0:30
Speaker 4: On this team.

Speaker 1: Now here's your host, NASA Chobee.
0:35
Speaker 6: Another week, Another Seahawks victory is they beat the Panthers
0:37
Speaker 6: thirty seven at twenty seven in a thrilling game at Lumenfield.
0:40
Speaker 4: There's a lot of cool things going on.
0:42
Speaker 6: It was the anniversary of the Super Bowl forty eighteen,
0:45
Speaker 6: so a lot of legends back in the house, and
0:47
Speaker 6: the Seahawks showed up and showed out, and there was
0:50
Speaker 6: a really good performance from the Seahawks offensive line. So
0:52
Speaker 6: there's one guy that I want to talk to when
0:54
Speaker 6: it comes to the line play and that's my guy,
0:56
Speaker 6: Big Ray Roberts.
0:57
Speaker 4: As we go inside the trenches.
1:01
Speaker 1: It's time to go inside the trenches with former Seahawks
1:04
Speaker 1: Ray Roberts.
1:07
Speaker 4: Big Ray, Big Ray, Big win for the Seahawks.
1:09
Speaker 6: Now, they went into this game down three starters on
1:13
Speaker 6: the offensive line. Charles Cross still doing with a toe injury,
1:16
Speaker 6: Abe Lucas on ir deal with the knee injury. Phil
1:18
Speaker 6: Haynes miss yesterday's game with a caf ray. So tell
1:21
Speaker 6: me what do you see from this offensive line on Sunday?
1:25
Speaker 7: What I saw was, like, I think it probably took
1:27
Speaker 7: them a little bit to get into some rhythm, but
1:29
Speaker 7: I thought the Seahows did a good job of starting
1:32
Speaker 7: to play to the strengths of the of the guys
1:34
Speaker 7: that were in there.
1:34
Speaker 3: So look at my guy Bradford, who's a big.
1:36
Speaker 7: Kind of maller, kind of a dude, kind of mind you,
1:39
Speaker 7: a little bit of DJ Flucker, and then my man
1:42
Speaker 7: Jake Kerhan, who's a really good run blocker.
1:44
Speaker 3: The same with you know, with Lewis on the left side.
1:47
Speaker 7: So I think they started to kind of play to
1:49
Speaker 7: the strengths of the of the offensive line, and so
1:52
Speaker 7: it paid off of them in the running game, even
1:54
Speaker 7: though the running game wasn't pretty all the time, but
1:57
Speaker 7: that's what the running game is. Sometimes it's ugly, ugly, ugly,
1:59
Speaker 7: and then you have a few big, beautiful plays.
2:02
Speaker 3: And it makes it all work. So I was excited
2:04
Speaker 3: about that.
2:05
Speaker 7: The one thing that I that I did see that
2:06
Speaker 7: was a little bit different is they didn't give the
2:09
Speaker 7: tackles as much help in past protection. And I think
2:11
Speaker 7: maybe they underestimated the edge rushers for the for the Panthers.
2:15
Speaker 7: But if there was any kind of little flaw, it
2:17
Speaker 7: was a little bit in that, uh, maybe giving him
2:20
Speaker 7: a little bit more help on the edge in the
2:21
Speaker 7: pass protection.
2:22
Speaker 8: Big great talk about pass protection.
2:24
Speaker 9: He saw Burns beat ker hand early, so then to myself,
2:27
Speaker 9: I'm like, all right, man, how is my guy going
2:29
Speaker 9: to bounce back?
2:30
Speaker 8: And he seemed like he did a pretty good job.
2:32
Speaker 9: Are there any adjustments you make when you play a
2:34
Speaker 9: guy explosive as explosive as Burns, or you rely on
2:38
Speaker 9: technique like take me into the mind of a tackle
2:40
Speaker 9: after get beat?
2:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, Normally, like when you when you get beat, you
2:44
Speaker 7: want to first try to process yourself because usually it's
2:47
Speaker 7: like you know, the next play.
2:48
Speaker 3: You're either back at the line of scrimmat or in
2:50
Speaker 3: the huddle.
2:50
Speaker 7: So on your way back to the huddle, you're trying
2:52
Speaker 7: to think, Okay, what happened on that He kind of
2:55
Speaker 7: came up, shook a little bit, beat me inside, So maybe.
2:58
Speaker 3: I was drifting up filled a little too much.
3:00
Speaker 7: You just kind of make that little note in your
3:02
Speaker 7: head so you can make that adjustment, you know, So
3:04
Speaker 7: I got if you got bull rush, you might be like,
3:06
Speaker 7: oh man, I was sitting a little too high back
3:07
Speaker 7: on my heels a little bit. So you try to
3:09
Speaker 7: process that really quick because you don't have that much
3:12
Speaker 7: time before the next play is called. And so I
3:14
Speaker 7: think probably that was happening. But also with the way
3:17
Speaker 7: they you know, the game in game video and pictures
3:21
Speaker 7: nowadays are incredible, So by the time he gets to
3:24
Speaker 7: the sideline, coach has already figured.
3:25
Speaker 3: Out, you know what he did? You know what?
3:27
Speaker 7: You know, maybe his hand placement or his feet were
3:29
Speaker 7: coming together, he's laid off the ball, or you know
3:31
Speaker 7: what it was. So you can get all that stuff
3:33
Speaker 7: processed on the sideline, but in the game, during like
3:36
Speaker 7: within a drive, you have to be able to process
3:38
Speaker 7: all that and if you can't, you got to be
3:39
Speaker 7: able to put it away. Like I remember my rookie
3:42
Speaker 7: year in the league. That was a problem for me,
3:44
Speaker 7: Like I just never people just never beat me in college,
3:47
Speaker 7: and so I would get beat on the pass rush.
3:49
Speaker 7: The dude may not even touch the quarterback, but it
3:51
Speaker 7: just got around me and it may impact me for
3:53
Speaker 7: the next two or three plays. So I had to
3:55
Speaker 7: have a little message for myself, and you know when
3:57
Speaker 7: I was walking back to the huddle and say, you know, hey,
3:59
Speaker 7: you're prepared, you're talented enough, trust it, and then I
4:02
Speaker 7: move on to the next place. So you got to
4:04
Speaker 7: have some of that and in order to come back
4:07
Speaker 7: from stuff like that.
4:09
Speaker 6: Standing on the offensive line, Ray, young Anthony Bradford gets
4:12
Speaker 6: his first start in place of Phil Haynes. You know,
4:15
Speaker 6: he seems like even gutted through a little ankle injury
4:17
Speaker 6: on a touchdown, kind of rolled his ankle. But getting
4:20
Speaker 6: your first start in front of the twelves. Tell me
4:22
Speaker 6: about Anthony Bradford and what you saw from him. Obviously
4:24
Speaker 6: he was kind of fighting with Phil Haynes to see
4:27
Speaker 6: if he was going to be able to start or
4:28
Speaker 6: be in that mix. Phil been here, the veteran for
4:30
Speaker 6: a long time. Rightfully earned that starting spot. But what
4:32
Speaker 6: do you see from the young kid Anthony Bradford.
4:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, what I saw was a very a dude who
4:38
Speaker 7: has a lot of potential to be a real solid guard.
4:41
Speaker 7: You know, in college he played left tackle, right tackle,
4:44
Speaker 7: and the guard spot, so he hasn't really mastered any
4:48
Speaker 7: of it yet, and so you can see a little
4:50
Speaker 7: bit of that in his game. That's why his technique
4:52
Speaker 7: isn't the most you know, solid technique, but his outcomes
4:56
Speaker 7: are good and that's what I like about it. Dude
4:58
Speaker 7: is like the the thing that I look for sometimes
5:01
Speaker 7: in guards is in pass protection.
5:03
Speaker 3: When they're uncovered, what do they do?
5:05
Speaker 7: Do they just stand in the open space and get
5:07
Speaker 7: a plus for that play or do they look for work?
5:10
Speaker 3: And he's a dude that looks for work.
5:11
Speaker 7: If there's someone rushing over the center, he kind of
5:15
Speaker 7: go get a rib shot. If there's someone rushing over
5:17
Speaker 7: the tight end, go get another I mean over the tackle,
5:20
Speaker 7: go get a rib shot. I like dudes that try
5:22
Speaker 7: to find work when they're freed up, and he's one
5:24
Speaker 7: of those dudes.
5:25
Speaker 3: And then in a run game.
5:26
Speaker 7: Like I said, the dude must have some really strong hands,
5:30
Speaker 7: because once he got his hands on people. It was
5:32
Speaker 7: pretty much a done deal in the run game. And
5:34
Speaker 7: that's why it remind me a lot of DJ Flucker
5:36
Speaker 7: because DJ Flucker didn't have the best.
5:38
Speaker 3: Technique, but like he said, like he'll take him to the.
5:40
Speaker 7: Water whatever that meant back in the day, But that's
5:43
Speaker 7: what I saw Anthony Bradford.
5:44
Speaker 3: Do that a few times in the run game. So
5:46
Speaker 3: I was really impressed by that.
5:47
Speaker 9: Now, let's flip over to the defense man the Hawks
5:50
Speaker 9: were able to get after the quarterback man eleven QB
5:53
Speaker 9: his three sacks. What you see from our defensive defensive line,
5:58
Speaker 9: jay Reee got the party going and then kind everywhere
6:00
Speaker 9: what you see, well.
6:02
Speaker 7: I think you just called out the main cog in
6:05
Speaker 7: the whole will and that's Jay Reed.
6:06
Speaker 3: You know, we talked in the.
6:08
Speaker 7: Preseason during training camp when they talked about putting him
6:11
Speaker 7: over the nose, and I thought that was a good
6:13
Speaker 7: place to put it, because if you can get some
6:15
Speaker 7: pass rush and push in the middle, it's going to
6:17
Speaker 7: help the outside rushers. If the quarterback has a place
6:20
Speaker 7: to step up and escape underneath the outside rush, it
6:23
Speaker 7: makes a little bit harder to get there.
6:24
Speaker 3: And so I think Pe said this is one of
6:26
Speaker 3: the best games he saw in play.
6:28
Speaker 7: I'm glad that he embraced the position and he had
6:30
Speaker 7: a really good game yesterday. Sometimes he didn't always get
6:33
Speaker 7: to the quarterback, but he was pushing the guards and
6:36
Speaker 7: the centers right into the lap of the quarterback, and
6:38
Speaker 7: so that was allowing a guy like Mafey had a
6:40
Speaker 7: really good day. I think he had five hits or
6:43
Speaker 7: five pressures on the quarterback. He was in the backfield
6:45
Speaker 7: all day long. And so I think, like I said
6:48
Speaker 7: in the preseason, for this defensive line, Jaron Reid has
6:52
Speaker 7: to be the dude that is a difference maker, and
6:54
Speaker 7: yesterday he was a difference maker.
6:56
Speaker 6: No question about that. Jay Reed looks special. Probably one
6:59
Speaker 6: of the best games I've seen him in the Seahawk uniform. Ray,
7:01
Speaker 6: So I definitely agree with you on that last thing
7:04
Speaker 6: I have for you, Ray. The Seahawks obviously play a
7:07
Speaker 6: bad second half against the Rams, go to on one
7:10
Speaker 6: now back to back wins. How important is it for
7:12
Speaker 6: them to get to three and one as they head
7:14
Speaker 6: into the bye week and then hopefully get healthy.
7:17
Speaker 7: It's super important because then you know, I looked at
7:19
Speaker 7: them going into the bye week is undefeated, so unfortunately
7:22
Speaker 7: they dropped that one to the Rams.
7:24
Speaker 3: But it's also important for.
7:26
Speaker 7: Them to get it all put together, like, get it
7:29
Speaker 7: all put together going into the bye week.
7:31
Speaker 3: You feel good.
7:31
Speaker 7: Obviously to win, it's a big thing, but if you
7:33
Speaker 7: can win and have it all put together, like like
7:35
Speaker 7: on defense, I still think that there's like these individual
7:38
Speaker 7: performances that look good, but the unit itself hasn't played
7:43
Speaker 7: great all together. They gave up ten of nineteen third
7:46
Speaker 7: down conversions this week, and so that's that's still an
7:50
Speaker 7: issue they need to do. And then on the offensive line,
7:53
Speaker 7: just man, I really think they got to start mixing
7:56
Speaker 7: it in with Sharbonnay. The dude just added a different
7:59
Speaker 7: element to the game. His physicality came, you know, came.
8:02
Speaker 7: You know, it's different than Kenneth Walker. You know, Kenneth
8:04
Speaker 7: Walker's Kenneth Walker is a big play waiting to happen
8:07
Speaker 7: every time he touches the ball. Sometimes I want him
8:09
Speaker 7: to just kind of go get the yards and set
8:11
Speaker 7: up some of those cutbacks, but that's not who he is.
8:13
Speaker 7: So I think, you know, kind of cleaning up some
8:15
Speaker 7: of that stuff so everybody feels like they're functioning as
8:18
Speaker 7: a unit. So the the d line know how they
8:20
Speaker 7: fit in with the outside linebackers, who know how they
8:23
Speaker 7: fit in with the inside backers, who know how they
8:24
Speaker 7: fit in with the safeties in the corners. And then
8:26
Speaker 7: the same on offense, how the offensive line fits with
8:29
Speaker 7: the running backs and two different styles. How Gino you
8:31
Speaker 7: know is getting the ball out using the tight ends, receivers,
8:34
Speaker 7: the running backs, all of that. If you have some
8:36
Speaker 7: feel good going into the bye week with a win,
8:39
Speaker 7: I think that'd be a great way to do it.
8:41
Speaker 6: I hope you're right, big Ray. We need it, Bob, right,
8:44
Speaker 6: we needed three on one. Come on now, yeah, sure,
8:48
Speaker 6: let's get it all right, Ray, go ahead.
8:51
Speaker 9: That's what I got for you, man. I just want
8:52
Speaker 9: to ask you about the tight ends. I was surprised
8:55
Speaker 9: that they didn't lead them attached to the line of
8:57
Speaker 9: scrimmage as much as I thought they were to help out.
9:01
Speaker 9: Do you think that's because they wanted them to get
9:03
Speaker 9: more involved in the pass game?
9:04
Speaker 8: They trust the tackles, What did you see when it
9:07
Speaker 8: comes to that.
9:09
Speaker 7: I really do think that they may have underestimated the
9:12
Speaker 7: edge rushers for the Carolina passers and felt like they
9:15
Speaker 7: could handles control it with not much help.
9:18
Speaker 3: There's a few.
9:18
Speaker 7: Times when they had the running backs back there trying
9:21
Speaker 7: to chip, but the running backs sometimes sometimes the chip
9:24
Speaker 7: on the outside from the running back is the worst
9:27
Speaker 7: case scenario because as a I know for sure there
9:30
Speaker 7: was at least one pressure that forsythe gave up where
9:33
Speaker 7: he was expecting the chip on the outside, so he
9:35
Speaker 7: was sitting on the inside and the chip never came.
9:38
Speaker 3: And so sometimes having the tight end.
9:40
Speaker 7: Attached there makes it a lot easier than having the
9:42
Speaker 7: running back due to chip, because the tight end is
9:44
Speaker 7: going to the dude that's usually lined up either inside
9:47
Speaker 7: or right outside the tight end, so you're going to
9:48
Speaker 7: get some contact there before you.
9:50
Speaker 3: Have to block him. So I think if they had
9:52
Speaker 3: to do it all over again, I think they probably
9:54
Speaker 3: would have attached the tight ends to.
9:56
Speaker 7: The line of scrimmage a little more or done a
9:58
Speaker 7: better job with the running back chipping up, because these
10:01
Speaker 7: dudes are capable of blocking.
10:02
Speaker 3: Dudes one on one, but they are the next man
10:05
Speaker 3: up for a reason. They're not.
10:06
Speaker 7: They're not the starters, they're not the dudes that went
10:08
Speaker 7: the distance last year. They're not the high draft picks
10:11
Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff, and so They're going to.
10:13
Speaker 3: Have flaws in their games, so you can't expect.
10:15
Speaker 7: Them to be what you know, to do what they
10:17
Speaker 7: did against Detroit without some type of help.
10:20
Speaker 4: He is Big Ray Roberts.
10:21
Speaker 6: He's got a PhD In moving people on the offensive line.
10:24
Speaker 4: Right, Appreciate it as always, and we'll talk to you
10:26
Speaker 4: next week.
10:28
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I liked that. Didn't moving people? I'm not
10:30
Speaker 3: instilled that one.
10:31
Speaker 4: You gotta dog Patton right now.
10:34
Speaker 3: Thanks for Gomi, please all right.
10:36
Speaker 6: I always love catching up with Big Ray Roberts, one
10:39
Speaker 6: of our good guys.
10:40
Speaker 4: A lot of people.
10:40
Speaker 6: Something that's so misunder said, bump is offensive line play,
10:43
Speaker 6: probably the most misunder said thing in sports. We love
10:46
Speaker 6: that we have a resident PhD In moving people, Ray
10:48
Speaker 6: Roberts with us every week. But let's get back to
10:51
Speaker 6: this game, Panthers.
10:52
Speaker 4: What it happened? See what happened at first left?
10:56
Speaker 6: What had happened was unhoked dog A little bit of
11:01
Speaker 6: a slow start if you're an offensive person. Game first
11:03
Speaker 6: seven drives featured four field goals in three punts. Of
11:07
Speaker 6: those seven drive the Seahawks put together three long drives
11:09
Speaker 6: but were unable to convert in the red zone. Settling
11:12
Speaker 6: for three field goals to get this game going. And
11:16
Speaker 6: you know, the Panthers actually would be the first one
11:19
Speaker 6: to get in the end zone after a blown coverage
11:21
Speaker 6: by the Seahawks was led to a forty seven yard
11:23
Speaker 6: touchdown by DJ Chark, which made the score ten to
11:25
Speaker 6: nine Panthers. Not the start bump I was expecting. Obviously,
11:29
Speaker 6: the Seahawks bounce back, but I was kind of expecting
11:31
Speaker 6: them to kind of jump all over the Panthers in
11:33
Speaker 6: a rough environment. It just took a little bit of
11:35
Speaker 6: time to get things going.
11:37
Speaker 8: Yeah, did man and that play.
11:38
Speaker 9: When you get a breakdown in the coverage like that,
11:42
Speaker 9: it hurts, but you're thinking, Okay, we can fix that.
11:44
Speaker 9: It's not like they did something to out scheme us
11:46
Speaker 9: and we were confused. It was a miscommunication. But Gino
11:50
Speaker 9: didn't help the situation, right. He throws his first interception
11:53
Speaker 9: to Dion Jones, who the Panthers just picked up. And
11:56
Speaker 9: on that throw right there, I saw him looking inside
11:58
Speaker 9: to Jaysin. Shouldn't have been looking in that direction anyway,
12:01
Speaker 9: because he's running a slam into a backer. I don't
12:06
Speaker 9: want to say he saw ghost, but I want to
12:08
Speaker 9: say that he just wasn't aware of what was going
12:10
Speaker 9: on around him, so that play gap all mixed up.
12:14
Speaker 9: After the pick, the Hawks would answer it eleven play
12:16
Speaker 9: fifty four yard driver, but once again have to settle
12:18
Speaker 9: four field goals, trying thirteen to twelve. As a teams
12:21
Speaker 9: went into halftime, and there's two ways you can feel
12:24
Speaker 9: about it. You were thinking, Okay, we let some get biased,
12:28
Speaker 9: we let some points on the board, or we're fortunate
12:30
Speaker 9: to even be in this situation with everything that's going
12:32
Speaker 9: on in the first half.
12:33
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right.
12:34
Speaker 6: And this is kind of a similar halftime, not the
12:36
Speaker 6: exact same, but the same thing about the Rams game.
12:38
Speaker 6: Almost in a sense Ram games you were up, but
12:41
Speaker 6: a similar kind of game where you're like, Okay, we
12:43
Speaker 6: probably should be behead by more points, and you know
12:46
Speaker 6: you can, like you said, you can go into the
12:47
Speaker 6: halftime feel kind of bad about it, or you can
12:49
Speaker 6: go out and do what the Seahawks did. And this
12:51
Speaker 6: time definitely different than the Rams game. Second half great
12:54
Speaker 6: one for the Hawks. Opening drive, the Hawks marched down
12:57
Speaker 6: for a field goal after they saw that in the
12:59
Speaker 6: red zone. Jason and Myers kicked the field goal that
13:02
Speaker 6: made them go up fifteen to thirteen about five field
13:05
Speaker 6: goals for Jason Myers. Good for him, dog Man, good
13:08
Speaker 6: for him. He's been going through it.
13:10
Speaker 8: Need to see that.
13:11
Speaker 6: For sure, they need it. But the cool part about
13:13
Speaker 6: that was Bump. That was the last time the Hawks
13:15
Speaker 6: would trail. The Panthers would miss a field goal and
13:18
Speaker 6: the Hawks will take advantage with their first touchdown drive
13:20
Speaker 6: of the day, set up by a thirty six yard
13:22
Speaker 6: pass from ken Walker or two ken Walker from Geno
13:25
Speaker 6: Smith down the sideline boom. A couple plays later, he's
13:28
Speaker 6: in the end zone one yard touchdown, making the score
13:30
Speaker 6: twenty two to thirteen. Panthers on the ensuing drive, answers
13:33
Speaker 6: right back with a nine play seventy five yard drive
13:35
Speaker 6: ending a Miles Sanders one yard touchdown, making the score
13:39
Speaker 6: twenty two to twenty. Bump, but not after that, looks
13:41
Speaker 6: like the Seahawks kind of put this into another gear now.
13:44
Speaker 8: The Hawks kept things rolling.
13:46
Speaker 3: Man.
13:46
Speaker 9: They go six plays, sixty nine yards and ken Walker
13:49
Speaker 9: finds the enzo again for his second time.
13:52
Speaker 8: After two punts in the turnover on down.
13:53
Speaker 9: Seahawks would deliver the final nail in the coffin takes
13:57
Speaker 9: five plays, Geno finds a receiver in the back of
14:00
Speaker 9: the end zone.
14:01
Speaker 8: That receiver Jake Bobo.
14:04
Speaker 9: You know, every time he makes a play, I'm just
14:05
Speaker 9: gonna pap myself in the back because I've been talking
14:07
Speaker 9: about this dude.
14:07
Speaker 8: Since he was picked up as a free age and
14:10
Speaker 8: so I'm excited about that man.
14:11
Speaker 9: The final drive would be sure that went five places,
14:14
Speaker 9: twenty seven yards, and then in a touchdown, the Hawks
14:16
Speaker 9: will go up thirty seven to twenty and would win
14:18
Speaker 9: by a score of thirty seven to twenty seven.
14:22
Speaker 8: Pete Carroll did some things this game.
14:25
Speaker 4: That's what he do.
14:26
Speaker 6: Tied Mike Holmgren. Another respect to the gu who'sould be
14:29
Speaker 6: in the Hall of Fame. I don't even need to
14:31
Speaker 6: beat that drum anymore. Everyone in their moms knows that.
14:34
Speaker 6: But he tied Mike Holgren for fifteen play on place
14:36
Speaker 6: on the NFL's all time winning his coaches list with
14:39
Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy four of them. Things bump one
14:41
Speaker 6: hundred and seventy four wins. Definitely good to see coach
14:44
Speaker 6: getting on that list. He's got a lot more wins
14:46
Speaker 6: that'd be have had here in Seattle, so definitely good
14:48
Speaker 6: to see that. Another cool thing about that game, the
14:51
Speaker 6: Hawks defense shut down the run once again, hoping the
14:53
Speaker 6: Panthers are forty four yards in just three point one
14:56
Speaker 6: yards per carry.
14:58
Speaker 4: So it's been three games. Week's bump.
15:00
Speaker 6: They're shutting the run defense down. You know, after three
15:02
Speaker 6: games it starts to become reality. It's not a fluke.
15:05
Speaker 6: So definitely love to see that. But let's get into
15:08
Speaker 6: the guys that made some plays. Playmakers touchdown, playmakers told
15:16
Speaker 6: him what.
15:17
Speaker 7: Time it is?
15:18
Speaker 9: Ho Wait, all right, first I got we're talking about
15:24
Speaker 9: Geno Smith twenty three and thirty six two ninety six
15:28
Speaker 9: one touchdown and had an interception. We talked about that thing.
15:32
Speaker 9: We're not gonna see interceptions like that again from Gino.
15:34
Speaker 9: The first half was a bit of a struggle. Second
15:36
Speaker 9: half he gets some things together. He goes twelve to
15:39
Speaker 9: thirteen for one forty three and one touchdown.
15:42
Speaker 8: One of the passes that he made.
15:44
Speaker 9: Or the Tyler Lockett for a two point conversion, and
15:47
Speaker 9: that was a Russell Wilson type play. I thought about that.
15:51
Speaker 9: I go, that's some stuff Russell was gonna do back
15:53
Speaker 9: in the day. We're all the way to the right,
15:55
Speaker 9: just toss it up in the air, pray for forgiveness
15:58
Speaker 9: and Tyler Lockett comes down with the football. If it
15:59
Speaker 9: was it's a two point conversion, I don't think he
16:01
Speaker 9: would have done that, but he's like, hey, you know what,
16:02
Speaker 9: let's go ahead and and try something.
16:05
Speaker 6: Not only was it a Russell wilskon s esque, but
16:08
Speaker 6: it was shades of the twenty fifteen twenty fourteen season
16:11
Speaker 6: NFC Championship Game, the two point conversion of Luke Wilson.
16:14
Speaker 6: I think some of the reporters brought that up in
16:16
Speaker 6: the post game where you're kind of rolling right to
16:18
Speaker 6: leth and I won't say throwing up or prayer, but
16:20
Speaker 6: throwing it up and just hoping good things happen, and
16:22
Speaker 6: they did so shout out to gg know Smith. That's
16:25
Speaker 6: definitely a good, good look on that first game there.
16:28
Speaker 6: And then bump ken Walker. Man, we've been waiting to
16:31
Speaker 6: see this. You know, he hasn't gotten the carries we'd
16:34
Speaker 6: hoped he'd get. Kind of started that way last week,
16:36
Speaker 6: which was good. But eighteen carries ninety seven yards, two touchdowns.
16:40
Speaker 6: Then he has three receptions for fifty nine yards and
16:42
Speaker 6: that is a ken Walker that we see, we know,
16:45
Speaker 6: we love and bump when he put that move on.
16:47
Speaker 6: I believe the defensive back oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
16:51
Speaker 9: Snatching ankles, and it just shows his versatility, man like,
16:56
Speaker 9: because when you look at ken Walker, you look at
16:58
Speaker 9: him and you think, okay, he's a star. He's strong, runner,
17:01
Speaker 9: gonna get north south, gonna hit that speed, which is true.
17:04
Speaker 9: But once he gets comfortable, he starts doing things like that.
17:08
Speaker 9: That's a whole another dynamic that keeps defenders on their toes, no.
17:13
Speaker 4: Question about it. These two are scary.
17:15
Speaker 6: Bump because the other guy I want to get to,
17:17
Speaker 6: Zach Charbonne nine carries forty six yards and bump.
17:20
Speaker 4: Can you tell me why?
17:21
Speaker 6: Every time he touches the ball, every yard he gets
17:24
Speaker 6: feels like they are tough. They're the hardest yards in
17:26
Speaker 6: the game. And then defenders are like, yo, I don't
17:28
Speaker 6: want to tackle that dude anymore, man like, get him
17:30
Speaker 6: off the field.
17:31
Speaker 8: And he puts it on film.
17:33
Speaker 9: Man, So again we talk about ken Walker, run through you,
17:36
Speaker 9: run by you. Zach Sharvine has put some stuff on
17:39
Speaker 9: film to where defenders are going to try to hit
17:41
Speaker 9: him low. They're going to be hesitant when he's run
17:43
Speaker 9: out the A and to B. But yeah, Zach Scharboney
17:46
Speaker 9: runs angry and he's not an angry dude. Met the guy
17:48
Speaker 9: hawks fove not angry dude, real calm, but something happens
17:51
Speaker 9: when he puts the pads on him. DK Metcalf had
17:53
Speaker 9: himself a day two six receptions for one hundred and
17:55
Speaker 9: twelve yards. He had three big plays in the passing
17:58
Speaker 9: game that went for nineteen yards or more. He had
18:01
Speaker 9: the first real exposive play of the game when they're
18:04
Speaker 9: going towards the north end zone, sits down in his zone,
18:07
Speaker 9: nice little fifteen yard curl.
18:08
Speaker 8: Once I saw that go down, I go good.
18:11
Speaker 9: Get DK going early, and let's see how the how
18:14
Speaker 9: he evolves throughout the day.
18:15
Speaker 8: If there's such thing as a.
18:16
Speaker 9: Quiet one to twelve, it was a quiet one twelve
18:18
Speaker 9: because so many other things are going on with the
18:20
Speaker 9: running back and the defense. But we needed to see
18:23
Speaker 9: a game like this from DK Metcalf, no.
18:26
Speaker 4: Question about it.
18:26
Speaker 6: We know what he can do, we know how talented
18:28
Speaker 6: he is, and what I love too is like even
18:31
Speaker 6: if it wasn't drives where they scored touchdowns, he was
18:33
Speaker 6: making big plays and even on those field goal drives
18:35
Speaker 6: to at least help flip field position and keeping guys honest,
18:38
Speaker 6: because I still don't feel like we've even really scratched
18:41
Speaker 6: the service with the potential of this offense, which is
18:43
Speaker 6: scary because they just scored thirty seven points and they
18:45
Speaker 6: scored over thirty points last week.
18:47
Speaker 4: So definitely good to see there.
18:49
Speaker 6: Then there's the rookie Devin Witherspoon man coming out party.
18:52
Speaker 6: I think you know he gets his feet wet against
18:55
Speaker 6: Detroit last week, but this week was he was unreal
18:58
Speaker 6: man leven tackles, eight solo, led the team, two passes defended,
19:02
Speaker 6: he was targeted eleven times, only allowed three receptions for
19:06
Speaker 6: nineteen yards. And he's the guy that just has that
19:09
Speaker 6: I wouldn't even almost say quiet. He has a guy
19:11
Speaker 6: that has that loud confidence. He will let you know
19:13
Speaker 6: about every single play he's making, and you can just
19:15
Speaker 6: see the difference when he's out there. He's confident when
19:19
Speaker 6: he makes a move, when he breaks on a ball,
19:21
Speaker 6: it's decisive. There's no hesitancy in his football game at all.
19:25
Speaker 6: So I love to see what he brings to this
19:27
Speaker 6: offense and what he's brought in just two weeks.
19:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, he believes in what he's doing and what he's
19:32
Speaker 9: seeing and there's no denying twenty one is here to stay.
19:36
Speaker 8: It's gonna be fun watching him now.
19:38
Speaker 9: The guy is Jay Reed, Jaran reed Man. One of
19:40
Speaker 9: his better games as a Seawk. He was active from jump.
19:43
Speaker 9: He had eight tackles, one pass defendant, one and a
19:46
Speaker 9: half sacks, one TfL, three quarterback hits. When I found
19:51
Speaker 9: out he was going to be moved to like that
19:53
Speaker 9: nose tackle, I'm thinking, I don't know if that's going
19:55
Speaker 9: to be the right fit for him. Obviously, the coaching
19:57
Speaker 9: staff know way more about him than I do, and
20:00
Speaker 9: as he gets more comfortable, he's gonna start.
20:02
Speaker 8: Making more plays. Man, you love seeing ninety in the backfield, no.
20:06
Speaker 6: Question about it, doing a little dance, trying to show
20:09
Speaker 6: some respects in love to Mike b and Brandon me Bain.
20:11
Speaker 6: So good to see him doing that, because if Jay
20:13
Speaker 6: Reed's dancing, that means he's in the backfield being active.
20:16
Speaker 4: So I love to see that. And then I alluded
20:18
Speaker 4: to it earlier Jason Myers.
20:20
Speaker 6: He was going through a little bit three missed field
20:22
Speaker 6: goals and we almost forgot this guy set a record
20:25
Speaker 6: last year for most consecutive field goals made. Jason Myers
20:27
Speaker 6: has been nails for the Seahawks. There's a reason he
20:29
Speaker 6: got signed to an extension.
20:31
Speaker 4: He is legit.
20:32
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people love this analogy where
20:34
Speaker 6: they think once a kicker starts missing a couple of
20:36
Speaker 6: field goals, he's just bad forever. Jason Myers is no
20:40
Speaker 6: come on man, he's way too manyally tough for that
20:42
Speaker 6: five to five on field goals. He was only three
20:43
Speaker 6: or six coming in. So just happy to see Jason
20:45
Speaker 6: Myers hit a couple of big kicks because you know
20:47
Speaker 6: you're gonna.
20:48
Speaker 4: Need him as the season goes on.
20:50
Speaker 8: Yup, and last one, we got to get some love
20:52
Speaker 8: to the twelves.
20:53
Speaker 9: They calls eight false starts, the first time that's happened
20:57
Speaker 9: in the.
20:57
Speaker 8: Game since twenty eleven.
20:59
Speaker 9: Ben It was, and you could feel the crowd kind
21:03
Speaker 9: of understanding their role in this game as one false
21:07
Speaker 9: start happens, then another false start happens. Now they're tapping
21:11
Speaker 9: hut and shower like, hey, y'all see that, Hey, we're
21:13
Speaker 9: in this game. So I was reminded why there is
21:16
Speaker 9: a twelfth man flag and why the number twelve is
21:18
Speaker 9: retired because the fans earn that jersey man.
21:22
Speaker 8: They showed out, no.
21:23
Speaker 6: Question about it, and it's one after another because it's like,
21:26
Speaker 6: at the beginning of the game, we know they're gonna
21:28
Speaker 6: be loud on defense and the Super Bowl team's coming back.
21:30
Speaker 6: But once people feel like you said that they're affecting
21:33
Speaker 6: the game, they just ratcheted up and it was loud.
21:36
Speaker 6: I was sitting there thinking like, okay, I get it
21:38
Speaker 6: from the tackle and then you start panicking. I think, right,
21:40
Speaker 6: Texadus while I was happening, goes man, I've had a
21:42
Speaker 6: game right, had three fall star penalties. It sucks, man,
21:45
Speaker 6: And you watch it when it's u on two plays
21:47
Speaker 6: in a row and everyone look at you like bro
21:49
Speaker 6: with silent, we're going on too. I get it, and
21:52
Speaker 6: there's a lot going on. So definitely love to see
21:54
Speaker 6: the Twelves balling out, and the Seahawks need it because
21:57
Speaker 6: there haven't been a great home field advantage in recent years,
22:00
Speaker 6: which it was is kind of surprising to say out loud,
22:02
Speaker 6: but I hoping. I'm glad to see the Twelves get
22:04
Speaker 6: after it and the Seahaw's gonna get back to winning
22:06
Speaker 6: at home. So great to see bump. While we do that,
22:09
Speaker 6: let's transition over to the wide receiver roundup. How'd our
22:12
Speaker 6: boys look out there?
22:13
Speaker 4: All right?
22:13
Speaker 3: Man?
22:13
Speaker 8: DJ did this thing?
22:14
Speaker 9: Eight target, six catches, one hundred and twelve yards, no touchdowns.
22:18
Speaker 9: Kenneth Walker he had one hundred and fifty six yards total,
22:20
Speaker 9: fifty nine of them were through the air. He had
22:23
Speaker 9: three catches on three targets. No Offen had himself a
22:26
Speaker 9: good day, four for forty one. Kobe Parkinson tight ends
22:29
Speaker 9: in general. Man, Like, I know Disley wasn't out there,
22:32
Speaker 9: but you look at what noa Fen and Kobe Parkson did.
22:34
Speaker 9: I felt really good about the tes man. Parkinson had
22:37
Speaker 9: three for thirty eight. Tyler Lockett three for thirty four,
22:40
Speaker 9: had a couple of drops that I know we're not
22:41
Speaker 9: gonna see happen two often. Then Jackson Smith and Jagba
22:44
Speaker 9: had one for ten. I'm trying to calm people down,
22:47
Speaker 9: like he's gonna be okay. He's the third option. He's young.
22:50
Speaker 9: It's not like people are trying to compare him to
22:53
Speaker 9: I Zay Flowers or these other guys who have to
22:55
Speaker 9: produce for this team to win.
22:56
Speaker 8: That's just not his role right now. I think he's
22:58
Speaker 8: gonna be fine.
23:00
Speaker 9: We'll had one cast for a touchdown, first touchhout of
23:02
Speaker 9: his career. Congratulations, and then I'm not gonna mention running
23:05
Speaker 9: backs because I got some negatives there, so forget that.
23:07
Speaker 8: Let's just move on to the next one.
23:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's good.
23:10
Speaker 6: And like I said last week, it's always good to
23:12
Speaker 6: see the love being spread around to multiple receivers. So
23:14
Speaker 6: they're definitely doing their thing out there, and it's been
23:16
Speaker 6: a great offensive output.
23:18
Speaker 4: But we'll keep it in the receiving core.
23:19
Speaker 6: As we jump into the coaches corner, as Gino Smith
23:22
Speaker 6: finds Jake Bobo for that first in ever so sweet
23:25
Speaker 6: NFL touchdown.
23:27
Speaker 2: On second down and goal now from the five play fake,
23:30
Speaker 2: Gino's gonna throw.
23:31
Speaker 5: Back at the end zone, reaching up, make you the catch.
23:34
Speaker 5: It's it a touchdown, a touchdown, Seahawks. We're still waiting, Yes, touchdown, Seahawks.
23:46
Speaker 5: Shake Bobo high, throw back line of the ms on.
23:50
Speaker 1: It took the official forever.
23:54
Speaker 10: And he drags that toenail in from five yards his
23:58
Speaker 10: first career touchdown, Jake Bobo in the back of the
24:03
Speaker 10: end zone.
24:04
Speaker 6: Congratulations, there it is bump Man, the guy Bubo. You've
24:08
Speaker 6: been screaming from the mountain top since the preseason, since
24:11
Speaker 6: he stepped in the facility that he's gonna be a
24:12
Speaker 6: legit player.
24:13
Speaker 4: What did you see on this play bump?
24:14
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you get down inside the you're like on
24:17
Speaker 9: the five yard line, maybe right outside the five on
24:19
Speaker 9: a six, but you got two tight ends to the
24:21
Speaker 9: right side.
24:21
Speaker 8: They're gonna motion no offent over to Jake Bubbo.
24:24
Speaker 9: He's tight to the line of Scrimma stealing the two
24:26
Speaker 9: point stands and said, Noah fen on a flat.
24:29
Speaker 8: That kind of expands the corner over there, and.
24:32
Speaker 9: You got one on one with Jake Bubbo and either
24:34
Speaker 9: safety or a nickel. But what sells it is you
24:37
Speaker 9: guy Zak Charbonnay in the backfield, and because he runs
24:39
Speaker 9: so hard, because he can get downhill, they playfake to
24:42
Speaker 9: him and that Mike linebacker steps up. There's no safety behind,
24:46
Speaker 9: there's no safety. There's this one level we used to
24:48
Speaker 9: call that like cover seven. Everyone's standing across the goal
24:51
Speaker 9: line and you don't move. But the mic back bites
24:54
Speaker 9: on the playfake Bubble does an okay job kind of
24:58
Speaker 9: selling something.
25:00
Speaker 8: He's selling the run.
25:00
Speaker 9: He's not blocking, but he kind of puts the defender
25:02
Speaker 9: to sleep and he shakes him and now it's just
25:05
Speaker 9: throw it up to the middle of the end zone,
25:08
Speaker 9: Jake Bubbo, you.
25:09
Speaker 8: Go get it.
25:10
Speaker 9: The best part about this he catches the ball, He
25:12
Speaker 9: jumps so high, catches the ball, looks down lowcates where
25:16
Speaker 9: out of balance is, and just goes almost lamp and
25:20
Speaker 9: gets the toenails in. As Steve Rabel just described it,
25:25
Speaker 9: it was a more of I gotta match up my
25:27
Speaker 9: guys athletic. He's taller, I'm gonna throw it up. But
25:30
Speaker 9: that play fake helps sell the whole thing.
25:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, And what I love about a Bump too, is
25:35
Speaker 6: you said it wasn't. I love his just patience in it, right,
25:38
Speaker 6: because if you know, thinking a rookie year guy in
25:40
Speaker 6: his situation, knowing that he might be the number one
25:44
Speaker 6: option on this play, might might rush that first part
25:46
Speaker 6: a little bit, give the dB a little bit of
25:48
Speaker 6: a chance to stay on top. But he loads him
25:50
Speaker 6: to sleep. And honestly, it probably feels, you know, bump
25:53
Speaker 6: as a receiver. That probably felt like seven seconds and
25:55
Speaker 6: he's kind of waiting, puts his foot in the ground,
25:57
Speaker 6: gets in the end zone.
25:58
Speaker 4: I'm all for it. Love me some, Jake Bobba.
26:00
Speaker 6: So you know more to I mean It's funny because
26:05
Speaker 6: when you're in the preseason, you're talking about guys like
26:07
Speaker 6: that everyone loves. You know those preseason stories where it's
26:10
Speaker 6: kind of like, oh, you fall in love with them,
26:11
Speaker 6: then they disappear. Well, people got to fall in love
26:13
Speaker 6: with Bobo, and you're gonna continue to get more Bobo
26:16
Speaker 6: as the season rolls on. But man, bumb you know
26:18
Speaker 6: what time it is, favorite favorite formation in football.
26:23
Speaker 2: Here comes the Seahawks offense onto the field and the
26:25
Speaker 2: Vikings defense crunching out there knowing that one meal down
26:31
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks are gonna wind the clock down.
26:34
Speaker 3: And win this one.
26:35
Speaker 1: It's the victory formation.
26:36
Speaker 6: On Hawk Talk, Gino Smith did his thing second half
26:41
Speaker 6: twelve to thirteen, one hundred and forty three yards, one touchdown.
26:44
Speaker 6: He was on top of his thing once again two
26:46
Speaker 6: weeks in a row. The Hawks also ran the ball
26:49
Speaker 6: really well. Rushed for one hundred and forty three yards
26:50
Speaker 6: as a team, two touchdowns. DK Metcalf had a big day,
26:53
Speaker 6: came up big with three explosive plays in the past game.
26:56
Speaker 6: I said it earlier. This team is just touching the surface,
26:59
Speaker 6: scratching the surface. When it comes to how good they
27:01
Speaker 6: can be. Offensively and they shared to show that on Sunday.
27:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, they showed him man with all those explosive with
27:06
Speaker 9: from DK and then Ken Walker. It was good, but
27:09
Speaker 9: you got a tipper hat to the old line man
27:11
Speaker 9: down three starters. They did a pretty good job against
27:15
Speaker 9: the Panthers. We talked about their box all week about
27:17
Speaker 9: how great they are even with the loss of Thompson.
27:20
Speaker 9: They look good on defensive Hawks shut down the run
27:22
Speaker 9: once again, only allowing three point one per care. They're
27:25
Speaker 9: only allowing like seventy something yards per game with a
27:27
Speaker 9: ground so far from the year. It was awesome. And
27:29
Speaker 9: then Devin Witherspoon is for real. He's gonna be here
27:33
Speaker 9: for a long time.
27:34
Speaker 8: I believe it.
27:35
Speaker 9: I know it's only been two games. I've seen enough.
27:37
Speaker 9: I'm bought in. Hopefully one of my kids. Once his jersey,
27:40
Speaker 9: I will buy it for him.
27:42
Speaker 6: Hey man, this defense is about to get healthy. Devin Witherspoon,
27:45
Speaker 6: Pete Carrolsey, Jamal Adams is going to be back. Triegu
27:47
Speaker 6: Woom might come back. You have Kuandrey Diggs ready out there,
27:50
Speaker 6: Julian Love. Now you have all the pieces there and
27:52
Speaker 6: this could get crazy, especially with the defensive line getting
27:54
Speaker 6: after the quarterback like they did last week. Eleven QB
27:58
Speaker 6: hits Danny Dalwans on a pressure all game one, sacked
28:00
Speaker 6: another three times. And the Seahawks are in great position,
28:03
Speaker 6: man bump as they go into this Giants week if
28:05
Speaker 6: they can handle this. Obviously, you're not overlooking the Giants,
28:07
Speaker 6: as you won't overlook any team in the National Football League.
28:10
Speaker 6: They can get this win, going to the bye week,
28:11
Speaker 6: get completely healthy, this team could do a lot of damage.
28:15
Speaker 4: All right, guys, appreciate you listening.

28:29
Speaker 6: edition of Hawk Talk. Seahawks beat the Panthers thirty seven
28:32
Speaker 6: to twenty seven.
