Now here's 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: your host, Nasa Chuby. Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk, 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: this time the preview edition. As a Seahawks head into 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Week six looking at bounce back after that loss against 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks are back at home 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: taking on the Arizona Cardinals for a little NFC West showdown. 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: But before we get into those Cardinals, I think I'd 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: be remiss if I didn't start here talk about an 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: all time favorite Seahawk is coming back. You remember the 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: name from the Legion of boom years, Bruce Irvin is 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: back with a team, signing with the practice squad earlier 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: this week. The former first round pick played with Seattle 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: from twenty twelve to twenty fifteen Super Bowl champ then, 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: if you remember, came back to Seattle in twenty twenty, 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: was the Seahawks starting strong side linebacker before he tours 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: ACL that season after playing just two games, which was 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: a real bummer. But anyway, he's back with Seattle on 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: the practice squad. But I wouldn't be surprised if he 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: saw him up to the active fifty three man roster 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: at some point this year. So, Bumpo, what do you 30 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: when you see Bruce Irvan coming in on that defensive side, 31 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: what does that make you think? It makes me think 32 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: that this defense needs a little bit of veteran leadership. 33 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: You know, they need some guidance. They need a guy 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: who knows how to be a pro, the guy who's 35 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: been here and who's done them, and he's not just 36 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: here just to teach, Like they expect this man to 37 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: play and to make some plays. I know people see 38 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: that he's thirty five and they're saying, well, he's gonna 39 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: be a straight mentor. No, that's part of his job, 40 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: but the other part of his job is to play football. 41 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: So no, I'm excited about the hire. I think guys, 42 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: guys can learn from him. And it is always always 43 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: nice when when dudes come home. You know what I mean. 44 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, And he said as much that 45 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: Seattle always felt like home, and know guys like mo 46 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: Kelly would tell him that grass isn't always greener on 47 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: the other side, he went to Oakland, played for Chicago 48 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: a couple other stops along the way, so he always 49 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 1: considered Seattle home. So it's good to see him back. 50 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Actually saw him in the locker room and he came back. 51 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: He said, what's up to him? And he said, all right, 52 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: you still here chasing players around. I said, yep, the 53 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: same old thing. So good to see Bruce Irvin back 54 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: with the squad. Let's get back into those Arizona Cardinals. 55 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: What's on tap? What's on tap? Cardinals two in three 56 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: on the season, second place in the NFC West. I 57 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: changed it up, bump, that would also be tied for last, 58 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: depending on how you look it added, but the Seahawks 59 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: are also two in three, so I thought tied for 60 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: second was a little bit sounds like that. Yeah, man. 61 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: So they've had a kind of an up and down 62 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: year and haven't strung any wins or losses together. They 63 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: lost their opener to Kansas City, kind of got smacked 64 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: in that one, beat the Raiders in thrilling fashion, assisted 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: by two hundred red for a fumbles. They went an overtime, 66 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: crazy little game there. They play the Rams, lose to 67 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: them twenty to twelve, beat the Carolina Panthers twenty six 68 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: to sixteen, then lost this last week to the Philadelphia Eagles. 69 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: So much like the Seahawks, They've had some really good moments, 70 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: some really bad moments, and just kind of in between. 71 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: They don't Other than the first week, they haven't really 72 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: been blown out a ton. But Sunday was a heartbreak. Boy, 73 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: Sunday was a heartbreak as they lost on matt Emmondolah 74 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: miss game time field goal twenty two seconds slept in regulation. 75 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: The Eagles approved to five and oh and are the 76 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: only undefeated team in the NFL. First time the Eagles 77 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: have been five and os. It's two thousand and four 78 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: when they went to the Super Bowl with McNabb bump, 79 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, what do you see with this Eagles? In 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: Cardinals game on Sunday one. I feel old because two 81 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: thousand and four I was my senior year in high 82 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: school in Donovan mcnabble was that guy back in the day. 83 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: So Eagles doing some things that haven't happened in a 84 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: long time. But it's the same thing with the Cardinals. 85 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: It seems like they always start slow. They haven't scored 86 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: in the first quarter all season, and that happened here. 87 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: The Eagles went up fourteen. Oh and there it was 88 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: behind two Russian testdowns from Jalen Hurts, who I'm excited 89 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: for Jalen Hurts. He's on our schedule this year, is he? 90 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: So don't have to worry about him all right? Perfect, 91 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: So I can really be excited for him until the 92 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: playoffs get down. But it's nice to see him do 93 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: the same. But and then they closed the gap a bit. 94 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: The Cardinals man Marky's Brown had one of the more 95 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: impressive touchdowns of the year with this one man he 96 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: was in the slod caught, the ball, goes across the middle, 97 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: breaks the tackle, makes another guy miss puts on the Jets. 98 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Hollywood. Brown made some plays. It was fun 99 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: to see him do that. But I'm hoping that we 100 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: corral and lock this young man up. Yeah, he was 101 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: definitely making plays. It's definitely a highlight worthy relay if 102 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: you want to go back and watch that, you know. 103 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: But as that game winning the fourth quarter, the Cardinals 104 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: tie the score up at seventeen with eleven yard run 105 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: from n O. Benjamin. We'll get into the running back 106 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: situation for the Cardinals later in the show, but it 107 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: is a disaster at the moment. The Eagles would answer, 108 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: going on a seventeen play seventy yard drive with a 109 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: field goal, making the score twenty to seventeen. They took 110 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: about nine minutes off the clock, so a minute forty 111 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: five left in the game. Cardinals get the ball back. 112 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: They drive deep into Eagles territory and Bumba ask you 113 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: this game management here. So it's a second and ten 114 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 1: from the Philly thirty four. Murray slides down just short 115 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: of the first down. They think they get the first down, 116 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: they're actually short. Time is running down, so they decided 117 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: to spike it on third down. They have to bring 118 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: out the field goal kicker. He obviously goes on to 119 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: miss that field goal. Do you think that's what do 120 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: you think about that great game? Management situation. I know 121 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: it's tough with the first sound, no first down, with 122 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: no timeouts. Do would you tried to run a play there? 123 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: Or do you've agreed with the spike in that situation? 124 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: You know what, I personally, I think I would try 125 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: to run a play and then spike it. I think 126 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: that there has to be something in your offense to 127 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: where you can signal a playout to your to your 128 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: offense and they know to get lineup and running, or 129 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and call of playing get out there. Me personally, 130 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: I would I would run a play then spike it. 131 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: You get a couple more players out of that, you 132 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: can try to win this ball game instead of goal 133 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: for the time. But I don't think he's wrong. I 134 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: don't think he's wrong. I mean, that's a safe bet 135 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: me sideline coach, couch, champion of the world. I can 136 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: come out and say all the things I would have done, 137 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: but I'm not in that position. So that's what I 138 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: would have done. But I don't think he was wrong 139 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: for doing what he did. Yeah, hindsights always twenty twenty 140 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: or fifty fifty if you're Cam Newton, doesn't really matter. 141 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: But so the Cardinals obviously lose the game. They're now 142 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: owing three at home and two and on the road. 143 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: They have some crazy home splits right now. I feel 144 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: like they've lost like eight and a row at home 145 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: and they're really a really good road team, so it's 146 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: it's crazy. And fifteen and four on the road in 147 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: the last two seasons, that's insane, Like usually there's a 148 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: correlation or like no, usually teams that are that good 149 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: on the road are just good teams in general. Obviously, 150 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: the Cardinals will go to the playoffs last year, but 151 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: they haven't been like a world beaters recently, so that's 152 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: very interesting and a crazy split that we hope does 153 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: not carry over to Sunday and finish up on that game, 154 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Calmary was mostly hell in check. He was twenty eight 155 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: to forty two for two fifty and one touchdown win interception. 156 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: Carried the ball four times for forty two yards. James 157 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: Conner team's leading rusher with nine carries in fifty five yards. 158 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: So bumb let's get back into this kind of head 159 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: to head matchup. We definitely have enough of a sample 160 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: size to look at it. And when I'm juiced about 161 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: right now, and I'll start positive. I'll let you, unfortunately 162 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: talk about the negative here in a second, but I 163 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: appreciate that you bad. I got you do. But the 164 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: positive is the Seahawks offense. Man, they have jumped into 165 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: the top tier of the NFL after we saw them 166 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: after that San Francisco game kind of down in the dumps. 167 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: They're the number eight ranked NFL offense right now, which 168 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: is great given it going for three hundred and sixty 169 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: eight yards per game, twelfth ranked rushing offense one hundred 170 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: and twenty two yards per game, eleventh ranked pass offense 171 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six yards per game, and they're 172 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: scoring seventh best in the NFL at twenty five points 173 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: per game. It'll help when you score thirty five, when 174 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: you score forty, and you score all these type of points. 175 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: So the Seahawks offense has things rolling. On the opposite side, 176 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, they're very middle of the pack. They're not 177 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: really bad, they're not really good. They're very in the middle. 178 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: Fifteenth ranked offense total, seventeenth on running the ball, seventeen 179 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: passing the ball, eighteenth in points per game. So the 180 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: Seahawks definitely, I feel like, have the advantage the Seahawks 181 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: have a lot more explosive plays than the Cardinals do 182 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: when you stick at their offenses compared comparatively. But really 183 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: like to see what I saw to the Seahawks just 184 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: volting up these charts and showing what they can do offensively, Yeah, 185 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and defensively, man, this is it's weird to say. I 186 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: know that we've had years where this team has struggled 187 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: on defense, but they are the worst defense in the league, 188 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: giving a four under thirty yards a game. They are 189 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: the worst team against the run, giving up a buck seventy, 190 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: and there are twenty six against the past giving up 191 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: two fifty nine. So, needless to say, I didn't even 192 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: need to read those stats. You wouldn't know just by 193 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: watching the games that the Hawks got some work to do. 194 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: That's why you're bringing a guy like Bruce Irvin. Hopefully 195 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna help get some things around the field. On 196 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: the other side, the Cardinals middle of the road. Just 197 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, their offense their seventeenth overall, the fifth 198 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: excuse me, they're the seventeenth defense overall, giving up three 199 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: forty five. They're fifth against run, giving up ninety seven, 200 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: which should be interesting. We don't have Rashod Penny this 201 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: week to get to see what ken Walker and DJ 202 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Dallas do. They're twenty first against the past and twenty 203 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: second when it comes to points allowed. So again, I 204 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: look at at these numbers and I know we can 205 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: focus on the defense to say, yes, they're thirty second, 206 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: but there's not thirty second defense type talent on the 207 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: football field. And that's why I remain optimistic. Call me crazy, 208 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: call me insane, whatever. I see the guys out there 209 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's no way this trend will continue. Yeah, no, 210 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: that's definitely I'm right there with you, mom, There's no way. Honestly, 211 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: when you look at the guys like you mentioned, we 212 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: got guys like Quandre dig still out there, al Wood 213 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: still making plays, Jordan Brooks is coming along, you know 214 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Chenel Wosi's killing it, the rookie Tarik 215 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: Woolling is making plays. Kobe Bryant. So there's the pieces 216 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: are there. We just gotta fix up the runfits up 217 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: front and get that front seven playing a little better. 218 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: But I do left face like you said that they 219 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: can get this ship corrected. All right, Let's know the history, No, 220 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: your history Seattle leads the all time series against the 221 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: Cardinals twenty three to twenty two in one, so it's 222 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: a very close matchup. The Seahawks have one two for 223 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: the last three meetings, however, in five of the last eight. 224 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Last this year, the Seahawks went down to the Desert 225 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals thirty eight to thirty in the final 226 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: game of the twenty twenty one season. Also ended up 227 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: being the final game for Russell Wilson in a Seahawks uniform. 228 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: Really good day by Russell Tyler Andershot Penny. Rashad Penny 229 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: had one hundred and niney yards and twenty three carries, 230 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: including a sixty three yard touchdown. Tyler Lockett was doing 231 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: his thing five receptions nine eight yards, two touchdowns, and 232 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, the last game as a Seahawk, went fifteen 233 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: of twenty six for two thirty eight, three touchdowns one pick. 234 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: He also had a rushing touchdown and Jordan Brooks was 235 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: all over their field with twenty tackles two TFLs. And 236 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: when I think about Rashade Penny, man, I'm still my 237 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: heart still hurts for the dude today. Man, Yeah, just 238 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: thinking about how much work he did how far he's come. 239 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: No one has been through that I can think of 240 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: in recent memory that kind of trauma and from an 241 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: injury standpoint, everything he's been through and just been humbled 242 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: and done everything he could to get back and finally 243 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: was doing what he was capable of consistently. So to 244 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: see him go down really breaks their heart. So Rashad 245 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: prayers up to you. I hope you get better, Assume, 246 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: my guy, But man, we need to see more of 247 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: this history. The recent history has been good for the Seahawks, 248 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: so we hope that continues this weekend. But let's find 249 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: out what happened elsewhere in the division. What's the word? 250 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are the NFC West champs? Again, what's the 251 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: word in the West? On Hot Talk? There's only one 252 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: team in the West where they win in record right 253 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: now that it's the San Francisco forty nine Ers. They 254 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: are three and two, the Seahawks two and three, Rams 255 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: are two and three, and Cardinals are two and three. 256 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Another tough week in the NFC West, all these guys losing. 257 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: Like I said, the forty niners were the only one 258 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: to come out victorious. And how did they do that? 259 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: They went to Carolina, and they got it done. It 260 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: wasn't a blowout, but the forty nine ers were in 261 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: control of this whole thing. They won thirty seven, two fifteen. 262 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: San Francisco's defense, it's some special, all right. They've only 263 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: allowed thirty seven points through four games and now have 264 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: held all opponents to fewer than twenty points. Man, this 265 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: is crazy. The Niners got away with it earlier at 266 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: the panther Des Troil ten to three late in the 267 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: second quarter, and appeared to gain some life after a 268 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: block field goal Tribe, but then Mayfield, doing what Mayfield 269 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: does from time to time, he missed McCaffrey and then 270 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: there was a picked an interception, got up race to 271 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: the end zone. Forty nine Ers seventeen to three lead 272 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: with fifty five seconds left and a half Baker Mayfield 273 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: was held in check. Not a horrible day and now 274 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: a great day. Twenty thirty six two fifteen, zero touchdowns, 275 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: one interception, but he was sacked four times. That Niners 276 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: defense is real. You combine that with some shaky play 277 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: by Baker Mayfield, that defense continues to dominate. Yeah, they're 278 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: scary good. I mean, the Seahawk fans got a clear 279 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: picture of that when we went down there and played 280 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: them in Week two. They're legit. They're gonna do a 281 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: lot of things. Fred Warner Bosa. They have a lot 282 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: of dudes out there. They're dealing without injuries right now. 283 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: Mosley actually looked like he went down and I think 284 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: he tours Aye, so I think he's out for the year, 285 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: which is a brutal hit for them. But they're really skilled. 286 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: They're flying around. When the Seahous play them again in December, 287 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: I'd be really interested to see how that matchup goes 288 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: because this offense looks a lot different than the offense 289 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: we saw in that rain. He kind of sloppy day 290 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, but the Niners are for real, so 291 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. Defensively, Obviously, Jimmy Jimmy G 292 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: eighteen and thirty two fifty three, two touchdowns, a very 293 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,119 Speaker 1: Jimmy G light game. He didn't have any horrible turnovers. 294 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: So the Niners have to bounce back. See what happens 295 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: with injuries. Like I said, Nick Bosa left the game 296 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: with tightness, Jimmy Ward broke his hand, and Mosley had 297 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: a twenty cels, So we'll see how they were covered 298 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: from that and then the other game U Rams Cowboys. 299 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys are again. Yeah, I hate to say it, but 300 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: they're a better team than I thought. And they don't 301 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: even have Dak Prescott man right, it's impressive. They got 302 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of players and Marcus Lawrence and that defense 303 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: is pretty good. So it was a long day for 304 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: the Rams offense. On the third play from scrimmad Shafford 305 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: is sacked, fumbles Marks Lawrence went to a back nineteen 306 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: our touchdown, boom right right away off top. Then they 307 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: block a punt. They go up nine. Nothing. Rams did 308 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: make things interesting for a little bit. Stafford found who else, 309 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: Cooper cup seventy five yard touchdown. I mean, my goodness. 310 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: So they actually took the lead, but that was the 311 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: last time they would score. Cowboys answered back with Tony 312 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Pollard fifty seven yard touchdown, making it sixteen ten at 313 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: a half, and then in the second half turnovers we're 314 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: definitely deciding factor. Rams turnover three times, Cowboys don't turn 315 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: over once. This wasn't because of production from Cooper Rush. 316 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: I'll say that he's definitely managing the game. I don't 317 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: want any of that nonsense about a quarterback controversy. He 318 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: was ten or sixteen, one hundred and two yards, zero touchdown, 319 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: zero interceptions. On the other side, Matthew Stafford twenty eight 320 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: to forty two three o eight one touchdown, win, interception, 321 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: two fumbles lost in five sacks. Bump. We know how 322 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: good Stafford is. He's a former Super Bowl champion, right, 323 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: we know what he's capable of. But one thing I 324 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: will say, when things are bad for that man, they 325 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: are bad. They are bad. Yeah, when it rains and 326 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: pours over there in La for Matthew Stafford and the 327 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: Rams and this all fans would all with Big Vay 328 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: Cooper and all the other talent that they have. They 329 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: are twenty ninth when it comes to points per game. 330 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: They're averaging sixteen points per game, which is nuts to me. 331 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: You look at the Hawks averaging twenty five game. So 332 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: it's weird to say that because you know that the 333 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: Rams they're still a good football team. Like numbers can 334 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: trick you a little bit, but there's one thing that 335 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: is consistent. If you can fluster Matthew Stafford, he will 336 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: give up the football. And that's what we've seen so far. 337 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: So you know, I am at if they took a loss, 338 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: so keep being interesting in the West. I'm all right 339 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, No, that's the one thing, that one 340 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: saving grace about the Seahawks losing last week. You look 341 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: around the NCUS and other people are struggling. So Seahawks 342 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: are definitely very much still in that division hunt. So 343 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: which takes us back to their Arizona Cardinals where this 344 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: weekend's matchup, Man up is this whole man up on 345 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Hawk Talk Kyler Murray Bump the only way to start 346 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: for this Arizona Cardinals team, because this is what happens 347 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: with them. He runs everything through that offensive. He stopped him. 348 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: He stopped the Cardinals. But he's had kind of an 349 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: interesting year. He's had an interesting year. He signed that 350 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: huge contract worth up the two hundred and thirty million 351 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: dollars one hundred and sixty million guaranteed. Everything's all good. 352 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: Then we learn about the little homework independent study clause 353 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: where he's got a complete at least four hours of 354 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: independent study. And you know he couldn't He wouldn't get 355 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: credit for this study if he wasn't, you know, doing 356 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: what was supposed to do. He couldn't be watching TV, 357 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: can be playing video games can be surfing the internet. 358 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: Surfing the Internet. I love how that was in the contract. 359 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: The Internet. Come on, man, surfing the net. Bro www 360 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: dot no. I mean, this obviously blew up in the 361 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: media and the Cardinals took it out of the contract 362 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: after the fact. I think they put it behind them, 363 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: but it just was an unnecessary thing that kind of 364 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: was in a cloud leading into the season. On the field, 365 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: Murray's having a pretty good year. One forty one for 366 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: two fifteen one, two hundred and forty one yards, six touchdowns, 367 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: three interceptions, been sacked seven times. On the ground twenty 368 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: eight carries, one hundred and thirty three yards and two touchdowns. 369 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: I've seen him make some really incredible plays. I've seen 370 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: him make some head scratching ones, but he still has 371 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: that potential. He's been a guy that we've talked about 372 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: a lot in this podcast over the years, trying to 373 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: struggle to really figure out who he is as an 374 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. And he's on the good side. He's not 375 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: elite yet, he's on his way there, so it'll be 376 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: interesting to continue to watch him play. But he's a 377 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: guy that's for me. I don't I'm not ready to 378 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: crown him yet because I still there's a lot there. 379 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: But he does so many good things and continues to 380 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: keep plays alive and could be really dangerous if you 381 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: do not contain him. So the Seahawks defense will definitely 382 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: have their hands full. It's about potential. It's potential to 383 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: score a sixty yard touchdown with his feet are through 384 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: the air. It's the potential of him scrambling and making 385 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: something out of nothing. That's the all script stuff. You 386 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: combine that with his natural talent, then you could you 387 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: see where he could go. But he ain't there yet, 388 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: but he's definitely a dangerous player. Our next matchup, Gino 389 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: Smith versus Cardinals defense. Gino is still balling. I'm buying stock, 390 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: buying land at Gino, Gino Land, whatever I gotta do 391 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: to help convince people that this guy is for real. 392 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: Lead's NFL complete percentage an average seventy five percent of 393 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: passes he's completing. He also leads NFL and pass rating 394 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: one thirteen point one. His stats for this year, he's 395 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: one eighteen for one fifty seven thirteen hundred and five yards, 396 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: nine touchdown, two intercessions. Now, according to a Pro Football Focus, 397 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: he is the highest rated quarterback through five weeks with 398 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: a ninety point too. This is ridiculous. I was not 399 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: expecting this. I feel like I'm saying this every week. 400 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start expecting it now. This is this 401 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: is who he is. He's proving it. Gino has the 402 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: offense on fire. After not scoring a touchdown in Week 403 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: two against the Nineers, the Seahawks now have the NFL's 404 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: best eighth best office NFL sorry, NFL's eight eighth best 405 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: offense in the league three six y yards per game. 406 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: And how is he doing it. He's doing it with composure, 407 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: He's doing it with making tough throws. He's checking out 408 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It's not like, now you gotta 409 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: get Shane Waldron credit because he's drawing these plays up 410 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: and he's communicating with Gino in a way that allows 411 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: him to understand exactly what he can and can't do 412 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: and where the ball should go. But end of the day, 413 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: he has a ball in his hands and he's got 414 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: to make the final decision, and so far he's been 415 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: making some great decisions. Team Geno, I mean, there's nothing 416 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: else to say. We could we could spit out every 417 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: single number. Everything he's done that's never been done before, 418 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: it's been crazy. Geno is the man. He'll have, you know, 419 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: his handsful because the Cardinals are a defense that is 420 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: that is fast, the middle of the pack statistic wise. 421 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: But they'll run up to the line of scrimmage, we'll 422 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: try to confuse you, they'll blitz, they'll drop people back 423 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: in coverage. You got Buddha Baker and some other guys 424 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: that will talk about there, so it'll be interesting. But 425 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: like you said, Mine Stock on Gino Land, I'd love 426 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: to be the mayor because that man is a baller. 427 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: Looking on the Arizona Cardinals offensive side of things, looking 428 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: at the running back room right now, thinking about James 429 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: Connor and I know Benjamin taking on the Seahawks front seven, 430 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: you know the Cardinals running back room is in tough 431 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: shape after that Eagle's loss. Kingsbury has never had this 432 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: happen where all through running backs get hurt in that game. 433 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: James Connor left of the the rib injury, Darrel Williams standing 434 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: knee injury, Jonathan Ward hurt his hamstring. So Monday as 435 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: a Monday, all those running backs for day to day, 436 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Williams is out now, we're still waiting 437 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: to see about Connor depending on who is available. James 438 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: Connor stats on the year fifty four carries two hundred 439 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: yards in one touchdown, also has fourteen receptions one hundred 440 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: and three yards. Benjamin has thirty carries for one thirty 441 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: six in a touchdown, twelve receptions in ninety seven yards. 442 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: Third leading rushers Colin Murray twenty eight carries for one 443 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards and two touchdowns, and then 444 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: you have Daryl Williams sixteen carries ninety four yards one touchdown. 445 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: They had to sign a couple of the running backs 446 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: from the practice squad to kind of make this thing work. 447 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: So that'll be a thing that we're looking forward to 448 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: you or what happens at the end of the week, 449 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: who's playing running back that at the end of the 450 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: day month, it's not about who the Cardinals have on 451 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: their offense. It's not about what they're doing running the football. 452 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: It's about what the Seahawks are doing. You mentioned earlier 453 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have the worst rushing defense in the NFL, 454 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: and they're so much better than that. So this is 455 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: a week about them figuring out their run fits because 456 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals aren't a team at least on paper that 457 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: you shake in your boots about the run game. James 458 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: Connor's physical, they can get things done. Don't get me wrong. 459 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're a slout or anything to be disrespectful, 460 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: but I'm saying this is a game where you should 461 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: be able to get right because that's not their running game, 462 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: isn't what they necessarily, you know, hang their hat on. 463 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: So that's the one thing it'll be interesting to see 464 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: moving forward and to see us and get it because 465 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: they definitely want to improve there. Yep, you gotta get 466 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: better in the I guess the run and this could 467 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: be the week to do that. Now on the outside, 468 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: you gotta look at Marky's Brown, zach Ertz, aj Green. 469 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be going against to Rig Woollin, Mike Jackson 470 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: and already Burns and now we know DeAndre Hopkins is 471 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: suspending for Peeds. So the allt of the focus has 472 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: been on Hollywood Brown and he's done a good job 473 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: thirty eight receptions, four seventeen and three touchdowns. Zach Ertz 474 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: is the second leading receiver for these Arizona Cardinals. He 475 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: has twenty receptions for twenty twenty nine yards and two touchdowns. 476 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: And then Greg Dortch am I saying that, right, he's 477 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: a number three receiver with twenty one receptions, sounds good, 478 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: two or four and one touchdown. AJ Green, I didn't 479 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: know what they thought they were gonna get out of 480 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: AJ Green. He stores the end of the rope. He has. 481 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: He missed a game because of an injury. He has 482 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: eight receptions for forty nine yards, zero touchdowns. But a 483 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: guy like AJ Green is good for like one or 484 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: two games a year where he'll do something that's gonna 485 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: surprise you. So that's why it's important that Brig Woollin 486 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: continues to do his things. So far this year, he 487 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: has three interceptions, one touchdown, one block field goal all 488 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: in five games. Man, he has the lowest passer rating. 489 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: Am I saying that right, passer rating aloud, thank you, 490 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: thank you. That's that's why that's why I run on 491 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: this podcast together. You pick me up pretty much. He 492 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: hadn't allowing no passes, allowing passes, but man, it's hard. 493 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: That's six some months all qbs. He is six some 494 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: months all kibs, which comes to passer rating. He's balling 495 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: out and he's a guy that's gonna be Rookie of 496 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: the Year. I saw today on Twitter who has done 497 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: him from love Baldy breakdowns, Brian Balding, NFL Networker's starting 498 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: him some love because he's the guy who should be 499 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: mentioned in this because he aways have a lot of 500 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: rookies quite frankly that should be, you know, up for 501 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: the Rookie of the the Year stuff. So love to see 502 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: them balling on the outside for the Seahawks. DK Metcalf 503 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett taken on Byron Murphy Marco Wilson. You obviously 504 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: have Buddha Baker looming in that secondary as well. Every 505 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 1: week it seems like DK and Tyler are setting records. 506 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: DK scored to thirty first receiving touchdown last week Time 507 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: and see large and for third place all time for 508 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: the most touchdowns in the first four seasons and franchise history. 509 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: Lockett passed Dog Baldwin for fifth place on Seattle's all 510 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: time touchdown list with fifty. So these dudes are balling out. 511 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: DK twenty in receptions, three seventy two two touchdowns on 512 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: the year, Locket thirty two receptions, four hundred and six 513 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. But Locke, he be owning these 514 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals for real. Yes, he does. Last four games, 515 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: thirty three receptions, four hundred and eighty yards and six touchdowns. 516 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: WHOA that includes a game we had two hundred yards. 517 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: We had another game well over one hundred yards. So 518 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett owns these dudes. So it'll be interesting to 519 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: see Byron Murphy. We know he's a great player. Out 520 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: of you, dub got nineteen tackles on the year, three 521 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: tdfls and one pass defense. Marco Wilson, who has struggled 522 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: at times this year, twenty tackles, one TfL, two pass defended. 523 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: This is matchup. I think our receivers can get loose, 524 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: definitely against his Cardinal team. So it'll be interesting to 525 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: see these guys moving forward. But with the way the 526 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: offense is playing right now, I'll take that matchup with 527 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: the Seahawks receivers all day long. YEP. I'll take it. 528 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: Next matchup, Ken Walker versus the Cardinals front seven. He 529 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: was drafted in the second round, forty first overall, and 530 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: he's got some big shoes. But Rashod Pinny was some 531 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: really good football before he went down. Now, Ken Walker's 532 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: first touchdown for Michigan, say who was a seventy yard touchdown, 533 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: first touchdown for Seahawks a sixty nine yard touchdown. So 534 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say he's about to 535 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 1: go off. He's already doing some things that he did 536 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: at Michigan Stay. So far this year, he has twenty 537 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: three carries for one forty six and one touchdown. The 538 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: Hawks had the twelfth best rushing attack in the league 539 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: at one hundred and twenty two yards per game. It's 540 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. We know that the Cardinals got 541 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: some talent and that front seven their fifth against the run, 542 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: averaging ninety seven yards per game. But why not? Why not? Now? 543 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: Gino's gonna help get this young man open, get tight 544 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: ends of get the receivers involved. They gotta spread out 545 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: the run game gets going. Let's see how he does 546 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: going into this game being a solidified starter. I'm excited 547 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: to see there. They're calling him Canine around these parts, 548 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I'm looking forward to 549 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: see Canine getting busy. We saw the rug long run 550 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: against the Saints, so we're definitely looking forward to that 551 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be tough, but I feel like he's 552 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: ready and there's a reason why he was drafted where 553 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: he was drafted. You can never have enough running backs 554 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So good to see him there. 555 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: So we'll see how he takes on that Cardinals front seven. 556 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: But if the Seahawks want to get back in the 557 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: wind calm, let's figure out how they do it. At 558 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: the victory, at the forty five, waits for the snack, 559 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: Michael Dickson puts it down. That kick is away. If 560 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: that kick it's gone, it's a pens to victory. On 561 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: Hawk Talk, thought about defense, Bump. If you want to 562 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: get this done, you gotta contain Kyler Murray. He's gonna 563 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: add live, he's gonna make plays, but he just can't 564 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: go off. You need to be disciplined when you're rushing 565 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: the guy, keeping him in the pocket. You're making sure 566 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: you're staying in front of receivers. The eventual's all the defense. 567 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: I can't even get the words out. They need to 568 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: be stop the explosive plays. They need to stop the run. 569 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: They can do all the things that they know how 570 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: to do. Needs to start this weekend. Otherwise, culinary could 571 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: have a big day. Explosive place I've been killing. Last 572 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: week we saw a sixty yard played. The week before 573 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: we saw eighty one yard play. Gotta eliminate those, man, 574 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: and how you do that run fits gets where you're 575 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be rallied to the football, tackle, all the 576 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: things that guys are told since when you're playing Pop 577 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: Warner when you're nineteen years old, it still makes sense 578 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: at this level. Oh that, and then Gino, keep doing 579 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: what you're doing. Baby, I am so impressed with this 580 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: dude and how he compose himself running off the field. 581 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: The post game suits are looking nicer every week, like 582 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: he's a legit starting quarterback in this league and feeling 583 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: him love Geno. Gino's done, Manu, Gino, keep it up, Gino. 584 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,239 Speaker 1: If you got any fans in the world right here 585 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: on this Hat Talk podcast, for sure, Gino, we got 586 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: your shot.

I'm excited for the young rookie. He's he's 596 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: a ball player, and I want to see him continue 597 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: to step in there and have this running back now 598 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: or this running back room in this running offense, not 599 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: miss a beat and Tyler Locket number sixteen.

So take care of business. Baby, 603 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: you're still in this there there, they're two and three 604 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: and they're still in the division. Yeah, you can gain 605 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: you can gain a spot if you get rid of 606 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals.
