  Speaker 5: the Falcons thirty four to fourteen.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: The moon needed this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: It's been a little bit.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been it feels like a month.
• 0:46
  Speaker 7: I know, it's like we probably just hit the month,
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: but it feels like it's been a long time.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: It's a different feeling, man. I mean, I think maybe
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: that's my own energy. Maybe because I look at it
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: with a bat, I get naked and all that stuff,
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: But it's so much nicer to come in with the
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: fresh week, back on track, most importantly, back in first place.
• 1:04
  Speaker 7: First place in the division. Baby nin er siga ls
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: had the Chiefs. I'm sure we'll touch on that in
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: a little bit, but yeah, back on top of like that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: No, and it feels good. And for Seahawk fans out
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: there also, it was a nice one because we didn't sweat. Yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: we weren't sweating out there. We felt good about it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks team was in control from start to finish.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: I'd love to see that Seahawks improving to eighteen and
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: five at those ten am starts on the road.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: But let's waste no more time. Let's get right into
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: that game. What it happened.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: See what happened at first, what happened was what had
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: happened was on Hawk Talk.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Seahawks got things going on their first drive, going eleven
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: plays fifty six yards, had to settle for a field
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: goal after ken Walker touchdown was called back after a
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: questionable hole in aj burner.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: They called it, it's what it was. Seahawks had to
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: settle for three Ricky.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: Gonna learn all right, all right though it wasn't egregious, No,
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: it was agreed.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: It's as Ray was talking about it. It's tough sometimes
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: when you're not sure we're running back getting go, he
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: cuts back, you're already blocking one way. Anyway, Jason Myers
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: had his back. We get a little field goal and
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: then the next two drive would end in punts. Before
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: the Falcons will put together an eleven play drive going
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: fifty yards, but young Hoku would miss a fifty four
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: yard field goal. He's been pretty damn good the last
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: couple of years, so that was huge. The Falcons walk
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: away with no points on that drive. Then the Seahawks
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: would finally get into the end zone on the next drive,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: going five plays fifty six yards, ending with a twenty
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: yard touchdown run from ken Walker, who we're gonna talk
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: about later. Was a g for what he did on
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: today was bat him through it. It was his flu game.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: But that made the score ten nothing, yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Ten zero.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Way to bounce back and go for ken Walker to
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: get his touchdown back. You know, snashed away, you went
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: and got back the Falcons. They would answer right back
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: with a nice drive of their own, nine plays seventy
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: yards in it with a Jon Robinson five yard touchdown,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: bringing a score to ten to seven.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: We knew they weren't just gonna go away. They got
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: some weapons over there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: After two straight punts, the Seahawks will find the end
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: zone again. The Hawks got the ball with one minute
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: left and seven seconds remaining in the half, with no timeouts.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Gino would lead.
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: A sixth place sixty eight yard drive ending with a
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: dime to dk Metcalfee was a thirty one yard touchdown
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: between two defenders. Nice cover to Tampa. We'll touch on
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: that a little bit later. That made the score seventeen
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: to seven going in at halftime. Then the Falcons come out,
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: though I'm like hindsight, I can respect it, you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: because now I'm not in the game, and I'm looking
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: at the Falcons and I go all right to see
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: all y'all respond. They come out and they go down
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: the field fourteen plays, seventy nine yards. They go forward
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: on fourth down, they find Drake London in the end zone.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Kurt was seven for seven on that drive. That made
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: it seventeen to fourteen. And you feel like you're in
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: a fight right now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no question about it. The Falcons definitely weren't gonna
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: stay down for long. That was a really impressive drive.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: You mentioned it, Kirk Cousins. But the Seahawks team, they're relentless.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: They are, you know, at least every time this year,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: anytime things have gotten closer, they've gotten down, They've been
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: super resilient and come right back. This was no different.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Seahawks offense would score once again right down the field.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: As you know, Smith would connect with Ken Walker for
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: another touchdown, a great twenty yard reception over the show
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Old He was a receiver, straight receiver, making it look
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: two weasy seeks go back up by ten, making the
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: score twenty four to fourteen. Both teams would trade punts
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: in the next few possessions before the Seahawks would deliver the
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: game ceiling blow. Kirk Cousins drop back to pass was
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: strip sacked by Boy Mafy and Derek Hall picked it
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: up for thirty six yard touchdown and that made to
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: score thirty one to fourteen.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: We'll touch on that play a little later as well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Bump, but I don't know if it's been fixed yet,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: But if you go to ESPN dot com and even
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: NFL GSIS, it keeps saying that Derek called a sixty
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: four yard touchdown return really.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: And I go, hold on, am I tripping?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: And then I look back, I'm like, no, he picks
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: up the ball on the thirty six.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think they had it on the other
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: thirty six.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Okay, Well, for his contract and incentive purposes, I hope
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: they keep it at sixty four because who knows what
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: his contract says. As far as you know, Yard is
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: on sacks and returns and whatnot, So keep it sick.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: He ran it at sixty four. I mean, I don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: get wrong.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to take yards out of his you know, yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: contract pockets, all that stuff.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying I thought I was tripping because I'm like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: did he run sixteen?
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: No?
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: He definitely didn't.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: But that made to score thirty one to fourteen, bump
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: and it was pretty much it from then on.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Next two Possessions of the Falcons of wo end in
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: their possession to turnovers. Kirk Cousins was picked off by
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Julian Love and Kobe Bryant. Happy for Julian Love, even
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: happier for Kobe Bryant because the start of his career
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: has been great. Then he kind of faded away a
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: little bit with injuries. Got him back on the field.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: Jason Myers will also add a fifty nine yard field though,
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: to make the score thirty four to fourteen fifty nine.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: They lined up and it was probably good from sixty seven,
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: like he had a boot on that thing. Man, it
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: looked good. It looked good. So I was happy for
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Myers and happy for Julian and of course Kobe.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and another thing that's been huge for the Seahawks
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: recently is takeaways. Right the Seahawks, it's been hard to
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: come by. So they had three in the first game
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: and then won in the last five games.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough. That's tough.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: So that changed on Sunday.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Seox had not one, not two, but three takeaways, which
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: was great. And the Seahawks, you mentioned it, they were
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: without starting quarters Equel and Trey Brown, Rashon Jenkins with
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: tackle stone force lights. So now you're at your third
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: or fourth option to tackle. But it's a true next up,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: next up mentally, and they everyone stepped up to the play.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Michael Darrell, Josh Joe Neam, Pritchett, Kobe Bryant, you mentioned
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: all making plays all over the field, so I was
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: really good to see that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, youngsters, man Michael Drew was interested, and everything you
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: keep hearing about Michael Durell is that he's extremely athletic.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: Josh job can Live didn't know he was on the roster,
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: didn't know that the Hawks had picked him up. Glad
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: they did because he showed up and two nine was
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: out there playing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Come on some pass breakups. It was nice man. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: the run defense was an issue for the Seahawks. Hec
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: times this season. It looked like it was going to
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: be that problem again on Sunday. The Falcons running back
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: but Sean Robinson and Title Iger Are combined for one
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: hundred and seventeen yards on fifteen carries in the first half.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: After halftime, the two matters just twenty two yards on
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: six carries before the Falcons had to get pass heavy
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: while chasing a double digit deficit.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: The Hawks picked up to win three in a row.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Was a lost.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: It was hard in this building for a little bit,
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: but they went down south got it done.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Happy for him, No, absolutely, And I went on a
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: limb last week saying it was gonna look a lot better.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: You did, And I still think I'm right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I wasn't like one thousand percent, right, So they still
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: had some success in runn game, the Falcons did, yeah,
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: but the Seahawks shut him out in the second half,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: and the Seahawks as a team ran for over one
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: hundred yards. Was a far cry in the Giants in
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: the forty nine ers game. So good to see them
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: getting back on track and those you know. But what
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I love about this next segment is when we win,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of play, a.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Lot of love to go around. Playmakers, touchdown.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Playmakers to him.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: What time it is holy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: We'll start with our quarterback Geno Smith. Eighteen of twenty eight,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: two hundred seven yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions. QB rating
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: of one to ten, the highest on the season. And
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: here's what really stuck out to me, Bump. This was
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: the first time that Gino was under thirty attempts since
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Week one against the Broncos. Now, he's had some amazing
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: games and he has, I mean, he's leading the league
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: in completions and yards and all that, which I love
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: because he's capable of doing that. But when this team
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: and he's attempting twenty five to thirty passes, they're so
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: much better because that means there's balance in the game
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: and the run game house being played, house being called.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: But Gino did his thing, was efficient and honestly, when
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: you look at that eighteen of twenty eight, it really
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: could have been like twenty three of twenty eight easily.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: A couple fifty to fifty balls that weren't caught, there
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: was a drop in there, and a couple just different
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: things that happened. But he was incredibly smart with the football,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: did not turn it over, was clean, and he was
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: under a lot of pressure. I think the stats said
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: he was under pressure fifty percent of the time or
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: something like that. Now, it didn't feel that bad and
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: in that sense, but he was still it was there.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: But he's still so quick with his feed, stepping up
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: in the pocket, making play. So I loved it what
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: I saw from Gino.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: No, he looked good in the pocket. It wasn't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: I mean, we can't expect this offensive line just to
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: give him the cleanest pocket every single snap. No quarterback
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: is dropping back and everything is beautiful at times, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: that's just football. But Gino man, his presence, the way
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: he moves, he operates common to chaos.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: He does look in control as usual, and you're right.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: If he's only throwing the ball twenty eight times, that
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: means other things are working.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: But he was throwing into this man.
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: DK metcalf four receptions, ninety nine yards in one touchdown.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: He did leave the game with a knee injury, so
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: we'll see if he's okay. That third down right before
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the half, the touchdown that we're gonna go.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Over, was a receivers type of play.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: The route was on point, the spacing was on point,
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: and then Gino steps up and drops a dime. That
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: shows the chemistry and the trust between those two. DK
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: has n't have himself a good season, Number two in
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: the NFL. Right now, I'm receiving yards.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's crushing it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: And hopefully he had a little mcl injury that coach
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: McDonald spoke at the pudding today. Hopefully is not super serious.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: There's no timetable for his return right now, so hopefully DK.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: You know, as we know DK, he's gonna do anything
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: he can to get back in this lineup, So hopefully
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: he is back against the Buffalo Bills. But good to
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: see DK doing his thing. Now, let's talk about the
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: other guy, Ken Walker. Flu game, did his thing. It
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: was his birthday, super sick leading to the game, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: it was just a gutsy performance.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: And what I loved about it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: You know, he's got fourteen carries sixty nine yards, one touchdown,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: two receptions twenty four yards in a touchdown. He's now
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: tied for seventh place in franchise history twenty three rushing touchdowns,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: tied with Russell Wilson.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: And as I said, it was his full game.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: But anyone who's played this game in football and you're
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: sick and you got a flu and you don't feel
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: well and you're dehydrated, especially at that position, that it's
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: gonna be physical, you're gonna be hit on every play.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: It just shows his toughness in his dedication to this
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: team and without that being said, to still have the
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: presence of mind. He made a lot of really good
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: cuts that again, we talked about that dynamite catch over
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: the shoulders, So Ken Walker doing his thing when he
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: didn't feel good. So good job by him, Good job
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: of the offensive line, everybody picking up.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: His teammate Ki look good.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: I know, I don't want people to panic on like
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: the rushing yards right has sixty something yards, but I go,
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: if he's scoring touchdowns, we're fine, you know. And he
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: still touched the ball fourteen times, so he is still
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: a threat in the run game. But if he's scoring touchdowns,
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: I will take a seventy yard game any day of
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: the week. That's actually pretty good, all right. Next up
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant Man. He got the start because Rayshawn Jenkins
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: had he headed to the ir and he played well.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: He did disappoint He led the team with tackles eleven,
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: had an interception and a pass defendant. It's crazy. This
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: was his first career interception. I feel like he at
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: least had two. But then I remember both of those
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: were called back for some type of penalty.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: So if.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Cost him for both of them.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Hey the press, he said he's gonna hit up Puandre, Like, look, man,
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: I finally got one. But I was a little bit
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: disappointed in Kobe at first because he slid after the interception,
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: but then he said, I was gassed. I get it,
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: I get it, slide, get down. But I was happy
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: for Kobe Man. He's been one of my favorite players
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: since his rookie year. A bunch of forced fumbles when
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: he started this whole deal here. He might have he
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: might have got to sell some playing time this weekend
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: and they'll be back there with Julian Love. Julian Love
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: had nine tackles, one pass defenditant and one interception. Nice
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: to see Jay Love. Jay Love seems like he is
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: the official leader of this defense. You know, he's the mouthpiece.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: He comes out, he talks to the press. Win, loser,
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: draw does not matter. He leads by example. Jay Love
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: had himself a good game.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, both of them. I just love the motor they
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: play with.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Right, Kobe Bryant, that was a nice change, not a
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: change in the sense of from racial, but just to
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: change in the sense of like.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: He played with his hair on fire. Yeah, he was
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: going to take some shots.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: He didn't make every single tackle, but his presence was
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: going to be felt, and he was physical, And I
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: just love it when you haven't had that opportunity to
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: prepare like you're going to start, and know you're going
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: to start, it's a little different. So Kobe, he's always
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: around the football since he'd been in this league. He's
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: always in the right spot making play. So good love
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: to see from Julian and from Kobe. Then to this
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: defensive line, Draymont Jones, Derek Hall. Draymont, I think this
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: was his best game by far the entire season. He
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: was active, two jackals, two TFLs, one sack, one pass defended,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: four QB hits. He was incredibly active and that's exactly
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: what Mike McDonald wanted out of him, right, that's the
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: guy that you want. Versatile, can play most positions on
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: that front line. So Draymond was balling out. And then
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Derek Hall. The Hall has been money all season long.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: He had one tackle, one QB hit, one fumble recovery
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: obviously in the touchdown, but he had more impact on
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: this game than those numbers two because that pass for us.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins was feeling it all game long. So Derek
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: called Draymond Jones, big us, huge game.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Drey Jones man, I just remember seeing fifty five flash
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: in all the time. Five where's fifty five? It's flashing
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: across the screen. That's how you know he's getting done.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: And Derek Hallman, we spoke to him this week and
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: he seemed confident. He seemed like he understands who he is,
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: how he's gotten better, and how he's going to help
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: this football team. And that's an example right there, this
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: rally to the football, good things happen, you get a
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: scoop and score if you are d Hall. Leonard Williams
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: is a guy that does not get enough love. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: people are talking about this defensive line and they failed
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: to realize.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Is how important big Cat is.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Man three tackles, one sack, one TfL, one quarterback hit.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: He was active all night.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: I watched some of the film when I got home
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the other night, and he's just he's everywhere. He is
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: taking on doubles, he's splitting the double team. He's making
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: Kurt step up in the pocket. We know Kurt was
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: not the most mobile quarterback, so you get him to move,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: good thing is going to happen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And kat Win has been doing it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: I couldn't wait to talk about this man, Josh Joe Bigps.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: You have to give me some notes on this dude.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: And it's no disrespect to him. I just didn't know
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: much about him. And then when you start reading about him,
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: undrafted out of Philly, played for Bama, won SEC championship,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: help win a national championship. He's got that pedigree in him.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: You know that he's going to be capable of making plays.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: That's what he did. Six tackles, two passes defended, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: he filled in for Reek Wilding and Trey Brown. Those
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: are two guys that this organization's trust. So for him
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: to go out there and have a big game paddling
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: it back to him.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: You can talk about next up mentality all you want,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: but the guys have to come out there and actually
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: execute exactly. Because's a lot of positions. A lot of
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: players were like, well, they're backups for a reason. But
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: these guys came in here and there wasn't a drop
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: off in play. That's what I loved about it, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: that's goes right in. Our next guy, Michael Durell made
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: his first NFL start on the road, and first of all,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: shout out because he played D two ball. I played
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: small college football as well Division three. So any time
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: I see any guys that didn't play D one ball,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: they're balling in the NFL, I love to see it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: But to go from the.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Fields and the stadiums, in the training rooms and the
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: facilities that Michael was playing at last year, man to
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: win the National Football League to starting in Atlanta Mercedes
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Benz against Judon one of the guys that you've watched
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: growing up your whole life, and now you're playing against
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: him in the NFL, the crowd knowing, so for him
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: to go out there and do his thing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: Was he perfect? No?
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Probably not. The film probably tell you wasn't perfect. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: he did a damn good job and stood up. Gino
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Smith was sacked one time, and I just love what
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: I saw for him. He was physical, an he's athletic.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: He's an athlete. So those guys filling in, like I said,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you can have a next up mentality all you want,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: but if you don't perform, it doesn't matter. These guys perform.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: They did exactly what the team needed him to do,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: and I just love to see it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: He was involved with one of the bigger runs of
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: the game, twenty yard touchdown Ken Walker, him and Christian Haynes. Yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: the Rocks, the rookie right side got it done.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Man soup. That was fun.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Let's get to this wide receiver round out run through
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: some numbers real quick mentioned DK. He was four receptions
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: for ninety nine yards on long of thirty five. No offense.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Six weeks in a row now, No, five weeks in
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: a row now he's been perfect when it comes to
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: targets and receptions. The first two games, I think he
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: was like one for two and then one for three.
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: Then after that he's been perfect. He had four targets,
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: four receptions for sixty five yards. Second game in a
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: row where he's had sixty plus yards. Tyler Lockett four
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: cats for forty five, Ken Walker two for twenty four.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Smith then jig But three for nine, but also had
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: a pass a completion.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, he's a DK. Big play there. That was funny.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: I was telling one of my friends, you put a
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: receiver on a double pass. He is throwing the football.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: He threw it in double covers. Jackson Smith and Jegg
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: Will was throwing that thing. Barner had won for five
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: and then Sharpa they had a reception as well.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: No, that's the other thing too, is like it's almost
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: like if you call that play, no, that ball's getting
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: thrown it. So if you're no doubt, if you're the
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: intended target, you better run down there and do your thing.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: Because hey, deg had to make a catch too. Oh boy,
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: you had to make a catch. I love what we
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: saw from DK that that was That was dope. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: speaking of DK we've alluded to it all show. One
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: of the biggest plays in the game was before halftime.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: The Seahawks did not have a time out, march down
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: the field and get a huge touchdown before the end
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: of the half, making the score seventeen seven.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: That's when Gino Smith locked in with DK met Calf.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Third down in fifteen Gino from the shotgun, three man rush.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Gino steps up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: He's gonna throw thet K.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: He's got it. Touchdown Shayhawks. What a bullet thrown by
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Jeno Smith.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Dk Metcalf again between two defenders underneath the goalposts makes
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the reception on an absolute dime from thirty one out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Holy Catfish want to play.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: By the Hawks.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: They make it sixteen to seven, and the fans here
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta are just stunned.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: They go to that Holy Catfish.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: He know it's a big play when Raves say that,
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: let's set it up.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Man. So you got Gino in the shotgun position.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: He has a tight end to the right of them
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: and running back to the left just for some protection purposes.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Doubt that the Falcons were gonna bring pressure in this situation,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: but just in case to the right, as you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: you have two receivers, and you got DK to the
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: left of them by himself. The falcons are in a
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: too high shell. They're gonna end up dropping into a
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Tampa two.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: That just means that Michael Lionbacker drops into the middle
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: of the field.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So DK does a great job.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: He's isold, he's by himself right, and he has a post,
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: so he inside releases on the corner, and then at
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: the top of his route, he leans to the left
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: to widen that safety. The safety is responsible for his
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: deep half of the field, so anything pushing to us
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: outside he has to respect. DK, being a route runner,
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: does exactly that, leans to the left boom, then snaps it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: Gino does a great job stepping up inside the pocket
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: and delivering a good shot. Good job by the other side.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: You have a corner trying to take the other safety
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: out the play. That safety doesn't bite too much. But
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: because Gino did such a great job moving that other safety,
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Gino puts into a spot where only not only where
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: he can get it, but just the only place he
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: can put it. When DK catches the football, there are
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: four defenders around him that could possibly make that play.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: So this just shows great chemistry great understanding of coverage
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: and Geno with that pocket presence and is throwing a dime.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great by everybody. That's great called by Ryan Grubb.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: This great execution by Geno Smith and DK Metcalf. You
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: talked about stemming that safeties in that cover two look
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: and he doesn't get turn his hips and run over.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: He takes just one step, gets too much and he
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: can't recover a safety. The other side can't make that play.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: So that's just that's his years of practice. Hear those
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: guys getting after it and doing good work. So that
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: was another big play.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: The other big player.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: We're gonna look at us boy Mafey's strip sack of
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins that he picked back up and ran for
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: a touchdown.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Boy A mafe isn't there at an inside rushing position.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Robinson stays in.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: The backfield for Atlanta.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Cousins scrambles left side, gets hit, goes down. My football
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: comes down, ball rolling picked up farth side, gets haul.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Down the far side.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Lunch, He's gonna score touchdown, say Hawks. Derek Hole on
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: the sack by boy A mofing, Cousins coughs it up
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: and Hall goes the distance.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: The second year linebacker ound of Auburn.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: He probably has a sweet full of family and friends
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: here watching.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Cousins had nowhere to go with the ball.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: It's knocked away from Cousins by Boy, picked up, and
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Hall takes it thirty six for the touchdown. The Seahawks
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: up thirty to fourteen.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: I'll start on the back game when he comes to
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: this man, I know the box got it done, but
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: the backend really held it down. You got too high
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: safety look as well. We just talked about the Falcons
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: into too high. Look the Hawks running too high. Look,
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: you got your Terrell Dowson drops into the middle of
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: the field looking to rob and he crossed or anything
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: But now let's get to the box. And this was
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: this was fun to see.
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: You have Derek Hall to the left, you have Boy
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: and Mafey lined up in like the three technique. You
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: have Byron Murphy after one. You got Dotson at at
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: like a foster. He's walking up, walking up, but he's
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: gonna show pressure. And Draymond Jones on the outside. All
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: these guys work together. Derek Hall firing off the football
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: and just bitch pressing a grown man into the backfield.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: On the other side, you got Draymond Jones. His approach
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: is a little different. He give a little wiggle, try
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: to get you off off bounce and boom, he drives
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: that tackle into the backfield. Kirk Cousins has nowhere to go.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: At the same time, you got boy of Mafy and
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: it looks like they're stunting. It looks like there's a
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: twist with with Boia Mafe and Bira Murphy.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Boom. You confuse the offensive lineman there.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: And now this is all desire man, because Kirk Cousins
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: has to get out of the pocket. You got boy
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: a Mafe using a speed closing in on him, hitting
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: the ball out of his hand as he tries to throw.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: And this is why you rally to the football. De
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: Hall picks it up. He's gone and guests, who throws
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: just enough of a block on a big old tackle.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: You got a little spoon out there making sure the
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: Hall gets into the end zone.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: The thing I love about this about this play and
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: bump you were a high school coach.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: You've done it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: My old high school coach, Mark Stewart is now coaching
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Evert high school shoutout coach too.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: This is a play I feel like if I was
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: in high school, we will be watching the next day.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Oh you want to talk about effort?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Uh huh.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon, when that ball is sack fumbled, he's in coverage,
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: he's about twenty yards away from the football. Great and
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: he just puts on another gear. And that's whether you're right.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: I think this play. There's a play like this happened
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago. I want to say it
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: was in the Red River shootout game. I feel like
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: a Texas receiver did the same thing. Whether you're running
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: down there to celebrate or not, it is effort. You
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: can't teach that. Like coaches hope that you have that
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: kind of effort. Either have or you don't. And the
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: way Spoon plays the game of football, it's at that
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: level one and he gets going and like you said,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: that's a big offensive lineman. He gets just enough of
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: him because if he doesn't do that, the lineman can
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: push Derek call at a bounce. It's not a touchdown,
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: but he gets money, whether it's to celebrate or get
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: after it. He just sees a ball on the ground
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: and he has that INSCT and he is gone. So
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: that's teach tape if you're a young player out there,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: and then anywhere you play, that's pee wee football, JV
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: varsity college, that's how you play the game of football.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: That's a hell of an effort, which brings us to
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: our favorite formation. We didn't see it for a couple
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: weeks in a while, but we're back in at victory formation.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Here comes the Seahawk offense onto the field and the
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Vikings defense crunching out there knowing that one meal down
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: and the Seahawks are gonna wind the clock down and
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: win this one.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: It's the victory formation on Hawk Talk.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Seahawks back in the win calling again with an impressed
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: victory or the Falcons thirty four to fourteen. The Seahawks
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: got an early lead and never gave it up. That's
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: how it's hard to underest meate how important it is
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: to play with the lead. It is what you can
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: do defensively, how you're calling the game on offense, it's
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: completely different then when you're down twenty points and you're
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: one dimensional and you're trying, you're taking chances at you
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: and stuff you wouldn't normally do. Get outside yourself. Seahawks
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: played with the lead, and it was really good to see.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: Could you imagine now a football game is nothing but stress,
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: that's all it is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Who can execute under stress?
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: But the stress Grub has been calling plays under the
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: past few weeks has been crazy. I'm sure my man
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: was like, this feels a lot better. I'm still stressed
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: out because that's football, right right, make sure things are
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: on point. But man having the lead, he's the first
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: person I thought about it. I go, look how different
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: the game looks and feels when you're calling plays with
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: the lead. So big upside to gruts Man and a
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: lot of guys can contributed to this thing we talked about.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Michael Jerald got a D two football man seventh round pick.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: He contributed.
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: Kobe Bryant Man, he was a Jim Thorpe Award winner
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: over there at Cincinnati Man, Josh Joe, an undrafted guy,
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Niam Pritchett. I mean it was nice to say names
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: of guys that we haven't said often. I was a
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: bit nervous at first because you never know what you're
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: gonna get. But all these dudes stepped up and played well.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: Then of course Gino did not turn the football over.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: That was clutch.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, next man up to these guys meant something. They
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: took care of business, do you know, taking care of
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: the football? Huge, huge, huge Seahawks running for over one
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: hundred yards another thing they need to see. And I
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: thought the defense took strides man. The run defense still
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: isn't perfect, but in the second half they shut it down.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Two really good backs and the Seahawks finished the day
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: with three takeaways.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Bump, come on now, huge.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Game coming up.

  Speaker 1: Bump.

  Speaker 6: How we fiilm about the Bills early.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Previews and hey, Bill's they do have Amari Cooper. Now
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen has a number one weapon. He has not
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: turned the football over in the past game I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: fumbled a football. But he looks good to start the season.
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: He was a favorite to win MVP. They stumbled a bit,
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: but they have a good culture, good foundation over there.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a tough one.
• 25:07
