Speaker 1: Julius Jones, a single setback Matt pump FECs looking at

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: the goal line, he throws it into the end zone. Touchdown.

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Bumpas, and

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: place on this team powered by Seahawks dot Com. But

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: wait is over. Hawk Talk is finally back in twenty

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: was good. Buddy was good. And it's been too long.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: It's been too long, but we are back, ready to go.

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Been some changes with the Seahawk team, but change could

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: be good. So I'm excited to talk about the dudes. Man. Yeah, Man,

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: I think the overarching kind of storyline all training camp

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 1: was just excitement. People are excited to be in this building.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: I'm excited to be in this building. This training camp

24
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: had a different field than really anything that I've been

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: a part of since I've been with the Seahawks. As

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: we know, I'm not breaking any news here. Number three,

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is no longer on the football team, Bobby

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: Wagner is not here. But it's just a different feel,

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: you know. We've heard Pete Carroll and John Schneider talked

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: about getting back in the reelhouse and it's about competition

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: and things have been fun this month at training camp.

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: So I'm so excited that we're actually getting ready to

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: talk about real football. Bump it counts next Monday. Where

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: are your first initial thoughts when you look at this

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: opening day roster for the Seahawks. Man, When I look

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: at this roster, obviously the big focus this offseason was

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You got Gino and Drew Lot battling

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: it out. Drew kind of. You got Covid five days

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: six days out the game kind of put them behind,

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: but end of the day, he had an opportunity to

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: when the job didn't When the job, Gino takes it

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: there the running back spot. We know this is Rashad's team, right.

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Shaw's gonna get every opportunity to show the twelves and

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: everyone across the country that last year was not a fluke.

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: No surprises there, but I gotta show some loves to

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: DJ real quick. Second preseason in the row. This guy

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: has has shown that he deserves to be on this team.

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Number thirty one was the leading rusher on this team

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: and one of the leading rushers in the preseason. Excited

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: for that. The one position that surprised me a little

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: bit with a cut was wide receiver because Freddie Freddie

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: Swain has been the guy that you can rely on

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: for a big play, who were there every single season

54
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and he just didn't get it done. But that lets

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: you know that there's some young guys in that receiver

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: room that are pushing to get some time. Is nice

57
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: to see dsk Gridge. He seems like he's healthy, Mark

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: he's Gilbin is going to be in the mix. Penny

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Hart and Therek Young the seventh round pick made the squad.

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm loving when I'm seeing so far. Yeah, we're gonna

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: keep coming back to it all season long and definitely

62
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: throughout this podcast. In its competition you mentioned it. Sway

63
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: was that guy last year. He was at number three receiver.

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: He seemed to make a decent amount of plays. He

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: was a good option for Russell Wilson in that offense.

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: But you come in this year in the Seahawks draft

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: a Derek Young late in the draft. Right, you have

68
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the es which coming back. Mark he's Goodwin comes in

69
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: and a guy that people forget about all the time

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: is Penny Hart. Penny Hart is a guy that was

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: it used to kind of be underneath the radar. He

72
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: was a guy that you knew was going to help

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: you on a special teams. But he just doesn't enough.

74
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: He's always around the ball and making plays and he's

75
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna help it. So I just love the competition. You know,

76
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: just because you were doing something last year does not

77
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: mean you're gonna be on the team doing it this year.

78
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited about that receiving corps. Obviously, Tyler

79
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: and DK, we know who they are. They're the best

80
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: combo receivers in the National Football League, But it'll be

81
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: good to see who emerges as that third receiver. I

82
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of us kind of thought, even going

83
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: in last year, is gonna be the es Ridge he

84
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: gets hurt in that Colts game, doesn't really come back

85
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: towards the end of the year. And now you add

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: markis Goodwin and other speed served between both those guys

87
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: that can kind of do some of the same things.

88
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So it'll be really interesting to see. And shout out

89
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to Derek Young for making the ball club kind of

90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: just going throughout the rest of this roster tight ends,

91
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: not a lot of surprise. There will Distlely coming back,

92
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Uncle Will doing his thing. Kobe Parkinson hoping that he's

93
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: a guy that can kind of get after it in

94
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: the red zone this year. He's a six seven frame,

95
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: he looks physically amazing. He's been hit in the weight

96
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: room hard. He looks like a guy that's definitely going

97
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: to be an impact this year in the red zones.

98
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: We're hoping to see that. But a guy I want

99
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: to get your opinion on, Bump is no a fan.

100
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's the big name coming out from Denver

101
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: in the Russell Wilson trade other than you know Drew

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Lock and Shelby Harris as well. But No Offense was

103
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: their leading receiver last year in terms of reception for

104
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos. What are you expecting to see from him

105
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: within this Shane Waldron offense. Well, No Offense has to

106
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: be that number three receiver. Now you had Gerald Ever

107
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: last year who was essentially that number three receiver. He's

108
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: gone and No Offense does a little bit more. What

109
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: we loved about Gerald Ever was that he can play outside,

110
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: he can play inside, and he can block. I like

111
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: a no A fan, I see the same thing, but

112
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: I see it at a higher level. No Offense is

113
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: a guy who can take a scream forty fifty sixty yards.

114
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: There's not too many tight ends in the league that

115
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: can do that. If you're talking about the George Kittles,

116
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: the Wallers and even the Kelsey's, There's only so many

117
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: tight ends who have those type of attributes. He might

118
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: be a guy that opens up this offense. The knock

119
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson was you don't use your tight ends enough.

120
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: You don't throw the ball across the middle. With Russell

121
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: not being here, you got Shane Walden will feel like

122
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: it's really gonna evolve as a play caller. You're bringing

123
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: up over a guy like Noah Fan. All he's gonna

124
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: do is enhance this offense. And what I like about

125
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: this room, Nass is that there's three different type tight ends. Yeah,

126
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Will Disley the guy who's whose blue collar gonna block.

127
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: You got Colbe Parkinson up Todd mister six seven, I'm

128
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: looking about ten pounds heavier this year. And then you

129
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: got Noah Fan, who does a little bit of everything.

130
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, no a Fan could be a key piece

131
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: of this thing. You mentioned all the names, the weapons

132
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: on offense, the receivers, the running bags, no offense in

133
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: dsk Bridge. I'm looking at those two to kind of

134
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: insert themselves into this offense and mix it up a bit. No, absolutely,

135
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and I love that. And if we're talking offense, Ray

136
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Roberts would come after us if we didn't mention the

137
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, So we definitely got to go there. Obviously

138
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: a lot of big improvements to that offensive line, and

139
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna start first of all with left tackle. You

140
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: draft Charles Cross out of Mississippi State, and he at

141
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the number nine overall pick and he's the guy that

142
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: you put in right away. There's no questions about this

143
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: or that. No, you draft him, he walks right into

144
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: that room and he is your starting left tackle. And

145
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: he's the guy that looked really good in the preseason.

146
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: He had the one game against Chicago where he had

147
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of fall start penalties, but that's something that's

148
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: so easily corrected, you know what I'm saying. So looking

149
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: past that, he's physical, he has a good bass. He's

150
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that I think is going

151
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to be a mainstay on this line for the next

152
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: decade to come. Hopefully. I'm not calling him Walter Jones

153
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but just the longevity is that

154
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: he has a potential. It'll be a guy like that.

155
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,119
Speaker 1: And then you go down the line. Obviously, Damian lewis

156
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: coming back. He obviously was hurt in the preseason, but

157
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: he's back there, coming back. Hopefully he'll be ready to

158
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: go for the season opener. Austin Blythe, a new addition

159
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: from previously with the Rams and the Chiefs, taken over

160
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: at center on the other side, gave Jackson and then

161
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: at right tackle, one of your koops, Abe Lucas looks

162
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: like he's won the job at right tackle. And it's

163
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: crazy if the Seahawks got this right to get two

164
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: potential bookend tackles in one draft, and Abe Lucas is

165
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: doing nothing but mauling people. I thought all they did

166
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: was pass it Wazoo bump apparent of this guy can

167
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: run block. He's putting people in the turf. And if

168
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: you're a dB and he's coming around that corner, you're

169
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: gonna make start making some business decisions because Abe Lucas

170
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: is a maller and I love what I saw from

171
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: him in this preseason. Yeah, and Lucas and Charles Cross,

172
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: those were the focus when it comes to that offensive

173
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: line for good reason. You mentioned Charles Cross number nine pick,

174
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna play. He could have had the worst preseason

175
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: in the world, didn't matter. You're picking number nine. You're

176
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna play. Thankfully, he did not have the worst preseason

177
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: in the world. Any showed that he can play. Did

178
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: have some hiccups, but that's what rickies do. They're gonna

179
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: have hiccups. On the other side, I've been saying that people,

180
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: this is the best draft I've seen from the Hawks

181
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 1: in a long time, and a lot of the reason,

182
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: not just because of Charles Cross, is because of what

183
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: they did in the later rounds. And Abe Lucas is

184
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: one of those guys. You bring Abe Lucas in to

185
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: play that offensive line? No one. I guess he had

186
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: the potential to be the starter, but you felt like

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: he had to go through Phil Haynes, had to go

188
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: through Ja Kerhand, he had to go through Stone Foresife.

189
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: Guys who have been here and played a little bit,

190
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: he did exactly that. Man, he showed that. Um, yeah,

191
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: they passed the ball a bunch of wallazoo. But he's

192
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: an athlete. You gotta forget. He comes from Archbishop Murphy

193
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: over there in Evert they r and the football. He

194
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: played basketball. He's an athletic type of dude. I look

195
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: at this offensive line. I love the interior. We gotta

196
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: see how Damian Lewis hills up from his injury. But

197
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: you got Austin blythe you got Gabe Jackson. I'm optimistic

198
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: about this offensive line. They're gonna lean on him early

199
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: because they want to run the football a lot. We

200
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: were shot pennyback there, but now I look at the

201
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: d line nast and I see two names that I

202
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: just want to love off Todd Puna Ford and newly

203
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: captain Al Woods. Those guys are gonna hold down the interior.

204
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Mulney had a good preseason. Miles Adams one of

205
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: my favorite players to watch this preseason. He was everywhere.

206
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson is back for the second time, and they

207
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: have Shelby Harris who's involved in that Denver trade. This

208
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: defensive line is gonna be key. They're not gonna get

209
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: all the glory, right, not gonna be celebrated the way

210
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: that they should be saying with the offensive line. But

211
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: you look at the guys who have been here, the

212
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: guys who are emerging, and the guys who are are

213
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: back for the are here for the first time, and

214
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: you gotta look at this this d line and say, Okay,

215
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: you can work with this absolutely. I think when I

216
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: see those names, I just think it runs stuffers up front.

217
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I think a big out woods Man. You're not moving

218
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: that dude. He's gonna eat a bunch of double teams

219
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: and keep guys off the linebackers poona Ford does the

220
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: same thing. Brian Money is another guy that helps in

221
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: the interior, and I love bringing Quinn Jefferson back. He's

222
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: one of my favorites personally over here. He's made a

223
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of stints with the Seahawks, and he had a

224
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: great career, you know, outside of this building with the

225
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Bills, So it's good to see him

226
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: back in the building. I think the defensive line is

227
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: going to be in really good shape. And we're gonna

228
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: talk about this a little bit more later. But when

229
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: you think of defensive line, when you see the roster

230
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: and you go, wait, there's only six or seven defensive lineman.

231
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: What's that about? Well, it's because of the defense, is

232
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: because of the three four, right, So we're gonna have

233
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: all these linebackers that are gonna play that quasi role

234
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: kind of defensive line kind of linebacker gonna line up

235
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: on the edge and the offenses constantly has to figure

236
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: out which guys are rushing the passer. Right. So the

237
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: thing I love about that, So where would go to linebacker?

238
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Because I kind of grew both these the front seven

239
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: in together. Is boy, Darryl Taylor, come on now, I'll

240
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: come out. Let's say we'll do the hot takes from

241
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: the jump, right, Darryl Taylor will have at least twelve

242
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: sacks this year, all right, And you know, honestly, I

243
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't even really take credit for that because that's not

244
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: really going out on a limb. If anyone has watched

245
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: him at practice, if anyone saw what he did last year,

246
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: he is a dude that he has a motor and

247
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: he's always singing, he's always dancing on if you follow

248
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: any of our social media platforms, Darryl Taylor is that

249
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: dude and brings that energy. I think he's gonna go

250
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: nuts this year. Huchenna Nuosu is gonna be another guy

251
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: that helps us a lot. Coming from the Chargers, did

252
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot of good things over there. You draft boy

253
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: a mafe from Minnesota. He has that burst and that

254
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: get off. We saw a little bit of what he

255
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: can do against the Steelers in that first preseason game.

256
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Then you got guys like Alton Robinson who did some

257
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: things last year. And then the guys in the middle

258
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: right fifty six, fifty seven, George Brooks, Cody Barton. Those

259
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: are the dudes that are really stepping up and feeling

260
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: the void of Bobby Wagner. But these guys are ready,

261
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: They're ready. Cody Barton has been in waiting in the wings.

262
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: He's been here for years, waiting for his opportunity, waiting

263
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: for his opportunity. He finally gets it. Jordan Brooks came

264
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: out on the scene. He's shown what he could do.

265
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Got banged up a little bit his rookie year. Last

266
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: year he set the franchise record and tackles, so we

267
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: know he's about that life. So I'm just really excited

268
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: about the linebackers and this front seven in general. I

269
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: really think a guy like Jordan Brooks, he's got the

270
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: dot on the helmet, you're calling the plates. It's a

271
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: lot more added responsibility. But I think he's a guy

272
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna take a huge step in twenty twenty two.

273
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: The linebacker group has to be one of the most

274
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: versatile positions on this field, especially if you're on the edge.

275
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: Right you mentioned they're gonna walk down, give you that rush. Look,

276
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: they can also drop into space. That's when you depend

277
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: on Uchenna and boy at MAFE and Daryl Taylor. What

278
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: I love about boy at MAFE he hasn't played football

279
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: for a very long time, so everything you say to

280
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: him is gold. Everything you say, He's like, look, I'm

281
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna give him my best effort and I'm gonna try

282
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: it because I don't have a lot of experience. That's

283
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: a gift in a curse, right, you don't have a

284
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: lot of experience, you haven't been through a lot of situations.

285
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: But when you are a coach to do something, you're

286
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Drawing books is signed, still deliver, ready

287
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: to go. Then Cody Barnes has been waiting in the

288
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: wings for a few years now for his opportunity. We

289
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: saw him play early, struggled a little bit. Then you

290
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: move to special teams. You spot a man here or there.

291
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: He's been getting these reps. I really like this group.

292
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to depend on this group, and the

293
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: next group is a cornerback group super Bowl that is

294
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: going to be targeted. Right the last couple of years,

295
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: this defense has been the greatest when it comes to

296
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: the past. But there's reason to be optimistic. Yeah, guys

297
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: coming back. Sidon Jones had a concussion this training camp.

298
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Didn't see much of him, but we know that he

299
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: is ready to go. Then you bring over Already Burns,

300
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's familiar with the side and what they

301
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: want to do on the back end. There, you draft

302
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, the Jim Thorpe winner out of Cincinnati, and

303
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: then you're bringing Terq Willin, who has been a surprise

304
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: to everybody. Physically, we knew that he had that, But

305
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: now is can you line up? Can you flip the hips?

306
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Can you be a true corner knowing that you were

307
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: a receiver of your career and you've only played fourteen games?

308
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Get Justin Coleman here for the third time he came back.

309
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: He makes the squad than Isaiah Dunne and Michael Jackson.

310
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: Big up. So Michael Jackson, we're gonna talk about him

311
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 1: because he's the epitome of competition when it comes to

312
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: this roster. This dude maybe now's he played. It seemed

313
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: like he played every snap on defense and every snap

314
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: on special teams. I'm watching him like, man, he'll be

315
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: sore after this game because Michael Jackson was everywhere making plays.

316
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for that dude. He made the team.

317
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: But you look at these rookies Kobe Bryant and terrieq Woollan,

318
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: You go, are we looking at the future of this

319
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: Seahawks secondary for a while now? Without question, you see

320
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: those guys, and again, Kobe Bryant's a guy that could

321
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: have easily gotten drafted way higher. You know, you win

322
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: the drem Thorpe Award, is the best dB in college

323
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: and he probably didn't get the recognition he deserved because

324
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: we played against or he played alongside excuse me, Sauce Gardner. Right,

325
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: saus Gardner is a top ten pick. Everyone's talking about

326
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: him the whole time that Kobe Bryant has been through it.

327
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: He spent putting in his time in Cincinnati, and he

328
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: showed a lot of good things out here on the

329
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: practice field. And I think what surprised people, not necessarily

330
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: in this building, but people looking on the onset was

331
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: him going to nickel, him going inside. He can obviously

332
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: play outside, but he's been used a lot on the interior.

333
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: So'll be a nice battle to kind of watch with

334
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: him moving forward and Trigu willing Man. When we got him,

335
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I was obviously anytime you see a guy runs a

336
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: four two, what you're like, yeah, sign me up, thank you.

337
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: He's long, he's lanky, plays corner, but you expect a

338
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: huge learning curve. You expect the guy that's probably really

339
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: raw because footwork probably isn't that great. His hands might

340
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: not be that great. There might be something. There's a

341
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: reason why this specimen is here at this time, and

342
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: it's because change of positions, because how long he played football.

343
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: But he falls to you, and what surprised me is

344
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: he's not as raw as I thought he was going

345
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: to be. He's a lot more polish. His footwork is

346
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: great getting in out of break. So really excited about

347
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: the corners. And then we'll wrap it up with the safeties.

348
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Not allowed to say there Man Quandri Digsmall Adams, we

349
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: know we're getting. Those are two the best safeties in

350
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I'm really excited to what they

351
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: can do this year. Obviously Jamal Adams coming back from injury,

352
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: but seeing him get after the quarterback again and do

353
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: some good things. Quandre Diggs the most underrated free safety

354
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: in the game today. Several seasons with five interceptions, he's

355
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: balling out. Then the other good part at the back

356
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: end is their death. We know Ryan neil Kind because

357
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: he's been making plays for this team for a couple

358
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: of years now. But Josh Jones and Joey Blunt showed

359
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: up to camp and they were hitting people. They were physical,

360
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: they were in your face. There was some dust ups

361
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: and training camp with some of the receivers in DK,

362
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: but I just love to see the physicality for them,

363
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: and they're on seeing and they're ready to compete. They're

364
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna help on special teams and if anyone goes down,

365
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: there's definitely a feeling of depth and reel that those

366
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: guys can step in and really help the team. We

367
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: know the specialist Michael Dickson, Jason Myers, Harot holding it down.

368
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: So love to see that. And the last thing I

369
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: would say about the roster in this building. We're gonna

370
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: hear from Coach Carroll in one second. But the reason

371
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I want to bring it up is we're not gonna

372
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: avoid the elephant in the room, Elvin in the room,

373
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: is that everyone outside this building thinks the Seahawks are

374
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: not going to be a good football team. Right right

375
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: everywhere you look, people are saying we're goining four games,

376
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna win three games, maybe two, What are they

377
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: doing with quarterback? Blah blah blah. But the good thing

378
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: about that, bump, the great thing about that is none

379
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: of those people are in this building and coaches football team.

380
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Here's a head coach Pete Carroll talking about expectations going

381
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: into the season. I don't feel like that at all.

382
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't feel like any part

383
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: of any of that is what's true, other than the

384
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: fact that that's what people think, you know. So I'm

385
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: not in that business now. I'm in the business. They

386
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: help them, these guys get ready to play. And with

387
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: all of the all of the work that we do

388
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: and all of the mentality and the culture and the

389
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: environment that we're in, we've been averaging ten wins a

390
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: year for the last twenty something years. You know, you

391
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: think I could think anything different than that. I don't.

392
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see any reason my expectations should

393
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: change at all. I don't care what anybody says. I

394
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: love it because it's true. Did you hear the back

395
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: end of that? We've been winning Temples Games how many

396
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: years in a row? Like come on now? Some years

397
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: it is not just what we do, not his first

398
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: rodeo and the thing that I love. They're back in

399
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: the real house. And people always forget that people weren't

400
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: just known commodities. Everyone in a legion of Boom, all

401
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: those guys, Russell Bobby. Every one of them was not

402
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: a known commodity. The only guy out of that those

403
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: legion of boom guys that were talking about was Earl

404
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: Thomas was the only first round pick. Russell Koon was

405
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: one of the first round. Like, we didn't hear about

406
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the Sherms and all those guys. They had to be discovered,

407
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: developed and found at one point, and they did that.

408
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: So I think that the Seahawks are obviously in great hands.

409
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: We know that, but I just love where they're at

410
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: and the guy leading the charge, Pete Carroll still here,

411
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: John Schneider, everyone on the same page, and we're talking

412
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: about competition bump, which leads me into the unofficial depth chart.

413
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna start this by saying it's unofficial, it's

414
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: not official. That doesn't mean that what we say here

415
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: means what's going to happen on Sunday. But when the

416
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: unofficial depth chart did come out for the Seahawks, which

417
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: every team has to put in their game release bump,

418
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: which jumped out to you the most. You've got three

419
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: rookies that are supposedly going to start right you mentioned

420
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: this is unofficial. We talked about Charles Cross ab Lucas

421
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: on that line. You got Terik Wooling, and then you

422
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: have Michael Jackson, the guy who make this team the

423
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: hard way. He played every single preseason game. He was

424
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: out there sweating Some dudes played five to ten plays

425
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: and say, man multiplied app by six. All right, I'm

426
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: out there every single play. And like I mentioned, the

427
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: true definition of if you just do your job, if

428
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: you make plays and you show up, you're gonna have

429
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make this team. Other than that, no

430
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: real surprises. The quarterback battle was settled. Pee Carroll came

431
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: out right after the third preseason season game and say, look,

432
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Genos our guy. We're gonna move forward with him. Drew

433
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: Log has to support. We'll see what happens at the

434
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: end of the season. There, but really no surprises. Three

435
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: rookie starting, and then you got Michael Jackson doing it

436
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: the hard way. Yeah. Love Michael Jackson. Competition. You're hey,

437
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: other guys are banged up, you're playing the best. You

438
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: were going to be rewarded. I love the rookies that

439
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: are going to be out there. So Bump is that time, baby,

440
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: It's that time? What's on tap? What's on tap? What's

441
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: on tap. The Denver Broncos, as we've been talking about

442
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: seven and ten, last year last place finisher in the

443
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: AFC West. In twenty twenty one, they are coming to

444
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: Looming Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks on Monday

445
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: Night football. All eyes on the Emerald City next Monday. Now, Bump,

446
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: take me into this head to head comparison. Right, So,

447
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: typically we'll put a lot more stock into this as

448
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: the season goes on, because we're talking about this, but

449
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: this we're just looking at last year and so much

450
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: has changed. But Bump, what jumps out? Let's at least

451
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: look on the Denver side, what jumps out from the

452
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: head to head comparison? Here? A man like you said,

453
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: you can't put too much into this, but the thing

454
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: that does stand out to me, it's a total defense,

455
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: right number eight in the NFL, averaging three hundred and

456
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: twenty yards per game, and they were really good against

457
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: the past. Now we know that probably won't play too

458
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: much into this match up against the Seahawks. We feel

459
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: like they're gonna lean on the run to start, but

460
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: sooner or later, Gina is gonna have to open that

461
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: thing up. You still got dk, You still gotta lock it.

462
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: You still got no a fan. We'll see how ds

463
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: Gridge really inserts himself in here. But no, that's what

464
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: I look at, man, because they're gonna be so different

465
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: offensively with Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson apparently is a coach

466
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: over there. You don't, Yeah, I mean they defer to him,

467
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So we'll see what type

468
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: of game planing Russell Wilson has over They're good for him,

469
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: he got everything he wanted. But I just look at

470
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: the defense and I say, Okay, a lot of those

471
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be back. They're gonna hang their hat

472
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: on that number eight defense in the league last year.

473
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: What stands out to you? Yeah, I think you took

474
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: the words of my mouth. I think what they do

475
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: defensively and they allow the points day lapper game third

476
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL, only allowing eighteen points per game, which

477
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: usually means they were crazy, you know, causing turnovers or

478
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: really high against other stats. It doesn't really pan out

479
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: that way. They didn't. They did only have thirteen interceptions

480
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: last year and they were only plus one in the

481
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: turnover differentials, so obviously takes him account what the offense did.

482
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: But no, I just think that they're they're a solid defense.

483
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna get to pass and they keep people off

484
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. For the Seahawks, throw everything out with the

485
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: Bathwater man, throw it all out. It's all gone because

486
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: what app defensively. We talked about this for the last

487
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: two years. Man with the Seahawks ruggled a ton at

488
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year and then right at the

489
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: ship and the numbers were off all year, right, So

490
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: it's hard to even look at any of these numbers

491
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: because I truly believe this defense under new leadership, with

492
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: Clint Hurt and Shawn Desai and Carl Scott and the

493
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: players that we have back players coming back from injury,

494
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: that there's no way to me that I can that

495
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I'll see under pass defense thirty one, total defense twenty eight.

496
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't even I'm not even put that

497
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: out there in the universe because I can't picture that

498
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: happening this year. So, but the one thing when we

499
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: look at the stat leaders obviously change up at the

500
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: quarterback position and some of these these top positions. But

501
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: if you're looking for the Broncos, no offense leading receptions

502
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: leader and Shelby Harris the leading sack getter or on

503
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Now switch Jersey's baby to the right side,

504
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: not the dark side. Got away from the dark side.

505
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: Yoh hear what else now? But yeah, you look, Rashad

506
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: needs to be Rashad, DK needs to be DK. Dunlap

507
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: is no longer here. We're hoping Shelby Harris helps out there.

508
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: And then of course we got one of the best

509
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: punters in the game. And Michael Dixon might not get

510
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the love that he deserves, but he will switch phil

511
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: position on you real quickly. This is what's weird about

512
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: week one, right, it is there's a lot of changes

513
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: that happened. The NFL did a great job scheduling Seahawks

514
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: versus Denverse, so there's it's hard to compare. But you

515
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: never really know what you're gonna get. This is week one.

516
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you have an idea, right, We've been here

517
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: watching the Seahawks and their training camp in their preseason.

518
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: The Broncos been over there watching them. I'm like, you

519
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: got Nathaniel Hackett as your offensive coordinator? Are they watching

520
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay Backers film? Like? Yeah, Theahawks looking at that

521
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: film to kind of see what Russell wants to do.

522
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: But now Russell was like a MINIOC. So the questions

523
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: that we have, I think is what's gonna make this

524
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: matchup so interesting on Monday. What I love about this,

525
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: and you'll relate to this because you're a former high

526
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: school football coach over at Monroe High School. The thing

527
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: about that first game is you go through camp, you

528
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: watch film, your practice all month, you go through all

529
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: your plays, you watch all the film. But man, you're

530
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: watching all that for a series number one for one

531
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 1: once that first series. At first they give a line

532
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: up and you go, oh, well, I haven't seen that

533
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: formation before, okay, and then every day out the window.

534
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: So I love that part about the first game. So

535
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: it is definitely going to be interesting. But while we're

536
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: talking about the first game and who the Seahawks are playing,

537
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: it is time to know that history. No your history

538
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: series record. Broncos lead all time regular season series thirty

539
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: five to nineteen. Last meeting was Season OPRAH in twenty eighteen,

540
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: were the Seahawks fell to the Broncos twenty seven twenty

541
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: four in Denver. That game really was remembered for let's

542
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: see a couple of things. So Russell Wilson through for

543
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: almost three hundred yards, did have three touchdowns, but was

544
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: sacked six times in through two interceptions. But what it

545
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: should be most remembered for for Seahawks fans, it was

546
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: the coming out party for Will Disley. That was his

547
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: first game. He had three receptions one hundred and five

548
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown. That's still the most reception yards

549
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: he's ever had in his career. So it's cool to

550
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: see that. And then Chris Carson. I'd be remissed if

551
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: I didn't if I didn't talk about this play because

552
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: we got to see Chris Carson's athletic ability on this

553
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: nice run. Chris Carson back again as a single setback

554
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: with a slot near side. Hey Carson gets it. Hey,

555
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: he jumps over a man at the ten fifteen twenty

556
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: down the far sidelines and steps out of bounds. Holy mackerel.

557
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Chris Carson doing his skeets knee a Maya impression, jumps

558
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: right over the top of the defender and picks up

559
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: twenty four in a first down. What I love about that.

560
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: I know the skeets nia Maya is, but a lot

561
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: of people might not know who he is rable with

562
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: the throwback. I'm filling it hat you. He's pulled the

563
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: Skeetsnia may Out a couple of times. I'm not gonna lie.

564
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: The first time he said it, I was kind of confused,

565
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: but I did my research a mom, I'm up to

566
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: speed now. Skeetzi Maya was a burner in the hurdle,

567
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: but no, I loved I just wanted to play that

568
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: just for the hell of it. Miss you, Chris Carson.

569
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Chris Carson did so many good things for this team.

570
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: It's a real barmer that he's not going to be

571
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: with the Seahawks anymore, but I love to see what

572
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: he was able to do. In the last random note

573
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: from that Moroncos game, Brandon Marshall caught a touchdown for

574
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: the Seahawks wild and it's so like I went back

575
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: to the box where I was like, oh yeah, Brandon

576
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: Marshall did play for the first like six games that year. Anyway,

577
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: he ended up his tenure with the Seahawks that year.

578
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: But enough about the history. Now, signed to figure out

579
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: what's going on in the NFC West and the Seahawks

580
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: where the NFC West champs again, what's the word in

581
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: the West on hot Talk, I'll tell you what the

582
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: word was. Last year, Rams win twelve and five, the

583
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals eleven and six, Saint France ten and seven, and

584
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: your Seahawks the bottom of the division at seven. In ten,

585
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: the Seahawks missive playoffs for the first time since twenty

586
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: seventeen and twenty twenty one, man the second time in

587
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: the Pete Carroll and John Schneider Ara. The Rams, of course,

588
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl Super Bowl Ffty six. They beat

589
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals twenty three to twenty. The Niners made it

590
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: back to the postseason in twenty twenty one, losing to

591
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: the in the NFC Championship to the Rams at twenty

592
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen. The Cardinals made the playoffs for the first

593
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: time in six years, but were handed a nice hell

594
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: in the wild card round thirty four to eleven. Kylin

595
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: Murray did not play very well. He's pounding on the sideline.

596
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Like we say, man, the West is going to be

597
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: arguably the tough division in football. You can look at

598
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: the FC West and throw them into the argument, but

599
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: when you look at the quarterbacks in this division alone,

600
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: you look at Matthew Stafford, Kyler Murray, you got Gino

601
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: over here as well. And then what's gonna happen with

602
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Trey Lance? Right, He's like the big question mark in

603
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: this division. Can he be the guy? He's only played

604
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: one season, one full season since his senior year in

605
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: high school, So it's gonna be some changes there. I'm

606
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: interested to see what this forty nine or offense looks like.

607
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: Will it be like Kaepernick back in the day where

608
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of boot play action he used his

609
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: young guys. Athletic says that we shall see. The weird

610
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: thing about the forty nine ers is Jimmy G is

611
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 1: still lurking before or during the postseason. They're like, look,

612
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna get rid of this guy. They're they're on

613
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: good terms. Jimmy G has a conference. Hey I'm out

614
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: of here. Kyle Shanahan, Hey, I'm out of here. They

615
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: try to ship them nows and nobody wanted this man

616
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: for twenty five million dollars. Then they say, look we'll

617
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: get we'll give him to you how to reduce price. Nigga, Nah,

618
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: we still don't want him. So now he is signed.

619
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: He's getting six million dollars this year. I think he's

620
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: just trade baked about four or five to six weeks

621
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: into the season, somebody might take a look at him. Yeah,

622
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: that was so weird to me because you're obviously and

623
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: you can see why when you when you take the

624
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: hat of a front office person and think what they're doing,

625
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: because you have all those goodbyes, you have a tearful goodbye,

626
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Everyone says the right thing, it's amicable.

627
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: Everyone is in good shape. And you announced Trey Lance.

628
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: And usually when you give the keys to the car

629
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: to somebody else, you're like, okay, we're one hundred percent

630
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: behind you, which the forty nine ers are doing. But

631
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: they also don't sign that the old guy who still

632
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: has a key to the house, who was running things

633
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: for the last three years. They did some good things.

634
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he did take him to do Super Bowl,

635
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: did take him to another NFEC Championship game thirty three

636
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: and fourteen as a starter. But here's the most I

637
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: think Trey Wingo posted this a while back. This is

638
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: the most Jimmy Garoppolo stat that I could that I

639
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: could bring up. So in those starts that I was

640
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: mentioned in thirty three and fourteen is a starter. He's

641
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: average one point five touchdown passes per game and has

642
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: more zero touchdown pass games with eight than three touchdown

643
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: pass games with six. So crazy. But all that being said, though,

644
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: we do know that he's obviously done enough to get

645
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl, and he's a competent quarterback

646
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. What happens Week one when

647
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: maybe trays back game he throws three picks gets a

648
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: little dinged up. I mean, who's are reclaiming for Jimmy

649
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: g Who knows Jimmy's lurking? The Niners fans are gonna

650
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: go there for sure if Trey Lands is struggling, I

651
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: don't think because of the way their roster is set up,

652
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: set up twin right now. So Trey Lands goes out

653
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: there and he's not a look good in the first

654
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: few weeks, they will be hollering Jimmy's name from the mountaintop.

655
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: But let's talk about this young man down in Arizona. Okay,

656
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: dude got paid, Hala Murray, I'm not ahead, or get

657
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: your money, man, two hundred and thirty million, You go

658
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: do your thing. We was weird was about that contract.

659
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: How they put a study clause in there. No video

660
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: game claws in there. Then he comes out, he goes

661
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: it's disrespect for people to think that I wouldn't study. Well,

662
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't in their own accident, you know what I'm saying.

663
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that type of clause being in

664
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: a contract. But nonetheless, there's no denying Kyler Murray can play.

665
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's athletic, he's got a cannon, he's elusive.

666
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: So that's a situation too. Man, how does him in

667
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: his head coach coordinator kind of get over that hump?

668
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: You didn't make it to the playoffs last year, but

669
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: you didn't look impressive at all. Yeah. We kind of

670
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: went back and forth on Kyler A. Lott over the

671
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: last two years on this podcast, specifically in this segment,

672
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: because we do know his ability. His athletic ability is

673
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: unmatching this league. We compared him a lot too when

674
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: Russell got going that Kyler Murray would not be where

675
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's at in the National Football leau if it

676
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: wasn't for Russell Wilson, because he kind of paved the

677
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: way for guys his size and athletic ability to baseball

678
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: all those other comparisons, and he can ball out, but

679
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: there's still question marks because under Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler

680
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: Murray at together, they have notoriously flamed out at the

681
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: end of the year in epic fashion. Right, They were

682
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: not playing their bestball at the end of the year

683
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: and kind of led into them getting steamrolled in the playoffs.

684
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see because the talent is there.

685
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: We know Cliff Kingsbury is a great offensive mind, great

686
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: offensive minding coach. The hops over there. Still they still

687
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: got playmakers, so it'll be interesting to see what goes on.

688
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: But if things don't start great, things could get real

689
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: interesting down there in Arizona. But all right, let's get

690
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: back to the matchup that matters the most, and it's

691
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos versus Seahawks. Tign the man up, this

692
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: man up on Hawk Talk. Well, this is a little

693
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: awkward up because we would start this segment a lot

694
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: of times looking at Russell Wilson against whoever they're facing,

695
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: whatever defensive matchup they had. But we're gonna flip it

696
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: on you guys this year because this first matchup we're

697
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson, a member of the Denver Broncos,

698
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: going up against the Seahawk defense. And this is the

699
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: most talked about, hyped up, anticipated season openers storyline that

700
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: I can remember, at least in Week one, where someone

701
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: left the team and they're playing that team in their

702
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: building that first game of the year. And you know,

703
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was great for the Seahawks, a decade of success,

704
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl champion, tons of numbers, tons of records, just

705
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: full of stuff, right, and then now he's moved on.

706
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: The Seahawks moved on. Everyone moved on. It's a different

707
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: it's a different time here in the building at the vMac.

708
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: It's a different time for Russell in Denver. But this matchup, man,

709
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember, So take me through it. Obviously, bump

710
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: between us. We can talk about that stuff, right because

711
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: we're not playing in the games. We know everyone downstairs

712
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: in this building is going to be locked in, ready

713
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: to go. They don't care who's lining up against him.

714
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: But when when you think about it from a coaching standpoint,

715
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: no one knows Russell Wilson more than Pete Carroll and

716
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: this staff does in the world, i'd presume, right. And

717
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: then on the same token, Russell Wilson knows this building

718
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: and what the Seahawks standpoint more than anybody who has

719
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: the advantage going into Week one based off of familiarity. Honestly,

720
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not just saying this because I'm in Seattle.

721
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: I honestly think Seattle has the advantage because they know

722
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: his weaknesses and what he wants to do and what

723
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: he wants to be. What he wanted to be wasn't

724
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: how peat here wanted to run his program, his offense,

725
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: so they part ways. I think the challenge for Russell

726
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 1: is going to be what is his defense going to be?

727
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't seen this defense in Seattle. Has he seen

728
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: a three four defense with a match zone and all

729
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: the stuff they're gonna do. Of course he has, He's

730
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: been in the league ten years. But he can't just

731
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: throw on some film from Clint Hurt being a defensive

732
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: coordinator last year, a couple of years ago and say, Okay,

733
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: this is what he likes to do. You can look

734
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: at these preseason games and say, all right, I have

735
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: an idea what they want to do, but we all

736
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: know in preseason they're vanilla is heck? So honestly, I

737
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: think Seattle has the advantage when he comes to knowing

738
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses. Now, when it comes to execution, say

739
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: what you want about Russell might not have left the

740
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: way you liked it, But this dude can play some football.

741
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: So he's going to make some all script plays. He's

742
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: going to make some monscript plays. But initially going in

743
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: on paper when you're just sizing some guys up, Seattle

744
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: has the advantage, but you still gotta go out there

745
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: and play some ball. Absolutely, you're right. At the end

746
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: of the day, players got to make plays, and that's

747
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: always how it's going to be. It's always how whatever

748
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: will be on the football field. But I totally agree

749
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: with you. And one of the reasons why I think

750
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: about it too is beyond, like you said, the play

751
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: calling and stuff, right, Russell has seen those type of

752
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: defenses absolutely, but they know what his thought process is, like, Hey,

753
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: here's the things I like in short yardage. Hey, when

754
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: this is happening, I like to do this when this

755
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: breaks down, here are my favorite go to things. Obviously

756
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: offenses are different things like that, but they know how

757
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: he processes information. They were in meetings for a decade

758
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: with the man talking about what worked, what didn't work,

759
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: what he's trying to get done on this play. So

760
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: just kind of knowing that as a background, it's gonna

761
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: be really fun chess match though, right, because it's gonna

762
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: be back and forth, right because Ruskin like, oh, they

763
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: really think I like this in short yardage, Bam, I'm

764
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna try hit him with this if it's open, and

765
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: saying for Pete Carroll and then and then Clint hurting everybody,

766
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, Oh, Russell Wilson might be doing this. We should.

767
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: They're thinking we're gonna play it this way because we've

768
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: always taught that in our building, but we're actually so

769
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: that chess match is gonna be fun. I think. I

770
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: think I'm just so excited to see what our defense

771
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: is gonna look like. We're vanilla in the preseason. We

772
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: finally get to see what this defense is gonna be

773
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: like with our top safeties returning back Jordan Brooks, Cody

774
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: Barton holding down in the middle, obviously Outwoods, and those

775
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: guys up front. Daryl Taylor looks like a guy who's

776
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna have double digit sack numbers, and obviously Seahawks are

777
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: draftly trying to improve on that side of the ball.

778
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: So I like it. I hope that's true. I hope

779
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: we do have the advantage and help the Seahawks go

780
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: ahead and get things going. Next matchup, we're looking at

781
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and Tyler Locke versus Packs, Patrick Certain and

782
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: Justice Stents. Now, DK Megacalf, no introduction needed, we know

783
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: who this man is. Gatorade commercials, podcasts everywhere. Seventy five receptions,

784
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: nine sixty seven and twelve touchdowns last year, Tyler logging

785
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: is consistent low Ki superstar in the league, Seventy three receptions,

786
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards and eight touchdowns. Big ups to Tyler

787
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: Locket being announced as team captain as well. I think

788
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: it is well deserved. Now the other side, flip side,

789
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: Patrick's seerteen fifty fourteen passes defended, foreign receptions, Justin Simmons

790
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: eighty tackles, one and a half Sex twelve passes defended. Now,

791
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: these are some of the biggest playmakers on the field. Now,

792
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: ball is in the air, whether they're throwing to a

793
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: Seahawk or a Bronco was defending. You gotta look at

794
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: these matchups and say this could determine the game. Right. Defensively,

795
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: we know that you want to cost turnovers and the

796
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: Hawks probably will not throw the ball over twenty five times,

797
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: but what they do, these guys are gonna be lurking

798
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: looking to make plays. And then you talk about DK

799
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett because they're not going to throw that

800
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: ball as much as they would when Wilson was here.

801
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: They got to look to make explo plays every time

802
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: that they can. So I pictured this this game, Nass

803
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: being a grinder for a little bit, run the football

804
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: being conducted, then boom, you take a shot. Now who

805
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: comes down with the football? Is it DK is a

806
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: Locket or is it these other young men on the

807
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: other side of the football. Yeah? No, Certain is a

808
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: great football player. He had four interceptions last year, Justin

809
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: Simmons five interceptions. These guys take the ball away and

810
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: Certain is gonna be a dude that's gonna be. He's

811
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a main staying in this league for a

812
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: long time. I think he's gonna be a perennial pro bowler,

813
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: all Pro type guy. But man, I would love if

814
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm a quarterback from Geno Smith. I break that huddle,

815
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: I get in my cadence, I look to my left,

816
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: I see fourteen out Why to look to my right?

817
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: I got sixteen on the other side. Take I'm taking

818
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: that advantage of all day long? Are you kidding me?

819
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: Dk metcalf is an absolute freak. Tyler Lockett is one

820
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: of the most underrated rout runners and players in the

821
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: National Football League. I think it's gonna be really fun matchup.

822
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: It'll be about timing and being on time with your

823
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: throws and the cadence and everything from the quarterbacks and

824
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the play calls and all that stuff. But I'm really

825
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: excited to look at that matchup between those guys. And

826
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: then the other matchup I really want to dive into

827
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: is the defensive backs and the Broncos receivers. Right, so

828
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier. Mike Jackson might be starting

829
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 1: alongside Shriek Woollen. Right, these guys both fifth round picks,

830
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: guys who put into work this preseason showing what they

831
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: can do, and they're out there playing and now they're

832
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: going against Cortland Sutton and Jerry Judy. Those are two

833
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: guys who want to focus on For these guys, and

834
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, Man Duke and Ball. He's six or four

835
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: runs a four or five forty, but when I look

836
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: at him, he's game speed bump like he to me,

837
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: he looks faster than that. Last year he had fifty

838
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: eight receptions, seven hundred and seventy six yards two touchdowns.

839
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: But when I watch him, he's physical. He'll make you miss.

840
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: He can go over the top, but he runs a

841
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of intermediate stuff and he'll run that slant. He'll

842
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: just kind of body of if he can run a

843
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: hitch and getting getting there tight. But this is gonna

844
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,879
Speaker 1: be in Jared Judy Alabama. Boy dude can fly. So

845
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great test for the Seahawks defensive

846
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: backs right away in week one. And that's what you want, honestly,

847
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean you don't. It's a gift and a curse. Right.

848
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: You can come out the first week and you could

849
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: go against a receiver corps that is average up below

850
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: average and get your feet wet, and that's the way

851
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: to get your introduction to the NFL. Or you can

852
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: get thrown into the fire, you know what I mean.

853
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: And sometimes that's the best way to do it because

854
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: you have no moment to relax, You have no time

855
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: just to chill and take a playoff. I don't think

856
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: these guys would, but there's a difference when you're going

857
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: up against a different caliber talent. So I'm interested to see,

858
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: like these guys are gonna make plays. This is the

859
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: National Football League. You're not gonna shut a guy out

860
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: completely removing from the game. I ain't seen a DVD

861
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: that since number twenty one Dean Sanders was out there

862
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: doing it, or maybe Champ Bailey. You know, there's there's

863
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: certain guys who can do it. The guy like Trigg

864
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: Woolling and Kobe Bryant there. This is a learning process,

865
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: so it's good. I love the challenge for these guys

866
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: right out the game against a Portland Sutton who's a

867
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: baller and Jerry Judy. Another matchup this is um Is

868
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: this the most the second most anticipated matchup? I mean

869
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: because we've seen we talked about the act some balls

870
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, right, what's gonna happen there? This matchup?

871
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny versus the Denver front seven. Now ra Shop

872
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: Penny beat on himself this year signed a one year

873
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: deal and says, you know what, I appreciate Seattle for

874
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: taking chances on me. I've dealt with injury throughout my

875
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: whole career and they never gave up on me. I

876
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: finished the season strong nant year. Let me prove it

877
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: this year that I can do it. Signed this one

878
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: year deal and go out and get it now. He

879
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: led the NFL with six point twenty nine rushing yard average,

880
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: the second highest and franchise history. Russell rush for seven

881
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: point one in twenty fourteen. Had eight rushes of twenty

882
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: five plus yards last year. That's tied for first with

883
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, a Pro bowler, one of the best running

884
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: backs in the league. And he didn't have the carries

885
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: that Jonathan Tad had because he was injured. So that's

886
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the anticipation to see if Rashad Penny can

887
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: duplicate what he did last year and continue to be healthy.

888
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: I heard him in the press the other day he goes, look,

889
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: this is the best my body has ever felt. And

890
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: I believe him. I mean, he's been heavy, he's been injured,

891
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: he's been all over the or now, so this is

892
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: a match as well. I'm looking forward to seeing can

893
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny one get the tough yard is running in

894
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: between the tackles and then still be the explosive guy

895
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: in outside the tackles that we saw it in the season. Absolutely.

896
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean last year, we know he was the best

897
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League running the football. He showed

898
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: why he's a first round pick. He showed everything that

899
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: the Seahawks saw when they drafted him. He was durable,

900
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: he was healthy, he was reliable, and yeah, you're right

901
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks offense to go this year, it's about

902
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: number twenty. He is gonna he's gonna keep this thing

903
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: moving behind that offensive line. He's a home run thread

904
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: anytime he touches the ball. So I'm really excited about that.

905
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: And on the other side, Denver, they're about middle of

906
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 1: the pack stop in the run fifteen, allowing one hundred

907
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: and eleven yards per game. So I'm hoping that Rashad

908
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: Penny runs all over those boys. But you know that

909
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: time and his bump is time for path to victory.

910
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: At the forty five, waits for the staff, Michael Dickson

911
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,959
Speaker 1: puts it down. That kick is away. If that kick

912
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 1: is God, it's a path to victory. On Hawk Talk

913
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: after the three month they gotta treat Monday Night like

914
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: it's any other game. There's a lot of noise, a

915
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: lot of hype. I'm seeing all the promos in the ESPN,

916
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: the return of Russell Wilson all this stuff, It's gonna

917
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: be talked about all week long on ESPN everywhere. You

918
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: have a national spotlight on Monday night, everyone was looking

919
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: at you guys. But like Pete Carroll says, every game

920
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: is a championship game, and they treat it that way

921
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: and don't get sucked into the hype. Good things will

922
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: happen on Monday. They also gotta get after Russell Wilson man.

923
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: They gotta be aggressive on defense. Put him on his butt.

924
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I need like four, five, six, seven sacks against Russell

925
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: Wilson Man. He's not the young spring chickeny Ones was

926
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: where He's gonna run everywhere. Still babble still can get

927
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: a dem But you gotta put him on his butt

928
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: and keep everything in front of you. Russell loves to

929
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: throw the ball deep, one of the prettiest deep balls

930
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: in the game. We got to witness it for ten years.

931
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: Keep it all in front of you, all right, to

932
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: rig Woollen, flit those hips, baby, let him get behind you,

933
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: Kwan Dre help him out, stay over the top. Do

934
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: whatever you can to eliminate what Russa's best. Just throw

935
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: the ball DP absolutely, and kind of going off the

936
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: theme that I said earlier, Gino, just go be you Dodd, Gino.

937
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: You are Gino, You're a good football player. You wanted

938
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: the starting job for a reason. The offense is now,

939
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: this is your offense. You're at the gear that got

940
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: the keys to the car. Just play within yourself. Everyone's

941
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: got faith in and you can get that done. And then,

942
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: like we just finished in our last matchup, run the ball,

943
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: be physical, you run the ball. Rosie Penny goes off

944
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty some yards. Again, it's gonna

945
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: be a good day for the Seahawks. Serve Twelves, I

946
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: gotta go crazy, give him something to go crazy about.

947
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: Get it rocking over there, and littleman go one and oh,

948
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, cliche. One game at a time,

949
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: one snap at a time, one drive at a time.

950
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm gonna say it because that's really
