0:04
Speaker 1: Michael Bumpus.

Speaker 2: Playfake, go to roll right, dumps it off into the
0:07
Speaker 2: right flaff to Michael Bumpers, who bounces off a one
0:10
Speaker 2: tackler gets inside the forty down of the thirty five
0:13
Speaker 2: yard line.

0:15
Speaker 2: Matt pumpfake's looking at the goal line, he throws it
0:17
Speaker 2: into the end zone touchdown.
0:19
Speaker 3: See Hawks.
0:20
Speaker 4: It's Michael Bumps with a diving catching the end zone
0:23
Speaker 4: on ten yard touchdown reception for Bumpers, and the kid
0:27
Speaker 4: out of Washington State has found himself a place.
0:30
Speaker 5: On this team.
0:31
Speaker 1: Now here's your host, NASA Jobie.
0:35
Speaker 5: Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk.
0:37
Speaker 6: The Seahawks fall to the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty two twenty
0:40
Speaker 6: three at home in Looingfield last Sunday. The Seahawks now
0:43
Speaker 6: do not control their own destiny. Who comes to the playoffs.
0:46
Speaker 6: With the playoffs are still alive. They can get there
0:48
Speaker 6: by winning in Arizona and having the Packers lose to
0:51
Speaker 6: the Bears this weekend, similar to how twenty twenty two
0:55
Speaker 6: season ended. But let's jump right into that Steelers matchup,
0:58
Speaker 6: and let's talk to a guy that knows a little
1:00
Speaker 6: bit about a lot of bit up from Big Ray
1:03
Speaker 6: Roberts in the trenches.
1:06
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawks
1:10
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts.
1:12
Speaker 5: Big Ray Man.
1:13
Speaker 6: It was disappointing obviously for the Seahawks coming into the game,
1:16
Speaker 6: controlling your own destiny and then not having it pan
1:19
Speaker 6: out when you looked at the film, when you sat
1:21
Speaker 6: there in the stands, you watch it all. What was
1:23
Speaker 6: the number one thing that stood out to you with
1:25
Speaker 6: the Seahawks performance on Sunday.
1:28
Speaker 3: Uh, Probably the number one thing to me is that.
1:30
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm sure the Seahawks and the Fantas
1:34
Speaker 3: don't want to hear it, but there's one thing to
1:36
Speaker 3: talk about being a tough, physical team, and it's another
1:39
Speaker 3: thing to actually be that team. And so, like you know,
1:42
Speaker 3: a coach with Luke Currett when we're at analy and
1:45
Speaker 3: not saying that we're like the world's greatest coaches, but
1:47
Speaker 3: you always had to say and don't talk about it,
1:49
Speaker 3: be about it and uh, and I feel like too
1:52
Speaker 3: much this season the Seas have gotten caught up in
1:55
Speaker 3: trying to figure out who the identity is and who
1:57
Speaker 3: they're going to show up as and then and the
2:00
Speaker 3: and the moments they need to show up as the
2:01
Speaker 3: people they think they are. The other team does it
2:05
Speaker 3: better than they do. And so when you look at
2:07
Speaker 3: the trenches, then the Steelers offensive line just really dominated
2:12
Speaker 3: the trenches. And it was a combination of that and
2:14
Speaker 3: the way the dudes ran the ball. They ran the
2:17
Speaker 3: ball as if they knew that they were going to
2:19
Speaker 3: run through tackles, they knew they were going to break tackles,
2:21
Speaker 3: they knew that this team is not the best tackling
2:24
Speaker 3: team in the league, and they ran that way, and
2:27
Speaker 3: it showed that way on defense, and then you know,
2:29
Speaker 3: on offense, it just seems like just couldn't really get anything,
2:32
Speaker 3: get anything going. Like the running game showed a little bit,
2:35
Speaker 3: the passing game showed a little bit, we're in it
2:37
Speaker 3: for a little while, and then they would kind of
2:39
Speaker 3: extend the lead to control the ball with the running game.
2:41
Speaker 3: So just a real tough way to kind of come
2:45
Speaker 3: down to stretch here and when you really really need
2:48
Speaker 3: those wins.
2:49
Speaker 7: Ray, we saw Evan Brown lead the game with a concussion.
2:51
Speaker 7: Abe also left the game. What did you see from
2:55
Speaker 7: that offensive line before they went out and then after
2:57
Speaker 7: they went.
2:57
Speaker 3: Out well, I think they had a chance, as Mike
3:00
Speaker 3: to run the ball well. Canaan had a couple of
3:03
Speaker 3: good runs, but then the score kept getting away from him,
3:07
Speaker 3: or or penalties or negative plays would kind of get.
3:10
Speaker 1: In a way.
3:11
Speaker 3: I think when you know, when everyoneent down and Olu
3:14
Speaker 3: came in, I thought Olu played well. He had the
3:16
Speaker 3: one tough snap on kind of like the trick play
3:19
Speaker 3: that they tried to do backed up close to the
3:21
Speaker 3: end zone, which to me, it was a second drive
3:23
Speaker 3: in hasn't played in games and weeks and you kind
3:26
Speaker 3: of throw a trick play snap kind of thing at him.
3:29
Speaker 3: I think that was a little unfair for a friend
3:32
Speaker 3: to be put in that situation. And I thought that
3:34
Speaker 3: Stone Forsyths came in and did an okay job. You know,
3:36
Speaker 3: they helped him out a lot. He was manned up
3:39
Speaker 3: a few times, but I think for him being a backup,
3:43
Speaker 3: he came in and did well. It's just that the
3:44
Speaker 3: offense has never seemed to really click. And to me, Mike,
3:49
Speaker 3: that's kind of how the whole team is. Like the
3:52
Speaker 3: whole season, there's been spurts, so there's been moments in
3:55
Speaker 3: games or a particular part of a game where there's
3:58
Speaker 3: complimentary football, where the defense is kind complement in the offense,
4:00
Speaker 3: where the pass rushes complimenting the pass defense, where the
4:04
Speaker 3: linebacker field is complimenting the gap, control the what the
4:08
Speaker 3: defensive line and running the ball, where the offensive line
4:11
Speaker 3: is creating space for the for the running backs to
4:13
Speaker 3: run and protecting gnos so you can push the ball
4:16
Speaker 3: down a field. There's been very few times when all
4:18
Speaker 3: of those teams have complimented each other. Not that every
4:21
Speaker 3: team that wins does that on a consistent basis, but
4:24
Speaker 3: for this team to win, they have to play that
4:26
Speaker 3: way more times than not. They just haven't been able
4:28
Speaker 3: to do that.
4:30
Speaker 6: When you talk about the running game and playing complimentary football.
4:34
Speaker 6: Ken was ten ten carries for fifty three yards. He
4:37
Speaker 6: had a little banged up shoulder. Charmony did okay as well.
4:41
Speaker 6: Why do you think, specifically when it comes to the
4:43
Speaker 6: run game that the Seahawks haven't been able to get
4:46
Speaker 6: over the hump?
4:46
Speaker 5: They've been close.
4:47
Speaker 6: You talked about in spurts during that Steelers game where
4:50
Speaker 6: they Ken has a great run or Charbonny does something great,
4:52
Speaker 6: but why can't they get over the hump?
4:54
Speaker 3: You think in the run game, well, I think the
4:57
Speaker 3: one thing that's hard is that you know, you think
4:59
Speaker 3: about you know, Kenneth Walker is definitely a weapon. Charboneze
5:03
Speaker 3: is a good piece to have. But you look at
5:05
Speaker 3: the receiving corps. You have three really dynamic receivers, and
5:09
Speaker 3: then you have a fourth and you know, Bobo has
5:11
Speaker 3: his own little uniqueness to what he does, and then
5:13
Speaker 3: you have three tight ends that can catch the ball
5:15
Speaker 3: and be a threat. So it becomes hard I would
5:18
Speaker 3: imagine as an offensive coordinator to go like, Okay, we're
5:21
Speaker 3: going to like not necessarily turn our back on these
5:24
Speaker 3: on that part of our team, but we're going to
5:26
Speaker 3: focus on, you know, our one running back that is
5:28
Speaker 3: that is really good and then and then maybe take
5:31
Speaker 3: some froze out of the hands of some of these receivers.
5:33
Speaker 3: So I think sometimes that's where where they kind of
5:37
Speaker 3: slip up, because there's no reason why this offensive line,
5:42
Speaker 3: even with the shuffling that they've had, when they are
5:44
Speaker 3: on and they're able to run the ball and they're
5:46
Speaker 3: getting up to the second level, uh, they run blocked
5:49
Speaker 3: very very well, and they just haven't had a chance
5:51
Speaker 3: to really do it because either the score gets out
5:55
Speaker 3: of hand or like I said, the negative plays put
5:57
Speaker 3: you in second and thirdy long and it's really hard
5:59
Speaker 3: to they call running plays in that situation. But for
6:03
Speaker 3: this offense to work at its best, it has to
6:06
Speaker 3: have an efficient running game to go with the passing game.
6:08
Speaker 3: And they just haven't been connected as well or word
6:12
Speaker 3: I use back in the day, they haven't been married
6:15
Speaker 3: very well this year on a consistent basis for the
6:18
Speaker 3: offense to be deadly that way.
6:21
Speaker 7: Big Gray, what did you think about Geno's performance? Two
6:24
Speaker 7: hundred ninety yards through the air, thirty plus on the ground,
6:27
Speaker 7: three hundred yards of total offense.
6:29
Speaker 8: What are your thoughts there?
6:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think Gino is like a lot
6:34
Speaker 3: of people have said, he is who he is, you know,
6:36
Speaker 3: and he's a type of guy where I think like
6:39
Speaker 3: that type of game is kind of what he brings
6:41
Speaker 3: to the table. Now, if you could have added like
6:43
Speaker 3: another fifty or sixty yards from the running back group
6:47
Speaker 3: rushing the ball, I think it would have made it.
6:49
Speaker 3: It would have opened it up for a couple more throws,
6:51
Speaker 3: you know, for a couple more deep balls for DK
6:55
Speaker 3: maybe or Jackson Smith and Jig. But those numbers would
6:58
Speaker 3: have been better. But I really do think in order
7:00
Speaker 3: for Gino to be a quarterback that can carry the
7:03
Speaker 3: team or be part of the team's success on offense, Man,
7:07
Speaker 3: you got to have you have to have all three
7:09
Speaker 3: of those phases work, and you got to have the
7:11
Speaker 3: run game going, you got to have the passing game going,
7:13
Speaker 3: and you have to have a quarterback this plan efficient football.
7:16
Speaker 3: And so I think in this situation, I think you
7:18
Speaker 3: had two of the three. So the running game didn't
7:20
Speaker 3: quite make it, but the other two did, and so
7:23
Speaker 3: that user means it's going to be a tight game
7:24
Speaker 3: for the Seahawks.
7:27
Speaker 8: Ray.
7:27
Speaker 6: You know me, I try to speak things into existence.
7:30
Speaker 6: I missed a positive part of my job. But here's
7:33
Speaker 6: what I want. But going into this weekend Ray against Arizona,
7:37
Speaker 6: the Seahawks can still get into the playoffs.
7:41
Speaker 5: How can they rally? How do they make this happen?
7:43
Speaker 6: What do you want to see against them versus team
7:45
Speaker 6: who quite frankly just went down to Philadelphia and beat
7:48
Speaker 6: a good Eagles team.
7:49
Speaker 5: So what can see? What do you want to see
7:51
Speaker 5: from the Seahawks this weekend so they can get in
7:52
Speaker 5: the playoffs.
7:54
Speaker 3: I said this a few weeks ago, but man, I
7:56
Speaker 3: want to see a sense of urgency like or desperation
8:00
Speaker 3: and almost and not desperation where you're out of control
8:02
Speaker 3: and you're you're doing things, but like, uh, you know,
8:05
Speaker 3: guys rallying to the tackle, Like there's not just one
8:07
Speaker 3: dude or two dudes making the tackle, but there's four
8:09
Speaker 3: or five guys making the tackle. When we're running the
8:12
Speaker 3: ball and the running back is struggling for yards, I
8:14
Speaker 3: want to see the offensive line pushing like everyone else pushes,
8:17
Speaker 3: you know, like, because at this point, trying to establish
8:21
Speaker 3: an identity is is just too late for that. It's
8:23
Speaker 3: it's too late to say, hey we're going to establish
8:26
Speaker 3: identity and be physical. It's too late to say hey
8:27
Speaker 3: we're going to establish identity and be a run first team.
8:31
Speaker 3: Right now, the only identity you have is win and
8:34
Speaker 3: and so and that almost at almost any call. So
8:37
Speaker 3: you have to be willing to few caution to the
8:39
Speaker 3: win as a player and just go ball out to
8:42
Speaker 3: get the win to give yourself a chance to get
8:44
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. And so that sense of urgency, in
8:46
Speaker 3: that sense of desperation. That was a run where Bobby
8:49
Speaker 3: Wagner was being blocked and trying to make the tackle
8:52
Speaker 3: at the same time on Naja Harris down near the
8:55
Speaker 3: gold line, and the whole Pittsburgh Sealer offensive line was
8:59
Speaker 3: pushing and I'm going to see all players were kind
9:01
Speaker 3: of coming in trying to do but there was a
9:02
Speaker 3: few of them that were kind of getting out of
9:04
Speaker 3: the way to power. It's like, no, like hit the pal,
9:06
Speaker 3: pill someone off the pal Like, I don't care if
9:08
Speaker 3: you get a penalty picking them off the pow, but
9:10
Speaker 3: don't let them win the physicality game. And then and
9:14
Speaker 3: it seems like they're kind of, you know, you know,
9:17
Speaker 3: packing your season up, you know, for this year by
9:20
Speaker 3: being more physical and playing a little tougher than you
9:22
Speaker 3: So that's what I want to see. It's not even
9:24
Speaker 3: like about how many yards you throw for how many
9:27
Speaker 3: times we rush the ball, or how many sacks we
9:29
Speaker 3: get or how many turns we get. Man, play like
9:32
Speaker 3: your life depends on getting this win. And then I
9:35
Speaker 3: think that will help this team put themselves in a position.
9:39
Speaker 6: Love to see it. Ray, That's exactly what we want
9:41
Speaker 6: to see on Sunday. I'm fired up. I can't wait
9:42
Speaker 6: to get there. So hopefully, you know, get in the
9:44
Speaker 6: playoffs and keep this thing going in a nice little
9:47
Speaker 6: family road trip down to Dallas.
9:48
Speaker 5: Big Ray, We appreciate you. Thanks dropping on.
9:51
Speaker 8: Thanks.
9:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep it up with at the manifestation there uh
9:54
Speaker 3: NASA and we'll get this win and we'll be rolled
9:56
Speaker 3: down in Dallas.
9:57
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, thanks very talking to you. Soon get her
10:01
Speaker 5: all right?
10:01
Speaker 6: All right, that's a big great Ray Roberts giving us
10:04
Speaker 6: a little knowledge on this Tuesday.
10:06
Speaker 5: But let's get back into the game. What had happened?
10:08
Speaker 5: See what happened at first?
10:10
Speaker 1: What happened? What happened was what had happened was unhawked talk.
10:16
Speaker 6: Well, not the game we expected to see bump coming
10:18
Speaker 6: into this with the Steelers coming in the game with
10:21
Speaker 6: Mason Rudolph as a backup quarterback and the season on
10:24
Speaker 6: the line for both teams. On the opening possession, the
10:26
Speaker 6: Steelers moved the ball a little bit, but the Seahawks
10:29
Speaker 6: held strong, forced a turnover on downs after eight plays
10:31
Speaker 6: thirty four yards when Riek Wohland broke up a pass
10:34
Speaker 6: intended for George Pickens from Mason Rudolph on fourth and five.
10:38
Speaker 6: So that was a good start to see defensively, you know,
10:40
Speaker 6: especially after Pickens had such a big game the week before. Unfortunately,
10:44
Speaker 6: the Seahawks would go three and out on their first
10:46
Speaker 6: possession and didn't feel like they had the ball again
10:49
Speaker 6: for a really long time. That's because the Steelers would
10:51
Speaker 6: respond with a very impressive drive fourteen plays eighty yards,
10:56
Speaker 6: ending with an eighteen yard touchdown run from Jalen Warren,
10:59
Speaker 6: making the score seven zero.
11:01
Speaker 5: Not to start you would hope for butup.
11:04
Speaker 8: No, But then the Hawks will respond.
11:05
Speaker 7: They put together a nice little drive seven plays, seventy
11:08
Speaker 7: five yards. You got Ken Walker scoring from thirteen yards out.
11:11
Speaker 7: That made the score seven to seven. Steelers would kick
11:13
Speaker 7: a field go on the next possession, but the Hawks
11:15
Speaker 7: will respawn again with another solid drive to one a
11:17
Speaker 7: plays seventy five yards, twelve yard touchdown at Jason, You're
11:20
Speaker 7: feeling good about this team. Round now the Hawks are
11:23
Speaker 7: of fourteen to zero. Steelers they come right back. They
11:25
Speaker 7: go seventy five yards anyway, a Najie Harris touchdown. Both
11:28
Speaker 7: teams went in at halftime with the Steelers up seventeen
11:32
Speaker 7: till fourteen.
11:34
Speaker 8: Then what happened then?
11:36
Speaker 6: Well, I was hoping for it come out of halftime
11:38
Speaker 6: that the Seahawks were right there. They're executing offensively. They
11:41
Speaker 6: scored on three of the four possessions they had, so
11:44
Speaker 6: I was hoping for, you know, a really big dominant performance.
11:47
Speaker 6: The Seahawks would move the ball in that opening possession,
11:49
Speaker 6: but they would have to settle for a field goal
11:51
Speaker 6: that type the score up. But again, the Steelers march
11:55
Speaker 6: right down the field, going six plays seventy one yards
11:58
Speaker 6: any with the Naje Hairs touchdown making to score twenty
12:00
Speaker 6: four to seventeen. After a couple punts, both teams would
12:03
Speaker 6: trade field goals and the Seahawks would get the ball
12:06
Speaker 6: back down twenty seven. Twenty is kind of when you
12:09
Speaker 6: feel like it was winning time for the Seahawks. We've
12:11
Speaker 6: seen Geno Smith do it so many times this year. Unfortunately,
12:14
Speaker 6: Gino on the first play was hit from behind and
12:16
Speaker 6: funneled the ball with the Steelers recovering on the sixteen
12:19
Speaker 6: yard line bump, and.
12:20
Speaker 5: That kind of was also.
12:21
Speaker 6: She wrote, the Seahawks try to make it interesting late,
12:23
Speaker 6: we're not able to recover the on side kicking and
12:25
Speaker 6: lost the game there.
12:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, Man, Steelers outgained the Seahawks four hundred and sixty
12:30
Speaker 7: eight yards to three hundred and sixty nine. They outrest
12:33
Speaker 7: the Hawks twenty and two yards to eighty eight, and
12:35
Speaker 7: they handled the time of possession thirty seven minutes to
12:39
Speaker 7: twenty two. I'm very disappointed, man. You felt like you
12:43
Speaker 7: just got pushed around out there. The Steelers came in
12:45
Speaker 7: with a game plan, they executed it. The Hawks just
12:47
Speaker 7: weren't able to connect an offensive and defensive possession together.
12:52
Speaker 8: Late in the game.
12:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's h Ray mentioned it.
12:56
Speaker 6: It's about kind of all phases of the game playing together,
12:59
Speaker 6: being married as one, and that's kind of been an
13:01
Speaker 6: achilles shial for the Seahawks. When the Seahawks defense is
13:03
Speaker 6: playing well, the offense is struggling to the ball and
13:05
Speaker 6: kind of vice versas. So hopefully the Seahawks can get
13:07
Speaker 6: that figured out this weekend in Arizona.
13:09
Speaker 5: But there were some guys that made some plays. Playmakers, touchdown.
13:16
Speaker 1: Playmakers.
13:21
Speaker 5: Holy We'll start with Gino Smith and it was pretty encouraging.
13:27
Speaker 2: Bump.
13:27
Speaker 6: This is one of the best games I think he
13:28
Speaker 6: played all season. Twenty three to thirty three, two and
13:31
Speaker 6: ninety yards, two touchdowns or too me, one touchdown, three
13:35
Speaker 6: carries for thirty three yards and for me, Bump, he
13:39
Speaker 6: just moved so well in the pocket. There was a
13:40
Speaker 6: couple of plays. There's one play there where the Seahawks
13:42
Speaker 6: averted on a third down where TJ. Watt is in
13:45
Speaker 6: the backfield. He slides us the side steps up and
13:48
Speaker 6: just the way he was moving in the pocket handling
13:50
Speaker 6: the football, I thought he played lights out football. I
13:53
Speaker 6: thought this was one of his better games just from
13:55
Speaker 6: not necessarily statistical standpoint, but just pocket presence and feel
13:58
Speaker 6: and keeping the Seahawks in the game.
14:00
Speaker 5: So hopefully he can continue that next week.
14:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, he looked good.
14:03
Speaker 7: Man also had a nice twenty five yard a run
14:06
Speaker 7: Man from one side line to the other sideline. Put
14:08
Speaker 7: on the burners. Yeah, I think Geno Smith paid played
14:11
Speaker 7: well enough for this team to win. But like Big
14:12
Speaker 7: Gray said, you needed some help. DK had five receptions
14:16
Speaker 7: for one hundred and six yards. Now has back to
14:18
Speaker 7: back a thousand yard seasons and his third overall. This
14:22
Speaker 7: was the third time he went for over one hundred
14:24
Speaker 7: yards any game this season. You mentioned Gino moving in
14:27
Speaker 7: the pocket. There's a nice thirty four yard game he
14:29
Speaker 7: found DK after for avoiding TJ Watt. Yeah, Man, DK
14:33
Speaker 7: has been quietly ending the season on a high note. Man,
14:35
Speaker 7: and that's what you expect from your number one receiver.
14:38
Speaker 7: He's looking more comfortable catching the ball. He's mastered the slant.
14:42
Speaker 7: DK once again puts a good game together.
14:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, no question about.
14:45
Speaker 6: DK has been absolutely clutched whenever the Seahawks have needed
14:48
Speaker 6: to have a big play, a big catch all season long.
14:50
Speaker 6: He's done it when it was the Commander's game, the
14:52
Speaker 6: Eagles game, even down in LA, the game they lost.
14:55
Speaker 6: DK has definitely been there in clutch moments. Staying on offense,
14:58
Speaker 6: ken Walker ten Ca He's fifty three yards, one touchdown,
15:02
Speaker 6: also three receptions for twenty two yards. He was playing well,
15:05
Speaker 6: just didn't really get enough touches. That's kind of how
15:07
Speaker 6: the game played out. And we've kind of seen that,
15:09
Speaker 6: unfortunately happen a couple times this year. But I'm hoping
15:12
Speaker 6: ken Walker, who did will get into this on our
15:14
Speaker 6: preview podcast. But ken Walker's only gone over one hundred
15:17
Speaker 6: yards in one game and that was against the Arizona
15:19
Speaker 6: Cardinals and I believe Week seven, so hopefully see a
15:22
Speaker 6: little bit more of that from him on Sunday.
15:26
Speaker 7: YEP, Devin Bush had himself a day used to play
15:28
Speaker 7: for the Steelers, got drafted tenth overall by these guys.
15:30
Speaker 7: He had seventeen tackles, five soul and one TfL. Man
15:34
Speaker 7: he played well, might not have won against the Steelers,
15:38
Speaker 7: but his Michigan Wolverines are in the National Championship, so
15:42
Speaker 7: I guess he's got something to smile about. But nice
15:44
Speaker 7: seeing Devin Bush fill in for Jordan Brooks and I
15:47
Speaker 7: make a whole bunch of players out there.
15:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't imagine what that would be like playing
15:52
Speaker 6: for a team that moved on from you. And he
15:54
Speaker 6: played inspired. He was out there sticking his neck in there,
15:56
Speaker 6: and seventeen tackles is a pretty nice stat line. It's
15:59
Speaker 6: a career high for him to see there. And then
16:01
Speaker 6: our guy Leo Man, he was very active on defense.
16:04
Speaker 6: Six tackles, three solo, one sack, one TfL, two QB hits.
16:08
Speaker 6: He's been consistent, you know, pretty much every game he's
16:10
Speaker 6: played this year, he's been a difference maker, whether it's
16:13
Speaker 6: loud on the statuet or not. He's definitely been one
16:15
Speaker 6: of the most consistent interior linemen for the Seahawks defensively. Now,
16:20
Speaker 6: bumb let's once you walk me through the wide receiver
16:22
Speaker 6: round up here.
16:24
Speaker 7: All right, let's do a dk metcalp like I mentioned
16:26
Speaker 7: five receptions one hundred and six yards, no touchdowns, but
16:29
Speaker 7: was effective.
16:30
Speaker 8: No Ofhfen had five for fifty nine.
16:32
Speaker 7: In fact, Charbonney had five for thirty nine and Kobe
16:35
Speaker 7: Parkinson two for thirty eight, Ken of Walker three for
16:37
Speaker 7: twenty two. Jackson Smith and Jake but only two targets
16:40
Speaker 7: but one of them went for a touchdown. He had
16:41
Speaker 7: twelve yards overall. Tyler Lockett just couldn't get couldn't find
16:44
Speaker 7: the groove man. He had five targets, one reception for
16:46
Speaker 7: ten yards, and then Jake Bobo had one reception for
16:50
Speaker 7: four yards. So no, we're overwhelming numbers once you get
16:53
Speaker 7: outside of DK Metcalp. I do like the way the
16:56
Speaker 7: ball was distributed, though.
16:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I love to see Noah fen in Phobie
17:00
Speaker 6: Parkinson out there. Noah it continued to make play after play.
17:03
Speaker 6: I would love to see him continue to be involved
17:05
Speaker 6: in his offense. It's hard when you have DK and
17:07
Speaker 6: Tyler and JSN, but when the tight ends are involved,
17:10
Speaker 6: this team is at its best.
17:12
Speaker 5: And that's that's for sure. Now we alluded to it
17:14
Speaker 5: a little bit earlier.
17:15
Speaker 6: We're gonna hop in the coaches corner and take a
17:17
Speaker 6: look at Geno Smith touchdown as he finds Jackson Smith
17:20
Speaker 6: and Jigba.
17:21
Speaker 5: On third down, Lockett starts in motion, right goes back.
17:25
Speaker 5: Geno has time, looks pires back of the end zone.
17:28
Speaker 8: Touchdown.
17:29
Speaker 4: Sehawks reaching up making the catch is Jackson Smith and
17:35
Speaker 4: Jaca from twelve yards And that was a laser thrown
17:41
Speaker 4: by Geno.
17:41
Speaker 2: Smith right under the goalposts.
17:45
Speaker 4: JSN reaches up, snatches that ball between the two dps,
17:49
Speaker 4: and the Seahawks have taken a thirteen to ten lead.
17:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, So man, I like this man is a simple
17:56
Speaker 7: double post with like a whip route underneath. So you
17:58
Speaker 7: got Tyler Locke who starts as the number three receiver
18:01
Speaker 7: outside of DK.
18:02
Speaker 8: He motions the inside, then the ball is snapped.
18:05
Speaker 7: Once he gets to that number three spot, he runs
18:07
Speaker 7: the whip route, so he's going out to the sideline
18:10
Speaker 7: reverse pivots. He's back underneath. But what they're doing here,
18:13
Speaker 7: they're playing a game with the safety over the top
18:15
Speaker 7: for the Steelers. Right, you got JSN in the slot,
18:18
Speaker 7: he's gonna run a post. You got DK Metcalf on
18:20
Speaker 7: the outside, He's gonna run a post, a little double
18:22
Speaker 7: post action really making that safety have to choose who
18:25
Speaker 7: he wants to take away. He slides over to his right,
18:28
Speaker 7: takes away Dk Metcalf. You got Jasn work in the
18:31
Speaker 7: middle of the field and a great throw by Gino.
18:34
Speaker 7: You got no offense if that ball is a little later,
18:36
Speaker 7: no offense on the other side. Looks like he's running
18:38
Speaker 7: a post too. Something tells me one of those two
18:40
Speaker 7: were supposed to be skinny. But nonetheless, Gino just reads
18:43
Speaker 7: the safeties they expand a little bit. You got Jsin
18:47
Speaker 7: working right up the middle of the field. He goes up,
18:49
Speaker 7: catches it with his body. A nice bang bang type
18:52
Speaker 7: of play right there. This young man is getting better
18:55
Speaker 7: and better every single week.
18:56
Speaker 6: I just love to throw from Geno from the end
18:58
Speaker 6: zone shot where you can tell how dificult though throw
19:00
Speaker 6: this was because you have the safety who's on Gino's
19:03
Speaker 6: right side defensive left, who's kind of sitting there no
19:06
Speaker 6: man's land. He's kind of squatting underneath and just trying
19:08
Speaker 6: to read Geno's eyes and he That is just a
19:11
Speaker 6: perfect throw from Gino Smith to get it just over
19:14
Speaker 6: the top of the fingertips right to where only Jason
19:16
Speaker 6: can catch the football. Great play, and I do agree
19:19
Speaker 6: with you Bump. I'm not sure that Jayson and no
19:21
Speaker 6: fan is supposed to be standing right next to each other.
19:23
Speaker 5: In the back of the end zone, but hey, it's
19:25
Speaker 5: all good when you score.
19:27
Speaker 8: It all worked out counts for six.
19:30
Speaker 5: Sure does.
19:31
Speaker 6: But unfortunately what did not count was another check mark
19:35
Speaker 6: in the win calling for the Seahawks. The clock just
19:37
Speaker 6: ran out.
19:41
Speaker 3: On me.
19:42
Speaker 2: Taken by Hunley. They're just gonna left the clock wind down,
19:44
Speaker 2: but it's not even gonna bother taking that last time out.
19:49
Speaker 6: Disappointing day all round for the Seahawks as they were
19:51
Speaker 6: unable to win the final home game of the twenty
19:53
Speaker 6: twenty three season. Disappointing obviously from the playoff implications and
19:57
Speaker 6: all that, but this team was actually played pretty well
19:59
Speaker 6: at home this year leading into this, only that two
20:02
Speaker 6: losses coming in, so that was tough there. And it
20:05
Speaker 6: just comes down to the Steelers out executing. They ran
20:07
Speaker 6: seventy one place to the Seahawks forty nine. They ran
20:10
Speaker 6: for two hundred and two yards to the Seahawks eighty eight,
20:13
Speaker 6: and the Seahawks are now two and eight when they
20:14
Speaker 6: don't run for one hundred yards.
20:16
Speaker 5: So really hard to win ball games that way, Bump.
20:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you got to be able to tackle man.
20:20
Speaker 8: That was an issue as well.
20:22
Speaker 7: And then the time of possession thirty seven minutes or
20:25
Speaker 7: twenty two minutes for the Seattle Seahawks. But on the positive,
20:28
Speaker 7: Geno played an efficient game, almost completed seventy percent of
20:31
Speaker 7: his passes. He looked good in the pocket, and he
20:33
Speaker 7: found DK metcalf about five times for one hundred yards man.
20:38
Speaker 7: Like I mentioned, the third time he's gone over one
20:40
Speaker 7: hundred this season. Dk a thousand yard season man back
20:44
Speaker 7: to back years.
20:45
Speaker 8: You need to see DK finding himself in this offense.
20:50
Speaker 7: Let's se if you can do one more time this
20:52
Speaker 7: weekend and help these Hawks get a W in the desert.
20:56
Speaker 5: Definitely, we need it, the Seahawks needed. They can get
20:58
Speaker 5: it done.
20:58
Speaker 6: Me and Bump are gonna break down the reasons why
21:00
Speaker 6: they're gonna get that done in Arizona. Seahawks are back
21:03
Speaker 6: at it this week getting ready for that game. We
21:06
Speaker 6: appreciate everybody listening. This has been Hawk Talk. Make sure
21:09
Speaker 6: to rate us on Apple podcasts if you're doing listening
21:11
Speaker 6: that way, you can hear us anywhere Seahawks dot Com,
21:14
Speaker 6: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Serious x M. The Seahawks gotta
21:19
Speaker 6: find a way to get a win this weekend and
21:21
Speaker 6: get a little help from the Bears to get in
21:22
Speaker 6: the playoffs.
21:23
Speaker 5: So I'm saying there's a chance and believe it. Speaking
21:26
Speaker 5: of resistance, it's gonna happen.
21:27
Speaker 1: Bump.
21:28
Speaker 5: We will be planning a road tip to Dallas for
21:30
Speaker 5: the playoffs, but before we get through that, we'll give
21:33
Speaker 5: a little preview podcasts before then. So until next time,
21:36
Speaker 5: he's back a bumpa some NaSTA Chobe. This has been
