the way that we look 293 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 5: at this guy. But he had to learn the new system. 294 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: There's a new offensive courting over there. He got Drew Petsing. 295 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm saying his name, Ridrew Petsing. 296 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: I'm gonna call it. 297 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 6: We'll call it good. Okay. Now he hasn't been pairing 298 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 6: it up. 299 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 5: But last week he played pretty good against Philadelphia. Like 300 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 5: we mentioned, he led them to a second half comeback. 301 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 5: I saw the team put up twenty nine points, four touchdowns, 302 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 5: two hundred and seventy yards, one hundred and thirty seven rushing, 303 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty three passing, and nineteen first downs 304 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 5: on its final four drives. Murray looked good man second half. 305 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 5: He was thirteen or fourteen when it comes to throwing 306 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 5: the football for one hundred thirty three three touchdowns. He 307 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 5: looked good. So we're hoping that that does not continue 308 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 5: this weekend. But so far, on the season, He's completing 309 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 5: sixty four percent of his passes fifteen hundred and thirty 310 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 5: seven yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. He's been sacked 311 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 5: seventeen times. Interesting enough, Joshua Dawson Kyler Murray have very 312 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 5: similar stats. In eight games, Dobbs had one more than Murray. 313 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 5: Dobbs was sixty two percent completion rate, fifteen hundred and 314 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,119 Speaker 5: sixty nine yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions, sacked seventeen times. 315 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 5: Murray did not play against the Hawks in Week seven, 316 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 5: so you know. The Hawks are twenty seventh overall. Defensively, 317 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: they're nineteenth against the pass. They've allowed at least three 318 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 5: out of twenty yards in five of their last six games. 319 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 5: I don't expect Kyler Murray to throw the ball all 320 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 5: over the yard. He doesn't have one receiver with a 321 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: one hundred yard game this year. He does have a 322 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 5: tight end with two though, so I expect him to 323 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: get McBride involved. 324 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 6: But he's still working out some kinks. 325 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 5: He played some good football last week, completely eighty percent 326 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 5: of his passes against Philly, but he's still working on 327 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 5: some stuff. 328 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the best he's looked this year. 329 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: And you said it, he loses his head coach who's 330 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: calling the plays. You have a new offensive coordinator in 331 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: your GM, a whole new system, so he's still figuring 332 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 3: it out. Mind you also coming back from an injury, 333 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: hoping his knee holds up. All these kind of things. 334 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: So last week it was the first week kind of 335 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 3: really got to see him. Looks like the Kyler Murray 336 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: of old. But slip it over to our quarterback, Gino 337 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: Smith taking on these Cardinals defense. Gino, I think, in 338 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: my opinion, like I said on the other podcast, coming 339 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: off one of the best games of the year, he 340 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: went twenty three or thirty three, essentially seventy percent for 341 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 3: two hundred ninety yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He 342 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 3: had a cuburating of one oh six, and I thought 343 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: he just moved so well in the pocket. I thought, 344 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: for all the nonsense out there that people think, the 345 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: narratives that they've decided about Geno because they didn't think 346 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: he was going to start or whatever, that he's not agile, 347 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: that he's not a good enough athlete, nonsense, nonsense. 348 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: Anyone that's making t J. 349 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 3: Watt fall on the ground and dive all over the 350 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 3: place is a good athlete, good pocket presidence. Gina put 351 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: that on full display last week and also another cool 352 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: thing in twenty five year old scramble. And he's really 353 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: cut down on the big mistakes. Obviously, he did have 354 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: the fumble against the Steelers, but that was from behind. 355 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: That's a sack. Really nothing you can do about that. 356 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 3: But in terms of interceptions, he's only had two interceptions 357 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: in his last six starts and now just needs forty 358 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 3: completions to pass Rick Meyer for fifth place on Seattle's 359 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: all times completion list with a fifteen after just two seasons. Now, 360 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: the first game against Arizona, he was eighteen and twenty 361 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 3: four two nineteen, two touchdowns in one interception, was sacked 362 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: twice and then cubuating of one thirteen, so he was solid. 363 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: He was pretty efficient. Just had the one turnover onto 364 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: miscommunication Bump. I want to say it was the Cardinals 365 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 3: sideline to Jake Bobo. I think they're a miscommunication on 366 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: the route. So yeah, he played a okay game and 367 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: hopefully you can kind of replicate some of that on 368 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 3: the year. He's a sixty five percent passer three four 369 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty five yards eighteen touchdowns, nine interceptions. Now, 370 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: on defense, this is a good match for the Seahawks. 371 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: The Cardinals have struggled. They're twenty six overall on defense, 372 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 3: last against the run, thirteenth to get the pass, so 373 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: they're decent there, but thirty first in points allowed. They're 374 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: twenty eighth in sacks, so they're not really getting at 375 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: the pressure on the quarterback and they're dead last and 376 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: QB it's at fifty nine. So that should bode well 377 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 3: for Gino. Smanth and I'm hoping you can kind of 378 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: take advantage. 379 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, Man, Gina's been solid all year. 380 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 5: Right, numbers aren't what they were last year, but man, 381 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 5: he's been keeping these guys in a game. Let's talk 382 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 5: about the pass catches for the Cardinals. You've got Trade McBride, 383 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,239 Speaker 5: Michael Wilson, and Roundell More. They're not the most explosive team. 384 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 6: Through the air. 385 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 5: These Arizona Cardinals are twenty ninth averaging one hundred eighty 386 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 5: yards per game, but they're tied in a Mcbrie. 387 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 6: Man, he's been having a good season. 388 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 5: He leads a team with seventy eight receptions and seven 389 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 5: hundred and ninety one yards. Those seventy eight receptions are 390 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 5: franchise single single record by a tight end, easily surpassing 391 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 5: the previous mark of fifty six. He has joined Hall 392 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 5: of Famer Jackie Smith as the only tight end in 393 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 5: franchise history with seven hundred receiving yards this season. Him 394 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: and Sam Laporta two best rookie tight ends in the league. 395 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 5: Right now, He's seventh in the NFL among tight ends 396 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 5: and yards. In the first matchup against the Hawks, he 397 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 5: had three receptions for twenty nine yards. Now Marquis Brown, 398 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: he was a number one receiver coming into the season, 399 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 5: was placed on IR a couple of weeks ago. 400 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 6: Hasn't had the best season. 401 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 5: Fifty one receptions, one hundred targets, five hundred and seventy 402 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 5: four yards in four touchdowns. But next in line is 403 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 5: the route runner. Not the fastest guy, but Michael Wilson 404 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 5: will run some routes. Thirty two receptions, the kid out 405 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: of Stanford, four hundred and seventy yards in three touchdowns. 406 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 5: He's had three receptions for twenty six yards. Or he 407 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 5: had three receptions for twenty six yards in their first matchup. 408 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 6: And then we got Rondell Moore. 409 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 5: He has thirty six receptions three hundred and twenty one 410 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 5: yards in one touchdown, two receptions for two yards in 411 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 5: the first matchup, and I want to say he was 412 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 5: the recipient of a big hit from Devin Withers. Yep, yeah, 413 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 5: I remember that lit him up. Now, the lack of 414 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 5: production might be associated with the quarterbacks that they've had. 415 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 5: They have three quarterbacks over there. They are not the 416 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 5: Cleveland Browns. We're going to just plug any quarterback in and 417 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 5: you'll be good to go. They got some things working 418 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 5: against them now. The Hawks are nineteenth against the pass. 419 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 5: They have seventy five passes defending on the season. That's 420 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 5: twelfth in the NFL, and Devin Witherspoon is fifth in 421 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 5: the NFL with sixteen passes defended. I like this matchup 422 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 5: with their pass catchers and our guys in the secondary. 423 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: No question about it. And it was good to see 424 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 3: Withers from back out there. He's brings so much energy 425 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 3: to this defense and he's fifty the NFL passes defended, 426 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 3: missing three games, so that just kind of shows you 427 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: the impact he's had. And it was good to see 428 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 3: him knock the rust off a little bit against Pittsburgh. 429 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 3: But I expect him to have a big game in 430 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 3: the season finale. Regular season finale. Then let's look at 431 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 3: the running game Ken Walker Zach Sharburning taking on this 432 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: Cardinals front seven, and I was just I'll make it 433 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: really easy for you guys. 434 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: Man. The Seahawks about six and oh when they. 435 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: Rush for one hundred yards and games easy two and 436 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 3: eight when they don't. So I'm hoping their prayers will 437 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 3: be answered come Sunday. Arizona is the worst team in 438 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: the NFL stopping the run, allowing one hundred and forty 439 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 3: three yards per game. Unfortunately, the Seahawks were twenty ninth 440 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 3: in the NFL, averaging just ninety yards per game. So 441 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: something's got to give, right last you know, Ken Walker 442 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 3: had ten carries fifty three yards in a touchdown. 443 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 4: He did do some good things in that game. 444 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 3: Is kind of battling a shoulder injury, so hopefully this 445 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: will be a full go and get a lot of opportunities. 446 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 4: Zach Sharburning only had two carries for two yards. 447 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: So the thing about Walker too, I mentioned earlier, it 448 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 3: was his only one hundred yard rushing game this season. 449 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: Twenty six carries one hundred and five yards in the 450 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: first matchup, He's got eight hundred and twenty seven yards 451 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: and eight touchdowns on the season. Sharbonney has got four 452 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 3: under and thirty yards in one touchdown. This is a 453 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: matchup to me, run the rock, run the rock and 454 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 3: physically get after him the one hundred and forty second 455 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: or they give up one hundred and forty yrds per game. 456 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: They're dead last in the NFL. Come out and run 457 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 3: the football, and I'm honest, I don't even care if 458 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 3: there's a possession in there where we ran the ball 459 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 3: three times and punting, that's okay. That's how much I 460 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 3: want them to try to establish this run and get 461 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: after them because dominate time of possession, take care of 462 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 3: what you can. I think that's a matchup where Ken 463 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: Walker and Zach sharpern I can have a big day. 464 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, we need him to have a big day. You 465 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: need our running back to ball out. You need this 466 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 5: running back to not do what he's been doing. I'm 467 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 5: talking about their guy, James Connor. He missed four games. 468 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 5: He's still only one hundred and ten yards away from 469 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 5: his first one thousand yard season ever in his career, 470 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 5: which is scary to me. I feel like he already 471 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 5: had one or two, But I guess not. My man's 472 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 5: doing his thing. He had his best performance of the 473 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 5: season last week against the Cardinals. He had a bug 474 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 5: twenty eight on the ground in a touchdown. He also 475 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 5: had a five yard reception. He returned to the lineup 476 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: against the Atlanta Falcons week ten after missing games being 477 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: on the ir. 478 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 6: Because of injury. 479 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 5: Since his return, he's been balling five hundred and twenty 480 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 5: six yards four touchdowns on eleven excuse me, one hundred 481 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 5: and thirteen carries, averaging four point seven per clip, including 482 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 5: sixteen ten plus yard runs. The Cardinals are fourth in 483 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 5: the league when it comes to breaking tackles in a rush. 484 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 5: Here's the thing about last week, we questioned the defense 485 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 5: in their tackling. Guess who's number one when it comes 486 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 5: to breaking tackles. 487 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: On a rush? Is it James Connor? 488 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 5: It's the Pittsburgh Steelers are number one, So against the best, 489 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 5: can get it done. Now, the Cardinals are fourth when 490 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 5: it comes to breaking tackles, so hopefully they learn from that. 491 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 6: All right, you saw the best. 492 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 5: Now get after these dudes, and it starts with up 493 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 5: with James Connor. Man we mentioned as a team, they're 494 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 5: six in the NFL when it comes to running the rock, 495 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 5: putting up one hundred. 496 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 6: And thirty four four yards per game. 497 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 5: So the thing that the Hawks are struggled with as 498 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 5: of late, they're going to be tested with. 499 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 6: So we'll see how they do. 500 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 5: Man, it's going to be an interesting gang a game 501 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 5: that's going. 502 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 6: To be intense. 503 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 5: I wish it was at home so I could fill 504 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: the crowd going nuts, but they're on the road, and 505 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 5: you know, let's see if they can tap into some magic. 506 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 6: It is. 507 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 5: Get back to fundamental ball, man, fundamental ball.
