0:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to Hawk Talk with former Seahawks wide receiver
0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus, powered by Seahawks dot Com. Now here's your host,
0:09
Speaker 1: Nasa Chobee.
0:11
Speaker 2: Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk Victory Tuesday at
0:16
Speaker 2: the Reginia Mason Athletics Center. Seahawks get it done on
0:19
Speaker 2: Monday Night football, taking down the Texans twenty seven to nineteen.
0:23
Speaker 2: Bump And I'll say this, that game was odd.
0:25
Speaker 3: It was.
0:26
Speaker 2: It was a game that you felt the Seahawks absolutely dominated,
0:28
Speaker 2: but Denois show up on the scoreboard. But here's what
0:31
Speaker 2: set out to me before we get into it. Mike
0:33
Speaker 2: McDonald preaches a couple of things. A style that nobody
0:36
Speaker 2: wants to play through, not around decisive, relentless shockings. We
0:43
Speaker 2: saw that defensively all game long yesterday, and we're gonna
0:46
Speaker 2: talk a lot about the defense. The atmosphere was crazy,
0:48
Speaker 2: but building off that what we saw last night, that's
0:52
Speaker 2: how championships are won. I'm not saying we're there yet,
0:54
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, defensively, when you shut down the run,
0:57
Speaker 2: you play like they did, it can lead to great things.
0:59
Speaker 2: And I would love to We saw.
1:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you just fight through some stuff.
1:02
Speaker 4: It wasn't the cleanest game, right, but you did do
1:04
Speaker 4: some great things. You helped them to what like third
1:07
Speaker 4: down percentage which was crazy two for something on the
1:10
Speaker 4: two for fourteen, I think they were something like that.
1:12
Speaker 4: You wasn't great on third down either, but at least
1:14
Speaker 4: you didn't allow them to do their thing shut down
1:16
Speaker 4: the run. So there are some positives. And honestly, when
1:19
Speaker 4: you win games like this that's kind of sloppy. You
1:21
Speaker 4: let some points out there, you just build some type
1:24
Speaker 4: of callous and it's a good teach tape. T tape
1:27
Speaker 4: is great when you win. Absolutely when you lose, it's
1:29
Speaker 4: a different story.
1:30
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I love to learn things and win. So
1:32
Speaker 2: Siak did that last night. Like you said, it wasn't
1:34
Speaker 2: the best and it was needed for this city.
1:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:37
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a tough night obviously with the Manners loss,
1:41
Speaker 2: but it was great that Seahawk took care of business.
1:43
Speaker 2: And that's what we're gonna talk about. What had happened. See,
1:47
Speaker 2: what had happened was what had happened at first was what.
1:50
Speaker 1: Had happened was on Hawk Talk.
1:53
Speaker 2: I said it off top Bump. It felt like the
1:54
Speaker 2: Seahawk should have been up thirty points. I mean, they
1:56
Speaker 2: were dominating this football game on the scoreboard, through every where,
2:00
Speaker 2: butt thiscore word actually in the Texans just hung around.
2:03
Speaker 2: They're a good football team. We knew that coming in.
2:06
Speaker 2: But Seahawks went three and out in their first possession,
2:08
Speaker 2: and then it seemed like Chennon and Wosu had a sack.
2:11
Speaker 2: I thought it was a safety too. I thought it
2:13
Speaker 2: was a safety tackle him knee down in the end zone.
2:15
Speaker 2: Ball in the end zone as well. Somehow his forward
2:19
Speaker 2: progress were stopped outside the end zone. I don't understand it.
2:22
Speaker 2: It is what it is. I don't want to get
2:23
Speaker 2: in trouble on this thing. But either way, another great
2:26
Speaker 2: play by Chenna because Seahawks get the ball back. They
2:28
Speaker 2: would then get the scoring going with a five play
2:30
Speaker 2: forty four yard drive to end with a one yard
2:32
Speaker 2: touchdown run by Zack Scharbonday give me the Seahawks a
2:35
Speaker 2: seven nothing lead that was set up by two huge
2:37
Speaker 2: catches by Elijah Royal, including a big twenty seven yard grab.
2:40
Speaker 4: Yep, the Hawks will force a punt and in the
2:42
Speaker 4: offense would march right down the field again.
2:44
Speaker 3: They go ten plays eighty yards and with an eleven
2:47
Speaker 3: yard touchdown.
2:48
Speaker 4: The JSNA strike given the Seahawks a fourteen zero league
2:51
Speaker 4: and we're gonna break that play down later. The next
2:53
Speaker 4: three drives win in punts, which included yet another play
2:57
Speaker 4: that looked like it was going to be a safety
2:59
Speaker 4: against the Techs. We'll spare all the details, just know
3:03
Speaker 4: that technically the play never happened.
3:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was listening to the head official try to
3:07
Speaker 2: explain what happened and what your eyes saw. I've never
3:09
Speaker 2: been in a game where you should have had two safeties,
3:11
Speaker 2: but it is what it is.
3:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, first time for me, it was It was funny
3:14
Speaker 4: because I was in the booth with you guys and
3:16
Speaker 4: Raves and Wyman when it went down, and listening to
3:18
Speaker 4: Rabele even trying to make sense of it.
3:20
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, man, I'm done. I'm not
3:21
Speaker 3: eve gonna try to understand this anymore.
3:23
Speaker 4: But the Hawks had a pretty promise in driving the
3:25
Speaker 4: next possession, but disaster struck when the Hawks died up
3:28
Speaker 4: a trick play and Cooper's cup pass was intercepted intended
3:31
Speaker 4: for js And look, you tell a receiver he's throwing
3:34
Speaker 4: a ball in the double pass, He's gonna throw that
3:36
Speaker 4: ball no matter what, Yeah, won a horrible throw dismissed
3:38
Speaker 4: a little high, but not a horrible throw. But I
3:42
Speaker 4: did scratch my head, thinking, man, maybe we should have
3:44
Speaker 4: just ran that football or something basic. But if that
3:48
Speaker 4: play is completed, we're gassing up Koubya.
3:51
Speaker 2: Of course, Mike McDonald said it in postgame. He said, well,
3:53
Speaker 2: don't you guys trust Cooper Cup and I do too, Right,
3:56
Speaker 2: Obviously things go his way. Jason was open. He dismissed
3:59
Speaker 2: the throw. Unfortunate for the Seahawks there, and that led
4:03
Speaker 2: to the first scoring drive for the Texans. They go
4:04
Speaker 2: ten play six yards, ending with a thirty six yard
4:06
Speaker 2: field goal that made it fourteen to three. The Hawks
4:09
Speaker 2: would then get a field goal blocked, which set up
4:11
Speaker 2: another three points for the Texans. Unfortunately, they steal some
4:13
Speaker 2: points and it's fourteen to six at halftime and you're thinking, no,
4:16
Speaker 2: this game minimum should be twenty one three, if not
4:19
Speaker 2: twenty eight zero. So that was a tough way to
4:21
Speaker 2: go into the halftime. But the Seahawks came out got
4:24
Speaker 2: things going in the third quarter.
4:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, third quarter got a little weird. Started off with
4:27
Speaker 4: an interception by Ernest. We're gonna break that one down
4:29
Speaker 4: too that set up Jason Myers field goal. The Hawks
4:32
Speaker 4: will force a punt, but disaster struck again with Donald
4:35
Speaker 4: was hit and sacked in the end zone, fumbled and
4:37
Speaker 4: was recovered by Will Anderson for a touchdown. That made
4:39
Speaker 4: the score of seventeen to twelve. So the Seahawks responded though,
4:43
Speaker 4: they got a field goal, and then the defense will
4:45
Speaker 4: step up again stopping the Texans on fourth and one
4:48
Speaker 4: and from their own forty one yard line.
4:50
Speaker 3: Big play by DeMarcus Lawrence.
4:52
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we talked about this last week when came back
4:54
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville. He is a baller. He is a game
4:58
Speaker 2: changer on this defense. Huge with him out, they love
5:00
Speaker 2: to seeing him making plays there. From there, the Hawks
5:02
Speaker 2: were marched right down on a short field. Zach Sharbonney
5:04
Speaker 2: finds the ends and again from two yards out, making
5:06
Speaker 2: the score twenty seven to twelve at the end of
5:08
Speaker 2: the third quarter. That scoring drive was helped out by
5:10
Speaker 2: Jaysn forcing a pass interference. He probably catches that touchdown
5:13
Speaker 2: on that play if that does not happen, And at
5:16
Speaker 2: that point in the game, bumps pretty clear Seahawks were
5:18
Speaker 2: in control. They were dominating this game. It should he
5:20
Speaker 2: be even a bigger margin. It wasn't. But then the
5:24
Speaker 2: game just not got away, just one of those like
5:26
Speaker 2: you knew they were going to win, but it wasn't
5:27
Speaker 2: clean towards the end. Defensively, the Hawks kept the pressure on.
5:30
Speaker 2: They forced a punt, two turnover on downs. But then
5:33
Speaker 2: offensively the Hawks turn the ball over twice. You go
5:35
Speaker 2: three and out before ending the game on the final
5:38
Speaker 2: possession thanks to an unnecessary roughness penalty by Houston. You
5:41
Speaker 2: kneel it out. Twenty seven nineteen win. You don't apologize
5:43
Speaker 2: for wins in this league.
5:44
Speaker 5: Now.
5:44
Speaker 4: He scored twenty seven against the defense I was given
5:46
Speaker 4: up twelve, So yeah, you're good to go. Saw this
5:50
Speaker 4: from Brady Henderson the context on how much the Seahawks
5:53
Speaker 4: defense helped their offense tonight. Seattle had five scoring drives
5:56
Speaker 4: and three of them began in Houston territory. That's always
5:59
Speaker 4: good short in that field, a lot of your offense
6:01
Speaker 4: to go to work. The seahaw scored twenty seven points,
6:03
Speaker 4: like I said, against a team that's only given a
6:05
Speaker 4: twelve point two, so that is a plus there. It
6:08
Speaker 4: was a good result despite a tough day offensively, four
6:10
Speaker 4: turnovers two for fourteen on thirds, six penalties.
6:12
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on with that offense.
6:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again we've seen them at the highest of highs.
6:16
Speaker 2: This offense operates at a high level. They were going
6:18
Speaker 2: against a good opun and we talked about all the
6:20
Speaker 2: dogs they have on defense and they still we're gonna
6:22
Speaker 2: get into some of those matchups still. But you know what,
6:25
Speaker 2: I feel really good about this team, bump, and they
6:27
Speaker 2: could be scary good five and two. Coach McDonald said
6:29
Speaker 2: post game, we can't expect Julian Love, Devin Witherspoon and
6:33
Speaker 2: then hopefully Robbie oots back after the bye. This team
6:35
Speaker 2: at full strength. I love that Mike McDonald is finally
6:38
Speaker 2: in position where he has to decide who's going to
6:40
Speaker 2: play in the secondary. I love that. So the Seahawks
6:43
Speaker 2: could be scary good overall the bump as we head
6:45
Speaker 2: into the bye. What did you learn most about this
6:47
Speaker 2: team on Monday Night?
6:48
Speaker 3: I think not just Monday night, the last couple of weeks.
6:51
Speaker 3: So they're deep.
6:52
Speaker 4: You're getting quality rats from guys like Tyle Katta, you
6:55
Speaker 4: got job out there, Drake Thomas, and you haven't seen
6:59
Speaker 4: this defense all all together. Yeah, also learned that they're
7:01
Speaker 4: the best when it comes to play atch and pass,
7:04
Speaker 4: and it's crazy because the run game is still ain't
7:06
Speaker 4: hitting the way that you want to hit, but it
7:07
Speaker 4: influences the defense and we learn that they can be resident.
7:11
Speaker 4: That game was not clean on Monday, but it was
7:13
Speaker 4: clean enough to get the W and you celebrated every
7:16
Speaker 4: W the same.
7:17
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, I think for me, yeah, goes off
7:20
Speaker 2: that depth. This defense can be elite, like illegally, this
7:23
Speaker 2: can be a top five defense. We said that on
7:25
Speaker 2: this podcast coming in the year. We think that's where
7:26
Speaker 2: they were heading towards the way this defensive line is playing.
7:29
Speaker 2: Like I said, when you get healthy in that secondary,
7:31
Speaker 2: this team can be scary good. And the good thing
7:33
Speaker 2: about that depth is if there ever is injury stuff,
7:36
Speaker 2: tyer Cott is not going to start for the first time.
7:37
Speaker 2: He has all those starts under his belt. Tyre Snight's
7:39
Speaker 2: guy who's played Drake. So there's all these different guys
7:42
Speaker 2: getting reps and playing meaningful snaps this season. So love
7:45
Speaker 2: what we're seeing from these guys. But going back into
7:47
Speaker 2: who made plays, there were a lot of plays made
7:50
Speaker 2: on Monday night playmakers.
7:56
Speaker 1: Playmakers told them what time it is?
8:00
Speaker 5: Oh wait?
8:02
Speaker 2: Starting off with Sam Darnld. You know the numbers wise,
8:04
Speaker 2: he's had some ridiculous games of late, so these aren't
8:07
Speaker 2: going to jump off the page. Seventeen or thirty one
8:09
Speaker 2: two or thirteen, one touchdown, one interception. He want to
8:13
Speaker 2: have a couple plays back. I think we can all
8:15
Speaker 2: say that. But he played well. He stood tough in
8:17
Speaker 2: the pocket. You got guys like Will Anderson Shair, you
8:20
Speaker 2: got guys in the secondary. I thought Darnld did what
8:23
Speaker 2: he needed to do to help this team win. Made
8:25
Speaker 2: some big throws and I still love the way he's playing.
8:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know when he when you set the bar
8:31
Speaker 3: so high, he does it himself.
8:33
Speaker 4: When he has a game like this, it's easy for
8:35
Speaker 4: you to look at the numbers and wonder what happened
8:37
Speaker 4: when you watched the game. He made some throws, man,
8:39
Speaker 4: and it was a battle. It happens that way. Jason
8:41
Speaker 4: had himself another good day. Eight receptions, one twenty three,
8:44
Speaker 4: one touchdown. He became the second player in franchise history
8:47
Speaker 4: to record three straight one hundred yard games, and his
8:50
Speaker 4: five one hundred yard games this season are tired for
8:52
Speaker 4: the second most in franchise history, which is crazy. He's
8:55
Speaker 4: got a lot more to do now. Before this year,
8:57
Speaker 4: he only had three one hundred yard games. Jason has
9:00
Speaker 4: at least a twenty six yard reception in every game
9:03
Speaker 4: this season. He has eight hundred nineteen yards this season,
9:05
Speaker 4: best md NFL in per ESPN research, It's the most
9:09
Speaker 4: over a seven game span in Seahawk history. Steve Largen
9:12
Speaker 4: had seventy seven and nineteen eighty four and eighty five season.
9:15
Speaker 4: That puts him on pace for nineteen hundred eighty nine
9:18
Speaker 4: yards eleven yard shy of the first two thousand yard
9:22
Speaker 4: season from a wide out in the NFL. Who has
9:25
Speaker 4: the record for most yards in the Seasonvin Johns, Calvin Johnson, Right, Calvin,
9:28
Speaker 4: and then and then it's Cooper Yeah.
9:30
Speaker 2: To it's like nineteen something. It was close.
9:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.
9:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing things, man, he's and he's making it
9:35
Speaker 4: look easy. And he started off kind of slow too,
9:38
Speaker 4: and we're used to forty something yard receptions.
9:41
Speaker 2: This week he got a right twenty six.
9:43
Speaker 5: Yeah.
9:44
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you're on the list, you're talking about
9:46
Speaker 2: Calvin Johnson and even one of your teammates, Cooper Cup
9:48
Speaker 2: when you were in the Triple Crown, I mean that
9:50
Speaker 2: is outrageous. That's to continue at this pace all year
9:54
Speaker 2: is gonna be hard, obviously, but I don't put anything
9:57
Speaker 2: past this man because what we're seeing week in and
9:59
Speaker 2: week out. Talk about the running backs, Ken Walker, Zach
10:01
Speaker 2: Scharba Day, ken Walker seventeen carries sixty six yards along
10:05
Speaker 2: of sixteen and then Zach SHARBONNEK twelve carries forty nine
10:07
Speaker 2: yards two touchdowns. Again, the run game isn't statistically where
10:13
Speaker 2: the Seahawks want to be. I know they want to
10:14
Speaker 2: correct a lot of things, but we're seeing the glimpses
10:17
Speaker 2: of it. It's just about putting it all together.
10:19
Speaker 3: You know what I saw today?
10:21
Speaker 4: K nine is tied for the most explosive runs in
10:25
Speaker 4: the NFL, and they don't feel like you would never
10:27
Speaker 4: think that, never think that, No tie for first. It's
10:29
Speaker 4: like five running backs with five explosive runs. But yeah,
10:32
Speaker 4: so there's an indicator too. It might not be all
10:35
Speaker 4: at one time, but yeah, he's moving that thing. Ernest
10:37
Speaker 4: Jones had eleven tackles, let the team one TfL, one
10:40
Speaker 4: pass defended, one interception.
10:41
Speaker 3: He's got three on the year. Now. The guy's leading
10:44
Speaker 3: the NFL and interceptions.
10:46
Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd woul number four linebacker and then Ernest is
10:49
Speaker 4: like tie for like fourth or fifth or something with
10:51
Speaker 4: three interceptions.
10:52
Speaker 3: He just finds himself in the right spot.
10:54
Speaker 2: No, I mean he's been a leader since day one.
10:56
Speaker 2: He showed up here. Love what Ernest is doing again,
10:58
Speaker 2: solidifying the middle of that defense and where we were
11:02
Speaker 2: hurt for a lot of years. You know what I'm saying.
11:03
Speaker 2: So love what Ernest is doing there. And the Tylecott
11:05
Speaker 2: I got a shot him. Shout him out because he
11:09
Speaker 2: when we interviewed him on The Hawk's Live, it is unreal.
11:11
Speaker 2: This man never played defense until he got to college.
11:15
Speaker 2: Was a walk on at Montana's State, was a quarterback.
11:19
Speaker 2: He said that on his film that they sent to
11:21
Speaker 2: Montana State, one of the plays they included was an
11:24
Speaker 2: interception of his because he ran down and knocked the
11:27
Speaker 2: dude out. Love it. We're seeing from ty nine tackles,
11:29
Speaker 2: six solo, one sack, one TfL, one PASSI event, and
11:32
Speaker 2: one QB hit. And you talk about just a journey
11:34
Speaker 2: as someone who's been through a road to be starting
11:36
Speaker 2: games in the National Football League. Love Love, love or
11:39
Speaker 2: seen out of Tylecott at Montana State.
11:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, and d law DeMarcus Lawrence once again two tackles,
11:44
Speaker 4: one sack, one quarterback hit in two TFLs. We did
11:48
Speaker 4: a whole segment on him in the pregame, show him
11:51
Speaker 4: the defensive line, but we highlighted DeMarcus Lawrence and him
11:54
Speaker 4: being healthy has done wonders for this defensive line. This
11:57
Speaker 4: group what third in the league. I believe in sex
11:59
Speaker 4: which twenty three and he's a big, big reason for that. Oh,
12:03
Speaker 4: no question about de law is doing some things.
12:06
Speaker 2: Ben Drake Thomas another guy that another name that you
12:08
Speaker 2: wouldn't have thought that we'd be talking about at this
12:09
Speaker 2: point in the year, but he's balling out out of
12:11
Speaker 2: North Carolina State. He had five tackles, five solo, two TFLs,
12:15
Speaker 2: three passes defended. Would you love to see that one
12:17
Speaker 2: QB hit. He's playing real well. You know, he's kind
12:20
Speaker 2: of emerged above Tyree Knight, but they're both in their
12:23
Speaker 2: competing week to week. Every time we talk about it
12:26
Speaker 2: and then bump defense as a whole man. I mean
12:28
Speaker 2: three sacks, seven QB hits, ten TFLs, twelve passes defended,
12:33
Speaker 2: one interception. This defense is balling out again, Like I said,
12:36
Speaker 2: vacant be elite, and they are showing you that right now.
12:38
Speaker 4: All three of their sacks were on third downs too,
12:41
Speaker 4: so you're forcing them to put it on the foot.
12:43
Speaker 4: So I love seeing that. All right, let's get to
12:45
Speaker 4: this wide receiver round up. Already talked about JSN eight
12:49
Speaker 4: for one to twenty three, Elijah Rael four for forty two, Yeah,
12:52
Speaker 4: Cooper Cup one for thirty two. You got aj Barnet
12:55
Speaker 4: one for seven, Charbonne had two for six, Bubble had
12:58
Speaker 4: one for three. Horden no targets, I actually not. I
13:01
Speaker 4: had three targets, s R three targets, no receptions. So
13:04
Speaker 4: decent day from this group. Like I said, Sam has
13:07
Speaker 4: set the bar so high. When I look at these,
13:09
Speaker 4: it feels a little off these numbers because they have
13:11
Speaker 4: set the bar higher as well.
13:12
Speaker 2: But you you got that w yeah, and sometimes you
13:15
Speaker 2: look at it and say, hey, I'd love to see
13:16
Speaker 2: other people get more targets. You have the best receiver
13:19
Speaker 2: in the National Football League a game. If I see
13:21
Speaker 2: a stat line and Jason doesn't have at least twelve targets,
13:24
Speaker 2: we're doing something wrong. Well. That flips us over to
13:27
Speaker 2: the plays of the game again. Jasn is a staple
13:30
Speaker 2: in this segment because of what he does on the
13:31
Speaker 2: field each and every week as we break down some
13:33
Speaker 2: of the biggest plays in the game. We're gonna start
13:35
Speaker 2: with Sam Darnold finding Jackson Smith and Jigbu for eight
13:38
Speaker 2: eleven yard touchdown first.
13:40
Speaker 5: And ten inside the fifteen looks, throws fire to the
13:43
Speaker 5: end zone. Ball is Cook, touch up, Seyhawks, I'm dunking
13:49
Speaker 5: it over the bar is Jackson Smith and Jigbu and
13:53
Speaker 5: flags go down because you can't do that as you've
13:57
Speaker 5: grabbed the bar and that can make the whole goalpost
14:01
Speaker 5: wiggle and get out of alignment.
14:03
Speaker 3: But the touchdown stands.
14:06
Speaker 5: The fourth touchdown of the year for JSN from eleven
14:09
Speaker 5: yards out.
14:11
Speaker 4: All right, here's what we got. We got I believe
14:13
Speaker 4: that's aj Barner. He starts on the left side of
14:15
Speaker 4: the formation. He motions to the right side. You see
14:17
Speaker 4: that linebacker go with them. Linebacker or safety go with him.
14:20
Speaker 4: So that tells you that is man. You got K
14:22
Speaker 4: nine who motions out a little bit and you see
14:24
Speaker 4: that adjustment. But it really happens down here on the bottom.
14:26
Speaker 4: You got Cooper Cup. You have JSN outside of him.
14:29
Speaker 4: How they're playing Cooper Cup right now? It's a bracket, right,
14:32
Speaker 4: You got that dB, who's going to pass Cooper Cup
14:35
Speaker 4: off to his safety?
14:37
Speaker 3: Right, it's just their rules.
14:38
Speaker 4: It looks like when it comes to this deep cross,
14:40
Speaker 4: what that does is it creates some space for Jason
14:42
Speaker 4: to work on the outside because number five is so
14:45
Speaker 4: focused on Cooper Cup. Then pass them off to a safety.
14:48
Speaker 4: He creates a window for Jason to work him now
14:51
Speaker 4: just gets a jasm. This is one of the more
14:53
Speaker 4: violent routes I've seen him running. I think week by week, man,
14:56
Speaker 4: I'm watching him grow in his route running. So he's
14:59
Speaker 4: just running a simple bang route. Right, you get to
15:01
Speaker 4: your right foot, boom, stick it outside. You've widened the
15:04
Speaker 4: dB to create even more space from that dB that's
15:07
Speaker 4: running across with Cooper Cup. Stick your foot in the
15:10
Speaker 4: ground and listen. Good route, better throw. Sam Donald stands
15:14
Speaker 4: in there and throws a dart to JSN. Jason makes
15:17
Speaker 4: a catch and he dunks that thing. So now if
15:19
Speaker 4: we focus on this offensive line, all right, you under center,
15:22
Speaker 4: you get back to your seven step drop, and one
15:25
Speaker 4: of your lineman gets beat. He gets beat, but you
15:27
Speaker 4: stand in there, you stand tall, You get hitting your
15:29
Speaker 4: chest and talking about Sam Darnald and still has enough
15:32
Speaker 4: power to drive that ball through two defenders.
15:37
Speaker 3: Sam Donald's showing just his arm talent.
15:39
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Paul Moore has been on this kick
15:41
Speaker 2: this whole year that he might be the most talented,
15:43
Speaker 2: not necessarily the best already, but the most talented quarterback
15:46
Speaker 2: in Seahawks history. He mean, he's putting on his play
15:48
Speaker 2: week after week and bump you nail most of it.
15:50
Speaker 2: But like, first of all, jas n who's mashup on
15:53
Speaker 2: him in the secondary? I believe that's mister Stingley, is it?
15:57
Speaker 2: That isn't all pro player right there? So that just
15:59
Speaker 2: shows you again and the level of Jackson Smith and
16:02
Speaker 2: Jigba how he is playing football right now. Again, the
16:04
Speaker 2: violence of the route, love that you mentioned. Pressure up
16:07
Speaker 2: the middle, Darnold just a subtle holds a safety just enough,
16:11
Speaker 2: subtly looking at Cooper Cup across the middle of Boom
16:13
Speaker 2: fires a dart touchdown Seahawks. That connection is so wild.
16:17
Speaker 2: Considering this is the first year they're playing together, you'd
16:19
Speaker 2: have think they played together for a decade. So week
16:22
Speaker 2: after week they continue to make plays and then we're
16:25
Speaker 2: gonna show some love to the defense. Ernest Jones picking
16:28
Speaker 2: off C. J. Stroud.
16:29
Speaker 5: Stroud steps up in the pocket, throws over the middle.
16:31
Speaker 5: It's intercepted, falling down on the ground, getting up. It's
16:35
Speaker 5: Jones comes near signed forty thirty five thirty has a
16:38
Speaker 5: convoy knocked.
16:39
Speaker 3: Out of bounds near sidelines.
16:41
Speaker 1: Holy catfish won an interception.
16:45
Speaker 4: All right, this one, this is uh, this is rolling
16:47
Speaker 4: the dice right here, this is rolling the dice right
16:51
Speaker 4: You got Texas they come out, and you got CJ
16:53
Speaker 4: shroud under center. But y'all want you to look at
16:55
Speaker 4: the corners. Corner at the top of leeve, that's job.
16:57
Speaker 4: Corner at the bottom is William. You got a corner blitz.
17:00
Speaker 4: So what that does is stresses out the linebackers. Your
17:03
Speaker 4: outside backers now have hooked the curl curl flat. They
17:05
Speaker 4: got all of that over there. They got a lot
17:07
Speaker 4: of space to cover. And then you have Ernest Jones
17:09
Speaker 4: playing center field. They're hoping that they get pressure on
17:11
Speaker 4: this quarterback and he makes a mistake. You still got
17:13
Speaker 4: two ice safeties over the top, lots of space for
17:17
Speaker 4: route combinations to work. Well, why doesn't it work? Because
17:20
Speaker 4: you are able to get pressure off the edges. One
17:22
Speaker 4: corner occupies the running back, the other corner comes free
17:25
Speaker 4: get your hands on Stroud.
17:27
Speaker 3: Stroud looking towards the middle.
17:28
Speaker 4: Kind of got lucky here because Ernest Jones does slip
17:31
Speaker 4: a little bit, but the pressure has that off throw
17:33
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones being where you're supposed to be a kids.
17:36
Speaker 4: Sometimes you just get to your spot and good things
17:38
Speaker 4: will happen. That's what I saw here.
17:40
Speaker 2: No, this is great. I mean, the Seahawks don't blitz often,
17:42
Speaker 2: so I love that when you make a call like
17:44
Speaker 2: this that it pays off again corner blitz. That you're
17:46
Speaker 2: putting a lot of stress in the linebackers as well
17:48
Speaker 2: as the two ice safeties, because that's a lot to cover.
17:50
Speaker 2: The way it broke out though, you essentially had five
17:52
Speaker 2: cover and three with the three underneath, two over the top.
17:54
Speaker 2: And then again Ernest Jones does a great job getting
17:57
Speaker 2: depth opening his lips again he slips, which we don't
18:00
Speaker 2: love there, but still to make that play to still
18:02
Speaker 2: intercept that ball is great. I love that Josh job
18:05
Speaker 2: you mentioned it sending the pressure there and then at
18:08
Speaker 2: the end of this play. It's unfortunate what happened with
18:10
Speaker 2: Chennon and Wilson here, but back in the day that
18:13
Speaker 2: was just called the football.
18:14
Speaker 3: It was just it was just a play that.
18:15
Speaker 2: Was just a normal run of the mill, you know,
18:17
Speaker 2: and there's a turnover or on punt ye when you're
18:20
Speaker 2: chasing someone down and you need to keep your head
18:22
Speaker 2: on a swivel because someone's looping back. Typically, that just
18:24
Speaker 2: is what it is. It was unfortunate for that, but
18:27
Speaker 2: I love what we're seeing from Ernest Jones in his
18:29
Speaker 2: defense and Bump like it, just making plays play after play.
18:32
Speaker 4: And honestly, it could have been a lot more violent
18:33
Speaker 4: than that. He took it easy on him.
18:35
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. Maybe it would have been better
18:37
Speaker 2: if you put the hands up or if he just
18:39
Speaker 2: like went there and shielded him and stopped. I don't
18:41
Speaker 2: know what you do there, but again, it is what
18:43
Speaker 2: it is. This team is playing at a high level,
18:46
Speaker 2: setting us up for our favorite formation every week, the
18:48
Speaker 2: victory formation.
18:51
Speaker 5: Here comes the Seahawk offense onto the field and the
18:53
Speaker 5: Vikings defense trudging out there knowing that one meal down
18:59
Speaker 5: and the Seahawks are gonna line the clock.
19:01
Speaker 2: Down and win this one.
19:03
Speaker 1: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk.
19:06
Speaker 2: Seahawks take care of business at Luminfield as it should be.
19:09
Speaker 2: That's what's right in the world. Taking care of business.
19:11
Speaker 2: Winning at home. It's a tough place to play. And
19:12
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier the Twelves were rocket like we were
19:15
Speaker 2: down on the field. Bomb had a little feature going
19:17
Speaker 2: on there and it was loud. It was absolutely loud.
19:20
Speaker 2: The Twelves were bringing it and the Seahawks defense thrived
19:22
Speaker 2: off of that and they showed what they're going on
19:24
Speaker 2: and it was, like I said, much needed result. The
19:26
Speaker 2: Marins had a tough loss in Toronto during that game
19:28
Speaker 2: and the fans needed some good news, and of course
19:31
Speaker 2: our Seahawks are here to bring it to everybody, and
19:33
Speaker 2: it was good to see.
19:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did turn the ball over four times two
19:36
Speaker 4: fourteen on third down, but you know what, you got
19:38
Speaker 4: it done. Jayson keeps showing the NFL I might be
19:42
Speaker 4: the best of the game right now. This level of
19:43
Speaker 4: production is crazy. But at the end of the day,
19:45
Speaker 4: it was about the defense. They shut it down. They
19:48
Speaker 4: had three secs, seven QB hits, ten TFLs, twelve passive
19:51
Speaker 4: defended twelve. I have to double check that when Lawyer
19:53
Speaker 4: said it, I'm like twelve passive defended, goodness, and one
19:56
Speaker 4: interception held the Texas to fifty six yards rushing on
19:59
Speaker 4: twenty five carries some good stuff.
20:01
Speaker 3: Twenty five of those came on a scramble by C. J. Strout.
20:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, just dominant again, elite level defense. You hear
20:07
Speaker 2: me continue to say that, because that's the defense you
20:10
Speaker 2: don't want to play, lining up snap after snap, just
20:12
Speaker 2: grinding them down. And uh man, Like I said, this
20:15
Speaker 2: team can be fully healthy coming out of the bye week,
20:17
Speaker 2: go and they can put the rest of the NFL
20:19
Speaker 2: on notice because there's not a game on the schedule
20:21
Speaker 2: where you look at it and go, I don't know
20:22
Speaker 2: if they Yeah, there's gonna be great. Teams are gonna
20:24
Speaker 2: play and the Saws are gonna have to play well,
20:26
Speaker 2: but they're in a position that they can really stack
20:28
Speaker 2: wins and get this thing done. And I'm bump. I'm
20:30
Speaker 2: excited because I think I think we're gonna be talking
20:33
Speaker 2: about some playoff games steep in January. Yes, sir, but again,
20:38
Speaker 2: that's a way in the future. We're gonna keep it
20:41
Speaker 2: going week to week. The bye week. There's no game
20:43
Speaker 2: coming up this week, so we'll be back with you
20:44
Speaker 2: next week. Previewing a primetime game on Sunday Night Football
20:48
Speaker 2: against the Washington Commanders. Again, the Seahawks get it done
20:51
Speaker 2: on Monday Night football against Houston Texans. He's Michael Bumps
20:54
Speaker 2: on NASA. Choby. This has been hopked off.
