Speaker 1: I can't tell you. I know that what the reports
1:26
Speaker 1: are coming out that he's in great shape and ready
1:28
Speaker 1: to go. I don't know what that means until we
1:30
Speaker 1: get him on the field and if he's cleared tomorrow,
1:34
Speaker 1: then we'll start to get some work from him. And
1:35
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what that means. Clarity for you
1:38
Speaker 1: just on the table, what the actual issue was or
1:41
Speaker 1: why was this one he did? He did have some
1:43
Speaker 1: issues from the concussion that he had and some visual
1:46
Speaker 1: things that he was working on, and that's what he's
1:47
Speaker 1: been he's been focusing on. On the positive side, the
1:50
Speaker 1: Seahawks should have Darryl Taylor and Damian knew Us back
1:52
Speaker 1: on the field this Sunday. The early indication is Daryl's
1:55
Speaker 1: is really ready to get back in. Damien looks like
1:58
Speaker 1: he's I mean, that's why they're talking. They're really counting
2:01
Speaker 1: making them back to play, which is a nice boost
2:04
Speaker 1: for us. All right, bump, Now we got the injuries,
2:06
Speaker 1: It's time to jump into the seahawks Week eight opponent.
2:09
Speaker 1: That is the Jacksonville Jaguars. What's on tap? What's on tap?
2:16
Speaker 1: The Seahawks facing the one in five Jacksonville Jaguars. They've
2:20
Speaker 1: had a rough go as of late. They opened the
2:23
Speaker 1: season losing to the Houston Texans, the Denver Broncos, the
2:26
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Tennessee Titans. Finally snapping
2:32
Speaker 1: their losing streak with a twenty three to twenty win
2:34
Speaker 1: over the Miami Dolphins. They're coming off a bye week.
2:37
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, they got their first win of the
2:39
Speaker 1: season last week. Now, the Jags have really been through
2:43
Speaker 1: some stuff. Jack fans out there, I feel for you.
2:45
Speaker 1: I know Seahawk fans right now are thinking they're really
2:47
Speaker 1: going through it. But these this fan base has really
2:49
Speaker 1: been through it. If you include what happened to start
2:53
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Jacksonville won their first game, then lost the
2:56
Speaker 1: next fifteen. Open this year, losing five straight brought their
3:00
Speaker 1: losing streak to twenty straight games. That's the second longest
3:04
Speaker 1: active streak in the Super Bowl era. And they didn't
3:06
Speaker 1: win a game for three hundred and ninety nine days,
3:12
Speaker 1: which isn't unbelievably longing him out of sign Bowls. Get
3:15
Speaker 1: into their last game against the Dolphins, they had helped
3:18
Speaker 1: end this losing streak, and not in a conventional way.
3:21
Speaker 1: It came from the foot of a software engineer turn
3:24
Speaker 1: kicker Matthew Wright, who hit this fifty three yard field goal.
3:28
Speaker 1: You can't freeze them. The Dolphins are out of timehouts.
3:30
Speaker 1: Here we go, fifty three yarder from the right hash
3:33
Speaker 1: out of the hold of Logan Cup. Matthew Wright Cup
3:36
Speaker 1: put it down Right, kicks it up the fifty three
3:39
Speaker 1: yard or is good good good? Right has made it.
3:45
Speaker 1: The Jaguards have wanted one of fifty three yard field
3:49
Speaker 1: goal by Matthew Right. What a magnificent ending in London,
3:57
Speaker 1: Holy cow wow. Three hundred and ninety nine days ago
4:03
Speaker 1: was the last Jaguars win against Indianapolis. Here in Jacksonville
4:09
Speaker 1: where we're broadcasting from the twenty game losing streak has
4:13
Speaker 1: come to an end. How about this young kicker Matthew Right,
4:17
Speaker 1: who absolutely drilled it now, bump Head, coach of Remyer
4:23
Speaker 1: said after the game. I don't think anybody on our
4:25
Speaker 1: team ever heard him speak till about ten minutes ago.
4:28
Speaker 1: Literally was selling software a couple of weeks before hitting
4:31
Speaker 1: that clutch field goal, getting the monkey off the back.
4:34
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars have won a game, snapping a three
4:37
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine days streak of losing. So bump Man,
4:40
Speaker 1: let's get into these Jaguars. They're they're riding high, they're
4:43
Speaker 1: coming off of buy, they're feeling good about themselves. They
4:45
Speaker 1: finally won a game. Let's get in this head to head.
4:47
Speaker 1: What what'd you see from these guys so far this year?
4:51
Speaker 1: The Jaguars, this is a sneaky team because to Matthew
4:54
Speaker 1: Rifer coming off the bench selling software. Now you're making
4:56
Speaker 1: game winning field goals. You're part of the NFL. Welcome.
5:00
Speaker 1: But specifically, man, these guys, like you mentioned, they're one
5:02
Speaker 1: in five total offense, they're ranked number fifteen. I watched
5:05
Speaker 1: filming these guys and they do some interesting things that
5:07
Speaker 1: will throw the football. They can run it tenth when
5:09
Speaker 1: it comes to rushing the rock one hundred and twenty
5:11
Speaker 1: one yards per game nineteenth when throwing the ball two
5:14
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four yards per game in total points
5:18
Speaker 1: nineteen point three. That's where the Hawks had the edge
5:20
Speaker 1: really when it comes to scoring points. Defensively, these guys
5:23
Speaker 1: are thirtieth overall, so it's really gonna come down to
5:26
Speaker 1: these defenses. Thankfully, the Seahawks defense seemed like they turned
5:29
Speaker 1: the corner, had the best game of the year this
5:32
Speaker 1: last week. Let's see if they can repeat it against
5:34
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. They're gonna have a couple of guys have
5:35
Speaker 1: to look after the four now we're gonna touch on
5:37
Speaker 1: them during the matchup portion of this deal only two interceptions,
5:42
Speaker 1: so if you take care of the full ball, you
5:43
Speaker 1: toss it around. It seems like they're not gonna really
5:45
Speaker 1: be active when it comes to taking the football away
5:47
Speaker 1: when it's in the air. But this is the NFL.
5:49
Speaker 1: This is a team that you have to respect and offensively,
5:52
Speaker 1: on paper, it says they are better than your Seattle Seahawks. Yeah. Man,
5:58
Speaker 1: I was shocked when I looked at this head had comparison. Initially, I,
6:01
Speaker 1: you know, knowing what we know about the Jaguars they
6:03
Speaker 1: started the season o and five, I just assume that
6:05
Speaker 1: they're at the bottom of near every category. That is
6:08
Speaker 1: not the case. You mentioned it. You watch film on them.
6:10
Speaker 1: They do some interesting stuff. Offensively, they got some good weapons,
6:13
Speaker 1: and the thing that's really killing them right now, bump
6:15
Speaker 1: is turnover differential. They're minus ten, tied for thirty first
6:18
Speaker 1: in National Football League. So that's what's really killing them.
6:21
Speaker 1: Other than that they're doing okay. I mean, Trevor Lawrence
6:24
Speaker 1: only been sacked ten times this season. They're okay in
6:27
Speaker 1: time possession. They're allowing a decent amount of points. Defensively,
6:31
Speaker 1: they're good at stopping the run. They're about middle of
6:33
Speaker 1: the pack, I should say, giving up one hundred and
6:34
Speaker 1: fourteen yards per game. So this team, you know, it's
6:39
Speaker 1: one of those things where I think a lot of
6:40
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans look at the smatchup and say, this is
6:42
Speaker 1: a game the Seahawks absolutely should win, and I agree
6:45
Speaker 1: with you, but it's going to be close, and people think, man,
6:48
Speaker 1: these Jaguars are one to five. But it is the
6:49
Speaker 1: National Football League. Weirder things can't happen in the Seahawks
6:53
Speaker 1: office is coming off a losing streak. It was a
6:54
Speaker 1: huge game here, so we'll see what we can get
6:57
Speaker 1: into there. But before we get into all these matchups,
7:00
Speaker 1: it's time to know our history, no your history. Seahawks
7:05
Speaker 1: lea the all time series five to three. Last meeting
7:08
Speaker 1: was a thirty to twenty four loss in Jacksonville in
7:11
Speaker 1: December tenth, twenty seventeen. That Seahawks loss was on the
7:14
Speaker 1: heels of a thrilling win over event eventual Super Bowl champion,
7:17
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately, this is where the Seahawks season
7:21
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen went off. The rails Seahawks lost three
7:23
Speaker 1: or four games and that was the only season Russell
7:25
Speaker 1: Wilson and missed the playoffs. That twenty seventeen team was good.
7:30
Speaker 1: It's crazy, I think that wasn't that long ago that
7:32
Speaker 1: those Jacksonville Jaguars were in the AFC Championship Game, playing
7:36
Speaker 1: a close game, lost to Tom Brady and the Patriots.
7:40
Speaker 1: As far as that game, Russell Wilson seventeen to thirty
7:42
Speaker 1: one two and seventy one yards, three touchdowns, also through
7:45
Speaker 1: three picks. Tyler Lockett had ninety yards in a touchdown,
7:48
Speaker 1: Mike Davis fifteen carries sixty six yards, and the Seahawks
7:52
Speaker 1: closed a gap to within six that day, but unfortunately,
7:57
Speaker 1: on their last offensive drive, Paul Richardson got held. It
8:00
Speaker 1: was an egregious call. They didn't call it um they
8:03
Speaker 1: had a punt and two in possession. Seas gave up
8:05
Speaker 1: a long rush on third and eleven to Leonard Fournette
8:07
Speaker 1: to steal the game. But the fun fact about that
8:10
Speaker 1: game was that was the first time we welcome in
8:12
Speaker 1: Michael Bumps to our broadcast team. You're the rough start, thought, Hey,
8:17
Speaker 1: it was the roughest starting broadcast in history. I feel like, man,
8:20
Speaker 1: I feel like I was like the battluck Charma. I'm like,
8:21
Speaker 1: these guys got me on the team and we're losing baggins. Yeah,
8:25
Speaker 1: first first time it was it was good. It was good. Yeah.
8:28
Speaker 1: I mean it went in Jacksonville, then it went that
8:30
Speaker 1: dreaded ram scam. Then we won one on Christmas Eve
8:33
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys, and then we lost to the Cardinals.
8:35
Speaker 1: I think Blair missed the last second field will lose
8:37
Speaker 1: that game. So rough start, But it's not how you start,
8:39
Speaker 1: as Peak here always says how you finished. So man,
8:43
Speaker 1: speaking of finishing man, the NFC West is continuing to
8:47
Speaker 1: do really good things. What's the word and the Seahawks
8:54
Speaker 1: for the NFC West Champs again, what's the word in
8:58
Speaker 1: the West? On? Hot talk at top of the NHT
9:03
Speaker 1: West stairs on, the Cardinals are still undefeated at seven
9:07
Speaker 1: and oh. The Los Angeles Rams are six and one,
9:09
Speaker 1: San Francis two and four, and the Seahawks are at
9:12
Speaker 1: the bottom at two and five. I'm sorry, it just
9:16
Speaker 1: hurts to say that allowed two and five. Come on,
9:19
Speaker 1: let's get it right. Let's talk about these Cardinals though.
9:21
Speaker 1: Man Cardinals beat the Texans thirty one to five. They
9:23
Speaker 1: started off slow, We're down five to zero, but then
9:26
Speaker 1: guy things going thirty one unanswered points. Kyler Murray had
9:29
Speaker 1: another solid day twenty of twenty eight twenty sixty one yards,
9:33
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, one interceptions. Running Back Chase Edmans led all
9:36
Speaker 1: rushes with eighty one yards and fifteen carriages. James Connor
9:39
Speaker 1: contributed as well, sixty four carries I mean SI sixty
9:42
Speaker 1: four yards and ten carries in one touchdown. Zach Ertz
9:45
Speaker 1: makes a splash with his debut three receptions sixty six yards,
9:49
Speaker 1: including a forty seven yard touchdown. AJ Green is consistent
9:54
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have these huge games, but he'll put
9:56
Speaker 1: up some numbers three receptions sixty six yards. On defense,
9:59
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons led the Cardinals with eight tackles and one
10:01
Speaker 1: tackle for loss. The Texans only had one hundred and
10:04
Speaker 1: sixty total yards of offense, eight first downs, and we're
10:07
Speaker 1: two or thirteen on third downs. When you put those
10:10
Speaker 1: numbers of you're not gonna win a lot of games.
10:12
Speaker 1: Week after week, the Cardinals proved that not only do
10:15
Speaker 1: they have the best record in the NFL, but they're
10:17
Speaker 1: legit Super Bowl contenders. They play the Packers tomorrow on
10:19
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football and will likely be big favorites, as
10:21
Speaker 1: the Packers have been hit with some COVID issues playing
10:24
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, Alan Lazade and on the COVID nineteen lists.
10:28
Speaker 1: And I think this is going to be Like I
10:31
Speaker 1: already believe in the Cardinals right. Every week we try
10:34
Speaker 1: to find reasons not to. But I don't care who
10:37
Speaker 1: the Packers have out. If they beat the Packers this year,
10:40
Speaker 1: this week, that's a signature win. I mean, they played
10:43
Speaker 1: some good games, good ball this year, but you take
10:45
Speaker 1: down an organization like the Packers, people on the East
10:49
Speaker 1: Coast got to start paying attention. Yeah, man, I mean
10:52
Speaker 1: I don't think you can find a way to devalue
10:54
Speaker 1: these guys anymore. I mean it's they're undefeated. It counts
10:58
Speaker 1: obviously on the scoreboard, and they're finding from ways to win.
11:00
Speaker 1: Last week, they didn't have their coach, they missed a
11:02
Speaker 1: bunch of people on from the COVID nineteen lists. That
11:05
Speaker 1: didn't affect them. They beat a good Browns team and
11:07
Speaker 1: they're still playing good ball. Man. I think Kyler Murray
11:10
Speaker 1: and those guys are scary when you watch them there.
11:12
Speaker 1: They play fast, they got a lot of speed. It's
11:15
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, and I don't like the Seahawks still
11:17
Speaker 1: have to play them two more times this year. Obviously
11:20
Speaker 1: a lot of season left, but the Cardinals are gotta
11:24
Speaker 1: believe in the man. I mean they're seven and noble
11:25
Speaker 1: seat because even if they fall off, I mean, they're
11:27
Speaker 1: still gonna win twelve games. I mean, even if they
11:30
Speaker 1: really hit the kids, I still think they're gonna win
11:31
Speaker 1: at least twelve games. So we'll see here. Other team
11:34
Speaker 1: in the division, Los Angeles Rams. They also kept the
11:36
Speaker 1: good times rolling as they beat the Lions twenty eight
11:38
Speaker 1: to nineteen in the Battle of quarterbacks. Playing against their
11:41
Speaker 1: former team, This game was not a walk in the
11:43
Speaker 1: park for the Rams, however, taking on these winless lines,
11:47
Speaker 1: Lines pulled out all the stops. Two fake months, got
11:50
Speaker 1: some first downs, he had punters throwing the ball, you
11:52
Speaker 1: got direct snaps going every which way. So they tried
11:55
Speaker 1: to keep it close man, and they did. Early in
11:57
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the Lines trailed twenty five to nineteen,
12:00
Speaker 1: Jared Goff lol the lines on a fifteen place sixty
12:02
Speaker 1: three yard drive but was picked off by Jalen Ramsey
12:06
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Effectively, and in that threat, Goff
12:09
Speaker 1: was you know, golf twenty two thirty six two hundred
12:12
Speaker 1: and sixty eight yards, one touchdown, but through two costly interceptions.
12:16
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, who's facing his old team as well, fared
12:18
Speaker 1: much better, going twenty eight for forty one, three hundred
12:21
Speaker 1: and thirty four yards and three touchdowns. And you're a guy,
12:25
Speaker 1: Cooper cup Man, no stopping this dude. Ten reception two
12:29
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six yards, two touchdowns, leads the NFL
12:32
Speaker 1: and receiving with fifty six receptions in eight hundred and
12:36
Speaker 1: nine yards nine touchdowns. Putting that perspective, He's currently on
12:39
Speaker 1: pace for two thousand yards bout man Cooper Cup. He
12:46
Speaker 1: needs to be in the conversation. Everyone talks about Hopkins,
12:50
Speaker 1: even young dudes like Cede Lamb. I don't hear Cooper
12:53
Speaker 1: Cup's name mentioned enough. This guy does everything well. I
12:57
Speaker 1: know this is the Seahall broadcast, but you gotta show
13:00
Speaker 1: love when guys are balling all right next to the
13:03
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Man, they're the only other team in
13:05
Speaker 1: this league or this division that struggling like the Seahawks
13:08
Speaker 1: are struggling. They lost to the Colts thirty to eighteen
13:10
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football. Weather conditions were crazy. Actually flew
13:14
Speaker 1: out of sand fran that day and the plane ride
13:17
Speaker 1: was crazy. So when I turned on the film and
13:20
Speaker 1: I saw the monsoon they were playing in, it made
13:22
Speaker 1: a whole lot of sense. Jimmy Garoppolo was sixteen to
13:25
Speaker 1: twenty seven, one hundred eighty one yards, one touchdown, two
13:28
Speaker 1: interceptions and a fumble loss. Elijah Mitchell had a good
13:30
Speaker 1: game one hundred and seven yards on the eighteen carries
13:32
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Deebo Samuel another good young receiver in
13:36
Speaker 1: this league. Seven receptions, one hundred yards, one touchdown. He
13:39
Speaker 1: did have two costly mistakes I believe he fumbled the
13:42
Speaker 1: football one time, and then there's another one where it
13:45
Speaker 1: hit him in the chest. Pops up, Indianapolis takes over
13:48
Speaker 1: the rock. The Niners were up twenty to eighteen with
13:50
Speaker 1: thirteen minutes left in the fourth quarter after Savon scored
13:54
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The Colt's answer would a field goal, but
13:56
Speaker 1: then Jimmy g through two straight interceptions and ended the
13:59
Speaker 1: forty Niners chances. I know people in San Franz would
14:03
Speaker 1: love to see Trey Lands, but look, take it easy
14:07
Speaker 1: at this point of the season. I think you ride
14:09
Speaker 1: with Jimmy g you let this young man develop. Remember
14:12
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Remember and Rogers those guys. Those guys took
14:16
Speaker 1: the back seat and kind of waited their turn. But
14:18
Speaker 1: end of the day, Kyle Shanahan's gonna have to answer
14:20
Speaker 1: these questions. People are gonna ask him, when are you
14:22
Speaker 1: gonna see Trey Lands? How do you feel about Jimmy?
14:24
Speaker 1: Every week until they start winning, That's gonna be the question.
14:28
Speaker 1: Next week the four Nineers, we'll headed to Chicago to
14:30
Speaker 1: take on Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears. Yeah. Man,
14:34
Speaker 1: I mean those questions aren't gonna go away, especially it
14:36
Speaker 1: doesn't make it any easier when you're not winning games.
14:38
Speaker 1: They're on a four game losing streak, so it'll be
14:40
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens down there in San Francisco.
14:42
Speaker 1: But I totally agree. I think Shanahan's doing the right
14:44
Speaker 1: thing as of now, Like, let let Jimmy g take
14:48
Speaker 1: this and if they're not playing well, take these bullets
14:50
Speaker 1: and let let Tray develop. I mean, if he's gonna
14:52
Speaker 1: be your franchise quarterback, there's not really a rush you
14:54
Speaker 1: get him out there, especially on the team that's struggling
14:56
Speaker 1: right now. So interesting to see. But let's go back
14:59
Speaker 1: to of these Jacksonville Jaguars and man up this man
15:10
Speaker 1: up on Hawk Talk. Man up. Let's look at some
15:14
Speaker 1: of these matchups. The first one is Trevor Lawrence versus
15:17
Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense. This guy is not used to losing.
15:20
Speaker 1: What lost once or twice at Clemson in high school,
15:22
Speaker 1: he didn't lose very often. But it's been a rough
15:24
Speaker 1: start to his career overall. But we kind of expected
15:27
Speaker 1: that when you're going to the Jacksonville Jaguars. But he
15:29
Speaker 1: did snap a fifteen game losing streak for that NFL
15:33
Speaker 1: franchise on the season, Lawrence is one twenty nine for
15:36
Speaker 1: two sixteen one hundred excuse me, fourteen hundred sixty five yards,
15:39
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, eight interceptions, and has been sacked ten times.
15:43
Speaker 1: He's completing under sixty percent of his passes. That's kind
15:46
Speaker 1: of the mark where you want to be at. You
15:48
Speaker 1: want your quarterbacks to be around well, great quarterbacks higher sixties,
15:51
Speaker 1: but as long as you're above sixty percent, you're competing
15:54
Speaker 1: with the league. He has twenty one carries for one
15:56
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
15:58
Speaker 1: He needs to do a better job. I'm taking care
16:00
Speaker 1: of the football though the Jaguars are thirty first in
16:02
Speaker 1: the NFL and turnover differential. This guy needs to play better.
16:08
Speaker 1: But I think Jacksonville and the organization understands that he's
16:12
Speaker 1: a rookie and it's gonna take a few years to
16:16
Speaker 1: kind of put everything in place for this young man
16:18
Speaker 1: to really be the guy that I see on tape mass.
16:21
Speaker 1: I see a guy who can throw the football. I
16:22
Speaker 1: see a guy who's athletic. I see a guy who
16:24
Speaker 1: understands the offense. But I see a rookie. With all
16:27
Speaker 1: that being said, yeah, no, I mean it's you got
16:29
Speaker 1: to think about all the factors he has going against him.
16:31
Speaker 1: He's obviously a first round pick in the league, but
16:34
Speaker 1: he's in the NFL for the first time. He's got
16:35
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator, a new system, a new head coach,
16:38
Speaker 1: all these moving parts. They're trying to start things over
16:41
Speaker 1: there in Jacksonville. So I totally get that. I think
16:43
Speaker 1: we've seen, we know that, everyone knows he has the
16:45
Speaker 1: tools everywhere. He has the arm, talent, their strength, all
16:47
Speaker 1: that good stuff. So he just needs to do a
16:50
Speaker 1: better job of taking over taking care of the football,
16:52
Speaker 1: as you mentioned. But he's a good player, and the
16:54
Speaker 1: Seahawks are going to have, you know, have their hands
16:56
Speaker 1: full with Trevor Lawrence. Defensively, the Seahawks are coming off
16:58
Speaker 1: their best performance to these season, as we mentioned earlier
17:01
Speaker 1: in the podcast. Only allowed three hundred and four yards
17:04
Speaker 1: of offense last week and thirteen points against New Orleans.
17:07
Speaker 1: Those were both season lows. Now the Seahawks, we look
17:10
Speaker 1: at the head to head stuff. They're still thirty first
17:12
Speaker 1: in National Football League when it comes to yard allowed
17:14
Speaker 1: at four hundred and fourteen per game, but that is
17:17
Speaker 1: still a huge improvement over the last two weeks. Heading
17:20
Speaker 1: into the Steelers game, the Seahawks were giving up four
17:22
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards a game, So at least we're
17:24
Speaker 1: starting to see that trend come back the other way.
17:26
Speaker 1: The Seahawks were playing much better on that side of
17:28
Speaker 1: the ball, and they're gonna need to because as this
17:31
Speaker 1: Jacksonville offense isn't that bad man, they're fifteenth in the league,
17:34
Speaker 1: they're head of the Seahawks in terms of total offense,
17:36
Speaker 1: so they're definitely can't take these guys lightly. Now on
17:40
Speaker 1: the other side, our quarterback at Geno Smith versus Jags defense.
17:44
Speaker 1: Gino he's done a solid job, I mean, subbing in
17:48
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. He hasn't let the world on fire,
17:51
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been terrible either, you know, limited action
17:53
Speaker 1: this year two full games and essentially a quarter in
17:56
Speaker 1: some change. Geno's forty five or seventy one for five,
18:00
Speaker 1: one hundred and seven yards, three touchdowns, one interception, and
18:04
Speaker 1: one of the main issues honestly for him so far
18:06
Speaker 1: bump has been the sacks. He's been sacks ten times
18:08
Speaker 1: already and he's only played a couple of games. Russell
18:12
Speaker 1: Wilson had only been had been sacked thirteen times and
18:15
Speaker 1: his five games played. So it's gotten bad the last
18:18
Speaker 1: two weeks, and I think that's a team effort thing.
18:21
Speaker 1: I think some are on Gino. I think some of
18:22
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think there's some miscommunication issues. But
18:25
Speaker 1: that's one thing that I think needs to be cleaned
18:27
Speaker 1: up this week because he can't he can't take those sacks, Soo.
18:30
Speaker 1: Sacks are drive killers. We need to get the ball
18:32
Speaker 1: out fast. There needs be better communication. When you have
18:35
Speaker 1: five guys there and the defense is bringing six, you
18:38
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way, if there's a hot
18:39
Speaker 1: route or whatever it is, to get the ball out
18:41
Speaker 1: of the hand. So hopefully they can improve on that
18:44
Speaker 1: this week. But I have a feeling bump that this
18:47
Speaker 1: is Geno's week, all right, Land, it could be his week.
18:52
Speaker 1: You know, the Jaguars defense, they're not great. They're ranked
18:55
Speaker 1: thirtieth in the NFL when it comes to the the total defense,
18:57
Speaker 1: give enough four hunt into twelve yards per game. They've
18:59
Speaker 1: all also I struggled against the past, the ranked thirty
19:02
Speaker 1: first in the NFL giving up two hundred and ninety
19:04
Speaker 1: seven yards per game, and they also have done a
19:06
Speaker 1: poor job getting after the quarterback. They only have a
19:08
Speaker 1: total of eight sacks in the six games, so there's
19:10
Speaker 1: reasons for you to be optimistic. I think Gino's due, man,
19:15
Speaker 1: He's due. He's been through a lot so far as
19:17
Speaker 1: had a chance to win the ball game has to
19:19
Speaker 1: come through us. Thrown interceptions, has been sacked. It's time
19:22
Speaker 1: for Gino. I wouldn't say to grow up because he's
19:24
Speaker 1: a he's a veteran in this league, but have his moment.
19:27
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's make sure he has his moment this week. Absolutely,
19:30
Speaker 1: we need to give Gino his flowers and I'm hoping
19:32
Speaker 1: it's after Sunday on Halloween. Trigger Tree, let's get Let's
19:36
Speaker 1: get something nice man, please, g you know we got
19:38
Speaker 1: faith in you. Bro, got faith. Next matchup, James Robinson
19:41
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks front seven. James Robinson sneaky good running back.
19:45
Speaker 1: He's leading the tenth best rushing attack in the National
19:48
Speaker 1: Football League. The Jags are rushing for one hundred and
19:51
Speaker 1: twenty yards per game. James Robinson on the year eighty
19:54
Speaker 1: four carries four hundred and sixty yards, five touchdowns, seventeen
19:57
Speaker 1: receptions out of the backfield one hundred and sixteen yards
20:00
Speaker 1: twenty four first downs rushing this season, and he's coming
20:04
Speaker 1: off a great rookie campaign. We rushed for a thousand
20:07
Speaker 1: and seventy yards seven touchdowns in his rookie season. Bump
20:10
Speaker 1: he mentioned their running game. What you've seen? What are
20:12
Speaker 1: they doing offensively that you like in terms of the
20:15
Speaker 1: running game, Man, I want to I love James Robinson.
20:19
Speaker 1: He's a downhill runner. You wouldn't think he'd be so
20:22
Speaker 1: downhill just because of his size, but a downhill guy
20:25
Speaker 1: they love, pulling guards and tight ends and getting angles
20:27
Speaker 1: on the defensive linemans and linebackers. They does look really
20:30
Speaker 1: efficient and he looks like he understands what he's trying
20:34
Speaker 1: to accomplish. He lets the guy things developed for him.
20:36
Speaker 1: He's patient, but he's also fast enough he gets downhill.
20:39
Speaker 1: The Hawks are gonna have their hands full. They're giving
20:41
Speaker 1: up one hundred and thirty yards on the ground per game,
20:43
Speaker 1: that is thirtieth in the NFL. But they did do
20:45
Speaker 1: a good job against the run last week against Alvin Kamar.
20:48
Speaker 1: He had fifty yards on twenty carries, so that was impressive.
20:53
Speaker 1: There's a chance for the it's setting up for the Hawks.
20:56
Speaker 1: They have a good game right We understand what this
20:58
Speaker 1: team does on offense. This deep fence is playing well.
21:01
Speaker 1: Let's see if Gino can get going. But you gotta
21:03
Speaker 1: stop James Robinson. The next matchup Marvin Jones and Laviska
21:07
Speaker 1: senault junior vers Djid, Trey Brown and Sydney Jones. Marvin
21:12
Speaker 1: Jones man has twenty receptions during the forty three yards
21:17
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns, Laviska twenty six receptions three hundred and
21:21
Speaker 1: six yards. Four other players have at least one hundred
21:23
Speaker 1: yards receiving on this team, so you gotta look after
21:26
Speaker 1: these guys, But there are other guys who can contribute.
21:28
Speaker 1: DJ Reid has had three passes defended in the last
21:30
Speaker 1: three games, and Sidney Jones had a pass defense against
21:33
Speaker 1: the Saints. No receivers got behind these guys the last
21:36
Speaker 1: two games, which is a good thing, but keeping everything
21:39
Speaker 1: in front of them. We saw Trey Brown and Sidney
21:41
Speaker 1: Jones kind of sub each other in and out depending
21:45
Speaker 1: on the possession. I like that approach, but eventually, I
21:47
Speaker 1: think one of those guys will have to establish themselves.
21:50
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's going to be Trey Brown. And then
21:52
Speaker 1: can we get an interception from someone other than Quandre Diggs.
21:56
Speaker 1: He's been super consistent. I think he needs one more
21:59
Speaker 1: interception and he'll be the only guy who had like
22:02
Speaker 1: at least three interceptions in the league in the past
22:04
Speaker 1: five years. But he needs some help. So hopefully DJ,
22:07
Speaker 1: Sidney Jones, Trey Brown in the game can call some turnovers. Yeah,
22:11
Speaker 1: no question about it. I've been calling for for weeks now,
22:13
Speaker 1: and they're right there. They're right there. They're getting they're
22:16
Speaker 1: getting their hands on the football, They're finally starting to
22:19
Speaker 1: have pass breakups, are start finally starting to affect what
22:23
Speaker 1: the other team is doing. I know early in the
22:25
Speaker 1: season there's a lot of issues in the middle of
22:26
Speaker 1: the field. Everyone was given a lot of heat towards
22:29
Speaker 1: the corners when it wasn't just their fault. So I
22:31
Speaker 1: love that they're playing well and I'm hoping they can
22:34
Speaker 1: kind of build off that on this week on Sunday,
22:36
Speaker 1: another matchup, DK Metcalf versus former teammate Shaquille Griffin. Now, DK,
22:42
Speaker 1: he's been, you know, being doing DK things. Thirty three receptions,
22:45
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty seven yards, six touchdowns Shaquille Griffin
22:49
Speaker 1: this year, twenty six tackles, four passes defended. Now these
22:53
Speaker 1: dudes have gone up against each other in practice for
22:55
Speaker 1: years now, right, so I'm really interested to see. No,
22:59
Speaker 1: Shaquille got to go back home. He's on the Jaguars
23:02
Speaker 1: to have a lot of Seahawks connections, so it'll be
23:05
Speaker 1: interesting to see Shaquille Griffin. They paid him. He earned it.
23:08
Speaker 1: He had a good career here in Seattle, went to
23:09
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, did a lot of good things here,
23:11
Speaker 1: and they paid them to be a lockdown corner. They
23:13
Speaker 1: paid them to be somebody that can that can shut
23:15
Speaker 1: down your best receiver. So it'll be interesting to see
23:18
Speaker 1: if he follows dkround or if he hangs out there
23:20
Speaker 1: on that left side and see, you know, whether it's
23:23
Speaker 1: Lockett or DK, whoever's in front of him. So I'm
23:25
Speaker 1: really interested to see what Shaquille Griffin can bring. And
23:27
Speaker 1: on the same side, I mean DK and Tyler, they've
23:30
Speaker 1: been going against this guy in practice for years, so
23:32
Speaker 1: they know how they can get in, you know, and
23:34
Speaker 1: figure things out on him. So it'll be an interesting
23:36
Speaker 1: matchup to watch on Sunday. I'm sure during meetings Shack
23:40
Speaker 1: is a DK and Lockett expert, and DK and Locket
23:44
Speaker 1: our Shack expert, and you know how that goes, you're
23:46
Speaker 1: gonna give each other tips. He likes to do this,
23:48
Speaker 1: He's not good at that. So more familiarity with these
23:51
Speaker 1: two teams, Daryl Bevel and Brian Scheinheimer verse Pete Carroll
23:54
Speaker 1: and Kid Norton. Now these guys called plays for the
23:57
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Brian Schinneheimer setting wreck with his offense last
24:01
Speaker 1: year and got the boot, and Daryl Bevil was a
24:04
Speaker 1: part of the back to back Super Bowl run. So
24:06
Speaker 1: again these guys are gonna be in the meeting talking
24:08
Speaker 1: about personnel and talking about tendencies. Both of them know
24:12
Speaker 1: exactly what Pete wants to do to win football games.
24:15
Speaker 1: But on the flip side, Pete Carroll has spend so
24:16
Speaker 1: much time with both both of these guys, they know
24:19
Speaker 1: their philosophy as well. Kid Nor you can say the
24:21
Speaker 1: same thing. He's gonna understand what Bevill and Shotty want
24:23
Speaker 1: to do. He practiced against somebody's shared coffee with them.
24:26
Speaker 1: I mean, it's familiarity going on in these two games.
24:29
Speaker 1: So it's all about who can exploit the deficiencies on
24:33
Speaker 1: each side of the ball and who just comes to play,
24:35
Speaker 1: because these are teams who really need to win right now.
24:37
Speaker 1: So I expect this to be a really scrappy game overall. Oh,
24:41
Speaker 1: no question about it. It's we talked about this a
24:43
Speaker 1: little bit when the Seahawks played the Rams the first time.
24:45
Speaker 1: When there's that level of familiarity, it's almost like how
24:48
Speaker 1: much Sho I rely on that stuff because people were
24:51
Speaker 1: thinking and then it's all that gamesmanship. He's like, well,
24:53
Speaker 1: they think I'm gonna do this, so I should do that.
24:54
Speaker 1: And then other guy's thinking, well he thinks I'm gonna
24:56
Speaker 1: do this, so I'm gonna you know. So there's a
24:58
Speaker 1: lot of gamesmanship. It'll be interesting to see. But I'm
25:01
Speaker 1: telling you what, man, No one will say it here,
25:03
Speaker 1: but I know, at least for Jacksonville, this game was circled.
25:07
Speaker 1: This game was circled on the calendar for Shaddy, for Bev,
25:12
Speaker 1: for Shaquille. I know they all, um, everyone has my
25:14
Speaker 1: mad love for each other. In terms of the players
25:16
Speaker 1: and the staff, I think Sandre Law is down there,
25:18
Speaker 1: Carlos Heisman some time here. Philip Dorsett was here for
25:21
Speaker 1: a little bit, didn't play, went to Jacksonville Knights back
25:23
Speaker 1: on the squad. So there's a lot of different stuff
25:25
Speaker 1: going on. So it'll be fun to see all these
25:27
Speaker 1: matchups on Sunday see how that impacts the game. But Bump,
25:31
Speaker 1: we really need this, We really need this. We need
25:34
Speaker 1: to figure out how we can win a football game
25:36
Speaker 1: this weekend. Pass to victory at the forty five waits
25:41
Speaker 1: for the staff. Michael Vickson puts it down. That kick
25:44
Speaker 1: is away and that kick is gonn. It's a path
25:50
Speaker 1: to victory on Hawk Talk. Path to victory. You just
25:55
Speaker 1: have to find a way to go. One and oh,
25:57
Speaker 1: that is what it is all about the Sea. I've
26:00
Speaker 1: lost three games in a row for the first time
26:02
Speaker 1: since twenty eleven, in three consecutive home games, where the
26:05
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety two. They were two and
26:08
Speaker 1: fourteen that season. Let's not repeat that. Find a way,
26:12
Speaker 1: be scrappy, get her done, come out ready one and
26:16
Speaker 1: oh yes, absolutely. And if you want to figure out
26:19
Speaker 1: how that nineteen ninety two season went, feel free to
26:21
Speaker 1: reach out to Ray Roberts and Paul Moyer and Dave Wiman.
26:24
Speaker 1: I can tell you all about how good that defense
26:27
Speaker 1: was and it was tough to score definitely, So we
26:29
Speaker 1: want to avoid that. Please. So let's get this offense going.
26:32
Speaker 1: Though it's gonna take all eleven guys to make that happen. Man,
26:35
Speaker 1: I think it's top to bottom. We know how talented
26:37
Speaker 1: this roster is. The offensive line can improve running back
26:40
Speaker 1: to me, better receivers can get open, Gino Smith can
26:42
Speaker 1: be better. So they just got to put it together.
26:44
Speaker 1: We continue to see bits and pieces of drives in
26:48
Speaker 1: really good things, and it's it's just not consistent. You know,
26:51
Speaker 1: ten points is not going to cut it in this league.
26:53
Speaker 1: So we know they can do it. They just got
26:55
Speaker 1: to put it together and just put Gino in a
26:56
Speaker 1: position to win. Man, put them in a position to win.
26:58
Speaker 1: This offense hasn't up talented eyes between DK Tyler, whoever's
27:02
Speaker 1: running the rock, whether it's Trashod Collins, We've seen it
27:04
Speaker 1: from everybody. They's gotta put it together. Put Gino in
27:08
Speaker 1: a position to win. To me, means let him have
27:11
Speaker 1: the ball late in the game and not be driving
27:13
Speaker 1: to win it for once. Let him Hey, let's let's
27:16
Speaker 1: go down and kick a field goal and path the
27:18
Speaker 1: Stads get the lead going. Put Gino in a good spot. Now, defensively,
27:22
Speaker 1: you have to get after Trevor Lawrence turnovers. It's all
27:24
Speaker 1: about turnovers. He's turned the ball over eight times eight
27:27
Speaker 1: interceptions this season, and find a way to get it
27:30
Speaker 1: done by any means. It's like, you know my mom
27:32
Speaker 1: when I was young, right, I used to play on
27:34
Speaker 1: older teams and I'd be hanging out with older kids
27:37
Speaker 1: and she goes, man, whenever you're down, you're getting beat up,
27:40
Speaker 1: just fight dirty, do whatever you gotta do to win,
27:43
Speaker 1: to win the fight. That's what the Hawks got to do.
27:45
Speaker 1: Fight dirty within the rules obviously, but they need to
27:49
Speaker 1: show a hunger that I feel like we haven't seen
27:51
Speaker 1: consistently this year. And if there's a time to do it,
27:53
Speaker 1: as now two and five, you got nothing to lose.
27:55
Speaker 1: Backs against the wall, Absolutely, we're gonna be It's gonna
27:59
Speaker 1: be treat. How super excited for that reminder. Guys, who
