  Speaker 1: Now here's your host, Nasa Choviie.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Welcome to another edition of Hawk Talk.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: This time we're looking ahead as the Seahawks getting ready
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: to take on the Washington Commanders and try to wash
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: the taste out of our mouth from that game against
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens this last Sunday, get back on the winning track.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: So it's Wednesday. Pete Carroll's flipped the script.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: It's competition Wednesday here at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: So let's flip it ahead to those Washington Commanders. What's
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: on Tap.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: What's Up? Tap?
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Washington is four and five third place in the nfcast.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: They have wins over the Cardinals, Broncos, Falcons, and Patriots,
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: losses to the Bills, Eagles, Bears, Giants, and Eagles again.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Now bump after a two and oh start.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: The Commanders, you know, they had a tough stretch for
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: they lost five of six games, including two actually competitive
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: games against the Eagles, and then they were blown out
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: at Buffalo and then pretty much blown.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Out against the Bears, which is kind of surprising.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: But now they've kind of they stopped the bleeding, if
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: you will, trying to turn the tide well for them
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: as they beat the Patriots twenty to seventeen this past Sunday.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: All right, yeah, and let's talk about that game. But
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: let's get right to the end of the game, right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: They were trailing twenty to seventeen. Late in the fourth
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: New England had a chance, actually trailing the Patriots inched
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: down the field and they converted on a fourth and four.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: They kept their hopes alive. The vibes are good for
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: those guys.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: But two plays later, Mac Jones did what Mac Jones
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: tends to do as of late trying to find Jujus
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: Smith shut, who's been a disappointment over there for the Patriots.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I bet I thought they was gonna get more than
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: what he's been given him trying to find juju. That
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: pass was intercepted by Martin and that pretty much sealed
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: the win for Washington. The Patriots have dropped to two
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: and seven for the first time in Bill Belichick's history
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: there as a head coach. That's going all the way
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: back to two thousand. They're now zero to five non
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: divisional games. The only team in the NFL with I
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: win outside their division. That's wild. And this was the
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: first win for the Commanders in New Orleans is nineteen
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: ninety six? Come on now, goodness gracious man and mac Jones,
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: he's still struggling. He went twenty four to forty four,
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: fifty four percent completion, one touchdown in one interception.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Stevenson the running back for New England.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Let all ball carriers for New Orleans with eighty seven
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: yards oh nine carrieres and one touchdown.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, ninety six like ninety six, Come on now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: I mean fresh Princess on the air Montel Jordan.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: This is how we do it. Just came out. So
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: it's been a minute. It's been a minute. Man.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Well we'll get into some of these matchups in terms
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: of guys on the Commanders, but Brian Robinson Junior had
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: a good day. Terry McLaurin is that dude. So you
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: know a lot of people are looking at this game.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Bump is kind of a get right game, and I hope.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: It is for the Seahawks.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Obviously, this team is not the Baltimore Ravens by any
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: stretch of the imagination, but they're still a good team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: It's a Nation Football League. They're four and five as
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: we get into this head to head matchup. Starting on
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: the offensive side of the ball, Seahawks are twentieth now
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: in the NFL, dropping a little bit, averaging three hundred
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: and eleven yards per game. Running the ball, they're twenty third,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: averaging ninety seven yards per game, drop below the century mark.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: There.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Pass offense there nineteenth in the league at two to
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: fourteen per game, and then points per game they are
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: seventeenth averaging twenty one points per game. On the other side,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: the Commanders are seventeenth in total offense, averaging three hundred
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: and thirty two yards a game. Twenty six against the run,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: averaging ninety yards per game. Ninth, when it comes to
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: the pass offense, two hundred and forty two yards per game,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: So Sam Howise throwing that thing and then points per
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: game in the league averaging twenty one point two points
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: per game. So on paper, other than the pass offense,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: these guys are pretty well evenly matched. Again, I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I would take the Seahawks guys in terms of this
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: roster talent versus the Commanders.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: But they're playing some good football. We got some good
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: dudes offensively.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been on the other Side's talk about the defense.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: The Commanders no longer had Chase Young or Monte Sweat.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: They're twenty eighth overall, given up three to sixty eight
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: a game, the Hawks twenty fifth, giving up three fifty
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: four rush defense, The Commanders are twentieth. The Hawks are
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: twenty first. Pass defense, the Commanders are twenty seventh. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Hawks are twentieth, given up towo thirty two. Then points allowed,
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: the Commanders are thirtieth in the Hawks are twenty second.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: The Commander's given up two seventy two excuse me, twenty
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: seven point two, and the Hawks given up twenty one
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: point nine average time of possession. Hawks have it about
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: twenty six minutes. Commanders thirty. Last week really messed that
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: number up a bit because it felt like the Ravens
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: had the ball the whole game. But they both have
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: six inner sec options as well. On paper, man, this
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: is an evenly matched team. I mean, the numbers aren't
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: too far apart on off his end. Defense, Yeah, no
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: question about it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: And unfortunately for the Seahawks, all of these numbers kind
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: of took a hit after last week, especially bumper.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You talk about defense.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks, we'll talk about this a little bit later,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: one of the best rushing defenses in the league. Unfortunately,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: when two ninety eight gets put up on you, those
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: numbers are inflate a little bit.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: But you mentioned it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: These teams are very close together in terms of statistics.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Hopefully the Seahawks get the edge on the field. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: let's hop back in the way back machine.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Know your history, No, your history.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: Commanders actually lead the all time series thirteen to nine,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: the score six to thirteen in the regular season with
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks, though holding a three to zero advantage in
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the postseason win. It counts the last time these two met.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks lost a heartbreaker on Monday Night football back
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty one, and this was a that was
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: just a tough stretch right now for the Seahawks at
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty one last time these two teams played, because
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: you had Russell Wilson who broke his thumb and then
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: he was rushing to get back. In the first couple
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: games he was back, he was not himself and this
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: offense did not look very good. And this was right
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: in the middle of that. It was a slow game
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: in the first half, as both teams went into halftime
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: tied at nine, and the final two points were actually
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: scored by Seahawks defensive end Rashem Green after an extra
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: point was blocked and he ran that back for a
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: two point conversion, which made the score nine to nine.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Hawks weren't able to get anything going in the second
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: half after Jade Mkishik had a ten year touchdown and
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: that made the score seventeen to nine. Russell Wilson tried
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: to find some of that end of the year magic,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: taking the Seahawks on ten play ninety six yard drive
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: ending in a Freddie Swing touchdown that made the score
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: seventeen to fifteen. Unfortunately, Russell was picked off in the
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: end zone for the two point conversion, and then the
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Seahawks would line up get the on side kick. Everyone's excited,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: they have a chance. They are going to be almost
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: in field goal range. But unfortunately we had to learn
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: the rule book a little bit, all of us because
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: we didn't know what happened. I guess Nick blor Li
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: up in illegal formation.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: You can't be inside the ash. They flagged us.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Obviously, we didn't get the second on side kick and
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: lost that game, and the Seahawks fell to three and eight,
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: and there are kind of postseason hopes were dashed at
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: that point. But that was a dark time. We're not
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: in that dark time anymore. The Seahawks are in a
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: much better place. But it was a rough go for
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: the NFC West last week. What's the word side.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Now? The Seahawks or the NFC West champs again?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: What's the word in the West? On Hawk talk?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Here's what's going on in the NFC West.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: The Seahawks and the San Francisco forty nine ers are
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: locked up at the top of the stament, both five
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: and three. The Rams are three and six and The
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Cardinals are one in eight, but they got Kyler Murray
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: coming back this week, so we'll see how they look.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: The forty nine Ers were on a bye last week.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: They're going to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: But the Rams were active and now they matched up
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: with the Green Bay Packers. Now these are two teams
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: are on the struggle bus is trying to get things right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: The Packers have lost four straight. The Rams lost three
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: in a row, lost four of their last five. But
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: the Packers still got the job done. Twenty to three
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: was the score. But you can point a lot of
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: that to the Rams quarterback situation.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Man, they didn't have Matthew Stafford.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: They did sign Carson Wentz this week we might see him,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: but had our guy Brett Ripping. Is it ripping or riping?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: I always get confused when I read that name. Pretty
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: sure it's ripping, ripping, Yeah, riping, ripping, ripping, All right,
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: that's a better quarterback name anyway. You better ripping Brett Ribbon.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: He made the start. He was thirteen to twenty eight
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: four a buck thirty one interception and one fumble. The
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Rams failed to reach the end zone and adding insult
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: to injury. The Packers started two seventh round picks that corner,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: and they were still able to get it done. Cooper
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: and Pooka Nicole, one of the best one to two
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: combos in the league, were held to five receptions in
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: eighty yards combined. Whereas Freeman was a Rams leading rusher,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: he had thirty two yards on twelve carris not a
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: great day, and he had Green Bay. Jordan Love played
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: all right, he was twenty twenty six eight and one touchdown.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: And Adam Jones was a leading rusher. Yeah, send in
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: three yards for twenty carries. And now Carson Wentz and
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: the Rams. It feels like I've seen him in that
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: jersey already, but I know I haven't. I don't know why.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: This just feels right to me for some reason, that
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Carson Wentz is uh is playing on the Rams now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: When I saw that news come across the ticker, I
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: was kind of like, interesting, Okay, but hey, guess what
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: You do what you gotta do. Stafford's out. But I
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: will say we'd be.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Remiss if we didn't show some love to Brett Rippon,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: because Brett Rippen is actually from Washington. He went to
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Shadle Park and Spokane Bump before going to Boise State.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Was the Washington State Player of the Year twenty fourteen.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Boise State, I said, Now he went to Wazoo too,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: didn't he?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: H Did he spurn there? Okay, a little bit.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I got you, I got you. I stand corrected. Wait, no,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: three time all State. So shout out to Brett Rippins.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Sorry didn't work out there in La, Carson Wentz. So,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: you think he's got anything left? Anything left in the tank.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I mean you can throw the ball, you know. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: don't think.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: I think the arm is still there. It's the reps
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: is a decision making.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: This could be.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Imagine how crazy this story could be if Wentz gets
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: to La and starts balling, finally finds a fountain of
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: youth and does this thing. Chances are it ain't gonna happen,
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: but it'd be a cool little story.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Well if that does happen.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: I hopefully it happens after the Seahawks play the Rams
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: next week after this matchup. But if there was going
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: to be a coach to do it other than Kyle
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Shanahan is probably Sean McVay.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it is man.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: You all that deception and motion and crossing patterns and
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: just look, throw it to the open guy.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Easy game, right, those open guys.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Hey, And when you get to throw the ball the
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Cooper cup and pooking a cool I wouldn't mind that
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: job myself anyway. Let's let's flip it over to the
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: other game in the NFC West, the Cardinals taking on
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: the Browns, and this just rounded out an awful day
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: for the NFC West. Cardinal shut out twenty seven zero
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: to Cleveland Browns Joshua Dobbs, who's now doing his thing
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: in Minnesota.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: So the Cardinals.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: They turned to Clayton Tune, fifth round pick out of
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: the University of Houston, and man, did he have a
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: brutal day in this first start, eleven of twenty fifty
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: eight yards, two picks, sacked seven times.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: And I think he had a fumble in there as well.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: The Cardinals only ran five plays, five of their forty
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: eight plays on the Cleveland side of the field and
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: didn't get deeper than the forty four yard line. Arizona
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: had thirty one yards at halftime, and of the Cardinals
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: six possessions in the first half, it went punt, punt, punt, interception,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: punt punt, So not a good day for them. Deshaun
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Watson came back to the lineup he did okay, nineteen
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: to thirty two nineteen two touchdowns. Mark Cooper also had
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: a pretty good day. Arizona now though is lost six
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: straight in one in eight.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: On the year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I know you mentioned Kyler Murray coming back, but things
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: were not good down there in the desert. But the
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: NFC West last Sunday O and three lost by combined
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: score bump of eighty four to two six.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: I damn in this, gracious, hey, and James Connor might
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: be back too, so you know, maybe that'll help a
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: Z a little bit. But U NFC West struggle last week? Goodness, gracious, Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Let's hope. I mean, I don't mind if the other
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: team struggle.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: As long as the Seahawks are neither part of a
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: graphic like that or a stat like that next week,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I'll be straight.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: But let's get back to the commanders.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Man up, this, man.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Man up.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: On Hawk Talk, we usually start with the quarterbacks, and
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: nothing's gonna be different today.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: We're starting with Sam Howell.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Take it on the Seahawks defense and For those who
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: don't know a lot about Sam Howe, I'll learn you
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: up a little bit here. Sam Howells in his first
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: year as a starter for the Commanders. He was drafted
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: in the fifth round in twenty twenty two, although hearing
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: from different sources in the Commander's front office. Apparently some
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: people said they would have targeted him in the second
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: or third round had they not traded for Carson Wentz
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: that offseason. He was a three year starter at North Carolina,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: and his junior season he went nuts. He had throw
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: over three thousand yards twenty four touchdowns allfu ran for
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: eight hundred and twenty eight yards and eleven touchdowns. Finished
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: his college career with really gotty ridiculous stats ten thousand yards,
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: one hundred nine touchdowns. But when he started last year,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: he was the number three quarterback behind Wentz and Taylor Heinike.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Then Wentz broke his finger, Howe got elevated to the
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: backup when Taylor Heineke came into the game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: He stayed that way till week fifteen.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Then Washington got eliminated from the playoffs a couple of
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: weeks later, and then you know, Ron Rivera and those
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: guys will want to see what they had with Sam Howe,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: they put him in the lineup. They get a win
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: over the Cowboys twenty six to six. He played well
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: eleven of nineteen, one hundred and sixty nine yards, one touchdown,
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: one pick, also ran for a score. So then he
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: fast forward the offseason. Heinike signs with the Falcons, Carson
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Wentz gets cut. Then Hal gets into a battle with
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett in the preseason. He wins that battle. It's
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: actually playing some pretty good football. Bump last two games
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: he's gone over three hundred yards. In a tough loss
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: to Philly, he had three hundred ninety seven yards, four
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: touchdowns and one pick. So on the year, he leads
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: the National Football League in passing yards at two thousand
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: and four hundred and seventy one. He's got fourteen touchdowns
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: and nine interceptions. Also a little lusive on the ground
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: twenty nine carries one hundred and fifty seven yards in
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: a touchdown, So he leads second in the league in passing,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: but also leads the league in interceptions. And it's been
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: sacked bumped forty four times this year.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Doug dang forty four the things what was fifty something
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: was was Russell's high last year. He almost there already
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: they got to protect this dude, and watching film he
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: could play at first. All was when I heard the
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: organization say this is our guy for the future. I'm aye,
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: we'll see. I turn on the film and I go,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: second year guy. The way they use him, I could
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: see him develop and I think he's going to be
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: the minimal standard of the quarterback can do because nowadays,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: as a quarterback you got to be able to run
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: even just a little bit. Now that's what what how
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: it can do? He run more than just a little bit.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: But I'm looking at him and I go, he might
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: be okay in this league. But let's not hope he
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: gets it right, even even more right this week.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But it ain't gonna be easy.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: I think people see Commanders and see him Howe and
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: think that it's just going to be a wash. But nah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: I don't think. So let's talk about our quarterback. Though
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: we got Geno smith Man. It was a tough one
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: against the Ravens.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: For sure. He was under pressure a lot.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: It was pressured on forty nine percent of the passes
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: that he threw, which is his second highest of the year.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: I believe he finished thirteen to twenty eight to fifty seven,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: zero touchdowns, one interception.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: And a fumble.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: We got to knock out those those turnovers man, as
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: he has following previous losses. Quarterback Geno Smith was quick
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: to say, look, it's all on me. It's all on me,
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: and that's all like about Geno. Man, it's that he's
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: gonna save the right things. But then Carol comes back
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: and says, look, I don't think it's.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: All on Gino.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: It's about our football team, not answering the here we
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: cann't get it done, which is true. It was not
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: just Gino. Office in line struggled with the Blitz. Receivers
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: weren't getting it open. You know, there are some things
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: that everybody could do. Play callin could have been a
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: bit different. It's a team sports, so I love that Gino.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, excuse me. Carol came back and said, look, man,
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: it's not on him. He says, we struggled across the
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: board on offense. Everybody has some difficulty in this game.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: It just added up to where the quarterback is in
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: the middle of that as well.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Curl sip and.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: The quarterback is going to get the ball to the blade, right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: He touched the football every single play. So I think
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: Geno understands that. Carol understands that he comes out and says, look,
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: get off my boy. He gonna be okay, all right.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: So the reason why people all up in arms about
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Geno's because last year they see a underdog hit the
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: seam and perform at a high level. So at this
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: time last year, he had nineteen hundred yards, thirteen touchdowns,
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: three interceptions, and it's been sacked nineteen times. So far
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: this year he's about one hundred and twenty off of
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: that pace, with yards are eighteen hundred, nine touchdowns instead
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: of thirteen, and seven interceptions instead of three, eighteen sacks
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: instead of one. So obviously there are some some differences there.
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: But I also think that he's dealing with an offensive
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: line that hasn't been healthy and you played a hot team.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Like if you win this game, or even if you
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: lose this game and you just put up a fight,
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: I think people feel different about Geno. But people are
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: quick to one replace dudes, and I don't understand that
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: because this is the guy who needs twenty six completions
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: to pass. Kidtinga for six place on Sales all time
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: completion list. He needs six touchdown passes to pass Kidnam
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: on fifth place when it comes to all time touchdowns list.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: This year, he's completing sixty five percent of his passes.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying, not making excuses, but you gotta people
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: got to realize that the neck bonus connected.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: To the.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Bone, the cranium.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm getting here, man, Like, everything's connected.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: It's not just Geno. Can he play better for Shop?
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: He can play better, but uh, come on, man, help
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: him out. I mean, when Pete talked this week, he
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: couldn't even believe it. In the postgame press confidences, people
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: are like, wait, are you alluding that there's a quarterback
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: controversy here?
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: What what are you talking about? And I feel the
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: same way. Listen, would you like some of the turnovers back?
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Of course, is a quarterback always going to get more
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: blame than they deserve and more accredited times?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but Gino literally set every quarterback record in this
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: franchise last year. People forget that all the great years
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Russell had, Gino had the best statistical season a quarterback
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: has ever had here last year. And I mean again,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I think people just kind of forget, and it's important.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: It's context. You face the top two defenses in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: NFL back to back weeks. I mean, that's part of
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the story. Can the Seahawks play better, of course, but
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: I think people needed and that's not even that's not
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: a slight a Drew Lock either. Drew Lock can play
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: as well. But this is Gino's team. He's proven that
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: it's a little bit of a rough patch, but he'll
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: be all right.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: And then the same, playoff teams don't change quarterbacks midseason,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: don't You don't do that. This is a playoff team, right,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: So they took an l like relaxed folks in this grace,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Come on, man.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: And also we'll see what happens this week. And I
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: think Gina's gonna play a lot better. When you look
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: at the defense, we kind of broke it down earlier.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Their twenty eighth in total defense, twenty seventh against the pass,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: thirtieth in points allowed, in their twelfth in sacks, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: they don't have their top two dudes on defense. There's
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: no Chase Young, there's no Montes Sweat. Those boys are
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: out of there. So I'm thinking it's gonna be a
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: much better favorable matchup for the Seahawks. So I'm looking
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: forward to that. Gino's gonna bounce back. Come on, baby, everyone, chill, Seattle,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: get behind your man. Number seven is the guy for
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: us right now. Look at another matchup. Scary Terry they
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: call him, I guess I don't know. Terry McLaurin. Take
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: it on the Seahawks secondary and he's he's an elite receiver.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Bump.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: He got paid.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I believe it was going into last season off his
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: rookie deal. He's had three straight one thousand yard seasons,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: looking to become the first Commanders player to ever have
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: four consecutive one thousand yard seasons, one hundred and fifty
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: one yards away from five thousand in his career. He
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: was All Rookie in twenty nineteen and was finally made
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: the Pro Bowl last season. And this is what's really impressive, Bump.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: I looked at it and I'm just like, wow, he
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Here are all the different starting quarterbacks that have thrown
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: him a ball since he's been in Washington. Case Keenum,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Dwayne Haskins, rp Alex Smith, Taylor Heinek, Kyle Allen, Colt McCoy,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Garrett Gilbert, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Carson Wentz, Sam Howell, and you're.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: The pro bols on that list. Carson Wentz was a
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: pro bowler once, right, not in Washington once. Not in Washington.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not in Washington when he was Sam fran right,
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: So I mean yeah, So the fact that he's still
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: put up numbers with all those different characters throwing in
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: the football is really just, you know, a testament to him.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: And he's also super durable. He's only missed three games
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: in five years. He's got five hundred and sixty eight yards,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: two touchdowns, nine catches over twenty plus yards. So Seahawk Secondary,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: they're gonna they're gonna have to work cut.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Out for a.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, he's a baller and he's got some help too.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: I really like dots and two out of the kid
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: out of Penn State. He has thirty four receptions for
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: three sixty and three, Teddy Curtis Samuels having a decent season,
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: two thirty five reception three thirty three and two. And
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: then Logan Thomas, they excuse me, the tight end has
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: thirty three receptions for three eleven and three touchdowns. So yeah, Man,
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Devin with aspoon must go. He's six in the NFL.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: When it comes to pass the defendeds bump that thing
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: up and you can't sleep on these dudes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: But I think a fan favorite.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Brian Robinson Junior, the running back for the Commanders, is
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: somebody you should know if you don't if you don't
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: know his story man. At the end of twenty twenty
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: two preseason, he was shot multiple times during an attempted
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: carjacking gone bad. After surgery, Robinson was back on the
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: field six weeks later, and during pregame introductions he was
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: announced to fifty cents many amen, And if you don't know,
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: go listen to that song. Imagine being shot multiple times
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: and coming back to that song running out the tunnel,
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Dennis Gracious, it'll give you chills all day. On this year,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: he's got one hundred and thirteen carriers for four to
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: forty seven touchdowns, fourteen receptions for one hundred and thirty
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: seven yards two touchdowns. His seven total touchdowns is the
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: most on the team now. Defensively, the Seahawks were among
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: the league's best when it comes to stop and the run.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Going into the Ravens game, the Hawks were only allowing
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: three point five to seven per carry, was third in
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: the NFL, but the Seahawks allowed two ninety eight against
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: the Ravens. Thank you Ravens for taking the knee towards
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the end of the game, or you have three hundred
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: up there. So now they've dropped to nineteen four point
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: two per carry and then their twenty first NFL allowing
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty two yards per game on the ground.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: So it's time to get back to what you do. Robinson.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Great story. I'm glad you're with this playing football, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: it's trying to lock him down.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, no question about it. I love that story. Like
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Bump said, look it up, Google it. It's a great
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: story and just to be in that moment. So props
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: up to him. But again not this week, Bump, because man,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks were too good at stopping the run. And
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: maybe you can call me home or I'm making excuses, whatnot.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: You're not going to play an offense that has Lamar
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: Jackson a quarterback. Everything the Seahawks saw last week you're
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: not gonna see this week. The defense played well up
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: until about midway through the third quarter before the wheels
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: fell off and they got a lot of that yarded
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: so they're gonna bounce back. But right now we're gonna
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: tell you exactly how they're gonna get this win.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: At the victory after forty five waits for the snat,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Michael Dixon puts it down.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: That kick is away.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: If that kick is gone, good, stay off.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: When it's gone, it's a pass to victory. On Hawk Talk.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Leave it in the past. Bump is gone, and it's gone.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: There's one thing Pete Carroll does is he turns the page.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Once it's Wednesday. Everyone tells the truth.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: On Monday.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: People can take an off day and now you're into
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: the next week. So what happened against the Ravens is
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: completely gone. Leave it there and just change it up.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Start fast on offense and stay on the field. Six
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: first downs one to twelve on first down or excuse me,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: on third downs is not gonna be enough for this team.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: And Gino needs some time, Bump, he needs some time.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: He was under pressure. He's been under pressure for a
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks. Now just do what you guys do.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Give them some time and if you can stay on
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: the field, extend possessions. Even if it's a field position game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: You just can't be three and out, three and out,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: three and out.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man and receivers. You saw man defense against the
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: Cleveland Browns. You saw some man against the Ravens. You
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: gotta shake loose, get open, let's get it, and then
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: be able to run the football. The Hawks had fifteen
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: carries for twenty eight yards. I don't like those numbers.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: And then, most importantly, take care of the football. The
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: last couple of weeks, we've seen a lot of turnovers.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: You don't want to give these guys hope when the
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: Commander's come into town.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: No question about it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Man, And we're good at home this year, Bump, And
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: that's a weird thing to have to proclaim out loud.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: It's just been there's been a little bit of a
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: trend where Seahawks hadn't won as many games at Loominfield
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: as they had in yours pass. They're bond right now
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: this year. They're three to one in twenty twenty three,
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: so let's keep that ruin. This should be a good
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: right game for the Seahawks. I believe it can be.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: Hopefully we'll be talking to you next Monday talking about
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: a Seahawks victory. Reminder, you can catch us everywhere Seahawks
