• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and the kid out of Washington State has found himself
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a place.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: On this team.

  Speaker 1: Now, here's your host, Nasa Chovie. Welcome in, Welcome into
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: another edition of Hawk Talk. The Seahawks took down the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans twenty to seventeen on Christmas Eve, Mary, Christmas.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Everyone out there, Happy holidays. It's been good for Seahawks fans.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Bump the last two weeks, thrilling wins game winning drives,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: two twenty to seventeen victories.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: The Seahawks hopes are not only.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Live, Bump, they're live and well because the Seahawks control
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of their own destiny moving forward, you win two, you're in.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You still have an opportunity to get the sixth seed
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the NFC playoffs. So right now, as of today,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: on December twenty seventh, things are pretty good, Bump. So Bump,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: tell me about the Titans game? Man, where are your
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: main takeaways? Would you leave that day feel like.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: I left feeling like Gino is still the guy and
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: will be the guy in reminding folks like, look now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: there's no competition between him and Drew, right, it's a
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: little friendly rivalry, all right. Drew ninety two yard drive
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: to win the game. That's what sub appreciate you, dog,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: held you down. Gino put together ninety six yard drive
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: won the game winner, but it's set up the next drive,
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: the longest drive of the season. Gino had two touchdowns,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: was in complete control of the game. The first half
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: didn't look too great for Geno, but then the second
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: half they settled down.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: The velocity and the football look good.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: You got clutch receptions from Tyle Lockett from dk JSN
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: is doing this thing. He's getting comfortable out there and
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: our guy boy yay. It's been with four, five, six
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: weeks since we saw him get after the quarterback he
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: has two sacks. So I saw a team that once
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: again enough to win the ball game twenty to seventeen,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: the exact same score as the week before, but did
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: it in a different way to end the game. Sacks
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: won the game this year, this week, where last week
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: it was interceptions that won the game. So I'd like
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: to see a complete game. The run game wasn't where
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: we wanted it to be. But you take a win.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: As Big Race says, a win isn't ugly enough to
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: ever give it back, so you will take a win
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: wherever you can. And this was who this team is.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: It's no surprise that they're winning close ones like this, No.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: And I love it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You're right, you know, at this point in the league,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it's not the BCS, it's not the colleor football playoffs.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: There's no committee. You just need to win ball games.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And that's where this team is at right now. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's really cool to see the resilience of this team.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row. We got a lot of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: young guys on the team, but backs against the wall,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we got to have it right now and they did.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And even on the defensive side, right they gave.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Up the touchdown the drive before, but when the game
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was on the line, Tanneh had plenty of time to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: get down the field and get three points. They weren't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: able to do that because of the plays made by
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it, Draymond Jones, Boy Mafe and Treequallen Arical
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: one excuse me had a really good game too, which
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you love to see and I love to see the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: second aar they were hitting Boy, Julian Lovequandre Diggs. All
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: these guys are being physical and breaking up passes and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: they've been eliminating the big play, which I love.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: To see recently. So another big win for the Hawks.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But we got to turn the page because to keep
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on going, the Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: What's on tap? What's on tap?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: These Steelers are eight and seven, third place in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: AFC North. They've had an interesting year. They get blown
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: out by the forty nine Ers to start the season,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but they have impressive wins now over the Browns, the Raiders,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens, which I still scratch my head about,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but they got it done, the LA Rams, the Titans,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Packers, and the Bengals twice. They have losses to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the Texans, Jags, Browns, Cardinals, Patriots, and Colts as of late.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: So they're an interesting team.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: They're they're kind of all over the place at quarterback
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: right now, but they're not gonna down.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Mike Tomlins a great coach.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: They're a team that showed some resilience last week against
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Bengals.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Bump.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: So what have you seen from these Steelers?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: The Steelers, Let's focus on what they did last week
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: against Cincy. Now, we all heard about Jake brown especially
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: around these parts right the fairy tale. It came to
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: an end this week for Jake Brownie. He was playing
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: some good football man. The Steelers beat the Bengals thirty
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: four to eleven last week. Brownie still threw for three
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: and thirty five yards, but he had a career high
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: in interceptions. He had three of them. Things on the
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: other side, Mason Rudolph got his first start in two
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: years and he played well. Seventeen and twenty seven to
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: ninety and two touchdowns. Start of the day has to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: be George Pickens. He was criticized all week about him
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: not blocking for his running back. He says, I'm not
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: here to block, I'm here to catch the football. Score touchdowns.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: That's what he did. Four receptions for one hundred and
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: ninety five yards and two touchdowns and eighty six yard
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: touchdown and a sixty six yard touchdown. Man, my man
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: was everywhere. If you're not gonna block, I guess you
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: put up numbers like that, then all is well, we'll
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: forgive you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: No, he bought out. I mean good on him, man.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: A lot of people talking. He's a headline on every
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: on Sports Center, ESPN, all the things. He comes out
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and absolutely balls out, and Mason Rudolph gives them a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: spark that they didn't have when.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Trubisky Sorry I forgot his name.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Tubisky was starting those two games after Pikett went down,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and they got some good running backs Bump. We're gonna
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: get into those in the key matchups with Naje Harris
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Jalen Warrens.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: So they're doing well.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: This game was something that they dominated against the Bengals
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: who are fighting for a playoff berth at the same time.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely a big win as both teams are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, but Pittsburgh is still trying
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to get in the playoffs. They're currently the ninth seed
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in the AFC. But now let's take a look at
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the head to head comparison between these two teams, Seahawks
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and Steelers.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: We'll starting the offensive side of the ball.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Things are decently close, with the Seahawks having an edge
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in a couple categories. Seahawks are twenty second in the NFL,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: averaging three hundred and nineteen yards per game. They're twenty
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: ninth in the NFL in rush offense was definitely something
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they would love to improve on, middle of the pack
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: when it comes to pass offense fifteenth in the NFL
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: averaging two hundred twenty nine yards per game, and then
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: points per game they are nineteenth averaging twenty one point three.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Flipping me over to the other side, the Steelers. They
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: are twenty sixth in the NFL in total offense, averaging
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety four yards per game, sixteenth running
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the ball one hundred and ten yards per game. Struggle
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in the past, only averaging one hundred and eighty four
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: yards per game, that was good for twenty seventh in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the league. And look at the points per game they're
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: averaging seventeen that is twenty eighth in the league. So
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks have a slight advantage. I think this you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would take you know, some of the Seahawks players over them. Granted,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they have some good guys on offense from a matchup standpoint,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but the Seahawks have had a better work of you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: body of work this season and I hope to see
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that again carry over to Sunday. But the Steelers do
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have some explosive players in offense, so it will be
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a fun matchup to look at.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they do got to be on point man. We
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: talk about George Pickings. Naji Harris got warn over there
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: as well. But defensively is on on paper where the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Steelers have to as the twenty first overall, the Huks
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: twenty sixth twentieth against the run, the Hawks are twenty seven,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: twenty first. Against the past, the Hawks are nineteenth. This
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: is the stat that kind of baffled me a little bit.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I had to dig a little deeper. Right, the Steelers
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: are seventh when it comes to points allowed per game nineteen,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: the Hawks are twenty third. You look at their stats
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: above this right past defense, rush, defense, total offense, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: they're hovering around twenty. So what makes them be able
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: to shut things down? They're just get in the red zone.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: They're getting the resuds their top five when it comes
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: to red zone defense, so they're allowed to get a
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: whole bunch of yards in between the twenties. Once it
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: gets in the red zone, they buckle down just a
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: little bit. So the Hawks have struggled at times in
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: the red zone, so this is gonna be another good challenge.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: But last week they played with the number two defense
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: in the red zone and they were able to get
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: points there. So it's gonna be a battle either way
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: you put it. The Pittsburgh Steelers have thirty two sacks,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the Hawks have thirty seven. When it comes to interceptions,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: the Hawks have eleven the Steelers has sixteen. So again
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: an evenly match team on paper. This is the one
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: game in a while. I guess I'll give a week
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: too to why I say, hey, we got him at quarterback.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: At the quarterback spy.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Gino's always a guy who's gonna hang in air and
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: throw hands or whatnot. But with this matchup right here,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, all right, Gino's going to be the guy.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: He has to be the guy to win this ballgame
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: for this team. He did last week. Drew did it
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the week before, sprinkle on the run. But get Gino going,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: especially in the red zone, Yeah, no question about it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And I think the cool thing about Gino last week
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: is not only did you get it done in the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: red zone, he did not turn the ball over. He's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: only turned the ball over twice in his last five starts,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: so he's playing better football at that. From that standpoint,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and as long as the Seahawks protect the ball, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: think this is a game they should win. The Steelers
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: do a great job of taking the ball away. They're
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: tied for first and turnover differential at plus ten, So
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: definitely got to take care of the rock against this team. Now,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for Seahawks fans, we've been out there a long time.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks and the Steelers do have a deep rooted history.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: We'll jump into that now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: No your history.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I'm still one of those people who is not over
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and I don't care what anyone
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: tells me.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Doesn't matter.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: That's just who I am as a person, and I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: haven't let it go anyway. The all time series between
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: these two teams is tied at ten. Including the playoffs.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are ten and nine in the regular season.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: The last meeting, though, the Seahawks took on the Steelers
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football twenty twenty one. It was Gino's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: second start I believe, maybe first start in a Seahawks uniform.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, first start after Russell got hurt this in
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Russell breaks his finger. Seahawks go down
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and then plan on Sunday Night. The Hawks
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: were down fourteen to zero in the first half, a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: battle back behind some great runs by Alex Collins resting
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Pce young Man. He had one hundred yards that day
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on twenty carries in one touchdown. But when the game
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: got really interesting at the end, trailing twenty seventeen hut
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: or two minutes left in the game, Gino led the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Seahawks in a nine play fifty yard drive, ending with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the Jason Myers field goal that forced overtime. In overtimes,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: both teams traded punts on the first possessions. Then on
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the seahawks second possession of overtime, Gino Smith was hit
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: from behind.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: T J.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Watt sack fumble gave the Steelers a good field position.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: They would kick a field goal two plays later and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: win the game that day. Gino was twenty three to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: thirty two for two hundred nine yards in one touchdown,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: but with sack five times. Dk metcalf l of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Seahawks receivers with six receptions for fifty eight yards, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner and Jordan Brooks each had fourteen tackles. That
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: game was frustrating, Bump. I remember the Seahawks lost a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: lot of close games during that stretch. It was a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: really in between time. Obviously, it was cool to see
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith kind of give you a precursor of what
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he could do at the end of games, leading that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: game tying field goal drive and that one. But hopefully
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks can do a little bit more in this
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: one and get after the Steelers. But it was an
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: active week in the NFC West, headlined by a showdown
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: between the Niners and the Ravens. What's the word the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Seahawks or the NFC West champs?
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Again, what's the word in the West? On HOWK talk.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Man, the NFC West is heating up. You have the
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: San Francisco forty nine ers at eleven and four at
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: the top of the division, the Rams in the Hawks
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: log jam in the middle, there are both eight and seven,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: and then the Cardinals are three and Twelve's man, if
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: the playoffs started today, the nc West would have three
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: playoff teams. The Niners are holding down the number one spot.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: The Rams and the Seahawks had the final two wildcard
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: spots at eight. With the records at eight and seven,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks control their own playoff destiny.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: They win the next two games, they are good to go.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: But let's talk about the game of the week, the
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: forty nine Ers against the Baltimore Ravens. Man, I was
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: excited for this one. It was Christmas Day, late night game.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Let's see how this thing was gonna go down. And
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: it didn't go down the way I thought it was.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: It was close for a while, ended up being thirty
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: three to nineteen, but a lot because it's a rock party.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Man, it's hard to overcome foreignterceptions.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: It was eighteen to thirty two for two fifty five,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: no touchdowns in four interceptions.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: In the four losses this year, Rock perty is completing
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: seventy percent of his passes passes one thousand and seventeen yards,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: three touchdowns to nine interceptions in one fumble. Now I'm
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: going to give him a little bit of love. Two
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: of those were on him, the other two aren't get
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: his head short of gets hit. Maybe he can get
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: the full ball out of his hands earlier, but I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: not put all four on party.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: But he does get the stat four interceptions.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: The game was competitive into the second half, man trailing
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: sixteen to twelve and the forty Niners putting on the
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: first possession and the Ravens march down the field. Lamar
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Jackson fans Nelson Agalore, still in the league, still making plays.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Six Shard touchdown that made the score twenty three to twelve.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: So now the pressures back on the Niners. What is
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: rock Perty going to do? He throws a picked to
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: Patrick Queen on the next offensive play. Then Lamar he
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: threw a second touchdown in the span of eighteen seconds,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: finding Zay Flowers, who I think is probably the best
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: rookie wide received in the league this year, and that's
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: stilled the game he made. Lamar made his case for
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: the league MVP, who was twenty three thirty five to
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: fifty two, two touchdowns and the zero interceptions. He also
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: had forty five yards on seven Harry's for the Niners.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Kittle and I each had over one hundre yards for
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Stephen McCaffrey started a game one hundred three yeards rushing
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: on fourteen carres and one touchdown. Both teams remain in
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: first place and still control their destiny to lock down
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: the number one seed. But to me, this was the
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: matchup but the two best teams in the NFL, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Purple got the gold.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that they came in there and they
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: did that in Santa Clara and the Niners have been
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the bullies, right. Everyone talked about how you know, essentially
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: they're the best seaming the league. The Ravens had to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: hear it all week. You had Pro football talk, everyone
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: talking about them. And they went in there and they
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: punched the bully in the face. I mean, that's what
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: happened the one. The crazy thing is like, they're an
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: amazing football team. The Niners still are. They're still probably
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC has right now, right,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: but it's it's very interesting to see when someone of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: us punches in back. There was less talking. I didn't
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: see any laughter on the sideline. I didn't se people
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: getting pea faces. It's just a it's very interesting there,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but no big ups with the Ravens. Those are two
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: really good football teams and now the hell of a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: football game. So we'll see what happens moving forward the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: nine er Silk and control their destiny. Like Bump said,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to win the number one seed elsewhere in the division.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We'll just get through these real quick. Saints at Rams.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Rams took down the Saints last Thursday, winning thirty to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: twenty two. They are blowing them out thirty seven. Saints
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: make it interesting late but can't get enough at the end.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Rams hold on Stafford was twenty four to thirty four,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: three twenty eight, two touchdowns. Kyron Williams who continues to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: just ball out another one hundred yard game for him
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and Pooka Nakua continues his dominance one hundred and sixty
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: four yards, nine receptions, one touchdown. I would say if
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you're probably the Rams, He's like, yeah, we knew he'd
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: be this good.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: No, you didn't. Good for you?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: You're holding for six hundred yards and four touchdowns.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: If that man man, I I good for him. Who
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: go's killing the game. The other matchup Cardinals at Bears.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I mean this was a rough one for two teams
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that are struggling. Bears were beating the Cardinals pretty good.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: They end up winning twenty seven to sixteen. And you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: know you said it a couple of weeks ago, Bump.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I think you said, you know, big ups to Calamary
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: because he came back when he didn't need to hustle
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: back for a team that is not very good. Right
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: he Ne's won three games last nine in a row,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: one point, and believe so big ups to him. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the crazy thing is, but I won't even say too much.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I don run jinx anything. Because Jessica's are three and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: twelve does not mean they're not going to give the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Seahawks everything they have In Week eighteen. The Seahawks will
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: needed to get into the playoffs all this stuff. So
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: as bad as the Cardinals are right now, I will
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: not be surprised if that's the close.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Kamp, No, not at all. This is the NFC West
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: and you never know what's going to go down. You
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: got four competent quarterbacks, got some good coaches out here.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Don't sleep on no body. But let's focus on the Steelers.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: So let's get back to Let's go to man up
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: and see what these.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Matchups look like.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Man up on Hawk Talk.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: All Right, you know you gotta start with the quarterback,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: but the Steelers have had several guys play that position.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Man for the third week in a row, there's a
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: little uncertainty about who the Seahawks will face at quarterback.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Man Mike Tomlin provided some clarity this week. He said, look,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: they prepare as if Mason Rudolph will be the quarterback.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: We've seen We've seen Kenny Pickett, we've seen Mitch Trubisky.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Now we've seen Mason Rudolph. Man, but let's talk about
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Picket for a little bit. Okay, Picket, he's having some
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: surgery on his ankle. On the year, Picket completed sixty
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: two percent of his passes for two thousand yards, six
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: touchdowns and four interceptions.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: He was sacked twenty three times.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: All Right.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: The other quarterback, Mitch Trubisky, the former number two pick
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: of the Chicago Bears. You talk about finessing the NFL.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: This guy might be the captain of the finest game.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: He played in a few games. In the games he
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: did play, he was thirty eight fifty eight three fifty
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: nine and two touchdowns, three interceptions, and he was sacked
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: five times after two bad losses, Tomlin again it made
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: a change, and it says, all right, we went from
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Kenny to Trubisky. Now we're going to Mason Rudolph. When
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: I think of Mason Rudolph, I just think of him
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: being concussed with a helmet on, with our face masks
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: walk into the sideline.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Every time, I just get that image out of my head.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I feel bad for associating him with only that, but
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: that's all I got from my man.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: He's had. He's played in nineteen games, eleven starts.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: In those games, he's completed sixty one percent of his
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: passes twenty six hundred and fifty nine yards, eighteen touchdowns,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: and eleven interceptions. He started eight games in twenty nineteen.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: In one game in twenty twenty twenty one and twenty three, defensively,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks hell an opponent to under twenty points for
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: the second consecutive week.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Let's keep this scene going.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: The Hawks were twenty six in the NFL in total
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: defensive line three hundred and fifty yards per game, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: their nineteen that gets to pass allowing to twenty nine.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna go out and hope that Mason had
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: his moments last week. You beat the Cincinnati Bengals, you
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: throw for a bunch of yards, George Pickens bounce back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Now it's back to reality. You gotta play a defense
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: that's playing some good football. As a black you hah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: no question. And you're going on the road. You're not
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: gonna be at home.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You're playing a team that is fighting for their playoff
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: lives and they've been in this fight mode for the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: last two weeks. So yeah, I'm hoping, like you said that,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we get after him. We get after the quarterback, we
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: sack him, and we make things hard for him. He
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: comes into the lum and it's gonna be loud. It's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: going to me New Year's Eve, so people be rearing
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Jack Dell fired up. So yeah, I'm
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: hoping Mason Rudolph had his best game of his career
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: last week. Now, flipping over to our quarterbacks, you know Smith,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: our guy. He made his return to the starting lineup
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: after missing two games with that groin injury. His stat
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: line didn't necessarily light the world on fire against the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Titans if you're looking at it, but he is efficient.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: He's twenty five thirty six two hundred and twenty seven
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: yards with two touchdowns. He also led his fourth game
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: winning drive of the season, recording his fourteenth in his
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: career in just sixty four starts. I don't think this
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: gets enough love because people keep saying it. But you
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: gotta think about that. He's leading game winning drives in
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: twenty one percent of his starts. It's essentially one of
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: very five games he's leading a game winning drive.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's insane to me. You want to talk about clutch
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: like he is clutch on that game winning drive in Tennessee.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: He was three for three on third down. That sounds
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: pretty damn clutch to me.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I know, Bump, you've been outlining all week how good
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks have been on these game winning drives and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: on third down.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: So it's good as see, Geno. Keep that up you.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: You know, just nineteen attempts away from passing John Kidnap
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for sixth place on the Seahawks all times attempts list
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: at one thy one hundred and twenty nine. On the year,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he's completing sixty four percent of his passes, three one
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty five yards, seventeen touchdowns, and ninety interceptions
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: with a ninety quarter back rating.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Now he's taking on the Steeler team.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We mentioned it earlier and had to head this twenty
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: one in total defense, twenty first against the pass, twentyeighth
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: against the run, seventh in points allowed, and thirteenth in sacks. So,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith, you know I said earlier, I love that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: he's not turning the ball over. I love how he
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: made three throws bump in that second half, which are
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: unbelievable because first of all, Seahawks had to score in
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: every one of those drive to win the game against
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the Titans. But he had the one ball the JS
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and the one ball the DK and then the one
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: ball to Kolby. I mean he Gino does not get
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: enough love for sometimes his precision and his accurate passing
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that I think he should.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: So I'm all for. I love where Gino's at.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It's good to see him healthy because he gives this
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: team the best opportunity to win, and I'm looking forward
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to seeing what he can do against the Steelers.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I'm on, Gino, keep the good times of rolling.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Man talking about rolling, you got two good running backs
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: over there for the Pittsburgh Steels.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about Naji Harris and Jalen Warren.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Najie Harris man looking for another one thousand yard seasons.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: He's this is his third year. He's got back to
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: back seasons. He's looking for a back to back thousand
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: yard seasons. He's looking for one more. His three three
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: hundred and thirty five rush yards or fourth in the
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: NFL since the start of the twenty twenty one season.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: In twenty twenty one, he was voted to the Pro
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Bowl and the NFL's All Rookie Team. Back year, he
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: had twel hundred yards and seven touchdowns, also seventy four
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: receptions and forward to sixty seven yards and three touchdowns.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Last season, he had one thousand and thirty four with
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: seven touchdowns. He also had forty one receptions for two
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: hundred and twenty nine yards and three touchdowns. This year,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: he's got eight hundred yards and five touchdowns. He also
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: has twenty four receptions four one hundred and forty nine
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: yards in zero touchdowns. While his rushing numbers are solid,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: his impact on the past as a pass catcher is
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: way down. He's fifty receptions short of where he was
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: his rookie season, So that's just what do you attribute
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: to that? Is it is it George Pickens? Is it
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: the offense? Is it the quarterbacks? What do you think
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: is going on with that stat? I think it's because
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: of Warren.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's because of Jalen Warren because first of all,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: this guy a great story coming at a JUCO player.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Then he goes to Utah State, doesn't get a ton
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of love. I think he was there for cheers. And
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: then he goes to Oklahoma State. This dude rushes for
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: one thousand yards eleven touchdowns, doesn't get drafted, and he
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: just he makes the team coming out and plays really well.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Kind of average stats his rookie year.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: With this last year, he's got one hundred twenty seven carries,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy six yards, three touchdowns, But he's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the one now has fifty two receptions for three hundred
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and thirty yards. So I think that's where the receptions
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have kind of gone. But bump, they're fun to watch
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and if you if you if you need to see
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: anything or know anything about Jalen Warren in the Steeler
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: running game, watch the Cincinnati game, watch him smack Oh
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: my goodness of Bengals linebacker fifty seven. I'm blanking on
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: his name, but Mike Goodness, bump. He hit this man
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: into next week. It's one of those you know those
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: memes right where you get crossed up, make sure you're
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: flying into space or something like that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: That's what he did. Totally smoke. So these guys bring
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the lunch pail. They can run it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that. I appreciate that, But none of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: that this weekend.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Now, let's talk about the receivers for this still is
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: George Pickens of the Goon who wore a ski masks
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: when he got drafted, and Deontay Johnson versus the Seahawks secondary.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: George Pickens was all over the headlines leading into last
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: week's game for the wrong Reeves is not blocking, saying,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: look I don't want to get hurt and all that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: Look I'm a receiver. I understand where you're coming from,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: but you got a block. A right receivers create the
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: big plays, man. But last week he just went off.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: He fought all the negativity in the press.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: He does his thing.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: One hundred and ninety five yards on four targets in
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: an eighty six yard touchdown, in a sixty six yard
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: touchdown Pickings is a sixth receiver in the NFL to
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: register multiple sixty plus yard TV receptions in the same
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: game since two thousand and six.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: It does not happen often. That eighty six yard.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: TD reception was the longest reception, TD reception and offensive
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: play from scrimmage in the NFL this season. On the year,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: fifty six receptions of one thousand and nine yards and
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: five touchdowns. Let's talk about Deonte He's got forty three
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: receptions for five hundred and fifty two yards and four touchdowns.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: After giving up tons of exposed to play to the
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: forty nine ers the Seahawks, they started to lock it down.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: And you go from the Niners and then you got
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: the Eagles. What are you gonna do against a J.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Brown and Devonte Smith? You lock him down?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Neither of those guys have more than fifty six yards.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Got a credit reg Willam, Trey browwn and Mike Jackson.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon wasn't available, so those guys have to step up.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: The seatofs are nineteenth in the NFL, allowing two hundred
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: and twenty nine yards per game.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon missed last week.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, He's missed three games this year, but he is
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: still fourth in the NFL with sixteen passes defended on
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: the season. He only has one game this season where
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: he does not have a pass defenditant they keep going
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: at him.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: He keeps coming big. Hopefully he'll be back this week.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: We shall see.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Man. The Hawks is the team. They have seventy one
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: passes defendant. That's eleventh in the NFL. So I look
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: at his defense and I go, what's the strength. It
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: has to be in the secondary, right, think about Reek
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: and Devin Witherspoon in the safeties. But you know, I
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: think the defense is working on an identity, and I
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: think it starts with the back end.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I like what the d linemen are doing.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: I think we'll talk about them in a bit, but
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: look at that secondary and go, no matter who you
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: plug in there, they're making plays.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So you get spoom back. You feel good about this week.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You had no question about it. I think d line
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: obviously in the defensive backs were candid hand. But if
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you're taking the ball away and you're locking guys up,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that just helps him. If the quarterback has to pump
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: one more time, got a hold on out a half
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: second longer that helps the guys like Boy and those
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: guys get home. So definitely love what the Seahawks are doing.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: From a secondary standpoint. As of now, the last matchup
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I want to look at it is t J.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Watt Man. First of our body.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: TJ is you know, no one would have thought, or
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: at least I didn't think coming back to you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, that he would be a better
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: player than his brother when it's all said and done,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and he's going to be just from the numbers he's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: putting up right, JJ Watt's going to be a first
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer and his brother should be right
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: behind him. Because right now this year, for example, he
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: leaves the NFL sacks with seventeen, fifth in the NFL,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: and TFLs were sixteen. He's closing in on his third
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: career season in the NFL, leading the NFL sacks third time.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: He's the first player since nineteen eighty two, when the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: individual sack became an official statistic, to lead the league
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: three times. Watt is one of five players in NFL
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: history with ninety four sacks one hundred four tackles for loss,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety five quarterback hits, twenty seven forts fALS,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: ten recoveries, twenty strip sacks leads the NFL sacks twenty seventeen,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, Defensive Player of the Year, five time
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowler.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Three time All Pro. I could go on and on
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: and on and on and on. Do can play some ball.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: That's really all you need to know this year on
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the season, fifty eight tackles, seventeen sacks, sixteen TFLs, eight
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: passes defended, one interception. They're saving greats for me. In
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks offensive line, Charles Cross ab Lucas rust of them.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: They're battle tested. They've had to go against Nick Bosa,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, Aiden Hutchinson, MIKEAEH Parsons to name a few,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and there's the other dude from Cincinnati. They of his
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: name right now. But they've played all the best guys
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: in the league upfront. Rushing the passer. Seahawks have allowed
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: thirty seven sacks on the year, which they've kind of
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: fell back in the middle of the pack. They're eighteenth now,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: so just below the middle there. But I'm confident those
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: guys you're gonna find ways to slow him down. You know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: as long as he didn't have he might get one
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: or two month.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: That's is what it is. He's that good of a player.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: As long as he doesn't take over the game, I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: feel good about it. So anyway, he's that dude. You're
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: gonna see him making plays. But lock him down, contain him,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and the Seahawks will have a really good chance of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: getting this victory. But we'll tell you how they get
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that done. Path to victory.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: After forty five waits for the staff, Michael Dixon puts
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it down.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: That kick is away. If that kick is gone, to
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: stay off.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: When it's gone.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: It's a path to victory. On Hawk Talk, I this
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: is how they're going to get it. Don Okay, the
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: playoffs are now. You control your own destiny. You need
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: to win the next two weeks and you are in
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, and you got to take care of the football.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: You are five and one when not committing a turnover.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Let's do that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: You are five and zero when they win the turnover battle. Simple,
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: take care of the football, win the turnover battle. You
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: should be good to go, Gino, continue to be you.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: You are good enough to push this team to the
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: playoffs and possibly win a game. I'm gonna go ahead
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: and throw it out there, all right. Continue to get
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: the running backs involved, as we've been saying all week.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: The last couple of weeks, they're six and oh when
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: they rush for one hundred yards. So ken Walker needs
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: to be in the game plan early and often feed
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: the young man.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no question about it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Last week the se yaw still only got fifty eight
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: yards rushing and believe on twenty carries.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: So definitely want to see more of that.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Want to see the carriers go up there and keep
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: finding a way to get the ball in the hands
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: of your young guys. Right, DK Maykalfe making plays. JSN
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: has really come along strong. I feel like I'm third down.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: He's really emerging, you know, as that third threat, as
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that guy can really help this offense. I want to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: see him spread the love and let's get tired of
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: back invalld Man. Tyler's always good for a couple of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: key clutch catches, So let's keep slinging that thing defensively.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I just talked about it for a long time.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Block DJ watt Man, don't let them take over the game,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and you'll have a chance and then get after Mason Rudolph. Please,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been a starter for a reason. He hasn't
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: been to start us in twenty twenty one, and he's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a guy who's coming off a really good game, but
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: now he's got to go into a hostile environment.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Get after the quarterback.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the Seahawks had a lot of pressure last
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: week to help win the game against fran Tannehill. I
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: think they can do the same this week and that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: should help you take the ball away. And if you
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: do those things, it's gonna be a nice, happy New Year,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: nice little, nice little Christmas gift, a little New Year's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: gift as you go into twenty twenty four, and you know,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: hoping to chase the Seahawks down in a fun playoff run.
• 29:49
