0:37
Speaker 3: be back. But if we can get one of those

1:00
Speaker 1: Yeah you would, Jared Reed. You're welcome on the show anytime,
1:03
Speaker 1: any time. Just throwing that out there.
1:04
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into these Houston Texans. Let's on tap.
1:08
Speaker 2: What's on tap? Two and three? Third place in the
1:11
Speaker 2: AFC South.
1:12
Speaker 1: Losses to the Rams, the Bucks, the Jags in the
1:15
Speaker 1: wins the last two weeks over the Titans and a
1:17
Speaker 1: beat down over the Ravens.
1:19
Speaker 2: Big go off to a rough star bump.
1:20
Speaker 1: Obviously, they're owing three lost all games though by one score,
1:23
Speaker 1: so they were all close. Coming into the season under
1:25
Speaker 1: Demico Ryans, they were actually really good one score games.
1:27
Speaker 1: They're fourtune and eight. Didn't have a good start to
1:29
Speaker 1: this season, but they're led by this defense. We're gonna
1:32
Speaker 1: get into all those guys a little bit later, but CJ. Stroud,
1:35
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, they got a lot of dogs on there.
1:37
Speaker 1: But the last two games, this offense has been on point. Bump,
1:40
Speaker 1: They've outscored their opponents seventy to ten. Now you can say, well,
1:43
Speaker 1: the combined record of those two teams is two and ten.
1:46
Speaker 1: Ravens completely depleted. But either way, Bump, they're playing good football.
1:49
Speaker 3: Yeah they are, and the film show CJ is in
1:52
Speaker 3: a good place right now. These responsible with the football
1:55
Speaker 3: complete and seventy percent of his passes. If you don't
1:57
Speaker 3: put pressure on him, there could be some problem. So
2:01
Speaker 3: it should be a good challenge. Not sleeping on the
2:03
Speaker 3: Texans at all.
2:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, what did you see from the Ravens in
2:06
Speaker 2: that Texans game?
2:07
Speaker 3: All right, Texas Ravens against the Ravens, the offense finally
2:10
Speaker 3: showed up in a big way. They scored on all
2:12
Speaker 3: eight offensive possession, coasting to a forty four to ten. Man,
2:15
Speaker 3: did you imagine being offensive coordinator and every time your
2:18
Speaker 3: offense against the ball you're ending with seven.
2:20
Speaker 2: That's a good feeling.
2:21
Speaker 1: You're you're walking into the meetings on Monday before the
2:24
Speaker 1: bye week too.
2:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, coach, I'll see you next week. We're good.
2:29
Speaker 2: We're done here.
2:31
Speaker 3: Thirty four point win was the most lopsided role winning
2:34
Speaker 3: Texans history and the most lopside of home loss in
2:36
Speaker 3: Ravens history. The Ravens were depleted as you can get it,
2:39
Speaker 3: playing without Lamar Jackson, Kyle Hamilton, Raycon Smith, Marlin Humphrey,
2:43
Speaker 3: Patrick Richard and using Patrick McCard and tackle Ronnie Stanley.
2:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, depleted.
2:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't have their guys obviously again, but the
2:51
Speaker 1: Texans are still playing good football. I mean, you look
2:53
Speaker 1: at any time you I'll score somebody for seventeen and
2:55
Speaker 1: two oh seven. When the starters in the National Football
2:58
Speaker 1: League leave the game in a regular season game, you
3:00
Speaker 1: know they got busy.
3:02
Speaker 3: They alt Gay the Ravens four seventeen to two o seven.
3:06
Speaker 3: The starters wire pulled. Like you mentioned, Nick Chubb had
3:08
Speaker 3: sixty one yards and eleven carries a one touchdown. Straus
3:11
Speaker 3: spread the ball around to eight different people with a reception.
3:14
Speaker 2: D Henry was held to thirty three yards on fifteen carries.
3:17
Speaker 2: You know what's sad, This.
3:18
Speaker 3: Might be like the final decline of d Henry. Hell yeah,
3:22
Speaker 3: bumbling numbers ain't good. That's that's tough to watch, but
3:26
Speaker 3: still great. Cooper Rush was fourteen to twenty one seventy nine,
3:28
Speaker 3: zero touchdowns, three interceptions. Baltimore had three turnovers and the
3:32
Speaker 3: Texans had zero. It was a beat down from the beginning.
3:35
Speaker 3: I'm hard to judge if it was more about the
3:37
Speaker 3: Texans or the Ravens that are all beat up.
3:39
Speaker 2: Will find out what is real come Monday nights.
3:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you look at the numbers for the Texans
3:44
Speaker 1: team as we jump into the headhead matchup, I'll just
3:46
Speaker 1: jump right into where they're great as defensively smokes. Their
3:49
Speaker 1: total defense their fourth gaveraging or allowing just two hundred
3:53
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards a game. They are seventh in
3:54
Speaker 1: rush defense, allowing just ninety yards per game. They are
3:57
Speaker 1: fifth in pass defense, lining just one hundred and sevy
3:59
Speaker 1: five yards per game. And they are number one in
4:01
Speaker 1: scoring defense, allowing just twelve points per game. Now, yes,
4:05
Speaker 1: it's inflated a little bit. The last two weeks they
4:06
Speaker 1: shut out a bad Titans team and the Ravens didn't
4:09
Speaker 1: have Lamar in the company. But either way, twelve points
4:11
Speaker 1: because they also played well against the Rams and the Buccaneers.
4:14
Speaker 1: Buccaneers scored a lot of points here a couple of
4:15
Speaker 1: weeks ago. They held them to nineteen. So yeah, they're
4:18
Speaker 1: doing a lot of good things defensively.
4:20
Speaker 2: Film don't lie neither.
4:21
Speaker 3: You turn on the film and you watch their defense
4:23
Speaker 3: fly around and make plays this all the lines. Offensively,
4:27
Speaker 3: they're twentieth overall, sixteenth when it comes to running the rock,
4:30
Speaker 3: nineteenth throwing that thing, and twenty second when it comes
4:32
Speaker 3: to points per game twenty one point six. They do
4:35
Speaker 3: have five interceptions in their turnover differential is plus one.
4:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when you look at offensively, they look
4:41
Speaker 1: average in terms of if you're just looking at the numbers.
4:44
Speaker 1: Obviously we're going to get into the dogs that they
4:45
Speaker 1: have offensively, So third good team will be interesting to see
4:48
Speaker 1: how this match just kind of shakes up quickly. Looking
4:50
Speaker 1: at the Seahawks, though the Seahawks are tenth total offense
4:53
Speaker 1: three hundred fifty six yards a game, twenty fourth running
4:56
Speaker 1: the thing, still struggling there a little bit, fourth and
4:58
Speaker 1: pass offense, and fifth in points for game. Sam Darnold
5:01
Speaker 1: and company are throwing that thing. So this offense has
5:02
Speaker 1: really taken off.
5:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is taking off a defensively, thirteenth overall. Second
5:07
Speaker 3: one it comes to rush defense, that's so beautiful. I
5:09
Speaker 3: love second against the run, averaging allowing seventy nine yards
5:13
Speaker 3: per game that's great pass defense.
5:16
Speaker 2: They're better than what this number says. The Bucks game,
5:18
Speaker 2: that's what it is.
5:19
Speaker 3: The bus games jacket have been twenty fourth overall and
5:21
Speaker 3: giving up two hundred and thirty five points. They see
5:23
Speaker 3: me yards per game and then points per game six
5:26
Speaker 3: averaging nineteen point five ops.
5:28
Speaker 1: That's more indicative where they're at as a football team.
5:30
Speaker 1: I think grabbing up nineteen points per game, you have
5:32
Speaker 1: one one bad game, Baker through for all those yards.
5:35
Speaker 1: It's gonna skew a lot of these numbers. But yeah,
5:37
Speaker 1: I'm excited for this matchup. Bump like, this is a
5:38
Speaker 1: huge one for the Seahawks. If you can get to
5:40
Speaker 1: a five and two heading into bye week, hopefully getting
5:42
Speaker 1: all the players back, things could really really get interesting
5:45
Speaker 1: here in Seattle.
5:47
Speaker 2: But Seahawks Texans, they haven't played a ton over the years,
5:50
Speaker 2: so let's know the history, No, your history.
5:53
Speaker 1: Seahawks lead the all time series four to one, so
5:55
Speaker 1: they've only played five games. Obviously, if you remember, the
5:57
Speaker 1: Texans don't have a long history. They launched in two
6:00
Speaker 1: and two. Last matchup, the Seahawks took it to the
6:03
Speaker 1: Texans thirty three to thirteen in Energy Stadium in twenty
6:05
Speaker 1: twenty one, which feels like a century ago. I remember
6:08
Speaker 1: Bump the twelves took over that building. Tyler Locker. Shot
6:11
Speaker 1: Penny had a great game. That was in that stretch
6:13
Speaker 1: where shot Penny was like one of the best backs
6:15
Speaker 1: on nuts that one hundred and thirty seven yards, sixteen carries,
6:18
Speaker 1: two long touchdowns, runs of thirty two and forty seven.
6:21
Speaker 1: Russell had a good day seventeen twenty eight, two sixty
6:23
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no interceptions. Davis Mills was a quarterback for
6:26
Speaker 1: the Texans that day. Who's still on the roster, by
6:28
Speaker 1: the way, He's the backup to TJ.
6:29
Speaker 2: Stroud.
6:30
Speaker 1: He threw from some yards three hundred and thirty one
6:32
Speaker 1: yards but only had one touchdown. The show for it
6:34
Speaker 1: that year kind of thos in the stretch where Russell
6:36
Speaker 1: broke his fingers, kind of geting healthy again.
6:37
Speaker 2: Things weren't doing that great.
6:39
Speaker 1: But hoping the Seahawks can repeat some of that against
6:41
Speaker 1: these Texans, extending that winning streak. But we'll flip things
6:44
Speaker 1: back to what's going around in our division.
6:46
Speaker 2: What's the word? And the Seahawks all the NFC West
6:53
Speaker 2: champs again.
6:54
Speaker 3: What's the word in the west On Hawk talk NNC
6:59
Speaker 3: West still looking good. Yeah, Niners four and two, Hawks
7:02
Speaker 3: four and two, Rams four and two, and the Cardinals
7:03
Speaker 3: at two and four. There's a three way tie for
7:05
Speaker 3: that number one spot, like I mentioned with the Rams,
7:08
Speaker 3: the Hawks in the forty nine Ers all four and two.
7:09
Speaker 3: If the playoffs were to start today, the Niners will
7:11
Speaker 3: win the division with the head to head wins over
7:13
Speaker 3: Seattle in LA.
7:15
Speaker 2: This division's up for grabs.
7:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean you look at that and the
7:18
Speaker 1: Niners they're the walking wounded. Obviously we know Fred Warner.
7:21
Speaker 1: Everything's going down. No Nick Bosa, but they keep finding
7:24
Speaker 1: ways to be competitive in being games, which a great
7:26
Speaker 1: segue to this bump Baker Mayfield. He's dominating many they're
7:30
Speaker 1: chanting MVP. Did you see that clipes for those who
7:34
Speaker 1: didn't see Test Johnson. He scores a touchdown, he his backflip,
7:36
Speaker 1: he's doing his thing, and he's hear people chanting MVP
7:39
Speaker 1: and it's to the sideline.
7:40
Speaker 2: He's like, man, they're really changing MVP.
7:41
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, for Bakers, come on, the guy who
7:44
Speaker 3: threw you the ball?
7:46
Speaker 2: That was funny, Hey he was He laughed at himself though.
7:49
Speaker 2: That was cool.
7:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, Baker's ball, and he finished the day seventeen to
7:52
Speaker 3: twenty three, two fifty six and two touchdowns. But once
7:55
Speaker 3: again there they're backs against the wall. The forty nine
7:57
Speaker 3: ers kept them in the game. They were close. It
7:59
Speaker 3: was seeing for a Warner go out like that. I
8:01
Speaker 3: know he's the ops, but as a good dude, great linebacker,
8:05
Speaker 3: one of.
8:05
Speaker 2: The biggest players. Happened.
8:06
Speaker 3: One of the biggest plays of the game happened with
8:07
Speaker 3: four to twenty one left in the third quarter of
8:09
Speaker 3: the Bucks were up twenty to nineteen. With the ball
8:12
Speaker 3: facing a third and fourteen, Baker Mayfield went on a
8:15
Speaker 3: crazy scramble and did enough to make of the first down.
8:19
Speaker 2: He was in his legs. Oh and he flexed on him.
8:21
Speaker 1: And whether you like Baker or not, he's a dude
8:23
Speaker 1: that I would play for because he just his energy
8:25
Speaker 1: on the field is contagious. Then one player out of
8:27
Speaker 1: Boom Ted Johnson forty five yard touchdown, extending lead twenty
8:30
Speaker 1: seven to nineteen. Mac Jones gets intercepted and play later
8:33
Speaker 1: and that kind of was all she wrote. In that game,
8:35
Speaker 1: White had sixty five yards and fourteen carries in a touchdown.
8:38
Speaker 1: Mac Jones twenty seven to thirty nine three forty seven
8:41
Speaker 1: and two interceptions.
8:42
Speaker 2: He's also sacked six times.
8:43
Speaker 1: Ben Christian McAffrey had ano Christian McAffrey game one hundred
8:46
Speaker 1: and eleven towty yards, one touchdown. But Bump, what's concerning
8:48
Speaker 1: to me is how much he is carrying the football
8:50
Speaker 1: receiver ball. He's leading the league and touches per game,
8:53
Speaker 1: and just with the way they're you know, fighting through injuries,
8:56
Speaker 1: you just think like, is he taking time on Also, yeah,
8:59
Speaker 1: it's it's in.
9:00
Speaker 2: You need to see where the Niners are. But again,
9:01
Speaker 2: never count them out because they continue to fight.
9:03
Speaker 3: Like I mentioned, Fred Warner went down, looks like he's
9:06
Speaker 3: done for the year, broken and dislocated ankle, and the
9:10
Speaker 3: injuries just don't stop for the Niners. Man, but the
9:12
Speaker 3: forty nine ers welcome in the Atlanta Falcons for Sunday
9:14
Speaker 3: Night football.
9:15
Speaker 2: Falcons fresh off a big.
9:16
Speaker 3: Win over the Bills, which y'all looks what it had
9:19
Speaker 3: like one hundred and seventy on the ground.
9:20
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous. Go Falcons.
9:22
Speaker 1: We'll get that down. Michael Pennix doing his thing. And
9:25
Speaker 1: then also elsewhere in the division, the Rams and the Ravens.
9:28
Speaker 1: Another another week another rough game for the Ravens. Right
9:31
Speaker 1: Ravens kicked the field goal in their first possession and
9:33
Speaker 1: did not score the rest of the game. Cooper Rush
9:35
Speaker 1: struggled and then they had to bring in only after him.
9:39
Speaker 1: Halftime was three to three, but the Rams took control
9:41
Speaker 1: of the game after a nine play seventy six yard drive,
9:43
Speaker 1: the end with three year touchdown to kyn Williams. Two
9:45
Speaker 1: plays later as a Flowers fumbles, the Rams getting the
9:48
Speaker 1: end zone a couple of plays later. That made it
9:49
Speaker 1: seventeen to three and they just kind of took it
9:51
Speaker 1: from there. Ravens would fumble on their next drive and
9:53
Speaker 1: they're still missing a lot of people. They're banged up, obviously.
9:56
Speaker 1: They are nowhere near where they used to be. And
9:59
Speaker 1: for the Rams, it wasn't a great game, but again
10:01
Speaker 1: they're still victorious. Stafford seventeen to twenty six, one one touchdown.
10:06
Speaker 1: Higbe led the Rams and receiving with forty on four
10:08
Speaker 1: receptions in a touchdown. But the big news out of
10:10
Speaker 1: that game, Hohokinakua left the game in the second quarter
10:13
Speaker 1: of the foot injury. He was able to come back
10:14
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, didn't catch a pass. Lucky for
10:16
Speaker 1: the Rams. Head coach On McVay said this week that
10:19
Speaker 1: he avoided a long term injury. He's currently day to
10:21
Speaker 1: day feeling better, but we'll see something that continue to monitor.
10:23
Speaker 1: The Rams are spending this week in Baltimore, which is interesting.
10:26
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw. I think they're practicing
10:27
Speaker 1: on they were practicing like Candon Yards. I saw really
10:30
Speaker 1: a clip with the football lines over there. They're staying
10:32
Speaker 1: in Baltimore this week to stay on the East Coast.
10:34
Speaker 1: Four traveling to London to play the Jaguars, who were
10:37
Speaker 1: obviously beat up after that Seahawks game, but now it's
10:39
Speaker 1: now it's all love duvall, go.
10:41
Speaker 2: Get it done.
10:41
Speaker 3: Hey the Jags, that's like their second home, London, it
10:44
Speaker 3: really is. They've been playing there since b Walt was
10:46
Speaker 3: playing for the Jags back in the day.
10:49
Speaker 2: We got the Cardinals and the Colts.
10:51
Speaker 3: The Cardinals were without Kyler Murray, Jacob Jacoby excuse me,
10:54
Speaker 3: Jacoby Rissett stepped up in a big way against his
10:56
Speaker 3: former team, but it wasn't enough, as the Cardinals failed
10:59
Speaker 3: to the Coast three thirty one to twenty seven. It
11:01
Speaker 3: was pretty entertain It was a back and forth game,
11:03
Speaker 3: right Cardinals kicking a field goal, going up twenty four
11:06
Speaker 3: to twenty seven with nine thirty one left in the
11:07
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, but the Colts would answer with a nine play,
11:10
Speaker 3: sixty six yard drive anyone of Johnathan Taylor touchdown as
11:13
Speaker 3: the Colts took the lead thirty one to twenty seven
11:15
Speaker 3: with four to thirty two left in the game.
11:18
Speaker 2: Indiana Jones, he's real. Yeah.
11:21
Speaker 1: Every week I keep questioning it, but they keep finding
11:24
Speaker 1: ways to win. And if you're the Colts, you're thinking, wow.
11:27
Speaker 2: We just got lucky. You got lucky his head.
11:29
Speaker 1: Because Richardson, they still think he might be the guy eventually.
11:32
Speaker 2: But this wasn't supposed to happen.
11:33
Speaker 1: This thinking Dan Dimes was not gonna win the job,
11:35
Speaker 1: or he'd played poorly, and then Richard and me back
11:37
Speaker 1: out there.
11:38
Speaker 2: Who knows, but he's playing. He's boning right now.
11:39
Speaker 3: It's probably the best case scenario for Anthony Richardson. Honestly,
11:42
Speaker 3: let him sit down, let him learn and watch a pro.
11:45
Speaker 3: Do was saying, let's not forget man, he's a pro bowler, Yeah, guy,
11:48
Speaker 3: Indiana Jones. Man, but Jacoby, we said, we leave the
11:51
Speaker 3: Cardinals deep into the red zone. But he took a
11:54
Speaker 3: sack on third and seven from the nine yard line.
11:57
Speaker 3: His fourth down pass was incompleting. The Colts held it
12:00
Speaker 3: down for the win. Danny Dimes, I'm promoting him to
12:02
Speaker 3: Danny Dollars.
12:03
Speaker 2: All right.
12:04
Speaker 3: He was twenty two and thirty for two to twelve,
12:06
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, one interception. Jonathan Taylor had one twenty three
12:10
Speaker 3: on the ground with twenty one carries in the touchdown,
12:12
Speaker 3: and Jacobe Brissett was twenty seven to forty two three
12:15
Speaker 3: twenty two touchdowns, one interception. Zay Jones led all receivers
12:18
Speaker 3: with seventy nine yards on five receptions. The Cardinals have
12:20
Speaker 3: lost four in a row after starting the season two
12:23
Speaker 3: and oher.
12:24
Speaker 2: They got to play the Packers on Sunday. Yeah.
12:26
Speaker 1: I mean there's a possibility that all NFCUS teams other
12:29
Speaker 1: than the Seahawks lose this week.
12:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I would love.
12:32
Speaker 1: To see Seahawks get a dub going into the bye
12:34
Speaker 1: week in first place.
12:35
Speaker 2: That's what we want to see. Bills shift our attention
12:37
Speaker 2: back to these Houston Texans. Man up, Hey, who you got,
12:41
Speaker 2: who you got? You know what time it is? Man up,
12:43
Speaker 2: Man up, brother, man up man up on Hawk Talk,
12:48
Speaker 2: just like we do every week. We're gonna start with
12:49
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks.
12:50
Speaker 1: Ce J Stroud, now in his third season after being
12:52
Speaker 1: the number two overall pick in the twenty twenty three
12:54
Speaker 1: draft from Ohio State. We know what he did, oh,
12:56
Speaker 1: I say, put up crazy numbers, let the big ten yards, touchdowns,
12:59
Speaker 1: had great seasons, got to the College Football Playoff, and
13:02
Speaker 1: he's helped really turn around this Texas program. Obviously, in
13:05
Speaker 1: addition with Demico Ryans. They were ten and thirty eight
13:07
Speaker 1: the previous three seasons with him there, but now under
13:10
Speaker 1: new leadership, back to back AFC's out championships, won a
13:13
Speaker 1: playoff game in each of those years. Offensive Rookie the
13:16
Speaker 1: Year in twenty twenty three, had a great year, made
13:17
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl through four over four thousand yards, twenty
13:20
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, just five interceptions. Last year took a little
13:23
Speaker 1: bit of set back thirty eight hundred yards or around
13:25
Speaker 1: twenty touchdowns, twelve interceptions.
13:28
Speaker 2: And so I wouldn't say he fell off.
13:31
Speaker 1: Obviously, they're still playoff team, but he's kind of back
13:33
Speaker 1: to play in that type of football after a rough
13:35
Speaker 1: stretch started the year. Stroud won Offensive Player of the
13:37
Speaker 1: Week for his performance against the Ravens, where he went
13:39
Speaker 1: off two hundred and forty four yards, four touchdowns, zero
13:42
Speaker 1: picks QB rating of one forty three point nine. He's
13:44
Speaker 1: also had a career base eighty five percent completion percentage
13:48
Speaker 1: against those Ravens. By the past two weeks, He's killing
13:50
Speaker 1: the game four hundred and seventy seven yards, six touchdowns,
13:53
Speaker 1: one thirty nine passer rating. He's won of four quarterbacks
13:55
Speaker 1: in the NFL with an active streak of games, posting
13:57
Speaker 1: and passer rating of one hundred and twenty higher thousand
14:01
Speaker 1: yards on the year in one thousand, seventy six eight touchdowns,
14:03
Speaker 1: three interceptions, has been sacked just twelve times. Texans are
14:06
Speaker 1: the nineteenth best passing offense in the league. Seahawks has
14:10
Speaker 1: some room to grow there. All statistically, you can't throw
14:12
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers game out, but if you take that out,
14:14
Speaker 1: this is much better pass defense.
14:15
Speaker 2: But Bump Stroud's a good player, man.
14:17
Speaker 1: He is definitely someone, as you've been saying, is throwing
14:19
Speaker 1: dimes darts all over the field. He will definitely have
14:22
Speaker 1: you know, Seahaws rid the work cutout for him.
14:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good ball player.
14:24
Speaker 3: You got to put some pressure on It's only been
14:26
Speaker 3: sacked twelve or fourteen times.
14:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, mid when it comes to that number.
14:29
Speaker 3: So yeah, Seahawks get after Let's talk about our quarterback
14:33
Speaker 3: week after week.
14:34
Speaker 2: Donald.
14:34
Speaker 3: Let you know, look, I'm one of the best in
14:36
Speaker 3: the game right now. There's no denying what he's doing.
14:39
Speaker 3: I mean, he's coming off a great game against Jacksonville,
14:41
Speaker 3: who was sixteen or twenty seven for two ninety five,
14:43
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, zero interceptions, a QB rating of one twenty
14:47
Speaker 3: one point seven per ESPN research. Sam Darnald a sixty
14:50
Speaker 3: one yard touchdown the jssin travel forty nine yards beyond
14:54
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmers the second most are yards and
14:56
Speaker 3: the completion of his career. He's now seventeen or twenty
14:59
Speaker 3: four and passes we're on twenty plus yards down the
15:01
Speaker 3: field with two touchdowns no interceptions.
15:05
Speaker 2: That kind of sums it up for you well.
15:07
Speaker 1: And if that's not enough, bump. He is third in
15:09
Speaker 1: the NFL and passing yards one in the NFL, and
15:11
Speaker 1: pass in yards per pass temp at nine point six,
15:15
Speaker 1: one in the NFL, in yards per completion at thirteen
15:17
Speaker 1: point five third, and pass raty one sixteen seventh in
15:20
Speaker 1: the NFL. Completes per percentage one in play action pass
15:23
Speaker 1: yards in one, passing, touchdowns under seven or with seven.
15:26
Speaker 2: Darnold right now he is in MVP conversation. He is.
15:29
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna be there the whole year,
15:31
Speaker 1: but you can't deny those numbers and what he's doing
15:33
Speaker 1: for this football team.
15:34
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
15:35
Speaker 3: B Walt tried to tell me he did, and I
15:37
Speaker 3: didn't listen. I said he was knocking on the door.
15:39
Speaker 3: The door's open. He's walking in, having a seat at
15:41
Speaker 3: the table with the best in the game. On the year,
15:43
Speaker 3: fifteen hundred yards, eleven touchdowns, three interceptions.
15:46
Speaker 2: He's been sacked seven times on the season.
15:48
Speaker 3: The Texts are fourth in total defense, allowing two to
15:50
Speaker 3: sixty five per game. They're fifth against the pass, and
15:54
Speaker 3: they are first when it comes to allowing the opts
15:56
Speaker 3: to score, only given up twelve points per game.
15:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be be I mean, this is definitely
16:02
Speaker 1: a tough task, but week after week, the Seahawks keep
16:05
Speaker 1: playing good defenses and they keep finding ways to put
16:07
Speaker 1: up numbers in points.
16:08
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens there. Ben you flip it
16:10
Speaker 2: over Nick Chubb.
16:11
Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven obviously they're not they're without mixing, you
16:15
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But Chubb eighth NFL season, first
16:18
Speaker 1: year in Houston, he's had an interesting you know, interesting
16:22
Speaker 1: not the right word.
16:22
Speaker 2: It's been tough for him.
16:23
Speaker 1: Right.
16:23
Speaker 2: He started his career obviously, four Pro Bowls.
16:26
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, twenty twenty two, rush for over one thousand
16:28
Speaker 1: yards every season, with a high fifteen hundred yards and
16:31
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But then Week two of twenty three
16:34
Speaker 1: devastating knee injury, damage of meniscus, the capsule in there,
16:37
Speaker 1: the MCL, everything in there was all kinds of jacked up.
16:39
Speaker 1: He missed the rush of that year and didn't return
16:41
Speaker 1: to Week seven of last season. But he was not
16:43
Speaker 1: himself he had previously. You know, he'd also torn up
16:47
Speaker 1: that knee in college when he and when he came back,
16:49
Speaker 1: career level three point three yards per carry, rush for
16:52
Speaker 1: just three hundred and thirty two yards on one hundred
16:55
Speaker 1: and two carries and two touchdowns. But he's a thirty
16:58
Speaker 1: year old running back. Obviously, that's when running actual usually
17:00
Speaker 1: get aged out of this league. But he's doing okay
17:02
Speaker 1: so far this year. A bum in fifty eight carries,
17:04
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty nine yards two touchdowns against Tennessee.
17:07
Speaker 1: He eclipsed the seven thousand career rushing yards list, seventh
17:10
Speaker 1: active running back in the NFL to reach that milestone.
17:13
Speaker 1: But this is what the Seahawks do best, and they've
17:14
Speaker 1: proven a week after week after week. There's number two
17:16
Speaker 1: in the NFL and rush defense, and you know the
17:19
Speaker 1: Jacksonville for a great example. Etn comes in there, fourth
17:22
Speaker 1: in the league and rushing attack. He gets complete shut down.
17:25
Speaker 1: You look at through Kamar McCaffrey, all these top running
17:28
Speaker 1: backs that come in here and to get shut down.
17:30
Speaker 2: The Seahawks are playing great football and I.
17:32
Speaker 3: Expect nothing less for them this Sunday, Yes, starts with
17:34
Speaker 3: those those those big boys in the trenches.
17:37
Speaker 2: All right, Let's look at their their wide outs.
17:38
Speaker 3: He's got Nico Collins and Christian Kirk who against the
17:43
Speaker 3: Seahawks seconds there. So Nico, he's a fifth year after
17:46
Speaker 3: being third round picking the Texans, and twenty twenty one Collins.
17:49
Speaker 2: He's become a number one receiver in this league.
17:51
Speaker 3: After having foign to plus receiving yards his first two seasons,
17:53
Speaker 3: Collins he took off in twenty twenty three. That's a
17:56
Speaker 3: season he had career highs in receptions with eighty yards
17:59
Speaker 3: with twelve ninety seven the touchdowns with eight. The same
18:02
Speaker 3: year strou was drafted. Correlation, Get Joe quarterback, you might
18:06
Speaker 3: be able to ball a little bit. Since twenty twenty three,
18:08
Speaker 3: Nico Collins has averaged eighty one point seven yards per game,
18:11
Speaker 3: tie for six most in the NFL through that spam
18:13
Speaker 3: and second most in the AFC. Since twenty twenty three,
18:16
Speaker 3: Collins is tied for the most receptions of fifty plus
18:19
Speaker 3: yards with eight of them.
18:20
Speaker 2: Things. You let him get loose, let him get behind you,
18:22
Speaker 2: he will make some plays.
18:23
Speaker 3: During that same timeframe, Collins has accumulated the third most
18:27
Speaker 3: fifty plus yard touchdown receptions with four This year twenty
18:30
Speaker 3: two catches, three hundred and twelve yards, three touchdowns.
18:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a deep threat. You gotta keep in front.
18:35
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's we're talking Kobe Bryant, We're talking
18:37
Speaker 1: Tya Katta, We're talking you know, if Julian Love is
18:40
Speaker 1: back out there, he's the guy that you can't get
18:42
Speaker 1: but behind you in the secondary because he will absolutely
18:44
Speaker 1: make you pay. Now, I put Christian Kirk on your
18:46
Speaker 1: bump Statistically, he's our fifth leading receiver. They got four
18:49
Speaker 1: players on the team with a hundre between hundred nine
18:51
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six yard receiving. But like coming this year,
18:53
Speaker 1: he's the real second option. He's been in this league
18:55
Speaker 1: a long time. Been his first fourth season with the Cardinals.
18:58
Speaker 1: Then sign a huge contractor remember.
19:00
Speaker 3: The reason why receivers are getting paid today, So big upsim.
19:03
Speaker 3: I guess, yes, no, he did this thing, and whether
19:05
Speaker 3: he lived up to that or not is a different conversation.
19:07
Speaker 2: But that first year.
19:08
Speaker 1: He did have his best season in the NFL in
19:10
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two with the Jags, his only one thousand
19:12
Speaker 1: yard season of his career.
19:13
Speaker 2: He also had eight touchdowns.
19:14
Speaker 1: His production dipped a little bit in twenty three and
19:17
Speaker 1: then had a season ended after eight games when he
19:18
Speaker 1: broke his collarbone last year, but when he's healthy, he's
19:21
Speaker 1: definitely their number two option, big playability. He started this
19:24
Speaker 1: year he had a hamstring strain, so that's part why
19:26
Speaker 1: his numbers are down. He missed the first two games,
19:28
Speaker 1: been working his way back into it. Three games this year,
19:31
Speaker 1: ten receptions, one hundred nine yards, and if you remember too,
19:34
Speaker 1: they also had tanked Del disgusting injury.
19:36
Speaker 2: My goodness, big ups M.
19:37
Speaker 1: Hopefully his recovery is going well, but yeah, no, these
19:40
Speaker 1: two guys are ones that can hurt you in the
19:42
Speaker 1: Seahawk secondary.
19:43
Speaker 2: Who's been dinged up.
19:44
Speaker 1: We'll see who plays on Sunday, But those are guys
19:46
Speaker 1: that you definitely got to look out for.
19:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's talk about our receivers JSN and Cooper
19:51
Speaker 3: Cup against Stingley, who's arguably the best dB in the
19:55
Speaker 3: game right now, yep, and the tech and secondary. JSN
19:59
Speaker 3: did what he does. He had eight receptions for one
20:00
Speaker 3: sixty two one touchdown. Against Jacksonville. He had a sixty
20:03
Speaker 3: one yard reception, which is the longest of his career.
20:06
Speaker 3: Sunday was his fourth one hundred yard game of the season.
20:09
Speaker 3: Before this year, he had three games of one hundred yards.
20:12
Speaker 3: My man is a number one receiver. His one hundred
20:14
Speaker 3: and sixty two yards is the second most in his career.
20:17
Speaker 3: I believe it was against the Rams last year. He
20:19
Speaker 3: bawled out when what DK was out. Jason has at
20:22
Speaker 3: least thirty six has at least a thirty six yard
20:24
Speaker 3: reception in every game this season. He now leads the
20:27
Speaker 3: NFL with six hundred and ninety six yards. Those six
20:29
Speaker 3: hundred nine six yards are the most in any six
20:32
Speaker 3: game span in Seahawks history. According to ESPN, He's had
20:35
Speaker 3: at least seventy nine yards in every game this year.
20:39
Speaker 2: Okod's that's all right. You do.
20:41
Speaker 1: What Jay said is doing right now is unbelievable. He
20:43
Speaker 1: needs one hundred yards become the second player in franchise
20:46
Speaker 1: history to record three consecutive hundred yard receiving games. He
20:49
Speaker 1: should have had it. It was like three or four
20:51
Speaker 1: yards shorter this year, and he's balling out. He's about
20:53
Speaker 1: to do it again. He needs one hundred yards to
20:54
Speaker 1: tie six players for second place in franchise history with
20:57
Speaker 1: five hundred yard receiving games in a single season in
20:59
Speaker 1: twelve receptions, to pass DK for most receptions in a
21:02
Speaker 1: player's first three season franchise history with two hundred and seventeen.
21:06
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say he's going to get that. Yeah,
21:08
Speaker 2: hes probably gonna get there.
21:09
Speaker 3: Like I mentioned, four two catches, six ninety six three touchdowns,
21:12
Speaker 3: and then Cooper Cup is doing exactly what I thought
21:15
Speaker 3: he would do for this ball club. We don't need
21:17
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred yards out of ye Cooper Cup. You be
21:19
Speaker 3: the mentor and you be consistent, and that's exactly what
21:23
Speaker 3: he's been. He has twenty three receptions on thirty two
21:25
Speaker 3: targets for two sixty one. He caught his first touchdown
21:27
Speaker 3: as a seahaug last week and was as well eclipsed
21:30
Speaker 3: the eight thousand yard career receiving yards list. The Texans
21:34
Speaker 3: are fit against the pass, allowing one hundred and seventy
21:36
Speaker 3: five yards per game.
21:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're exactly right. I think he's doing everything
21:39
Speaker 2: you need to do. He has.
21:41
Speaker 1: They're obviously not to take anything away from JSM because
21:44
Speaker 1: he was going to be a number one type receiver
21:46
Speaker 1: and balling out, but having Cup in that room has
21:50
Speaker 1: been a big thing for him.
21:51
Speaker 2: He's talked about it.
21:52
Speaker 1: Both those two bounces and ideas off each other, which
21:54
Speaker 1: is great. But they're gonna have their hands full this week.
21:55
Speaker 2: You mentioned it.
21:56
Speaker 1: Derek Singland Junior one of the best corners in the
21:58
Speaker 1: game right now. He's in his fourth season after being
22:01
Speaker 1: the third overall pick at LSU in the twenty twenty
22:03
Speaker 1: two draft. Everyone was talking about sauce. It's all about
22:06
Speaker 1: sauce for a little bit. Not the sauce is playing bad,
22:09
Speaker 1: but we haven't been hearing about him as much. Now
22:10
Speaker 1: we're hearing about this guy. Drestineley for sure, really came
22:13
Speaker 1: into his own last season for the first time. He
22:14
Speaker 1: started all seventeen games, fifty four tackles for TFLs, eighteen
22:18
Speaker 1: passes defended, five interceptions, pro bowler in first team All Pro.
22:23
Speaker 1: Now he's, you know, battling an oblique injury, but he
22:26
Speaker 1: hasn't really missed any time this year, and he should
22:28
Speaker 1: be a little bit rested coming off the bye week.
22:30
Speaker 1: This is one we haven't had one of these in
22:32
Speaker 1: a little bit, like a straight up get your popcorn
22:34
Speaker 1: ready for a lot of years on this show we
22:35
Speaker 1: talked about anytime we play the rams and and Ramsey.
22:39
Speaker 1: This is one of those. So I'm interested to see
22:41
Speaker 1: how they how they approach this. What is he gonna do?
22:44
Speaker 1: Is there even follow the JSN? Is there me anything
22:46
Speaker 1: they do there? But that's gonna be one that definitely
22:48
Speaker 1: should circle and be watching on Monday.
22:49
Speaker 2: Night, Dingley.
22:50
Speaker 3: The reason why DB's are getting paid too, you know
22:53
Speaker 3: this Texans just to pay their guys. Yes, well, I
22:56
Speaker 3: guess the Texts did pay Chris and Kirk, but they
22:58
Speaker 3: got him.
22:59
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, all right, so let's look at Will Anderson.
23:01
Speaker 3: Is Danielle Hunter, right, Daniel Daniel, I think, okay, we'll
23:05
Speaker 3: go Danielle. I think it's Danil all right, all right,
23:07
Speaker 3: and we'll go. Asi's al shair against everybody. This defense
23:12
Speaker 3: is top five and almost every major statistical category. Why
23:15
Speaker 3: is that they got some dogs on outside of the ball.
23:17
Speaker 3: You start with Alabama standout Will Anderson. He's been really
23:21
Speaker 3: disrupted this season. According Next Gen Stats, Anderson averages five
23:24
Speaker 3: point two pressures per game this season, which is fourth
23:27
Speaker 3: in the NFL. He also recorded ten pressures in fifty
23:30
Speaker 3: four snaps against Tampa Bay that is the second most
23:33
Speaker 3: in a game this season. So far this year, seventeen tackles,
23:36
Speaker 3: three secks, six TFLs, and six quarterback hits.
23:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's a baller. He's an absolute baller. And
23:40
Speaker 1: he's got this big brace on his elbow. He just
23:43
Speaker 1: looks like a dog out there and he backs it up.
23:45
Speaker 1: And then Danil Hunter is another guy having a great season.
23:48
Speaker 1: Five time pro bowler, he's done his thing. Spent his
23:50
Speaker 1: first eight years in Minnesota before coming to Houston last year.
23:53
Speaker 1: He had twelve sacks last year seventeen TFLs, twenty three
23:55
Speaker 1: quarterback hits through five games. This year, he's off to
23:58
Speaker 1: another great start. Twelve tackles Leeds team four TfL's five
24:02
Speaker 1: QB hits.
24:04
Speaker 3: These guys can play. And now I didn't even talk
24:06
Speaker 3: about this third guy yet. As he's I'm watching him
24:09
Speaker 3: on film NOWS and he's like a bullet just getting downhill,
24:12
Speaker 3: getting after these guys. He's a playmaker, he's a leading tackler,
24:16
Speaker 3: he's a physical player. He's always around the football. He
24:19
Speaker 3: came on the far a little bit with big hits
24:21
Speaker 3: in his career, and that's hard.
24:22
Speaker 2: I was talking to Dave Whinman about this.
24:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so hard to play defense in today's NFL,
24:26
Speaker 3: and these guys have to make split decisions, you know,
24:29
Speaker 3: while there on the football field. And he's he's been
24:31
Speaker 3: a I wanna call him a victim. He's been a
24:33
Speaker 3: recipient of a few questionable calls. But you don't want
24:37
Speaker 3: to take that aggressiveness from him if you are the
24:39
Speaker 3: Texas DC.
24:39
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I think they felt a little differently
24:41
Speaker 2: about that.
24:42
Speaker 1: Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence, you get to get his three game
24:44
Speaker 1: suspender for that he's also finding seventeen thousand for a
24:46
Speaker 1: hit on Cam Morard earlier this month. But there's no
24:50
Speaker 1: uh huh. He's an absolute monster. There's no whether you
24:55
Speaker 1: think some of these hits are clean or not. When
24:56
Speaker 1: you watch him on the field. Almost I didn't even
24:58
Speaker 1: have words for it, because he's everywhere in the field.
25:00
Speaker 1: He's a great linebacker. So much so I've been reading,
25:03
Speaker 1: you know, different articles out there that the Niners after
25:05
Speaker 1: Fred Warner went down, people were like, we need to
25:07
Speaker 1: go get this guy.
25:07
Speaker 2: They need to do whatever they can to get this guy.
25:09
Speaker 2: But he's playing good ball.
25:10
Speaker 1: Thirty two tackles, one quarterback, hit, one forming, three passes
25:13
Speaker 1: defended bump. They got someone at every level that can
25:16
Speaker 1: kind of that can that can hurt you over there
25:18
Speaker 1: for sure, so's it's definitely gonna.
25:19
Speaker 3: Be don't sleep on these Texans for real. They got
25:23
Speaker 3: some ball was over there.
25:25
Speaker 1: But big opportunity, national audience. We're gonnaell you' Seahawks can
25:28
Speaker 1: get this done. Path of victory.
25:31
Speaker 3: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Dixon puts
25:35
Speaker 3: it down.
25:35
Speaker 2: That kick is away. If that kick is gone to
25:39
Speaker 2: day off, when it's gun, it's a path to victory.
25:42
Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk, the Seahawks they could still be without
25:45
Speaker 1: some big guns on defense, but we're gonna wait and
25:47
Speaker 1: see it and take it all the way up to
25:48
Speaker 1: Monday night, of course. But I want them to build
25:50
Speaker 1: off a big performance in Jacksonville, and that starts upfront,
25:53
Speaker 1: getting after c. J.
25:54
Speaker 2: Stroud.
25:54
Speaker 1: This defensive line went absolutely nuts. Bump seventeen quarterback hits
25:59
Speaker 1: seven sacks to a team that didn't give up a
26:01
Speaker 1: lot of sacks.
26:02
Speaker 2: Strout. He makes this offense go and they got to
26:05
Speaker 2: make it a long day for him.
26:06
Speaker 3: Long day, make him make some bad decisions. Stroud's been
26:09
Speaker 3: pretty good with the football, so we got to do that.
26:11
Speaker 3: Stop the run. Chubb can't go off. Now he's a
26:16
Speaker 3: he's still got some juice to him.
26:18
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:18
Speaker 2: It's not even mean disrespectful. I'm just saying, yeah, you're yeah,
26:21
Speaker 2: he's still got some juice to him.
26:22
Speaker 3: Yes he's thirty, Yes he's had some bad injuries, but
26:24
Speaker 3: he's running confidently. You are the number two rush defense
26:27
Speaker 3: in this league. You gotta back it up and then
26:30
Speaker 3: keep guys in front. We talk about Nico Collins and
26:32
Speaker 3: his deep ball threats. You got Christian Kirk over there,
26:34
Speaker 3: who's fastest hecked as well. This has been a struggle
26:38
Speaker 3: for a couple of reasons or for a couple of weeks,
26:40
Speaker 3: but they got it him.
26:42
Speaker 1: Just keep everything in front of you without question. Then
26:44
Speaker 1: you flipp the offense side of the ball. Find a
26:46
Speaker 1: way to be better on third down. I think that's
26:47
Speaker 1: the one nitpicky thing we can get on him. For
26:49
Speaker 1: one to twelve is not good enough. They gotta stay
26:51
Speaker 1: on the field. But again you supplement that with big
26:53
Speaker 1: plays to Jsen and Darnold. The production between those who's
26:57
Speaker 1: unreal best connection in the league.
26:59
Speaker 2: Big part of this. Definitely got to keep it rolling. Yeah,
27:02
Speaker 2: and protect your quarterback.
27:04
Speaker 3: Only seven secs allowed on the whole season and a
27:06
Speaker 3: Bucal those came in one game four.
27:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it is protect your quarterback.
27:11
Speaker 3: Let him do what he does the best in the
27:12
Speaker 3: play action game, the best on the football down the field,
27:15
Speaker 3: the best when it comes on target throws.
27:17
Speaker 2: Allow him to be great.
27:18
Speaker 1: Now, this is like you said, don't sleep on in Texans.
27:20
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a tough physical matchup, absolutely, but
27:23
Speaker 1: you got some a big opportunity in from national audience.
27:25
Speaker 1: Like I said, they can get this done on primetime
27:27
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. They will go into the bye week,
27:30
Speaker 1: get a lot of guys back, Robert Ootz will come off,
27:32
Speaker 1: fire all that stuff, and they'll be five and two,
27:34
Speaker 1: hopefully on top of the NFC West. Reminder, gears everywhere, YouTube,

27:52
Speaker 1: a host, but he needs to get a haircut. Let
