Last Sunday, 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: he left with a shoulder injury and looked pretty disa 18 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: pointed on the sideline. Here's what head coach Pete Carroll 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: had to say regarding his status for Saturday. Well, he's 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna work through the way. We can see 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: what he can get done and see if he's okay. 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait all the way up to the 23 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: game day, um to figure that out. Jared Reid was 24 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: also banged up, dealing with a court injury that he 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: suffered on Sunday. He has an oblique strain, is what 26 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: he has. And I think it came out it was 27 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: written something else. But um, you know, we're gonna be real, 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, real careful with him during the week and 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: see how he goes on day to day. He's much 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: better than he was on the weekend. So uh, there's 31 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: cause for you know, optimism there. And on the positive side, 32 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: the Seahawks activated Brandon Shell from the COVID list and 33 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: Mike you potty should be back in the lineup on Saturday. 34 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: And finally, for the first time all year, Darryl Taylor 35 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: made it back to practice with his teammates.

Bump, you mentioned, it's playoff time, win 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: or go home Wild Card playoffs. The Rams are up next? 46 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: Who's next? Who's next? The Los Angeles Rams are next. 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: They are ten and six, or were ten and six 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: in the regular season, finished second in the NFC West. 49 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we just did this nast What was 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago we talked about these guys. 51 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: Now they are back round three. They've beating some good teams. 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: They lost to some sorry teams. They lost to the Jets, 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: but then they beat teams like who they beat as 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: a good Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They just they're a team 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: that is inconsistent. But you see the potential in them, like, yeah, 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: they could be good offensively. We know who they are defensively. 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: And last week they beat the Cardinals eighteen to seven 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: and clinched the sixth seed in the NFC playoffs. The 59 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: themat tricked me out with that game. That defense scored 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: nine points. The defense score nine points. They had a 61 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: safety and a pick six that went for eighty four yards. 62 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: They're played with a backup quarterback in Walford God from 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: wake Forest, who hadn't seen the field first time playing 64 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Got off to a rocky start through 65 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: an interception, but he seemed to settle down as the 66 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: game went along. I like that this guy is he's 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: a competitor. You seed it in him. He wants to play, 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: he wants to be out there, but end of the day, 69 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: you're a backup for a reason. Man, all Right. He 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: was twenty two of thirty eight, two hundred and thirty 71 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: one yards, zero touchdowns, one interception. But he can run 72 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: the rock. Yeah, six hairs for fifty six yards. He's 73 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: not bad, nass, but he's not good enough to beat 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks if he does play. Yeah, no question 75 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: about it. I think I watched him and the thing 76 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: that jumped out of me at film as he mentioned 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: his rushing yards is he he has scrambling ability. He 78 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: has big playability. There's three different times and third downs 79 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: where he used his legs to pick up first downs 80 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: and you mentioned it. He wasn't shook, he wasn't rattled. 81 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: He looked like he should belong even though he looks 82 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: like a really young kid. He looked like he could 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: be Sean mcvay's younger brother out there. But no, he 84 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: he looked he looked solid in his first NFL start. 85 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's pretty crazy the journey he's 86 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: been on to get where he got. So, yeah, I 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: think he's a solid quarterback. He's not going to go 88 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: out there and throw seventeen picks. Is he good enough 89 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: to beat the Seahawks defense way they're playing, I don't 90 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I think the way Sean mcvay's 91 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: gonna call games is, you know, he's gonna be out 92 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: there not to win the game. They got that good 93 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: defense man, so he kind of a game manager role 94 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: and he's backed by elite defense. And you mentioned it, 95 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: those ram defense man nine points. They were all over Arizona. 96 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Arizona got shut out for the last fifty 97 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: five minutes of the game. They only held the two 98 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards. But as well as that defense played, 99 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: I think it's really important to mention Kyler Murray barely 100 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: played in that game. Yes, Kyler barely played. He had 101 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: like a leg or ankle injury. Came in late in 102 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: the game to try to save the game. But we 103 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: all and all that goes. You gotta stay in a rhythm. 104 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: He was not in a rhythm. Now, this rams defense 105 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: all right, Hell teams to eighteen point five points per game, 106 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: in two hundred and eighty one yards per game. We 107 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: said it before. They got some guys on that side 108 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: of the football who can get it done. That is 109 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: the strength of their team. This is the best defense 110 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: in the league. Now. They held the rookie for Arizona 111 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: who started Chris Streveler to eleven of sixteen, one hundred 112 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: and five yards, one touchdown, the one pick. And then 113 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: after the game, Aerondondald was talking he wants he wants 114 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: the rematch and he's a competitor, so I appreciate that 115 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: about him. He better hope that Jared Goffer is playing. 116 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: I know, I know that. Like I said, the Hawks 117 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: gonna talk that that that noise, So I'm gonna talking 118 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: form a bit. They better hope that Jared Goff is 119 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: playing because I feel like this team is gonna get spot. 120 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I just look at their heads ahead. Offensively, the Rams 121 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: are eleventh overall, tenth in rush offense, thirteenth when it 122 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: comes to throwing the rock, and twenty third when it 123 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: comes to putting up points. The Seahawks, on the other hand, 124 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: seventeenth overall, and that crazy the way this season started. 125 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Now they're down to seventeenth overall offense, twelfth when it 126 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: comes around the rock, sixteen when we're throwing it in 127 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: eight points per game, averaging twenty eight point seven. This 128 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a seventeenth rank offense. This is because 129 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: of what they've done in the past. The last few weeks. 130 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: You can say, oh, they haven't put up a lot 131 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: of points. I get it, but I feel like they're 132 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: ready to go. They got that what do you call that, 133 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: kinetic energy, potential energy. It's right there right, They are 134 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: ready to go, and I think this is the week 135 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: where they get back on track. No, they got the juice, 136 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: and you're right. When I was putting this together, I 137 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: was like, that's not right. We're not seventeenth. And though 138 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: I mean for the first six, seven, eight weeks of 139 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the year we were looking at we're number one, maybe 140 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: we were two, maybe we were three. Kind of fluctuation. 141 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: But you know, we haven't scored a lot of points 142 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and gained a lot of yards to last, you know, 143 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: over the month of the season, when the exception of 144 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: that Jets game. Yeah, so seventeenth is shocking to look at, 145 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: but we're this offense is so much better than seventeen. 146 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's with the weapons to Seahawks haf between 147 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: Russ and DK and Tyler and Carson and hopefully healthy 148 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: offensive line. I think I think this defense, or excusing 149 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: this offense is built for the playoffs. I think what 150 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: the good thing that they've shown this year is they 151 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: can win any type of way. They can win in 152 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: the shootout. They can win when their defense can't get 153 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: to stop and they got to score forty points. They 154 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: can win when it's a close scoring game and they 155 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,679 Speaker 1: got to win late. They can win shootouts in between. 156 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: So I'm encouraged by that, despite how they looked at 157 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: times against the Niners last week when it was winning time, 158 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: just like they did against the Rams or good in 159 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. So I feel much better about this 160 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: offense than the statistics show. Same thing about the defense. 161 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: And honestly, for the Seahawks defense, we finished the year 162 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: at twenty second in total defense, which honestly is amazing 163 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: considering when they started they were. They weren't only thirty 164 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: second in like week six or seven, they were thirty 165 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: second by a large margin, a large so the fact 166 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: that they climbed up to twenty two. Rust defense has 167 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: been good all year in number five, past defense never 168 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: quite recovered from that. They're still thirty first points allowed 169 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: per game, which was great. They jumped to them halfway 170 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: through the league, essentially fifteen at twenty three points per game, 171 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: and the turnover differential it's lower than Pete Carroll would like, 172 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: considering this program is all about the foot ball. That 173 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: kind of a stretching there where they weren't turning the 174 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: ball over as much and the offense had a lot 175 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: of turnovers. But they're still plus four the Rams, on 176 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: the other hand, in nineties three. So statistically it looks 177 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: like the Rams got the edge. But we know how 178 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: these two teams played last time, you know, if the 179 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: season's really played out, like so, I like where the 180 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: Seahawks are at. I like where they're at. I'm gonna 181 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: talk that talk, but it's gonna be a battle. We 182 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: know how the games go with the Rams. I don't 183 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: care who they have that quarterback. They could have Cooper 184 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: Cup going back to his high school days when he 185 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: had the Cooper Cub package back in Yakima, when he's 186 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: playing varsity football. They always find a way to make 187 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: it interesting. So I think it will be interesting. But 188 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: it's not how you start, it's how you finish. In 189 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: this defense as finished on a high note. Let's get 190 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: this offense going. Now, let's learn about these teams history. No, 191 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: your history. Well, you guys should be pretty familiar with 192 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: the history. Considering we've gone out of this the third time, 193 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: we've kind of revisited, so I'll go through it pretty quick. 194 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: Seahawks lead the all time series twenty five to twenty. 195 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Sean mcvay's five and three against Pete Carroll and it's 196 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: one of five last seven games, but the last one, 197 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: most importantly was the Seahawks winning to clinch the NFC 198 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: West just two weeks ago, beating the Rams at Looming 199 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: Field twenty to nine. Quick refresher on that game, the 200 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: Rams scored nine points. Jared Goff did what he thought 201 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: he would. He turned the ball over an inexplicable pass 202 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: to really only to Condre Digs. The only person could 203 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: have caught that one. He threw for two hundred and 204 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: thirty four yards, didn't throw a touchdown, injured, his thumb 205 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: dislocated it. Props to him. He popped that thing back in, 206 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: finished the game. Obviously had to have surgery to kind 207 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: of stabilize that thumb. But in my opinion month, that 208 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: was the Seahawks best winning twenty twenty. It was the 209 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: most important game they had to win in all three phases, 210 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: and then that's exactly what they did. That's what they did, 211 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: and Hollister got to cap it off with a touchdown 212 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: to seal the deal. We remember last year he came 213 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: up just a little bit short of winning the NFC 214 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: West or the Seattle Seahawks. It's just time to go. Man, 215 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: love the matchup. I think it's gonna be good. Aaron 216 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: Donald's going to be healthy, Leonard Floor is ready, Jalen 217 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: Ramsey is ready. But we got some guys too. Offensive 218 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: line is gonna get healthy. It sounds like Shell might 219 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: be ready to go, so we'll have the band will 220 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: be back together. It is time to go. What's the 221 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: word in the West and the Seahawks are the NFC 222 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: West champs again, what's the word in the West on 223 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: Hawk talk, I'll tell you what the word of the 224 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: West is. Champs are here. M to see West, champs 225 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: are here, Wall card round, It's time to go. Hawks 226 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: finished the season at twelve and four, runs behind him 227 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: at ten and six and Carlinos or eight and eight, 228 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: and the San Francisco forty nine ers get out of 229 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: this thing in six and ten, which is at six 230 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: and ten is kind of impressive. Now. I know they 231 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: didn't end the way they wanted to. I know the 232 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: Hawks is the spies of the forty nineers, but they 233 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: went through a lot of stuff. And if they were 234 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: in the NFAC East, they might have a chance to 235 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: make the playoffs at six and ten him, but this 236 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: is the West, this is not the East. That ain't 237 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: gonna be enough to get it done. The Hawks win 238 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: the West for the first time since sixteen. It feels 239 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: it feels like it's been a whimp. It's what it's 240 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: seen A lot was that three seasons ago. But the 241 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: way things are done out here in Seattle, you used 242 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: to get them what every other year, maybe you win 243 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: a division? Yeah, No, I mean for me personally, twenty 244 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: sixteen feels like forever ago because the following season after 245 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: that we missed the playoffs for the only time in 246 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's tenure. Twenty eighteen, we lose to Dallas actually 247 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: that was two years ago. Today bump and the wildcard playoffs, 248 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: and then the following the last year, you beat Philadelphia 249 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and you lose a heartbreaker to Green Bay in the 250 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: divisional round. So it's it's good for one to win 251 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: any cust title again because that's what these guys talk 252 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: about from the beginning of the year is owned the 253 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: West and it starts there. So it's great to check 254 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: that off and play and get a home playoff game. Yeah, 255 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: there's no fans there, but no travel. Get to sleep 256 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: in your own bed or sleep in the hotel that 257 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: you you always go to the night before games and 258 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So from a comfortability standpoint, and that's 259 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: great and it keeps you. It gives you a sliver 260 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: of hope that if you keep winning and maybe in 261 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: Green Bay or New Orleans gets upset that maybe you 262 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: host a game further down the road. But right now, 263 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk about this wild card stuff and just kind 264 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: of recap what happened in the division this year. Right, So, 265 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: like the Rams, they're back in the playoffs after missing 266 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. Sean mcvays led them in the 267 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: playoffs three his four seasons in LA. Cardinals missed the 268 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. So, and obviously you 269 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: mentioned the Niners. They had a truly awful year when 270 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: it comes to injuries, I mean absolutely decimated after going 271 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl last season. The bump, here's the lesson. 272 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: Here is the lesson if you have not been paying 273 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: attention to us all season. Here's a lesson. It's hard 274 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: to win in the National Football League. So do not 275 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: take the seahawks success for granted. The Seahawks has been 276 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: in the postseason nine of eleven years under Pete Carroll. 277 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Of those nine postseason years, the Seahawks have won at 278 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: least one game in seven of those seasons. Okay, every 279 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: other team in the NFC West has had at least 280 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: four or ten lost seasons in that stant. In that span, okay, 281 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: the Seahawks have just been consistent. Every other team in 282 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: the NFUSC has been really bad, good, and really bad 283 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: again in that seems span. The Seahawks been incredibly consistent. 284 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: So guys, don't get tired of winning, don't get tired 285 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: of winning. Don't take it for granting. Okay, y'all spoil, 286 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: that's all they're saying. Y'all spoil, all right, you don't. 287 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: A lot of teams don't have the success at the 288 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: hawksab so enjoy it. Okay. Final impressions of the division 289 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Are the Cardinals and Kyler Murray going 290 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: to be more legitimate of a contender in twenty twenty one? 291 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: I think they are, I really do. I think if 292 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: Murray stays healthy. I think if a couple things happened 293 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: for him on defense, you see the potential in this 294 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals seem unfortunately they started off five and two. Kyler 295 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: Murray was an MVP talks number one offense in all 296 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: the land at some point, but then injuries happened. You 297 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: start to get scouted, You gotta adjust when it comes 298 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: to coaching. Things happen. But I think the Cardinals are 299 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a good football team. Will there be another 300 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: quarterback in San Fran? Will San Fran bounce back? Shanahan 301 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: is same, He's got his guy and Jimmy Garoppolo he's 302 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: gonna be good to go. I saw scenario on Instagram. 303 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: Be careful where you get you information from memes and 304 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I saw a scenario where the 305 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: Niners trade up for that number three, number four picked, 306 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: and they pick Justin Fields. If they if they pull 307 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: something like that off, I think Justin Fields would be 308 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: a good fifth there. You get rid of Jimmy, you 309 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: save some money. That's how you win. You build around 310 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: a young quarterback. I think that would be a good 311 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: move for them, if that even happens. Everyone's throwing out 312 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: scenarios right now. I just saw that scenario. It looked 313 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,119 Speaker 1: pretty fun, so I took some time and reddit. Saturday's 314 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: game will definitely show who really owns the Western Game three. 315 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: It will they split their one on one. This is 316 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: a tiebreaker right here, man, It means a whole lot more. 317 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: It's winner going home. We know that the Rams are 318 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: gonna come ready to play. We've seen each other for 319 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: the third time. It's not like teams are gonna change 320 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: their scheme and throw out this a crazy concept that 321 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: we haven't seen all year. You are who you are 322 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: at this point. You gotta be the team that got 323 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: you into the playoffs. Will you add wrinkles here and there, Yes, 324 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: you will, But we all know Cup is gonna get 325 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: those yards after the catch. We know Woods is gonna 326 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: be getting on the jet suites. Cam Anchors is healthy 327 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: this time around. He's gonna get the rock. And we 328 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: know Aaron Donald and know it is who it is. 329 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: It's all about who wants it more and who execute 330 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: out a high level at this point. Yeah. And the 331 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: thing about it too is like the NFC West titles 332 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: where it starts right and I'm not gonna downgrade that 333 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: at all. That's a huge accomplishment has been done in 334 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: it in four years here in Seattle. But if you 335 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: lose to the Rams on Sunday that division title, the 336 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: shine comes completely off it, man, because you lose to 337 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: a division rival and then you're going home in the 338 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: Wild Car playoffs and should do worse than we did 339 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: last year would be incredibly disappointing. So I don't think 340 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Um, it's just really time to flex 341 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: up and show that you own the West, you own 342 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: home field, you own the Luman field, and you're gonna 343 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: go out there and handle business. Bump, Let's get in 344 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: these matchups. Man up, who is this man? This man 345 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk? All right, man up, We're gonna 346 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: start with the person who's gonna be under center for 347 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams. Now, is that gonna be Jared Goffer? 348 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: Is that gonna be John Wolford. Sean McVay has been 349 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: very noncommittal about the status of Jared Goff broke. Like 350 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: I said earlier, he broke his thumb after hitting Ben 351 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: to Mayo his helmet in week sixteen. He's popped that 352 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: thing back into place, got surgery to stabilize it. Wolford 353 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: got his first centifol start last week against the Cardinals. 354 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: Mcvayh initially said, Hey, this is an injury that's not 355 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: gonna take golf out for an extended amount of time, 356 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: but we'll see that'd be really quick comeback if he's 357 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: able to come back this quick. A couple of season 358 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: numbers on Golf he threw for almost four thousand yards, 359 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, twelve picks on the season, fifty one carries 360 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: for ninety nine yards, so he's not gonna kill you 361 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: with his legs, but did have four touchdowns on a 362 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: couple of QB sneaks two different games. Against Seattle, he 363 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: threw for over three hundred yards the first time, didn't 364 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: throw a touchdown, but it was a lot more effective. 365 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: Second game twenty four for forty three, no touchdowns, one pick. 366 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: So I'm feeling confident either way. I think obviously you know, 367 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, say what you wanted by Jared Goff, he 368 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: absolutely gives him the best chance to win bum But 369 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: don't sleep on John Woolford because he's going to He's 370 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: at least going to show up to the table. He's 371 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna be more elusive. He'll still give them a chance 372 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: to win. But either way, whoever's lining up a quarterback, 373 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: you need to make them uncomfortable. You need to turn 374 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: the ball over and you need to make them one dimensional. 375 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: We need both of those guys under pressure. Send him, 376 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: Send him. We'll see what Jamal Adams looks like. We 377 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: know he's banged up. He's key into applying pressure. But 378 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: what I did see last when Jamal was out last game, 379 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: the very next playing, Ryan Neil is in and they 380 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: send him on a blitz. And Ryan Neil, if we 381 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: remember he had two games, we had two interceptions, I 382 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: believe one against Dallas, one against Miami. He's been there. 383 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: They can plug him in. They probably won't be as aggressive, 384 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: but they can still get after him. But something tells 385 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: me Jamal is gonna do whatever he has do to 386 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: get on that field. Next matchup, Cooper Cup Robert was Verse, 387 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: Seattle's secondary Cup has ninety two yards excuse me, ninety 388 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: two receptions, nine hundred and seventy two yards and just 389 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, but five hundred and twenty nine yards after 390 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: they catch when the ball is in his hands, I 391 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: do special. Man. He's got some wiggle, he's got some burst. 392 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: The first match up be at five receptions for fifty yards, 393 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: the second match up be at eight receptions for sixty 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: six yards, and they haven't really utilized him to his 395 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: full potential. And we're saying that in the man has 396 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: ninety two catches in nine hundred and seventy two yards, 397 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: but a guy like him needs to get into the 398 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: end zone more often. And it seems like as of leet, 399 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: they haven't really been feed him. So I expect him 400 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: to highlight him this week. Now. Robert Woods has ninety receptions, 401 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirty six yards, six touchdowns, twenty four 402 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: carries f one hundred and fifty five yards and two touchdowns. 403 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: When you get into that red zone, Robert was as 404 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: their main target. Theyre gonna look at him in jet sweets. 405 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: They're trying to try to give him the rock in 406 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: the corners. He's deceptibly fast. He ran a four or 407 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: five at the NFL Combine, but you watch him on film, 408 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: he looks like a four or three, four or four guy. 409 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: The first matchup he had five receptions for thirty three yard. 410 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: The second matchup he had four sections for forty eight yards. 411 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: Both guys were kind of held back last game. We 412 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: didn't we didn't. We didn't get the full dosage of 413 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: Woods and Cup. And I think going into this game 414 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: with Walford, what approach they're gonna take. You got a 415 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: young quarterback. You think they're gonna hand the ball off 416 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: to cam Akers and Malcolm Brown and Henderson and have 417 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: them do their thing. But we know how good the 418 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks are against the run. At some point they're gonna 419 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: have to let this young fellow, if he's in, drop 420 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: back and throw the rock. And he threw a nice 421 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: pass Robert Woods last week, a pass he shouldn't have 422 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: thrown him. But because he's young, and he has these 423 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: two guys on outside who can get a damn. He's 424 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: gonna take some chances. If he does take those chances, 425 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: haws gotta jump all over him. Yeah. No, for I 426 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: totally agree with that. I think I think as a 427 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: young quarterback he needs to lean on those two because 428 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: that kind of propels us into the next matchup Cam 429 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: Akers and Malcolm Brown. So Henderson got hurt against us 430 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: A last in Week sixteen and cam Akers last week 431 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: man he got completely shut down bump twenty one carries 432 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: for thirty to four yards, and as we know, it's 433 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: definitely not gonna be good enough against the Seahawks. Like 434 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: I mentioned, deary Henderson got put on I r if 435 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: getting hurt against US I'm kind of looking at the 436 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: season numbers. Acres one hundred forty five carries, six twenty 437 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: five two toads, Brown one hundred one carries four hundred 438 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: nineteen yards and five touchdowns, and with the qbas only 439 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: played one game in the NFL, this is like I 440 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: want to say this, if not number one, number two, 441 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: most important matchup, but the afternoon because if you can 442 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: make these guys one dimensional and make Walford or Goff 443 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: have to throw at forty times, thirty five times, whatever 444 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: it is, it's gonna be a long day. And I 445 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: think it's gonna get ugly. I mean, the Seahawks will 446 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: stop the run all season long, and yeah, I think 447 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna come out with you know, they run a 448 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: ton of twelve personnel, a ton of those and when 449 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: they do pass the ball out of two man routes 450 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I think they're gonna try 451 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: to come out and run the ball, and I think 452 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: if the Seahawks can stop it from then on, it 453 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: could be a long day for those guys. Stop that run, baby, 454 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: all right. The next matchup, the most important matchup, Russell 455 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: Wilson Versu the rams D defense. For the season, Russell 456 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: is three eighty four for five fifty eight four thousand, 457 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve yards, forty touchdowns, thirteen interceptions, eighty 458 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: three carries, five hundred and thirteen yards two touchdowns. Now 459 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: the first time they linked up down in Callie round 460 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: the Corn around from and Inglewood twenty two for thirty seven, 461 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: he was two hundred and forty eight yards, no touchdowns, 462 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: but two interceptions. Two Cruiser interceptions, one fumble. The next 463 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: MATCHIP twenty for thirty two two hundred twenty five yards, 464 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: one touchdown, one rushing testdown, zero turnovers. When the Hawks 465 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle this year, they are twelve n O. 466 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll will let you know he is all about 467 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: the football, taking care of the football, game after the football. 468 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: It all starts at Russell Wilson. Man, I'm gonnaknock on 469 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: wood before I say this, but I don't remember any 470 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 1: of our running backs fumbling this year, so it's not 471 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: like we got issues hold onto the rock when we 472 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: are running it. There have been a couple of tip 473 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: passes come out the receiver's hands that cast him interceptions. 474 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: But end of the day, it comes down to Russell 475 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: Wilson taking care of the football. And if that means 476 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: that he has a game like he had last week 477 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: where he's super cautious, you know, I watched the film. 478 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: There are a couple of times where he could have 479 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: taken some shots there DK's open, and the NFL opened 480 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: means you got one step or half a step on 481 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: the defender because guys are there, and he's kind of like, no, 482 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take that chance right now, I'm just 483 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: gonna check down. I'm gonna run the football. If he 484 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: has that type of game, I'm all good with. The 485 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: calculated risk taking is what I see out of Russell 486 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: Wilson right now. And I'm okay with them. Just get 487 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: to w I don't care what it looks like. Yeah. No, 488 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: And I'm okay with the two because when you look 489 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: at the Rams there, we already mentioned that they're the 490 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: number one defense the NFL, and they have a lot 491 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: of top ten defensive rankings points per game number one, 492 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: defensive total yards per game number one, net passing yards 493 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: per game number one, sacks number two, third down percentage 494 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: number three, rush yards number three, red zone number four, 495 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: passing percentage number five, tied for ten, and total takeaways 496 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: for twenty two. And these Rams defense only a lot 497 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: of eight second half touchdowns all season all season. But 498 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: you know what, bump two of them came again to 499 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: Seahawk in Week sixteen. So Russell's gonna have his work 500 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: cut out for him. As we know, the Rams play 501 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: the Seahawks so well. Young defensive coordinator Brandon Stanley is 502 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: having those guys playing some unbelievable football to the point 503 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: where he's even on a short list of head coaching jobs, 504 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. Crazy rise throughout the coaching rank considering 505 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: he's coaching Division three football like six seven years ago, 506 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. There, but no, Russell's gonna have to 507 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: come with it. Take care of the football and we 508 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: win this game. But bump beyond just the ram defense, 509 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: if we just focus on that front line, they gotta 510 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: worry about Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd. Yeah, talk to him. Yeah, 511 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: those guys are some special, some special man. Aaron Donald 512 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: thirteen and a half sacks, forty five tackles, nineteen tackles 513 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: for a loss. His second teammate and well teammate closer 514 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: than him, has twelve and a half, and he has 515 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: four force fumbles. You just look at this dude. Man, 516 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm watching filming this guy and he'll slant to the 517 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: ride gibbs, spin moved different ribb. Get to the quarterback, 518 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: he'll bull rush you go straight up, just go right threugh. 519 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: You get to the quarterback, he'll line up at the 520 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: five technique. That means outside of the tackle boom, get 521 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. He's versatile. I don't think I've seen 522 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: him move around as much. Prior to this season. He's 523 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: typically just been that inside technique that won that three technique. 524 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: But they're moving him around, and there are times where 525 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: they will put him and Leonard Floyd on the same 526 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: side and just try to overwhelm you. If Shell isn't 527 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: in this ball game, I anticipate seeing that look now 528 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks. In fourteen games, Aaron Donald thirteen sacks, 529 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: thirty one tackles, twenty tackles for loss, thirty six QB hits, 530 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: two passes defended in two forced fumbles. But it's a 531 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: good part. In twenty twenty, only has one sack, one tackle, 532 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: and one tackle for loss, and that was all in 533 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: the same play. I don't expect him to duplicate that performance. 534 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: He's Aaron Donald. He's a bad man. But this offensive 535 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: line can walk into this game at least confidence saying, look, 536 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: he tore the league up him and doing none of us. 537 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what what he did, y'all, but this Seahawks 538 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: offensive line has handed him pretty well well. The thing 539 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: about it, too, is, yes, we could we've kept him 540 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: from wrecking games because in his tenure he has absolutely 541 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: just destroyed offensive game plans and ruined games. He's still effective. 542 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: He still us to cause so much attention in real 543 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: quick I know Ray Roberts has talked about this a lot. 544 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: Something the Seahawks offensive line has struggled with is when 545 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: guys just running games with us, when they run those 546 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: te stunts and we're having trouble stopping that. And Ray 547 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: pointed it out on Sunday. A lot of times the guard, 548 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: too much penetration happens from the guard, and then it's 549 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: too late to pass it off. So our tackles are 550 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: just too late, too much pressure inside, so you lean 551 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: inside and when they loop around, it just can't get 552 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: there in time. So that's something that we haven't been 553 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: able to stop, and they're definitely gonna need to work 554 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: with because man Leonard Floyd, he has five sacks, fifteen 555 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: tackles in seven QB hits against us this year. A 556 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: lot of that's because Aaron Donald they're doing upfront. So 557 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: if you can somehow find a way to slow these 558 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: guys down, the Seahawks have a good chance on offense. 559 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: Objective number one, slow down Aaron Donald and mister Floyd. Okay, 560 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: the next matchup we got Chris Carson, Carlos Hide, and 561 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: Rashot Penny verse the Rams front seven. Now, none of 562 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: these guys played in that first matchup. Nobody played. I 563 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: think Alex Collins was the leading rusher for the team 564 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: at that running back position. So they're gonna get a 565 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,239 Speaker 1: dose of what it could what life is really like 566 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: when you have all your horses in the backfield. We 567 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: saw Rashot Penny last week get some touches. Chris Carson 568 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: looks like he is back now. Carlos Hide, Rashad Penny 569 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: and Carson. They haven't wowed you with a performance this year, right, 570 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: It's not like we've seen them belind Man, that was 571 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: a great game over one hundred yards. No, but they've 572 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: wiled you in moments. Penny not not so much yet. 573 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: He only has like ten cares for the season. But 574 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: they've shown that they can keep the chains moving and 575 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: they can have big plays. I believe Carlos Hide has 576 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: the biggest rushing player from the line of scrimmage this 577 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: year for US, and that was a couple of weeks ago. 578 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Chris Carson is just steady. He's gonna get you sixty 579 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: seventy yards twenty thirty yards in the past game. He's 580 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna have one or two big plays, and I'm okay 581 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: with that. As long as all three are contributing, I 582 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: think they will be fine. And they have to contribute 583 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: this week, Yeah, no question about it. I mean, I 584 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: think in the second game, Carson at sixteen carry sixty 585 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: nine yards, three receptions or ten yards. So while he wasn't, 586 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: like he said, overwhelmingly, he's been kind of getting around 587 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: that seventy to eighty yards per game where we need 588 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: him get some of those tough yards. And let's not 589 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: be afraid to go to him, man, because a lot 590 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: of times those runs are there, those cutbacks were there 591 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: for Chris. So I would love to see him get 592 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: closer that twenty carry mark, just to see him kind 593 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: of trying to wear down this really good Rams defense. 594 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: But bomb man. That final matchup, mister Dk metcalf as 595 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: Ray Roberts would say, versus Jalen Rams. He So the 596 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: first matchup went to Jalen Metcalfalian at two receptions twenty 597 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: eight yards for targets all came in second half. Last time, 598 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: DK was way more effective. Six catches fifty nine yards 599 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: and a huge third down conversion where he ran through 600 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: somebody's face, setting them called hollisters, game sealing touch down. Now, bump, 601 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of unfair to say DK versus Jalen, right, 602 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: just because of how much zone the Rams played. Yeah, 603 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: they play zone all day. I probably saw man the 604 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: last time. The Hawks play, maybe two or three times, 605 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: and the Hawks to a good job of getting matchups them. 606 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: They'll line up K wherever DK starts off in the formation, 607 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: Jalen will be standing over him. But what the Hawks 608 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: have done, they'll motion them to the right side, they'll 609 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: move them to the slop, and Jalen's just gonna stay 610 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: where he is. All Right, I'm not gonna not gonna 611 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: follow you. I'm not gonna chase you. This is a 612 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: zone concept, and I'm not mad at that because they're 613 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: trying to get DK mashed up on safeties and outside 614 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: backers and maybe a small nickel they're trying to I 615 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: don't I don't think they're running away from Jalen Ramsey. 616 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: But it's like, look, man, if we don't have to 617 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: have that matchup every single down, why do it? Now? 618 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: There are times where you just line them up then 619 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: you gotta go. And I think when those moments presents itself, 620 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: I think DK will be ready. They both know this 621 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: is the third time they're meeting. They both know everyone's 622 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: talking about this. Jalen is a lockdown corner man. The 623 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: he did to Hopkins last week, I mean it was 624 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: it was impressive. I've seen him doing to other receivers. 625 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: But when you can stay on hopkins hip when you're 626 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: going downfield, when he's running quick games, this lets you 627 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: know how versal this guys. He's not gonna pick the 628 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: ball off. That's not what he does. He's gonna be 629 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: in your hip. He's gonna get a pass breakup, He's 630 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: gonna make the big hip. That's his game. So this 631 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: is gonna be a fun matchup to watch when they 632 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: do lineup over each other. Now, I think the Hawks 633 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: are gonna have the same game plan. They're gonna move 634 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: DK round and get him the ball in space. No 635 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: no need to be my cheesemo and say we got 636 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: the best receiver. We're gonna get that. DK's nough Pro 637 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Bowl franchise leader when it comes to yards in the season, 638 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: I get it. But get this man the ball over 639 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: the field, yeah, no question about it. I think between him, 640 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: and we saw what we saw from Tyler Lockett last week. 641 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: I think those two guys are gonna be really crucial 642 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: and make the Rams pick their poison. What are you 643 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: gonna take away? If you're gonna put more you know 644 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: onus in the zone that decays running through, then find 645 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, get him the rock, I think. But I 646 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: will say this time, I feel like one of those 647 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: guys is gonna have a huge game. One of those 648 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: guys is gonna this week, is gonna have closer to 649 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: the ten receptions, around one hundred yards and hopefully at 650 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: least one or two touchdowns. But Bump, we gotta figure 651 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: out how do we get this done. In the third 652 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: matchup path to Victory After forty five waits for the staff, 653 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick is away. If 654 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: that kick is gone, it's gone. It's a path to victory. 655 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk. First things first, Meg Walford, if he 656 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: plays looked like a guy who's only played one game 657 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: in NFL, he cannot come out there and have the 658 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: greatest game of his life. He can't go out there 659 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: and post game talk about I dreamed of this as 660 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: a kid. We don't want that speech. No, nah, we 661 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: want him to bow out respectfully, ghostit on the sideline, 662 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: packing bags. Try to make the ball club next year. 663 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: He needs to look like a young guy. Now Jared 664 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: golf plays, We know what you gotta do. Send him, 665 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: Blitz him. He's going to turn the ball over. I 666 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: feel like he's been stuck app twenty touchdowns, twelve interceptions 667 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: for like four weeks. Now. I look up his stats 668 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: and the stat line looks the same when he comes 669 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: to that department. So make him who he is. And 670 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: if he does play and he is banged up, I'm 671 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: not saying be dirty, but I wouldn't mind some extracurriculum activity. Man, 672 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: make sure you get those QB hits to let him 673 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: know that it's going to be a rough day at 674 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: Looming Field. Yeah, no question about it. And just kind 675 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: of build off that if Wolford starts, Man Wolford, it's 676 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: a great story. Man. He's a four year starter at 677 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: Wake fours. How a bunch of stats goes undrafted? The 678 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: Jets call him. He literally was about to take a 679 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: job with some private equity firm, and then three days 680 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: later the Jets call him. He decides to go back 681 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: to the Jets. He's there for ten days, goes to 682 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: the AF place for Aaronston one on hot shots, then 683 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: comes back to the Rams practice squad. Then all of 684 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: a sudden makes some club this year is Goss back up, 685 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: wins a week seventeen game to get you in the postseason. 686 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: It's all great, anything's possible, except for Sunday. I don't 687 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: want to hear about how good of a story it 688 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: is on Sunday. It's a great story. We could write 689 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: an article, But on Sunday I want to be hearing 690 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: about the Seahawks defense dominated again, and it starts to 691 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: making us too uncomfortable. And then, man, stop the run. 692 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Stop the run. If you stop the run and you 693 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: put the onus on those two, it's gonna be a 694 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: long day, because I mean, especially up here, the Seahawks 695 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: have won ten straight playoff games at Louman Field. I 696 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: know the fans won't be there, but there's a comfortability, 697 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: there's a swagger, there's a confidence. So stop the run 698 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: and protect Ross, Protect Russell, Wilson, bump. You gotta protect 699 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback, the guy who gets this thing going, 700 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: the protector, the leader, Russell Wilson. Keep that jersey clean. 701 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: I know they play on field turf these days. You know, 702 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: back in the day, my day, we played on grass. Baby, 703 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: that's that jersey got dirty. Keep Russell's jersey clean, and 704 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: win the turnover battle. Take care of the full ball 705 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Russell throw for your touchdowns. I don't care if you 706 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: throw it for one, rush for two, I don't care. 707 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: Just keep the rock in the offense's hands. And then 708 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: I want to get a big ups to Jason Meyers. 709 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: Meyers taking all those field goals.
