  Speaker 1: nine ers, they lost the Eagles on that last second
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: block kick run back for a touchdown, So it was
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in that game.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: They lost a tough one in the San Francisco.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Forty nine ers a couple like about a month ago,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: they had some losses, you know, or some wins that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: weren't super impressive.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: The Ravens won.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Only beating them seventeen to three, but they also throttle
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the Jags in the Saints, they're a good football team, Mump.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They haven't trailed since Week six. And what do you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: see from him against the forty nine ers last weekend? Man?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: The Rams, we've been paying attention. Let me see what's
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: going on with the Rams.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: They got the forty nine ers and Matthew Stafford ip
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: thirty seven. But he's bawling like he twenty seven, like
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: he is just getting into his Prime on On Sunday,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Stanford set an NFL record with his third straight game
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: with at least four touchdown passes and no interceptions.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: He is being extreme efficient.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: He finished the day twenty four thirty six two eighty
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: four touchdown and it became the ninth player ever with
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: at least four hundred touchdowns.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of touchdowns. Okay, it's alright good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Sorry. The Rams were all over the Niners right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: They jumped up to a twenty one ozer lead that
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: had a ten play sixty four yard drive, at seven
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: play eighty six yard drive, and a nine play fifty
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: nine yard drive.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: That offense was click clicking and it was flowing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: The Niners tried to make it interesting, getting on the
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: board with a six yard touchdown to Juwan Jenny's making
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the score twenty one to seven and a half time.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: That's when I was all right, man. They got to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: get a stop or come out and score in the
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: second half. They got the ball to start the second half,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: went ten plays sixty five yards and pulled to within
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: one score with the Brian Robinson one yard touchdown making
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: the score twenty one to fourteen. Then the round score
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: touchdowns on the next three drives, Devonte Adams, puking Akua, Parkinson,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and Davis Allen all have receiving touchdowns. Kyin Wims had
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: seventy three yards on fourtune carriers two touchdowns.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: The Niners.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Mac Jones had another solid day man thirty three to
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: thirty nine, three touchdowns, one interception, had nine for eighty
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: four in a touchdown. DeVante left the game win all bleak,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: but it sounds like he gonna try to play.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it was impressive. This forty nine Ers team,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they stick in ball games. That's what they've done all
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: year despite the injuries. I don't want to say they've
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: gotten really lucky at quarterback, but they have everyone. I mean,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Jones has played amazingly. Obviously, back in the day, they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: didn't know what they had with Perty when he first
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: got out there. So Jones is kept in relevant, obviously
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: killed back and they're doing his thing. But wasn't enough
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because this Rams team is playing incredibly good football, just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like the Seahawks are, and it's like they were on
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this collision course. We knew this was coming to a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: head and here we are. So let's look at the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: head to head comparison between these two teams. Offensively, the Seahawks,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they're ninth top ten in total offense three hundred and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sixty yards a game, rush offense seventeenth in the NFL,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: pass offense sixth in points per game, third in the NFL.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So definitely excelling there, this offense playing at a high level.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: When look at the Rams offense, pretty similar. They are
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fifth in total offense at three hundred and seventy three
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: yards a game, eighteenth running the football at one thirteen.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They are second in passing offense at two hundred and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: fifty nine yards per game, and they are fifth in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: points per game at twenty seven.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So the numbers are super close.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Bump and you can mirror each other, right, really good
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: quarterback on each side, really good receiver on each side.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: A run game that is there, that is trying to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get there, isn't quite there yet. So yeah, these offenses
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: look really close.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Let's go to defense.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Total defense Seahawks ninth, Rams, eleventh, run defense Hawks third, Rams, ninth,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: past defense Hawks nineteenth Rams eighteenth points allowed. Hawks are fifth,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and the Rams are second. Time of possession as similar
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: as well. Hawks have the ballball twenty eight minutes per game,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the Rams have about thirty. When it comes to interceptions,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the Hawks have nine and the Rams have six. So
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: any category you look at, one team might have the
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: slight edge, but it's just that a slight edge.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy how well match up these two teams are.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And it's great because when you look at this division.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We've been saying this at the beginning of the year,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this is the best division of football in our opinion,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: because each and every week, even with the Cardinals, granted
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it's hard to say after Seahawks did what they did
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to them, but the car it was coming in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: last week had not been blown out at all. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: each and every week in this division, it's gonna be huge.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: This game is gonna have huge playoff implications down the road.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And these are division rivals. They play all the time,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: twice a year, so let us know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The history, no, your history.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Seahawks lead all time series twenty eight to twenty seven,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with a twenty eight and twenty five record in the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: regular season, zero and two in the postseason. The Rams, though,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have won three of the last four meetings. The Seahawks
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: did win the last game down there in so far
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: stadium in a season finale, and that was a bummer bump, yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because the Rams rested a majority of their starters and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we were really hoping that that was gonna be a win.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: In your in situation, the Seahawks.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: UNFOTU need help Arizona.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The week before, Trey McBride, I still have not forgiven you, sir,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for dropping that ball on the goal line.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, it was what it was.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks were playing for pride getting that tenth win
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year last year and uh,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know, George or excuse me, Gino Smith had a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: great day, had four touchdowns in his last game in
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the Seahawk and George Fan caught the game winning touchdown
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in that game. No offense, DK metcalf A, J Barner
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and Jake Bobo all caught touchdowns. Tyree knightd love the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: team with ten tackles. That game wasn't completely insignificant. Coach
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: McDonald got his tenth win and his first season as
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: head coach. That was a franchise record. It was the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: first seahawks first ten win season in four years. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what I took from that was you saw that coach
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Mack and this whole defense. This team was building something.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It started last year. They weren't quite there. They didn't
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: have quite the personnel they wanted, even on the coaching staff.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They revamped, they got after it. The Seahawks are what
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they are now. You can see it setting up a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: huge matchup with the Rams this weekend.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: But we were football attention to what's going on in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the NFC West. What's the word?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: And the Seahawks or the NFC West champs?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Again, what's the word in the West?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: On Hawk talk? All right?
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Like you you noted knotted up at the top seven
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: and two, seven and two, the Hawks and the Rams.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: You got San Francisco right beneath them at six to four,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and the scrap Arizona Cardinals. Man, they're gonna win more
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: games after third and six. So you're squaring off her
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: sole possession first place in the division. But this is
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: also the best game of the weekend. I think you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: can look at there's one more other game that's that's
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: probably interesting. I forgot who was But the reason why
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: I forgot is because this is the main game right
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: here right this is it. The past two seasons the
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Hawks have lost close November games. Man the Rams ended
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: up costing the Seahawks at playoff spot, something that's not
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: gonna happen this year. It's obvious, not the end of
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the world if one of these teams lose. But you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: you want the you want these points, you want to
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: be first in the division. Right, you're gonna square up
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: again later on the season, but you want to take
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: care of this one. The other game in the division
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: was a forty nine Ers traveling to the Desert to
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: take on the Cardinals. Right, he talked about the Niners,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: we talked about the Rams, we talked about the division.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: This is the easiest word in the West that we've
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: done all year. Man, that was time to uh to
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: man this thing up.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And before we man up bumping the matchups you were
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: looking at. It is the six and three Lions in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the seven and two Eagles that Sunday Night football. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: then the other matchup is the sixth in three Buccaneers.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: In six to three Bills exactly.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So those are two games the Seahawks and Rams still
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have better records, because really that's the primetime matchup there.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: So either way, let's get back into the Rams. Man up. Hey,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: who you got who you got you know what time
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it is. Man up man up, Brother, Man up man up.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk, we start with the quarterbacks each and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: every week, and for a good reason, especially this week,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. You know I both of us have talked
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: about Sam Donald being in the MVP discussion.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Firmly for how he's played this year.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: If there's anyone that's close to playing better that you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: could argue is playing better than Sam Donald, and it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a probably neck and neck, it's Matthew Stafford.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: If he has had an unreal season.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously in the MVP discussion, he's thirty seven years old.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You would not know it. I'm just gonna rattle off
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: some of these things.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: He's in a seventeenth season, Bump might be playing the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: best football of his career. Stafford already has more passing
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: touchdowns in ten games than he had during the twenty
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four seasons.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He leads the league in passing touchdowns twenty five, he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: second in the NFL and passing first downs one in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: twenty six. He has the longest completion of the season,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: eighty eight yards. He leads the league in yards per
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: game at two hundred and sixty nine. He is fourth
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the NFL in QB rating at one fourteen point eight.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: He has fourth in the NFL in passing yards of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: twenty four hundred and twenty seven. He's sent an NFL
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: record thurstraight game with at least four touchdown passes no interceptions.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He's a ninth member of the four hundred touchdown club.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And that's just getting you started.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Bump.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Here's arguably the most impressive thing about the season that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Stafford has had. He is absolutely dangerous against the Blitz.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Stafford blitz eighteen times against forty nine ers, high for
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: third most in a game this season.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Ten phases. Dude, he's a vet.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He went completed thirteen passes one hundred and sixty one yards,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: all four of his touchdowns in an EPA fourteen point four,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the second most for quarterback against the Blitz this season.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Listen if you want too.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And I'll do you one more.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: He is the only player to throw for four or
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: more touchdowns against the Blitz in a game this season.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He's done that three straight games, Bump, are you kidding me?
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Over that span thirty four to forty seven, seventy two
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: percent completion and forty six yards in thirteen touchdowns.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: No interception against the blitz. Bump that is that is dangerous.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: That tells me he knows exactly what he's looking at.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: He can anticipate the throws, and the guys on the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: outside are on the same page as well. You're getting
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: to your spots. You're not wasting time. Our guy's pretty
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: good against the blitz too.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this though, bump challenge accepted.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: If your coach McDonald that defense I'm really looking forward
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to with the Seahawks, as you all know, they don't
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: blitz very often.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: When they have blitz, they've gotten home.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: So this chess matter between McVeigh and McDonald is gonna
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: be great.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a good one. Man.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I wonder how so you know last week I said
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: in the pregame show, I go, well, do you think
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: McDonald might blitz a little bit more because of Tyree's
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: night in there? And the guys weren't convinced. But he
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: ends up blitzing a bit more and sending him like
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: does he bluff this week?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Like? What do you do to get into the mind
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: of a seventeen year vet.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You think, Oh, you think I'm not gonna bistter, I'm
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: gonna bless ye you think.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I'm I mean exact, Just go back and forth, all r.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about our guys.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Sam Donald had another fishing week last week against the Cardinals,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: but it took a hit on the production side of
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: things because of the blowout. Right ten for twelve or
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: one seventy eight, one touchdown and one crazy interception, once
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: again bouncing off a teammate.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Tab a QB rating of one eleven points eight.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Sam DWND is the only player in NFL history to
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: record a pass rating of one hundred and higher and
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: at least six games with players first nine games with
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: a team multiple times did it again in twenty twenty four.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Let's rattle off some of his numbers. He's seventh when
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: it comes to passing yards, he's first. When it comes
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: to the yards per pass, he's first. When it comes
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to yards per completion, he's third, and pass rating, he's
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: first in QBYR, and he's third in the NFL with
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: completing seventy one point seven percent of his passes.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Come on, Samuel, He's He's not He's mister Donald. This weekend.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Mister let's go, mister Darnald business trip.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: To La h And here's the cool thing about what
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Donald's doing. Obviously both quarterbacks to play this well, they're
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: being protected. Sam has only been sacked ten times this year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: That's number one in the NFL. How refreshing is that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to go from where this team was just a year ago. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it's unreal. So I'm excited about it. Got their handsful
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of the Rams eleven rank defense. They got players we're
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about as well, but ben it over to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: their offense though. Kyron Williams at running back against the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Seahawks front seven. Unlike the Cardinals a week ago, this
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: running back room is healthy and been solid consistent. Kyn
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Williams took over as the lead back in twenty twenty three,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hasn't looked back back to back one thousand yards season,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: back to back seasons with at least twelve rushing touchdowns
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: or in Pro Bowl Owners honors in twenty twenty three.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So far, he's eleventh this year in the NFL and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: rushing yards, second most scrimmage TD since twenty twenty three
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: with thirty nine.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: So he gets in the end zone.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: His number is one one hundred and forty six carries,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty nine yards, five touchdowns, and you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: also got twenty two receptions one hundred and seventy seven
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: yards three touchdowns. Backing them up, Blake korm former Michigan standout,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: he saw a number two backup sixty seven carries, three
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: hundred seven yards, one touchdown. They're eighteenth in the NFL,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and rushing they're very similar to. Seahawks are right there
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: about one hundred and fourteen hundred and thirty yards a game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And for me, Keytus can't go off. He's gonna get
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: if he gets, you know, fifteen carries for fifty yards
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: in a touchdown or least, that's okay with me. He
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: can't have one of the best days. I believe he's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: only gone over one hundred yards once this season and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Sunday cannot be that day. And I don't think it
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: will because the Seahawks have not allowed one hundred yard
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: rusher in eighteen straight games.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Second in the NFL.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Let's get it. Let's get it. They also got a
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: couple good receivers over there. He got Pooking the cool
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: and Devonte Adams been on paper the Rams and one
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: of the best wide receiver duels in the NFL.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: There's no denying that. Obviously.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Pooka has been emerging since twenty twenty three. Got Devonte
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Adams been in the league for more than a decade.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: He's been one of the best in the game. The
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: best part of Davante's game is his release in the
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: red zone. He will create just enough space catching football
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: in the red zone.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: He is an issue. He's he's been multi year Pro bowler.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: He is he is. He's what a receiver looks like.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: If you're not like a burner. You know, he's not
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: a guy who's gonna run by you, but he can
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: still influence you with his route running pooking. The cool
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: is more of the get me the football mills to
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: run three type of receiver.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Just a nice compliment to each other man.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: So I like this combo and so far this year,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Davante Adams, he has twelve years in a game, let
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: me get it right, twelve years in a game, three
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: time All Pro.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Twenty twenty through twenty twenty two.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: He has over twelve thousand receiving yards, eleven one hundred
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: and eleven touchdowns.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: He's forced in the NFL with career receiving yards.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: He's number one in the NFL with career receiving touchdowns
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: amongst active players this year forty two receptions, five hundred
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and sixty eight yards and nine touchdowns. His injury was
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I don't mean to laugh at injuries, but it was
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: when I saw what happened, I giggled a little bit.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: My man's like thirty two years old. Yeah, he gets
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: off the line of scrimmage, does a little shake up
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: by that back, he holds the side and I'm like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: that's an old man injury right there. But it look
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: looks like he's going to be back and ready to go.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: So yeah, DeVante big.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Ups well and he's still he leads the league in touchdowns, yeah,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with nine.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: So he's playing in Pouga and Akua.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He's been a little banged up, you know, after his
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: first season, he's missed some time, but when he's out there,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so killing the game. Still third in the NFL and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: receiving yard seven to seventy five sixty six receptions for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: four touchdowns.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: And Pooka's kind of replaced what Cooper Cup was for
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: all those years down there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: So it should be interesting to Seehaustra nineteenth against a pass.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But you know Rieq Willing, Devin Witherspoon and Josho and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Neami Pittrick, whoever's out there, this is their toughest task
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: all season long. Facts with the route runners, what they
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: do to get Poogan to cool open, They're gonna have
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to play their best game of the year. So I'm
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: excited for that matchup, especially now on our side.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: He's the best in the NFL. He I mean, it
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: is what it is.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: If we're looking at this year, he's the best in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's by a lot Jackson Smith and
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Jig but is properly Cooper Cup or Shichi Heed. We're
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: taking on this ram secondary so js In Like I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: said last week, inst Cardinals five receptions ninety three yards
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: on six targets easily could have gone for more. They
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: stopped throwing the ball in the second half. Unfortunately broke
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: his one hundred yard streak there, But in that game
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: became the eighth player in franchise history back to back
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: thousand yard seasons, twenty six player in NFL history to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: reach a thousand receiving yards in his first nine games.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Became the third I said twenty six in NFL history.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: That's not quite right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: But he became also the third player in the Super
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Bowl era with seventy five receiving yards in each of
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the first nine games of a season, journeying, Antonio Brown
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and Michael Irvin now in the top five for most
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: receiving yards, but in a player's first nine games in
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era one thy forty one. He's killing
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the game. Leeds the NFL in yards. And here's the thing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Next close person, Jamar Chase. He's head by two hundred
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and ten yards, so he is way ahead Leeds the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: NFL and yards per game one hundred and fifteen, leads
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: the NFL and yards per touch fifteen point nine, fifteen
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: yards per reception at sixteen point five. He's killing the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: game obviously. Now, bump Cooper Cup, come on, cool. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: don't want to call it a revenge game, but it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Going back to LA for the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: first time, he made a return to line up last week,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: had a good day. Two receptions seventy four yards, had
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: at sixty seven yards almost twenty six reception three hundred
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: sixty seven yards, one touchdown on the season. I'm really
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: excited for him, and I'm hoping obviously you have a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: game plan. You want to attack kin Kubiak, who's going
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to do his best for the team. I'm hoping Coop
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: gets some love the first couple drive, just making sure
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: he is active in.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: That opening script.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, feed him, Feed the beast, not the beast.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: He's like a He's a gentle beast. Though you know
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. His play ain't gentle. But you listen
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: to that man talk. He's saying all the right things.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: It's not about me, it's about the team. It's a
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: little bit about you too, and we're gonna make sure
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: that you have a good, good homecoming. You also got
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Rashid last week. Man, I like the way they used
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: him last week. He had twenty one plays and seven
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: snaps on specials. He had a reverse, he got to
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: toss out the backfield. He had a couple of returns
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: as well. No, I like the way. I like the
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: way they used him. I expect a bit more this week,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: and you got it. Jared versus Byron Young on the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: other side for the Rams, Byron Young having himself a
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: great year.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Man. Jared Verso will start off with him. He's a
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowler defensive Rookie of the Year in twenty twenty four.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: He has sixty six tackles, four and a half sacks,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: eleven TFLs eighteen quarterback hits, two passes defendant and two
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: course almost this season, he's continued to play good.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Ball so far.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Man thirty two tackles, four sacks, seven TfL, seventeen quarterback
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: hits in three forced fumbles. He's getting after that quarterback.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: He's outperforming what he did last year as a rookie.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in just nine games, he's a problem.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go to Byron Murphy.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Third year guy, Byron Young.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Byron Young. Sorry, Man, I hear Byron. It's Murphy. Yeah,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: no one, all right, Byron Young.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: People might not know him outside of LA, but he's
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: a good ball player. In nine games he has nine
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: sacks that's fourth in the NFL. Forty five tackles, nine TfL,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: seventeen QB hits, one force fumble. He won the Fitsive
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Player of the Month in September. He can go, he
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: can get after it. So you know, like we expected,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be a challenge in that D line.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously we're excited about the Seahawks tackles. How they're
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: playing a Lucas Charles crossed. The offensive line.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: In general leading the league giving up only ten.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Sacks, but these guys will test that theory because they
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: can after the quarterback.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's a huge matchup. We're gonna tell you how the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Seahawks are going to get it done. Path to victory
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: waits for the staff.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Michael Dixon puts it down. That kick is away.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: If that kick is gone, to say off twin, it's gone.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: It's a path to victory on Hawk Talk.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Looking back through a bump outside of needing to win
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a game to make the playoffs or stay in playoff contention,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: this is easily the biggest regular season game since maybe
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and it's forty nine ers. Honestly, if you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: go back before that, I really think of that Saints
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: matchup in twenty thirteen when you talk about two teams
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: leading the NFC and duking it out and seeing what
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they're really made of. At this point in the season,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: got two seven to two teams battle for first place
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the division, and we know that this is going
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: two factor in big for the playoffs. Whoever lose this
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: game is by no means done. They're gonna play again
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: in a week. I believe it's sixteen. But this game
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is huge, and for me, I mean, get your popcorn
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: ready because you've got an offensive genius on one side,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: a defensive genius on other side, Sean mcmay Mike McDonald
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a chess match all game long.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: If you're a football nerd, this what you dream about.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: This is it, man, the adjustments right the bluffs. What
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: is this game going to look like? And you got
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: to get after Matthew Stafford. He's playing like an MVP.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: He has only been sacked fourteen times at six in
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: the NFL. A defensive line needs to get homes. He's
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: deadly against the blitz, which you pointed out. Man, he
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: is a baller, so if you blitz him, you better
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: get there. Hit him in the back end, gets your
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: spots and then get your eyes around man, keep everything
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: in front of you. Also, because Pukling the cool and
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Davonte Adams are special, they can go off. And then
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Karen Williams is quietly having a solid year. The run
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: game hasn't been hitting the way that you would like
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: it to, but it's comparable to ours, to whereas it's effective.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: And he did have a game going over one hundred
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: last week. So yeah, get after that, young man.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's gonna be it's gonna be special. I'm
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: hoping and I'm hoping the Seahawks, can, you know, set
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the tone down there, because if the Seahawks win this
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: game decisively. The national media figured out about the Seahawks
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, really started paying attention last week. I'm's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: gonna be a circus down here. If the Seahawks can
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: get this done in LA and keep making plays downfield.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Jaysn again, you're the best of the game. Let's figure
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that out. Run the football. The Seahawks had a really
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: good run performance one hundred ninet eight yards last week.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Le's see if they continue doing that. And then last thing,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Sundell's gonna be out olo O, Timmy. He's not
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a stranger Limelight. He's been in the game. He started
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: nine games with the Seahawks before, so I'm not worried
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: about his ability.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: To step in and go right there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: But let's just make sure no procedural mistakes, no fumbles,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: tip passes, interceptions, any of that you take care of
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the football.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: You winning this game.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Seahawks play their style football. They'll be staying at eight
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and two, all alone in first place the NFC West.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: We're hoping that gets done. He's Michael Bumbas on NASA Choby.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll be talking to you about a Seahawks victory
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: at Sofi Stadium in La as the Seahawks take the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: throne of the National Football Conference. We'll see what happens
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: until next time. He's Michael Bumbas some nas Shoby. This
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: has been hop talk
