He throws it into the end zone. Touchdown. 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: Say Hawks, it's Michael Bumpas with a diving catching the 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: end zone. Our ten yard touchdown reception for Puppas and 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: the kid out of Washington State has found himself a 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: place on this team. Powered by Seahawks dot Com. You 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: are listening to Hawk Talk Recap edition with Michael Bumpas 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: along with Nasa Choby. Does Seahawks beat the Cardinals twenty 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: eight to twenty one and get some revenge? And like 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: we always do, let's go into the trenches with Ray 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: Robinson talk about it. It's time to go inside the 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: trenches with former Seahawk Ray Roberts. Big Ray, Good morning man, 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: How you doing. I'm hanging in that big dog. How 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: are you feeling? Hey? All is well over here. The 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: Hawks get it done, like I mentioned, twenty eight to 19 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: twenty one and the very first thing I had to 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: ask you before the game. A little birdie told us 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: that Damian Lewis might be playing center. The rookie goes 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: out there, stumbles at first. I believe he had what 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: a fumble he got be and he had a penalty. 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: Other than that, did he settle down? Did he get going? 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: What you see out of the youngster? You know, for 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: what he was being asked to do, a lot of 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: those things were to be expected. I thought it was 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: a little unfair for them to run a pass play 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: on his very first snap. I thought they should have 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: maybe given him a chance to just fire off the 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: ball a little bit, just to kind of get his 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: seat wet. But after that, I think he settled down 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: and he played pretty good. The one thing I like 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: about Damian Lewis is that, you know, in the press 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: conference after the game, he said that he told the 36 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: coach that he will do whatever he has to do, 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: And to me, that means to do this just a 38 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: football player. It doesn't matter where you put him. He's 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: tending to figure it out, gone to figure out a 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: way to be successful in it. As a game went on, 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: and he looked a little bit more comfortable with it, 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: and you have to also consider that when you're playing 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: in that position. He's never had to do a double 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: team with Mikey Potty. He's never had to do a 45 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: double team with Jamarco Jones, you know, so like it's 46 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: even just the people around him made it was a 47 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable. But I thought he played pretty good. 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: This is a good game to put him there. They 49 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries on the defensive line, so 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: maybe not as talented of a player that he was 51 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: playing against. And I think he settled into what they 52 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: were asking him to do and he did a good job. Yeah, 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Ray. People think that you can just 54 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: switch positions on that offensive line and it's all gravy. 55 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Now there's some adjustments that needs to be made. I 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: was happy the young man got it done. Now, all year, 57 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: you've been asking this football team to really implement the run, 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: not to just be run heavy, but to have purpose. 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: I believe is what you said. With your run. We 60 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: saw that last night were Carlos hide. I think as 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: a team they rushed for one hundred sick five yards. 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: How did you feel about the balance that we saw 63 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: last night? You know, I loved it because, uh it 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: looked like a like it looked like one game plan, 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: and I think that was the word I kept I've 66 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: been using this. They needed to marry the run game 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: to the passing game. And so it didn't really matter 68 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: to me if they dropped back and through it forty 69 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: times and only ran it twenty times, as long as 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: those twenty runs were part of an offensive game plan 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: and not like they, oh, well, maybe we should run 72 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: it right here. So it really felt like a really 73 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: cohesive game plan. And so then it just so happened 74 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: that you had a veteran running back back there, a 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: guy that's more north and south uh and can and 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: can turn a five yard game into eight or nine 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: or ten yard game or two yard game into a 78 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: five yard game. Uh. And so he was able to 79 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: find the creases that the offensive line was creating and 80 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: and get and finding that space and getting those yards. 81 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: So I was really pleased with the way he looks. 82 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: He looks fresh, He looked u quick and and and agile. 83 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: And then I'm telling you this offensive one wants to 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: run the football. And I think that that they This 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: was a statement game for them, not just to the 86 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: fans of Seattle, but to the to the coaching staff 87 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: of Seattle that we can do this. Put someone back there, 88 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: give us an opportunity to get into a rhythm running 89 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: the ball, and we can You know, not that you 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: can pick any guy off the street to put back there, 91 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: but if you have a quality like I really feel 92 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: like if DJ Dallas had had to play last night, 93 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: with the way the offensive line was blocking, he would 94 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: have been close to some of the same production because 95 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: it would have been it would have been hard to 96 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: miss the holes that were there. Yeah, I agree that 97 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: offensive line seemed like they had some pepp in the 98 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: steff firing off the football, Dwayne Brown doing what he does, 99 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: dominating guys as well. Now, Russell Wilson, he's been getting 100 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: some heat over the last few weeks, been turning the 101 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: football over. He seemed to make better decisions last night, 102 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: tuck the ball and ran. I believe he had ten 103 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: carries last night for about sixty yards. What did you 104 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: see out of Russell Wilson? Did you like his decision making? It? 105 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: Is this the type of game you feel like the 106 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: Hawks need from him? Yeah? I think so, because you know, 107 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: we talked before the game about there was just this 108 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: idea that they were simplifying the game for Russell. And 109 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: Russell was a really smart, smart guy, and he knows 110 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: this offense as well as anybody. So it wasn't a 111 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: matter of Russell not being able to process what the 112 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: defense was doing or what they were trying to get 113 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: done on the offense. I think, like I said before, 114 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: I think it was a clarification of what are our 115 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: desired outcomes. A desired outcomes or to move the ball, 116 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, advanced the ball down to field, score points, 117 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: win the game. It wasn't to throw fifty touchdowns or 118 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: get MVP votes or let Russ do whatever people want 119 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: him to do in the kitchen. It was to get 120 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: move the ball down to field, score touchdowns and win 121 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: the football game. And so if you look at how 122 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: Russell was some role in the game, it's still his offense. 123 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: You know, there was a he mentioned in his press conference, 124 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: checking out of past plays and getting getting to run 125 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: plays that were favorable and those types of things. So 126 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: Russell has still been able to do his thing. Just 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: how he gets to doing those things may look a 128 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: little different. So I was really pleased with it. When 129 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: I was driving home last night, Uh, you know, I 130 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: was listening to some old Motown music and uh, and 131 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: there were some songs I think I posted on that. 132 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: One was called I Miss You and the other one 133 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: was called the Undisputed Truth. And so I think that 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: last night, Uh, them returning to that old school type 135 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: of football that they've always played was is the formula 136 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that they need. And then when you go into the game, 137 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: you need Russell to pass for four hundred yards. He 138 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: can still do that. But this is the foundation of 139 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: what this team is. This is the character of what 140 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: this team is. This is the soul of what Pete 141 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: Carroll brings to this organization. So it was good. It 142 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: was good for them to revisit that, to kind of 143 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: calm themselves down and get them recentered. Yeah, I agree 144 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: with you. It's nice to just to see them win 145 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: in a variety of ways. Right, You don't just have 146 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: to win one way, and during the football season, you're 147 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna be asked to win a bunch of different ways. 148 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: So I'm with you, Ray, this is old school Benches. 149 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson right here in twenty three or twenty eight, 150 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, nothing overwhelming, but he got it done. So 151 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: now we showed the offense some love. We gotta go 152 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: over to this defense. Guys are not guys. Fans have 153 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: been yelling, oh, get rid of kid Norn. They don't 154 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: know what they're doing. One we taught everybody to calm down. 155 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: He is a professional. Pizzas professional. They're gonna go and 156 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: figure some things out. They were able to hold one 157 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: of the if not the best rushing offense to fifty 158 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: seven yards rushing. Kyler Murray had fifteen yards rushing and 159 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: no touchdowns. Previously this he had scored with his feet 160 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: and his arm in five consecutive games. What you see 161 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: out of this defense to really slow these guys down, Well, 162 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: what the first thing you saw was some help right 163 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: along the the defensive line. Uh, you know, getting getting 164 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: some of those guys healthy, Green and Mayoa back on 165 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: the on the field. Uh. And then they look like 166 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: they just played with more purpose. You know. I think 167 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: you know in the press conference, it was a scene 168 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: throughout the press conference, this idea that there's a lot 169 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: of new pieces here that don't really know the culture 170 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: of this team because they weren't able to go through 171 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: those preseason games. They weren't able to go through those 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: those tough two of their practices and things like that 173 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: when they get to really get acclimated to what the 174 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: culture is here, and that may be it may sound 175 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: like a little uh, you know not it may sound 176 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: a little fruity, I guess as the word I can 177 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: come up with, because every team has a culture, so 178 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: to speak, but here it really is part of how 179 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: they play, how they think, how they go about it. 180 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: So you heard dun laugh talking about the positivity that's here, uh, 181 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: you know, him celebrating with his his coach, h his 182 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: his you a nation, the excitement that he's gotten, him 183 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: sharing you know, uh plan to the fans that are 184 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: not there, like all those types of things. You heard 185 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner talk about it like he wished that the 186 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: twelves were there so that the new guys could feel 187 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: what's that's like? You know. So I think more guys, 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: more of these new pieces, are starting to understand the 189 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: not just the game plan, but just the philosophy of 190 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: how they approach football here and what the culture in 191 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: the locker room is. And then then I think that 192 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: starts to show up on the field. I mean, there's 193 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: a there's a lot of new people. Even with the 194 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: injuries in the secondary, all the different guys that were 195 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: playing dudes that haven't been in this in this program 196 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: very long. Uh. It takes time to kind of you know, 197 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: for the thing of Carlos dune Lass for for eleven years, 198 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: he's in this basically losing uh program, and then he 199 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: comes here and he's going like you have to question 200 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: some of the positivity because you go like, man, like 201 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: where I came from, this just wasn't flying, So it's 202 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of hard to receive that. But now I think 203 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: he sees how j anyone and uh, how genuine that is. Uh. 204 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: And now he's bought into it. So you saw the 205 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: excitement in this press Concy dude does the best press 206 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: conferences ever. But h but I think that's a big 207 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: part of the turnaround on the defense. I'm with you, Ray, 208 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: they're bought in and I'm bought into everything you say 209 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: is you'd be spending that knowledge big home. Yeah, I 210 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: appreciate you taking your time out of your day. Excuse 211 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: me your morning. How it going, man, Yeah, you know, 212 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: it's it's early. It felt like we've just walked out 213 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: of the stadium ten minutes ago. But uh, it's a 214 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: good feeling. Uh to go into the the to the 215 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: saintsgiving week, Uh, feeling good about the Seahawks. The Seahawks 216 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: that are feeling good about how they played and where 217 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: they're headed, and then the and then the home stretch 218 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: of games are very favorable, favorable for them, So everyone 219 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: has to be feeling a little bit better eating some 220 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: of that uh that turkey. Uh next week. I'm with you, 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: all right, Ray, I talked to you. Yeah, piece out 222 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: all right. You know what, I'm not even gonna Let's 223 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: not even play no games. Let's bring NASA Choby in 224 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: and what had happened and let's holl at them see 225 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: what had happened. At first what had happened was un talking. 226 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: What had happened was is victory Friday here at the vMac, 227 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks takedown the Cardinals twenty eight, twenty one and bump. 228 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, man, it feels good. It 229 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: feels we're so spoiled down here. It feels like it's been, 230 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, three months since we had a victory out here. Man. 231 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm jacked all fired up. Ray got me going. 232 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: The Seahawks get back to doing we talk about all 233 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: the time, and it's owning the NFC West. This is 234 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: the biggest win of the season, no question about it. 235 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: If they would have lost last night, it would have 236 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: really been difficult for them to get back in the division. Ray, 237 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: So it's a huge win to beat the Cardinals at home. 238 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: And the other thing, bump is the Seahawks got back 239 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: to what's been so successful over the entirety of the 240 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll era, and that's a quality run game paired 241 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: with the defense that made plays, got off the field, 242 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: came down with big stops and that's just winning foot ball. 243 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: You know, we've all been talking about let Russ blank, 244 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: let Russ blank, all this stuff, this and that. While 245 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: we can still do that because Russell Wilson, in my opinion, 246 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: still the best player in football. He can still do 247 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: all those things. You need to have some support. And 248 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: the team look completely different last night, something we haven't 249 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: seen all year, because they were able to have a 250 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: successful run game and it definitely helped compliment Russell Wilson 251 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: all that long. Yeah, successful run game one hundred and 252 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: ninety seven yards, and then they held the Arizona Cardinals 253 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: to under sixty yards rushing, which is crazy. When you 254 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: have Murray Dre Edmond's back there. The way they've been performing, 255 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: you would hope that they just hover around one hundred yards, 256 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: but under sixty yards is great. The time of possession, 257 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: Jim Miller last night really brought this to our attention. 258 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Thirty five minutes of twenty four. That means that your 259 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: offense is working the ball down the field slowly. It 260 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: wasn't that really explosive offense that we're used to see him. 261 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: There were some explosive plays, but I'm okay with this 262 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: style of football, they're gonna be games like this. You're 263 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna have to win ball games this way to keep 264 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: explosive offices off the field. When we're talking about the 265 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, I liked the play calling early in the game. 266 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: In one series, we saw a scream, an audible quads, 267 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: a rollout, quick game. They covered it all. When it 268 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: came to their offense, it seemed they checked every box 269 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: they needed to check. Oh, for sure, Russell and Shott 270 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: he had it going. Last night on the preview podcast, 271 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned I wanted to see them get back to 272 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: other teams having to deal with us, other teams having 273 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: to adjust to us instead of being the other way around, 274 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and that was the thing. Russell took everything that was 275 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: given to him when they brought pressure. He got the 276 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: hot route, he got the ball out, he dumped it 277 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: off a couple of times with hide or Dallas or 278 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: the tight ends, and everything we did, like you said, 279 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: we were creative. I feel like for the very different 280 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: from the second half last time he plays at Cardinals 281 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: is they were reacting to us. We had everything going, 282 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: everything was working. There was rhythm, there was good, long 283 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: sustained drives, which is you love to see. And defensively, 284 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: Kylin Murray finished the game with a season low fifteen 285 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: rush yards. The cards are one eight one over the 286 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: last two seasons when Murray is held under thirty yards 287 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: and how did they do that? Contain, contain and wrap 288 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: him up. It seemed like there was a play that 289 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: just signified everything that this defense needed to be Last night, 290 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: kJ Right is one on one with Kyler Murray. Doesn't 291 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: take the babe, keep someone his inside shoulder, allows his 292 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: help to work for him. That lets me know that 293 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: they came with a game plan and these guys were 294 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: able to execute it. It's tough to keep a man 295 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray under fifteen yards rushing. That's ridiculous. No, 296 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. And you talk about the total defensive number 297 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, Like we mentioned, the Seahawks have been 298 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: taking a lot of heat all season long, and they 299 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: have given up all yards and a lot of points. 300 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Well against Arizona, it might not seem like a lot, 301 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: but this was their season love. They only gave up 302 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: three hundred and fourteen yards and that's their season love 303 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: by a lot, and only allowed twenty one points for 304 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: the first time all the year. So they had it going. 305 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: So I think for everyone that has been throwing shade 306 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: that Ken Norton has been throwing shade that everyone on defense, 307 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: y'all need to back up and give some credit to 308 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: where credit is due, because once again the defense belt 309 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: off of what we saw in the second half against 310 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: the Rams, took that into this game, which is the 311 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: first time we've seen them go from game to game, 312 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: and they definitely you know, they brought their lunch pin 313 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: and they went to work. Man, they went to work. 314 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: And now they are back on top of the division, 315 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: sitting at first place. Will set up and the three 316 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: will wait until Monday to see what the Rams do. 317 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: But for now it belongs to the Hawks that's getting 318 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: too Playmakers, playmakers, all right, play make us Russell Wilson 319 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: number three, the quarterback, number three on the jersey, number 320 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: one in your hearts, efficient twenty three for twenty eight, 321 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,359 Speaker 1: one hundred ninety seven yards in two touchdowns. Most importantly, 322 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: zero turnovers, bump and last last Monday, it really hurt 323 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: my heart. And it was the first time all season 324 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: that I left Russell off. Playmakers last week, Dang yeah, 325 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: it was the first time in the last time in 326 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: the history of this podcast, because my guy was coming out, 327 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: he was falling, took with the defense gave him, always 328 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: got us into the correct play. Wilson earned his ninety 329 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: third career win as a starter. He passes Peyton mannings 330 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: ninety two for the most by any QB in his 331 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: first nine seasons in NFL history. Now he also joins 332 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: bred Farr Drew Brees as the only quarterbacks in NFL 333 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: history with thirty plus passing touchdowns in four consecutive seasons. 334 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: Even with the struggles he had the last few weeks, 335 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: he is still breaking records. But zero turnovers, that's huge 336 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: with a defense that is struggling but getting better because 337 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: they are getting better. I saw a lot of good 338 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: things last night. I hope okay, yep. I was gonna 339 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: mention the guy, but you got him on our playmaker, 340 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: so I'll save that comment for later. But a defense 341 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: that has been struggling but getting better, you have to 342 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: protect the ball. Ball security, job security, russelling going nowhere. 343 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: He could have thrown three picks this week. But it's 344 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: nice to see the most bounsible man on this football 345 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: team be responsible with the football. Okay, another playmaker, Carlos 346 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: Hide fourteen carry, seventy nine yards, one touchdown, two receptions 347 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: for sixteen yards. First game back since Week six, and 348 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: he looks healthy. There was a burst. He was seeing 349 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: the gaps in the line and he was filling the 350 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: flow of that offensive line. He brought a downhill running 351 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: style that we've missed in this offensive past few weeks. No, absolutely, 352 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: and that's no disrespect to Alice Collins, Travis Homer or 353 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: any of those guys, but Carlos Hide, definitely. You saw 354 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: something different in the game last night. You saw him 355 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: run over Patrick Peterson, you saw him running over guys 356 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: in the secondary. You saw him finding ways to get 357 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: the extra yards that we just haven't seen the last 358 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, so you loved to see from Carlos side, 359 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: and it just kind of speaks to what we talked 360 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: about balance. We're talked about balance a ton in the 361 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: prem postgame show, and this was just a second time 362 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: all season where the Seahawks had more runs and passes. Obviously, 363 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had about ten scrambles for forty two yards, 364 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: but I'll loop that all in because they had balance, 365 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of that was because Carlos Hyde was 366 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: successful running the football. Hyde was successful, and Tyler Lockett 367 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: did what he does. Nine receptions, sixty seven yards and 368 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: one touchdown. Now that doesn't seem like much, but now 369 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: Lockett joined Jerry Rice as the only players in the 370 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl era with twenty plus receptions, two hundred and 371 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: fifty yards and four reception touchdowns verse a single opponent 372 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: in a season. That just means two things. One, dudes 373 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: a og. He's a veteran now Tyler Locke is getting 374 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: up there. And two, he just knows how to play 375 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. There's something about the Cardinals. There have 376 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: been battles over the past few years between the Hawks 377 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals, and one constant has been mister Tyler 378 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: Lockett Well and also too. Let's throw some love to 379 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: Seahawk legend Jerry Rice. I wanted to throw that out 380 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: there for people for two thousand and four. I saw 381 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: some highlights on twitter ys and I will throw it 382 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: back Thursday. Just throw that out there to another former 383 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: Seahawk great, Jerry Rice. Two receivers getting it done. That 384 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: just sounds hilarious. Seahawk legend, Jerry Rice, I feel you, baby. 385 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: That's old school Jerry. That's one rolls ballhead, and you 386 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: know I feel it all right. Carlos Dunlap. In the 387 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: rest of the D line Needson leve but Carlos Dunlap 388 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: four tackles, two sacks, two tackles, flaws, three quarterback hits. 389 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: Now the whole D line had three sacks, seven quarterback 390 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: hits and LJ forces safety and had a sack as well. 391 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: You are getting a return in your investment immediately. With 392 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: Carlos Dunlap. It looks like he's getting into better shape 393 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: and he's understanding the language on that they speak on 394 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: their defense. He's making plays and that number that he 395 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: wears a starter and grow on me too. Hey, if 396 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't care what you do. If you've 397 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: been in the backfield making play sack for lost QB hits, No, 398 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: you love to see you mentioned return on investment. I 399 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: mean that's immediately a lot of times guys go to 400 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: a new team like, well, give him a second. He's 401 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: got to learn the scheme, he's got to learn the defense. 402 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: He's got to get used to guys. No, Carlos came 403 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: in there. He got a sacking media in that first game. 404 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: He's getting QB hit. So you love to see what 405 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: that's doing, and I think that's going to continue to 406 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: free other guys up. LJ. Collier love to see it. 407 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: He's another guy that's gone. People have been super hard on. 408 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna be in the first round pick. He had 409 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: his probably the career game, best game of his career 410 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: last night. So I gotta love it from LJ and 411 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: the whole the whole defensive line. I mean, we've gotten 412 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: a ton of sacks last three weeks, so they're finally 413 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: they're starting to turn the tide and get to playing 414 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: that style of football that we're accustomed to seeing and 415 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: we hope to see moving forward. The rest of the 416 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: year now, just like y'all needed to get off at 417 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: kid Norn's back, get off of Trade Flowers back. Man, 418 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm so proud of this dude. Man, Let's go. Tray 419 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: three tackle, three tackles. Was manned up with d Hop 420 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: the whole night. D Hop had five receptions for fifty 421 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: one yards, and late in the game, Trey Flowers was 422 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: on that hip that last drive to the Arizona Cardinals side. 423 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: I just focused on Tray. I'm like, let's go, what's 424 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: he gonna do. Is he gonna play off? He's he 425 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: gonna flip them hips and turn he goes. Nah, man, 426 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm lined up, man up eyes on their hips. Best 427 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: receiver in the game. What you got? Great game for 428 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers. Oh love it. Love the game from Tray Flowers. 429 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: First of all, in that situation he was he was 430 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: on an island by himself. There was no safety at 431 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: the top, there was none of that. It was one 432 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: on one game on the line. You need to come 433 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: up with a big play. And Trey, yes, he had 434 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: a miss tackle one point in the game. He gave 435 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: up a couple of little things here and there. But 436 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is the best receiver in football, the only 437 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: a lout. Five receptions for fifty one yards is an 438 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: unbelievable job. And honestly, with how we played in the 439 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: secondary times, I think to help the defensive line, okay, 440 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: guys on guys and making Colin Murray come off his 441 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: first and second read and then you can get sacks offense. 442 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: So Trey Flowers, he's taking a ton of heat. Trey 443 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: Flowers is a good football player. He's earned everything he's 444 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: getting right now, and I love to see it because 445 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: his confidence is just getting better and better at the 446 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: right time. She kill Griffin's probably gonna come back. Other 447 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: guys are getting healthy, so things are gonna keep keep rolling, 448 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: and I'm keeping in that secondary. DJ reid second week 449 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: in roll, leading the team tackles eleven tackles, one tackle 450 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: for loss. Same thing with DJ Reid Man, I mean 451 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: you talk about a return on investment. We knew when 452 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: we picked him up, he was heard, he had the 453 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: torn pack, came back just in time to face his 454 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: old team, the nine Ers. Gets to pick right off 455 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: the bat. Now it is helping us in the return game. 456 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: He's showing some explosiveness. DJ reads another great pick up 457 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: and you love to see him doing things to help 458 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: this football team. When we get more healthy at cornerback, 459 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: you're just gonna show them were gonna have so much 460 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: depth and it's gonna be hard for guys to get 461 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: on the field. And he'd love to see that. It's 462 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: gonna be hard for guys to get on the field. 463 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: One Shock and Dunbar get healthy, DJ Reeve and Trey 464 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: will be two of the guys fighting for playing time. 465 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: But where DJ might have solidified himself as in the 466 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: return game and he has a football in his hands 467 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: on those kid returns, it looks like he's one block 468 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: away from breaking him. He already had a big return? 469 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: Was that against Buffalo? And he had that? Are the 470 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: Rams get that big return against Rams? Something he's showing 471 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: him he is adding value to this team. The last 472 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: guy we're gonna talk about, we got that big Ray 473 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: touched on. Damian Lewis started his first game at center. 474 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: First game ever, never snapped. I'm sure he's a center, 475 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: so he probably messed around snapping with his boys or whatnot, 476 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: But to do it for the first time in the 477 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: NFL is huge. Posting was banged up. Kyler Fuller got 478 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: banged up. They say, what are we gonna do? Dame 479 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: said immediately after the game, they went to him and 480 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: told him to start preparing him. Who play center? Center 481 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: is the quarterback on the offensive line. All centers should 482 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: just have that sea on their journey. Yes, their captains 483 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: out there, they should just have to see on their jersey. 484 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: They're responsible for a lot. The young men struggled early, 485 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: balanced back again adding value to this football team. And 486 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: you love it too, like he didn't get discouraged. Yeah, 487 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: that's tough. As Ray mentioned it. First play of the 488 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: game is a pass play, and of course the defensive 489 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: line knows you're a first time playing center. They know 490 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: you're not used to that, so they're gonna rush you 491 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: super hard. He gives up a sack, had a low snap, 492 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: but after that he just played. He just balled out, man. 493 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: And people underestimate how difficult it is to move positions 494 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive line, different combo blocks calling step out. 495 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: So he loved to see the rookie step up because 496 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: he's been huge for the Seahawks. And another thing along 497 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: those same lines, I love the depth on this offensive 498 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: line because they're down Jordan Simmons, who's played for Mikey 499 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: Potty a lot this year. So Jamarco Jones stepped in 500 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: there with Damian Lewis moving over the center, and we 501 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: didn't skip a beat. So big ups the entire offensive line, 502 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: old line, getner done. All right, let's move along. We 503 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: are going to the coach's corner. We're gonna break down 504 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: the touch down passed between Russell Wilson and mister Dk Metcalf. 505 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: Play fake. Russ is gonna roll to the right side, stops, look, 506 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: steps up in the pocket. Now he's gonna scramble. Now 507 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna throw to the end zone. He's got a 508 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: man touchdown, Sayhawks, Dk Metcalf playmate by Russell Wilson scrambling 509 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: out of the pocket to his right side, and Metcalf 510 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: comes all the way across the back of the end zone, 511 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: out running Patrick Peterson and the blow was absolutely perfect. 512 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: The Seahawks on their opening drive go up six nil. 513 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: Now this is what happened here, Nasa Shoby. Okay, okay, 514 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: little rollout, little rollout. DK starts on the left side 515 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: of the field. It looks like he's doing that deep 516 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: cross back to the corner that they love to do. 517 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: A little double move. When it comes to the rollout, 518 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: what happens is Russell Wilson feels pressure. He steps up 519 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: inside the pocket. As soon as Russell Wilson stats up, 520 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: he's not in the pockets outside the pocket, but he 521 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: steps up to avoid his sack. As soon as he 522 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: steps up, he starts to roll out to right. DK 523 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: immediately snaps back to a crossing pattern and russ As 524 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: fires a football in a place where only DK can 525 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: get it. You cannot guard DK from five seconds, six seconds, 526 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: It's just almost impossible. If Russell has time and they're 527 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 1: able to do all this creative backyard football stuff, plays 528 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: like this is going to happen. This is a signature 529 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Play right here, no question. This is what 530 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson does. He makes something happen, gets to a 531 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: second read, and then just improvises. But from the defensive 532 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: backs side of things, brudda Baker, He's watched film. He 533 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: recognizes that crosser. He's like, okay, I've seen this before. 534 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: I'm super aggressive him a fly down, him flies downhill. 535 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: But as soon as Russell Wilson steps up, as he mentioned, 536 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: outside the pocket, DK puts his foot in the ground, 537 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: snaps his head around and then kind of just buckles 538 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: Brude Baker. At that point, he's just in trail mode, 539 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: and that's a place you never want to be as 540 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: a defensive back because you're wobbly, you're just trying to 541 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: react in DK metcalf is too big and too fast. 542 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: He looks back at the quarterback and just to see 543 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: his fate as a DK catches it in the corner 544 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: of the end zone. So you just love to see it. 545 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: And Buddha Baker is a good player. But you're not 546 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna cover DK back out for six seconds, especially after 547 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: you jump his initial move. No, not gonna be able 548 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: to do it now. But this was This is the 549 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: play where highlighting for coaches corner, but also want to 550 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: point album DK was in his bag. I saw two 551 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: different releases, creativity and his routes. Man he's grinding during offseason. 552 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: Whoever he's working with, Man, they must be really getting 553 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: it done. I love seeing DK evolved as a route runner, 554 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: and this is a great example of this. The chemistry 555 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: that him and this guy Russell Wilson had. Now's a 556 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: choby greatest formation in football. Let's get it. Here comes 557 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: the Seahawk offense onto the field and the Vikings defense 558 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: trudging out there knowing that one kneel down and the 559 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks are gonna wind the clock down and win this one. 560 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: It's the victory formation on Hawk talk. Been too long 561 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: since we've seen the greatest formation in football. Love to 562 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson getting that victory formation. Man. The Seahawks 563 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: showed some tremendous balance balance on offense. Man. They're able 564 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: to run the ball, throw the ball effectively. They took 565 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: everything the defense was giving them and always gotten the 566 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: right play. I love to see them make changes because 567 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: everyone said, hey, did we can find the blueprint? All 568 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: the talking heads, everyone's talking, did we find the blueprint? 569 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: I'm beating the Seattle team. We got to do pressure. 570 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: If we can show them this look and do this, 571 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna get fuse dressed. Wilson, he's gonna throw a turnover. 572 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. They came back out there, they went 573 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: to work, They got in the film room, they did 574 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: everything they needed to do. Were incredibly prepared. Came with 575 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: some sauce for Arizona with all the different plays, all 576 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: the different formations and things that they did, so I 577 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: love to see them and jest and show that they 578 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: can react. They get coached to. We have a hard 579 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: work and coaching stap busting. You know, they're bump every day. 580 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: So it's great to see that in the offense's ball out. 581 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: And it was great to see the Carlos's do the thing. 582 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: Carlos hide on offense, Carlos done lapbone, defense, return investments. 583 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: These are new guys to this organization. Always nice to 584 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: get them done. And the Seahawks didn't lose the turnover battle. 585 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: Now they didn't cause any turnovers, but they didn't lose 586 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: the turnover battle. That's what it's all about. If you 587 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: win the turnover a battle with this team, you typically 588 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: win the ball game. That's exactly what they did. They 589 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: played against the number one offense in the league. As 590 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: far as yardage, Ye held them to twenty one points. 591 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: That's the season low. Held Cola Murray to under what 592 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: fifteen yards rushing, which is amazing to me because he 593 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: can get fifteen yards rushing yards rushing on a single 594 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: play at any moment he can he can bust out 595 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: a fifteen yard ram. I love where this defense is 596 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: headed and they're getting healthy during a stretch, or they 597 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: got a chance to put some wins together. Man, Oh, 598 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: no question about it. This is this couldn't be a 599 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: better time. Coach Pete Carroll mentioned in his post kame 600 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: press conference that we're gonna see kill Griffin again, We're 601 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 1: gonna see Chris Carson again, and slowly but surely, these 602 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: guys are getting healthy at the right time. It's kind 603 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: of the opposite last season. So we can get everyone back, 604 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: we can really string together some wins. And that's the thing, man, 605 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: They married all three phases of the game without questioning 606 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: the complete game and season. Offense is playing well, defense 607 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: is playing well. Special teams was playing well. So you 608 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: love to see that because it's the first time we've 609 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: seen that all year.

But let's enjoy this for a while. 618 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: We got some time watch some other teams play this weekend. 619 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: But it's been real. The Seahawks beat the Cardinals twenty 620 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: eight twenty one. They get their revenge. Nice to see, 621 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: it's been real.
