  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are playing the Minnesota Bikes this week, looking
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to bounce back as usual. It's Michael Bumpas. I'm here
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with NASA Toby. NASA is gonna hit us with these
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: injury updates. Overall, pretty solid injury update from head coach
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. Ryan Money was inactive against the Titans last week,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: but it's making progress. His strength is really coming back,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and from what I heard today, they tested him for
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the first time in three or four days, and so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that means yet, but his strength
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: came way back from where it was, so he's feeling
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: much better. We can find out if that's enough to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: let him play. I don't know yet. Peker also gave
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: an update on Brandon Shell, DK Metcalf and Rashad Penny. First,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Brandon Shell, he's still a little sore right now. He
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: won't go to day. We'll see what happens this week.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Go day to day here, Okay, Um, he's he's running
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna he won't make it this week unless
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it's a real surprise at the end of the week
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: due to the process that he has to make one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: ground running and all that. Yeah, yeah, he's going today,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: all right, Bump. Like you mentioned, the Seahawks are taken
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on the O and two Minnesota Vikings. Who's next, Who's next?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Who's next? The Vikings had a rough start to the season,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: starting O and two and two heartbreaking losses in tough fashion.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: They lose twenty seven to twenty four to the Cincinnati
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Bengals and overtime. Also dropped a tough game last week
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty three to the Arizona Cardinals. Now
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: week one, I mentioned they lost in a heartbreaker to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. They were down fourteen in the second half.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Scratch Claude fought their way back, needed a fifty three
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: yard field goal to send the game into overtime. They
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: got it in overtime. Dalvin Cook had a critical fumble
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that led to the excuse me led to the Bengals
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: game winning field goal and overtime. Vikings had to overcome
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lots of mistakes. They're penaltized twelve times for one hundred
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and sixteen yards, four penalties Bump in the first eight plays,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: so couldn't have started any worse. Last week, Week two,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the pain continued for those Vikings. They took on a
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tough Cardinals team coming off a big win over the Titans.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But Bump, let me tell you something, man, how this
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: game ended painful? So the Vikings are lining up for
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a thirty seven yard field goal with the game on
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the line put down, Joseph, Are you kidding me, mister Wright?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He mister right, Paul, Oh my, just mister Wright. Watch
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a gut punch to a team fall that play after
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: play toward the yet fought its way out. All right,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's a courtesy of the Vikings radio network. Man Bump,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: real quick before you get into this. I have to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I feel for the guy. Paul Allen, who's a play
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: by play voice for the Minnesota Vikings, is a great
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: job along with Peter burs It's the color man. It's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: tough man. Especially in Arizona. The broadcast angle where those
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: booths are is not in a good location. It's in
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the top corner. From that vantage point, it's hard to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: different differentiate if it's good or not. That's why a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: lot of situations like that, play by play guys usually
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: wakes even though it's painful and everyone's like, why are
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: they giving us a call? They wait to see that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: official signal. Unfortunately, he jumped the gun and you could
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: just feel the pain in his voice. Oh man, he
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: went from the most excited dude in the stadium to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the most disappointed ad. That was a tough way to lose,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the Vikings man. Two weeks in a row, heartbreak losses.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But they've been in the game. That's why I look
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: at this team and I'm like, this isn't a bad
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: football team. They got some guys. Now they played against
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray doesn't get the love he deserves
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: so far this year, okay, he was twenty nine to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: thirty six, four hundred yards, three touchdowns, did have two interceptions,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but he ran for thirty one yards and another touchdown.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody was touching a ball. It fell like he spread
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the wealth around to six different receivers who had three
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: receptions each. Kyler Murray needs some more love, He needs
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: some more respect. Kylin Murray is scary good right now.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And he's in year three and he's slowly figuring out
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that offense. It feels like the game is slowing down,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and he just has those dynamic plays. I hate to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: compare him to Russell Wilson, but Russell Wilson opened up
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the door for quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, and you just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: see those plays. Like in Tennessee. They couldn't get him down,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: flicking the wrist downfield, you can't keep him in the pocket,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rolling out to his right, left doesn't matter. Ala Murray
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is absolutely electric. Dalvin Cook another good running back, rush
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: for over fourteen hundred yards last year, had twenty two
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: carries one hundred and thirty one yards. Now, I just
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: did a film session. You guys check that out. It
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: should be on the Seahawks YouTube this week and Dalvin
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Cook in the run scheme for the Minnesota is impressive.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: They like that gap, they like to pull guards, they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like to down block, they like to lead with the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: full back. It's gonna be another tough week when it
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: comes to stopping the running backs. Dalvin Cook is a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: downhill runner, but he does have some wiggle, has some
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: breakaway speed as well. Yeah. Man, it's after a tough week.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We're getting this a little bit later. After a tough
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: week stopping Derrick Henry last week. For the Seahawks defense,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have their work cut out for him. Dalvin
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Cook is a very talented back, and Mike Zimmer in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the Vikings scheme and system that is similar in the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sense of what you've seen for Pete Carroll over the years.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: They're gonna run the football. They're good at running football.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They want to play good defense, so it'll be a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: good matchup Bear kirk Cousins. He turned out a pretty
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: soliday two hundred and forty four yards with three touchdowns.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned earlier, the team's kind of traded vehicles
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in the fourth. It was low key a really good
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: football game. Cardinals and the Vikings. Matt Prador hits. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: twenty seven yard field goal given Arizona the thirty four
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to thirty three lead with four twenty five left. The
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Vikings drove all the way down the field and as
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you heard earlier, Joe system is that thirty seven yard
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: field goal. So it was a heartbreaker for the Vikings.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But that being said, they're gonna be jacked up, fired up,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Brady to go because no one wants to start the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: season owing three. Despite a seventeen game season heart break,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hotel two weeks in a row for the Minnesota Vikings.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I also want to point out Kirk Cousins has not
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: thrown an interception this year. NaSTA Choo and the Hawks
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have not recorded an interception on defense this year. Let's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: switch it up, all right, man, Let's look at this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: head to head comparison. Head to head, man, the Seahawks
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: one and one, Vikings zone and two. And if you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: look at this, bumba, I'm gonna start on defense. It
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: took a hit last week. Yeah. Again, it's hard to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: look they head to head in depth because we're only
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: two weeks in the season, but the Seahawks fell to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: thirtieth in total defense, given up four hundred thirty four
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: yards a game. A lot of that was because of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: what happened last weekend Rust defense fell the thirty first,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: given up one hundred and sixty two on the ground,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and pass defense fell the twenty second with two hundred
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and seventy one yards given up per game. Again, if
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you give up five hundred plus yards to a team,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: your numbers are gonna take a hit, especially with a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: small sample size. The other side of the ball, the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Vikings also haven't played that great defensively in terms of stats.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: They're giving up four hundred and twenty yards of total
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: offense that's twenty eighth in the league. Rush defense are
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: given up one hundred and twenty six yards on the ground,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: tied for twenty first, and past defense are given up
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety four yards a game, tied for
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: excuse me, twenty sixth in the league. So last week
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: did not help their stat book as well, so it'll
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see how these defenses bounced back two
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: weeks in. Both of these defenses are in the bottom
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: third of the league when it comes to these stats.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Now where they excel a bit is on the offensive side.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Total offense ranked four the Seahawks, they're eleventh. Now I
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: think they're better than eleventh, is just you know, things happen,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and the Vikings are six. When it comes to rush offense,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are nineteen, the Vikings are eleven. Pass offense,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are tenth and the Vikings are eight. Pretty even.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: It looks like these teams are evenly matched. Right. They're
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: both tours about them on defense, both around the middle
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to the top of the pact. On offense, another thing
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: they have in common penalty woes. Okay, you have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: get rid of these penalties. Last week, the Seahawks had
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: ten penalties for one hundred yards. For the season, they
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: have seventeen penalties four hundred and fifty three. Right behind them,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the Vikings have fifteen penalties for one hundred and thirty two.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So both coaches are going into this week and they're saying,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: let's clean this stuff up. Yeah. I mean, that's one
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: thing that you talk to any coach, especially Pete Carroll.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: You cannot be penalized. He spoke of that at length
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this week and after the game, that we just can't
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: do that. Especially those are penalties a lot of which
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: happen that can be avoided, you know, lay hits on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, the taunting one. We've talked about that we're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not gonna get it at. That's off the table. There's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: other penalties that can easily be stopped. I think both
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: coaches feel the same way, and that has to get
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: cleaned up as we go into this week. All right,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: let's look into the history. Know your history, no your history?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: All right? The Seahawks lead the all time series twelve
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to five, or the Minnesota Vikings and the last meeting,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: bump Man, this wasn't This was a crazy game at
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Loomanfield last year. Unfortunately there's no fans there to experience
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: this crazy comfort behind victory. Last season, the Seahawks beat
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the Vikings twenty seven to twenty six. The Seahawks have
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: won the last six matchups against the Vikings. It feels
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: like we play them every year. We play them the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: last three. But in that last meeting, the Seahawks couldn't
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get much going in the first half, trailing thirteen to nothing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: The Vikings stormed back, scoring three straight touchdowns to take
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a twenty one thirteen lead, or the Seahawks did. Then
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the Vikings answer were two more scores of their own,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but got stopped on a big two point conversion attempt
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and then bump. If you remember this last final drive,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you know I'll remember bro the Vikings kickoff to the Seahawks.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Seahawks were trailing twenty six to twenty one with one
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: fifty seven on the clock, with the ball on their
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: own six yard line. Somehow Russell Wilson, DK Tyler they
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: get things going. The Seahawks were up against a fourth
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in ten Russell throws up a prayer DK Metcalf on
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the sideline for thirty nine yards. Seahawks continue to drive
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to have all the way down to the Viking six
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: yard line, went three straight incompletions, but faced this fourth
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and goal with fifteen seconds remaining. Russell lookout, He's gonna
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: fire inside, preaching up, make you a catch? Does he
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hang on? He does? Kids a touchdown. It's a touchdown Seahawks.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And it's Metcalf who reaches up and makes the catch,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: crossing the field, making the catch in the middle of
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Enzo and Russell finds him and throws the dark
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and we all waited to see who it was. David
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and made the catch because it could have been anybody.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But it was Medcalf going to the ground, perfect passed
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: by Russ and absolutely no doubt about it. Russell Wilson
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: comes back for his thirty fourth career fourth quarter or
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: overtime comeback and Seattle now Leeds twenty seven, twenty six.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: That game was unreal. Bump. What do you remember about that? Man?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I remember one. We were some of the lucky few
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who were in the stadium in the suite. We had
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a perfect view of that last drive. They were going
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: towards the north end zone. We were in the south
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: end zone. We saw it all go down. Yeah, DK
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: macal come up with two crucial plays on fourth down,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and I remember thinking DK's here. Now he has a ride.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: It's raining, it's wet out there. He's still making these
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: tough passes and you know, getting to those four downs
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: with stressful. But Russell did what Russell usually does, leads
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: him down the field for a game with a touchdown.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Like Steve Rabel said, that was his thirty fourth time
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: doing it. I hope it doesn't come to that this week. Nope.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I would like to play how the Seahawks playing in
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Week one. Comfortable, not getting your heart rate up, not pacing,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: not back and forth. Stay out big, keep winning big.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: But the Seahawks will play the Vikings a ton last
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: couple of years will help the trend continues the Seahawks
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: way as it's going. But man, the NFC West, boy,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: that's a bad division. What's the word? And the Seahawks
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: where the NFC West champs? Again? What's the word? In
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the West? On Hawk talk? What's the word? Seattle's one
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and one and they are last in the division right now,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that's how good this division is. The Rams of two
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and no, Cardinals two and no. Nine Ers are two
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and oh. We've set this a million times in NFCY
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: West is the best division in football. If the Hawks
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: were able to beat the Tennessee Titans, say, the whole
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: division as a whole would have been eight in oh.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Let's focus on some of these teams. Now, the Rams
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: beat the Colts in a close twenty seven to twenty
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: four matchup. Now, Carson Wentz went out late in the game.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: We got to see a local kid, Lake Stephens stand out,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: U dub stand out. Jacob Eaton had a chance off
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the bench to be the hero, but he threw an interception.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I saw that interception. It was such a rookie throw.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He tried to throw a corner into a deep cover's look.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That corner dropped right into the zone. Picked it off.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: It was easy pick as I believe that was. I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: don't know who the corner was. I just know there
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: was a battery. He looked like a rookie right there. Now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford turned in an okay performance nineteen to thirty
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: twenty seventy eight yards and two touchdowns, one interception. But
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: my guy Cooper Cup, oh man, Yeah, he's one of
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: my favorite receivers. Every chance it gets to talk about him,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Nine receptions, one hundred and sixty
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: three yards, two touchdowns. He's getting better. Cooper Cup is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: getting he looks faster. I'm like, where did this speed
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: come from? What's your offseason workout? Look like? Cooper Cup
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and those Rams are looking good right now? Yeah, Cooper
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is scary man. They still got those weapons over there now.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It was the Rams obviously win the game. They have
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a big stop late. They didn't look as explosive outside
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of Cooper Cup as they had done in previous weeks.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I believe Henderson only rushed for like sixty yards Stafford
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: was you know, I mean it wasn't by no means
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was a bad game at all. Two hundred and sevent
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: eight yards, two touchdowns, win, interception. But there's some chinks
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in the armor many they looked. I wouldn't I don't
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: want to say vulnerable, but it wasn't as good as
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they looked in Week one. However, it wins a win.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: That's all it counts in the record. Call him. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Rams out to a good start now. Also in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the division, the forty nine ers, so they kind of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: want an ugly game. But I'm not gonna lie to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: seventeen to eleven over the Eagles last Sunday. When you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: look at the box score, you can kind of condemned replay.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Nothing really jumps out. Jimmy g twenty two for thirty
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty nine yards, one touchdown, also ran
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: for touchdown. He's a mobile quarterback. He's running for touchdown. Hey,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he ran for like five first downs, bro, so he
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: was doing something right. But the main thing to me,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Bump was Trey Lance watched every snap from the sidelines,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So he's surprised by that. I'm not surprised if you're winning,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy G's like, look, you got Trey Lance. I'm
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: forget me. I'm mobile, Okay, I can pick up first
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: downs too. They're gonna bring on Trey Land slowly now
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: at this point. Honestly, I thought that we would be
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: seeing a little bit more Trey Lance. We've seen him
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit the first the first week. But if
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it ain't broke, don't fix it. Even if it's ugly.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: A win is a win. These Niners are two and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: oh and Jimmy G's having an okay season, so I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: don't I'm not surprised. Yeah, there's no reason to rush
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a rookie along in a second week if you're winning ballgames.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: And you know, Jimmy G gets a lot of flak.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of questions about whether or
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: not he was gonna be replaced even by week three,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: or if he was gonna start the year. He's calm, cool, collected.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a good looking dude. He's out there,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: like I'm confident the starter. Things are going well for them.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't run the ball particularly well. I know George
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Kittle talked about last week that they're the best running
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: team in the National Football League or at least in
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the NFC West, So it'll be interesting to see how
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they go. But they're really banged up at running back.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: They lost a ton of players. It seems like any
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: running back they plug in there's pretty good and it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: okay anyway, So it'll be interesting to see. We'll get
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with those boys in San
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Francisco here pretty soon, Yes we will. We already talked
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: about the Cardinals. Man, those news look explosive. AJ Green
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: is great in the red zone. Hoskins is doing this thing.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: He Edmunds looks good. Man. Yeah, and they got another guy,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Rondale I believe his name is Rondale Moore. They look good.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I look at his office and I'm like, Arizona ain't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: get enough pub man, you gotta be careful. But we're
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: not talking about Arizona. We're talking about the Vikings. Let's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: look at some of these matchups. Man up this man
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk. As we do every week, we
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: look at the key matchup the Seahawks will be facing
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: this Sunday, and you can't look any farther than the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, Kirk Cousins Man and his
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: career bump. He's just been a lightning rod for criticism
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: since he's entered the league and became a starter. You know,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: he's typically done well in the regular season, but has
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a stigma for not doing well in the big game.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like he's kind of changed that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: narrative twenty nineteen with a wild card win in the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: playoffs over the New Orleans Saints. They didn't make the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: playoffs last year. But bump, here's the staff that I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: don't want to throw to you. Man, this is crazy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The longest streak of consecutive games within ninety plus passer
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: rating in NFL history. Okay, this is I'm gonna name
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: read off a couple of names. Number one Peyton Manning.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: He had twenty three of those games from twenty twelve
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: two thirteen. That's very expected. Everyone knows that number three
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: is Peyton Manning at fifteen to two thousand and four,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and tied for number three Steve Young at fifteen in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, nineteen ninty five. But you know who's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: number two in that list? Who's that Kirk Cousins. From
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: last year to right now, he has had sixteen straight
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: games within ninety plus aascerating So say what you want.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: He might not be splashy some other guys. People got
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: angry when he got paid all that guaranteed money. But
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the guy's playing pretty good football. I don't know worse
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to say about it. I mean, he's a good football player.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: You know what I can say? You like that? Don't
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you like that? Kirk Cousins, man, he is like public
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Enemy number one. Him and Jimmy, I feel like no
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: one wants to believe in him, but they just win
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: ball games. And now you're telling me stats where he's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: mentioned with Steve Young and all these other guys. That
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: is crazy. But you and I have been around long
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: enough to know that Kurt is going to keep them
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in the game. He might not win the game, but
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: he will keep them in the game. And these receivers
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: are looking good right now. Jefferson looks good, theling looks good.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You got Osborne who's hit the scene. Now you got
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: a running back. He's surrounded by some talent. So it
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: surprises me, but it doesn't surprise me about mister kirk Cousins.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: All right, another matchup Dalvin Kugg versus the Seahawks front seven.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: We know what this guy can do. In twenty twenty one,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: he has forty two carries from one hundred and ninety
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: two yards and one touchdown. Last week was his bounce
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: back game, twenty two carries, one hundred and thirty one yards.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I just like this running scheme the Big Ray was here.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, he would have a lot of great things
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to say about it. They play power football. They're gonna
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: pull guards, they're gonna lead with fullbacks, They're gonna get
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: bodies on bodies. So Dalvin Cook can open this thing
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: up and do his thing. It's gonna take a community,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: just like it did last week. If you can, if
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you can hone in on what the Hawks did that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: first half and bring this to this Vikings game, they
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: should be okay. But if they don't rally to the football,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and if they don't tackle, if they do not read
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: their keys, it could be a long day. And the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: thing about that bumps that stuff happens so quick. You
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: can play a great half of football, like we saw
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks play in the front seven against the run
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: against the Titans. But one little breakdown here, one little
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: breakdown here, Now they get confidence now they start doing
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: stuff here, here's re screwed up. We're gonna come back
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: with this. We'renna hit you with the counter. We're gonna
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: hit you with this. So they need to stay disciplined.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And it was talked about a lot, you know, between
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: whether it's Pete, Where's Bobby Wagner, whether there's Jamal Adams
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: when they spoke after the game. It's about gap integrity.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: If your job is a B gap or the A gap,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you need to have that gap. If your job on
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the play is force or secondary force, you have to
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: do that. I mean, and that's how things break down
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: because it's team defensing. We have basic good running back
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: like Dalvin Cook. If ten guys do their job but
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: one doesn't, that's when you get in trouble. So the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Seahawks have a lot to work on because it's going
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: to be a tough opponent. We know they can do
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it though. That's a that's a great thing. Bobby Wagner
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: is your leader on defense. From all Adams Squandrey digs,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: there's guys that can get that done. So I'm excited
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to see what this matchup books like against Dalvin Cook.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: All Right, next matchup, We're gonna go DJ Read and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Trey Flowers versus Justin Jefferson, Adam Theeland and kJ Osborn.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Now theeling Justin Jefferson is rubbing off on Theeeling. I
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: know Theeland is the guy who's been there for a while,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: But I saw a Theling score a touchdown and do
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the dance. Though, hey, Jefferson does. He's got his chain out.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: They I guarantee you they believe in hype each other
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: up like we are one of the best duels in
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the league. And I am mad Adam for thinking that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: All right, Justin Jefferson had a huge rookie campaign with
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards and seven touchdowns eighty eight receptions. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: far this year he has eleven receptions for one hundred
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: six yards and one touchdown. Feeling is doing his thing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: He is so good in the red zone. Man, he
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: goes and gets that football. He works the back of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the end zone. This year he has fifteen receptions one
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards three touchdowns. But kJ Osborne,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the second year player, has emerged in twenty twenty one.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: He leads the Vikings in receiving with twelve receptions one
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: hundred seventy six yards one big sixty four yard touchdown
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: last week. Now he had to make the play, but
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that was just a bust on the defense. That corner
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: thought he had safety help over the top. It looked
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: like a Cover two look. Safety was not over the top.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: He stayed in the scene against Justin Jefferson. But Osborne
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: did a good job of getting outside of that corner,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: getting down the sideline and catching the easy football, good
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: pass from Kirk Cousins. Yeah, these guys, I mean the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Seahawks are gonna start getting into some of these spans
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: where they just have good receiver combo after good receiver combo.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He had a tough one last week. With Julio Jones
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and A. J. Brown. We know what they can do.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: This trio is something special. Justin Jefferson is gonna be
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: here to stay for a long time. He's eventually gonna
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: be any all Pro type player. So DJ Read and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, you know, in evaluating them and how they've played,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they've played solid. I mean they haven't. They haven't done
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: much to value, but they made some plays. They broke
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: out some plays in the end zone. The one glaring
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: thing that came out of last week is when Flowers
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: got beat on that fit fifty one yard go ball.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And the thing about Flowers, he's always in position. He's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: just got to make the play that that's the difference.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a tough, tough matchup this week.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But I got faith in those guys. It's just about
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: making the plays when they're there to be made. They'll
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: need some help underneath and underneath coverage, because sometimes when
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: you see a ball get completed on a corner, doesn't
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: mean it was his fault. It might be that they're
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: playing cover three and they are giving that up. That's
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: just the scheme of the defense I was called in
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: that play. Sometimes we're playing a little bit more aggressive
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: bump and runs, so it's hard to differentiate every play
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: if it was so and so's fault. But they're playing
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: okay football. I just want to see them take the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: next step this weekend and take the football away. I
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: want I want you guys to look at now that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the vikings are gonna do some motion before the snap.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: They're gonna move the tightening have some unbalanced look. If
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: you don't see anybody running with that tight end, that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: means it is a zone. So in zone, your job
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: is to keep everything in front of you. So if
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you see a zone look and footballs are caught in
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: front of these guys, that's a plus. You want to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: keep things in front of you. Absolutely, let's get in
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: the next matchup Chris Carsonding, it's this Vikings front seven Carson.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: He did have two touchdowns last week, but only had
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: thirty one yards on thirteen carries. This is huge for me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be one of the biggest
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: keys of the game. They need to get this guy
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: going early. Thirteen carries is not enough in my opinion.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: And it's about establishing the run early. And when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: here established a run, that doesn't mean given the ball
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: thirty seven times and run down first and second down
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: every time. It's getting into a flow and going into
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: it and starting early. Because what happens when you go
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to it early you start to wearing these guys down,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You start to set stuff up. You're like, hey, we've
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: been showing this look all time. Let's do a design cutback,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: let's get into this, let's toss, let's do this action.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: So if you don't establish a run, when you need
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to sustain a drive, in the fourth quarter. Maybe it's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a four minute drill and you haven't been able to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: run the football. It's really hard to sustain drives because
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the defense is gonna make you one dimensional. So it's
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: really important this week to get Chris Carson going bum
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: You said something important, wear them down, and you got
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to have a certain back to wear. Defense is down,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a back that's gonna fall forward, that's gonna meet force
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: food force. Guess what thirty two does that He will
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: wear you down. He will lower that shoulder. Patty's also
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: good out the backfield. I think this week the focus
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: has to be, Okay, we gotta get Chris Carson the ball.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: He needs to touch it at least twenty times in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the run game. Another five or six would dump offs
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and check downs. Gotta get this man. Be football. The
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Vikings defense is twenty first in the league against the run.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: All right, two games are allowing one hundred twenty six
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: yards per game. That is encouraging Chris Carson. Let's get
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: him going, all right. Another matchup Seahawks offense as a whole,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: they need to be more consistent, all right. They came
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: out hot, sputtered in the second half, only had one
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: touchdown in the second half. They have to be able
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to sustain drives when the game this on the line.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Every scoring drive was a long play sixty something yard touchdown,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: three play drive, four play drive. Let's put together some
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: ten play drives. Absolutely. That's the other thing too, Like
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: even Alton Robinson caused a fumble and Chris Carson punched
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: it in the big explosive plays. Don't get me wrong.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Don't hear us say that and be like, oh, you
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: guys didn't want them to score sixty eight your touchdowns,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: but we also want to see drives to replace some
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: of those three and outs. Even if you don't score,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: go forty or fifty yards, flip the field position, give
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: your defense a break, and just sustain drives like we
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: know they're capable of. They do so much good motion
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: stuff that we've seen from them. We saw in week one,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: So you just need to dictate to those that vikings
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: defense and the other thing, man, they just have to
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: be better on third down. Four of twelve is not
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: really what we want to see. So I'm looking forward
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to that. Better on third down. Sustain These drives wear
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: these dudes out all right, and they're not bad on offense. Right,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: they're Tier eight scoring twenty nine points per game, but
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: they got to be where Daniel Hunter last week excuse me,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter. Yeah, last week had against Arizona, had seven pressures,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: four hurries, three sacks, and seven even tackles. Now, guys
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: are going to make plays. Of course, this is the NFL.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: But you can't have a guy to dominate a ball game.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: That's what you don't want to have. So see offense,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to doing what you did first week.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: In the first half a week two, what's the path
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to victory? At the forty five waits for the snaff,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Michael Vickton puts it down. That kick is away, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that kick is gone. It's gone. It's a path to victory.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: On Hawk Talk half the victory, How will these Seahawks
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: get back in the wind column? I'll tell you exactly
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: how they're gonna get back in the wind column. Stop
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the run and play discipline. Pete Carroll. Defenses are always
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: good at stopping the run. That's what they do. They
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: need to flesh the second half from last week, get
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: back after during practice this week and stop a talented
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: back like Dalvin Cook. Bump you alluded to all the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: things that they want to do, pulling guards, leading with
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: full backs, gaps, all that stuff. The Seahawks, they know
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: what they need to do. They got some dogs in there. Okay,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: whether it's you got Bobby Wagner, obviously you got Jordan
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Brooks in upfront, Al Woods, poona Ford. The guys that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: are making plays, they just need to be consistent, stay
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: disciplined in their gap, their run fits. And that includes
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: when Jamal Adams comes down, when we're a nickel, all
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Stay this one. Stop the run, and now
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'll set them up for success. Stop the run and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: get after this quarterback. After a great week one, the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: pass rush was not consistent enough. Now you have to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: hit Kirk Cousins. You have to force him to make
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: bad decisions. So far he hasn't made any bad decisions.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: He has no turnovers. This week. You have to force
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: him into interceptions. Take the ball away. You want to
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: help your offense out like you did last week. You
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: call is to force fumble, put the offense within the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: five bull and Chris Carson punches it in. Short fields
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: are good for the offense. Long fields are good for
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the defense. Absolutely, And let's get into rhythm offensively. We
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: alluded to it just a second ago. The big us
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: most flash plays we love and those are great and
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: want those to continue to happen, but we need to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: be able to sustain where the Seahawks need to be
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: able to stay in the long drives and establish that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: run with Chris Carson. That's a good way to do
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that and match. They need to get into rhythm. When
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: they are are in a rhythm, this offense is scary
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: good and you gotta get DK involved. Ka had eleven
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: targets last week, but none really down the field. They
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: kept him underneath the coverage of lots of slants, hitches
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: or what not going across the field in shallows. It's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: time for DK to have a breakout game now. The
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: focus of the Minnesota defense is going to be unlocket.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna ignore number four team, but it's time
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to see number four team with that blue hair, with
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that nose ring and the air rings. Let him do
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: what he does and bounce back. This week, it's time
• 27:30
