Powered by Seahawks dot Com. Welcome 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: to Hawk Talk Preview edition Week Forward team. The Seahawks 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: traveled down to Texas to take on the Houston Texas. 12 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: Looking to go to one. No, that's all we're looking for. 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: But before we get into it, let's bring an asid 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: Chubby with the injury updates. Thanks bump Well. Starting today's 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: injury report, we got some depressing news unfortunately, herbal safety 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams will need surgery on his shoulder that will 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: end his season at Coach Carroll obviously disappointed. First thing, 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: I would just notice that you guys heard Jamal Adams 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: gonna have surgery. I think it's tomorrow on his shoulder, 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: and unfortunately he got hit just just the wrong way 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, and he's gonna have to 22 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: get fixed up. He's been through this before, and uh, 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's really rocked by it, of course, 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: but you know, we're all pulling for him to come 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: out and get out of this thing, get back as 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: soon as possible. But really disappointed for him as well 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: as us. On the positive side, looking like running back 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Alex Cons will be back this week after missing last 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: week's game against the forty nine ers. Yeah, yeah, matter 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: of fact, he was ready to go. He feels better. 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: The week off really did make a difference for him, 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: and so, uh that's so that was the idea that 33 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: maybe we could you know, gain a little bit if 34 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: we held him out, and so far from when we 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: talked this morning, he feels considerably better. So he'll has 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: just to be really active in this game plan. Lastly, 37 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: another missing piece of the Seahawks offense has guard Damian Lewis, 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: who looks ready to go after missing the last two weeks. 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: They yeah, he was out today, was ready to go. 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: So he's got to make sure, you know, we have 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: to make sure we get him through the week. But 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: that's a real plus to get him back after all. Right, 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: that's enough talk about injuries. It's time to get into 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: the Seahawks Week fourteen opponent. What's on tap? What's on tapp? 45 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: Seahawks taking on the Houston Texans, who are struggling this year. 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: They are two and ten. Their only wins on the 47 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: season or against the Jacksonville Jaguars and somehow over the 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans a couple weeks ago. I do not know 49 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: how that happened, Bump, And I'm just gonna be real 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: with you, man. Looking at the Texans on paper, this 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: is a game the Seahawks should win and dominate in 52 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: my opinion. I was gonna give you a background on 53 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: the Texans this year. It's been a long year man. 54 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: First year head coach David Cole has had his work 55 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: cut out fromm from the jump. And not only was 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: this first head coaching gig after twenty seven years as 57 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: assist in the NFL and forty three total coaching, he 58 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: stepped into one of the hardest situations in the NFL. Okay, 59 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: their starting quarterback to Shaun Watson, requested a trade before 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: he even showed up. Then Watson had all the off 61 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: field issues as we know, he's not played it down 62 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Then over the last couple of years, 63 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: the Texans have lost JJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins got out, 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: so they don't really have any superstar players. So after 65 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: beating the Jaguars in Week one, the Texans lost eight straight. 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: And my god, hasn't been a struggle for this offense. 67 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: They've been shut out twice this season and scored fourteen 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: points or less eight different times. They've also had some 69 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: disciplinary issues. They're star linebackers. That Cunningham was inactive against 70 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: the Colts for one of those issues. He was inactive 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: earlier in the season because he missed a team meeting 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: and the Texans just had enough today they released him 73 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: put him on waivers after giving him a five year, 74 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: like forty eight million dollar contract. Right and things have 75 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: been particularly bad for the Texans against the Colts, and 76 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: two games against the Colts the Texans were outscored sixty 77 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: two to three. These guys have not scored a point 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: against the Texans since the last six quarters, so the 79 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: box score pretty much tells you everything you know about 80 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: their last game. They lost thirty one to zero. I'll 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: just routed through a couple of these things. They were 82 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: dominated time in possession. The Texans had the ball for 83 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: eighteen minutes twenty five seconds, the Colts had it for 84 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: forty one minutes thirty five seconds. India had twenty six 85 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: first downs and Texans had nine. India had three hundred 86 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: eighty I had totally yards, Texans had one to forty 87 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: one three or twelve and the the third down total domination. 88 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: Things were bad from the jump, interception, fumble, all this stuff. 89 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna go through all the stats because 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: it was bad. But it got even worse. Tyrod Taylor 91 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: injured his wrist. They weren't sure if he can go 92 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: back in the game because he could whether he could 93 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: grip the ball or not. But before he came out, 94 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: he was five and thirteen for forty five yards. Insert 95 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: Davis Mills. He wasn't very good either. He was six 96 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: or fourteen for forty nine yards and kind of his 97 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: whole year. The head coach, David Cole has been behind 98 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, saying he's our quarterback if he's healthy. This 99 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: week he kind of started to change his tone. They 100 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: got to reevaluate everything, so we'll see bump. But in short, 101 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: these Texans are having a tough season. Yes, they are 102 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: having a tough one, and I'm glad that we're playing them. 103 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's go, let's get another victory this week, and we're 104 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: gonna look at these head to head comparisons and this 105 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: is the first time in a long time now we 106 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: look at these head to head numbers and we're like, Okay, 107 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: we match up pretty well against this team. Now. We know, 108 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: like personnel wise, scheme wise, because we watched the Seahawks 109 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: every single week, we know where their strength and their 110 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: weaknesses are, regardless of what these numbers say. But when 111 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: you break down this head to head comparison total offense, 112 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: the Hawks are the thirty first ranked offense in the league. 113 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: The Texans are the thirty second rush offense. Hawks are 114 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: ranked twenty fourth, The Texas are ranked thirty second. Pass offense. 115 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: Hawks are ranked twenty seven, the Texas are ranked thirty first. 116 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: And then points per game. Hawks are putting up nineteen 117 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: that's twenty second and the Texans are putting up thirteen. 118 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Out is thirty two. Switch over to the defense. Total defense, 119 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: don't worry Hawks still got it there. Thirty first ranked 120 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: defense in the league, Texans twenty eight against the run, 121 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: the Hawks are twenty fourth and Texans are thirty second 122 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: against the past the Hawks are thirty second. This is 123 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: where the Texans have a little edge. They are ranked 124 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: fifteenth points allow per game. The Hawks are six allowing 125 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: twenty point eight and the Texans are thirtieth allowing twenty 126 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: six points per game. Now, if you throw the football 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: in the air irresponsibly, yeah, the Texas can come down 128 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 1: with it because they got fourteen interceptions to the Hawks seven. 129 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: If there's something they do well is these dbs will 130 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: get after the football win is thrown up in the 131 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: area responsibly. But other than that, I watched the film, 132 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: I look at them on paper. This is the first 133 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: game of the year where I feel extremely confident going 134 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: into this thing. Respect everybody though, of course this is 135 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: the NFL, and then they have They do have some history, 136 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: no your history. It's not a deep history though these teams. 137 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: Given that the Texans are in the Nancy South, the 138 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Seahawks only play them about every four years. Seahawks lead 139 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: the all time series three to one. However, the last 140 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: time these teams linked up It was a shootout at 141 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Looman Field, with the Seahawks winning forty one to thirty eight, 142 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: and it was all about the QB's big time battle 143 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: between Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson. Both teams combined for 144 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: nine hundred and eighty eight yards of total offense, which 145 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: is unbelievable because Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and Camp Chancellor 146 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner, all those dudes were still playing in this 147 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: matchup back in twenty seventeen. Russell Wilson said a career 148 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: high that still stands today in passing yards with four 149 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two as well as four touchdowns and 150 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: one interception. Deshaun Watson wasn't too far behind, going nineteen 151 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: to thirty for four hundred and two yards and four touchdowns, 152 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: but he was turned over three times, including an interception 153 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: pick six by Earl Thomas. Tyler Lockett Paul Richton each 154 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: had over one hundred yards to lead the Seahawks and 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: d Hot Boy, who went off eight receptions two hundred 156 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: and twenty four yards and one touchdown. The game came 157 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: down to the wire. The Seahawks got the ball back 158 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: with one thirty nine remaining in the fourth quarter, trailing 159 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: thirty eight to thirty four, and just he plays Russell. 160 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: Wilson led them down the field and linked up with 161 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham for this eighteen yard touchdown to take lead. 162 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 1: Russell gets the offense to the line. Is he gonna 163 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: slam it down? Where's he gonna bake a play? He 164 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: takes a snap, He's gonna look down field, He's gonna 165 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: throw Jimmy gram touchdown. Seahawks Jimmy Graham on a shot 166 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: right down the middle of the field. Are you kidding me? 167 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Holy Catfish? Want a play? Want a five and eighteen 168 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: yard play? And the twelves aren't going nuts? I remember 169 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: that game specifically other than all the fireworks, because Steve 170 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Rabel had lost his voice going into that game. As 171 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: he saw it wasn't the typical Steve Rabel voice to 172 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: finish out a call, especially in a big time moment. 173 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: So happy Rabel got some tea and was healthy after 174 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: that game. But it was a tough moment. So anyway, 175 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: long story short, the Seahawks have owned the Texans in 176 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: their four matchups, going three in one. Hopefully we'll see 177 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: some more fireworks offensively and the Seahawks will be able 178 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: to shut them out on offense. All right, let's check 179 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: in what's going on in the NFC West with what's 180 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: the word and the Seahawks where the NFC West champs? Again, 181 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: what's the word in the West? On hot talk? NFC 182 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: Weston's doing what it does. The errors on the Cardinals 183 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: are ten and two? Are they the best team in 184 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: the NFL? I think so. People are trying to put 185 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: the package in front of them tenants two. You cannot 186 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: deny that Los Angeles Rams are eight and four the 187 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty niners or six and six, but you 188 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: know the Seahawks just gave them another. LMS are at 189 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: the bottom of the barrel at four in a yes, 190 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: San fran you are six and six, but who at 191 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: those losses come to your come from the Seattle Seahawks. Now, 192 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: the Rams played the Jags last week. The Rams from 193 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: the start got it going and it was just a 194 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: beat down man. The Jags followed two and ten on 195 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: the season. The Rams lost three consecutive games prior to this. 196 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: They knew this was get right game. You played the 197 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: Jaguars on a three game skid, You're like look, we're 198 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: gonna make this happen. The Rams led sixteen to seven. 199 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: Had happened. We scored twenty one unanswered points in the 200 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: second half win in the game, thirty seven to seven. 201 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford struggled over the past few weeks. He got 202 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: going again in twenty six to thirty eight, twenty ninety 203 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: five yards, three touchdowns and zero intercessions. Last three games 204 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: he threw five, so he's back on track. Cooper Cup 205 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: just does what he does. Eight receptions, one hundred and 206 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: twenty nine yards, one touchdown. Then he had an interview 207 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: after the game and he broke down a play and 208 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: made it sound so complicated too, Moss, But it's just football. 209 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: I love the response, and I like the way Twitter 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: has jumped on a touchdown. Specifically, your defender went and blitz. 211 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: What did you see there? How were you able to 212 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: use that to your advantage? Yeah, he's had a little 213 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: three deep fire zone, brought the nickel off the edge 214 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: safety dropped down. They didn't look like they're doing a 215 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: replacement fire zone. So I knew at the back of 216 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: the way we were gonna get three pushing through. I 217 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: had all three to kind of run in there if 218 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: I could beat my guy and just had to beat 219 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: the safety to the end zone. For people who don't 220 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: have a PhD in football or hear that play and 221 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: just it just jumbled nonsense, break it down for the 222 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: listeners to bring it, bring it back to Simpleton's terms, 223 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: because even though it sounded really complex, it really wasn't. 224 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: Now not very complex at all. Pretty much the safety 225 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: rolls down, starting to two high. Safety rolls down. They 226 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: show a cover three. Look that Nickel fires me. He 227 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: blitzes off the ass. He goes, look, he's not gonna 228 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: replace him, So this running back is going to influence 229 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. Running back is swinging the opposite way. 230 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: The second level's gonna to flow that way. Now he 231 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: knows all he has to do is sprint to a 232 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: certain spot of the film and he's good to go. 233 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: But it sounds way more intelligent when you break it 234 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: down the way Cooper Cup did. I loved it. The 235 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: thing I loved about it too, is even though in 236 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: the football world that's not super complex, but it's still 237 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: a lot. And that just gives you an insight to 238 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: what everyone has to do on the football field. So 239 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: everyone who's calling place from your couch. Who is who 240 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: is talking at the water cool or at the coffee 241 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: stand in the morning or in the break room. Who 242 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: knows everything about football? Relax a little bit because the 243 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: guys who are playing, in coaching and doing it know 244 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: a lot more than you do. And that's at the 245 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: receiver position. Every position has similar things that they're looking 246 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: for in every single play. And on top of that, bump, 247 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback position needs to know all of it everything, 248 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: So relax everybody. But anyway, shout out Cooper cup because he, 249 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: as we talked about on this program many times, he's 250 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: one of the best in the national football leagues. So 251 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: good to see Cooper getting after it. As long as 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: he gonna do it against Seahawks. I'm fine. Hey, we're 253 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: all good. We're all good. There are other players who 254 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: played well other than Cooper. Cups sold him. Michelle had 255 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: a nice day in the ground. Twenty four carries, one 256 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: hundred twenty one yards and one touchdown. Trevor Lawrence Man, 257 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: poor guy number one pick got married. I mean, life 258 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: is good for this dude. What he loses twice in college, 259 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: maybe once in high school and he is just going 260 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: through a tough season. He won sixteen to twenty eight, 261 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: one hundred forty five yards, zero touchdown, but zero interceptions. 262 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: This defeat means urban Meyer will lose at least twice 263 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: as minigames in his rooky NFL season as he ever 264 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: did in any of his seventeen seasons as head coach. 265 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: At the college level. That NFL will humble your you 266 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: know what, from Trevor Lawrence to Urban Meyer. You're not 267 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: just gonna come in here and save the day. You 268 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: need a real team around you, and it takes some time. 269 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: You know, I can't think of a college coach who 270 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: came in and just toured up from the jump. There's 271 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: always been an adjustment period that you have to make, 272 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: no question about it. You look at Nick Saban. Nick 273 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Saban wasn't successful in the NFL. Right, people forget Pete 274 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: Carroll was in the NFL for a long time before 275 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: he went back to USC and was a great defensive 276 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: coordinator in San Francisco when they had all that success. 277 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: But you know it was in the Patriots. He had 278 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: three seasons took him the playoffs coach for the Jets too, 279 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: but his first couple of seasons weren't great, but his 280 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: not great seasons were never anywhere near as bad as 281 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: what Urban's going through. So you're right, the NFL will 282 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: humble you. And also in the division, billboarded the Cardinals 283 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: they were taking on the Bears. Kyler Murray made his 284 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: return after missing about a month from injury, and he 285 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: just made it look easy. Man. These Cardinals, they were 286 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: coming off a bye. Improved his seven and oh on 287 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: the road, and each one of those wins by ten 288 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: points or more. Jalen Thompson Buddha Baker each picked off 289 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: passes on Chicago's first couple possessions. Murray took advantage, linking 290 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: up with Hopkins on a twenty yard or then scrambling 291 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: for a nine yard touchdown. He also threw twenty yard 292 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: touchdown at James Conner, making twenty one to seven, sending 293 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: Chicago to their six loss in the last seven games. 294 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: Murray completed eleven of fifteen passes for one hundred and 295 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: twenty three yards, giving him ten thousand, ninety two yards 296 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: in three seasons. On a rough, nasty afternoon, and at 297 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four years of age, he became the fourth 298 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: youngest player with ten thousand career passing yards. According to 299 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: NFL research, he also joined Cam Newton is the only 300 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: players in NFL history with at least ten thousand yards 301 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: passing in fifteen fifteen hundred yards rushing in his first 302 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: three seasons. Jandre Hopkins also came back from hamstring injury, 303 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: caught two passes for thirty two yards. Was used kind 304 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: of sparingly. James Conner had seventy five yards rushing thirty 305 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: six receiving. Bears just really couldn't overcome all those interceptions 306 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: thrown by Andy Dalton, who had four of them. Cardinals 307 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: improved to a league best tenants to record. Now, I 308 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: don't really know, Bump. I mean, there's not a lot 309 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: else to say. These guys are a good football team. 310 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: They show a weekend week out no matter who's playing. 311 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: So they're gonna be a force to be reckoned with 312 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: heading into the postseason. We'll see what happens after that. 313 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: Current playoffs standings, all you need to know is the 314 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: Niners are six and six and they're holding the final 315 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: playoffs spot. Seahawks are four and ain't. Obviously a lot 316 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: of chaos would have to happen, but as Pete Carroll said, 317 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: they ain't dead yet. Okay, you know me a mister positivity. 318 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: They're not done yet. It would take mountains would have 319 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: to move for something to happen. But they're only two 320 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: games out with five to play. Sehawks went out, Who knows? 321 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: I saw I saw a meme, Right, you shouldn't get 322 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: information from memes, but I saw a meme NS and 323 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: it said if the Seahawgs went out and there are 324 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: no other upsets, they make the playoffs. How true is that? 325 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm gonna hold onto that. I 326 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: hold on. You hold onto the memes you like, right me, 327 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold onto that one. Absolutely. Hey, there's a lot. 328 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure if you jump in those playoffs simulators, I'm 329 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: sure there's a million different ways where it could possibly happen. Shoot, 330 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: going into last week, there was a scenario where the 331 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: Lions can make the playoffs. I mean, I don't think 332 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: it's still possible, but they did some crazy thing and 333 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: they were still mathematically not eliminated. So I'm saying there's 334 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: a chance. I know it's a long shot. I know 335 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: people listen are probably crush me for it. I'm not 336 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm not thinking that far. Seahawks didn't need to take 337 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: care of business on Sunday. But I'm saying there's a chance. 338 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: But anyway, let's get back to those Houston Texans. Man 339 00:16:50,960 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: up is this man on Hawk Talk? First matchup? We're 340 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: gonna look at Texas quarterback versus the Seahawks defense, Tyrod Taylor. Man, 341 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: this fella right here might be the unluckiest quarterback in 342 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. He has lost his starting job three times 343 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: already in his career. He lost it in Buffalo to 344 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. Why, I don't know, Nathan Peterman, don't get it. 345 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Then he loses his job in Cleveland when he got 346 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: a concussion. In the Baker Mayfield took over. He's been 347 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: to start ever since. That makes more sense. You knew 348 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: Baker was eventually going to be the guy who's waiting 349 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: for his term. And then in La he lost it 350 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: when a team doctor accidentally punctured his lung. Given justin 351 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: Herbert the keys to the car. We knew that was 352 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna happen too. But it's kind of like just how 353 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: he has lost his job. This guy is just super unlucky. 354 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: Can't catch a break now. This year, he started the 355 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: season as QB one started the first game. Excuse me started, 356 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: started the game and then injured his hamstring. Injured his hamstring. 357 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: He's banged up again. It feels like the injury bug 358 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: and the unfortunate bug just follows Tyrod Taylor around. He 359 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: misses the next six game games. His replacement, David Mills, 360 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: will go oh and six on those ball games. Taylor returns, 361 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: he goes one and three. Taylor left the game Sunday 362 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: with a risk injury. He was five or thirteen forty 363 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: five yards. Mills comes in, didn't do much six to 364 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: fourteen forty nine yards. Then you gotta look at that online. 365 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: Lots of injuries and shuffling on online. Let's impacted both quarterbacks. 366 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: You gotta have a quarterback, obviously, but you gotta have 367 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: an on line to protect as a starter or while 368 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: Taylor's in there. He was ninety one to one fifty 369 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: nine hundred six six yards, five touchdowns, five interceptions, nineteen 370 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: carries one hundred and fifty one yards and three touchdowns. 371 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: Mills one forty six two twenty three fourteen hundred yards, 372 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, eight interceptions. Head coach Coolly, we'll name a 373 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: starter later this week. All right, the Seahaw defense needs 374 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: to shut down whoever's at the QB spot Tyrod Taylor's 375 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: has some good years, He's has some good moments. I 376 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: think those moments are behind him, and I feel like 377 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: Mills just wants to turn the ball over anyway. The 378 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: Texas are thirty first in passing and they are thirty 379 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: seconds when it comes to points per game, averaging thirteen. 380 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: This is set up for the Seahawks defense to continue 381 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: to grow and be dominant. You need to take careful ball, 382 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: team ass Andrey's on an old line and no stability 383 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, no question about it. They're dead 384 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: lasting points per game, they can't score, They're thirty first 385 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: and pat I mean they everything. The Seahawks have had 386 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: tough moments, so I'm not saying that obviously this year offensively, 387 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: but everything the Texans do, it's a grind, it's a fight. 388 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: So if the Seahawks really need to take advantage defensively 389 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to the next matchup, QB one for 390 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: the Seahawks Russell Wilson against the Texans defense. Russell played 391 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: his best game since returning from the finger injury, and 392 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't close. Last week against the forty nine ers, 393 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: he was an efficient thirty to thirty seven two hundred 394 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: and thirty one yards, two touchdowns, and he was able 395 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: to get the Seahawks in a rhythm for really the 396 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: first time since we've seen since that Jaguars game on Halloween. 397 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: So it's been a while, and I expect this trend 398 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: to continue the Texans. They're twenty eighth overall defense, towards 399 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: the bottom of the league, and they're dead last stopping 400 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: the run. They're thirtieth in points per game line twenty six, 401 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: So I feel like Russells should have a big day 402 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: building off of what we saw. Head coach Pe Carroll 403 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: talked about it last week. He got to the eight 404 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: week mark from his injury, when he was supposed to 405 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: tecking me back the first time. He expected him to 406 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: be his closer to his normal self, the best performance 407 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: we've seen from him. Predicted that before the game. It 408 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: came true, and I expect nothing, nothing less from the 409 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: quarterback on Sunday against Texans. All right, next matchup, Texans 410 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: running back verse the Seahawks front seven. Guess who the 411 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Texans leading rusher is. Nasa Choby's mark ingram ninety two 412 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: carries twenty ninety four yards, one touchdown. But he ain't 413 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: there no more. He has gone. He is back with 414 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: the saying, so they're gonna rely on guys like David Johnson. Say. 415 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: He's the second leading the rusher on the team. Fifty 416 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: six cars one hundred seventy six yards, averaging three point 417 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: one yards per carry. He has twenty eight receptions for 418 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and fourteen yards and one receiving touchdown. David 419 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: Johnson man, remember when he was with the Arizona Cardinals, 420 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: an excitement that he had, and something happened when he 421 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: went to the Texas just fell off a little bit. 422 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is a third leading rusher while playing in 423 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: only six games. And then you have Rex Burkhead, who 424 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: has shown some explosiveness. It's not the guy that we 425 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: were used to see him, but I broke down a 426 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: couple of plays and there's some power football going on. 427 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: He can still get north south. We'll see if he 428 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: can handle twenty twenty five carries a game. There's just 429 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: not much in that backfield. You're relying on your quarterback 430 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: to really get it done. David Johnson, who hasn't shown 431 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: that he can be in every down back the last 432 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: few years, and then Burkhead, I look at his backfield 433 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: and I'm not too concerned when it comes to the 434 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: playbackers over there. Yeah, you look at burkheads last three games, 435 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: eight carries thirty yards, twelve carries twenty seven yards, eighteen 436 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: carries forty yards. They struggled to running football and it 437 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: shows there they're bouncing back and forth. David Johnson was 438 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: inactive last week with illness and a thigh injury, so 439 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: we'll see if he's back this week. But either way, 440 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, whoever's back there, I think the Sehaws should 441 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: have the advantage. Last week, the Seahawks held the powerful 442 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers rushing attack to seventy five yards on 443 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: twenty one carries. Prior to that game, the forty nine 444 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: Ers and their last three ravaging one hundred and seventy 445 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: eight yards a game, so they were doing it. The 446 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: Seahawks shut him down. Obviously, there's no Deebo Samuel, but 447 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell still ball player, and the Seahawks came with it. 448 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: Al Woods and all those guys played really well, and 449 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: they're thirty second in rushing yards in averaging just seventy 450 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: eight per game, so the Seahawks should definitely dominate this matchup. 451 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: Another matchup, Bump, I think you'll agree with me on 452 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: this one. Brandon Cooks taken on the Seahawks secondary. When 453 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: you go through the Texans roster, Brandon cook is the 454 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: one guy that scares you. On the season, Cooks is 455 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: sixty five receptions, seven hundred and forty two yards, three touchdowns. 456 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: He's had four straight one thousand yards seasons from twenty 457 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty eighteen with the Saints, Patriots and Rams. 458 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: Last year, Cook's had a nice first season with Houston 459 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: eighty one receptions eleven hundred and fifty yards, six touchdowns. 460 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: But Bump, there's a huge draw Boff when you look 461 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: at the rest of the Texans offense. The second leading 462 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: receiver Chris Conley, he only has fourteen receptions two hundred 463 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: and thirty three yards in one touchdown. So if you 464 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: can shut down Brandon Cooks, I don't really see where 465 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: they go in this pass game. Texas man, he was 466 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: like a hidden gym with the Texans. You watch him. 467 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: He has speed, great route running, good hands. Man. It 468 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: must be frustrating for a guy like him to be 469 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: over there and just be handcuffed, all right. Next matchup 470 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: DK Madcap and Tyler Lockett versus the Texans secondary. It's 471 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: another matchup. The Seahawks should have an advantage. But even 472 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: though we talked about the secondary calls and turnovers, this 473 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: is DK and Tyler Lockett. Last week we saw them 474 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: get back on track. The duel combined for twelve receptions, 475 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: one hundred twenty eight yards and one touchdowns. Not huge numbers, 476 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: but we wanted more targets. We got more targets to 477 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: that guy, to those excuse me, those two guys. So 478 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: far on the season, Lockett fifty seven receptions, eight hundred 479 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: and eighty one yards and four touchdowns. You look at 480 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: a DK fifty two receptions, seven hundred ten yards in 481 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. The secondary, they're gonna have their handful, all right. 482 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: They struggle stopping the run, but they are pretty good 483 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: against the past. Like I mentioned, they ran fifteenth in 484 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: the NFL allowing the two hundred and thirty four yards 485 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: per game and at fourteen interceptions as a unit in 486 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: comparison to Seahawks only have seven over there. On the 487 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: defensive side, they got Desmond King. He's got three passes defended, 488 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: two interceptions. You got Terrence Mitchell, He's got nine passes 489 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: defended one interception. You got Lonnie Johnson Junior, four passes defended, 490 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: three interceptions. They got some guys over there, justin Reid, 491 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: Eric Murray. I mean, again, like we mentioned, this is 492 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: the NFL. Guys aren't bad in the NFL. Teams are 493 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 1: bad in the NFL. So they got some guys who 494 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: who can call some turnovers. Yeah. Absolutely, this is the 495 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: thing that they do. And you said at the beginning 496 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,239 Speaker 1: of the podcast, as long as the Seahawks and when 497 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: you said aren't reckless with the football and decision making, 498 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I think they should be good there. Justin Reid's probably 499 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: when I looked at the film, one of their bigger 500 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: playmakers in the secondary, I think he does a lot 501 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: for them. And they take the football away from the 502 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: ball staring them, they're gonna come down with it. So 503 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: we'll see what the Seahawks can do. The last matchup 504 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: Won went to take a look at is Jonathan Greenard 505 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: and Jacob Martin versus the Seahawks offensive line. Similar to 506 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, the Texans don't really get after the quarterback 507 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: with high sack numbers. They got twenty six on the season. 508 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: Second year player Jonathan Greenard has eight of those in 509 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: eight sacks in nine games played. He's also got twenty 510 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: seven tackles, nine TFLs, two four stumbles and three passes defended, 511 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: so he's doing well there. Former Seahawks Jacob Martin he's 512 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: also turning a pretty good player and been successful there. 513 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: He's trade to Houston if you guys remember the Jadeveon 514 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: Clowney trade, excuse me, and he's second in the team 515 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: in sacks. He's got four of those. He also has 516 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: twenty tackles, five tackles for loss, and two four stumbles. 517 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: So those two guys are are doing some nice things. 518 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: They're not gonna get after the quarterback and crazy numbers, 519 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: but these are guys you want to stop and they're 520 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: effective when they have their opportunities in certain pass us situations. 521 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: So stay out a third and long, and I think 522 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: the Seahawks offensive line will hopefully stop these guys because 523 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: they're banged up too. So this s a matchup that 524 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: we'll have to look throughout the week and see how 525 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: things are progressing. Because the Seahawks offensive line did struggle 526 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: a little bit last week. Jacob Martin's playing some good football. Man. 527 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: He's one of the guys. When I put on the film, 528 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I see I see Jake Barton, 529 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: I see you. All right, man, how are they going 530 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: to get this thing done? Here's your path to victory? 531 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: After forty five waits for the snaff, Michael Dickson puts 532 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: it down. That kick is away. If that kick is gone, 533 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: it's gone. It's a pass to victory. On Hawk Talk, 534 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: get after these guys from the first snap up. Get 535 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: after them from snap number one. They don't really do 536 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: anything well offensively, and they're dead last in almost every category. 537 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: You gotta start from the beginning. I don't care who's 538 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: playing that quarterback. I don't care if it's Syrar Taylor, 539 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't care if steven S Mills. Both of them struggled. 540 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: Both of them are prone to turnovers, and you absolutely 541 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: need to take the ball away. I think the Seahawks 542 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: can get two or three interceptions this week, so looking 543 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: forward to that. But get after those quarterbacks and protect 544 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: your quarterback please. Russell Wilson was sacked four times and 545 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: hit eight times last week. The forty nine defensive line 546 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: is way more talented than the Texans. This needs to 547 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: be a huge improvement. Russell needs to be back there 548 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: sitting comfy, sipping t reading bucks. I want my guy. 549 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: I want this jersey clean. I know we play on turf. 550 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: Texas play on turf yea, they play on turf two, 551 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: so no grass marks, But I want that jersey, nice 552 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: and clean. Man protect Russell Wilson absolutely and staying along 553 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: with Russ. I want to see the same rust we 554 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: saw last week. He was getting the ball out quick, 555 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: he was taking the shots when they were there, taking 556 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: the defense gave to him. He's playing consistent, played the 557 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: best game since his injury, so I'm looking forward to 558 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: seeing that. Also want to see DK and Tyler. They 559 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: need eat eight targets apiece, eight targets a piece at least. 560 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't think the secondary can contain those guys. We 561 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 1: saw what happens when they get their targets and they 562 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: get their opportunities, they're gonna make play. So I definitely 563 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: want to see DK and Tyler involved early and often. 564 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: With that, I also want to see them run the football. 565 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: The Texans I've had trouble stopping to run all year 566 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: they ranked dead last where there's ap could be shot 567 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: and Collins Dallas homeward matter, find a way, go one 568 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: in oh get the first win streak of the season 569 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: and keep stacking these wins.
